There  Is  That  Which  You  Do  Know





from  Nature and Work of Shekinah

Uranda   June 19, 1953  Class



In this hour of meditation, I would draw you together in the spiritual pattern of Being, that you may realize more deeply the reality of Shekinah. There are many things which enter into this pattern which you cannot yet know or adequately realize, but there is that which you do know. And remember to always function on the basis of what you know. Never try to act on the basis of what you do not know and you will avoid much confusion. The human being is inclined to say, “There is much that I do not know. I do not know this or that,” and he begins to function on the basis of what he does not know, and then he gets in trouble.


Let us remember, there is that which you do know. If it is not so, there is something wrong, either with your perception and realization or my presentation. There is that which you do know. Never violate what you know, never deny it; and function on the basis of what you know, and then all is well. Why be concerned about what you do not know? That will appear in season. But let me give you a little warning.


Do not expect to know all there is to know in any specific period of time. If in all eternity you were to exhaust and encompass and contain the uttermost limits of all there is to know, that would be the point wherein heaven would become hell. You will never do it. You may know many basic fundamentals, but do not assume that you know or should know all that there is to know. So there is that which you do know, and knowing that which is true, even if it be but one point, you have a beginning, the place of beginning.


The experience of realization—illumination—which causes you to know any point of truth, any aspect of truth, is in actual fact the working of the Shekinah in you. You need to begin to realize that the patterns of Shekinah are without end, numberless, ever-changing. “All things were made by Shekinah,” all the things of God; “and without Shekinah was not any thing made that was made.” Realizing this, you can begin to see that there is a specific Shekinah pattern of Being which comes to focus and function in relationship to everything that we do in the pattern of the divine design, in the current of the kingdom control. We do not imagine that there is only one manifestation of Shekinah. The manifestations are numberless. And we must, if we would truly serve our King, we must allow the Shekinah pattern to take form in relationship to all that we do, everything, without any exception.


When there is that which needs to be done we do not properly just plunge into action on the basis of developing the physical form. With respect to anything that is to take form under the action of our hands, or by reason of our living, it should first be allowed to take form in Shekinah. “In the beginning Shekinah created the heaven and the earth.” In the beginning Shekinah created. Every creative expression must be the expression of Shekinah. There is no other. Any action, any word, any expression, that is not of Shekinah is not creative but destructive, without a single exception, ever, at any time, in relationship to any person. All things of God, of the divine design, of the garden of God, in heaven or on earth, “all things were made by Shekinah; and without Shekinah was not any thing made that was made.” The things that were made, the things that were created, in any time past, were the result of the working of Shekinah.
