The Law Works With Terrible Certainty And Exactness

The  Law  Works  With  Terrible  Certainty  And  Exactness




Anniversary  Meditation


Uranda  September 13, 1953



Having recognized the reality of polarity, under the Law, and the need for centering so that we may truly be with one accord in one place, we need to recognize something of the principles and processes by reason of which our togetherness, in the state of being with one accord in one place, may begin to have meaning. The physical presence of a number of individuals in one place, in one room, does not signify accord; it does not signify togetherness.


As we serve we are dealing with pressure, but pressure, as such, does not cause weariness. Pressure, as such, does not cause difficulties within ourselves. We can deal with pressure without, in any sense, being upset, or disturbed, or limited. It is not the fact that there are pressures in the world, or pressures here or there, but the violation of principle within the scope of the One Body, that causes weariness. Most human beings tend to have a blind spot wherein they fail to see their personal responsibility in the range of violation. This reminds us of the Master's Words:


"Judge not, that ye be not judged, for with what judgment ye judge ye shall be judged, and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again, pressed down, shaken together, and running over."


"With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."


"As ye sow, so also shall ye reap."


"As ye forgive others their trespasses against you, so also shall your Heavenly Father forgive your trespasses. But if ye forgive men not their trespasses against you, neither will your Heavenly Father forgive your trespasses."


Human beings seem to imagine that illumination must relate to some grand and awful secret, some great and mysterious thing, some tremendous outworking. There are great and mysterious things in the cycles of illumination, and I would not detract from those, but we need to begin to realize deeply that illumination relates to some simple things, to some little things.


There are flashes of reaction which tend to appear, there are ill attitudes or harsh attitudes which tend to manifest, which are not always recognized as the violation of these basic principles. Sometimes they seem to be little things, sometimes they seem to be justified, and sometimes the individual acts as if he didn't even know what it was that found expression through himself. He goes on and acts as if it never appeared, and he expects everyone else to act as if it never happened. But where there is a violation of the pattern, it is injecting destructive behavior into the body of the whole, and it cannot be cleared away by merely closing one's eyes to it, by trying to act as if it never happened. Something has to be done to clear the vibration.


There is one thing that has always struck me as being rather strange, rather on the amazing side. Individuals who seem to imagine that they have special license to break the pattern in some fashion, to do something that disrupts the vibratory cycles, say something that is harsh or inconsiderate, some sharp-tongued expression, some lack of control, expect others to just take it. They seem to expect it, because they are that way. But if I started to move on the basis of dealing with them as they deal with others, their howl would reach to high heaven. They would be the ones that would blow up first.


Why does it take so long for people to learn? "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." There has been a stubbornness and contrariness and reactionary expressions, snappy attitudes, right here. I seek to meet such issues in the services, generally. I offer a solution in the services without dealing with the individual on an individual basis, if he will accept it that way. Sometimes people go right on, exactly as if I had never said a word that applied. They've got blind spots, perhaps. They can apply it to their neighbor but not to themselves.





"With what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again." The Law works with absolute certainty. What shall I say? With awful, terrible certainty? It is. With terrible certainty. With wonderful exactness.


Think you that we are going to share the experience of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit while these principles are being violated? No. There will be an outpouring of some spirit but it will not be the Holy Spirit. "Judge not that ye be not judged, for with what judgment ye judge ye shall be judged." Perhaps results will not manifest in the moment. Over and over again, I have seen people when results start coming back. Oh, they are hurt. It starts coming back. They have to pay the price, but they do not like it. The Law works with terrible certainty. With wonderful certainty.


What do you think would happen if, for one week, for seven days, you actually measured every attitude, every word, every thought, every deed, and expressed nothing but that which you were willing to have come back to you, released absolutely nothing in thought or word or deed, in attitude, but what you were willing to have multiplied an hundredfold and have that come back to you? For just seven days? Do you suppose it would make any difference?


It is going to come back; whatever it is, it will come back. Let us be more careful of what we sow. Let us be more careful of what it is that we measure out and ask others to receive at our hands or at our tongues. This is something that any one of you can do in relationship to yourselves. I am not asking you to try to apply it to your neighbor, your husband, your wife, your friend, whoever it may be.


These are the little things that reveal the quality of your service. Maybe you can get by with it for a little while, but are you ready to pay the price? Only the right can secure the right results, step by step. Are you ready to face your responsibility in these things? Until your are, you cannot, will not, share in that greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which we call Illumination. You cannot know what it is to abide in the Shekinah Cloud of Glory, or know the illuminating wonder of the Light that Glows, or touch the unspeakable wonder of the Fire that Burns, until you take this step.


If you think we are not a large enough group to do it, you are wrong. It could be done with just two or three. Let us remember that only as we come to Center and abide in true polarity under the Law, letting the pattern unfold according to the Divine Design, can we be in position to let the Truth make us free. When we are actually living "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," we will be on the Way.


Blessed Ones, I cannot emphasize strongly enough the vital importance of these things. Think upon them. Meditate upon them. Watch yourself concerning them.


I have heard people say, "But I've tried it, and it doesn't work." Oh no they didn't! They did not. They did not let it work, because it does work. We need not labor under the pattern of futility, getting nowhere. If we let it work in ourselves, it will begin to work through us just as surely as the sun rises and sets. It is absolutely certain.





No  Discords


from  The  Shekinah  Fire


Uranda   June 14, 1953



The body of the man or the woman is supposed to be an Ark of the Covenant, a manifestation of the temple of the living God, a specific place that is supposed to be holy and sacred within which no ill vibrational pattern may be found.


Wherever there are stress patterns in the vibrational factor at any level, the evidence of the presence of the One who dwells is withdrawn and only when the patterns of accord and true peace are again made evident can there begin to be the restoration of the manifestation of the evidence of the presence of the One who dwells.


When it begins to appear, we have evidence that the creative field has been maintained, that there have been no adverse vibrational factors, no discords, no resentments, no critical attitudes, no conflicts, no fear, for where these things rule we never see the beautiful glowing light of the cloud of glory revealing the evidence of the presence of the One who dwells.


Human reactions, patterns of attitude such as resentment, and the whirring of the endless rounds of meaningless thoughts, or so-called thoughts, maintain a condition which prevents the manifestation of the light that glows, and the cloud that forms, that in season the cloud may become still more dense, and the glowing light begins to appear as if it were a fire.


As long as human beings are more concerned about the expression and manifestation of their own ideas and concepts and desires, their own pattern of thought and word and action and feeling, than they are of the manifestation of the evidence of the presence of the One who dwells, they will have their reward: the privilege of expressing that which they think they think, which they think they feel, which they think they believe, which they think they wish to do; but none of these things bring peace or satisfaction or the glory of living. Only the futility and the emptiness of the processes of dying.


Remember well that wherever there are vibrations of conflict, resentment, any ill attitudes whatsoever, you keep yourself shut out of the cloud of the Shekinah and contain yourself in the cloud of darkness.


Wherever there are resentments, frictions, conflicts, within or without, within the individual or between individuals, you cannot know the beauty and the wonder, the glory and the peace, of the Shekinah, the manifest evidence of the Presence of the One Who Dwells, everywhere, always.

Thank you, David. What a beautiful and powerful meditation---I read it last evening with deep thanksgiving for Uranda's words and Spirit, but then wondered if and how I could express myself in a few words simple words what I've come to know of what he shares with us in this meditation. I realize the seriousness of the work to be done, being in one accord in one place---not just on a Sunday when we gather together for an hour but in every moment of every day. Truly, human ego function has no place here, ever. The Holy Place is kept sacred. I recognize some of my weak moments in the past, the pressures I've felt and experienced were of my own doing, and weariness was known because of my own violation of principles. But there does come a day, time in life when one will either be WITH IT, or won't. Once known, abiding in the Sacred Place, responsibility is taken. Any pressure felt is easily handled in spiritual expression by giving thanks in ALL things, for the opportunity to deal and handle them correctly. Loving the Lord with all, in body, mind and heart, there is naturally and automatically a doing unto others what we would have them do unto us---it is selfless service; it is unconditional Love. If others don't do same in return, that is perfectly fine, I will not withdraw my Love---the Lord has never withdrawn His Love at ANY time, and here I Am to do likewise: Love without ceasing, do unto others without ceasing...it doesn't hurt to BE this way---the Way of Love---in living and in expression. I love his words: The Law works with absolute certainty. What shall I say? With awful, terrible certainty? It is. With terrible certainty. With wonderful exactness." So, if we or I don't like what comes back we know why. But the point is to always be in that Place in one accord moment by moment of every day. So thankful I am for the power of Uranda's expression in spirit and in words throughout this Anniversary Meditation, and his reminder in the last two paragraphs of "No Discords."
