The Organization Of God Beings Composing God
Some points were
brought up in connection with the pattern of God Being which need to be seen
clearly at this level so that we may proceed intelligently in the days to come.
These seven candles can
be used to reveal something with respect to what we have spoken of as the
divine organization. Emphasis has been placed upon the fact that while God is One Being, the fact that He is One Being is consequent upon all the parts of
being being in place. God is not one person. God is composed of all the God Beings in the whole of the cosmos. The collective pattern of God Beings, who
are all individual, compose God. Now, God is not in any sense, within His own
being, in conflict with Himself. All the parts of God being fit together.
There are in
relationship to this planet God Beings who are responsible for it, and insofar
as we are concerned the sum total of those God Beings constitute God. God, in
this sense, in relationship to our planet, is then composed of perhaps some
seven billion individual God Beings. These are referred to in the Bible by
various words. The angels of God, for instance. God is composed of His angels,
God beings; but obviously, if this body of God beings is to function in a
manner that does not produce conflicts, there must be an organization; a
pattern of some kind, which coordinates all God beings into one thing, into the
One God.
This organization is
made possible by reason of the principle of focalization, which we have been
studying. All things are drawn to a point somewhere, and we have utilized the
triangle as a symbol, a picture, a portrayal of this principle. The triangle
has an apex, and it has a body. That which is at the apex focalizes the
essences of the whole triangle. In a triangle you can keep reducing its
size—the same triangle, only a different size—and gradually, as you approach
the apex, it becomes smaller and smaller; but within that smaller triangle
everything else of the whole larger triangle is focalized. It's exactly the
same triangle, only smaller, until we come right to the apex. At that point the
whole of the triangle is brought to focus; everything is there, But if we were
to just draw the point you wouldn't know what it was. Just a point. We only
begin to know what it is when we begin to let that point expand and become
whatever the form may be. In this case we use the form of a triangle because it
reveals the principles that are involved. This triangle could symbolize God.
Contained within the Being of the LORD of Lords everything is
drawn to focus insofar as the pattern of God Being is concerned in this world.
There is one God Being incarnate in the body of every human being on earth.
There are many God Beings who are not incarnate in human beings on earth. So
there are those God Beings who are incarnate on earth and those who are not. In
relationship to the pattern of God being there are those who are specifically
responsible in relationship to the inner plane aspects of this world and there
are those God Beings who are specifically responsible for the outer plane
aspects of this world. Consequently we may see in these candles the indication
of this truth. There are three candles on either side of the central one, the
three on this side representing the inner plane pattern, and the three on this
side representing the outer plane pattern, the one in the center representing
that which provides the essential vibratory factors which unify the inner and
the outer. Specifically, we see that in relationship to the LORD of Lords and
KING of Kings, ruler of heaven and earth.
He is in turn the
representative of the higher focalizations of God Being as they are established
in the solar system as a whole—specifically in the sun, of course; but He is
the highest point insofar as this world is concerned. One individual God Being,
the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, that God Being, that specific God Being,
incarnated on earth in the body of Jesus. So that which was made manifest
through Jesus was a revelation of the highest point of God Being in
relationship to this world. We can recognize, from the standpoint of the words
which He spoke, either that that which was of the outer form recognized the
Father as being the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, in other words the God Being incarnate in that outer form, or, if the word was that of the LORD of
Lords, expressed through the outer form and reference is made to the Father,
then that would be reference to the higher point of focalization of deity which
centers in the sun. It can be looked at either way. It is all one thing, but it
is one thing because of all its parts.
There is an
organization of God Beings below the apex point of the LORD of Lords.
Specifically we may recognize a focalization of God Being, one individual God
being, bringing to focus each plane of being insofar as this world is
concerned. The seventh plane is the highest. We sometimes speak of the LORD of
Lords as the Lord of the Sacred Seven. These candles represent the Sacred
Seven. We have a focalization for each of the three inner planes and a
focalization for each of the three outer planes. That is what is represented by
the seven candlesticks: either the focalizations of the seven planes or the
seven planes themselves Each focalization focalizes something; in other words,
there are God Beings who are focalized by the primary focalizations represented
by these candles.
These seven are spoken
of in the Bible, in the Book of Genesis, as the Elohim, one of the words of
God, a plural word. "Let us make man.” That expression was forthcoming
through the Elohim, the seven rulers of this world, the seven focalizations in
God insofar as this world is concerned, the highest point, the LORD of Lords,
and a focalization for each plane of being—inner and outer. There is
organization. These six God Beings on either side of the LORD of Lords are
responsible to the LORD of Lords. Those who are focalized by these six are
responsible to the particular focalization under which they serve. And so the
whole body of God is brought to the apex on the basis of focalization.
There are those God Beings who form the base of the triangle and they fill the whole triangle to
complete the One God as far as this world is concerned. That triangle is a
portrayal of the One God. Therefore, individual God Beings have specific places
in relationship to that divine pattern; and it is that specific place which
needs to take form on earth through you, so that that which is in heaven may be
made manifest on earth.
As far as possible I
wish to clarify the nature of the divine organization which constitutes God.
God is not one person. God is One Being but He is not one person. He is
composed of a great number of individualized aspects of God Being, and there is
one such individualized aspect incarnate in you and in every human being on the
face of the earth; and there are many who are not, of course.
The number of God Beings who are responsible for this world are a very small proportion of the
number of God Beings in the solar system; and the number of God Beings in the
solar system are a very small proportion of the number of God Beings in our
galaxy; and the number of God Beings in our galaxy are a very small portion of
the number of God Beings in the cosmos. But in relationship to the whole
pattern, this principle works, and finally it is drawn to a point of apex
insofar as the whole cosmos is concerned.
There is an ultimate
point of apex, what we might call the GOD of Gods—the central focalization of
deity for the cosmos. But there is an uninterrupted pattern extending from that
point throughout the whole body of God, right down to us here. We're connected
all the way through, but we are connected through by reason of focalization.
Insofar as this world is concerned we all come to focus in the LORD of Lords, and He provides the
connecting link between that which is higher again.
So the divine
organization is not a haphazard affair. Angels don't just flit around wherever
they please according to the human concept. They have definite places, definite
responsibilities. It's the most wonderful thing, providing the experience of
fulfillment in each moment throughout eternity. And there is a shifting and a
changing to a certain extent. Obviously there was a starting point in
relationship to the creation of this world, and there was something that went
before. And when that for which this world was created is finally consummated, there's
something that will follow. In other words we're not, so to speak, stuck with
one thing for the rest of eternity. There is plenty of scope, plenty of divine
provision, and we have the opportunity of beginning to find in outer form that
which is true, that which is already a fact, in the inner sense, so that we
allow that which is established inside to be made manifest outside. This
principle in the triangle must be reproduced out here on earth if God's will is
to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Exactly the same principles must be
revealed in the manifest expression on earth, and anything that is contrary to
the divine design simply doesn't work, doesn't achieve the results.
What I'm talking about
now is just a theory at the moment, insofar as you are concerned, but it
needn't remain that way if it's true. You can give it form; then you discover
what it is and you discover what your part and place is in that design, in that
pattern. So you may see something of what is meant when I speak of the divine
organization. It is a real thing. When it is the divine design coming forth, it
is harmonious. It doesn't have to be made harmonious; it is already. All we
need to do is let that which is, come forth, and then we discover what it is.
And when we discover what it is we know it. All we need to know is the
principle, and then we begin to let those principles find application in our
own lives.
We find these same
principles within the human being himself. Here is the God Being—in you. Here
is the spirit of God—in you. Here you are: body, mind, spiritual expression.
You have exactly the same organization in you as an individual. The God Being
provides the point of focus, properly speaking, in you for everything. Human
beings have established a veil through here somewhere and have decided that
this is God here, ignoring all the rest. Of course, it doesn't work. The human
mind is not God. The human mind is a part of this pattern, and it's perfect in
the pattern when it's allowed to work according to the design. Every part of
the individual is required, but it only works and achieves the purposes of God
when it is allowed to participate in the divine design.
