Stature Meter
Uranda November 24, 1947
Herewith you will receive your copy
of the Stature-Meter,
the use of which
will enable you to more clearly see and
know your own Stature in Christ.
The varying levels of consciousness
from which an individual may express are outlined under three classifications: the Little Self, the Larger
Self and the Higher Self. Your
every feeling, thought, word and deed, through every hour of every day, springs
from one of these levels, and all of these levels relate to all four phases of
your Being, physically, emotionally, mentally and Spiritually.
The Spirit of the Higher Self is allowed
manifestation through the levels of the Larger Self; therefore, function from
the levels of the Larger Self is highly
commendable as the indirect expression of the Higher Self, but the Goal is that Oneness which allows the direct expression of
the Higher Self to manifest on
earth.
It is well to imagine your point of motivation as
being a small colored ball which moves from level to level according to your
expression moment by moment.
If this ball of motivation keeps bobbing down into the levels of the Little Self, your function in those moments is
like that of an undeveloped dwarf, but
when the ball of motivation consistently remains in the levels of the Larger
Self, you are growing into your full Stature in Christ, that you may, in
season, be in
manifestation that Reality which you are. Thus it is that you are privileged to have a part in causing the Will of God to be
done on earth as it is in Heaven, and
thus it is that you share in the work of bringing the Kingdom into manifestation on earth, to the Glory of God and the
blessing of the children of men.
As long as any of your feelings,
thoughts, words or deeds originate from the levels classified as belonging to the Little Self, you are not expressing that true nobility of character of which you are capable. Any feeling, thought, word or deed originating in the levels of the Little Self is utterly unworthy
of you. When forty percent of your
feelings, thoughts, words and deeds originate in the levels of the Little Self, you may
classify yourself as having twenty percent effectiveness, because forty percent
of your feelings, thoughts, words and deeds originating in your Larger Self
will have been nullified by that which has originated in the Little Self. Until the expressions
of life through you all originate in your Larger Self, or Higher Self, you are not living in
the fullness of the abundant life
which is open to you.
As you familiarize yourself
thoroughly with the Stature Meter, and then look at it at least once a day, when you retire,
and review your feelings, thoughts, words and deeds as they have been made manifest during the day, doing
this fairly and honestly, you
will begin to see yourself as you are. As you faithfully examine yourself, you will
recognize that the petty, little things that spring from the levels of the
Little Self are not a true part of you. They are contemptible and beneath you, wholly unworthy of you.
Therefore, as you go through each new
day, you will learn to function more cautiously, making certain that the levels
from which you function are worthy of you, that your expression in life through
feeling, thought, word and deed may begin to truly manifest that Reality which you are, as you function in harmony
with the One Law in accordance with the pattern of Truth,
letting God's will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
The point from which the motivation springs is the
individual's true stature at the moment of his expression. The appearance of nobility that is made possible by favorable
circumstance must not be confused with the nobility of character and being
which manifests regardless of
circumstance. Consistent function
from the levels of the Larger Self allows the individual
to be lifted up into
the Reality of Being where he may share the function of the Higher Self in Spirit and in Truth.
