The Shekinah Pattern Of The Cosmos Is Here
from Shekinah Patterns
Uranda June 30, 1953
We thank God for the privilege we have of
unfolding in the patterns of Being, that we may begin to know the reality of
the Presence of the One Who Dwells—the Presence of the One Who Dwells. We have been considering the principles of
magic, heavenly magic, the magic of living, and particularly the principles
involved in the Shekinah Fire, the Shekinah Light That Glows, and the
Shekinah Cloud of Glory.
Yielding to the reality of the Presence of the
One Who Dwells—Once you begin to let the true current of the spirit of God work
through you, you will not need to take thought what you will say but you will be functioning in the
Shekinah Pattern of Being, as the Master did when He said, "The words that
I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."
The Shekinah, whether it be the evidence of the
Presence of the highest focalization of Deity, or the evidence of the Presence
of any God Being in the pattern of the Body of God, carries the same nature,
the same basic principles. There are specific characteristics. But did you know
that the Shekinah of the Central God of Gods, the absolute focalization of
Deity in the Central Sun of Suns, in relationship to the entire Cosmos, has a
particularized Shekinah Pattern of Being, and that that Shekinah Pattern is here. It is everywhere in the entire Cosmos,
without a single exception. There is no point in the entire Cosmos where His Shekinah
Pattern of Being is not. But do you have the ability to directly, in a personal
sense, contact that Shekinah Pattern? You do not. You
do not. It is only as we have the functions of the God Beings in the
Body of God—as there are functions of cells in your physical body to make up
your whole body—that we can have the transformer pattern by which this high
voltage, high vibration, Shekinah Pattern of Being can be related to you.
Here you begin to see, at least have a glimpse of
the basic processes by which specific patterns of creation are brought forth.
Why does the seed of grass bring forth after its kind and produce grass? Why
does every seed bring forth after its kind? Why is it that we can plant grains
of wheat and know that we will not have sunflowers coming from that seed? How
is it that we can plant sunflower seed and not be afraid that we are going to
have corn popping up where we expected the sunflowers to be? What is it that
establishes the particularized characteristics of any created thing? We see
these characteristics in the world around us.
To the human being himself, his true
characteristics in the individual sense are obscured. The pressures of
circumstance, his own ideas and concepts, have produced the appearance of
something in relationship to himself which he imagines to be himself, so he has
developed a false pattern of human personality that is a caricature of himself.
It is not the true expression of his Being. You are gradually going through the
process of letting the caricature pass away so that you can begin to be what
God designed you to be—your Real Self in expression, in nature, in function.
So,
step-by-step, according to the patterns of focalization, the creative
triangles, the creative cycles, extending out to every part and place in the
Cosmos, we have the modifications and particularizations which establish the unlimited aspects of
Being—and these aspects have not by any means been thoroughly explored. What
has been created is not all that shall be created. God is a Creator, and He
never violates His own nature by ceasing the work of creation. Man fell and
interfered with specific processes of creation so God had to establish a
pattern—a temporary pattern—in order to bring man back, to repair the
machinery. Meanwhile, the creative processes for which man was supposed to be
responsible in relationship to God must wait. They haven’t been carried on.
The real purpose
for which we are here on earth is not now evident and cannot be. We must
function on the basis of our temporary purpose, the purpose of restoring man to
his Divine Estate, restoring the manifestation of the Garden of God on the face
of the earth. Once that is done we can begin to take part in the creative work
of God which is now beyond your comprehension. But, in order to achieve this,
we remember the words in the first Chapter of the Gospel of John, in
relationship to Shekinah: All things—All
covers everything—All things were made by Shekinah, and without Shekinah was
not anything made that was made. If we remember that we will understand why it
is written that man, of and by himself, can do nothing, and he is nothing, We
will not be trying to do something without Shekinah, for all things were made
by Shekinah, and without Shekinah was not anything made that was made.
So these creative
processes continue on, in all spheres except those where man has interfered;
but there has been a lull, shall we say, or a limited pattern of function in
the whole Cosmos—it not something that just relates here to the earth as such.
By eliminating the earth—and the people on it—from the Cosmic Pattern,
annihilating it, God could conceivably have gone on, carried forward the Cosmic
Pattern without any limitation, but that’s not the nature of the Creator. He
undertook, and is working out, the process of saving man from himself,
restoring him; and that is our work—first to let ourselves be restored so that
we may function effectively in helping restore others; and then when the
pattern of restoration is complete we can get back to work—the heavenly purpose
for which we are on earth.
Meanwhile
there are limitations in the pattern of function in the entire Cosmos. We need
to realize that when we speak of the Cosmos we mean absolutely everything there
is, all of the universes, all of the solar systems, all of the stars or suns,
all of the vast expanse of the Milky Way. You know, we are a part of the Milky
Way! When you see that vast expanse of the Milky Way—you’ve never seen it as
you can see it with the naked eye; how it has that broad sweep across the
sky—and we here, on this planet, in this Solar System, we are a part of what we
call the Milky Way. We are neighbours. There are many nebulae, many varying
patterns in that vast expanse; but in any case, we’re a part of that, and that
is a part of what we are. And that is a part of the Cosmos. Man cannot see—even
with the new telescope on Mount Palomar—he cannot see the Central Sun of Suns,
the Center of the Cosmos. Man has never discovered it; he can’t very well. But,
we are a part of the Cosmos.
It
does not stop you if you have a little sore, say on your little finger;
you go on, but to some extent it limits the pattern of your whole function—to
some extent. And until that sore on the little finger gets well you cannot say
that your whole body is well. The fallen state of man here on this planet is as
a sore on the little finger of the Body of God, and it establishes certain
limitations with respect to the whole pattern of function in the entire Cosmos.
That which we do here has its meaning in that vast expanse of the Milky Way; it
has its meaning in all the other planets of our Solar System; it has its
meaning in relationship to the center of our Solar System, or the Sun.
We
look at the Solar System and we see the Shekinah Pattern of Being. All the way
through it is present—the evidence of the Presence of the One Who Dwells—and
all the various combinations of focalization, of pattern, by which these things
have been produced and brought forth to this present point. But we need to be
sharing in the creative activity of the Cosmos. We’re not just going to be
saved and go to heaven somewhere or other, to twiddle our thumbs, and pluck on
a harp and float on a cloud. We have a part to play in the creative work of God
that extends through all eternity. Because God finished the work at a certain
point in relationship to something He was doing, human beings have imagined,
strangely enough, that God just quit creating, that He is all through—that’s
all! That is not the case at all. He finished certain things. He finished
certain steps, and He was ready for man to share in further creative work.
The
pattern of these creative cycles in relationship to the Shekinah, and the One
Who Dwells, is revealed in our days of the week, the colors of the rainbow, the
notes of the octave. In many places, wherever we turn, we see these things
revealed. We see them manifest in the Solar System—the Shekinah Fire in what we
call our Sun. Man says it’s a flaming fire, burning gases. Well, I am not going
to deny that. I suppose there are some gases burning. It's still made in the
image and likeness of Shekinah—the Fire in the middle; the Light That Glows all
around it; and the Cloud of Glory, or the body of the planets. The Fire, the
Light That Glows, and the Body of the Shekinah, the Cloud of Glory—and you see the Solar System. And that
Shekinah Pattern extends from the atom to the Solar System and beyond.
The
Shekinah Pattern of the Cosmos is present
here, is present everywhere—the Shekinah currents, vibratory factors—but they
are of a level which you cannot, in a direct sense, perceive or contact. They
must be brought down in the patterns of, well, the transformers, into a range
where they can begin to have meaning to us; and as those vibratory factors are
stepped down in their patterns of application they are brought into specific
forms by reason of particularized focalizations in the Body of Being. But every
step of the way, in every thing, every form there is, anywhere in the Cosmos,
it was brought forth by Shekinah—absolute, everywhere.
And,
as you begin to understand the principles involved in your function in Shekinah, you are not going to be trying to do something without Shekinah. You understand
the laws, gradually learn to harmonize with them, function in relationship to
them, to partake of God’s creative power, and to let it manifest on the design,
the pattern, the Truth as God established it for your particular part of the
Cosmic Plan. And if you try to create or use the forces of Shekinah to bring
forth something contrary to that design you defeat yourself, destroy yourself.
Man has been doing it for centuries, for millennia. And until you begin to
reach a point where you cease trying to do the impossible, cease trying to make
something that does not conform to the Divine design, cease trying to do
something that is not subject to the Divine control, cease trying to bring
forth something that is not being produced by Shekinah in harmony with God’s
will—until you have reached that point you will be defeating yourself. When you
reach it you will begin to be what God intended you to be.
