Atomic Power
Correlation of Concurrent Cycles
Uranda
July 11, 1954 Class
We have been considering together the
principle of reciprocity, and through this pattern of meditation we have drawn
closer to an understanding of that which is essential if we are to rise above
that level of function and accomplishment which is already established and
widely known in the world. There has been a beginning, as we all well know, in
relationship to accomplishing that which is necessary in the Lord's service in
the earth, but we also know that there is a need for greater power, a greater
degree of accomplishment, than we have yet known.
We have recognized that increasing
power, as such, would not be helpful but would only bring devastating results.
Increased power, in and through us, without the development of the control
which makes use of that power on a constructive basis would be just as devastating,
just as terrible.
If the outworking of God's plan on earth
had not moved forward, if there had not been real steps taken by which the
spiritual power might be made manifest on earth, I do not think that man could
have reached the point he has with respect to the physical manifestation of
power which we might well classify as the counterpart of spiritual power. If we
fail to see the correlation between that in which we are engaged and that which
commands the attention of the world, we make that to which we are called in the
name of our King to be of little or no value. By such an attitude we establish
a basis on which our only hope can be defeated. It is difficult for me to
approach this subject and deal with it without making some personal reference to
myself, which could be misunderstood, and if it is misunderstood it will tend
to hinder our program, rather than to help.
Now if I came into the world with a
divine commission—and there is the point of possible divergence of viewpoint
and opinion, and that is the reason I put it this way, not because there is any
doubt in my own mind but because I recognize that there has been, and can be,
doubt in other people's minds—but if I came into the world with a divine
commission, which has been the motivating factor in building this ministry to
this point, it is obvious that the development of the program in the overall
sense would not be left strictly to that which was directly involved in the
sense of this ministry as such. This that we are doing here is of utmost
importance, yes; but that which I came into the world to accomplish is not in
any sense limited to that which is being done here.
Many cycles were established and opened
up in the world to be carried forward more or less simultaneously in many fields,
not just that which was immediately in front of me in a visible sense, which
has come to the point which we share in this hour. Now, to whatever degree any
human mind has the idea that that in which I am engaged, and that for which I
am responsible, is pictured here, that person has not yet caught the vision.
From the standpoint of those who do not have a basis for that vision a
statement with respect to anything else seems to be arrogant, seems to be
egotistical, seems to be utterly fantastic, and I know that. My business is the
presenting of the truth. But as we have continued to this point where we can
begin to glimpse the actual working of the principle of reciprocity, it has
carried forward to a point where I cannot refrain, and be true to that commission
which brought me here—I cannot refrain from bringing to your attention certain
facts, whether they seem to you to be fantastic or not. But if you imagine that
that in which I am engaged is limited to that which is here known and here
formed, you are very wrong.
There are many fields where individuals
have permitted themselves to be the means by which cycles have been initiated,
where those involved have absolutely no awareness of any idea that I, as a
person or a being, have anything whatsoever to do with that which they are
doing. They do not know anything about it, and to those who do not have the
true vision it would seem fantastic and ridiculous for me to suggest that I do
have something to do about it, because in the external sense, shall we say, I
am not in position—nor am I interested, in fact—I am not in position to offer
what would be classified as conclusive proof.
But to those who have any vision here,
it will not seem so fantastic to realize that the cycles initiated were not
limited to that which was directly and personally under my hand in an outer
sense. This is that, moving toward
the fulfilment of the Law in human beings, so that spiritual power might
manifest under control. Concurrently, other cycles were initiated through
individuals who had no awareness of a personal relationship with me and the
program, who had no idea that they were doing anything in relationship to a
cosmic plan, generally speaking anyway, and who had no idea of any endeavor
such as this.
Now I am not in the slightest degree
interested in convincing them that there is any correlation. But if we are to
understand the significance and importance of what we are doing we need to
begin to see it, we need to begin to know, not just from the standpoint of what
I know but from the standpoint of what we
all know, because if this is not seen and accepted and realized, we are
never going to reach the point where we can exert the essential control to
prevent the other cycles, which have been opened up concurrently, from going
clear out of control.
The point is that these cycles that were
opened in various fields, the cycle that developed and came to a head in
relationship to atomic power, that was shaped into atomic bombs and the H-bomb,
etc.—all of these things, they are the result of cycles opened on earth for
which I am responsible. Whether anyone else on the face of the earth knows it
or acknowledges it or not, I am. I am responsible for these cycles that have
opened, the cycles that are working in the field of medicine, in the heart of
the medical profession, cycles that are at work in the armed forces of our
country, cycles that are at work in the realms of government—not just in the
United States, by the way—cycles that are at work in every field of human
endeavor that appears to the world to have any significance or importance.
In every cycle of endeavor which the
world thinks to be important I have a personal responsibility—with respect to
cycles that were initiated and opened and set in motion concurrently with this development
which you share here consciously. And the control factors essential to keeping
those cycles moving correctly depends upon what I get done here. It cannot be
controlled in a direct sense through those cycles themselves.
The control factors have not developed
as rapidly as I had anticipated and they have not developed as rapidly as some
of these other cycles have developed. A number of the cycles that have been
working concurrently with this program are behind us in development, not enough
to make it a matter of concern; they are not pushing us any. But some of them
are getting too much ahead of us. We have reached a point where actually I did
not have any choice left but to bring this to your attention, to help establish
in your consciousness a deeper realization of the real significance of that in
which we are engaged.
Why do you suppose I have had the
attitude I have had with respect to the outworking of all these factors in
diplomatic circles and world controversies? If you look back and analyze it,
you will see that I could not very well have had the attitude that I did have
on any basis other than this, knowing that if we function correctly and
establish the machinery, there would be a control factor beyond and above
anything that the world has conceived of.
From the standpoint of the fulfilment of
the divine plan, it is expected that my part in it, or the relationship between
this and that, will not be known for a long time to come. I am not interested
in establishing any idea of relatedness.
Now if you do not like such a big
responsibility, if you do not like to be associated where this idea exists, or
where the leader has such a fantastic idea, or where there is such a great
responsibility, now is the time to pull out. If you don't want to share it, now
is the time to pull out and sever connections with me, because as far as I am
concerned that is what it is, and whether you are aware of it or have been or
not, it is my responsibility, and if you are going to continue to share this
ministry with me you are going to have to share that responsibility.
If we take a good look at it you will
see, I am sure, that any ideas that just this program right here, immediately
at hand, could somehow, all by its little self, accomplish what has to be accomplished
in the world—that would to my mind be fantastic. I don't think one of you can
look back and say that I said that we were going to have to do it all by
ourselves. I have suggested that there were other people in the world who would
have a part and a share. Perhaps I didn't undertake to tell you just how. But
these other cycles were opened and they have been working concurrently with
this one, with the idea, as far as the divine design is concerned, that this one would develop rapidly enough to
provide the essential spiritual control to keep the others in hand, without
their knowing anything about it. It is not at all essential to the
accomplishment of our purpose that they should know anything about it, at least
not for quite a long while.
But if you look back, I did tell you,
that every activity upon the face of the earth, every church, every school,
every educational institution, every philosophy, the whole works, was in one
way or another—insofar as its initial aspects were concerned, or the truth that
was contained in it was concerned, or insofar as its value was concerned—it was
all a part of the program of the Third Sacred School. Did any of you ever hear
me make a statement to that effect? Certainly you have. But these programs are
moving concurrently. If we had to wait until we reached a point where we had
all the control and could be assured that you and you and you would be in your
place and all completely prepared, and then we would open up these other
cycles, do you know that before we could get to the point of using them you
would be dead? And it would have to be done all over again, and there wouldn't
be any chance of doing what we set out to do.
The only hope of doing the job was to
initiate the cycles concurrently. And there were qualified individuals in the
realm of science, and all of its different phases, etc., to initiate and carry
on these other cycles, and they were used for that purpose. Whether they knew
anything about it or not is beside the point. But it was left to me to personally
oversee the development of the program which should reach the point where the
vibrational or spiritual pattern of control should arise and in season be made
manifest, so that it would be there when the time came when it was needed, so
that these other cycles might be kept in a range of control and accomplish that
which was needed. I am forced to admit that we are not as far along as we ought
to be.
This power that I have been talking to
you about for so long, the spiritual power, the power of the Holy Spirit, can
manifest only on certain controlled conditions. The development of the
counterpart of that power in the physical world has moved on apace and is ahead
of us—atomic bombs, etc. I am not at all concerned about the atomic bombs if we
reach the point where we exert the counterpart power correctly, but if we don't
we will have helped to produce a Frankenstein monster which will destroy us. I'm
not afraid of any such consequence; I just hope that we can get the job done so
that it doesn't happen. Because a lot of people would suffer. A lot of people
that do not need to suffer would suffer. It isn't for myself that I am
concerned; it is for you and a lot of others—millions of them.
It is this counterpart power, in a
spiritual sense, that needs to manifest. God works through human beings and the
natural channels. And do you think you are the only human beings on earth? Not
by a long shot. There are a lot of people out there, and they are doing
something too—the scientists, all of the programs, the atomic power plants, the
UN, and other cycles—they are a part of it. How is this power going to
accomplish so much? By simply working through the human beings who are already
in their respective fields in relationship to control.
Have I ever said anything to you about
control that is important? And did I ever say anything about the secret place,
or heavenly magic, or any of these other things—have I? You are not going to
have to go out and do what Oppenheimer did, or someone else. They have done, or
are doing, their job. It is wonderful. I have watched it with tremendous
interest. Did you ever notice that, that I have an interest in all these things
that are going on? Just casually, as a bystander? No, not at all. It is a part
of my job. They are my people, whether they know it or not, just as much as you
are. They don't have to know it; you do, because you were supposed to provide
me with a means of having a control pattern that would keep them from hurting
themselves and a lot of other people. What they did had to be done.
Some people imagine that the world would
be better off if the atomic bomb idea had never been developed. I don't agree.
It is important. I am not going to tell you how or why, or just what part it is
going to play. Speculation will not get you anywhere. If you become fearful,
that will not help. In human strength alone you can't do a thing in the world
about it, and you know it. Can we do something about it? Is it so fantastic? Am
I just suffering from an hallucination, illusions of grandeur or something, got
an idea that I am much more important than I really am?
My concern is: Am I going to get my job
done in time? If I don't, a lot of people will pay an awful price. It holds
very little gain. It will not be all loss, but it could be a lot more tragic
than it needs to be. There will be some tragedy at best. At best there will be
tragedy; we cannot prevent it all. It is impossible, because there are too many
things outside of the cycles, the primary cycles that are at work, and human
beings are peculiar creatures and we have been pretty slow about getting that
control pattern developed.
How is this control to come, the control
factor in manifestation? I was commissioned to get that into operation. That
was my personal project—control. Have I ever said anything about control,
dominion, kingdom at hand, or any of these related subjects? What was I talking
about? Just words somehow? I was seeking to help you reach a point where you
could intelligently work with me in the discharge of this responsibility, and
if you don't want to share that responsibility, now is the time to get out. If
you do, then I will expect something of you—not just a little but much, not
self-centeredness but selfless service, to the end that this control pattern
will take form and begin to have more meaning.
In spite of all of the uncertain
factors, there has been a good deal of control exerted in the world, whether
you know it or not. A good many things have worked fairly close to the point
that they were supposed to. There has been quite a bit of control, but not
enough, and some of the cycles are getting ahead of us; and if we fail and they
get out of control, then I fail, and that will be that as far as this
generation is concerned, as far as possibly a number of generations are
concerned. Even if a few people survived on earth—and there might very well be
a few here and there—it might easily take quite a while.
I have pointed out that this is man's
last chance, man as we know him, as we have his history for the past five or
six thousand years. It is because man as we know him would not emerge in the
next cycle. It would be somewhat different, but that would be speculation on
your part if you tried to figure out what I mean. But it could easily take
another five or six thousand years to reach a point where we would be this
close to the victory once more, and there could be a lot of suffering in the
interval, and God would have to wait. And even if a thousand years is as one
day to the Lord, who wants to keep Him waiting for even a week? I don't. It is
not my intent.
I am not saying that this is what is
going to happen; I am only pointing out that there will be a tragic result if
we fail and if that control pattern is not made manifest, if we are there with
too little too late. That has been one of the tragic things in the world in the
past in many, many ways: too little too late. What will it be with us? What
will it be with me? We shall see what we shall see.
