Velikovsky — Moses — Venus — Mars

Grace Van Duzen   April 17, 1970

Immanuel Velikovsky psychoanalyzed Freud, and he then began to study Moses; and this is what really led him into all this. I think the beginning of it is rather interesting. So, what he brought forth primarily and vitally are some new viewpoints with respect to science and all these related fields. He brought a new aspect in consideration of these cataclysms into the picture. Colonel James Churchward [The Lost Continent Of Mu and The Children Of Mu] found out a great deal with respect to his translations of old hieroglyphic writings, but he tended to limit it to the earth itself. Something happened in the earth—volcanoes and earthquakes and all of these—but he missed the point with respect to extraterrestrial activity, and this is what Velikovsky brings in with respect to the planetary family. And it does give a whole new picture, so that what we really need to remember is that something happened back there when, as it is put in Genesis, man was driven from the Garden and man found himself functioning in a different state, because of his own actions, than that in which he was created, and the earth underwent many great and violent upheavals. And then again in an earlier age at the time of Noah, and there were other planetary bodies involved.

We have a comet involved, primarily, at the time of Moses. Velikovsky says it's a comet that came into the earth's orbit, and it came very close to the earth, and it was in the process of becoming a planet. It lost its tail. It looked like a great battle going on in the sky between two bodies. And actually it was the fiery globe of the body, and the tail of the body, and great electrical discharges were emitted and these, of course, involved the earth at this time. It could be that this comet had been a planet at one time—and we're not going to speculate; it's not that that is vitally important right now—but it is possible that it was a planet because of the destruction which occurred between the earth and the other planets, way back there in those olden times, that this comet was in the state it was now.

In any case, it was coming into the earth's orbit, and, as Velikovsky shows in some of his later works, there was not a planet called Venus before this; and so he said that the comet became the planet Venus at this time. There isn't time to go into it; you need to read the book “Worlds In Collision” if you want the background of these conclusions. But the planet Venus was very different at this time than as we see it in the heavens now. It was the primary thing after the comet settled down and became this stable body in the heavens; it still was a fiery thing, a very large thing looking at it from the surface of the earth. And then later, about 700 B.C., we will find something else happening; and it was at that time that this body came into its orbit as we know it today, and became just another planet in the sky, viewed from the earth's surface.

Exodus, the 20th verse here, speaks of what we call plagues; there are ten plagues—called plagues in the Bible, they were very mysterious things because a plague is something really which one thinks of as happening slowly; you know, it's contagious and all this. But these were happenings rather than that sort of a plague; this was something that happened very suddenly according to the story; the results were immediate and drastic. And these things happened all over the face of the earth. The 20th verse: “And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell…” And of course throughout you'll have the story sound like it didn't touch one of the Hebrews, but all the Egyptians. Well, I must say, that's just a concept that has entered in here.

However, there were certain conditions, for instance, in the last plague, a great—what shall we call it, for want of another word—a great electrical shock which reached the earth, and there was a great sudden destruction and many, many people killed, and dwellings overturned, and so on. Well, the nature of the Hebrew dwellings, the huts, the very nature of them, saved many of them, and these outer factors were certainly part of the picture, so that the great cities suffered a great deal more than the other places. And another word with respect to the fact that the Egyptians were killed and the Hebrews were not, because, again, there's a truth in this, isn't there? Those who were focalized, or identified, with the power that was working—here you have the same principle as the flood: that which is in the Ark is lifted up by the same force which destroys that which is not. So, actually, that is what is portrayed in that sort of record.

Pharaoh was being good here and he was letting them go. But read it. He said, “Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.” In other words, what he is saying is, stay in Egypt; you can sacrifice to God in Egypt. And that means conformity with the pattern as it is; that means, yes, you can serve the Lord, but you don't have to go all out, do you? And this is Pharaoh speaking, remember; this is the self-active mind. And also, in the overall picture of all this that's happening—the threatened destruction of the whole earth—remember that the only thing that saves deliverance from Pharaoh, is that there is a Body which will come out of subjection to the self-active mind, so that the Lord can do something.

“And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the Lord our God”—if they stayed in the land. There was a chance for another cycle; something was carried over because of the Presence of Moses, which means the Presence of that which is identified with the Lord. Moses represents all that is thus in tune with Him.

Then in this particular aspect of the cataclysm, it's obvious that this isn't just ordinary hail, is it? When you have hail—ice—there isn't fire running along the ground. These are meteorites and great stones. “So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous”—in other words, hot—“such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.” We'll read a little from “Worlds in Collision”.

The very first manifestation was:

“The red dust, soluble in water, falling from the sky in water drops, does not originate in clouds but must come from volcanic eruptions or from cosmic spaces. The fall of meteorite dust is a phenomenon generally known to take place mainly after the passage of meteorites; this dust is found on the snow of mountains and in polar regions. Following the red dust, a ‘small dust,’ like ‘ashes of the furnace,’ fell ‘in all the land of Egypt’”—he's quoting from Exodus here—“and then a shower of meteorites flew toward the earth. Our planet entered deeper into the tail of the comet. The dust was a forerunner of the gravel. There fell ‘a very grievous hail… Stones of ‘Barad,’ here translated ‘hail,’ is, as in most places where mentioned in the Scriptures, the term for meteorites. We are also informed by Midrashic and Talmudic sources that the stones which fell on Egypt were hot. This fits only meteorites, not a hail of ice.” And then he goes on to say that the thunderings which were heard were more correctly translated “explosions,” “explosion-like noises” or “crashes.” And in this case “they were so ‘mighty’ that, according to the Scriptural narrative, the people in the palace were terrified as much by the din of the falling stones as by the destruction they caused.”

“The red dust had frightened the people, and a warning to keep men and cattle under shelter had been issued: ‘Gather thy cattle…’ Similarly, the Egyptian eye-witness” said, and notice the similarity here with the Biblical record, ‘cattle are left to stray, and there is no one to gather them together. Each man fetches for himself those that are branded with his name.’ Falling stones and fire made the frightened cattle flee. The Egyptian record also says: “‘Trees are destroyed,’ ‘no fruits, no herbs are found,’ ‘grain has perished on every side.’” And then in Exodus it was written that the rye and all the rest was destroyed, remember.

“The description of such a catastrophe is found in … a Buddhist text on world cycles. ‘When a world cycle is destroyed by wind ... there arises a cycle-destroying great cloud’ … and then it gives all these evidences in the same order as we find them in Genesis.” Velikovsky goes into some interesting references with respect to other countries like Mexico and so on. In an ancient epoch it said “the sky ‘rained, not water, but fire and red-hot stones.’” So the similarity is certainly interesting.

Velikovsky had something to say about the darkness here: “The earth entered deeper into the tail of the onrushing comet and approached its body. This approach, if one is to believe the sources, was followed by a disturbance in the rotation of the earth. Terrific hurricanes swept the earth because of the change or reversal of the angular velocity of rotation, and because of the sweeping gases, dust, and cinders of the comet.” In other words, he's saying that the contact here—not of the bodies themselves but their atmospheres, contacting so closely there was this terrific impact. We say electrical discharge, but of course out there it involves a lot more than electricity as we know it, but this mighty thing which was a fantastic shock to the earth and its particular relationship with the other bodies.”

“Numerous rabbinical sources describe the calamity of darkness; the material is collated as follows: An exceedingly strong wind endured seven days. All the time the land was shrouded in darkness. ‘On the fourth, fifth and sixth days, the darkness was so dense that they could not stir from their place.’ ‘The darkness was of such a nature that it could not be dispelled by artificial means. The light of the fire was either extinguished by the violence of storm, or else it was made invisible and swallowed up in the density of the darkness... Nothing could be discerned... None was able to speak or to hear, nor could anyone venture to take food, but they lay themselves down... their outward senses in a trance. Thus they remained, overwhelmed by the affliction.’” This indicates a condition of shock of some kind, doesn't it? “The darkness was of such kind that ‘their eyes were blinded by it and their breath choked’; it was 'not of ordinary earthy kind.’”

“If ‘the Egyptian darkness’ was caused by the earth's stasis or tilting of its axis, and was aggravated by a thin cinder dust from the comet, then the entire globe must have suffered from the effect of these two concurring phenomena; in either the eastern or the western parts of the world there must have been a very extended, gloomy day… Nations and tribes in many places of the globe, to the south, to the north, and to the west of Egypt, have old traditions about a cosmic catastrophe during which the sun did not shine; but in some parts of the world the tradition maintains that the sun did not set for a period of time equal to a few days,” according to where they were located.

“Tribes of the Sudan to the south of Egypt refer in their tales to a time when the night would not come to an end. Kalevala, the epos of the Finns, tells of a time when hailstones of iron fell from the sky, and the sun and the moon disappeared (were stolen from the sky) and did not appear again; in their stead, after a period of darkness, a new sun and a new moon were placed in the sky. Caius Julius Solinus writes that ‘following the deluge which is reported to have occurred in the days Ogyges, a heavy night spread over the globe.” And Velikovsky goes on around the world with these records.

At this point we have the beginning of regulations and it rules with respect to the Passover. And they were to eat it just with their clothes on and everything ready to flee, ready to go; the minute Pharaoh said go, they were ready to go. Pharaoh is beginning to give in here at the point where that would be the end of him. It comes to that, doesn't it? It comes absolutely to giving all, and it's one way or the other—either eliminated or yielding completely. That's really what it is.

Now, with respect to this that's going on in the sky, Velikovsky says: “The earth, forced out of its regular motion, reacted to the close approach of the body of the comet: a major shock convulsed the lithosphere, and the area of the earthquake was the entire globe. Ipuwer [the Egyptian] witnessed and survived this earthquake. [He said] ‘The towns are destroyed. Upper Egypt has become waste... All is ruin.’ ‘The residence [meaning the palace] is overturned in a minute.’ Only an earthquake could have overturned the residence in a minute. The Egyptian word for ‘to overturn’ is used in the sense of ‘to overthrow a wall.’ The reason why the Israelites were more fortunate...” I've mentioned this, that they're living in huts of clay and so on; but of course the meaning behind it is the one in which we are interested.

Now considering the word first-born, Velikovsky says: “In Ages in Chaos (my reconstruction of ancient history), I shall show that ‘first-born’ in the text of the plague is a corruption of ‘chosen.’ All the flower or chosen of Egypt succumbed in the catastrophe,” so that this picture of the first-born, or the oldest in each family, and of all the animals and everything, was killed, does tax one's credulity. But here he shows the difference in these two words. He says, in the translation—of course, this is true of a lot of words that have come down in translation—so that here what should have been “chosen” in the record, he says, came out as “first-born.” In other words, there was no discernment. This is simply the working of the Law, and the chosen of Egypt were taken; very specific reference in the Egyptian record to the son of the Pharaoh, for instance, and this may, of course, have influenced the record; the fact that the son of the Pharaoh actually was killed may certainly have influenced this. But it makes an interesting study with respect to these old words, and how the distortions appeared.

Velikovsky says: “The head of the celestial body approached very close, breaking through the darkness of the gaseous envelope, and according to the Midrashim, the last night in Egypt was as bright as the noon on the day of the summer solstice. The population fled. ‘Men flee... Tents are what they make like the dwellers of hills,’ wrote Ipuwer. The population of a city destroyed by an earthquake usually spends the nights in the fields. The Book of Exodus describes a hurried flight from Egypt on the night of the tenth plague; a ‘mixed multitude’ of non-Israelites left Egypt together with the Israelites...” There were many Egyptians who fled with them. ‘“The lightenings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook... Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.’”

“‘At midnight’ all the houses of Egypt were smitten; ‘there was not a house where there was not one dead.’ This happened on the night of the fourteenth of the month Aviv. This is the night of Passover. It appears that the Israelites originally celebrated Passover on the eve of the fourteenth of Aviv. “[This] is called ‘the first month.’ Thout was the name of the first month of the Egyptians. What, for the Israelites, became a feast, became a day of sadness and fasting for the Egyptians.” Rather interesting, isn't it? Now, he's quoting: “‘The thirteenth day of the month Thout is a very bad day. Thou shalt not do anything on this day. It is the day of the combat which Horus waged with Seth.’”

The thirteenth day of the month. This goes back to 1,500 B.C., and Velikovsky said it very easily could be the origin of this superstition; and whereas the Hebrews have written this up as the great day of deliverance for them, here you have the picture of something identified with what was going on, moving; and the Egyptians who were acted upon have this consciousness of being acted upon. And incidentally it was true of all the records that he found all over the face of the earth, was this Egyptian attitude of “this dreadful thing that happened to us—a most awful thing.” So, it's the only record we have which has this other identification in it. So, the thirteenth day was a very bad day for the Egyptians. It gives us a new attitude with respect to the thirteen, doesn't it?

Now, let's go back in this chapter and look with respect to the Passover here. This is looked upon as a prophecy for what would occur later—using hindsight, of course—go back and see this as a prophecy with respect to what happened to Jesus later, the sacrifice of the Lamb. And yet let's look at really what was here. And the Lamb, remember, is another word, exactly the same symbol, for Jehovah, the expression of God through His means on earth, through human form. This is Jehovah in the First Sacred School or the Old Testament. It has the same meaning as Christ in the New Testament. And then the Lamb is the Word used in Revelation. So you have the First and Second Sacred Schools represented here. The Lamb is another word for the expression of the Christ in the New Testament, or the expression of Jehovah. It's all the same thing. It is the expression of God in human form, or through human form—and that is Life. And there’s no other Life; all other forms die. In other words, it is the very expression of God for this place of creation—specifically through human form. And blood, we know the symbol of Life; so what would you guess might be going on in this symbol?

The blood of, the Life of, the Lamb, then, or the expression of God through human form, is painted on the sides and the top of the door here, or in expression through the human form. Here is the physical substance—the door; and when this is the case, death passed over. And yet, again, it is turned completely around and translated as though this was God's Will, and here is the prophecy that it would happen to His own Son. Always he—Pharaoh—takes these symbols in his mind and turns it around completely; but it's saying that where this is in expression, death passes over that house. It is not the will for that house.

Now, there is reference again to many meanings with respect to that pillar of fire by night and the pillar of cloud by day. Velikovsky had something to say about that also in his works, again that which was appearing in the heavens—the comet and its tail; and there were many forms given to it. In many lands, this seemed to be the origin of the dragon, and you have the fiery globe, seeming to fight with a serpent, or the tail, which took the appearance of a dragon. And it would change its shape in all this that was going on, so that dragons and something that applied to the different nationalities and their interpretation did come into their religion at this time.

It's interesting that this one history has it as something constructive, meaning that they were identified with the power that was working; and if this isn't true, when something like this happens, then it's all destroyed. It means that this which was occurring was certainly not unrelated to what had happened before at the time of great destruction with Lemuria and Atlantis, and remember that they were all really part of the same thing, over a period of time. But here again was something quite drastic, and it came out, if we take a good long look backward, with a constructive result. We can see that this planet was restored, and something later happened—as I say, we'll come to it about 700 B.C. when there was something else happening in the heavens that came close again, and Mars was involved, when it found its orbit which it has today. But all through these years, Venus, and all the other names for Venus, played a very, very great part in the history of all peoples, because it was such a big thing in the sky. You look in the sky tonight and you wouldn’t pick Venus out particularly; you certainly wouldn't worship it; but through these years, between this time and about 700 B.C. it was doing all these things in the heavens. But at this time it did become a planet, the orb without the tail. But you have all this rain of meteorites, and really a time of very great destruction on the face of the earth.

But the part that Pharaoh plays—the record is perfect here—indicates that he brought this about; it was man's fall; it was the state in which man found himself that all this had happened. The reason for the destruction was there, the same as the destruction that had happened at the other great cataclysmic events, something had been thrown out—and here was an opportunity to correct it, with respect to what was happening in the Cosmic Family, the planetary bodies—and Pharaoh [the self-active mind] was right here on earth.

There had to be something aligned with what was happening in the heavens—with God, they say. They were working with God. It was Moses who did it. Moses stretched out his hand, and this is absolutely vital. Perhaps we think, “Well, that's too much.” It taxes our mind too much to think we would have that kind of a part to play in the whole family, but the whole family is ONE—whether it's planetary, cosmic, universal—made in the image and likeness of God. There must be that in action on earth; and there was that in evidence here symbolized by Moses, and there very definitely must be that now, because we're not talking about something back there. We're talking about this day.

Events Subsequent To The Fall Of Man

Submersion Of Lemuria And Atlantis

Uranda   March 27, 1953

We have been going through the process of becoming oriented in relationship to some the obscurities of the past, the basic patterns which were involved in relationship to the fall of man, and we carried the pattern forward so that you could see that the period covered by Old Testament history was under a Water — Fire — Fire pattern.

You will recall that in days gone by there was a period when Mars, the planet, was worshipped as a god. And there was another period when the planet Venus was worshipped as a god. If you go out and look up at the sky at a time when either Venus or Mars are visible in the sky, do you see anything that should be so outstandingly different from the other planets, that the ancients would particularly pick out such planets as objects of worship? The simple answer is, you do not. There is not enough difference in relationship to the appearance in the sky, not enough obvious relationship to warrant any such adoration or concern or fear as was once shown toward these planets. We have, right on the face of it, obvious evidence that these planets were not always functioning in the orbits where they now are. We have obvious evidence that they were in some other position than they are in relationship to our own planet. Now we will not attempt to go into that extensively. We have some text material on this point, in relationship to what has been gathered on a very scientific basis as evidence, and in a general sense the outline as it is given is very good. Some of the conclusions drawn from the scientific evidence we cannot agree with, but the scientific evidence itself stands and is worthy of a good deal of consideration.

Perhaps we will have time to go into it somewhat later on, but going back for the moment to some of the things that worked out in relationship to the processes of the fall. Up to the time when the fall took place there was no disturbance in the patterns of polarity, the cycles were working normally, but it was through Man, the Focalization of Creation, that these currents were working in relationship to creation. When man was in right polarity the planet itself and the various levels of creation were held in polarity in relationship to the cosmic scheme of things. But when the fall had taken place, from the divine standpoint there were certain problems which were posed.

Those who did not fall, those who maintained the right pattern, were keeping the earth in right polarity and maintaining conditions where it made it seem that those who were functioning wrongly were not reaping any ill results of their wrong action, because the right pattern was maintained for them and all around them. And consequently they took the attitude, “See, we are doing as we please and the ill results which were suggested simply have not appeared.” Therefore they felt justified and were utterly unrepentant. Everything within that scope of the pattern was done to give them ample opportunity to return to the Divine Design, and it was not at all necessary that all these thousands of years of suffering and misery and sorrow and death should have followed.

To say that man turned away and that God could not do anything about it, that man then had to go through all this long cycle, and Jesus Christ had to come into the world, and all the rest of it, just because man originally fell, is utterly wrong. There was plenty of opportunity at that tine for those who had turned into the wrong path to repent. But the violent results did not immediately appear, not in the sense that would carry conviction. One of the points that we notice with respect to the outworking, as it is given in the blueprint which we call the Book of Revelation, is that there should come a point when there would be a basic recognition that “just and righteous altogether are Thy judgments, O Lord.” And as long as there was a pattern where it would appear that God's judgments were not just and righteous, the thing had to be proven out. In other words, merely because God could foresee such-and-such a result, merely because from the divine standpoint there was a definite recognition of what would take place, and that it would be justified to take such-and-such an action, those who were not functioning in relationship to that level of consciousness and who simply could not see that there was any justification in taking the attitude toward them that was taken, they felt self-righteous and took the attitude that God was not being fair, that His judgments were not right. I have had that same attitude displayed toward me many a time. Then what was to be done? The thing had to prove itself out.

It was not God's purpose or intention that death should appear on the earth, and all the miseries that produce death. There are those who believe that God created man and intended that man should fall; He did not intend that man should remain in some kind of a perfect state — that God was not fair to man; man at that time was just like a little child; he did not know right from evil and he made this mistake and then he did this, he did that, and so on. And God either condemned everybody just because one who was comparable to a child made a mistake, which would be unjust, or else God intended that man should fall. So man's rationalizations, attempting to work out an idea that would not make it appear that God was too unjust, have brought about a conclusion that God simply intended man to fall and that death is a part of the Divine Plan, a part of the school, or a part of an opportunity to grow or something.

So the concept that death is absolutely essential to life is widely held and the inevitability of death, etc., is greatly emphasized. As the pattern now stands certain substances of the body or certain parts of the body, or some body is going to die, as we say — but death is not at all what it seems to be to human beings, and that which is in the divine scope of things is not death. We have recognized that the Divine Design was birth and ascension, not birth and death. Once we begin to actually realize that, we can see that God did not intend that man should fall. All of this misery and suffering and sorrow has not been a part of the Divine Plan. It has all been contrary to God’s will, contrary to God’s Plan, and when I say contrary to God's will, again we come up against one of the popular religious concepts, because there are millions of people who believe that everything that happens is God's will. God is all powerful, therefore nothing can happen without God's will, and if something happens to you, it is God's will. If there is a tragedy, a death, a suffering, a sickness, an illness, or anything else, it is God's will. And they take the attitude that it would be somehow blasphemous to suggest that anything on the face of the earth happened without it being God's will.

Carried out to its logical conclusion, you have to admit that everybody that lies, everybody that murders, everybody that steals, everybody that does anything evil, is doing God's will. You cannot be logical in that kind of a pattern without carrying it right on and recognizing that it includes everything. Very well, if everyone who does something wrong is doing God's will, then God is not properly going to punish the person that does His will, is He? He should reward. It gets back to the same point I made with respect to Judas, because if it were God's will that Jesus Christ should die on the cross in order to save people from their sins, then we must admit that Judas of all men, outside of the Master Himself, rendered the greatest service to each and every one. We cannot agree to that. No, it was not God's will. Judas was not predestined to do that. He was not acting on Divine Impulse. So we begin to realize, wherever we turn, there is evidence of the fact that it was not God's intention that all of this misery and suffering and sorrow should come into the world. We have had over twenty thousand years of a pattern on earth that was not necessary, that God did not intend, and that is not in any sense a fulfilment of His Plan; and until we get out of it, we are not in position to continue on in the outworking of His Plan.

So the immediate goal is to get man out of the situation. That is merely an incidental plan to the situation. Man has come to act as if he believed that God's whole purpose and plan was to save man, and after that was done, there is nothing else. But God's plan did not include the fall of man. That was not the purpose or intent, and until we get back into that pattern that God did design, we will not be functioning according to our true purpose. So this work of bringing about the restoration is simply an interim plan and purpose in order to reinstate man in a position where he can function according to the Divine Plan. Once we begin to see that, we can begin to take the right attitude toward the basic facts of life as they relate to man's present situation.

Well then, we see, going back again to that original point, that those who had fallen were not producing the condition which their acts would naturally produce. Why? Because there were other people in the world who were not functioning in that manner, who were maintaining the polarity as far as the earth itself was concerned, who were maintaining a condition that let evil people — people that were rebellious and following their own fancies — have all the blessings, practically speaking, in an outer sense, of right function. Well, after a reasonable period of time given to those people to repent and return, God had to make a change. Now God is not a destroyer. He is a creator. So it would have looked unjust — the surface appearance, the evidence, would not have been present to have simply annihilated those people, to have said, “Well now here, we will just annihilate you and the rest of the folks will be all right, so we will go right on.” But that is not God’s way. And the evidence was not manifest.

The judgment would have been in the appearance of an assumption, because the outworking of the cycle was not manifest. God could foresee what the outworking would be, but to judge on that basis without the cycle actually having worked out would have made it appear that God was perhaps unjust. So the only thing to do, after a reasonable period of time, was to have all of those who were functioning correctly — except a few, very few, who were to remain as leaders and teachers [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/lord-of-spirits.html] to give an opportunity to man — to have everybody else ascend — a mass ascension of millions of people away from the earth's surface, leaving only a few to be leaders and teachers to whatever degree those who remained would listen, after they began to see the actual evidence of their wrong doing, the results in manifestation. There had been, to make it a little more exact, group ascensions quite a while before the final one, which allowed some evidence to appear, but it was not enough to convince the self-active minds of men. They took the attitude, “Well, you folks go on. We do not care. We do not need you. Look, we are getting along all right. This threat that you are all going to ascend and leave us, what difference does that make to us? Go on. We would like to have the earth all to ourselves.” They took that basic attitude. So the day came when there was a mass ascension of those who remained, and the earth was left to them with the few exceptions I have mentioned.

And so, what happened? Those who remained were out of polarity. The cosmic currents working in relationship to the earth had been moving through Man, Divine Man, in polarity. That body of control was removed and the control factors were consequently gone. So the cosmic currents which function in relationship to the earth, the solar system, and so on, had to be without any means of manifestation, or work through man who was out of polarity. Immediately then, the earth itself was thrown out of polarity. The polarity of the earth depends upon the polarity of man as a human family. Not just one or two human beings, no, but the whole human family. The polarity of the earth itself depends upon the polarity of Man — meaning mankind. So immediately the earth itself was thrown out of polarity. It was wrenched suddenly off of its axis, the subterranean supports under the earth crumbled, fountains of waters gushed out, flames of fire appeared in violent volcanic eruptions, and over a period of about seven thousand years after this real process of submersion began the Motherland or Lemuria was in the process of submersion — terrific earthquakes and all kinds of things. The earth was reeling to and fro on its axis much more than it is today, and it was thrown out of its orbit in relationship to the sun.

Now, when we have a solar system, a sun with various planets around it, and one planet is suddenly thrown out of its orbit and out of its polarity, are all the other planets going to be unmoved by it? No, because they have an inter-relationship. Their particularized positions depend not just upon the individual planet’s relationship to the sun. Our particularized position in the planetary system depends not just on the sun and our planet as such, but upon the influences, gravitational and otherwise, of the other planets of the solar system. Do you see that? It could not be any other way, because no group of bodies in what would be called space, functioning in relationship to each other, can have no influence upon each other. They do have an influence, according to their mass and density and make-up, etc. There are variations of gravitational influence, just to name one thing, and there are many other vibrational factors involved. So when the earth was thrown out of its polarity and out of its orbit, it likewise threw other planets out of their orbits, and the pattern worked out so that the … well, there was a gravitational mess, shall we say. There were certain of the planets which, due to these factors … and they worked out in relationship to some comets. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/perspective-vision-54.html] I am going to have to bring in the pattern of comets here, to make this clear.

The comets of which we are aware, the comets which come within the range of our vision so that we can see them and know about them and chart them and so on, are a part of our solar system. I do not know whether you knew that or not, but you can study into it if you wish, from the standpoint of astronomy. They have the sun as their point of orientation — our sun. And these comets which are a part of our solar system are likewise a part of the basic material factors of our relationship with the rest of the universe. A rather limited but suggestive illustration would be the fact that there are red blood corpuscles. Suppose you figure the heart as the center of the physical organism and we have various organs at certain distances from the heart, and certain members of the body, like hands and feet, which revolve in a sense around the heart, or function in relationship to it; but there is likewise something that goes to the heart and out to the extremities and back again, the circulation of blood, or the red blood corpuscles, etc.

Now, of course the application of the principle is different in relationship to you as a human being, but just exactly as that is true in you as a human being, the relationship of this planetary system with the rest of the universe had to be established on a basis that was not just purely spiritual, shall we say. There had to be physical factors. And the comets, of which there are many, are a part of this pattern. Now when things were thrown out of polarity and the comets were functioning as they did — they had a part in maintaining particularized balance and rhythm in the movement of the planets themselves —  there were certain planets which were thrown into a comet pattern. I might mention that there is one of the planets which belongs in the solar system as a planet which is still to this day functioning as a comet.

Now, we talk about physical changes in the solar system, physical changes in relationship to the earth. These things do not come about all just because of what we might call spiritual means — the idea of changing the pattern in relationship to the earth. How is it that the earth itself is going to be caused to move in the future yet on a basis which makes it seem that the heavens are rolled together as a scroll? Suppose you are standing here on the earth's surface and looking up at the sky and suddenly, because of variations in gravitational pattern, the earth is thrown suddenly on its axis and rolled over the other way. You are used to it rolling one way. How about having it roll the other way on its axis, or north to south, we will say? If you are looking up at the sky under that circumstance, aside from a lot of other things that will be happening, it would appear that the sky was rolling together as a scroll. And if the earth is thrown into a serious wobble on its axis, as has been the case in the past and as will be the case in the future, we have some very interesting results.

Now the earth will ultimately, in the outworking of the Divine Pattern, one way or another be restored to its normal balance in the axis pattern. This excessive wobble that we have today will be eliminated, and we will be restored to our proper distance from the sun. We are not out very much from that distance or human beings could not live. You see, if the variations were too much the conditions necessary for the life of man would be gone. So this is one of the factors which makes it impossible for man, under the present time, to live more than a hundred years or so, generally speaking. Because the earth itself is out of key, the vibrational factors of the solar system have to be changed — and just you and I, or a few human beings, this group for instance, even if we begin to function on a reasonably good basis, just that alone is not going to produce the conditions necessary to the perfect fulfilment of the Plan. We have to carry on under these conditions until we become powerful enough in relationship to centering, in relationship to control patterns, to allow the vibratory factors to move through us as a means of establishing right polarity for the earth.

But it will be more than that, just as it was more than that at the time of the fall. For at the time this works out, our sister planet which is at the present time functioning as a comet — and because of that we have been able to maintain conditions in the solar system which would let man live even as long as he does now — is going to be restored to her position as a planet, and the vibratory balance will have to be worked out again. When that planet which is now acting as a comet comes back into the solar system, we need to be ready for it. We will not try to restore the earth to its right polarity until the right vibrational conditions have been reached in the sense of the creative processes.

Even if we were ready today,

and it would take at least one hundred and forty-four thousand people

who were perfectly centered and coordinated as a control pattern

to even begin to think about it.

But suppose we were ready today, which we are not, we would still have to wait until the cycles of time worked out, the right vibratory patterns were developed, and the time had come in these patterns of movement for our sister planet to return to the solar system. But when that time comes, we had better be ready. Now we do not have too much time. In other words, you cannot say, “Well, if that is the case, it does not make any difference what we do.” It does! And we had better be getting ready or we will have trouble. But that means that a whole new vibrational pattern will be re-established in the solar system and so in the earth, a vibrational pattern which would make it possible for man to actually do what he was created to do, equipped to do. We cannot expect now, under this vibrational pattern, to live for say five thousand years. That was what man was created to do — any length of time necessary, as I have pointed out before. But until we reestablish the right conditions, we are not going to do that. So we had better do our part toward re-establishing the right conditions. That is part of our job now.

And from the standpoint of what the Master did, we talk about the salvation of man. What is the salvation of man? It is the outworking of this Whole Plan, so that the solar system and our planet can be restored to the Divine Estate, and until they are man is certainly not going to have the opportunity to live according to the full pattern of that Divine Estate. We can reach a certain degree of development and accomplishment under conditions as they are, far more than has been. There is no block ahead of you; do not worry about it. But that is as much a part of the salvation of man as anything that anyone can do. That is what was part of the program when our Master came into the world. The idea that it was all worked out when He died on the cross, as people put it, is so utterly infantile when one begins to see the truth of the matter. We see that the salvation of man requires the restoration of the earth itself to its proper point and pattern of function in the cosmic scheme of things. So just as the earth was thrown out of polarity, so will the earth be brought back into polarity, and the comets will have a part to play, other planets will have a part to play.

And there was a period during Old Testament history even when certain of the planets, Mars and Venus in the different cycles, were actually so close to the earth that they had the appearance of being much larger than our moon — and there was fire, the gravitational pulls involved between the two, electrical discharges manifesting between the two, and it is no wonder that the people then looked up in the sky and saw this great fiery monster as it appeared to them, and worshipped it. It was not in its present place in the solar system. Now if you have never heard anything like that before, it may sound a little fantastic to begin with, but we can look into it, we can examine it, because what I am talking about is a scientific fact — and there is a physical factor in relationship to all of these things.

For instance, you go back and consider some of the things that are spoken of in the Old Testament, and people will say, “Well, that is just a physical impossibility, the earth standing still, or this happening or that happening.” What was it that produced the peculiar conditions during the time when the Children of Israel were wandering in the wilderness? What was the manna from heaven? All right. The manna from heaven was something that was peculiar to that particular time and period when there had been a near collision between our earth and another planet, and there was a period of about forty years when they did not see the sun — the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. Is this just something fantastic that someone dreamed up, or is it something supernatural? No, there are sound, scientific, physical facts in relationship to every one of these incidents, and they are not just something imaginary or something achieved by some peculiar mystic means. When we begin to realize that there is a basic, scientific, physical fact back of every one of these outworkings, we will begin to see that we are not trying to do something that cannot be done; because whatever we do here, we are working on the basis of those scientific facts — not to try to achieve the impossible — out to set up vibratory conditions which will make it possible for us to utilize certain physical facts which are yet in the future. And if we are not ready when they come, it will be just too bad. So we intend to be ready. And all of these things are basic, and once you begin to see them — I think maybe I will have to take a little time, from the nature of the vibratory pattern here this morning, I think maybe I am going to have to take a little time to really study some of these things with you, just enough at least to let you see what I am talking about. But all of these things were working out during the period of the time of the Children of Israel; that is, certain of these things were, and some of them back beyond that.

But now I want to bring into focus one other point for you, to see what happened, because as I indicated the other day with respect to the graph of life, man went through a process of devolution or descending before he began to come back up to the level where he now is. He did not come out of oblivion, developing out of an amoeba or something. Man as a Divine Being was. Man fell. The graph of life went down very rapidly after the submersion of Atlantis, the continent that was on the earth's surface where the Atlantic Ocean now is. I might mention that the story of driving man out of the Garden of Eden, as it is touched on so briefly in the Bible, is the story of the submersion of Lemuria. And about a thousand years later there was the submersion of Atlantis, and that story is the same as the story of the flood in the Bible —  the same story as the submersion of Atlantis. Driving man, as it is pictured here, out of the Garden of Eden — the submersion of Lemuria or the Motherland. And about a thousand years later, Atlantis went down.

We have recognized that at that time, or during those periods, there were vast portions of this continent under water. Plenty of geological evidence of it. You can find something that belonged at the bottom of the sea on top of our highest mountains. How did it happen? Well, I can tell you how it happened. Because until you begin to see how this old earth has been pushed and pulled and jammed and shoved around, you cannot understand it. And it did not take millions of years as some have thought, because those who developed those fantastic concepts — that is what they are actually — did not have any idea of what the physical factors back of all of this were, and so we will take a little look at it.

When the submersion of Atlantis took place — during that thousand years there was quite a development. Atlantis became the centering of world government after it was lost from Lemuria, and civilization began to pick up again — a thousand years. How long have we been on this continent? When was it that Columbus sailed the ocean blue? 1492. About five hundred years, would you say? And all of this, all of our great cities, all of the things we have done, our railroads, everything — in five hundred years we have accomplished all of this. Now, of course they were in much better position to accomplish things in the days of Atlantis, and they had a thousand years. Stop and look at it that way and you will begin to see something. Because in five hundred years, look what we have done in this day and age. Handicapped as we were, using ox-carts and all the rest of it, and look what we have done in this period of time. They had a thousand years in Atlantis. So when I say there was a considerable period of development, you should begin to understand that there was something really far superior to anything that we have today, even under that regime. But it was not what it should have been; and various factors worked out, and Atlantis went down. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/sethenochnoah.html]

Then there were so many changes in the earth's surface at that time, so many changes in climate, in atmospheric conditions. There were just a few people comparatively speaking, scattered, isolated. The sudden changes produced what we have called the Ice Age, because that water froze suddenly. We have plenty of scientific proof of that, have we not? — that that water became frozen very suddenly. How did it happen? Because of the fact that the earth was reeling to-and-fro like a drunken man, the wobble was terrific, the climatic conditions changed, and what was a comparatively lovely climate became extremely severe, much more severe than we have at the present time, in fact. And these people were isolated.

Suppose you — it is not a very nice thing to imagine — but suppose there were enough atomic bombs fell right here on the earth, on our country, to absolutely wipe out our cities, wreck our communication systems, and have just two or three people here, maybe three or four over there, hiding in the mountains, living in caves, no resources as we think of them today, no cars, no airplanes, nothing; just civilization wiped out and a few scattered, actually maybe over the whole earth, maybe a few thousand people. Of course, it is pictured here in the story of the flood, just as Noah and his family. Well, allegorically that is true, but there were several thousand people in different parts of the earth who were saved.

Noah is the story given allegorically with respect to one family, [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/build-ye-ark.html] but there were other families who were saved. The point is that these people did not know whether anyone else lived on the face of the earth or not. They had no means of communication. The second and third generation — and generations would become very short there, would they not? — you would have to be using clubs to kill some animals to get some food. The earth itself was covered with a density of clouds and dust and so on until you could not see the sun. You could not tell what the directions were. For a long time they did not know what was north or south, they could not see the stars, they could not see the sun or the moon, and it was cold, bitter cold. They were living in caves, trying to find some wild animals, get their skins to clothe themselves and so on. Oh, there was a cave-man age sure enough, but it came on so suddenly.

And how rapidly under those conditions, when every resource had to be given to the preservation of physical life, how rapidly would the consciousness of things gone by disappear. A grandparent talking to his grandson, trying to tell him something of what was before, he would have nothing to go by; the child could not see it, it would sound like, “Grandpa is a little nutty, you know. He is a little cracked. He talks about such things as that. Why, we all know that such a thing could not be.” Grandpa saw it and grandson did not, and how quickly it is all turned legend and myth. Do you see what I mean? And in a few years, fifty years even, suppose our civilization was wiped out and there were only three or four hundred people left, scattered all over, they did not know that anyone else was left; perhaps they were the only survivors, each one thinking that, how long would it take? And, if going through the woods, Grandpa and grandson stumbled on something peculiar, grandson does not know what it is. “What is that Grandfather?” “That is what we used to call a railroad track. Here is a little part that did not get covered up, some old rusty rails shining through the weeds and the undergrowth. I will try to tell you what a railroad was like. Now let us see, how can I tell you what a railroad was like?” — a railroad engine, no way of telling; a railroad train, no way of telling. “Pieces of metal there,” and Grandpa gets dreamy and he tries to tell grandson about it, and grandson shakes his head. “Grandpa is sure just about gone.” Can you see the picture?

Well, that is what happened then after the submersion of Atlantis, and the earth was plunged into that particular state and man forgot all about everything except trying to survive in a few very widely scattered points, and he was living in caves. How quickly does he revert to primarily an animal pattern under those circumstances. He has no means but his own wit and strength and a club to kill wild animals to get something to eat, and skins to clothe himself. And so when I say in five hundred years — remember we accomplished all this building up in five hundred years — does it sound so fantastic then when I say five hundred years from the time of the submersion of Atlantis there were just a few scattered tribes, a few cave-men here, a few nomads there, and civilization as it had been known was gone; those tribes were in most cases enemies to each other; they did not trust each other, and so on. And there you see the picture of the low point to which man went down. And gradually he began to come up out of that, and finally in the early dawn of history we see Egypt appearing on the horizon. We begin to see the Near East. We begin to see something of that development working out in the Oriental pattern, and going back we can see something with respect to what was the fact down here in Central America, what we call Mexico now, and on down into South America, the Aztecs, etc — and all that you can do is go back five or six thousand B. C. in history.

So man was emerging for several thousand years to get up to the point where he reached a state of civilization that allowed him to begin to make a record of his doings. Is that not what we call civilization? — man reaching a point where he starts making a record of what he does, so you have history. He begins to have an organized society. And that was the dawn of history as we know it. But I have given you just a tiny glimpse of the history that went before it so that you can begin to see something of the influences, and we have not been on a long journey up from the state of an amoeba. We have the background of Divine Man, the fall of man, this plunge into the cave-man stage and the Ice Age, and so on.

Why did the great layers of ice come plowing down across the earth’s surface as they did? If I take you up I can show you territory right out here on our plains where you can see the edge of where a great glacier came plowing along, pushing earth in front of it, and then it got that far and melted. The edge of it is right out here. I have flown over it many, many times. Oh yes, glacial action and all the rest of it, things that geology has not been able to comprehend except to know that there had to be an Ice Age — and because they did not know about this sudden shifting on the earth's axis and all of these other things, they imagine it had to creep down there and take millions of years. “Glaciers travel so fast, do they not? Why it would take so many million years for that glacier to reach from the North Pole to right out there.” Presto-change-o, you have the millions of years of evolution. But that is not the case at all. You begin to see how and why these things happened. And you begin to understand the sound, scientific facts back of them. And remember that only as we are scientific and fundamental in relationship to these things, can we cause spiritual understanding to have any real value in living.

Build Ye An Ark

Build  Ye  An  Ark

Martin Cecil   May 24, 1961

I would like to talk to you about the Ark. There are three specific references to an Ark in the Bible, although there are many, many references to that which is signified by the Ark, utilizing other terms. The three references of course relate to Noah's Ark, the Ark in which Moses was placed as a babe, and the Ark which occupied the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle and in the Temple. These three particular things that were designated by the word Ark—at least it is so translated—are apparently on the surface very different, and yet they all signify the same thing. The Ark which Noah built, and subsequently occupied with his family and a number of creatures, according to the story, was designed to preserve life. Life of course is a primary evidence of the Presence of God. Afterwards, when the Tabernacle was built and the Ark was in it, the statement was made a number of times with respect to the Glory of the Lord filling the Tabernacle and shining round about. This Cloud of Glory relates to Life and is the aspect of the Shekinah Pattern of Being of which man is first aware. Wherever life manifests there is evidence of the Presence of God. And so if Noah's Ark was built to preserve life it was therefore built to preserve the evidence of the Presence of God on earth.

Human beings, tending toward self-centeredness, usually consider that the Ark was built just simply to save a few human beings and a few animals. The fact of the matter is that it was designed to maintain the Presence of God on earth, and we find that this is true in relationship to the other Arks—the Ark in which Moses was placed as a baby, and the Ark in the Tabernacle. In Moses' subsequent experience it is quite evident that through him the Lord had a most definite hand in the outworking affairs of the children of Israel, and of others, so the fact that Moses was preserved, preserved a Focalization of Being which gave evidence in season, particularly later, of the Presence of God on earth. Again, the Ark in the Tabernacle was used to portray this same principle. In the Book of Revelation, in the 21st Chapter, it is indicated that "the tabernacle of God is with men." The Tabernacle houses the Ark, and the Ark is that which preserves life, or the evidence of the Presence of God on earth.

We have seen that there has been a very inadequate evidence in this regard in the world, even when the special opportunities were provided by God in relationship to the children of men. The one we recognize most specifically in this regard of course relates to the Presence of the LORD Himself on earth, and yet what a very inadequate manifestation even that was. Certainly the fulness of the presence of the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings was not revealed to the children of men. Just as much as response would permit was revealed, and the response was very limited, so the revelation in fact, no matter how marvelous it may appear in the eyes of men, was a very small thing relative to the potentiality. And when our Master came He said, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head"—there was no Ark on earth

the Ark which makes possible the preservation of the Presence of God in safety on earth.

Now of course human beings cannot destroy God or hurt God, make God any different than He is, but they can prevent the manifestation of God in this realm of things, and for the most part we have to acknowledge that human beings have done a very thorough job in this regard. By preventing the revelation of the Presence of God they have not hurt God, they have simply hurt themselves. This fact does not seem to have yet penetrated very deeply into the consciousness of mankind. Usually the human attitude seems to be that somehow or other God is trying to put something over on human beings, and they play hard to get. How foolish. They simply hurt themselves and do not change God or the attitude of God one iota.

So when our Master came He found no place of safety, where His presence might be preserved on earth. In fact it was not preserved for more than thirty-three years in toto, and three and a half years insofar as His public ministry was concerned, when His Presence began to become more keenly felt. So it can be seen that His statement with respect to the fact that the Son of man had not where to lay his head on earth was very true—there was no Ark, in any adequate sense at least. He proceeded to build one while He was on earth, but it evidently did not amount to very much.

What is it that provides a place of safety for the Presence of God in this realm of things? We could not build a boat that would be satisfactory for this purpose. We could not build a house which would be satisfactory. But there is of course provision, if human beings were willing to let it be used. There is a Temple, or a Tabernacle, in which the Ark may be: "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" The forms of human beings, properly speaking, compose the Tabernacle on earth and provide within the Tabernacle the essential facilities, including the Holy of Holies in which the Ark may rest, providing thereby a place of safety for God in this realm of things. If God is not evident in this realm of things it is simply because there has not been an Ark for Him.

We have the first evidence of His closeness by reason of the fact that there is life in the world, and by reason of the fact that there is life in our own physical bodies. But is God safe in us? Is God safe in the bodies of human beings? Do the bodies of human beings preserve the Life of God on earth? Or do they rather rapidly squeeze it out? Most human beings want more life. They feel life slipping away from them and they feel their bodies becoming sick or old, and there is less life appearing and so they want life and they try to get more life in various ways. This of course is the reason that many people seek the ministrations of a server, because they feel life slipping away from them and they want to get it back. There is no immediate recognition, of course, that they are slipping away from life; it is not life slipping away from them. They are slipping away from God.

Life is an evidence of the Presence of God. God and His life do not find a place of safety in fallen human beings. Fallen human beings are not dedicated to preserving a place where God can be at this level of things. If they want life, and more life, and life restored to them, it is not with the idea, generally speaking, to increase the manifestation of God on earth. It is to maintain the manifestation of the human ego, and so the very attitude gives no consideration to a place of safety for God. And if there is no place of safety for God on earth there is no place of safety for life on earth, and consequently, insofar as human beings are concerned, life seems to vanish away, simply because they provided no place of safety for it—no Ark, just an empty temple. It is not even really a temple, is it? A broken-down sort of a place.

Human beings are inclined to be interested in archeological discoveries of various sorts. They unearth old temples and are very much interested in their findings. I think that rather indicates the direction of interest which is held by people in general. They are interested in empty temples, old, broken-down temples—of course they like to have them restored if possible. But the Temple is supposed to be a place of safety for God, a place where God may be preserved on earth. If God is not on earth, God's action is not on earth, and the lack of God's action on earth produces the turmoil and the chaos that we find, all because the Son of man hath not where to lay his head—no Ark.

We are concerned with this matter of building an Ark—not a boat, not a basket, not a wooden box. What are we concerned with building? What would the Ark signify? What is it that makes possible the Presence of God in the world of men? We recognize that God is in His heaven. We recognize that God is not on His earth. We also recognize that there is that which, rightly speaking, connects heaven and earth, which connects God and man. We call it pneumaplasm. If the spirit of God is to reach man, to come into this world and have a place of safety from which the Divine expression may shine forth in the world, there must be the connecting substance which we call pneumaplasm. And there are certain forms which take shape in it, revealing the Divine Design.

We recognize responsibility in this matter of the generation of pneumaplasm, the substance for the building of the Ark. The Ark itself has form, very specific form. When Noah received instruction as to the building of the Ark at that time, the dimensions were given and the nature of the structure that was to be made. The same was true with respect to the Ark at the time of the children of Israel, the Ark which was placed in the Tabernacle; it had very definite dimensions and form. So is it true with the Pneumaplasmic Ark which is our specific responsibility, a place of safety for God on earth.

When I say, "Is God safe with you?" I am not referring to anything which might be taken to mean that you would be capable of damaging God. But does He have a place of safety where His Presence is preserved on earth, in you? Or does your action, your attitude, at any time expel God from yourself?—not entirely, of course, or you would not be anymore, but in the sense of refusing to permit a constant dwelling place to be provided for Him. In other words, in you is the atmosphere constantly heavenly? Are you playing a part in preserving life on earth, preserving the evidence of the Presence of God? Or by what you do, what you say, how you think and feel, do you make it so, insofar as you are concerned, that the Son of man has nowhere to lay His head?

Obviously there is a great need in the world for an Ark, for a place where God is safe, so that He may be here on earth and act in relationship to the affairs of men. The affairs of men have come to a desperate pass. There is only one thing that will be able to handle that which is transpiring—namely, God's action. But God cannot act on earth unless He is safe on earth, unless His Presence is preserved on earth and protected on earth so that He may be here. If He is not here, in the sense of having the facilities for His action, He cannot act. Recognizing these things in relationship to ourselves, we see our responsibility for the building of an Ark, the generation of pneumaplasm, which is offered to the Lord so that the correct design may be established in it.

The Tabernacle of God is with men. The Ark has been missing. A long time ago that Ark which the children of Israel had was lost; it vanished away. Of course there are those who have been interested in trying to locate it again, but to what end? That which is portrayed had vanished away, so there was no more purpose to the Ark in its outer form. When our Master came He did not start a search for the old Ark which had been lost. There would have been no sense to it. But He did proceed to build an Ark of the material which was available to Him, of such a nature as would make the essential provision at that time. But again the Ark was lost. We share the privilege of letting it be found in its essential form today, and that essential form is composed of the material which we call pneumaplasm, that which connects God and His world.

It is our responsibility to share in the generation of this pneumaplasm, that it may come forth pure and perfect as God created it to be, a fitting substance for the manifest form of the Ark of God, that which will preserve the Life of God on earth in a manner that permits the Power of God to work on earth, the Glory of the Lord to shine round about. If the Glory is present, if the Life is present, as God designed it to be, Truth is present and Love is present, because there is no true Life without the parents of life, Love and Truth. If love, truth and life are present, God is present, because these compose the evidence of the Presence of God. If God is present He is capable of acting, and the action of God may appear with respect to the affairs of men. No other kind of action will be adequate to the situation, as should finally be dawning upon the consciousness of humanity.
