Dare To Walk In The Flame
from Remember
Who You Are
Uranda January 10, 1949
In
the expression of the Prophets of old time, we find a record of various
statements, to the effect that the Lord would sift His people as wheat, the
chaff would be blown away—or the Master put it as the division between the
sheep and the goats—various ways, all the same thing. They are described as
earthquakes, shakings in various ways, pressure points. It means that we have
to dare. As much as possible, I want each one to go into it with eyes open. We
have to dare to walk in the Flame—step into the Fire. Once we do there can be
no turning back safely. Any turning back then is very, very disastrous—for he
who is in the Flame and becomes fearful, and starts to turn back is consumed by
the Flame. I do not want any tragedies; and tragedies, if they do occur, always
bring a long string of complications that involve all concerned in needless
difficulties—and such things delay, and delay is dangerous. I have sought, in
every way I know, to impress on the Unit the fact that this is not a child's game.
It is something deadly serious.
Now, as to the Nucleus function, it
does not vary greatly from that function to which you have already been gently
lead. It is not any great divergence from what has already been established,
and the points of focalization and Radiation must be kept simple and direct.
The simplified point of Truth in Radiation is like the point of the sword. It
is that which drives home. The rest follows. It is that which penetrates and
which has the power of penetration. I have used the Principle with all of you
or you would not be here. In innumerable instances each one of you has
responded in Love and Faith and Hope, without really knowing why, without
really understanding what was taking place, without any clear realization of
just what was going to happen next. Your movement in such a case was not
something calculated, from the standpoint of your own minds. It was not
something that you deliberately determined to do on a basis of some idea that
you saw it all clearly and satisfied all the questionings of your minds, etc.
The vibrancy of your Response in Love and in Faith and in Hope stilled the
questioning of the mind. Love cast out fear; Faith cast out unbelief; and Hope
gave courage.
There have been times when, after
an advance on such a basis, you have looked back more or less amazed, wondered
about it some as to just how it happened, or why—and sometimes there has been a
little hint of fearfulness that crept in, a little tendency to questioning. If
you did not immediately let the questioning of the mind be stilled through
Faith, if you did not immediately let the Current of Response be strengthened
through Love Response, you found yourselves in trouble, and, being in trouble,
the consciousness of Hope tended to vanish; and consequently there was a
tendency to lose courage or become discouraged. It is as simple as that. Each
one of you has experienced these phases or steps of movement forward where you
were carried without any consciousness of volition on your part, without any
clear realization of just what was happening, over obstacles, or up steps, as
it were, simply by reason of your Love that held the Polarity and cast out
fear, your Faith that kept the outer mind still, and your Hope that gave you
the courage to let it be so. Many times you yourselves have not understood, for
a considerable time afterward anyway, and perhaps to some degree do not yet
understand, but you know that that is so. Others, seeing something of it, have
in various ways judged you because they did not understand.
Love Response must establish Polarity
and cast out fear; Faith must still the questioning of the mind, so that, as it
were, the mind is for the moment blindfolded, simply willing to be lead; and
Hope, which springs eternal in the human breast by the Grace of God, gives the
courage essential to the doing. Generally speaking, when there is courage, in
such function the individual involved has absolutely no consciousness, at the
moment at least, of the fact of courage. He may look back on it afterward with
amazement and feel some little reaction with respect to it perhaps, but it was
there at work, generally speaking, without his having the faintest conscious
thought of courage as such at the time.
When first Kathy began to function
in her Point of Focalization and move into it, I told her a good many times:
“Remember who you are.” I pointed out to her that in any situation where she
might tend to get flustered, or feel to be off her base, or anything that would
disturb the effectiveness of her function or her tranquility, if she would
always remember that point it would help her maintain effectively her Point of
Polarity.
Always Remember Who You Are
That involves remembering Who you belong to, which
involves remembering what your position is in relationship to the LORD of
Lords—and to me. It involves remembering your Divine Calling—but that is my
concluding Word to you tonight. Always Remember Who You Are. If you find yourself getting into
difficulties, do not rush in blindly, do not try to fight your way through
something. Back up a little, so to speak, step back from the situation,
remember your Polarity in Love, your Faith and your Hope—the three things that
give meaning to you as individuals. Without those three things, you tend to
become meaningless—Love, Faith and Hope.
If necessary, meditate for a moment
about what I have said tonight about Love, Faith and Hope, and in that
meditation remember Who you are.
Remember the dignity, the nobility, that is natural to your Calling. Remember
Who you are, and you will always remember that you are never alone. Remember
Who you are, and you will always know the Spirit of that Central Point with
which you are identified—and you will find that in remembering Who you are the
Current of Being in the LORD of the Sacred Seven and the Lord of the Sacred
Three is indivisible, one and the same, and in that Spirit your expression of
life will reveal Who you are—but you cannot reveal in your life expression Who
you are if you yourself forget Who you are.
So, I bless you and enfold you In
that Peace which is of our KING, that Peace which passeth all human
understanding. In all things Let the
Will of the Father Be Done. That is
the focus of the Creative Word for which you are responsible. This is that
which is established IN the Christ, and has been since before the Foundation of
the world.
