The Shekinah Pattern of Being

The Shekinah pattern of Being. Outside of the Shekinah evidence of
the presence of the One Who Dwells one cannot experience true being. The human
being becomes the means by which the divine Being is revealed.
As we begin to feel, perceive with the
heart, the inner essences of this particular pattern of expression, we begin to
recognize the fact that we are going through a process of becoming integrated
with the next higher Shekinah pattern of Being.
Your personal Shekinah pattern of Being originates, centers, in the
divine Being who is supposed to manifest through the human being that is
identified with the name by which you are called. But the name by which you,
the human being, may be identified is not necessarily the name of the divine Being
who is supposed to be revealed through the human being, and so if you try to
become an integrated personality on an individual basis, you see that you are
attempting something that is impossible. You must become integrated with the
next higher Shekinah pattern of Being, so that the correlation between your
pattern of Being, the inner reality of you, and the higher pattern of Being
permits you to begin to be Being; you begin to be integrated with that which is
above. And then, as a result of that step in integration, correlation,
harmonization, agreement, you are in position to begin to go through a process
of developing integration with that which is with you on your level of being
and with that which is on the next level below the point where you have your
proper focalization of Being.
Now before we go further here, let us be
sure that we do not conceive this pattern of higher Being or lower Being to
signify less or greater worth. I suppose, relatively speaking, one could try
with the human mind to determine relative values, relative worth; but if I say
that I am on a lower pattern of Being, that my focalization of the Shekinah
pattern which is complete in relationship to myself is on a lower vibrational
level of Being than that which is true with respect to our KING, I do not feel
that I am somehow devaluated, that I am somehow made to appear to be less than
what I really am; because I know that I can be the fulness of what I am on the
level where I am supposed to be, and if I tried to be on some other level
without regard to the vibrational patterns of Being in Shekinah, I would be
nothing, I would gradually cease to be, or go through a process of non-being.
Consequently, if we recognize the different levels of Shekinah Being, we are
not in any sense saying that you are low or high, exalted or diminished, in the
sense of something that reflects against you as an individual. It is not proper
to assume that because we may say that you are on such and such a level and
someone else is on such and such a higher level that you are somehow condemned
to be less worthy or less valuable, or something, than the other person. That
is not the point.
We do have to recognize the realities of
focalization, but the basic focalizations which provide the skeleton of the
larger pattern of Shekinah would not be anything without that which is
focalized; in other words, it works both ways. And we can see in this
relationship that, no matter what I am in reality, I would have no meaning here
except for you and the others who have recognized at least something of the
reality of my focalization; and accepting that focalization does not in any
sense diminish you or make you less than that which you are capable of being.
Your full potential of Being is never diminished by acknowledging the higher
point of focalization, for the responsibility of the higher point of focalization
is not to diminish you or to lessen the reality of your Being but to establish
the factors which will permit you to be the fulness of your potentiality in
Being. Once we recognize this and have no reaction, in the sense of human pride
or some fanciful idea with respect to the levels on which we think we ought to
be, we will be content to be on the levels where we are divinely ordained to
be, and being there we reveal the reality of Being. Being somewhere else we are
branches cut off and cease to have meaning, begin to wither and go through the
processes of not-being.
This, then, permits us to see the fact
that there is no reflection whatsoever against any human being who comes to the
realization that as a human being he must acknowledge the reality of his own
divine Being, and then he begins, having made that recognition, to go through a
process of becoming integrated with the focalization of Being which is already
accepted by his own divine Being; for your divine Being is already established
in the pattern of reality in relationship to the focalizations divinely
ordained. And it is only in relationship to that that you can be what you ought
to be. So instead of trying to become an integrated personality on the basis of
yourself as a particularized person, you accept that which your own divine Being
has already accepted, the higher point of focalization.
The process of becoming integrated with
your higher point of focalization permits you, the human being, to become integrated
with you, the divine Being; and there is no other way. You cannot achieve that
integration simply in relationship to yourself as a segregated individual. But
once your consciousness, in the human sense, accepts the reality of the higher
focalization established in that Shekinah pattern of Being where you belong you
will begin to go through the process of integration in relationship to your own
point of divine Being. This means, then, that your Shekinah pattern belongs in
a larger or higher Shekinah pattern, and as you have a creative field by reason
of your Shekinah pattern, you belong in a creative field in relationship to the
higher Shekinah pattern; for the higher Shekinah pattern must provide the
creative field for your function, and without that higher creative field you
cannot function, even though you have a Shekinah pattern which becomes a
creative field in a true sense for the expression of your Being, once you have
gone through this process of integration.
Now we must come back to that and
consider it more extensively, but let us note, in relationship to the general
pattern, that your Shekinah pattern cannot have meaning until it is integrated
and correlated with other Shekinah patterns on your own level or on levels
below. Your Shekinah pattern segregated from the higher and from the other
patterns round about or below is an inactive thing. It cannot do anything; you
cannot do anything with it or by reason of it. So you are helpless, as man has
found to his sorrow. And man has tried to function without regard to these patterns
of Being.
You are beginning to realize that there
is a particularized Shekinah pattern of Being in relationship to every human
being, but they have little meaning for most. Once you begin to let your
pattern of Being have meaning in relationship to a higher pattern of Being, you
begin to be in position where your Shekinah pattern of Being can have meaning
to the Shekinah patterns of Being round about you and below you, and it is by
reason of this that the processes of integration work out.
Once you reach a point of trust, letting
go, responding to God, willingness to let His will be done on earth as it is in
heaven, you stop worrying about becoming an integrated individual. Until you
stop being concerned about being yourself integrated, you cannot go through the
process of integration. Now that may sound strange, but examining it in the
light of the Law and the principles of Being, you can see why it is so; for if
you are concerned about yourself and trying to make yourself reach a point of
being integrated, you are ignoring the Shekinah patterns of Being which should
have a right relationship to you.
Now, a little of the Shekinah pattern
begins to come through as the babe becomes a child; a little of it remains
through the processes of disintegration, going through or reaching a point of
not-being, but it is not adequate to throw the balance on the other side, the
side of living. When we look at others we do not want to say, "Well there
is no evidence of the Shekinah pattern of Being in relationship to that
individual." Generally speaking, at least until the individual has
committed the unpardonable sin, which is the absolute rejection of subjection
to the influence of the Shekinah pattern of Being, you will be able to find
something fine, something lovable, something real, in relationship to every
human being, every person who has not committed the unpardonable sin. And
broadly speaking, there are very few in this country, for instance, who have committed
the unpardonable sin. Those who have committed the unpardonable sin are those
whom we classify as the dead—the living dead, or the existing dead.
There are four classifications: the
dead, those who are asleep, those who are awakening, and those who are
awake. But any human being who is
actually dead to the Shekinah pattern of Being is dead as far as we are
concerned, and that is the second death and from it there is no resurrection—the
unpardonable sin—because the human being has cut himself off absolutely from
the means by which he might experience resurrection. But there are very, very
few people whom you are likely to contact in any near future time who can be
recognized as being actually dead. They may be in a deep coma, but there is a
starting point somewhere, and then, as they have their opportunity to awaken,
they will go one way or the other. They may finally die to the Shekinah pattern
of Being, but they may awaken to it and be resurrected. Resurrected into what?
Human beings have thought of resurrection
primarily as from death. They have not seen it really in relationship to
resurrection into something. It is
out of something—out of the tomb, out of death, out of the grave, out of
something. But resurrection is a resurrection into something. Resurrection into
life, you say, into life hereafter or life that is to be in some fashion
someday. But we begin to see that resurrection is resurrection into the
Shekinah pattern of Being, and that everyone must go through this process of
resurrection if he or she is not to become a dying soul, or finally a dead soul—the
process of resurrection into the Shekinah pattern of Being.
You cannot have Being, in a true sense,
outside of Shekinah. It cannot be done; it never has been done; it never will
be done. The Shekinah pattern of Being extends to the center of the cosmos and
is present in relationship to absolutely everything that has ever been formed
in the cosmos or ever will be. "All things were made by Shekinah; and
without Shekinah was not any thing made that was made."
We begin to realize that if we are to
share with God any true doing, we must first reach a point of true Being, and
our function must be in relationship to the Shekinah pattern of Being. So there
must be, finally, if you are to truly serve, the process of integration with
that which is around you or below you, that over which you have certain
authority or that with respect to which you have certain responsibility.
Sometimes human beings have a little of this ability of integration and we say
that that individual is easy to get along with, is friendly, he is not always
causing trouble, and so on, and that person tends to have many friends because
he or she finds it comparatively easy to go through a process of integration
with other people. But generally
speaking it is on a very limited basis that does not bring into the pattern any
great power or any meaningfulness.
If there is to be friendship there must
be the reality of integration on the Shekinah pattern. There is no such thing
as friendship outside of the Shekinah pattern. All friendships develop, to
whatever degree there have been any friendships in the world at any time with
respect to any human being—all friendships, to the degree that they can be
classified as true friendships, develop in relationship to the Shekinah pattern
of Being. And it is by reason of this that the reality of integration begins to
be evident.
