The Final Step
David Barnes April 26, 2026 Salmon Arm, BC
There is a powerful intensification of spirit moving through the heart, certainly through the One Heart of this One Body that is forming on earth; and certainly through my heart as part of the Heart of the One Body.
Uranda and Martin emphasized so clearly that this Archangelic Body is an actual Living Body—the term is not a metaphor; it's not an analogy; it’s not an allegorical reference. It is not a metaphorical description of a spiritual principle or image. This Christ Body is an actual, living, breathing Body that is coming forth in vibrational substance and in form. Incarnate within it, and stewarding the cycles of growth and development, is an Archangelic Presence, in exactly the same manner as there is an Angel incarnate and coming forth through each of our own human forms. The focalization of that Archangelic Presence is drawing together the cells and the organs, the glands and tissues and nerves, the arms and the legs, the head and the eyes and the ears and the mouth, the torso, and the breathing mechanism, and the bloodstream of a Living Spiritual Body. Here is an Archangelic focal point in a Body composed of Angels in human form who know what's going on, to this extent. Here we are, eager and willing to play our parts more clearly and vividly these days, allowing ourselves to be drawn into useful patterns and positions.
With increasing maturity we are here to be those configurations of gland and organ and nerve and tissue in this Living Body, whether it be in the pineal, pituitary, thyroid, or thymus—the heart—or pancreas or adrenal or the gonads. But there's more to a Body than just the endocrine glands—all kinds of other formations that must be in place. Since we know at least this much about it now, then there's something that is awakening in consciousness about the specific nature of the design of this developing Archangelic Body. Myself, I have a great passion to let this vision and action increase, let the details appear in consciousness, and be ready, as far as my outer capacities are concerned, to move with the impulse of the Spirit of the Angel and the Archangel. We may let the specific focalizations of consciousness incarnate in this Archangelic Body more clearly and accurately come into action, to penetrate and guide the affairs of the rest of the body of mankind, and draw those who will move in attunement, in pattern, in this integrating cycle.
Governmental focus points are emerging. You and I know who they are. It is coming through men and women that we know. They're not somewhere else. They are right here now, incarnate on earth. We're a part of them. They're us and many others. But we must let this Governmental Body be drawn more precisely together, so that a powerful integrating force is made available within the body of mankind. Those ones who have the integrity to move with the integrating cycle will do it; and those who don't will move more rapidly into the disintegrating aspects of the cycle.
I want to read some words spoken by Martin Cecil in 1978, words that can infuse our Evening Meditation with increased Presence, bringing pressure through the penetrating power of spiritual expression. Martin says:
“Step by step. The Lord says you can do it step by step. But there comes a time when all the steps have been taken. And I would suggest that we are gathered here to prove that that time is now. We are here to do what is only possible when the final step has been taken. I don't think we've taken that final step yet, but what's to be done can only be done when the final step has been taken. And we don't need a class to accomplish that. We need a radiant session of some kind, where we gather together and experience the creative purpose for which we are all on earth, and for which we are all present in this particular setting right now. This can only be taken by those who are moving from the standpoint of the spiritual expression plane approach directly”—directly.
We are here on earth together to do what is only possible when the Final Step has been taken—the Final Step—an interesting phrase. This that Martin refers to as the Final Step relates to the development of the specific formations of spiritual design in this Archangelic Body, fulfilled in terms of position and function by specific God Beings incarnate, those who know that they are filling their places in the design and are working together to draw forth other formations in the design of the Body. In fact, one might say, to insist that they come forth, to actively draw them forth in the natural cycles of growth and development of the Archangelic Body, which is not just a generalized assembly of Angel-friends, but very specific formations which correspond to the endocrine system in the whole collective Body, those Seven Seals that must be opened by the Lamb, the Archangel in spiritual expression through specific Angels, human beings who are aspects of the differentiation of the Spirit and the Body and the Consciousness of the Lords of Creation.
If this doesn't happen, and if those men and women, me and you, do not allow ourselves to adeqately be brought together to do this work, commissioned by the Archangel Himself, then the Final Step simply will not be taken. And this specific design that Martin referenced is something that we are all very familiar with—at least in its initial descriptions—and we have read about it, talked about it, discussed it, been taught about it, and experienced it to some extent over many years. But the crunch is on; time is getting short and pressure is on the men and women who are playing a part in the development of what Uranda called, way back, the Temple of Light, and what Uranda long, long ago called Emissaries of Divine Light. You know, the very first writing recorded in the index of the record of Uranda’s teaching and services, going back to 1932, the title of the very first one recorded is “Emissaries of Divine Light—The Meaning of Membership”. And that was well before Emissaries of Divine Light was incorporated as a Church in 1940. And of course, in the early 1930’s he began to speak about the Temple of Love, the Temple of Light, and the Temple of Life, all related to the three planes of this outer world, and the design formations of the incarnate God Beings who compose and are responsible for the ongoing creation of this outer world, and who must incarnate cycle after cycle as the Plan of God unfolds. Always, there are enough Angels to do the job required in each generation, if the human beings involved let it happen.
Uranda said this in 1943, “The plan of God will be fulfilled.” Let me repeat: “The plan of God will be fulfilled, either through those of us who have heard the call and seen the vision, or through others who will be raised up during the great tribulation that will come should we fail in moving in the easy way which the Lord has provided, in the extraordinary privileges granted to us. Let us let that which is now established come into fruition, that still greater tribulation need not be than now shall be.” It is quite obvious that mankind approaches the gates of tribulation. It is either the gates of tribulation or the Gates of Eden and the Gates of Praise! But the Plan of God will be fulfilled, either through those of us who have heard the call and seen the vision; or through those who will be raised up in the midst of the great tribulation that is coming, tribulation greater, much greater, far greater than is going to come upon mankind anyway, because of human failures over long ages.
At the time when Emissaries of Divine Light was incorporated as a Church in 1940, Uranda wrote this:
“Let it be realized by all the faithful ones that the Church of the Emissaries Of Divine Light is the Church not built with hands; but is the Temple of the Living God, and the Lord is in His Temple. “Let all the earth Rejoice before Him.” Too many people think of a building of brick or stone when they hear the word “church”. Of such churches there are already more than enough. The Church Body of the Emissaries of Divine Light is composed of many churches, for each earnest one who truly harmonizes in the Church Body is, in his outer manifestation, a Church or Temple. Yes, you are the Temple, and you are the Church, individually. “The Lord is in His Holy Temple, let all the earth Rejoice before Him.
“As you let yourself be established as a Church of the Emissaries of Divine Light, realizing that your own Lord within you is the Minister in your Church, you will begin to let the service of the Lord manifest through you in accomplishment of that for which you, the Church, have been made manifest. Blessing you in the Holy Name of the LORD of Lords, Whose Minister I AM, I welcome you to the harmonization of the Church Body that you may be a true Emissary in Blessing to your Brother Man, and in Glorifying the Lord our God, and I AM Uranda”
Interesting. We remember that the Plan of God will be fulfilled either through those of us who have heard the call and seen the vision, or some other way in the cycles of tribulation that are coming upon the world relatively soon now. And again, here Martin said in that same time period, 1978: “It's time to get on with the job.” [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/we-need-to-get-on-with-job.html] We've had quite a number of years after Martin left us, plenty of time to “get on with the job.” And we have been getting on with it, but there is much more needed. Since Martin left the job to us, about 28 years of this cycle was spent with disseminating gross misunderstanding, scattering abroad, and producing various odious designs. But all the way through, there has been a focus of integration present and operative, internal to the individual and to the collective, and to some degree in outer action in spiritual expression. But we now need to consider the design of the Archangelic Body very carefully, and be keenly interested and ready and available to play our parts as members of this living formation called the Christ Body, incarnate within which are what was described long ago in the Book of Revelation as the “Four Beasts” or the “Four Living Creatures”—in other words, specific human beings who provide the four primary focal points that must be present, coordinated by spirit, and functioning together in this outer world, representing the Four Forces at work in the building of this Archangelic Body.
And then there was named, in symbolic terms, other configurations of Angels in the manifest design of the Body: “the throne set in heaven”; “ the four-and-twenty elders around about the throne”; “the seven spirits before the throne”; and “the Lamb as it had been slain.” And many more specific formations were described. We may remember that our Master sent out “the seventy”. And Uranda referenced a “Council of Seventy” ministers that must at some point come into formation; and he also spoke of those who would come, “company upon company” to play their parts. Both Uranda and Martin emphasized many times that in order to have a Divine Control Pattern established it would require 144,000 men and women perfectly centered, coordinated and functioning in the Archangelic Body on earth. An understanding of the reality of that very specific detail in manifest focalization has to open up in consciousness and in form, before too long among those of us who have “heard the call and seen the vision.” Or, if we fail to take this Final Step which would allow that essential Control Pattern to be established in the “easy way … by reason of the extraordinary privileges that have been granted to us”, it will have to come through those who are raised up and drawn together during the coming period of very great tribulation—or not at all, and that is a horrifying thought. These are things that I feel need to be seriously engaged by us, now.
There is something happening right now that relates to these things: a movement that Yugin Pak and David Karchere have allowed, bringing a substantial group of people from Korea to Sunrise Ranch, to blend as much as possible in a consciousness of the oneness of the Archangelic Body with those at Sunrise, and with others in the Colorado area. We enfold it all from here. This is a most wonderful outworking. It represents something essential and magical, perhaps evidence of the possibility of beginning to take this Final Step because mature, elder, leadership focal points are drawing it together with vision, and enfolding it with great care and thanksgiving to the LORD for what is opening in this phase of the creative cycle.
Since Martin died, we had twenty-eight years of confusion that had to pass away, followed by a period of clearing the heaven so that we can move through into a new pattern, a new creative cycle of water, air, earth and fire, with the Four Forces beginning to be re-focalized. A new cycle is unfolding and it suggests what's possible in the months and years right ahead of us, compelling us to rapidly step into the place where the Plan of God can be well focalized, synchronized and coordinated. As that happens, we recognize the leadership that each one of us can provide in an expanded Focal Body that must be allowed to come together, as we commune together, work together, and release the governmental forces moving through the Divine Design into the whole.
Some very specific things are addressed here. Not just a generalized pattern of attunement or obedience to the command to love one another. We're being called as Angels incarnate to go to work and let these new patterns emerge in this period where we can prove ready to take the Final Step in this cycle of restoration we are in. Here we are with this glorious opportunity to let the Plan of God come into form in greater measure; and let our meditations and actions bring us to the point where this Step is taken, so that the Plan is governed by specific focalizations in this Body of Angels, men and women who are obedient to the Master’s commandment “… love one another; as I have loved you.”
Those five words are usually forgotten: “… as I have loved you.” And how did He love us? He loved us in Truth as Angels in His Archangelic Body, as Friends who do whatsoever He commands of the members of His Body on earth—in every part of the restoration cycle where we are incarnate and in action. Here we are now! “Everything necessary to the outworking of the perfect plan is already provided in every detail”—right in this cycle. Here we are now! What's necessary and provided are the men and the women who love the LORD and in that, love the design of His Body; love who He sends into the world to do the job. He sent you and me into the world. Therefore, if we love Him, we love the ones He sends.
In a service in 1974, Martin spoke of the “delaying action” brought to bear by spirit, where the movement that allows the Final Step to be taken, this pattern of the finishing of things, is being held in abeyance by spirit, because we who have been called have not been adequately in place. As Martin put it, if spirit really “let it rip”, there would be “no one around to sweep up the dust”—nobody left to sweep up the ashes. So there has been this delaying action by spirit, in order to allow a well-coordinated Body to appear, to give focus to the cycles of integration. When that Body comes into adequate maturity then spirit can allow the fire to fall because there will be a focus of integration in place, a Body that will not be moved out of position or out of polarity, no matter what tribulations come. Then what needs to disintegrate and pass away will do so much more gracefully and rapidly than would be the case. So these greater works have been held in abeyance, to a large degree, by the wisdom of spirit, waiting for us to be in position in a much more specific and detailed way, in order to be an absolutely steady focus of integration while the cycles of disintegration eliminate fallen factors from this whole world.
Here we at least sense the Presence of the Archangel—Michael and his Angels in action, with a large Body holding steady on earth while the cleansing power does its work, casting the “dragon” out of the earth even has Michael and His Angels cast the “dragon” out of heaven with finality after the fall of man, when the Motherland sank—Lemuria and Atlantis. Tribulations are coming. Let there be present those who allow the emergence of this intricate pattern of living design be operative in a precisely developed Archangelic Body, where we will know what's going on and spirit can “let it rip”. And there will be people around to sweep up the dust and the ashes. So, as it was said, “Let's get on with the job.”
It is so good to bring this into consciousness for meditation, and carry forward more deliberately in those ranges that are our individual responsibility within the whole, as we each make this investment, even as the LORD has invested in us, that we may play our parts ever more effectively in the fulfillment of God's Great Plan.
Mysteries of Eternity — Ascending Spiral
Uranda December 16, 1943
As we move in the Ever Ascending Cycles of the Eternal, we relax under the influence of the Holy Spirit so that we may, one and all, be easily led into All Truth. You are well aware of the fact that all creative processes move in cycles; that Eternity itself is symbolized by the circle, which is without beginning and without end, and that from the standpoint of the Divine that which is under the influence of creative processes is never static. The magnitude of the Cosmic Cycle of Creation is beyond the immediate comprehension of the human mind; nevertheless, the human mind can understand that, regardless of the magnitude of the dimensions involved, there is such a Cycle. The Cosmic Cycle is so huge that it includes the fullness of All that Is, and within that Cosmos our Universe constitutes but one of tens of thousands of universes. The Creative Cycle of our Universe is of such magnitude that there is no need, at this time at least, to attempt to grasp the distances and the time elements involved. But within the Creative Cycle of our Universe we have the Creative Cycle of our own Solar System, which relates directly to us and to the world in which we live. In the Creative Cycles of our own Solar System, and particularly of our own world, we find that which we can, under the influence of the Spirit, begin to comprehend and understand.
When we consider the progression of the Creative Cycles of Being, it must be understood that “up and down”, or “lower and higher”, are relative terms. We recognize that the progression of the Creative Cycle is in the nature of an Ascending Spiral rather than in the nature of a fixed circle. If we have an Ascending Spiral, the upper part of which is lost from view in distant infinity, but the lower part of which is directly before our vision, and we run a vertical line from the starting point upward along one edge of the spiral, we will note that movement beginning at the lower end of the spiral and moving along the spiral will, after the first cycle, come to the vertical line, or a point directly above the starting point. As the vision expands and understanding increases, we cease looking at the bottom of the spiral which seems to be a circle only, and we look at the side of the spiral where the ascending vibration of the Creative Cycles becomes evident. The endless nature of Eternity becomes less mysterious.
The Creative Spiral for this world began at the point of the beginning of the creation of this world. This beginning point was selected, not in an arbitrary manner, but with a full recognition of the relationship of all the Cosmic Forces focalized into that given point through the Creative Triangles of the Universe and of the Cosmos as they relate to this Solar System, and as they were focalized with respect to our Sun at the point where creation was to begin. The logical nature of the processes of creation become increasingly evident to you. Remember that everything which is accomplished from a Cosmic standpoint through the Creative Power of God is worked out on the basis of mathematical certainties in relationship to fundamental Principles and Laws, and with a full recognition of the nature and strength of the Cosmic Currents and Forces which are focalized in any given activity. If you remember that God does not do anything on a haphazard basis, or by reason of whim and fancy, but that, rather, all Divine and Spiritual things are worked out with mathematical precision and certainty, you will have removed from your mind one of the greatest causes of confusion with respect to things Divine. It is obvious, then, that human beings must first permit themselves to be coordinated with the basic Laws of Being, and that they must begin to understand those Laws and work with them before they can hope to have any effective expression from the standpoint of Creative Activity.
Let us now return to the starting point of creation as related to this world. The Four Forces have been given symbolical names, which facilitate a comprehension of the four basic forces which manifest through the created forms of this world. From a Cosmic standpoint, the forces utilized were not limited to what we call the Four Forces, and it must be recognized that what we broadly term the Four Forces are sub-divided into innumerable sub-classifications of Divine Activity in and through all created forms on this earth—Water, Air, Earth and Fire. Remember that I specified that the Four Forces, broadly indicated by these symbolical terms, are as they relate to manifestation in or through the created form—and not to the Cosmic Forces which, in their universal nature, may be thought of as preceding, or exterior to, the specified Four Forces, although the Four Forces in manifestation through created form have their origin in Cosmic Forces which are not limited to the nature and function of the Four Forces as we are considering them. This distinction must be borne clearly in mind in order to avoid confusion, and it is illustrated in our first text, Genesis 1:2: “And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” That was the starting point of creation on the First Day. However, it is obvious, in accordance with the distinctions we have just drawn, that the action of the Spirit of God prior to and at the beginning of creation, implies vastly more than the Spirit of God symbolized by “air” as made manifest in and through all the forms of created things on this earth.
The First Force in its segregated form relating to the creation of this earth, is symbolically named Water, and it signifies the specific group of truths or basic Principles and Laws which constituted the scope of Creative Activity as it was to relate to this world, and thereby established the limits of that which was to be. There is vastly more Truth in function and manifestation in the Cosmos than was required in the making of this world. Therefore, the first step of creation, after the Cosmic selection of the starting point, was the selection of the Truths necessary to the fulfillment of the pre-determined Plan for this earth, and then the release of the Spirit or Power of God through those Truths to begin the process of creation, whereupon there was Light.
Part of the work of the first day was the establishment of the nature and limits of the Creative Day which was, according to present time measurements, a period of 25,872 years. The six days of creation covered a period of, roughly, 155,000 years. In other words, the beginning of creation was at a point 310,800 years B.C.
All the Four Forces are always present, but with one only dominant in any given Creative Day, so the Water vibration continued dominant for 25,872 years, whereupon the Air vibration became dominant, followed by the Earth and Fire vibrations, whereupon the sequence begins again, with Water again becoming dominant. This earth, and man, the crowning creation, are the result of the use of the Trinity Pattern, and therefore in the basic cycle of the spiral from the starting point to a point first directly above the starting point, there were three repetitions of the sequences of the Four Forces, or Twelve Creative Days, which completed the first cycle of creation for this world at 388 B.C.—or 310,464 years—which carries us to the point 388 B.C.
Each Creative Day of 25,872 years is divided on the Trinity Pattern into twelve sections, so that the twelve segments of the Creative Day, each being 2,156 years long, relates to the period of time required for the Sun of our Solar System to make one revolution in its orbit around its Central Sun. The successive dominance of the Four Forces in the 2,156 year periods is repeated three times within one Creative Day of 25,872 years. You begin to get a picture of the way in which the Four Forces are combined to produce specific results. The First Creative Day began with a Water vibration—Water was dominant as the beginning point in the 2,156 year cycles. As soon as the first sub-cycle closed, Water continued dominant in the Creative Cycle, with a sub-cycle of Air dominance, and so continued in natural sequence through the First Creative Day. The Second Creative Day began with a dominant Air Vibration and a Water Vibration in the sub-cycle. The firmament is the atmosphere or the air of this earth, which is symbolical of the Spirit of God as manifest in and through created forms. On the Third Creative Day the dry land appears. On the Fourth Creative Day, the light of the sun, moon and stars penetrated to the earth's surface by reason of the clearing of the earth's atmosphere, so we have on the Fourth Creative Day the dominant Fire Vibration.
The Fifth Creative Day returns to Water, and you will note in verse 20 that God said: “Let the waters bring forth abundantly.” The Sixth Creative Day is an Air vibration, and it was in the Sixth Creative Day that animal life was created, with the Crowning Creation of Man, and air is the basic essential for life in the animal kingdom—shut off his supply of air and man dies immediately. The Seventh Creative Day, an Earth vibration, was a day of rest. You see that the concluding Creative Day of the First Cycle would naturally be Fire. It was during the Fire Age of 25,872 years which ended 388 B.C. that Lemuria went down in flames of fire, and 1,000 years after the submersion of Lemuria, Atlantis submerged. In the latter part of this Twelfth Day of Creation, as the First Cycle was drawing to a close, man had returned to a point of consciousness where he began to again be aware of the direction of the Lord, evidenced by Old Testament history. The outstanding symbolism of religious ceremonies during the Old Testament period is sacrifice by Fire. It was a Fire Age, concluding with a Fire vibration in the sub-cycle. It was from the burning fire of the bush that was not consumed that God spoke to Moses. It was in the fire and smoke of Mount Sinai that the Twelve Commandments were given. Sacrifice by fire characterized the whole Old Testament period.
This means that the First Cycle of Creation came to an end in 388 B.C., and for the first time since the beginning of creation the world was back to a point directly above the starting point. The earth and all that is therein had been created. Divine Man had been established in the earth. And then in the beginning of the Twelfth Day of Creation man had fallen, with subsequent cataclysmic changes in the earth which carried man down to what has been called the cave man age, and then for about 5,000 years man progressed to a point where we have the beginning of recorded history, going back to about 5,000 B.C. Man had progressed to a point in the latter part of the Twelfth Day of Creation where it was possible to begin to work out the Plan of Salvation, and the First Sacred School was established at the direction of Melchizedek. However, the Israelites failed to carry through on the opportunities given them, so the beginning of the actual process of making all things new according to the Promise contained in Revelation had to wait until the beginning of the Second Cycle of Creation, or until the world had returned on the spiral to a point directly above the starting point of creation.
As soon as this Thirteenth Day of Creation was well started, Jesus came. As the world had returned to the vertical line on the Ascending Spiral for the first time since the beginning of creation at 388 B.C., we begin to recognize the Cosmic reasons back of the coming of Jesus into the world at the time that He did come. The Cosmic Forces were again for the first time focalized in a manner identical to those which permitted the beginning of the creation of the world, and through the use of those Forces, and the manifestation of Jesus, the beginning of the recreation or restoration of the world could best take place.
This Thirteenth Creative Day in which we now live is, in the natural sequence, seen to be a Water Vibration—just as was the First Day of Creation. The first sub-cycle of this Creative Day was also Water. We note that Jesus began His Ministry by the changing of water to wine. Many of His miracles related to water. Water baptism was instituted as a symbol of the cleansing of the individual by the action of Truth under the influence of the Spirit of God. Jesus obviously recognized that in this First Creative Day of the Second Cycle, He was dealing with a Water vibration, both in the dominant cycle and in the sub-cycle.
This First Day of Creation in the new cycle, which is the Thirteenth Day of Creation from the beginning of creation for this world, is naturally a period of 25,872 years dating from 388 B.C., but the sub-cycle beginning 388 B.C. on the dominant Water vibration ended 2,156 years later, or in 1768 A.D. We see that 1768 A.D. would mark the beginning of the second sub-cycle in this Creative Day, and that it would be under a dominant Air vibration. We have at the present time a dominant Water vibration in the Creative Day, and a dominant Air vibration in the sub-cycle in which we now live. By the beginning of the 20th century the influence of the dominant Air vibration of the sub-cycle began to be evident. We are living in an Air Age insofar as the sub-cycle is concerned.
It is through this Air Age that the speeding up process which is shortening the days, and is intensifying the destruction of evil by evil, has taken place and is taking place in accordance with prophecy. Now man is being given his final opportunity to return to God. In this First Creative Day of the new cycle, God is beginning to make all things new. Through the progression upward on the creative spiral, the vibrations in which the world is functioning are becoming more and more rarefied, and man will have to let go of evil and turn to God in order to live in these higher vibrational conditions. If man as a whole were to refuse to respond and be recreated and reborn in this period, he would in a comparatively short time destroy himself from the face of the earth. It is not anticipated that this will be the case, but if this should happen, we are still in the First Day of Creation of the new cycle, and God would be in position to carry on creative processes and create man on a higher vibration in this cycle, so as to remove any possibility of a repetition of the fall.
It is anticipated that there will be those who carry through into the New Age State of Being, but because we are in a cycle that is on a higher plane of vibration directly above the point of the beginning of creation, the intensified vibrations will make it impossible for evil to again manifest, no matter which alternative of the outworking Plan must be utilized. If the faithful ones carry through into the fullness of this New Age vibration, they will populate the earth made new. If such a thing as the failure of all human beings were to take place, the Cosmic vibrations are such that God could re-create Divine Man and begin again on the higher plane of the present cycle.
In the original creation God made every provision necessary for Divine Man, but He recognized that on the plane of vibration then manifest the fall of man was possible. God warned against self-activity—it was not God's Plan that man should fall—but it was necessary for the beginning of the creation of the world to take place under the focalization of the Cosmic Forces that were utilized. Now, through progression along the Spiral of the Creative Cycles, we are reaching a point where evil cannot continue indefinitely to exist, and once the change is accomplished, the vibrational state of being will be such that a repetition of the fall will be impossible.
This gives a deeper understanding of the Cosmic Principles and Forces that are in operation in the world and in our lives individually. To the degree that we recognize the Cosmic significance of the time in which we live, and to the degree that we, individually and collectively, coordinate with these Laws, Principles and Forces, we will be doing our part in accomplishing the Greater Works which are required for the recreation by which God is making all things new, that the New Earth State may be hastened, and that as many as possible of the children of men may carry through this time of turmoil into the New Age. As the world experiences crucifixion, and then passes through the period of the darkness of the tomb, it is for every faithful one to remain attuned to the Cosmic Currents of Life by which the Victory over the tomb may manifest for the world, in accordance with the Way in which our Great Master led.
Therefore, as the earnest ones, recognizing the basic Principles regulating the operation of the Four Forces in and through this world, begin to let these same Four Forces become the dominant influences in their individual lives, we find that the scope of function becomes the Whole of Truth, the power of function becomes the release of the Unlimited Spirit of God, the foundation of function becomes in all things the Rock of Reality, and the manifestation of function becomes the expression of Divine Love that is as firm and undeviating in the face of opposition as it is gentle in the consideration of True Response.

Church Of Emissaries Of Divine Light
Uranda February 10, 1940
Let it be realized by all the faithful ones that the Church of the Emissaries Of Divine Light is the Church not built with hands; but is the Temple of the Living God, and the Lord is in His Temple. “Let all the earth Rejoice before Him.” Too many people think of a building of brick or stone when they hear the word “church”. Of such churches there are already more than enough.
The Church Body of the Emissaries of Divine Light is composed of many churches, for each earnest one who truly harmonizes in the Church Body is, in his outer manifestation, a Church or Temple. Yes, you are the Temple, and you are the Church, individually. “The Lord is in His Holy Temple, let all the earth Rejoice before Him.”
As you let yourself be established as a Church of the Emissaries of Divine Light, realizing that your own Lord within you is the Minister in your Church, you will begin to let the service of the Lord manifest through you in accomplishment of that for which you, the Church, have been made manifest.
Blessing you in the Holy Name of the LORD of Lords, Whose Minister I AM, I welcome you to the harmonization of the Church Body that you may be a true Emissary in Blessing to your Brother Man, and in Glorifying the Lord our God, and I AM Uranda
The Plan of God
Uranda June 30, 1943
The Plan of God will be fulfilled, either through those of us who have heard the call and seen the vision, or through others who shall be raised up in great tribulation should we fail in the easy way which the Lord has provided in the extraordinary privileges granted unto us. Let us let that which now is established come unto fruition, that still greater tribulation need not be than now shall be.

Emissaries
Martin Cecil November 10, 1968 p.m.
We were talking about Emissaries of Divine Light this morning, recognizing something of the creative nature of what is described by the words Divine Light, the radiation of True Cause. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/divine-light.html] This radiation is the reality back of the whole cosmic realm of effects, but there is need that it should be brought to focus in expression in the area of the world in which we live. This requires that there be emissaries to bring it. An emissary is a representative of one who is greater. As that representative, he must carry the necessary credentials. These credentials may be described by the use of the words Divine Light.
Unless there are those who are sent as emissaries to bring Creative Cause into expression at the level of human responsibility there is no means by which the affairs of men can be changed so that order might come out of chaos. We see in the words emissaries of divine light a vast significance, not because it may apply to us, but because of its inherent meaning. A question might arise as to whether it does apply to us. The fact of the matter is that all human beings should be emissaries of divine light, and that certainly is not saying the same thing as might be said by some religious organization—all human beings should be Roman Catholics, for instance. No, it is a state of being rightly identified, so that what is expressed in living on earth is of a creative nature, creative from the standpoint of what is true, the reality of Divine Cause. When that is so, the effects appear automatically; they don't have to be struggled with.
This morning, when we were considering this matter, utilizing the nature of light to illustrate some points, there were some who were apparently not following too easily. One of the reasons why there is difficulty in this regard sometimes is this matter of trying too hard. One may have an awareness of something without necessarily knowing all about it. In fact this is true of most things of which we have an awareness, isn't it? We know life, for instance. We have an awareness of the fact of being alive, but I don't think anyone would be inclined to say that he knows all about it. So often the endeavor is to try to intellectually circumscribe whatever it is that is being considered, but if it is something that is of real value and meaning the intellect very quickly gets lost. There can be intellectual circumscription of many things that don't amount to much, but when we move into the realm of real things, meaningful things, the intellect is lost. So it is useless to try to circumscribe such things with the intellect; it can't be done. Nevertheless we can have a very keen awareness. Some people have a fairly keen awareness of being alive. Others are not so thoroughly convinced. While intellectual comprehension of things may add something to the experience of being alive, the experience of being alive is not dependent upon what the intellect knows or doesn't know.
We were noting this morning something with respect to the spectrum of consciousness. This spectrum, when it is properly balanced, permits the radiation of what is symbolized by white light. White light is composed of the colors of its spectrum. There is a spectrum of consciousness. A good deal of the consciousness of the physical body is what is called subconscious. The mind, if we were to divide it into levels, might be six-sevenths below the one-seventh of self-consciousness. Yet there must be a balanced experience in relationship to the whole spectrum.
So the awareness that we have is not based merely in our ability to intellectually circumscribe something. We have spoken of feeling, sensing. We have a consciousness of being alive. We have a consciousness of love, to whatever extent. We can't intellectually circumscribe love. We have a consciousness of the reality of cosmic design and the control that operates in that design. We were taking note recently of what is called gravity. We have an awareness of gravity. We do not have to be educated particularly, in the ordinary sense at least, to have an awareness of gravity. In order to describe the way it works we might have to be educated, so that we understood mathematical symbols, but we get along all right in our daily operations in relationship to gravity whether we have intellectually circumscribed it or not, and it would be impossible to circumscribe it anyway. Nobody knows what gravity is, no matter how learned.
There is much of which we are aware without intellectually circumscribing it. If we realize this, then we don't keep blocking ourselves by trying to intellectually circumscribe everything, and perhaps there were some who were trying to do that this morning. All one is doing in such case is trying to fit it into the thimble of one's present intellectual capacity. It doesn't fit, and then the individual is all upset because it doesn't fit. Well why try to fit it in in the first place? It's not going to fit anyway, even if your intellect is the size of a mug. There should be the experience of the consciousness of being Divine in this realm of things. This is the result of the working of the Law, when the Law is allowed to work.
There is rather a beautiful poetic portrayal of some of these principles in the Book of Revelation. You may remember that there was a “woman clothed with the sun”, and the “moon under her feet”, and a “crown of twelve stars” on her head. We were speaking this morning of the working of the Law. The radiation of True Cause engenders response, so that a physical form is built; your body, for instance. This body which is so put together, drawn together, has a very definite design, a design which reflects what is present in the nature of the Cause which produced it. Radiation, response, then attraction. The physical body which is taking form is drawn toward the Cause which engenders the form, that there might be union, that the two might be one. It is in the union of the radiation of True Cause, or in other terms the Spirit of God, and the form which has been brought forth by that radiation that the development of the consciousness of the body occurs. If it is allowed to continue without interruption there will be the manifestation of what is portrayed by the picture of the woman clothed with the sun, the white light—the union between the physical form, the woman, and the radiation of Cause, which is described by the sun here, white light. Here we have the fulfilment of the Law.
The moon is under her feet; the realm of effects is below. Identification is with Cause; identification is with Divine Being, not with the realm of effects. The moon is under the feet. And of course she wears the crown of authority. Also she was, according to the portrayal, travailing to bring forth a child, the child which turned out to be a man child, the positive expression of the radiation of True Cause at the level where the woman is, in the realm where the creation is required, the realm where order needs to be brought out of chaos. Of course there was an additional character in this drama, the great red dragon, just waiting to devour the child. And here we have this red end of the spectrum again. This relates to this incomplete consciousness of man, incomplete in the sense that human beings do not have a consciousness of Divine Being. Their extent of self-consciousness is extremely limited. They have merely an awareness of a very peculiar character at the red end of the spectrum. And of course, as long as identification is with this incomplete state there is no possibility of the experience of the true positive expression of Divine consciousness, the consciousness in man of being Divine. Human beings have insisted upon maintaining their state of consciousness, their state of identity, in the limited condition, assuming that all that was necessary was to have a consciousness limited to the red end of the spectrum, so to speak. So the blue end was absent.
If you have a consciousness that is colored red, everything you look at is going to be colored red. And this is what has occurred. Human beings do not see things in their true colors. They can't, as long as there is not a balance in the spectrum of their consciousness. However, it is necessary somewhere along the way for a person to come to realize that he does see things red, that he does see things distorted. As long as he imagines that he sees things as they are he is in the dark and doesn't know it, and as it is truly said, the darkness comprehends not the light. He doesn't realize that light is necessary, that what is necessary is the balancing colors, so that there might be white light. When the light is white there is a clear view of what is present in the realm of effects. Not only is there a clear view in such case but white is the creative radiation of True Cause.
As we noted this morning, if there is a distorted state, if the creative radiation is limited to the red end of the spectrum, the effects will be accordingly, and we have a world revealing those effects. There is nothing that human beings can do to improve on the effects as long as the creative radiation remains what it is: an unbalanced, distorted, discolored state of consciousness. There is very little awareness on the part of human beings of the responsibility which they carry from the standpoint of what is present in their consciousness. It is quite obvious, when one stops to look at it, that the world which man has made has been made on the basis of what has been present in human consciousness. If that world is chaotic, if it is a disorderly place—everyone is much concerned about the lack of what they call law and order—then it is that way because of the disorderly state of human consciousness. The creative effect in the realm for which man is responsible in the Divine scheme of things is produced by whatever radiation occurs through human consciousness. Of course I suppose it could be said that man has some sort of an idea about this because he thinks, for instance, that he can change his consciousness by more education. Well all he can do is to change his consciousness from being that of an uneducated person to that of an educated person. But it doesn't change the consciousness from the human state to the Divine State; and unless there is the experience of the consciousness of being Divine because there is a balance in the spectrum of consciousness, what is radiated by reason of that consciousness will not produce orderly effects. It doesn't matter what anyone does. We can see that, because human beings have been trying desperately to bring order out of chaos, and it appears that, politically speaking, everybody is running out of ideas. Nobody knows what to do. Well that's wonderful, because there isn't anything that can be done, at least to solve the problem. Of course we can compound the confusion.
There must be emergence into the consciousness of being Divine, and this requires the woman clothed with the sun. As long as we are identified with the red end of the spectrum then we're keeping the great red dragon healthy, and of course on that basis there is a creative process. You will recall that, following along in this particular passage from which I have quoted, mostly in my own words, there was a beast which came out of the sea, and, according to the description, it looked very much like the great red dragon. The great red dragon had seven heads and ten horns, and so did the beast. Well, of course, whatever the cause is, so will the effect be—a reproduction. All we have to do is look around in the world with our distorted outlook and see a reflection of what is present in the consciousness of human beings who have lost the awareness of being Divine. And it's not just everybody else. We have all shared in it.
How many of you really have a consciousness of being Divine? Perhaps a beginning recognition that this should be the truth of the matter. But how much have you accepted it as true? “Well it is a nice goal, a nice aspiration. We hope we will get there someday, but the fact of the matter is that I am human.” This is more or less the attitude that human beings take, generally speaking. Probably they have no recognition of the possibility of a consciousness of being Divine. But this is also the attitude that those who are associated with the ministry of Emissaries of Divine Light sometimes take. They just don't believe it.
“A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet”—this dead state underfoot, certainly not controlling. There is no need to maintain identity with it. If we do so, that is our fault. But there can be a yielding to the radiation of True Cause; not trying to understand it, but merely being willing to experience it, so that the woman may be clothed with the sun. When she is clothed with the sun, she has a crown upon her head; she has the credentials. There is a picture of Emissaries of Divine Light, isn't it?—not a human organization of some kind incorporated in the province of British Columbia, but the reality of the thing, whatever it is. It is this to which we give ourselves if we are honest in such awareness as we have of the things of God. We stop maintaining this state which not only produces chaotic effects but causes us to see things in a distorted manner. The distortion of the radiation is reflected back to us, and that is what we see. That is not the real thing at all. We can only begin to see the real thing as we find a balance of consciousness throughout the whole spectrum; then there is white light, the true creative radiance of the Christ, the Spirit of the Son of God. It is by this radiation that the Divine task is fulfilled.
We can see more clearly than ever that it is not by physical might—pushing and pulling in the realm of effects—nor by the power of the intellect in the realm of effects, that the job gets done, but by the Spirit of the Son of God, by the creative radiance which appears in action in the realm where it is needed, when the Law is allowed to work. The radiation of True Cause brings back the physical form, which was created by that radiation, into union with itself. Radiation, response, attraction, union, then unified radiation, which is the radiation which occurs by reason of a consciousness of being Divine. That consciousness of being Divine is the mind that was in Christ Jesus. Obviously He had a consciousness of being Divine. Why should we reject the idea? That consciousness of being Divine permits a true view of the realm of effects for which we carry responsibility.
When as emissaries of divine light we can see the world, it will be a very different place to the world we think we see now. Now you can look at that in two ways: either you see the world as it really is, and that is quite all right, or the radiation which is proceeding from your consciousness of being Divine makes it right, creates all things new. It doesn't really matter, does it, as long as it is quite all right. We don't have to circumscribe it with the intellect, but be willing to accept an increased awareness, consciousness, of being Divine. In order to do this we have to permit our attention to move away from the red end of the spectrum toward the blue end of the spectrum, to establish a balance. Now human beings who have recognized something of this necessity have all too often imagined that all of the red end of the spectrum was bad and all of the blue end of the spectrum was good. Well that's a silly judgment! There is nothing wrong with any of the colors. But a person who begins to see the distortion produced by being at the red end of the spectrum—in other words, being centered, concentrated, in material things—then supposes that he has to eschew material things altogether, cut them off, throw them away, and depart to the opposite direction, the blue end of the spectrum, which is spiritual isolation, I suppose.
But we need a balance in the spectrum. It is true that we see things from the standpoint of the higher, and the control comes from the higher, but this does not mean that what is lower has any less meaning or value. The red end of the spectrum relates to the mineral kingdom. There is nothing wrong with the mineral kingdom that I know of. One can move upward through various kingdoms, and I suppose this could be called moving out of the kingdoms of earth to the Kingdom of Heaven. But we don't leave the earth behind. It is by reason of the fact that Creative Cause is present that, insofar as our physical bodies are concerned, we have a chance. The Law works: radiation, response, attraction, union. The mineral kingdom needs some means of resurrection. We have minerals in our physical bodies. The mineral kingdom is represented in our physical bodies, also the kingdom of vegetation, the animal kingdom, and the human kingdom. We won't lump that in with the animals, as many people do. There is a distinction here. What have we got? Mineral, vegetable, animal—three—and man, four. That, it seems to me, is the balance point of seven, isn't it? We have three below and three above, and the Kingdom of Man is in the middle, at the balance point. As we noted, this is green in the spectrum, the symbol of life.
We are here to bring the world back to God, we say, but really what is that? Bringing God into the world, isn't it? so that there is creative action at the level where it is needed. Then there can be response to that creative radiation. If man is in place, letting that be taken care of, then the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms will be taken care of. So where there is true radiation there is response, attraction and union. The world is brought back to God. But it can't be brought back to God unless man is in his place, unless there is the experience of a balance in consciousness on the part of man; because man provides this focus point, representing Divine Light, and also containing within his physical form the levels of creation for which he is responsible. He is an emissary of divine light sent into the world, and as an emissary of divine light, creative radiance is at work, to which there is response, because, apart from man himself, the response at the other levels—animal, vegetable, mineral—is automatic; there is no choice in the matter. So when the creative radiation is there, the world is restored; no problem.
We recognize the responsibility of letting this creative radiation be present, of sharing in the process by which a balance comes in our own consciousness, so that there may be a consciousness of Divine Being, or of being Divine. That is the balanced state, and this we are privileged to share to the extent that it is true that we are Emissaries of Divine Light. I think, in this respect, we need to be careful that we don't take our name in vain.
Divine Light
Martin Cecil November 10, 1968 a.m.
“Emissaries of Divine Light” is the name given to our ministry. Some have objected to this name, imagining that it should be something different. In other words, to some human minds at least, the name wasn't acceptable. If the human mind could think of a name that was acceptable it is unlikely that that name would be true to the truth. As we have moved, together with many others, in the unfolding cycles of experiences related to this ministry I think the accuracy and the perfection of the name begins to become increasingly apparent.
Emissaries of Divine Light. The radiation describable by the word light indicates the True Nature of Creative Cause. Light is a word also used to describe an electromagnetic phenomenon, but it is a word that is used to describe something even less tangible. If we say that a person saw the light, we don't think of the electromagnetic phenomenon but some sort of increased understanding, awareness. In the electromagnetic sense the total radiation is far more than what is called light, and yet the word “light” may be used to describe the whole range of that electromagnetic spectrum. For instance, what radiates from the sun of our solar system is far more than visible light. There is a total radiation which proceeds from the sun, and we may describe this total radiation by using the word “light,” if we recognize that it includes far more than visible light.
This which radiates from the sun is not the light of which we speak when we use the words emissaries of divine light. And yet it is, in the realm of effects, an illustration of what it is we refer to. There have been in times past those people who it is supposed worshipped the sun of our solar system as God. Of course this may just be a concept of present-day human beings, on the basis of their limited hindsight. In other words the people concerned may have recognized simply that the sun provides a rather striking symbol, striking portrayal, of the reality of God, or True Cause; for there is that which shines forth from True Cause and is back of the reason for the whole cosmic scheme of things, which of course includes far more than is visible to the physical eye.
The radiation of this Cause, the radiation from God, is invisible; it cannot be somehow isolated and examined directly. We have noted that what is in the realm of Cause cannot be observed. All that can be observed is in the realm of effects. Of course examining the realm of effects, we have some evidence of the nature of Cause and so we have some awareness of Cause indirectly. Because it is an indirect awareness there have been those who, most illogically, have said that Cause doesn't exist, God doesn't exist—God doesn't exist because we cannot examine Him. If we could examine God it would place us on rather a high pinnacle, wouldn't it? What we can examine is contained in the realm of effects. The Creative Cause of all that appears in the realm of effects may be describable by the word light. If this word is used to describe the creative expression of True Cause, we should recognize that the reference is not merely to a small section of the electromagnetic spectrum.
So when we use the word “light” in the name Emissaries of Divine Light, we are referring to the radiation, the creative radiation, of True Cause. This creative radiation may be described by other words, but by none so beautifully and briefly and accurately, and really acceptably, as the word “light.” The word Christ could be used, the only begotten Son of God, but I think there would be even more human mind objection to this terminology.
We use the adjective Divine to describe the Light, because we make a distinction between visible light and this light. This radiation from True Cause is Divine Light. Our relatedness to this Divine Light is as emissaries of it. The Divine Light, which may be said to be a cosmic phenomenon in the realm of Cause, must be translated, brought to bear, made active and operative, at this particular level on the surface of the planet where we dwell.
What more accurate description of those who let themselves be engaged in this undertaking could be given than that of emissaries of divine light? We need to see these things clearly, because we are charged with the conscious expression of what is meant by those words: to bring Divine Light, the creative radiation of True Cosmic Cause, to bear at the level where further creation needs to take place on the surface of this planet. This further creation which needs to take place we may describe by the word “re-creation” at the moment, because there is something obviously that went wrong. Something needs to be set right before the true continuation of the creative process relating to this planet may transpire. Now you may think you know these things, but I doubt it. You likely have a concept about them, and you have heard words describing them, but how much do you know? How much do you have the actual experience of the reality? To what extent are you an emissary of divine light?
The creative radiation from True Cause we have called the Spirit of God. Where it comes to focus and is given specific expression this creative radiation produces effects. The effects in toto we describe as the Cosmos. We can, however, bring it down to a realm of greater detail relating to this earth, or relating to ourselves on the surface of this earth. We are aware of certain effects. The effect that is likely to be closest to us is our own physical form. Here is the evidence of a Creative Cause. What that Creative Cause is has been rather a mystery to human beings, even though some may have described it by the word God. Others may attribute the cause entirely to factors observable in the realm of effects. By the examination of the realm of effects various things have been discovered. There is an awareness of genes, for instance, and various other chemical substances and combinations which supposedly relate to the formation of the individual physical body. Of course obviously there is such a relationship, but we haven't quite got back as far as Cause. The process by which the chemicals themselves exist begins to lead into the realm of invisible Creative Cause.
Back of that which takes form is Creative Cause. Back of your physical form is the radiation which we designate by the word “light.” This creative radiation is of the nature of the Cause from which it originates. Contained within the Cause from which it originates, namely God, are all the essences of whatever may have appeared in the whole Cosmos, and whatever may appear in the future. There is nothing that can appear in the realm of effects that is not already present in God, or in the reality of True Cause. It obviously doesn't all appear with a great big bang. If it did, that would be it, presumably. There wouldn't be anything else, would there? It is beyond the comprehension of the human mind how there could be something unlimited, without limit as to scope; but because this is so, it takes an unlimited period of time—you can put it that way—for it all to appear. However in essence it is already present. It is present in the point of origination, and it proceeds from that point of origination through this radiation of which I have been speaking.
This radiation has an effect: positive radiation, negative response. The negative response of which you are most keenly aware is the formation of your own physical body. This is the evidence of the working of the Law—negative response to positive radiation. And how does it go? Response, attraction, union, unified radiation. In other words a new expression of radiation occurs at the level where the union has taken place. If it all works as it should the physical form is drawn into union with the light which produced it in the first place, and that union permits further radiation to transpire at the level of the physical form—in other words at the level for which this physical form was created to carry Divine responsibility. We sometimes speak of this as the world, all that is present upon the surface of this planet.
Now what is reproduced in this regard in the way of radiation is directly related to the radiation which produced the form in the first place. This extended radiation we speak of as the human mind. We speak of the mind as the consciousness of the physical body. How does that consciousness appear? Where did it come from? The physical substance of which the body is composed did not have it before it was in the body. This consciousness of the physical form is the effect of the unified radiation consequent upon the prior fulfilment of the Law. In other words, when the physical form is attracted to the positive radiation which produces it and has union with that positive radiation, there is a new radiation at the level of the physical form, and that new radiation is what is called the “mind”, or the “consciousness” of the physical form. This new radiation might be described as a reflection of the original radiation which produced the form. It has no substance or being of its own. It is simply the effect of the working of the Law.
The consciousness of the body includes various levels, just as white light, for instance, includes the colors of the spectrum. If there is to be white light this indicates that there is a balanced blending of all the colors of the spectrum present. If for some reason some of the colors were left out, or only partially there, there would not be white light. If in the pattern of the human form some of these reflected levels of consciousness are missing, or inadequately present, the consciousness will not be that of Divine Being, and this obviously has been the case insofar as human experience is concerned. Your self-consciousness has not been the consciousness of Divine Being, or the consciousness of the white light. It has been the consciousness of something that was off color. Why? Because some of the reflection of the creative radiation from True Cause was not appearing.
The consciousness of Divine Being cannot be restored until the reflection of the whole spectrum of what we call the mind is present. One may have an increased scope of the various colors in that spectrum within the range of one's experience, but until it reaches the point where there is the right balance there cannot be the experience of the white light, or the actual experience of Divine Being. We may become aware of the fact of Divine Being, of what our experience should be, and there are those who have said, “I know who I am.” Well in that sense yes, perhaps, but not really—not really, until the whole spectrum is there, the blending takes place and the white light appears. Then there is a consciousness of Divine Being at the level where the new creation is to appear, where the unified radiation is to extend into what we call the world.
Now the world is the way it is because the radiation which has been extending through the consciousness of the physical bodies of human beings has been an incomplete spectrum. It is still creative radiation but not of the white light. Presumably the higher levels of consciousness have been the ones that have been mostly lacking, so that we could say, using the visible light as a symbol, that the experience of the spectrum of that light has been mostly at the red end. The blue end of the spectrum has been largely missing. It is interesting how the symbol of the color red has been used in relationship to the activities of human beings, particularly where there is the evidence of an intensification of self-activity. You may “see red”, or we have “the reds,” all relating to a concentration at the lower end of this spectrum, so that there is an unbalanced creative radiation and the effects appear accordingly.
The purpose of Emissaries of Divine Light is to reestablish, reintroduce, the creative radiation which includes the whole spectrum in balance; white light, in other words. And when that creative radiation is allowed to find expression, then the effects will appear accordingly, because light in this sense is the means of creative action. “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” That is absolutely and exactly true. Of course if a person is fiddling around in the realm of effects and imagining that all things stem from this realm, he can't see the light; he is in the dark, and the darkness comprehendeth not the light.
The creative process is based in the working of the Law. If there is to be a restoration of the balanced reflection of the creative Divine Light, it will appear as there is response at the levels where the reflection needs to appear. In the unfolding process which naturally occurs in the development of a child, the necessary creative radiation is present, the light shines. But the light is invisible until it is reflected. Gradually there is an increased reflection appearing, as the development takes place in the physical form. The specific focus points for the reflection relate to the endocrine system. We speak of the Seven Seals. As the physical body develops, the specific points in this regard respond naturally to the creative light of which they are the effect, because the Seven Levels of Divine Consciousness are contained in Creative Cause. But as the consciousness begins to appear, then of course the trouble may start, because as yet the reflection is not complete and therefore there is initially an inadequate experience of true self-consciousness. The individual has not reached the point where there could be a balance of the reflected spectrum, and so there is an assumption of identity relating to the inadequate self-consciousness.
This state of imbalance has been present for so long in human beings that they are encouraged to imagine that this is what it should be. Consequently continued response, which would allow the effects to appear, ceases and human beings get stuck at the lower end of the spectrum. They say of themselves, “This is what I am.” Well it is all that they have experienced of what they are perhaps, but it is a very unbalanced thing, a very inadequate thing. However, even the production of this should give clear-cut evidence of the presence of the creative radiation which, if responded to without making any assumptions or jumping to any conclusions, would produce the balanced state of completeness where there could be Divine self-consciousness, a consciousness of Divine Being at this level. The mind was created to allow this to be so, and it is the means by which the creative radiation is extended into the realm where Divine Man has responsibility on the surface of this planet.
“Let your light so shine before men”; allow all this to transpire. And it is not a vague, undifferentiated thing. It is something very specific. It relates to specific levels of consciousness and experience. We need to begin to see this with clarity. Even from the standpoint of man's consideration of God there has been a recognition of some sort of a trinity. In other words God is not just a permeating divine fog of some kind, but there is something specific in the design, inherent in the essence of whatever God is, and this specific Divine character takes form by reason of the union of the physical body of man with the Creative Cause of that physical body. When that union is complete there is unified radiation, and that is the mind which was in Christ Jesus. That is what that unified radiation is: the Divine Mind, the consciousness of Divine Being on earth.
And so “Emissaries of Divine Light” is a very specific and accurate definition of what man is supposed to be and what man is created to be: the means by which Cosmic Cause may be translated into action at the level of responsibility, which includes this earth. And this is what an emissary of divine light is.
O Lord, we are most thankful for the working of the Law, so that as there is an increased yielding of response there may be a more complete spectrum of Divine Light experienced. And in that experience comes a new spiritual consciousness, a new outlook and awareness. This which is newly seen relates to what was already present before but unknown. As the light shines in the balanced expression of consciousness all things are made new, for the Creative Cause is present at the level where the new heaven and the new earth are to appear. We are thankful for such vision as we have now, but we know that our vision and our understanding will be limited to the extent of the reflection of the Divine Spectrum of Life which may be present in us. We can't see beyond that, we can't understand beyond that, but we may yield in response to the radiation that is yet unknown so that the reflection of it may begin to appear and consequently become known. And we rejoice to play our part in letting the reality described by the words “emissaries of divine light” be made apparent on earth, in the Christ. Aum-en.
