Filled With That Fire Of Divine Passion
from The
Pure Point Of Awareness
Uranda July 22, 1948 Sunrise Ranch — Summer Session
Those of you who have
been here at the Ranch will recall that some time ago I gave instruction concerning
the pure point of awareness which becomes suspended in the present
instant.
[Function of the Mind in Illumination
April 7, 1946]
Vibrating in expectancy, there comes a point where there
is a silence that is, as it were, pregnant with something yet to take form. You
do not know what that form is. There is simply an expectancy of one-pointed
love response to the Lord, and what we may call a pure point of awareness that
is suspended in this present instant.
From the standpoint of
your consideration of the Laws and Principles which have been, and are, taught
in the Third Sacred School, you will readily see the potentialities inherent in
such a simple arrangement. The channels of alignment are provided for the
operation of the One Law under the control of the LORD of Lords, properly
polarized with respect to Eternity, the human mind not attempting to put forth
the pattern on which the form shall appear, but letting the Spirit direct the
control of the Current through the Truth Divinely established for the uses of
God in such a moment.
There comes a point in
our focalization and coordination where there is a silence—of the outer, of
course. My voice may be sounding in it or not. In other words, you come to
realize that I can talk in that silence without disturbing that silence. There
comes a point in the crossing, in the focalization of union between Heaven and
earth, where there is a silence, in which we share on a unified basis, a
silence of the outer which is pregnant with something—you do not know what. You
do not try to figure out what; you do not try to speculate; you are not
concerned; you are content that there is what I have called a pregnant silence.
Then your function is to abide in what I have called expectancy—not that you
are expecting something that you might describe; that is, as far as you are
concerned you do not know what you are expecting—but there is an air of
expectancy, rather than being expectant of something.
On the vibration, you
will come to the point where you can hold steady for longer and longer periods
of silence because you are not afraid that I have forgotten what I was going to
say. There is no cause for restlessness. You are resting in that focalization
of love response to the Lord in a silence, whether I am speaking or not, that
is expectant with respect to waiting upon the Lord, without trying to make
anything manifest according to a preconceived pattern. In this expectant silence,
you simply become, as a member of the One Christ Body, what I have called a
focalization, or a focalized point of pure awareness. You are not, properly,
asleep in that state and yet you are not thinking in the sense of trying to
figure out what is going to be said, what is going to happen, what was said, or
what is happening over yonder, or what William or Charlie is doing, or someone
else. There is just a focalization of pure awareness in this sea of expectant
silence, all in love response to the Lord.
Do you see in this the application of the Laws and Principles
which you have been taught in the Third Sacred School? It is bringing the
application of these Laws down to a fine point. The whole thing becomes unified.
You cannot divide one from another, but you see blended in this all of these
fundamental Laws and Principles in one point of application. To the degree that
you abide in love response to the Lord, and let go to the Spirit of the word
that I am privileged to speak as you come to that state, you provide a wide
open channel for the expression of the power of God into the earth, according
to His Will. We have reached a point, as members of the One Christ Body, where
we have absolutely no fear of His Will. Is that not true? We are perfectly
willing that His Will should be done on earth as it is in Heaven; then we have
no desire to impose our will upon that Current of Creative Activity being made
manifest at any given time. This is, in essence, the process of letting. Do you
see that that is true? Does that help you to a better understanding of what
letting is? In connection with Creative Activity, God said: Let there be so and so, did he not?
I shall undertake to
describe something, in principle, of the way this process works in actual
Creative Function, with a simple request first that you avoid attempting to
develop conclusions as to how it is, or shall be. This is an outline, not to
give you a picture in the complete sense, but to reveal the relationship of the
Principles involved.
We recognize God to be
the Unit of God Being, the many Members of the One Christ Body of God. As you
have begun to let yourselves enter into the Unit of the One Christ Body, so
that in the blending of the many Members, we have that One Christ Body, you
come to a deeper realization of the Body of God, the Unit which is God, made up
of the many Members of the God Beings in that Unit. Is that true? You feel that
more clearly than heretofore.
In the Creative
Processes, before the Negative focalizations were created in the Negative
Triune World, it was obviously necessary, within the Body of God, or God
Beings, to have both the Positive and the Negative points of polarity in their
proper position. The One Christ Body on earth is made in the image and likeness
of God. On this level, the Head of the Body is the Positive point of polarity,
to which the Body as a whole is Negatively responsive. Then we have in manifest
formation that which is patterned after the Body of God. The Head of the Body
here is, in turn, completely Negative to the appointed focalization in the
higher realms, to the LORD of Lords. You know, through your experience along
the way, that that focalization and alignment has been proven over and over
again to be absolute and continuous.
So, going back to the
Body of God with respect to Creative Activity in the beginning of things, the
Word of God would be that which was expressed by the Head of the Body of God;
and that would be the expression of the Body as a whole, just as we, as one
unit, form one body, and my expression here is the expression of the Body.
Nevertheless, in that expression of the Positive point of the Head, the
expression was to and through the Negative phase of the Body of God, just as
you find it here made manifest. When God, the Head of the Body, the LORD of
Lords, expressed the words, “Let there be light,” His word was spoken to and
through the Body of which He was, and is, the Head. The letting, then, had to
be on the part of the Negative phase of the Body of God. The Positive Head did
not let; He expressed the words, “Let there be,” then the responding Body of
God provided the focalization in the Creative Currents which permitted letting
to be a reality.
That means that these
God beings forming the Negative focalization of the Unit of God being, or of
God, became those pure points of awareness, suspended in that present instant
in the silence that was pregnant with expectancy, each God Being on an
appointed Vibration. Then the Creative Word expressed by the Head let, caused,
the appropriate Negative points in the Body of God to let the Response come
forth to the Head on the basis of the word spoken, with the result that the
cycle was set up by that word, and by that letting, on absolute or completely
controlled Vibrations, which were exact as to their nature and formation. That
Current established, then, on exact Vibrations was the Spirit moving in the
Truth, the Current in the formation, the Spirit in the Truth. The exactness of
the Nature of the formation, the exactness of the Vibration of the Current,
caused the unformed to respond, or that which was formed in the lower
vibrations to respond, and as the Current touched that specific vibratory rate
of being, to draw that substance into form around the Spirit of the form, which
was patterned according to the Truth.
And so, in brief
outline, with respect to the primary Principles to remember in the operation of
the One Law, you behold the means by which the world was brought forth. And man
was created in the image and likeness of God. We see that as Jesus Christ, the
manifest expression of the LORD of Lords, established in embryo, as it were,
that perfect form in the earth, and that perfect pattern, He opened the way
whereby many members might be drawn together according to that pattern, in the
Current of that Spirit, to express Life. It was not required that any one
individual alone should achieve the absolute fullness of that, to the point of
actual manifestation, of wielding power in relationship top the whole world. It
was simply required that individuals should be drawn together, so that they
would let the Reality that was in them be blended into One Christ Body in
focalized Love Response, so that the Body would begin to let. Does this open up
anything for you?
What I was asking, to
begin with, was that you begin to practice, as members of the One Christ Body,
the art of letting from the standpoint of the One Christ Body on earth, the
manifestation of the Divine on earth, for the purposes of releasing the power,
according to Divine Will. Does that complete a cycle, so that you see?
What is that First
Commandment? “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” You are to love the Lord with
everything that you are. Put that First Commandment into this picture that we
have been drawing, and the whole thing fits, does it not? You see that we have
something that by its very Nature, if there is a God, must work. And there is
no question in our minds as to whether there is a God, is there? Then it comes
down to the point of absolute assurance; not blind faith, hope or wish: but on
that basis you see the foundation of that expectancy which I mentioned. It is
not that you know what you are expecting, but there is a feeling of expectancy
that is faith; or we might put it another way; it is the highest manifestation
of faith as it works in Reality, although we would hardly call it faith in the
ordinary sense.
It is more than just
being receptive; it is something that is absolutely polarized, alive and vivid.
One can be completely positive, and be receptive. This is in no sense positive;
of course, it is receptive, but that is a far cry from describing what I am
talking about, because here it has to be alive and vibrant; in a sense, filled
with that Fire of what we might call Divine Passion. It is there waiting to be
used as and when the Lord shall find it correct to do so. On that basis, you
begin to have a deeper understanding of this feeling realm.
Another point: You will
note that in the Third Sacred School you have something that is absolutely
unique in the whole world. From this standpoint, as well as from others, we
insist that it be not allowed to go off on a tangent, that is, simply feeling
on the one hand, or simply intellectual cognition on the other hand. It is
required to be the balance of these two in the highest possible degree, and if
it starts going off on a tangent in the feeling realm, you find me emphasizing
the awareness realm in the intellectual sense, and vice versa. As you look back
from this moment through the years, you will see that weaving, as it were, back
and forth, bringing the Divine Pattern into manifestation in the tapestry of
life. Now that pattern begins to appear in a balanced form. There were times
when it looked to you as if it were getting too much over this way, or too much
the other way, or something was getting left out. Now, as you come into the
focalization where that tapestry is beginning to appear in its fullness, do you
see a lack of symmetry? No. You find a balance that begins to show the artistry
of the Absolute Pattern.
You have heard me make
reference to the Activity of God on earth, in which you were to share. You
probably imagined that you would be going out here as an individual, somewhere,
doing this, that and the other thing; or else some person would be given a
special commission somehow, to go out and do some great thing. Well, I am not
saying that individuals will not go out, but if they do, it will be because they
are integral units in the unit, regardless of where they are. Therefore, you
see that the Activity of God made manifest on earth is simply the letting
process, by which the image and likeness of God appears on earth and functions
on earth.
O LORD of Lords and KING
of Kings, Beloved Lord and Master of us all, we rejoice to let the Fire of Thy
Love shine forth. We give thanks for the privilege of letting Thy word go forth
into all the earth, knowing that it shall not return unto Thee void, but it shall
accomplish that whereunto it is sent, in and through all who let go in Love
Response to Thee. In the Christ. Au-men.
