Focalization — Cosmic Reality
from Moses and Jethro
Uranda May 6, 1953 Class
The pattern of Divine action is always
revealed on the basis of the principles at work in the invisible Body of God in
relationship to focalization. Man has suffered these thousands of years of misery,
suffering, sorrow and death, because of his refusal to accept the reality of
focalization. The principles of focalization should then be clearly established
in consciousness, and it is only as you function in harmony with the principles
of focalization that you can possibly achieve that to which you are called,
that you can accomplish that for which you came into the world.
We recognize, for instance, that
every God-being contains or has within himself or herself, the primary factors
that are present in all other God-beings. In other words, we can look at one human
being and say that if that person is normal physically, mentally, emotionally,
that that person has within himself or herself, all the primary factors that
are present in all other human beings. But if we are going to consider all
human beings as having equal patterns of expression, if we are going to
disregard the focalization principle, we will be in the position of saying that
we have only a thin line; there is no high point, no bottom point, we have a
thin line and all of those who are on the line, whether you are considering ten
people or a hundred or a trillion, would make no difference; you simply have a
line and that line if it is going to withstand any pressure, has to be as
strong at any given point as the need may require, just a thin straight line.
There is nothing to reinforce anyone, except perhaps grabbing hands in the line
and one has a special pull of pressure, and the individual then, must be in
position at any point, or individuals at all points must be equally in position to provide all things necessary for
any contingent. Each person must be equally capable of accomplishing anything;
each person must be equally capable
of doing, speaking, comprehending and functioning. In other words, every
individual must be whole, complete and equal with every other individual so
that each one, as an individual, separate and by himself, can do anything that
needs to be done.
Of course, once we begin to
analyze it we see that such a thing is utterly ridiculous. It is not true in
Heaven above, it is not true in the earth or under the earth, it is not true
anywhere in all the Cosmos, but it would make every individual independent of
every other individual, fully responsible in a personal sense for all that
should come to pass in relationship to himself and he, by himself, would be
supposed to be able to do anything that might be required in the creative
cycles of all eternity all by himself.
Now once we begin to realize that
while, basically speaking, all primary factors are present in all God-beings,
we see that with respect to any God-being some primary factor must
be dominantly supplied on the basis of focalization in order to give meaning to
that factor in other people, to emphasize it and let it be activated. Now you cannot activate without two or
more people. There has to be a positive and a negative pole. The individual who
is isolated has no meaning regardless of his potentialities; he has no
immediate meaning, and it is only what he does in relationship to others that
gives his life meaning.
If you take the position that
focalizations are not necessary, then you take the position that you refuse to
be a focalization and anyone who refuses to be a focalization denies the potentiality
of his own being. You cannot deny the principle of focalization in relationship
to someone else and accept it for yourself.
Now we will consider for instance,
the LORD of Lords, for a moment. He has within Him as the apex of Deity insofar
as we are concerned, all of the aspects of being—Love, Truth, Life, everything—capacity,
quality, comprehension, ability. But segregate Him from His position in the
vibrational sense, and while He would have some particularized potential that
others might not have, He would at once become meaningless, because the meaning
that the LORD of Lords has is the meaning that the other God-beings give him.
He was selected, shall we say, for that place—I will not attempt to explain
how—because of the particular factors involved in His own being. His particular
qualifications for the job, because all of those God-beings who were to be focalized
in Him agreed and accepted, and because it was agreed and accepted from the standpoint
of a higher factor of focalization in the Cosmic reality of Deity. But, the actual
manifestation of His potential could not appear until the other God-beings gave
it to Him; He did not have it of Himself. He had the qualities necessary to the
doing of the job, yes; but if He was going to be a focalization, the meaning of
that focalization was established by those who were focalized—not by Himself.
Now there are other focalizations
in the Cosmic scheme of things, in fact, every person, everywhere, is supposed
to be a focalization factor—in several respects, in fact. And every God-being is
a focalization factor, or provides it. But once we begin to see that the
principle of focalization must be accepted—and in principle at least,
comprehended—before we can understand the principles of right function, of letting
the Father do the works so that the human mind and heart are not constantly
getting in the way and spoiling it, we recognize that the LORD of Lords; whom we speak in of as the Lord of Love,
contains within His being the factors of Truth and Life and so-on. But the
central core of all things is Love. The central core of the Spirit of God, the force
of being, all things that are, in fact, is what we speak of as Divine Love. Then
the individual who is going to provide the over-all focalization must be the
focalization of Love. That means that the dominant factor in His being, in the
expression and function of Himself, must be Love. Everything else is present,
yes, all of it; but the dominant factor is Love and His dominant function in
relationship to all God-beings then, is on the basis of the core of being—Love.
Now that means that if we took all
of these God-beings and segregated them somehow, separated them vibrationally
speaking, the capacity they have in the presence of the reality of Love would
be virtually meaningless. But once we have a focalization point and all of
these God-beings let their love be centered in the point of center, it is multiplied
and increased and intensified at center until there is a positive point in
relationship to all God-beings and the value and the meaning of every God-being
is increased because of it. In other words their love can begin to mean
something.
Without that focalization, their
love would mean nothing. They would all have some love, they would all have a
capacity of love, they would all have all the basic factors, but if some
God-being tried to function without regard to that focalization, his basic
factors would immediately become meaningless, of no value; he could not
accomplish anything in a creative sense. The only way there can be true
creative expression at any time, under any circumstance, is by reason of
focalization.
We can take the same principle in relationship to Truth. There must be a focalization of
the Body of Love—which is Truth. That point of focalization must accept the
overall or the dominant point of focalization, the LORD of Lords, and be His
servant, be subject to Him, be completely responsive to Him. But someone has to
have the responsibility of maintaining the dominant factor of Truth as such—not
the dominant factor of Love; that is already taken care of. Now we are
considering the dominant factor of Truth.
The Truth aspect that is present
in individuals as such, can have meaning and have expression as the individual
God-beings or human beings, inner or outer, accept the reality of focalization.
If they reject the reality of focalization they reject their own capacity to
function in Truth, and they will always, as twenty thousand years of history
proves, go off on tangents, have false concepts, and spoil the pattern of their
lives. The only way that Truth, in any human being, can mean anything is for
that human being to function on the basis of the focalization. That includes
the point of focalization itself, because whether it is the point of focalization
or some other part in the Body of Truth, only by reason of focalization can the
Truth in any God being or any human being, have any meaning, any control.
Why did human beings lose dominion?
God created man in the beginning to have dominion over the earth; not over
Heaven. Man is supposed to have dominion over the earth and all the things that
are therein. Man does not have that dominion. He has worked for thousands of
years to try to produce a substitute control. Man is rather proud of himself in
some respects, on that point, but all we have to do is look at the world
pattern and see that it is not even a start—not a beginning. Why? Because human
beings have refused to bring their capacities to function in Truth into the
pattern of the focalization of Truth.
Now if we recognize the
focalization of Love, does that mean that the focalization of
Love is the only one that can have any Love or know any Love? No. The fact of
focalization makes it possible for everyone in the focalization to have more love and to let that love have some
real meaning so that it can be a creative Fire and accomplish that which it is
supposed to. The focalization does not ever, under any circumstance, take
anything away from those focalized, but adds to them because of the reality of
the overall pattern that is focalized. It is not because the point of focalization
has it all, as such, but because once that point of focalization is established
and accepted vibrationally, from the standpoint of the God-beings, it does not make
any difference whether human beings accept it or not, it is not going to change
the point of focalization. If God established it, man cannot change it no
matter what he does. The thing for man to do then, is to accept what God has
established, the points of focalization as well as the other factors involved.
So the very fact that we have a focalization
of the core in the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, makes it possible for us to
know the working of Love as we could not possibly know it if we tried, each
one, to be the whole cheese in a long thin line; nothing to back each other up,
nothing to really give each other support, provide control. Truth contains the
control and the design factors. And until man accepts the pattern of
focalization, a centering through Love, and the control and design factors
through Truth, he cannot live because we have recognized that it is the union of
Love and Truth that makes the reality of Life. Life appears where Love and
Truth have union, individually, collectively, in the overall pattern. And so
the union, the oneness, the coordination, however you want to put it, of the
focalizations of Love and Truth, must be a reality, so that the control factors
are available in the vibrational sense. Once they are available in the vibrational
sense, man can share them. Man cannot produce them, he cannot change the Divine
pattern. He can refuse to accept it and go empty through his period of
existence or he can accept it and share all of the things of Heaven. He can
begin to let the Ordinances of Heaven be established in the earth.
And until we begin to recognize
that acceptance of the focalization of Love makes it possible for you to use
your capacity of Love to the full, and the manifestation of Love through you
then begins to be what God intended it to be. And the acceptance of the
focalization of Truth allows the Truth to manifest through you according to
your capacity and place of function, service, and is that which gives us coordination,
it is that which allows us to support each other, it is that which makes possible the manifestation of the immovable object through which the irresistible
force is operating.
You see, in reality—and that, is the only place where there is an immovable object
and an irresistible force—in reality the irresistible force and the immovable
object are never at cross-purposes, they always work together, for the irresistible
force works through the immovable object, the only one there is, and that
immovable object is established upon the patterns of support, coordination,
unification, symbolized by the triangle, and it is because of the creative
triangle that man has a three-phased pattern of being.
Now if any of you feel that this
principle is not really very important, suppose we all go out and get a stone—each one have two stones, each weighing about a pound.
Put them in your hands and hold them at arms length; not for just a minute, not
for just five minutes, not for just an hour; all day long from sunrise to sunset,
stand there and hold one pound in each hand on a line. Do you think you could
do it? You know you could not. The strongest of you could not. Now, no matter
how strong you think you are, you could not do it. But begin to utilize these
principles here, of the creative triangle, and could you hold up two one pound stones
if necessary, from morning until night? It might be a little nuisance just to prove
it, but you could do it; any of you, the weakest of you could do it.
There is the distinction. And the
person who tries to be everything all by himself is revealing his own weakness
and determining the fact that he is going to continue to be weak; for we can be
strong only in relationship to each other and if we are going to be, in
relationship to each other, there must be a design, there must be an organized
pattern in order for it to have any meaning, and the organized pattern, the
design, is contained in Truth and the Truth of the creative triangle, the Truth
of focalization—all the factors that are involved. And so once we begin to see
that the focalization of Love and the focalization of Truth make possible the
manifestation of the focalization of Life, we begin to see the creative triangle
in relationship to the three points of being and then, once we begin to
recognize those points of focalization and function in relationship to them, we
can begin to let our capacities be used the way they should.
There begins to be a control pattern—we begin to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, the control pattern and the
design that is at hand, the Ordinances of Heaven begin to be established and set
in the earth in relationship to us and because of the fact that all who are
functioning in relationship to Truth are backing us up in our function, we can begin
to have some meaning. The focalization at the point of the apex of the triangle
can have no meaning unless he is backed up by response. But all of this that is so focalized—if you are a part of
it—then it is likewise focalized in you in the expression of your life, and you
are not working alone and independently. You are a part of the whole and that
point which you bring to focus is the point backed
up by the whole thing, complete, so that the expression of Truth through
you, for instance, or Love, manifests in relationship to what you need to do
with the whole force of God behind it and the whole force of all the human beings
on earth who share the pattern.
If you think you can become a
focalization for the working of God’s Love and Truth without accepting the
focalizations of Love and Truth, you are wrong. This is the reason why
there has been twenty thousand years of misery and suffering and sorrow. Man
has not learned, not just to accept, but to eagerly welcome the reality of focalization
so that he can begin to share in the creative works of God and be a
focalization in expression and manifestation of that which he shares according
to his or her own proper life pattern. Once that is seen you begin to know what
it is you are supposed to conform with, conform to. The vibrational pattern is
established in the Heavenly realms and you cannot change it. If you do not like
it, it is just too bad. It is not going to be changed to suit your whim or
fancy. Millions of people have died trying to
change it, but they have not succeeded. So the best thing to do is to accept it
the way it is, the way God made it.
There is plenty of evidence that
it is so, plenty of Truth to support the fact that can be readily comprehended—and
if you are going to let increased power manifest through you in any level of
life, it must be because you are sharing the responsibilities and the functions
of focalization, and without them you cannot be what you ought to be.
