Sandra, I quite agree that in this Tablet the Manifestation is addressing His own eyes, heart, ears and hands. But then, I believe He transitions into both viewing the Hands of the Cause as His own hands; or alternatively says that He will raise up the Hands of the Cause from His own Hands.
In this passage He says just that, and that these Hands -- and from the term "these souls" He may well mean people -- will demonstrate the divine attributes of strength, might and ascendancy:
It has been my understanding that while only specific individuals are part of the Institution of the Hands of the Cause, that being a Hand of the Cause is a station that can potentially be attained by any individual.
