The Magnetic Focus
Martin Exeter September 14, 1986 La Sauge, France
Something significant is brought
to focus at this time. On this date, and the date tomorrow and the next day, September 15 and 16, the initiation of this present cycle which
we share took place in 1932. This was an occurrence in the life of one man. It
might be said that the awareness that the door had been opened in heaven
emerged through the consciousness of this one man, Lloyd Meeker—Uranda. Of course the door
had long before been opened in heaven, but there was so much human overlay upon that fact that it had remained as though no door had been opened in heaven.
We are told that back along the
way, a couple of thousand years, the veil of the temple was rent from top to bottom, which is a symbol of a door opened in heaven. However, there wasn't much evidence that this had taken
place. Finally it surfaced in the consciousness of this one man. As far as he was concerned the door was opened in heaven for him. At the time it didn't mean anything to anybody else, but clearly the fact of it has had a widespread influence upon many people in what has subsequently occurred. Once again
there was a conscious awareness of what was meant by the opening of a door in
heaven.
Here was a particular point of
focus which, while it occurred in the experience of one man, had a great deal of significance to all human beings everywhere,
even though at the time virtually no one was aware of it. There always has to
be a beginning point, and while that beginning point was established when Jesus
was on earth it had been hidden subsequently behind a facade of religion. The
fact was that the veil of the temple had been rent—the door had been opened in heaven—and that was available at the time appointed when it might resurface in
human consciousness, which it did. We ourselves have some awareness of the fact
that it did in our own experience.
I touch on these matters of history not because it is that important now but because it provides a basis of orientation in something very large that is taking place. I doubt if there is an adequate awareness as yet as to the immensity of what it is that is happening. There is something knocking at the
door insofar as all people are concerned. Those who have something in them
which responds rather than reacts to the knock on the door begin to move with
it, and somewhere along the way a person will awaken to the fact that he simply cannot help but move with it—there is an awareness that the compulsion is such that there is no choice but to move with it.
As this occurs the rent in the veil of the temple enlarges. This is something that occurred in the experience of Uranda as initiator of the process. It had to be initiated in him to have any meaning. The procedure, insofar as he was concerned, was to do what was needed, then he had something to say. We have all been blessed by what he had to say because it opened the door of heaven in our own experience if we were willing to let ourselves move with it. Finally the point is reached by those who are in the process of being compelled, where one will admit that one is being compelled and that one has no choice in the matter at all—they are consciously aware of this compulsion which arises subconsciously. It is arising
subconsciously in every individual human being on the face of the earth and each one has his own response or reaction to it. We
share something which surfaces through people—they begin to become conscious
of it. It happened with Uranda, and he provided a point of focus for the
development of what needed to happen, which had never happened before on earth.
It was without precedent: namely that there should be a group, or a body of
people, who would move in a coordinated way with this emerging creative
process, being compelled to do so. This compulsion is strong and it does not involve human choice. This is something that is emerging through all of us and we are here to allow it to have freedom of emergence without resisting it, without trying to stop it happening.
It is emerging here because of people, not because of the place. The place will be filled with the radiant substance of the people who are associated with it, and then the place begins to carry increasing significance on that basis. Most of you are aware of various
locations on the surface of the earth that carry significance because there
have been people involved with the process for many, many years. And that carries an
atmosphere, so that anyone who comes there for whatever reason is affected by
that atmosphere. They are either delighted with it and they want to stick
around or they want to get out of there as soon as they can. There are these two elements involved here—attraction
and repulsion. This occurs because of what may be called a creative field. It is
similar to a magnetic field. There must be a magnet if there is to be a
magnetic field. If there is a magnetic field, what is attracted into that field
will reveal what the design of the magnetic field is. The heaven is there
first, the magnetic field is there first, and then what relates to that
magnetic field will fall along the lines of force. This is the way our own physical forms were created. There was a creative field established for each one of us, and the substance formed along those lines. There is present a magnetic focus: the parts of our bodies fit together; we don't flow all over the place. There is a design which transcends
the earthly heredity design and is available for the substance of body and mind
and heart to begin to reform along the lines of force. Of course the substance
must be amenable to this. So we find, as there are people who provide a focus for this, that something emerges through them and through their location. Fundamentally, if one allows what is happening to continue to happen one will provide a point of focus wherever one happens to be, and things will begin to form around that positioning.
Part of the process is that this
should not happen merely with respect to one person, as it did for instance
with respect to Jesus. The disciples certainly never permitted a coordinated
body to appear—there was disintegration and something else emerged, entirely different. It certainly did not emerge on the basis of the true design in heaven but was a design thought up by human beings on earth. So we have
Christianity, which is not at all what was brought on earth and is not the door
that was opened in heaven. This has been the historical
process that has been going on, until finally the door opened in heaven was
once again the experience of someone. But the intent was not that it should be the experience merely of someone, but that it should be the
experience of a collective, unified body of people who would let themselves
form on the lines of force established by the creative process—not trying any more to do their own futile thing.
We have noted the graphic words in
the 24th Psalm: “The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world,
and they that dwell therein” as a statement of fact. Mind you, human beings do
not agree with that. They say, “The earth is mine, to do with as I please.” We
have had the intention to let the earth be returned to the Landlord and let the world that is established on earth be His. For this
to happen there must be human beings who are willing that it should. Let us permit this creative process to
work. And it is! And we know it is because it puts things
together—draws people together in spite of themselves. Because there was this compulsion which was irresistible it had to work out. The creative process is working and it is compelling: Come into line—line up on the invisible lines of force.
There is the magnetic force
drawing, and here are the lines of force and people form up on them in this
way. There begins to be a collective, unified body through which the Landlord
can take possession of His earth and create the world that belongs on the
surface of this earth. It can't be done by human minds. It can't be done by human emotions. It can't be physically done. It is done spiritually. It is done invisibly because the
heaven is there and the door is opened in heaven. When the door is opened in heaven we begin to be aware of what
it is that is present in heaven, what the nature of the design is. And things begin to come together. A door is opened in heaven. The magnet is present, the lines of force are present. All that is
emerging out of the invisible—but the visible begins to reflect what is
emerging out of the invisible. The lines of force begin to reveal themselves
because there are those who find themselves delineating them. But in order for
that to happen there must first be the magnet here on earth where the job needs
to be done. We have had opportunity to participate in the experience of that magnet in the recognition that there is a field of force within the magnet. When the magnet is magnetized by reason of our own living—we are the coils through which the current of life flows (it is an electromagnet, by the way) to magnetize the magnet, which is one's own physical form, or this collective form—then there begins to be a magnet. And when the magnet is there the field of force is there.
Now this magnet emerges through many people in many locations. There is significance to the locations because of the people. It comes because of people in very significant ways—it isn't a haphazard business.
There is something quite specific happening. There is a vast change occurring
throughout the body of mankind, but that change comes because there is the
focus provided in the magnet. If the magnet isn't there things swirl back and
forth and eventually there is no more life. Now there is something without
precedent occurring, something vast. It seems to take a little while for human
minds and hearts to have enough space to comprehend the largeness of what it is
that is happening, so it has been coming in increments. But gradually the
magnet puts in an appearance and there is the way by which all who will are drawn
along the lines of force. This is a different kind of leadership.
God is right here, coming through
His individual angels, who are sent forth into all the earth to gather the
elect, but the gathering comes because there is a magnet and there are the lines of force. There cannot be a magnet without angels in action in human form. Then there is a magnet, then there are lines of force, and there is a drawing power—the irresistible drawing power and the
irresistible repelling power. It separates—there are those who are drawn and
there are those who are repelled. We don't have to judge anyone, ourselves included. Just let it happen and find out. What a wonderful privilege it is to participate in allowing an expansion to occur of this basic magnet.
It works, and it is discovered finally that it is true that the earth is the Lord's, and the
fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. The earth is the Lord's. It belongs in the whole, the universal whole—part of the whole
operation. And we have rightly, as man, a part to play in that. Man is essential to that operation as it relates to this earth. But let him come back, let me come back. That is all that is required. One has to let it happen for oneself. Letting it happen for oneself, the magnet is present, the lines of force are
there, and the job is done.
We play our parts together
individually in allowing the increase of life to be the experience, that the
body which is forming may have life and have it more abundantly. Then there may
be this facility available to the One to whom it really belongs, the One who
said a long time ago, “This is my body.” People have been repeating the theory
instead of providing a purified body, a sanctified body, in which the One whose
body it is may live and move and have His being on earth.
