The next tract in the Brown Book appears to be written in a hurry. It is certainly more "scrappy" than some of the other tracts and there are spelling mistakes (or encrypting mistakes) which I've left in the decipher below. It also has a slightly (more) confused and breathless quality than some of the others:

Can you see it? It is possible that no such knowledge [c]omes to you but in time this will change. There will be illvmination. Although the song of the birds pleases us there will be a call to understanding and that which will be will come forth. Only by falling deep within ourselves will that [k]nowledge be revealed. What must we do to stop the joining? We can only talk, collaborate, state our needs. By sitting toggther we tackle the issue. But that is not all. Together, the world turns, apart it is quieted. The contemplation of such stillness should bring us pause. Not for us the simple act of observatipn, instead we surge forwards carrying all before us. But is all this action necessary? We must judge necessitx, focus on the now and see where the movement needs. Who are we to state an imperative? We stand and with a defimitive impulse stride towards a specific purpose. This is what you will receive. A complex situation. If payment is made, this is what you will receive. After the reductions come the conclusion. But what is the number, how can we say for certain? And is this ever needed?
It's difficult to know where to start on this one. It repeats the theme from previous tracts of seeking "illumination" but the second half of the tract is very obscure. It seems to be advocating both action and passiveness, deeds and contemplation. Also the statements about making payments and "what is the number" and whether the number is "needed" make little sense out of overall context.
I'm hoping that this tract is a bit of an aberration. As I mentioned it looks more like frenzied scribbling that the measured approach shown in the other tracts, almost as if the author was desperate to get it written down. Although how you can write quickly in a cipher is difficult to comprehend. The other alternative is that this progression shows some kind of deterioration in the mind of the author. I hope that this is not the case.
