No  Focalization  Without  Shekinah





from  Shekinah Magic


Uranda   June 17, 1953   Class — Sunrise Ranch



We have under consideration our basic theme of Heavenly Magic, and I trust our examination of the various factors involved does not at any time cause you to lose sight of that basic theme. We must of necessity examine into the various factors and facets before we can begin to really appreciate the whole.


One of the points which we have been meditating upon has to do with the seven spirits before the Throne of God. The seven stars symbolize the seven angels, who are the manifest points of focalization for the seven spirits before the Throne of God; and the seven churches reveal the body of response to the seven angels. Let us be sure we have that clearly established in mind.


There are the seven spirits before the Throne of God—that is, the One Spirit of God has these seven specific aspects of primary manifestation. In order to have these seven phases of the Spirit manifest they must come to focus in relationship to the earth. So there are the seven angels which provide a focalization of Spirit before the Throne of God. And then the seven churches manifest as the body of responding ones which provide the machinery for the manifestation of that particular aspect of Spirit. As we have the substance of the seven glandular patterns in the endocrine system so must we have those human beings who respond in pattern so that they become the means of manifestation for the seven spirits which are brought into focalized manifestation by reason of the seven angels.


Here is a little diagram in order to simplify the comprehension of this principle. We will draw a circle at the top, within which we will put a cross signifying the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings. Then this same circle, this same point, is projected outward into the physical realm—and you cease to see the focalization of the seven planes of Being—and you begin to see the focalization which forms the manifest expression at any given time for the inner reality. This is that, then, which manifests in the negative triune world. And immediately back of it, in the invisible realm, is the focalization as it is contained eternally in the Lord of Love or the Lord of Lords.



Then, we have the division of the aspects of Spirit, symbolized here by the seven golden candlesticks. “And in the midst of the seven (golden) candlesticks one like unto the Son of man.” And at the point of focalization for each of these we have the manifestation of one of the angels which provide the manifest expression. Now, in order to carry this out further, we will examine the pattern as it relates to the seven angels first, because we have in that a creative triangle which is based in the circle of the centering of Being—and the aspect of Spirit which has its broad base in the invisible realm comes to point in the angel.


Then there is another triangle which takes form in relationship to each of these seven, being the manifestation which is transferred from the inner realms to the outer realms. There must always be, without any single exception—and remember this always, because there is no exception—somehow, it may be small comparatively speaking, or large, its size is beside the point—that which is coming from the inner planes must by some means come to a single point. It does not ever simply manifest on a broad base. It must come to point somewhere, somehow, in some one, and you are supposed to be individual beings through which something comes to point out of the invisible realm. Then, after it comes to point in you, it expands outward again in its manifestation, so that the broad base here—if the transfer has been correct—the broad base here contains the same essences and same qualities and characteristics which we have in the broad base in the inner planes. It cannot manifest just as a straight line outward; it must come to point in focalization.


Now, from the standpoint of giving attunements, and we are nearing the point where we will be meditating particularly on attunements as such, the function of the Server to the servee, and I am beginning to give you the fundamental principles involved in fact right now. You must be such a point if you are to be a Server. It may have functioned more or less automatically for some of you in the past and you did not know perhaps just exactly what was happening—but if there was a current of the Heavenly Spirit working through you in the pattern of Heavenly Magic, there was a focalization of that Spirit through you. It came to point in you, and then according to the response of the servees, they started to receive the manifestation of that—making it manifest on the broad base in the outer realm.


But, there is always, without exception, the operation of this double triangle in relationship to the manifestation of invisible things in relationship to this world of form—and if you remember that, if you understand something of the function of the creative triangle which makes a manifestation of the creative field, you begin to understand something about creative function. It must come to point.


Now, that must be with respect to every manifestation, at every level, for all things—whether it is a tiny blade of grass that manifests, or anything else. Everything that actually comes from the inner planes into the outer manifests by reason of these creative triangles and the principles of focalization. If I have any value to you it is because I focalize something out of the invisible realms, to point, on this basis, so that this point here is in fact a point of focus, something coming from the invisible realms, and then it begins to manifest outward.


These, you will notice, if you carry the pattern out, form on earth a triangle of manifestation so that we begin to see that if my function on earth has any meaning to you, it is because of this fact. And the Throne is that which is the visible or manifest formation of the power and authority of God—the means of its expression. We begin to see that everything must work on the basis of a focalization.


Now we can say, “You be a focal point,” and that person might never focalize anything. Such a person might try, but you cannot just say, “So and so is going to be a focalization of thus and thus”—just as a human being put in a specific physical place, geographically speaking, would not in any sense establish a focalization. What is it that establishes the reality of a focalization? Just one thing. Depending upon the level, the patterns, the responsibilities, and that which is focalized—remember this: There is no such thing as focalization without Shekinah. You must realize the basic principles of focalization and realize that the point of focalization is the point of manifestation for Shekinah.


In actual fact, in the true sense—I recognize we have just been moving forward toward it, but—you cannot give an attunement in any real, positive sense unless you yourself, as a Being, have become a focalization of the reality of the manifestation of Shekinah—the Fire, the Light that glows, and the Cloud. Now different people have different patterns of perception and we do not need to all the time see the Cloud as such, but it is there. You cannot give an attunement to any human being who will not let you enfold him or her in the Cloud. I do not care how you put your hands, I do not care what you do, what technique or anything else—if that person, as servee, coming to you, does not allow you to enfold that person—if the servee does not allow you to enfold him in the Shekinah Cloud, you cannot give any true attunement. You might conceivably, to some degree, give a little radiation. A little radiation might manifest without any particular enfoldment.


Now, the servee is going to come to you with conflicts internally, conflicts in his vibrational factors. He has a conflict in his body or he would not be sick or ill in some fashion—all these conflicts. And every conflict pattern, regardless of its supposed cause, shuts out Shekinah—establishes a veil between servee and Shekinah. If there is a conflict pattern in heart or mind or body, or in spirit, then that conflict pattern stands as a veil between that person and the reality of the manifestation of the Presence of the One Who Dwells. The One Who Dwells where? In Heaven, in reality, in the Shekinah Fire.


The Shekinah Fire must form in actual fact, and be there, if there is to be a true focalization. If I could not come before you as a means of bringing the focus of Shekinah from the invisible realm into the visible, to make it manifest before you to whatever degree your perceptions permit you to recognize, I could not serve you. And, certain people have tended to say, “Well now, I am not going to accept the idea of focalization. I don't need anyone between me and God. I’ll make my own contacts. I'll get along. I'll do this; I'll do that.” Allright, go and do as millions of others have done and accomplish nothing, because they have spent their few years of meager existence without the realization of the reality of Shekinah.


If you are to have any meaning in the Service of our King, and have any effectiveness in causing the Kingdom to come, you too must become a constant focalization of Shekinah, according to your place and part in the cosmic plan. Without the reality of the focalization of Shekinah in you, so that there is the Light that glows, so that people can begin to sense there is a Fire in you, that you are not all dead ashes, so that there is a cloud that enfolds—an atmosphere of Heaven, if you please—you cannot be effective, for the atmosphere of Heaven is the Shekinah Cloud. The atmosphere of Heaven is the Shekinah Cloud.


I think some of you, perhaps all of you, have learned that when you begin to come into my physical presence you begin to feel something. You should anyway. Why? Well, there may be a little evidence of the Light that glows, perhaps there may be a little sensing of some Fire somewhere—I hope so—but there should likewise be a sensing of an enfolding something, the enfolding Cloud, the Shekinah Cloud. And until you learn to abide with the Shekinah Fire burning eternally in your heart, never going out, you cannot truly serve. The Shekinah Fire is the Fire that never goes out; it is the eternal Fire. Now, the Shekinah Fire is not going to go out, but you can exclude it from your heart, and unless it burns eternally in you, you are not—no matter what you say, no matter what you think you know, no matter what training you think you had, or anything else—unless the Shekinah Fire burns in your heart without going out, day or night, you have not become a priest or priestess unto our God—for that Fire is the eternal Fire, absolutely constant.


Its manifestation may not always be the same. There may be times when onlookers may not perhaps immediately perceive it. There are times, such as when you go downtown or something like that, that you will let it sort of recede. You are going to have general patterns of contact with the public, and you let it recede. But it is there—not so easily seen. What was it, from the standpoint of Moses when he had been in the Shekinah Fire communing with God with respect to the commandments and the Divine instruction to the children of Israel? He came down from the mount and the people could not look upon him, so he had to put a sack over his head because the glow of the Fire—the Light that Glows—was so strong that people were afraid to look at it, so he had to cover his head. Well now, that sack, that covering, is not actually necessarily a physical thing that you can see. It is not a piece of cloth necessarily. I wear it a good deal of the time, of necessity. But, Blessed Ones, there comes a time when one does not have to wear it, in certain places at least. You do not need to worry about that for a while. But, you do need to begin to see the principle and understand it.





And here we have the release of that which is from the Inner planes that comes to point in someone, somewhere, and then expands out again from that individual to be shared by others. And no one person can bring to point and make manifest all that he himself needs. Remember that. It is utterly and absolutely, eternally—even in the divine state—utterly and absolutely impossible for any human being to bring to point and focus in himself all that he himself needs in manifestation on earth. Every point of focalization must depend upon other points of focalization for some of the things that need to be made manifest from heaven for him. I cannot make manifest all that I need, not by any means. It is impossible! Nor can you. I can make manifest certain things that are of vital importance to you. Within the pattern of focalization there are certain things which I can properly make manifest—it is my responsibility—but there are a multitude of things in the range of my own focalization, in relationship to the whole pattern, that I cannot personally make manifest; it would be impossible.


You share in it, others share in it, until all of the things that we all need for the perfect expression of life are made manifest by reason of true focalization and expression in life. So I receive the manifestation of virtually everything I need through someone else. I cannot make it manifest. I never try. I must depend upon others for that which I need. And if I tried to get into manifestation the things that I need, merely because I am a point of focalization, I would destroy the whole thing, spoil the pattern, and there would be nothing here for you.


Some people seem to imagine that they should be able to make manifest for themselves that which they themselves need, and it is absolutely contrary to the laws of God, divine being. The LORD of Lords Himself cannot make manifest that which He needs. Go on to the highest GOD of all Gods, the Center of all the cosmos, and He cannot make manifest for Himself that which He Himself needs. There is no point of being in heaven or earth, anywhere, that can make manifest for himself or herself that which he or she needs.


As you let the things of God be given through you into the pattern of life's expression the things essential to you start coming back to you. God starts giving through someone else to you. And it is this pattern of interchange that makes eternal life a joy. Stop and think about that a moment. Eternal life? What a boring thing it would be on any other basis! The only thing that makes it possible for eternal life to be the joy that it is in reality is this everlasting, unceasing pattern of interchange, each giving to the other that which he needs.


God Himself does not attempt to make manifest for Himself that which He needs. That which He does is to fill the needs of someone else, somewhere else, His creatures, His creation, somehow. It always works. And until there is something to give back to Him, He must go without that which He needs. He needs you. How long has He had to go without you? How can He get you? He cannot have you until you give Him that which He needs—yourself. And once you do that, you begin to be a focalization in manifestation on earth, a focalization of Shekinah.



You begin to live and move and have your being in Shekinah, and all patterns of heavenly magic—above or below, or anywhere, in heaven or on earth—all patterns of heavenly magic, issue forth from Shekinah. Without Shekinah there is no magic, not even the magic of living—just existence.

I so love what is said here by Uranda, just as I always have with respect to all others you've posted. (So thankful I am to receive these.) I recognize it isn't a matter of just reading words, but to feel and know in my soul the Spirit, the Reality, expressed . . . for my soul doth magnify the Lord my God. And quoting Uranda: " . . . until you learn to abide with the Shekinah Fire burning eternally, never going out, you cannot truly serve." I understand this to be the absolute---there is no question in my mind concerning it . . . I abide with the Shekinah Fire burning eternally. I thank you, David, for posting this one.
