In the Twinkling of an Eye

Whatever human beings may do that is contrary to the Divine Design that tends to produce a distortion is wrong, and needs to be nullified. Whenever we begin to let the patterns of distortion have effect in our lives we are producing, by the use of our bodies and our facilities, our minds and hearts, we are producing by reason of our opportunities that which makes the world an ugly place, unlovely, unsatisfactory, that increases suffering, turmoil, discord. But these same capacities of body and mind and heart can be used to bring forth the manifestation of that which is beautiful, lovely, wonderful, that carries blessing to all who will receive. The way in which our capacities are used, in actual fact, determines our value in relationship to reality. If our capacities are being used to produce discord, unloveliness, ugly things, then we depreciate ourselves — we make ourselves to be of less value.
Your value — your value from the standpoint of the King and the Kingdom — depends on what you bring forth, what manifests because you live. If you are producing ill things you depreciate, devaluate yourself and make yourself to be of little consequence. Man was made, or created, brought forth to be a means by which dominion, control, might be exerted on earth in relationship to physical substance. God has a means of providing control in the invisible realms; that is, in the realms that are invisible to us. Those realms have form that are meaningful in those levels of Being, but without man God has no means of establishing dominion in this realm. Man has refused to be the means of control, and then has blamed God because there was no control, because things happened as if by chance, because ill things resulted, evil is made manifest, suffering, misery, sorrow — all the things that lead to death. And they blame God; but God is not to blame. He provides all things necessary all the time, whether we use those things or not. They are at hand, within our reach, at the point where the future is becoming visible to us every moment of every day. And what do we do with that?
We used a few illustrations today that will bear repeating, because they need to penetrate deeply into consciousness. Change is absolutely certain. Things are going to change! How? For the better or for the worse? Things are going to change. Change is certain! That’s a starting point. We are not necessarily, we do not have to be, creatures of fate, so to speak, creatures of chance, hoping that the changes will be better for us, but not being certain. But changes are taking place. It’s not a question of whether changes will take place — they are taking place! It is a question of what is going to control in relationship to these changes. Will that control be according to the Divine Design of Truth or will it be according to the distortions that manifest on earth in human beings? If we do not know how to stop producing distortions, we are going to be on the degenerating side, gradually wearing down, slowing down, ready to drop off and be gone. But if we are living at the right point, centered in the right control, according to the right design, that isn’t true. We can let the past go into the past without a bit of concern, because we are attuned with that which is coming out of the future from God and we are letting it have form; and the dominion, the control of God is established in relationship to that which is taking form.
The human being wants to see it manifest all at once. It doesn’t work that way. The only way is to use the Original Pattern that came from the hand of God — the Pattern established in Truth. And once we begin to let the changes that take place in the body be measured, shaped, controlled according to the Original Pattern we’ll be all right. We can nullify the wrong vibrational factors in our own bodies and in the bodies of others. How are you going to nullify the influence of the old pattern? You start using the Original one. You say, “Well, I don’t know the Original one. I never saw it. I can’t comprehend it.” No, I know. So, there is a way by which it begins to work without any more understanding than you have tonight. Any of you, young or old, it doesn’t make any difference. It is there for you if you will let it be. The Pattern is Truth. The Pattern is the Divine Design, and the control centered there. And there is a point of centering provided for you, if you will use it. If you try to do it on your own, that means that you personally must become aware of the Divine Design, the Original Pattern for yourself. You must learn how to function in relationship to it regardless of all the pushings and the pullings of circumstance, regardless of what happens. There is a point of centering provided for you, where the Pattern is, if you will accept it — already established.
You can begin to let that design that you are so familiar with, with respect to yourself, pass away. It will take place gradually. We wouldn’t want it to happen all at once. You wouldn’t know yourself. It would shock your mind so completely that you’d lose your balance. It would destroy you. It’s not supposed to happen all at once. You may say, “Well I thought these things would happen in a moment. In the twinkling of an eye, and we shall be changed, it says.” Yes, some of the final changes will work out very speedily, but you have to let the basic changes work out first, so that you are centered in consciousness, otherwise your consciousness couldn’t take it.
There is another thing. You are being changed in the twinkling of an eye, now. Every change comes in the twinkling of an eye. How big is the change? Do you want it with respect to your whole body all at once, in the twinkling of an eye? If you do, it will probably nullify you. And we’re not out to nullify you. We are out to help you come into the Pattern of what you are supposed to be. So, every change comes in a twinkling of an eye, in a moment, in the instant. I don’t care how little it is or how big it is. Every change, actually — you may not see it for a while, but its been taking form.
You may see a young person, and then see that young person again, boy or girl, a month later and you say, “My how you’ve grown.” You see the change that took place in a month because you weren’t watching it every day. The parent may be aware of it but it tends to come to a point where he takes it for granted. After a while he wakes up, and my, you see your own child and suddenly you are aware of the fact of how tall he or she is, how big, how this, how that. You become aware of the fact that changes have been taking place. But that change that you observed didn’t take place all at once. You became aware of it in a moment but it was taking place all the time.
And every little change, every little cell coming in, every little cell going out — in the twinkling of an eye! Instantaneous things are going on in you all the time. Little changes, quick little changes, so tiny you don’t see them, but they are going on, changing all the time. Changing to what? The degenerated pattern or the Original Pattern. If you will let the factors of the degenerate pattern be nullified and respond to the basic principles of the Original Pattern you will find that you begin to be aware of them. But you will reach a crisis point in your body, in your mind, in your heart. And what do you do under a crisis point? Revert to the old pattern? Do the same old thing in the same old way, the minute the pressure of the crisis pattern appears? If you do, it goes down, and down, and down and gets worse, and worse, and worse.
When the crisis comes, what do you do? Stay true to the Divine Design. Stay true to the Truth, and trust regardless. There may be a physical hurt, there may be a mental hurt, there may be an emotional hurt — if you react to the hurt the old pattern is in control. If you hold true to the new Pattern, when the crisis comes everything will speedily change to the new Pattern and you are on the way to restoration. Crisis patterns do not ordinarily last longer than three days. Three days — three days in the tomb — three days for a crisis pattern. But generally speaking human beings won’t even hold steady for three minutes under a pressure. Something wrong, and they react, they don’t like this; they become subject to the wrong thing and immediately the old pattern is in control and the changes take place according to the old pattern. The dominion of Truth was not permitted to manifest.
Physical suffering, a physical crisis, a mental crisis, an emotional crisis — every one of you will have crises on every level. What will you do? Revert to the old pattern? All right, you are going down, going down and out. Hold true to the True Pattern, true to the Truth, and the old pattern will be nullified. The changes that take place in the crisis period when the changes are moving rapidly — there you have the privilege of resurrection. Three days, when the pressure comes. Can you be trusted to hold steady for three days, no matter what the suffering? No reaction, no subjection to the old pattern.
These things come gradually, a little at a time according to your capacity, at first. At first, it is generally measured according to your capacity, to give you a chance to get polarized and stay put. But if you break every time there’s pressure you will never go through the resurrection, you will never know the restoration to the Original Pattern, the Original Design. That’s what resurrection is — movement from the old pattern, the degenerate pattern, the distorted pattern to the Original Design for you — God’s Original Design, regardless of what you were born with, regardless of what’s happened to you anywhere along the line.
Now the purpose of attunements, the purpose of our whole Ministry, is to help you through those cycles of change — physically, mentally, emotionally — until you respond to the Original Pattern, and conform to it. But it won’t work unless you learn to be true to the Truth. As long as you are dishonest, true to the ill thing — it is always dishonest to be true to the ill thing. If you are true to the ill thing you are being dishonest with God and the Original Pattern. Do that and you go down, maybe slowly, but it will keep on going down. It will never change the tide. We might hold it a little while, we may keep it from going down so fast, but down it will go — regardless of attunements, regardless of anything I do or anyone else does — down it will go. That’s a fact. It can come up just as easily — in fact with a great deal more pleasure, satisfaction and joy, moving constantly into the Original Pattern of the Divine Design. Up or down? Resurrection or degeneration? Restoration or decay? That’s the choice.
Intercession, nullification, yes — because along the way you will do things and say things inadvertently, unwittingly, ignorantly, that are being true to the wrong pattern, and only as those are nullified, and you let it be done, can you learn to let it be true to the Truth. But if you say, “I am this way; I have this limitation; I have this characteristic; I have this feeling; I have this attitude; I have this problem” — you have identified yourself with it and you are going to stay with it if it kills you. And it will. Make your choice. You can let all of these old things go. You identify yourself with what is going and you will go with it, sooner or later, no matter how you cling to life, no matter how you try to do it. The body you have is going to pass away. But you don’t have to go with it.
Let yourself be centered in the Original Pattern. Come under dominion, under control, and the dominion will begin to manifest through you so that you can have meaning, value, to the King. Not depreciating yourself, but letting your value increase to the Glory of our King and the blessing of our fellows. Which shall it be?

The Kingdom Made Manifest
from Functional Reality
Uranda July 23, 1953 Class
We have recognized that we are not supposed to be subject to the various conditions round about us, whether we classify them as good, bad or indifferent. We recognize that we cannot be instruments of control in any real sense until we have come under the control of the Kingdom of Heaven that is at hand. We have recognized that Truth is the abstract design and potential of control in relationship to the Kingdom, which is the form of Truth made manifest.
The Kingdom of Heaven at hand, made manifest on earth, is in reality the Truth given form and function on earth in the realm of physical substance. Thy Kingdom come — the manifest form of Truth, in design and control, allowed to come into expression, into action, into being on earth. And as we have realized that Heaven and Earth are One, and we only need to come into awareness of the basic Truth that it is so, we see that the invisible vibrational factors that give form to Truth in Heaven provide the Spirit, or Essence of Being, by which the Truth may be given form on Earth as the Kingdom. Whenever we say the Kingdom we mean Truth made manifest in form, in relationship to both design and control.
If your hand is functioning in the right control and if the design of your hand has not been impaired by distortions of some kind, so that you can move your hand correctly, it can function correctly, then your hand is a part of the Kingdom made manifest — that is, of course, providing the control is in harmony with Truth — if the hand is used for the purposes of the King. Then your hand, in such a case, is a part of the actual physical manifestation of the Kingdom, in fact. If that is true of your hand it is true of your whole body, it is true of your mind, it is true of your emotional nature.
Whatever there is in physical form that is correct in design, that is not subject to distortion, and that functions on the basis of the control of Truth, is a part of the manifest expression or revelation of the Kingdom of God on Earth. So, we recognize that Truth, invisible Truth, must be given visible form, and our bodies are the starting point for the manifestation of that form.

The Pneumaplasmic Body of Our Solar System
from History Ages
Uranda March 23, 1953 Class
We have made brief reference to the Tabernacle as it was utilized at the time of the Children of Israel and their wanderings in the wilderness and later in the Promised Land. In all of this we see symbolism that is of tremendous importance to us today. “The tabernacle of God shall be with men.” The promise as it is given in Revelation, anticipating the fulfilment of that particular blueprint of the Divine Program, carries forward to that goal: “The tabernacle of God shall be with men. And God Himself shall dwell with them and He shall be their God.” That is our goal here, and the Tabernacle of God or the Body of God, the House of God, is that which is being built on earth. But it takes physical substance to build the Body of God as surely as it takes physical substance for your body, and your body becomes a part of that building material.
That which is now possible is dependent upon that which has gone before us, and those men and women who have lived in centuries past have all had a part in one way or another, building or hindering, in bringing to focus that particular pattern of circumstance and condition which we find in the world today. And so all that has gone before in the lives of those earnest men and women who have sought to serve God, whatever their concepts may have been, all who have undertaken to live good lives, no matter how limited they may have been, have had a part in producing those conditions which now are, and all of that earnest dedication, that sincerity, all of that living, can have meaning in a true sense only as we accept the challenge and carry forward. The Master’s life would have been in vain had it not been for those who have gone before us, but it would still be in vain if we did not take up the challenge here today, under our own circumstances, and carry forward to the fulfilment of the Divine Plan.
Now, we know that the Master's life was not, is not, and is not going to be in vain from the standpoint of the whole — but what about the standpoint of the individual? If that which He did is not allowed to have meaning in our lives, then as far as we are concerned, His life was is vain. And unless we accept the challenge that is established to us by reason of that which has gone before we will not be doing our part; and unless we consider something of that which has gone before we will not understand all of the things that have been working out through the centuries to make possible this particular pattern in which we find ourselves. So a little history is good.
Before I begin this brief outline I would like to suggest that we can conceivably find a lesson in the lives of many people who might seem to have been more or less mediocre. We must not forget that we have a responsibility to those who have lived before us — all of them, in all walks of life, in all fields of endeavor. And unless we accept the challenge and carry forward on the basis of the highest goal that is possible to man, we will not be doing our part toward bringing the pneumaplasmic body of the world into focus at the point of the Tabernacle of God.
Perhaps we should go back to the fact that a Creative Day as it is outlined in the Bible in the story of Genesis is a period of 25,872 years. Now, that is determined within the scope of the astronomical pattern. We have what we speak of as an Age of 2,156 years. And the cycle of twelve of these particular Ages makes the period of the Creative Day — the twelve cycles of 2,156 years each. We are going to, if our time permits and your interest makes it possible, we are going to study a little astronomy before we get through here. You will understand more of the significance of these particular periods after you have studied some of the principles involved in astronomical calculations.
In any case, twelve of these periods of 2,156 years make up the Age which is spoken of as the Creative Day — 25,872 years. And twelve of these Days — of which seven are mentioned in relationship to the particular processes of creation in the beginning of Genesis — twelve of these Days makes a period of 310,464 years, a Grand Cycle. And from the time of the beginning of creation until a point just before the manifestation of our Lord on earth, that first period of 310,464 years came to a close [in 388 B.C.]. And the significance of the time in which the Master came is evident in this, because in the first cycle the pattern was established in creation, Man was created, the whole thing was set up, and everything provided so that Man could function according to the Divine Design.
But man fell. Within the scope of the remaining Ages, or period of time in that Grand Cycle, various things were done which would have made it possible, had man responded correctly, for man to return to the Divine Estate. As you begin the study of the facts as they are, you begin to realize that Jesus did not have to come into the world for man to have salvation. In other words, there was provision whereby man could have been restored without the Master having to come into the world. But man refused to accept that provision. So in that sense, He did have to come into the world. We will have opportunity to study that specifically later on. But the point I wish to make at the moment is that it was not until the second of those Grand Ages had begun [in 388 B.C.], so that the new cycle was established — and while it was on a higher spiral, it was back at the point which allowed the beginning of the creation of the world in the first place — when Jesus Christ came into the world.
Now, once you begin to see that, you can understand many things which were not comprehensible on any other basis because, just as certain vibratory factors had to come to focus to allow the beginning of the creation of this world, of the earth itself and all of the things therein, so did certain vibratory factors have to come to focus if a new Creative Cycle was going to be utilized in order to bring about the restoration of Man. So this first Grand Cycle had to close. The Master simply would not come until it had closed because if what had gone before in the old cycle had not been allowed to achieve the necessary results, if He had come in the closing days of an old cycle, what He did would have been dissipated and destroyed by man, and it would indeed have been in vain. In other words, God utilizes factors constantly which are beyond man's control, and man's assumption that he can control this, that or the other thing is all wrong.
Why is it that there has been such a tremendous increase in knowledge in the past few centuries? Why is it that in the past fifty years there has been a tremendous increase in knowledge? Because God just arbitrarily worked it out to make it so, or because human beings nowadays are especially brilliant and worthy, more so than their forebears? Oh, no. There have been brilliant, earnest, sincere men and women all down through the centuries and the people of this day cannot properly put themselves on the back and say, “How much better we are than those who have gone before us.” Why do we have this release? Why could it be prognosticated that there would be a thousand years with man bound in the bottomless pit of knowledge? And how could it be prognosticated that after that man would be loosed from this bottomless pit, and knowledge should be increased, and men should run to and fro as we are doing today?
In other words, we are living in that period which was prophesied, which was foretold. How could it be foretold? Because God somehow arbitrarily figured out, “Well, I will make man suffer this period of time and I will make man do this, that period of time, etc?” Is merely by the whim and fancy of some arbitrary deity? Not at all. All of these things work out on the basis of vibratory factors as they come to focus in relationship to our earth, in relationship to our solar system, and in relationship to the Universe as a whole. Until we begin to realize that the earth is moving in what is commonly called space, moving along a course as we might illustrate, inadequately perhaps, but the idea: the course of the earth which seems to move in a great circle. In a sense it does, but under the vibratory focalization of factors as they are at this point in Eternity, all of the vibratory factors, for instance, of the other planets of our solar system — because those planets do have a part to play, you know, in relationship to us; and we have a part to play in relationship to them. Remember, I am not talking about astrology.
But consider the piano. Would you say that a piano could be built with just one vibratory level, one key, just repeated up and down the keyboard. There is only need for one key. No, there is an octave. There is an octave and there are seven different notes in that octave. The eighth one is the same as the first, on the higher cycle, the higher spiral. So we have the seven basic variations and then we have subdivisions, and it carries up the scale so that all kinds of combinations — how many of you would like to figure out the combinations of vibratory focalizations possible by the use of a keyboard? Did anyone ever figure it out? Any of you know something about music? How many millions of possible combinations of focalizations of vibratory factors could you get out of a keyboard on the piano? Do you see what I mean? Every time you strike a chord on the piano you have a focalization of vibratory factors made up of the notes contained in that chord. You have some other chords, you have some combination of chords, you have the combination with respect to the scale itself — you go down in the bass and have a particular pattern, and duplicate that up in the treble clef and lo, it is different. There are all kinds of vibratory focalizations possible.
Now, exactly the same principle was used by God in creating the solar system, because no planet is supposed to be complete unto itself any more than one of those notes on the keyboard is supposed to be complete unto itself — the vibratory factors. We consider the Sun with the planets revolving around it, all moving in relationship to the Sun. So we have the year, the period it takes our earth to go around the Sun. But the Sun is moving, and as the Sun moves we have this scale here. I am not talking about the movement around the Sun when I am talking about the particular focalization of factors that I mentioned in the beginning of this consideration. Every time these planets change position in relationship to each other — and they are doing that all the time because of their different distances from the Sun and their different speeds of travel and all the rest of it, as well as movement along a path which the Sun is following — we have in this, the solar system itself, a constantly changing pattern of vibratory focalization. We help establish the focalizations which come to bear on the other planets, but the other planets help to establish the vibratory focalizations which come to bear on us.
Now we probably will not go into this study very extensively in this course. We will not have time. But it is specifically mentioned in the Bible, in case you want to know about it. The Lord asked about it when He was talking to Job in that pattern of the examination, and before you reach a point where you think you know it all, you want to be ready to answer a few questions: “Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?” — the Science of Mazzaroth is the science of the vibratory factors in the solar system itself in relationship to the universe. “Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?” Obviously not! But if you understand the function of these things it makes a difference with respect to your capacity as a channel through which the power of God can manifest. Because you cannot be an instrument for the expression of God's knowledge and wisdom and power in relationship to something about which your mind knows nothing.
That could perhaps be challenged in this sense — that a human being, being controlled and directed by the spirit of God might move to a point where he became aware of something which he was not before aware of, so that he could do it under the inspiration of the Spirit. That is perfectly possible. But that does not in any sense contradict what I said. You have to have a basis of awareness, of relatedness, if you are going to do that thing. A human being who had no consciousness of responding to the Spirit of God, who had no idea that by following out the impulses of the Spirit which such a person could not probably feel in the first place, that he would go to a certain place, do a certain thing, or be in a position at a certain time to have such and such an experience. How many times have things worked out in your own life which you could not explain? Why did you happen to go to such and such a place on such and such a day and meet such and such a person, or have such and such an experience? Part of it was probably because of self-activity, because you were not letting the full impulse of the Spirit of God get through. But part of it was because you were letting something of God's control manifest in your life. So you have all kinds of experiences.
But the important thing is to realize that the Science of Mazzaroth as it is spoken of in the Bible includes a consideration of all these vibratory factors in our planetary system and in the Universe itself, particularly as it relates to Arcturus, with his sons. That is the basic pattern of suns of which Arcturus is a part. Now I am not attempting to say that Arcturus is the center of the universe — or that it is not. I am simply pointing out that Arcturus is one member of a group of suns which have a very specific influence in relationship to us.
The basic Creative Triangle, in relationship to which this world was brought forth, has its base in Orion and the Pleiades, and the apex of this great Triangle comes to point in our Sun — this great Creative Triangle which forms the foundation as far as we are concerned for the manifestation of our solar system. It was by means of that Creative Triangle that this solar system was first created, in other words — and if you want to know how I know, I was there, I helped do it.
Now, this point then is that these changing planets moving round about the Sun continually change the vibratory factors in the pattern of our daily living, not in the sense of controlling or forcing issues, or a thousand-and-one of the fantastic ideas that man has developed, but from the standpoint of the Music of the Spheres — just as there are changes in the vibratory pattern of a room when someone is playing the piano or playing the violin, or some other instrument, and all those changing notes have something to do with the vibratory atmosphere. Some of them can be sad, some of them can be glad. There are all kinds of things that can be portrayed by music. And so, just so, on exactly the same basis, the vibratory pattern of the Music of the Spheres is constantly changing, and we are living in that whether we know it or not, whether we deny it or not, whether we try to disregard it or not — we are living in those patterns, the vibratory changes of the Music of the Spheres.
So we have a recognition of the changing vibratory patterns in the solar system itself, and then we recognize that the solar system is moving at a tremendous rate of speed through what is called space. Just as we move around the Sun, the Sun is moving around some point somewhere else. Man has never established that point for certain. But in any case, there are specific cycles working out and it takes us a year to go around the Sun, and it takes the Sun 2,156 years to go through one segment of the specific pattern, one Age. Twelve of those specific patterns complete a Grand Cycle in relationship to this particular vibratory control, and we have what we speak of as the Solar Age or Creative Day — 25,872 years. Twelve of those make 310,464 years, a Grand Cycle, and that establishes the Vibratory Pattern of Trinity utilized in relationship to the creation of the world. That provides the Vibratory Pattern of Trinity.
You want to know what I mean? All right, I will undertake to give you a little idea. As there are layers of your skin there are layers in all kinds of things. We will draw here three lines to represent the controlled Focalizations of the Trinity of Vibratory Factors necessary to the establishing of the focalization of vibratory factors essential to the beginning of the creation of the solar system. [hearty laughter by Uranda and all] Did somebody get lost? Do you think we are going to run out of something to study in six months? Now then, this is not quite as complicated as it might sound on the surface. Really it is very simple, and I do not want you to get the idea that it is difficult and complex. It is simple and easy to understand. We remember the Four Forces. Do not feel that you have to understand all about the Four Forces to begin to get the idea.
Water — Air — Earth — Fire. And remember that every one of these Four Forces is dominant with respect to any specific segment of a Creative Cycle. That is easy to understand, is it not? And within the scope of given periods of time the emphasis changes. Now we are going to ignore, for instance, the short period of time — only 2,156 years — that is almost too insignificant to consider. You see, you are not old at all. We are going to have to touch upon it so that you can see the Trinity, but the starting point at the beginning of creation was what? Water — the Spirit of God moving upon the face of the waters — Truth. Here I am beginning to give you a brief introduction to some of the vibratory factors which are contained within the patterns of Truth, with respect to which the Spirit of God moves in order to establish creation.
So the starting point was Water — Water — Water in relationship to all three vibratory levels. Until that could be brought to focus in relationship to the Cosmic Pattern, the cycles of time worked out so that all of these vibratory factors could come to point at the point of Water — Water — Water, God Himself could not start the creation as it relates to this world. God does not try to do the impossible. He always has a reason for everything He does, and God does not try to do the impossible, and if you follow His example in that, you will be wise. So the three vibratory levels which provide the control factors with respect to creative process in the sense of the planets, and in the sense of the solar system — the cycles of time had to work out until in the pattern of Eternity — all of the stars, the suns, and everything else necessary to provide the right focalization pattern came to point, and we could have a beginning. A beginning with respect to what? A beginning with respect to specific vibratory focalizations in the movement of the suns, the stars, which play their part in producing the particular vibratory factors essential to a specific act.
So we have here that beginning point, but it was not the beginning in the sense of time as there is the movement of things — but the processes of creation that have gone before; all kinds of things had been done long before that. But it came to the point where the particular focalization of the Triangle — because it had already long before that been established in the Sun, in the focalization of the basic triangle in Orion and the Pleiades — the Sun had been created long before, and other planets were involved in other particular patterns of Creative Cycles. But finally it came to point in the Cosmos or in the Universe where these three factors could have a starting point, the starting point of Water — Water — Water. For this first cycle it is Water for 310,464 years. So it was Water in that particular vibratory pattern from the beginning of the creation of the world until just before our Master came into the world [388 B.C.] for 310,464 years, and that was the basic control pattern in the Creative Cycle that worked out up until that period of time.
Then, counting from the beginning of creation, the second one was Water for a period of 25,872 years, and the third one was Water for a period of 2,156 years. Now the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, not just one water. That is what the Bible says. “The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” What waters? These waters — Water as the symbol of the first force to be utilized in dominance in relationship to initiating the Creative Cycles by which this earth could be produced. So after 2,156 years we had Air for the same period of time. But after 25,872 years on this other cycle, we come to Air. And we did not come to Air until 388 B.C., and that first Water Age came to a close. And on the basic control pattern we have Air and that Age pattern is still there, of course. In other words, it has only been about 2,500 years, roughly speaking — 2,500 years into this 310,464 year period under the dominance of the Air vibration.
And that means that at the present time, what is the situation? 388 B.C. there was the movement into a new pattern. At the top here, on the basic Age pattern, we had an Air vibration. And the second one, because there had been a completion of the twelve cycles, what would the second one be? Water. And we are still obviously under that, are we not? Air for 310,464 years — it is going to take a while to get out of that — that is what our vibratory pattern is going to be whether we like it or not, so we may as well like it — and Water, and there has been about 2,500 years of a 25,872 year period, so that is going to be there for a while yet too. And there is also what, with respect to the 2,156 year cycle? It was Water too, was it not? It had to be. So it started out as Water. And it was with respect to that pattern that the Master came into the world: Air — Water — Water.
Now is there anything interesting in relationship to that? Air is the symbol of Spirit, is it not? And did the Master ever have anything to do with Water, did He ever talk about it, did He ever say anything about it? Did He ever walk on it? There are all kinds of things. He called fishermen to be His disciples — all kinds of things with respect to Water. But you see this is 388 B.C., so we came to the end of this 2,156 year Water Age some time ago. When was that? In the Eighteenth Century [about 1768]. We will go on past here then and we will note that from our standpoint we have what at the present time? Here is Air, second is Water, and now we have Air in relationship to the Cycles, of the Third Aspect of the Vibrational Trinity. So our present vibratory pattern under which we are working is Air — Water — Air. Now that means something. Why is it, do you suppose, that man has recently learned how to use the airplane, wireless communication, all kinds of things? Air up here, symbol of the Spirit; Water, symbol of the Truth; and man in his direct contact with the Vibrational Trinity — Air. And what do we see?
As soon as we really got into this pattern at the beginning of this Century, we begin to see all kinds of things. Precipitation of chemicals from the atmosphere, the airplane, radio, etc. There is a reason for it, and this begins to give you a key to the understanding of it. Now, the vibratory factors as they relate to the Universe, to the solar system and everything else, must work insofar as we are concerned to this. What do I mean here? I mean that this is the nature of the pneumaplasmic body of our solar system. This is the nature of the pneumaplasmic body of our solar system. There has to be a pneumaplasmic body for everything that is created in relationship to physical substance. And you want to know something about how the vibratory factors are working out in this pneumaplasmic body as they relate to us?
We can have no meaning except in relationship to our Sun, can we? Take this earth away from the Sun, cut if off from the Sun, how long would we last? So anything you consider in relationship to the earth must be considered in relationship to the Sun, otherwise you have no basis of understanding. Consequently, the pneumaplasmic body of the creation in which we find ourselves, insofar as we are concerned, is under this dominant pattern of vibratory factors. On God's side of that layer we have the Spirit or Air factor. In the middle of it we have Water, the Truth factor. And then we change from the pattern of Water under which the Master carried out His ministry, with the fishermen and all of the other things He did. His whole ministry was in one way or another bound up in Water. Why? There was an Air — Water — Water pattern. He knew that and He functioned accordingly. He did not try to do something that was impossible. He utilized the vibratory factors that were there because He came into the world to utilize them. But now we do not have, in the Vibrational Trinity, the same pattern of vibratory factors which He did. We have another one. Why do you think we came into the world at the present time? Why do you think I am here now? Because I came into the world just as surely to begin to utilize this particular set of vibratory patterns, to whatever degree human beings would respond and let it be so, so that under this pattern human beings could begin to understand what the Master did back there.
So now we have Air — Water — Air, and if you need any proof all you have to do is look at history in the past fifty years. Proof everywhere. So we begin to see that these things do not work out by chance or happenstance. Man, when he rejected our Master, rejected the possibility of increasing his understanding, his knowledge, under that pattern. Until another Cycle began to dawn, coming out of the East (it had not arrived yet, but it was coming out of the East), man could not get out of that period of the Dark Ages. Just a scientific, basic, mathematical fact, that is all — because that Cycle was rejected, man bound himself in the bottomless pit of knowledge, and until a New Age began to come out of the East, out of the Garden of God planted eastward in Eden, he could not even begin to emerge out of it.
But when it finally got here, what happened just about the time it got here? Well, our nation here, the United States of America, became an independent nation — at the time of George Washington, the time in which this nation was born. And then as the pattern of the Water vibration began to recede into the background and the Air vibration became more and more dominant, what happened? Well, at the turn of this Century people began to get Air-minded. Am I right? At the turn of this Century things started happening — including something that has a relationship to you here in this hour. So never suppose that the things of God work out by accident. There is mathematical precision every step of the way, absolutely scientific — something as certain as God Himself.

“I Love You, Lord"
Martin Cecil November 7, 1971
The Lord has called to the children of men all down through the ages, not necessarily in the spoken word, although that has been used; nevertheless this word has been conveyed to the children of men in their own individual and collective experience. It calls to human beings to come back, to relinquish the state of separateness and return to the Lord in oneness. Even though this word has been expressed to all generations in the current of the spirit of a heart of yearning, thus far the children of men have resisted it. It has seemed that they have preferred to continue a little longer in their state of separateness. In effect each generation has been inclined to say, “Give me a little time to enjoy this state. If it becomes too bad I will consider turning to the Lord later.” But invariably later has been found to be too late. “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth” — before it's too late.
There is a reason why human beings have been so reluctant to come again to the Lord, even though He does come walking in His Garden in the cool of the day in every generation. Most are inclined to look upon that occasion as having occurred once long ago, but in effect the Lord has come in every generation to walk in His Garden and to speak the words, “Where art thou?” As it was on that first occasion, man has hidden himself from the Lord because he was afraid, knowing himself to be naked, knowing himself to be vulnerable, knowing himself to be alone, separate from God. This state of human experience came because of man's own decision and choice, and it brought in its season devastating results of various sorts. Some of these results were indeed of a catastrophic nature, so immensely destructive that only a few human beings survived on the face of the earth. Obviously we are the children of those few human beings. This heredity is our heredity.
If there is some very devastating and violent experience in the individual life there is a tendency, in self-protection, to bury the memory of that experience, to hide it away from recall. Even though it is hidden and covered up, it is still present. There is much buried in the lower levels of consciousness in man, both from the standpoint of individual experience and from the standpoint of what might be called race experience. There is a record contained in the very consciousness of the earth itself, of the substance of the earth, of all these things that have occurred in the history of the world. They are present therefore in the collective memory, even though deeply buried. The more violent the experiences have been the more carefully they are hidden away from present consciousness. We all partake of this race memory, this mass consciousness, besides those levels which are of a more directly personal nature. There is, however, a common denominator here in the external sense with respect to all human beings on the face of the earth — a memory reaching back to an experience of immense horror.
It is interesting to note that whenever the idea of disruption on a large scale with respect to the earth's surface is suggested a mass hysteria very quickly begins to develop. People tend to react on the basis of superstition, but where does the superstition come from? In such case there is a touching of this deeply buried memory and people begin to feel fearful and desperate. A small point of this enormous fear pushes upward to the level of consciousness and human beings are reminded of they know not what. The spirit of the experience comes slightly again into the awareness without any particular memory of the body of it, but it is enough to stir emotions very rapidly. It may be said, quite irrational emotions, but the fact of the matter is that it isn't entirely irrational, because it is based in actual experience, not of the individuals concerned but of the human race as such. So we have these occasions when the hidden memory is reactivated to a small degree. It comes to the surface and it makes people do very peculiar things, because they are afraid. Fear is the controlling force in human lives everywhere, fear which is fundamentally a faith in the working of the Law.
Dr. Velikovsky has written of these things in his books, speaking of a collective amnesia regarding the violent events that have occurred on earth in relatively quite recent history. These things are not so very far away in actual fact. You will note that the theories that man has developed have all attempted to postulate immense periods of time, not only immense periods of time but a very gradual and peaceful unfoldment of events. Evidences of all kinds have been sought which would support these ideas so as to helpfully cover up the actual memory of something quite different. On this basis we may be caused to feel that our behavior is quite all right and that we need not anticipate anything very troublesome insofar as planetary events are concerned. Here again we see the methods that have been used to cover up this very painful and disturbing memory. The god of science has been invoked to assist in this rationalization.
One of the reasons for the very violent reaction to Dr. Velikovsky's works is again based in the triggering of the memory which nobody wants to look at. Looking at that reaction, we could say there was something quite irrational emanating from supposedly very rational people. Yes, it seemed to be very irrational, and yet in a sense it was rational too, because it was consequent upon this buried memory, something that is actually there, something which is not merely imaginary. So for the sons and the daughters, the subsequent generations, of those who actually experienced these events there is, in all, this fundamental basic fear. According to the psychological approach, if there is something of this nature in the subconscious levels of mind then we need to let it be brought to the surface so that it may be examined and seen for what it is, in order for it to be relinquished. But this doesn't really get the job done, because it is still merely dealing with effects. The fundamental trouble is not so much with the effects as with the original cause of those effects; so we have something doubly buried here. First of all the violent effects have been buried as a memory, but underneath those violent effects is buried still deeper a consciousness of the original failure on the part of man when he betrayed the Lord.
Man, in oneness with God, accepted the trust of the Lord. He held the creative purposes of God in trust for the Lord on earth. He betrayed that trust. Human beings tend to look with horror upon the action of Judas in betraying the Lord on earth nineteen centuries ago. All that Judas did was to reenact what was true, and has been true ever since, of mankind as a whole. This betrayal has been portrayed in various ways in the scriptures of the world, including of course the Bible. You may remember the story of Cain and Abel, for instance. Cain has represented mankind. The Lord was betrayed. This awful sense of guilt is buried below the sense of horror with respect to the physical events which were the result of man's guiltiness. Merely to bring out the events and say, “All we have to do is to look at these events to get rid of our fears,” is nonsense. It can't be done that way, because while the events themselves emphasized the fears, they did not originate the fears. Man betrayed the Lord. In the initial stages he thought he was getting away with it, but then the axe fell and he was brought face to face with an awareness of the enormity of his action.
Man, carrying God's trust, extending dominion on earth, had a responsibility which not only related to this planet as such but to the whole solar system. This is one reason why in the myths that have come down to us there is a relatedness between the names of the planets and the gods who are directly concerned with function on earth. The control, the dominion, of God extending through man on earth in relationship to what was being done on earth included the control and dominion which was operating in the whole solar system. This is why man's betrayal of God had such devastating effects beyond the confines of this planet. When man began to see what was happening, having previously imagined that he was getting away with something, it finally dawned upon him with awful certainty what the results of his action actually were. Now here is the guilt, and here is the consequent fear.
Over the ages there has been a constant endeavor to cover up, to hide it away; it was far too much to be faced. Basically there has been no willingness yet to acknowledge the failure. Oh how man has endeavored all down through the ages, to this very hour, to explain away his own sense of guilt, a very valid sense of guilt. From the psychiatric standpoint, usually the endeavor is to persuade the individual that he doesn't need to feel guilty anymore, but that is self-delusion; if he is guilty he should feel that way. The point is that he may do what is necessary to reverse the prior experience which brought the sense of guilt. He has been ransomed in this sense. It is quite possible to let the state of affairs change. He had been ransomed long before our Master Himself came on earth; the provision had always been there; but it was made so vividly evident through our Master when He was on earth that all have been left without excuse subsequently.
Our Master Himself revealed that, regardless of the fact that He was betrayed and suffered the consequences of that betrayal, the reality, the truth of Being, survived on earth. He revealed in Himself that the provision was and is present with the children of men to let that same experience be known. He opened the door; He cleared the way; He made it absolutely obvious, although human beings since that day have done their level best to hide the obvious, to maintain the self-righteousness which has been developed to cover up the sense of guilt. But now events in the world are moving with such awful certainty that people everywhere are finding it a little difficult to maintain the fiction, and the memory of past events begins to surface. Because of the fear based in guilt people become desperate.
We see all these things occurring, but to the extent that we ourselves have acknowledged the failure, have admitted that we have shared in the betrayal, and have been willing to come again before the Lord without a vestige of excuse, then it is found that the opportunity for salvation is still here. Not only must the fact of the appalling results of man's action be recalled, acknowledged as being just — but beyond that again, the action which produced those results, the real culprit, must be acknowledged. Each one of us can say, in approaching the Lord, “I betrayed You, Lord.” It is because of that betrayal that there is fear. “Perfect love casts out fear.” Only when we can come to the point of saying, “I love You, Lord,” may the fear vanish away, the cause of disaster be dissolved, and the cause of creativeness restored to the experience of man.
Man's despicable arrogance is a surface manifestation, obvious enough in the eyes of God, of his sickening fear. There is only one way of salvation and that is, when the Lord God comes walking in the Garden in the cool of the day, for man to step forth from behind the trees which have hidden him to himself and acknowledge his guilt: “I am responsible” — not just “We are responsible.” That may be true but it means nothing until the individual says, “I am responsible. I betrayed You, Lord. My action crucified You, Lord, on earth. My action is responsible for the ill results of human experience, for the state of the world, for the devastation of Your Garden. I am responsible.” It is more difficult to make that admission genuinely today than it really would have been on that first occasion, but the requirement is no different. The Law hasn't changed one iota. Difficult or not, this is the requirement, obviously so when we honestly look at it. The imputation has ever been that the fault has lain at God's door for creating things the way He did. He has even been described by some benighted souls as being a monster worse than any human being who ever lived, for producing this state of affairs.
Who has what it takes to say, “I am responsible,” and mean it? If it is just words, that means nothing; but to see the responsibility, to accept it, to step out from behind the trees and to answer the Lord, reveals the beginnings of restored manhood or womanhood. How many are so willing? How many would be inclined to say, “Oh no, I couldn't do that! I have got to maintain my own little sphere of separateness. I like this. I want to keep it for a while. I want to have my own way. I want to continue betraying the Lord.” There is no excuse anymore, and the axe falls. The final falling of the axe is the falling of the ultimate curtain on a tragic drama concluded — the tragedy of guilty man.
Where there is something held in the subconscious mind there is a tendency to be impelled by that something to re-experience the event — a fatal fascination. While everybody claims to object to the direction in which the world is going, everybody behaves in a way that ensures that it will continue to go in that direction — evidence of man's stolid progress toward nuclear annihilation. If comets and planets won't cooperate in bringing a cataclysm on the surface of the earth, then man's going to do it for himself. Here is this fatal compulsion. People have become so accustomed to the idea that nuclear war is an impossibility that they overlook the fact that it is actually a certainty as long as they are governed by fear. What was it that Job said? “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.” The Law works.
Of course there is an easy solution here: Stop fearing, stop being afraid! But how? “I love You, Lord!” That simple way — I love You, Lord!” There is no other way given by God to the children of men. “I have betrayed You, Lord. Forgive me! I love You!” There it is. Too simple, too straightforward, to devious human beings. If it is, how sad! “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem ... your house is left unto you desolate,” until there are those who are willing to acknowledge the truth and to say, “I love You, Lord! I love the truth. I love the beauty of Your Being. I love the Design of Life which is Yours and Yours alone. I love to give individual form in expression on earth to what You are. In doing so, I am what You are. I love You, Lord!”
