Obviously
What Has Thus Far Transpired
from
Be Awake to the Potential in Each Role and Task

All is well. The power of love draws this planet with its burden of
life forms back into alignment with cosmic purpose. Because there has been this
lack of alignment, the world over the ages has been filled with tribulation.
During this time every individual who has been present on earth has experienced
varying degrees of tribulation. We are well aware that this is consequent upon
the human failure to remain aligned with cosmic purpose. But the power of love
works and is indeed in the process of drawing all on the surface of this
planet—and the planet itself—back into alignment with the Creative Cosmic Purpose.
The reason for our presence on earth is that we might awaken to what
is happening and participate in the process, letting it be drawn to focus. We
are aware that this is necessary—the focus has been absent. What human beings refer
to as nature has been left on its own without the necessary direction, which
was the responsibility of Man. It has been able to survive thus far in a very
distorted state. Because of this it is quite useless to look to nature for human
guidance. We are aware of the fact that it is the restoration of man that is
required. Without that focus there is no control out of heaven to set the
dominion of the ordinances of heaven in the earth. This is the responsibility
of Man—a responsibility long forgotten. In its place has come the vast variety
of human effort and the vast variety of consequent tribulation.
We ourselves have become aware that there is no way out of this state
of affairs except as there is a return to the state and the condition of Man.
So we have shared this recognition of responsibility—and have assumed a certain
factual responsibility in our own living. Obviously what has thus far
transpired is not adequate, but we are aware, to the extent that we have
participated in this process, that there is an inexorable process which brings
the fulfilment which is necessary. We recognize the nature of this fulfilment
as being absolutely dependent upon what is experienced in the nature of our own
living. This is not something that happens regardless of human beings. It is
not an imposition from some supposed heavenly source upon the body of mankind.
It may appear to be that way by reason of the tribulation, but the tribulation
is the very just result of human failure.
There is a tendency for human beings to complain good
deal about injustice and unfairness, and so on. This view is generated
self-centeredly and fails to take into consideration the larger picture, fails
to take into consideration even the smaller picture of individual human
function. We produce our own worlds, and, as it has been, we suffer the
consequences. There is always the potential and opportunity of allowing the
production of the true world, but this is absolutely impossible until there is
Man on earth. We could say that this is a fortunate thing; otherwise I am sure
that the human race would long have departed. But there is always the
expectation that somehow in the outworking of the Cosmic Cycles of Things man
could be restored. This has always been the first order of business: the
restoration of Man—not the restoration of the state of the planet, because the
state of the planet is absolutely dependent upon the state of human beings.
Until Man is restored there is no basis for fundamental change in the
condition of the world.
So we present ourselves to participate in this creative process. This
requires the necessity of letting go of the human nature which heretofore has
dictated human behavior. It is a matter of letting go of that, but also letting go to the true nature of Man, which has always been present. When we cease to be so
busy about our human affairs there comes a certain awareness that there is state
transcending human nature. However we can’t be governed by human nature and by
this true state at the same time. I suppose there may a mixture for a while,
and we have all had some experience of the mixture—but along the way the truth
must prevail, at least in the experience of some. It would seem like a tall order
to expect it to be present in the experience of all. However, we would not judge
in this matter but accept the responsibility individually, so that we ourselves
may play our part. We are most thankful for all who play their part in this over the years. But it is our responsibility to make sure that we fulfil that task which
comes to our hand.
We are together collectively to allow a focus of the role
and the task which is necessary
for the continuing process of restoration
We
are in position to do this only to the extent that individually speaking we
bring with us the evidence of a factual acceptance of the role and task which
come to each of us—then there is something to be drawn to focus when we
assemble with one accord in one place, as we have opportunity of doing now. All that can be done collectively speaking is based in whatever has been
done up to this point individually speaking. It is out of this individual
experience that the focus comes. The extent of the clarity of that focus is
dependent upon the clarity with which we have handled our momentary roles and
tasks.
How beautiful to experience this state of oneness as a reality—no longer to be theorized about but to be experienced and expressed moment by moment, day by day. And so, in oneness of this creative spirit which we know, we continue to let it be in focus in our living consistently, rejoicing also in the opportunities that we do have when we assemble together to let all this which is a factual reality finally be drawn to focus, that the creative process may be present on earth, in expression to the glory of the One whom we love and serve, fulfilling the commission of which we have become aware here on this planet.
