Are  You  Willing  To  Be  Made  Whole?




Martin Exeter   March 24, 1985




Distance and time neither separate nor connect us. They have no such power. We are one in spirit however, with one accord in one place. Circumstances are not designed to enable us to participate in spiritual expression. Circumstances never control spiritual expression. Spirit obviously does. There may have been a tendency on the part of some to imagine that somehow or other circumstances either make it easy or difficult to participate in spiritual expression. Circumstances have no such power. The power is in spirit. Spiritual expression is consequent upon spirit, never upon circumstances. 


Spirit is constantly and universally in action. What we have spoken of as the creative process, which is universally present, is activated by spirit. Spirit never ceases to activate the creative process. Spirit and the creative process are one. Spirit propagates creative cycles, as needful, within the creative process. Creative cycles are characterized by tides or pulsations. These tides and pulsations are made evident in an external sense through circumstances. The circumstance of our own physical forms reveals these pulsations in the heartbeat and breathing mechanism, etc. The circumstances of our environment bring evening and morning, night and day, winter and summer, the ebb and flow of the oceans. Back of all such pulsations are more subtle vibrational tides. Gravitation and electromagnetism are indications of activity in this vibrational field. All that is thus taking place is consequent upon the action of spirit. All derives from spirit. Without spirit there is, or could be, nothing. 


There is a rather massive and long-standing tide moving relative to this planet. Within this tide there are lesser creative cycles, and this tide is contained in greater creative cycles. We have become aware of this tide. We have associated ourselves with it. It is important that we should be alert to the continuing movement of this tide and our responsibility for letting it take fitting form in whatever way. If we are alert we will discover this as we move along. 


So there is this very definite rising tide of which we are aware. Human reaction to this movement produces effects according to the quality and character of what is present in human consciousness. Those effects, manifesting in our own experience and around us, in no way change or prevent the movement of the tide. They are temporary phenomena, all of them; immediately as they put in an appearance they are in the process of passing away. Amongst the effects of this tidal movement there is for some an emergence of a new experience of identity in spirit. Presumably we are primarily concerned with this. Here is the increasing evidence and opportunity for spiritual expression. Spiritual expression, which we have already noted, is in no way controlled by circumstances. To the extent that there begins to be present within the body of mankind even a few who experience this new spiritual identity, the action of spirit in the creative cycles is purely introduced into the consciousness and the circumstances of mankind. This truth is being exemplified by a few, some presumably here present today, some also who are present in spirit. 


I speak my word in this setting. There are those who hear it directly as a part of their immediate circumstance. There are others who hear the sound of it in spirit without the form of it in the circumstance. It is my word; but you, whoever you are, who are one with me in spirit, speak my word with me. The tone of it resounds in the consciousness of mankind as a focus point in this rising tide, and a question is asked of all people: "Are you willing to be made whole?" This is a simple question and will be answered, in fact is in the process of being answered, either in the affirmative or in the negative.


The answer is given and proven out through living, through the factual state of the individual concerned. The answer certainly cannot be given either by saying "Yes" or "No" but is proven out by each individual. This is a question that must be answered in this way by every human being on the face of the earth. If the answer is factually in the affirmative it is because there is available in the individual concerned a sufficient letting go of the past, of the influences which spring out of the past, and because there is a sufficient spiritual malleability to be lifted up by this rising tide. No one can do what is necessary to answer the question by human effort, mental effort, emotional effort, physical effort. None of it is of any value. What is the factual state in a person? This proves out as to whether the answer is Yes or No. It is a foolproof system; no one can manipulate it. According to what is actually present in any individual, so shall it be.



In this hour we participate, if we have proven willingness in spiritual expression, in propounding the question now: "Are you willing to be made whole?" It has been said that no man knows the day nor the hour when the examination in this regard should be complete. It was indicated that not even the angels in heaven knew, but, as it was put, "my Father only." Each of us, individually speaking, came forth from the Father and is come into the world. Coming forth from the Father to incarnate in human form on earth produces no separation from the Father. I and my Father are one. I came forth from the Father and incarnate in form on earth. That oneness remains. The Father and the Son are one. Spiritual expression springs forth from this oneness. It is the expression of the Father through the Son. The Son collectively is composed of male and female, but identity is not with the form of incarnation. The fact that identity in human experience has been with that form is the evidence of what may well be called the fall. 


As we assemble today, in oneness of spirit with all those who are one with us in spirit, the question is asked, "Are you willing to be made whole?" Every individual on the face of the earth must answer that question. Virtually no one will answer it consciously. The answer depends upon the stuff of which each person is made. But it is essential that in the rising of this tide it should all be brought to focus, so that this question may be asked. Those who know from whence they are, incarnate in form on earth, are those who ask the question. To be made whole, anyone must remove himself from the partial state, or must exhibit a willingness to let himself be so removed. All these things are brought to issue as it is possible for this question to be genuinely asked on earth. What is your attitude in this moment? Are you being asked the question, or are you asking the question? You cannot ask the question unless the stance is one of wholeness. All those who participate in this state of wholeness are charged with the responsibility of asking the question, and maintaining that question consistently in spiritual expression on earth. 


No doubt we see and have seen many fine people, apparently intelligent people, people who can define the truth in human terms; but thus far what has been missing is the means on earth by which this question may be asked. Those who ask this question are not interested in judging anyone, are not concerned with goods and bads, the acceptable and unacceptable, but simply with being in position to ask the question. For those who are in such position there is the absoluteness of agreement. In every moment of living the question is asked. I am thankful that my Word may be spoken and that there are those who speak my Word with me. There is only one Word. I came forth from the Father and am come into the world to speak it. This is my Word, and the Word of those who share it with me. 


The question is asked of all people, individually, "Are you willing to be made whole?" Those whose answer is proven to be that they are willing shall be made whole. Those who are unwilling in their proven answer shall cease to be. So is it established, in the name of the Father from whom each one truly came forth.
