Each Spirit has a Single Eye
from Only Begotten Son of God
Uranda June 15, 1952
The Holy Ghost must not at any time be confused with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost cannot manifest except by the power of the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Ghost is an individualized aspect of the Holy Spirit working in and through the form of an individual.
We have given some consideration to the Seven Spirits of God, but in order to be sure that we have the pattern well focalized in consciousness I would like now to pause for a few moments to consider this point. We recognize that the Spirit of God is One Spirit, but this One Spirit is made up of many phases of spirit, Seven Focalizations of Spirit, or seven primary aspects of the One Spirit of God.
The Spirit of God is the Christ Spirit. The Christ is the only begotten Son of God, but while the body of God has many members and it has a centering in one Being, the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, who was made manifest on earth through the body of Jesus Christ, God is never to be considered as one Being, except as God is focalized in the LORD of Lords. The only begotten Son of God, however, relates to the Spirit that is made manifest because of the true centering or focalization of all God Beings. The only begotten Son of God is the Christ Spirit. The Christ Spirit was made manifest through the body of Jesus, and so the man Jesus became the Christ, the revelation of the only begotten Son of God. But to think of Jesus the man as the only begotten Son of God is completely erroneous. It does not detract from Him in any way whatsoever to recognize the truth, and only the truth can make us free. So the Christ Spirit is that which issues forth from God—the wholeness of the Spirit of God.
The Christ Spirit can also be used as a term to signify the centering of the Whole Spirit, and it is primarily in this sense that the word Christ is used properly in relationship to Jesus. Many people act as if they thought that the words Jesus and Christ were synonyms. They are not. Christ was not the name of the body of the man Jesus, and to act as if the words Christ and Jesus were synonyms is to show one's ignorance of the truth. Jesus was the name of a man. That man was perfectly centered in His Father, and allowed the revelation of the Father. That particular God Being who was His Father—"The Father who dwelleth in me"—was, and is, the Central Focalization of Deity, or the apex point of all God Beings, and so is the Center of Deity. And that God Being may be spoken of as God, inasmuch as all the members of the body of God, in the invisible sense, are centered in Him. You cannot speak of Him in that sense in a manner which separates Him from that which He focalizes. So the only begotten Son of God does not relate to the body of the man Jesus. It relates to the wholeness of the Spirit of God which was revealed through the body, mind and heart of the man Jesus. And the Christ aspect of the Spirit, signifying the Whole Spirit but primarily that which focalizes the Spirit of God, provided the body of Jesus with the revelation of the only begotten Son of God. The Father dwelling in the body of Jesus, being the Center of all God Beings, was, and is, God, in the sense of that centering; and that which issues forth from the Father, the Centering of Deity, issues forth from all God Beings, and so the wholeness of invisible God, with all the members, releases a Spirit which we call the Spirit of God, or the Christ Spirit.
Those two terms can be used more or less interchangeably, but when we say the Spirit of God we mean the Whole Spirit, without giving any aspect of that spirit dominance. When we say the Christ spirit we mean the whole spirit of God, but in that we give dominance to the aspect of the Spirit which gives focalization to the Spirit itself, and that aspect of the spirit which is so signified is the Spirit of Love. The LORD of Lords, being the Central Focalization of Deity, has the primary responsibility of focalizing the Christ aspect of the Spirit. That means the Whole Spirit, yes, but particularly, in dominant form, the Spirit of Love. We have the Biblical statement, “God is love.” The centering of God Being is the Lord of Love, and so, when we understand the principles involved, we see that God is indeed love—but God is more than love. But the Lord of Love centers all God Beings, and the Spirit of Love centers the Whole Spirit of God.
So the Spirit of God is the Whole Spirit without any aspect of that Spirit being held to be in dominance. The Christ Spirit is the Whole Spirit of God with the centering aspect of Spirit in dominance, and that is the Christ Spirit or the Spirit of the Living Christ. And the Spirit of God, or particularly the Christ Spirit, is the only begotten Son of God, because it is the wholeness of that which issues forth from God; but that Spirit is not, and cannot be, contained in any one body. It was released in pure essence through the body of Jesus, so the Christ was a title given to Jesus in recognition of the fact that the only begotten Son of God was made manifest through the body of the man Jesus.
If we realize these things it will make it easy for us to comprehend the mysteries of God, as the term is expressed in the 10th chapter of Revelation: “The mystery of God should be finished.” We need to have a clear recognition of the fact that the body of the man Jesus was not the only begotten Son of God, but it was the Spirit of God, with the Christ Spirit dominant, which was revealed in essence through the body of Jesus, because the indwelling Father in His case was the centering of all God Beings, which made a revelation of the only begotten Son of God on earth possible. No other Being could have come into the body of a man on earth and revealed the wholeness in essence, with the proper aspect of Spirit dominant, the only begotten Son of God. The God Being made manifest in this body could not come into the world and reveal the essence of the Christ spirit in the sense that was necessary to make possible a revelation of the only begotten Son of God, because in my case the dominant aspect of Spirit is not Love but Truth—the Spirit of Truth. And that would not make possible the revelation of the essence, the Centering Essence, of the only begotten Son of God. So the Lord of Love, the Centering of Deity, was the only God Being who could come into incarnation in the body of a man and release through that body the Centering Essence of the only begotten Son of God.
Human beings have imagined that the body of the man was the only begotten Son of God, which is not at all true. It was the Spirit made manifest through Him which was the only begotten Son of God, and that only begotten Son of God is that which you are invited to share here and now, in this day, according to your capacities. No one of you can, under any circumstance, provide a complete centering essence of that spirit, but all of you together, properly coordinated and centered, can allow that Spirit, which is the only begotten Son of God, an opportunity of manifestation on earth.
That spirit must manifest through our bodies. Spirit without a body has no meaning in the realm of form. Only as Spirit is allowed to manifest through the body of a man or a woman can that Spirit have meaning in the realm of form. And it is on earth that the Spirit of God must of necessity have meaning. So as your body, with its mind and heart, is drawn into the pattern of God's design according to His truth, you become a means by which some phase of the Spirit of God is made manifest. With this small group here it is utterly impossible to allow anything like the absolute wholeness of the Spirit of God in complete manifestation, but we can let enough of that wholeness manifest to allow a great working of the Spirit of God on earth.
I would point out again that it will take 144,000 people, properly coordinated and centered according to the divine plan, in harmony with the Divine Design or the Truth of Being, in order to allow the whole centering of a body on earth through which the complete essence of the Spirit of God, the only begotten Son of God, can manifest. But until we have that 144,000, properly coordinated, we will not have a body on earth which is complete enough to allow a real revelation on earth of the only begotten Son of God.
If these things be realized, it is easy to see that human beings have missed the mark entirely in relationship to the only begotten Son of God, in trying to worship the body of a man. And that man, they think, died—even though He is supposed to have been resurrected from that state of death—but a body of a man that died. That body allowed the manifestation of the only begotten Son of God but was not in itself that manifestation, except in relationship to its Oneness with the Father. That means that the whole realm of Christendom is centering at a point where it cannot possibly receive the true current of the spirit of God which would allow the manifestation of the power of God.
Jesus said to His disciples—the words of the Father through the lips of Jesus—“And ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.” The Holy Ghost is the manifest working of the aspect of the Spirit of God for which you are responsible, which is centered in and working through the pneumaplasmic body of your own being. So the Holy Ghost must not at any time be confused with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost cannot manifest except by the power of the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Ghost is an individualized aspect of the Holy Spirit working in and through the form of an individual, particularly centering and working through the pneumaplasmic body of that individual. So as we yield to the patterns of Truth, let go to the Divine Design, we relinquish that confusion of consciousness which has kept a distorted pattern in the world so long, making human beings helpless and hopeless. We can let the Holy Spirit have true meaning on earth because we allow the Divine Design of Truth an opportunity of manifestation through mind and heart, by reason of which the invisible Spirit coming into manifestation through our bodies may accomplish that which is the Father's will on earth.
We were taught to pray, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” It is only as these truths are recognized that it is possible for us to let the Father's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We see that the confusion of consciousness, of the concepts and ideas about truth and about Jesus, has produced a discordant pattern which was off center, through which the Spirit had to work if it was working through human beings at all. The Spirit worked through those disarranged patterns to some degree, and we have had some little evidence, a tiny evidence, of the working of the Spirit of God through human beings; but it has not been the manifestation of power which could change the world pattern.
In relationship to this point there are the Seven Spirits. The Seven Spirits in their pure form, centered in the Spirit of Love, are: first, the Spirit of Love; the spirit of bringing forth, or the Spirit of the Womb; the Spirit of Life; the Spirit of Purification and sanctification; the Spirit of Blessing, which centers in the Spirit of Truth, because there can be no blessing without the Spirit of Truth, even though you have the Spirit of Love. The Spirit of Love may work through you, but if it is not in conjunction with the Spirit of Truth there will be no blessing. Then there is the Spirit of the Single Eye, and the Spirit of the New Earth. These are the aspects of the Spirit of God which we recognize as the Seven Spirits.
We will not take time now to study these aspects particularly. It is interesting and helpful to meditate on the significance of these various Primary Focalizations of Spirit, and to note how all the different aspects of Spirit that we may know are included in these. For instance, we speak of the spirit of friendliness. That is a sub-aspect which comes into manifestation through one of the aspects of the Seven Spirits. You may meditate on these things and note many wonderful things as you do so.
As your body becomes a means by which the Spirit of God is made manifest your whole body is a means by which the Spirit manifests in the physical realm. Each Spirit has a Single Eye. On the basis of the Single Eye we recognize the relationship of the Spirit to the mind. The working of the Spirit through the heart is something that comes as a subdivision under mind and body, because the heart, or the feeling nature, interpenetrates both mind and body. Therefore we need no special division for that. But we have the three planes indicated, the three outer planes of being: the plane of the physical realm, the physical body as far as you are personally concerned; the plane of the mind; and the spiritual expression plane, or the plane of the Spirit made manifest on earth. So we see that you, having a body and having a mind (when your mind becomes single—that is, allows the development of the Single Eye, as the Master put it: “If thine eye be single thy whole body shall be full of light”), as the Single Eye signifies the centering of your mind, you have in your body and your mind the means by which the Spirit of God can work through you, and you will come under one of these seven classifications insofar as the dominant aspect of Spirit is concerned.
In any individual who is allowing the Spirit of God to manifest, all aspects are present. For instance, in relationship to myself, you have recognized there is the Spirit of Love. Actually, from the standpoint of the dominant aspect, that love comes from the Lord of Love, but in relationship to my own Being, in the sense of the Focalization of Deity, there is love. There is in each one all of the aspects of God, but one of those aspects is dominant. The Focalization of the Spirit of Truth could not be established in relationship to the God Being which I am, which is revealed through this body and mind, except there were in conjunction with it all of the other aspects. In my case the Spirit of Truth is dominant, and it is impossible to have it any other way. When you fulfil the Law and let all of these things work according to their principles, there will be that which is of the wholeness of the Spirit manifesting through you, but it will not be on the basis of the balanced essence of the Spirit through any one of you. It cannot be. There was only One who could manifest in a body on earth and provide that, but you will provide some aspect of the Spirit, some pattern through which the spirits may manifest, and the wholeness of the Spirit is in you as you let God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. One aspect will be dominant, and it takes all of these various designs brought to focus on earth in 144,000 people in order to allow the complete revelation on earth not just of the essence as it was with Jesus but of the wholeness of the only begotten Son of God.
As you realize that you, responding to God as an individual, can have a part in allowing the Christ Spirit, the victorious Spirit of the Living Christ, or the Spirit of God, an opportunity of manifestation so that you become a part of the visible body of God, you see that it includes your body; it includes your mind, which comes to focus as the eye; and it takes care of the spiritual aspect of your being, or the third plane insofar as the outer realm of manifestation is concerned. You begin to have a basis of understanding; not something mysterious, vague and uncertain, but of actual understanding in realization of how it is that you can be a part of the body of Christ on earth.
