Heavenly Consciousness
You
could say, “Well we’ve proven something.” Yes, but what have we proven? I think
we’ve proved that again there are people on earth who are willing to yield to
the incorruptible spiritual focus on earth, absolutely, and let it be all the
way down to one’s toes and all the way up to the top of the head and all the
way out to the fingertips, and be absolutely a yielded human being again, on
earth, free, free in that yielding, free in the love that is known.
Am I
afraid to lose freedom? What freedom?! Have I known freedom in the
human world, in the human-nature world? There are prisons there, of heart and
mind, of thought and feelings. The freedom is in the true worship of the
Supreme One. Now that could be a paradox to the human mind: one releases
oneself, yields oneself, to a supreme being of spirit and one is free? We are
free in life. We are free to express life. We are free to love, free to walk
and meet friend to friend, free to choose our momentary behavior.
I have
been thinking of that, behavior,
because we all behave every day. I mean, we all do something, don’t we, every
day? I don’t think anyone just goes into a little shell like the new chick, and
sits there, doesn’t behave, doesn’t do anything. We all have some kind of
behavior, and we are free to choose, in that sense, the characteristics, the
qualities, of that behavior, the spirit that moves through it by reason of
motivation, true motivation, of life.
To
understand, to know ourselves, is freedom. To know what caused us to walk this
way for years with Martin is privilege indeed, is blessing indeed, not just to
ourselves personally, but to all who will come to share in the expression of
true being. What takes the place of the true understanding in my heart? Nothing.
What can cause it to be gone? Nothing, unless I dissipate substance in the
behavior of my living. And we would have none of that, ever again. One could
say we have come too far; we have yielded ourselves, we have put ourselves on
the altar, as it were. There is no other place for us.
We don’t belong in the
world as it is. We belong in God’s world. We belong in the heavenly
atmosphere, the heavenly consciousness, and I rejoice with
you to be in that, to have that heavenly consciousness. From there can proceed
anything that needs to be made into form, needs to manifest, needs to be
created on earth. So we stand in this radiant position, the radiance of love,
of light. Let that increase because I live. Let that increase because you live.
Why
should we know health? That relates to this purified capacity, heart and mind
and body. Well there is only one reason to be healthy: To let a true creative
expression of life be known, to acknowledge the Supreme One—so that we might do
what we need to do here on earth. And when there is health of body, mind and
heart, those capacities are absolutely the Lord’s, are the Supreme One’s. They
are not ours. And the living Word proceeds through them because we let them be
yielded.
I love
the word absolute, that Martin was using for a year or
two of late. The emphasis was on absoluteness. His own expression of life
always carried that. And so must ours, and we do it joyfully and gladly,
yielded to the spirit of the Lord, to the Supreme One.
