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.
