The Structure of the Pineal Gland
excerpts from
Word from the Council of the Seven
Uranda and Martin Cecil February 4, 1941
Bishop Uranda — While you have read other Expressions of Realization from Brother Martin Cecil, I release this following paper to you as his first Official Expression as a Member of The Council of Seven. Let it be recognized that in The Council of Seven, Brother Martin Cecil is the Special Representative of the Lord of the Sacred Two, and it is in this capacity that he now serves you. The following paper deals with a Vision and an Attitude most vital to your present function in the earth, upon which much further expansion in Expression is in order. Rejoice and Let It Be So in yourself:
Martin Cecil — The sandy texture of the Pineal Gland in all those who depend upon the response of the outer mind to the things of the world, well symbolizes that the houses of such are based upon the sand which is continually shifting. These are they who say “Let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” (Genesis 11:4) Sand is made up of millions of separate particles, and the sandiness of the pineal gland symbolizes the separate state of the atomic structure of the unresponsive human body, even though there is a seeming oneness as long as life remains in the form. Thus such human beings, knowing not true Oneness in the Lord, seek to make themselves a “name.” In other words they develop character and personality of the outer being during their lives, and also seek by their functions and activities in the world to perpetrate it after death. No matter how successful they may seem to be, the result is always the same, as it is said “and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of the earth.” In other words the atoms of the unresponsive physical body are distributed back into the dust.
The structure of the pineal gland in the Responsive physical body tends to take on the nature of a stone [Mat. 21:42-44 and Mat, 16:18 where the “little rock,” or Peter, of each individual is mentioned—but the world rejects the Truth of the Stone—Bishop Uranda] the sandy particles are fused into Oneness, thereby giving evidence of Eternal Life in form, through the Adoption of the atomic structure of the whole body into Oneness with the Lord. Such an house is built upon the Rock which cannot be moved.
“Let thine eye be single, that thy whole body may be full of Light.” In that the pineal gland is the single eye, this quotation refers both to the necessity of letting the structure of the pineal gland be fused into Oneness through Response, and also to the need for our Response to be through the “window finished above” to the Lord in the Inner Planes of Reality and not through the double eye, or the eyes of outer vision, in response to things in the world without. As we come into a clearer understanding of Symbolism, we find that it is not merely a superficial picture of little intrinsic value, but that all true Symbols have a use and a need and an active function. The sandy particles of the pineal gland have a close relationship with the atoms of the unresponsive physical body. The fused stone of the pineal gland is a necessity in the unified harmonization of all the atoms in the perfected body temple. And so on through all the manifest Symbolism of the whole earth.
Response through the double eye of outer vision, which is to all intents and purposes the only kind of response that mankind is aware of, reveals that sooner or later any seeming oneness in the nations or among the nations of the world must break up in the confusions of Babel, regardless of what anyone may think to the contrary. With these things clear before our eyes, it is evident why it is said that the elect would be seduced if it were possible. The elect are seen to be those whose eye is single and whose body is therefore full of Light, and the darkness of the outer vision through the double eye has no place at all in such. So it is not possible that they should be seduced from the Lord their God within them. They are no longer concerned with the signs and wonders of the outer world, but with the infinitely greater Glories and Truths of Eternal Reality, not as abstract and helpless dreamers but as doers of the Word, that the Perfection of the Everlasting Kingdom might be released into the earth.
So shall the LORD God be glorified and His Blessing of Radiant Light, Love and Life fill the whole world with Peace and true Oneness, which cannot fail for it is founded and established upon the Eternal Rock of the Christ Love. “The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: This is the LORD'S doing and it is marvellous in our eyes.” Rejoice and Praise the Lord that it is so.
