A Shifting Of The Triangle Must Now Take Place
This afternoon I would
like to consider with you, in the beginning of our service at least, certain
principles of reality in connection with creative triangles and cycles. You have recognized for some time, in a
theoretical, intellectual sense at least, and perhaps to some degree in
realization, the great triangle which provides the creative base upon which
this world was brought forth, the focalization which permitted that which we
behold. We have recognized Orion and the Pleiades, with our sun as the apex in
this solar system, as the cosmic base of the creative activity which found
expression here.
We have considered this
same principle in relationship to specific phases of manifestation, but now I
would like to draw your attention to a creative triangle that is of immediate
importance in connection with that which has been, and certain shiftings of the
triangle with respect to that which shall be. You already have some recognition
of the fact that in order to establish a negative point of polarity in the
earth a commission was given to the Lord of the Sacred Three by which the
positive point of polarity natural to his position was to a very high degree
relinquished insofar as function was concerned, in order to establish for the
world, in the world, a negative point of polarity.
Since this situation in
the world is of cosmic importance, and since in all the cosmos there is
interest in the outworking here being made manifest and since all cooperation
possible has been provided from out of the cosmos, and since this world is a
part of the solar system, and since we recognize that this process is essentially
a process of creation, although we sometimes speak of it as recreation, an
examination of the factors involved shows that the creative triangle had to be
established according to laws and principles that would let the highest degree
of this cosmic force be utilized in the accomplishment of the essential
purpose. Therefore a creative triangle was set up recently—that is, about the
beginning of this century—for a specific purpose.
One point of the
triangle was established in the Sun; one point of the triangle was established
in the LORD of Lords in the Inner Planes; the third point of the triangle was
established in the outer world in the Lord of the Sacred Three, to provide the
manifestation of the negative polarity to the positive polarity, that the
creative field might be established, cycles set up, results achieved according
to the conditions of the world as they now are.
That is the basis upon which we have been operating, the basis by means
of which the One Christ Body was focalized and brought forth to the degree that
you see it manifest in the womb of the world's darkness.
I have spoken of the
birth of the Body. In a sense it is the birth of the Body; in another sense it
is simply the entrance of life into the Body while it still remains in the womb
with respect to the events yet to come. In any case it is recognized that the
negative point of polarity that was arbitrarily established is properly
contained, focalized, in the Body itself, which is in season to become the Head
of the expanded expression of the Kingdom on earth. That triangle in the creative cycles has
worked effectively. The time is approaching when a shifting in the triangle
must take place.
The new manifestation
of the triangle must be a shifting to contain the creative triangle within the
Whole Holy World—one point established in the LORD of Lords, one point in the
Lord of the Sacred Three, and one point in the One Christ Body made manifest.
This means that the sphere of negative function which has been focalized
heretofore in the Lord of the Sacred Three will be relinquished as rapidly as
possible to the Body. It also means that two points of the triangle will then
manifest in the Negative Triune World, one point remaining in the Inner Planes,
focalized in the LORD of Lords. This provides a means by which the cycles of
the expression of control with respect to the outer planes becomes more
compact, as it were, more definitely brought into the field of control with
respect to the Negative Triune World.
In this shifting of the
triangle, which must be permitted to manifest in the comparatively near future,
we shall be permitted to have in manifestation, insofar as this activity is
directly concerned, the absolute positive and the absolute negative in this
outer world. Now of course there is the positive center of control in the Inner
Planes, which is never overlooked, and to which the negative point of polarity
must respond in order to make the triangle a reality. Nevertheless we are
coming to the point where in this outer world the absolute positive and the
absolute negative shall manifest for the purposes of the Kingdom. In a very
real sense, vibrationally speaking, this means the coming of heaven into the
world.
You have already
experienced that coming of heaven individually and collectively to a high
degree, on the basis of the triangle now in operation; but whether it is
immediately clear or not as to the reasons, that triangle now in operation is
not suited to the completion of the work. It is a means by which the expression
of heaven has been projected into the earth, but it cannot be the means of
actually bringing heaven into the earth. In this move, where the two points of
polarity of immediate importance with respect to the setting up of the Kingdom
are in the world, it becomes something that is operating in the Negative Triune
World; that is, from the standpoint of the Cosmos, from the standpoint of the
center of our Solar World, from the standpoint of this Whole Holy World. There we have a very great and important
distinction.
You have, during this
period of the past up to the present, recognized that positive point of
polarity in the world and accepted and responded to it, else you could not be
here; but it has been at the same time the manifestation for you of the absolute
negative to the point of polarity in the triangle established in the LORD of
Lords. You recognize that to be true, don't you? Then we see that only one
corner of the triangle has been and is actually in outer manifestation. This
shift in the triangle, which is to take place in its appointed season as you
continue to function in a manner that will let it be so, will not immediately
change to any great or appreciable degree that which you see in the outer
world. Because of your viewpoint, because of your recognition already
established, the change in function from the standpoint of one triangle to the
other will not make a great deal of difference, because you have come on the
basis of the fundamental facts of the potential of that triangle as you have harmonized
around the one manifest point.
As the Body assumes
responsibility with respect to the negative point of the triangle, and that
responsibility is conveyed or relinquished by the Lord of the Sacred Three and
he is permitted to establish his function on the basis of the absolute positive
in the outer world, the spread there in a vibrational sense will not
essentially change that which you already recognize; but you will find, as you
function correctly in your places and we continue to operate, that there will
begin to appear a very great change with respect to the manifestation and
expression of power in an absolute sense, controlled. And the other corner of
our triangle will be established in the LORD of Lords.
Since He is in fact
near at hand with respect to what we are doing, we are bringing the triangle
down now, as it were, in the near future, in size to something that extends
from the seen to the Inner Planes, and from these two points there is a
focalization here to one point in the outer planes; therefore, comparatively
speaking, it is a very small triangle. By reason of Unit response, we know that
the LORD of Lords is near at hand; He is not far away. You know that I am not
far away. You know that you are near unto Him and you are near unto me. It
simply means that with respect to the points of outer control, we have the
positive and the negative in the field out here, setting the vibrations with
respect to the inner point of the triangle, so that we do not have to work
simply on the basis of control from the Inner Planes.
In a sense you have not
felt that all of the control was in the Inner Planes; in other words your outer
recognition with respect to your consciousness has seen two things in one
point. Now that point must elongate, so to speak, and make a line, so that
there is a positive and negative recognition in the outer—not two things at one
point. To the degree that this fundamental shift in the cosmic outworking here
in the world is seen, recognized and realized, the reasons for it are felt and
known by the Body; so, when the time comes, recognition of that shift is in
consciousness and function is made manifest accordingly on the basis of this
comparatively small, compact triangle.
Therefore we shall have
for the time being what we may call a limited field of creative function.
Actually our field has been small in one sense, although it has been spread out
into the world considerably. In a vibrational sense we have had to depend upon
this large triangle. To the degree that the negative point of the triangle
comes into its place, functioning consciously and effectively in that place, it
will permit a tremendous increase in the manifestation of the power of God on
earth. It is in fact the coming of heaven into the earth vibrationally speaking,
in a way that lets that vibrational fact which is polarized in form in the
outer world, be the means by which heaven may manifest in the whole earth.
I do not necessarily
expect you to fully comprehend all of this, but I feel that you have a
considerable grasp of its significance. Various points will come clear as we go
along, but I should like to pause here now for such comments as you may feel to
be in order from within your own heart.
The first manifestation
of the incarnation in this vibrational sense was of the Lord of the Sacred
Three, and not of the Lord of the Sacred Seven; but as the Lord of the Sacred
Three is permitted to relinquish that field of function with respect to the
negative aspect to the Body, and to move out of it and away from it, so to
speak, then the direct vibration of the other angle of the triangle, of the
Lord of the Sacred Seven, incarnates in the Body and it becomes a dual
incarnation in a sense; in other words from these two points there is an apex
where these two points meet, and the negative aspect is at that point. Then we
have something that, as the coordination is maintained in the negative aspect,
so that it does not waver, is not pulled this way or that by anything that
happens in the world, permits absolute control in the outer and in the inner,
and with two currents focalized and meeting at the point of the positive,
something is bound to happen.
First, you are in the
Sabbath rest of the Lord, learning, simply to be that Body, with the positive
point of reality, so to speak, incarnate in it in the closer sense. Then when
it has become that Body, so that it is sufficiently stable, sufficiently
unified in the fire, sufficiently established in the truth, so that there could
be a withdrawal—that is the way it will work out. While this will be a withdrawal
in one sense, to make way for something else, the focalization of the spirit
incarnate in that Body still remains absolute. That also permits in a real or
new degree the coming of the Spirit of Love into the Body, incarnating in the
Body manifest in the positive and negative aspects to make the complete union.
It must be one, but it is with respect to that that we find these focalizations
outworking. When it is seen that this
outworking is simply a natural reversal of that which the Great Master worked
out when He was on earth, and you function accordingly, it will all become
clear and be absolute.
He said: "Before
the Spirit of Truth can come to you, I must go to my Father." He had to
withdraw from the body that He had been forming in order to let the new
incarnation in that body appear. That group did not hold together to let the
incarnation take place. Now, the manifest point of this positive control has
formed something of which you are the parts. Just as the fulness of the Spirit
of Truth could not come to them until He had withdrawn from the body, so the
fulness of the Spirit of Love cannot come into this Body until the manifest
expression here withdraws from the Body; but because the manifest expression
thus assumed properly belongs on earth, that focalization does not have to go
to the Inner Planes. The focalization that belongs in the Inner Planes is in
the Inner Planes, so this withdrawal that must come in season is not the
withdrawal of separation, but it must be a real withdrawal with respect to
vibrations and focalizations involved.
That will permit the
outpouring of the Spirit of Love in a new sense and on a new basis—not through
the Spirit of Truth, but a direct expression from the LORD of Lords into that
Body, on a vibration of focalization at an apex with the Spirit of Truth. Then
these two radiations, blending, fusing, at one point in the Body, provide the
outpouring of the holy spirit in the greater sense, toward which we are moving
and which the LORD of Lords had set so that it could have been made manifest at
that time. The manifestation of the Lord of the Sacred Three was there, but the
Body did not stay steady and the parts of the Body started running before the
Lord. At that time this same process working the other way could have come into
manifestation. That was why I told you that in 70 A.D. the Master's prophecies
could have been fulfilled.
Now we find that all
the principles are exactly the same, and it is simple, because the Lord of the
Sacred Seven is in the Inner Planes and the Lord of the Sacred Three is
manifest and he has control of the outer manifestation of the Body. To the
degree that the Body manifests properly, he can withdraw from the Body without
leaving the Body, in a way that will let the Lord of Love come into you, just
as the Master promised that the Spirit of Truth would come into them. As they
functioned properly they began to feel that current, but they scattered under
the pressure of it, started going this way and that, started functioning
according to human concepts instead of remaining focalized and letting that
current work according to the triangle, because the triangle that was being set
up then is just the same as the one that is to be set up in the near future,
but now we are setting it up again on a different basis.
Then it was the
withdrawal of the Lord of the Sacred Seven, to permit this focalization. This
time it is the withdrawal of the Lord of the Sacred Three from the point,
without actually leaving the Body. This permits a manifestation of the positive
and negative aspects on earth, so that the negative aspect will contain this
union of the Spirits—the Spirit of Love and the Spirit of Truth centered at one
point in the One Christ Body on earth.
The Lord of the Sacred
Seven was the only One who could do the job then. It had to be Him because of
many factors, some of which you may recognize, some perhaps not. He had to work
primarily on His own current to build that which was the expression of the
Spirit of Love. He used the Truth—the Truth was there—just as you have seen the
Spirit of Truth in operation in manifest form, using the current of Love. They
were not separate; but He was building it on His current, which was the only
one He could build it on, and that did not emphasize to human minds the point
of the truth. He made the form clear enough, but because of directions of
response and attention, while it could have, and should have, worked out—I am
not offering them any excuse—but you see how it is clearer to us than it was to
them.
Then it was built on
the primary current of the Spirit of Love; now it is built on the primary
current of the Spirit of Truth, which makes it have a more stable form. If they
had held steady, the spirit, the form in the truth, would have been there. As
we approach this point of the greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the
focalizations are firmer. You have been able to come from the standpoint of the
Spirit of Truth, which has emphasized every conceivable angle of truth that
your minds could possibly bring up, or demand an answer to, no matter what
field you moved into. The Great Master did not do that; it was not necessary.
The power of His personality and love was enough, and you have felt that when
you have come close to the current. You start in with your questionings and
when you get in there they are gone. Working all around His personality He gave
the principles, He conveyed the ideas, He did not fall down on His job; but it
simply did not take hold on the same basis. There could not be, in the sphere
of those responding to Him, the questioning that has been possible and
permissible in this development.
The spiritual approach
is not the most difficult of achievement actually, but it is the most difficult
for human beings to accept. It would have been so much easier for humanity to
come in on that current than to come in on this current, because the
necessities of acceptance have become more stringent. At the time of the First
Sacred School it was still easier for the world, but more difficult from the
divine standpoint. Then it became more difficult both ways, and here we have
this outworking.
Consider this fact. I
said that the LORD of Lords was the only One who could have come through with
respect to the mental. Suppose the Lord of Truth had attempted to come through
on the mental. There would have been no way of focalizing the Spirit of Love in
that level to let the job be done. The Lord of Truth was able to function in
the mental realm, but he would have had to get enough of the current of the
LORD of Lords—i.e., His Spirit of Love into that form at that level—to allow
fusion to take place. Working through his point, humanity would not have
accepted it. Now, coming in at the spiritual expression level, and demanding
expression at that level or not at all, we function at the level of Love where
it is made manifest naturally in the world. The Spirit of Truth coming into
that level—it is a reversal again of the same principle; that is, utilizing the
same principles—we see the same plan in operation.
While He was on this
earth for a time, one of the focal God Beings who normally functions in the Sun
came to the Inner Planes of this Whole Holy World, and in conjunction with the
Lord of the Sacred Five—these two God Beings—filled that place. If the triangle
had been established in them it would have had to work, insofar as the Whole
Holy World is concerned, from the point of the fifth plane and not from the
point of the seventh plane. In that case the LORD of Lords would have actually
had to relinquish His place in the Whole Holy World completely and channel it
to some other God Being, which in the very nature of the structure could not
be. This would have necessitated a shift in the whole Cosmos, just to satisfy
the whims of man. It is not going to work that way.
