How  Big  Are  You?

Martin Cecil   1978

"How big are you?" Insofar as our physical forms are concerned, they are not all that big. But we realize that there is more even to the external manifestation than the physical form. There is the substance of consciousness which extends beyond the form. There are the levels of substance in this regard, seven such levels, of which the physical form is one. On this basis I suppose we could say we are seven times bigger than our physical form. Are you six feet tall? Multiply it by seven; that would take you up into the forties, wouldn't it? Even from the standpoint of our facilities of incarnation, we are not just as small as we thought. But is that the gauge of our physical size, do you think? That gives evidence of the fact that we must be bigger than what we create. We are able to encompass the creation. Let us not downgrade ourselves by assuming a false humility. If there is the inclination to say in any circumstance, "Well I'm only one person; what can I do about it?"—you are at least one forty-foot person. And if a forty-foot person looms on the scene I am sure everybody would take note and there would be a little hesitancy about contending. So let us be assured in this regard, partly because the facilities of incarnation are a lot bigger than we had previously thought, but also because we who incarnate are any size that is needful. We have size, magnitude, in the sense of the machinery of incarnation, sufficient to handle the incarnation.
