The Safe Place Is In The Body

The  Safe  Place  Is  In  The  Body

from  Subjects  of  the  King

We speak of the King, the Supreme One. I am sure that it is in our hearts to receive Him in the only way that He may be received. This is to take His name, so that we come into the world in His name. In so doing we are His subjects. We are not objects to Him. He is supreme. In Him come to focus all the qualities of being which are essential to Him in His position. To us He is the Supreme One, even though He provides that point of spiritual focus for what is beyond Him.  

We well know that we have the responsibility of differentiating the focus of spirit which He is. In this sense we of ourselves are nothing, but have the honor, the privilege, of revealing His character as each one of us may be in position to differentiate it. As we understand this, it is very clear as to the greatness of this One whom we speak of as the King. In Him is all that we as individuals are. Because this is so, we are in position together to differentiate His character. His character is greater than all our differentiations.    

He is supreme. We cannot help but approach Him in an attitude of reverence and respect, in one sense a little reluctantly, as we become conscious of who He is. Human beings in their human nature are inclined at times to be rather brash. They behave in ways that are not fitting, very often. We approach the King, at least metaphorically, on bended knee, perhaps with our eyes cast down. Humility before the King is the natural stance of His subjects. 

We are concerned that there should be present on the face of the earth a focus of spirit in form sufficiently clear so that there may be the acknowledgment of the King. That is the one thing that is required, because that is the one thing that was denied to begin with. There is no restoration without that. But for the acknowledgment of the King to come, it must come first with respect to those who have offered themselves to be His subjects. This must be clearly focused in consciousness.

We belong in the ark. The ark is composed of spiritual substance. There we dwell, in the substance which is the character of the King, and we reveal that character in momentary living, the way we handle ourselves and the way we handle our environment. Let us be sure that we acknowledge the King, for after all that is the one thing that has been lacking in human consciousness, in human experience. We share this responsibility. Sharing that responsibility accurately, we carry the authority of the King.

The reason for our presence on earth, if we have awakened to it, is to acknowledge the King, to provide for the King a holy place, a place where He is not only safe but from which He may extend His dominion once again. For this to happen there must be an adequate body of subjects. The substance of the subjects is vital. 

The only way that the King can be accepted, received, is as I Am. If that requirement is not accepted, the King is rejected. And it is an individual requirement. The only way He can be accepted is as I Am, is as He occupies all the space that heretofore has been held apart by this human self. The human self occupies the space, the place, of the King.

There is a changing view, naturally so, to the extent that the One I am comes forth more through the available consciousness. Some of that coming forth is conscious. The majority of it is subconscious. Whether conscious or subconscious, the coming forth of the angel, the coming forth of the One I am, dissolves the one I am not. It brings the view and the understanding of the One I am into clearer perspective in one's own heart and mind, so that we see things in new ways. We speak of a new state of consciousness—well of course, because the One I am is coming forth, bringing the design and the control of truth, so that all things are drawn into that design and under that control, which are of the required resonant substance.

There is an ark created: the ark, the holy city, the body of the subjects of the King. It has a design. The design is the way it is. We just let it emerge, and it emerges in very specific ways. We have often spoken of the fact that spirit creates its own form when allowed to do so. Spirit works the way it works, according to the design and the control of truth and in the power of love. The creative process is very persuasive and it puts people together whether they like it or not, and after a while they find out they like it. So we find ourselves fitting together.

There is still probably present in all of us some measure of the attitude which sees things as continuing the way they always have since the fathers fell asleep. But factually they are not. In the human sense the world is a dangerous place. You can't take for granted that the way you have been doing things heretofore will continue to work. Let us not take anything for granted.

The safe place is in the body. It is a spiritual body. The safe place is in the spirit of that body. The safe place is not in the world of form. One must abide in the world of spirit while functioning in the world of form, if that safe place is to be brought into the world of form. We are responsible for bringing it into the world of form, not for discovering that it isn't a safe place in the world of form. We have all had opportunity to do that. Things are hotting up, getting more intense. If one has the awareness of the One I am, one will act accordingly.

Have a care! Acknowledge the King and behave accordingly. In such case one can't behave like a childish human being. We are all related to each other, so in various ways our behavior puts everybody else at risk if we fail to remember who we are. I am not talking about something deliberate or intentional but the way it happens. And we may put ourselves at risk, or we may inadvertently put others at risk.
