The Peculiar Significance of the Divine Arrangement
Uranda March 29 1947
The
other evening, in one of our Services, I brought out the point that people have
very often undertaken to judge me on the basis of comparing me, and my
function, with that of the LORD of Love when He was on earth as Jesus the Christ.
He came into the earth to reveal Deity, and to bring a focalization of Divine
Love into the earth, that whosoever will may respond thereto. I pointed out
that my function was to inspire Love Response to the LORD of Love and that only
those who let themselves be so inspired can really share in the expression of
Love on earth from the LORD of Love. Those who, by reason of their failure to
Respond rightly to the LORD of Love, separate themselves from a position of
truly sharing His Love, thereby separate, insofar as they are personally
concerned, Love and Truth.
Truth, to the degree that it is received in Love
Response to the LORD of Love, is something that is a joy; it brings peace; it
sets individuals free so that they can truly live life; but when Truth is
separated from Love, insofar as individual consciousness is concerned, then
Truth is seen in its hardness, shall we say. Truth, separated from Love in the
consciousness of the individual, appears to be something cold, and perhaps harsh.
The unyielding, undeviating nature of Truth is something that is sometimes difficult
for individuals to comprehend. They have been setting up their concepts on a
basis of a human concept of Love because they imagine Love—and therefore they imagine
Jesus Christ—to be so yielding and amiable and so tolerant, that no manifestation
of the Rock therein is recognized, and consequently in such a human consciousness
anything that is of the Rock is judged to be foreign to Love. In all of this we
find the reason for the failures back along the line of history, when man has sought
to so function as to align himself—or, perhaps, in some instances, to let
himself be aligned—with God.
We
speak of the Triune Ray as being Light, Love and Life. When we recognize the
Triune Ray in relationship to the Creative Currents of Being, we find that
Light is that which manifests through Truth, and if there is no Truth there is
darkness, regardless of the individual consciousness concerning Love.
Therefore, it is seen, with respect to the Four Creative Forces, that the first
is Water and is associated with Light. When the Spirit of God moved upon the face
of the waters God said, as the first Creative Act, “Let there be Light”. Next in
the Triune Ray is Love, which is symbolized by Fire, which is the fourth of the
Four Forces. So between these two we have the manifestation of the other two
Forces, and they are thereby understood to be included. When there is Truth,
through which Love operates, the result, insofar as this outer world is
concerned, is the expression of Life; therefore, the Triune Ray, which
recognizes Love to be the Center, also reveals the relationship of Truth to
Life, but Love, even if it be Divine Love, does not produce Life, without Truth.
When these things are clearly seen in the Triangle, the individual must come to
recognize that if his own consciousness—and consequently his own life
experience and environment—are to be changed and recreated, the Spirit must move
first upon the face of the waters before there can be Light, and the Light must
manifest before there can be a consciousness of the Fire, for though the Fire
may be to some degree present, and may to some degree be felt, it is not
effective in relationship to the manifestation of the true Life expression until
the Light is seen, and the Light cannot appear except through Truth. Therefore,
in the range of human experience, the initial approach to the outworking of
Reality in the individual life must be in the mental plane, through the mind,
with respect to the Truth, by reason of which the individual begins to see the
Light and consequently permits himself, to that degree, to be illumined,
whereupon his consciousness of, and polarity in, the Fire of Divine Love,
permits the Four Forces to begin to operate in recreative function which begins
to shape and mould and bring forth the true expression of Life.
The
peculiar significance of the Divine arrangement with respect to the manifestation
of life on earth cannot be clearly comprehended until there is an understanding
of the three planes of the Negative Triune World in relationship to the three
phases of the trinity of the human manifestation, whereby the individual may, if
he will but let it be so, Respond to the Positive Source of Life which is the
LORD of Love, and become thereby a manifestation of Divine Life on earth, thus
revealing Deity on earth.
Consider the fact that the Lord of the Sacred Three
is likewise the Lord of Truth and that the Lord of the Sacred Two is the
focalization on earth of the Spirit of Life, representing the Lord of the Sacred
Five, and so may be rightly recognized as the Lord of Life on earth. The correlation
of the Lord of the Sacred Two with the second or mental plane of Being is seen
to be peculiarly significant with respect to the Divinely ordained means by
which man may share in Life Eternal and express Life in Reality here on earth. The Lord of the Sacred Three, representing the LORD of the Sacred Seven,
provides the focalization of the Spirit of Truth on earth and thereby
establishes the Divinely ordained pattern in relationship to the Spiritual
Expression phase of man, or the third plane of Being in the Negative Triune
World. However, until that Truth is seen and recognized by the mind, the Light
of the Spiritual Expression has no meaning with respect to the individual, and until
it has meaning it cannot produce the essential life in the manifestation of the
individual on earth.
Therefore, this Divine arrangement is seen at once as a means
whereby a Creative Field is established on earth wherein the individual who is
attuned in Love Response to the LORD of Love may let his mind be so opened that
he may begin to know and see the Truth, through which the Light of Illumination
is caused to fill the temple, which is the body of the Responding One,
whereupon, to the degree essential to the fulfillment of the individual life,
an awareness of Truth, as it is in Reality, begins to be made manifest in
consciousness, but that Truth is seen to be based in the Spiritual Expression
plane of Being and not in the physical and mental realms, for it is only after
Truth in its Spiritual Essence is perceived by the mind, so that comprehension
is on the basis of the Spirit that giveth Life, that the individual can begin
to truly share in the true expression of Life on earth.
In all of this we begin
to see the vast scope of meaning that is contained in the Master's words,
"I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life", for the Way is the Way of
Love Response to the LORD of Love, but that Love must be allowed to manifest
through the individual according to the Pattern of Truth before he can begin to
share in the Christ Life, and so be a member of the One Body through which the
LORD of Lords may cause the Greater Works to be accomplished, and we recognize that
only in the accomplishment of the Greater Works can that Life which is called salvation
be effectively carried to the children of men, so that evil may be eliminated
from the face of the earth and the Christ Kingdom may be made fully manifest
for all the children of men who will let themselves be drawn under the Banner of
the Prince of Peace.
In all of these things we have that which is of vital importance
to each and every individual who would Respond to God and let himself become an
instrument in the Hand of God, whereby the Will of the Father is done on earth—and
all of this we recognize in Love Response to the LORD of Love, for His is the
Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever. Aum-en.
