This  Great  Easter  Day  of  the  Ages





Uranda   April 1, 1939



As the world responds to the degree of its vision and gives attention to the mystery of the resurrection, it is, to the extent of its true love for the LORD of Lords, open to the radiation of reality being released through you in the Third Sacred School, to the end that all earnest ones, of every nation, race, creed, religion or school of thought, may be lifted up in the ascending flame of the resurrection to the degree that they will let go to, and in, the whole truth which sets all responding ones fully free in the glorious liberty of the children of God.


It is to this great service that you are now called, that through your own steadfast response to reality the radiance of the Christ love may draw forth the realizations of life eternal from within all those who are unconsciously responding to their Lords within them by reason of their love for the LORD of Lords.  To the degree that your own response to your own Lord within you is vital, vivid and constant the radiance of your Lord is pouring out through you to your brother man—and that radiance is hindered only when you become self-active in your daily life expression. As your realization of this actuality of service becomes more vivid, so that it is the dominating factor in all that you do day by day, you find that the sense of futility begins to vanish away and in its place there comes an assurance of eternal life and cosmic power flowing freely into the world consciousness through all your thoughts, words and deeds, no matter how insignificant they may appear to be from the standpoint of the outer vision.


If you are to do your part in the service of the Lord in bringing about the resurrection to reality of all those earnest ones in the world who are now dead to reality, it is necessary that you have a clear realization of what it means to use all the conditions and situations in your life to that end, and to give thanks in all things. 


The attitude of the world toward ill conditions may be classified under three broad generalizations: namely, those who are chronic complainers about ill conditions, and they consider most conditions to be ill; those who bear their burdens silently in a mute but pregnant air of benign martyrdom; and those who try with much struggle, sometimes loudly and sometimes silently, to fight against the ill conditions in an attempt to replace them with conditions which human beings generally think that they should desire. All three phases of the world attitude are equally wrong, and some, seeing this, have tried to develop a new attitude by denying that there are any ill conditions, only to evolve a hybrid attitude of fruitless fantasy partaking of the characteristics of the last two phases outlined. Most so-called “new thought” and so-called “metaphysical teachings” come under this hybrid classification, and it is as wrong as any of the three generalizations.


Realizing the full truth of the foregoing, it immediately becomes clear that any ill condition can be a true cause of thanksgiving only to the degree that it becomes a channel for the release of the Power and Wisdom and Glory of God—and the blessed one realizes that every condition, no matter what it is, may be so used, not because it was supposed to be, but because the Wisdom of God is great enough to use even that, since it is manifest by reason of man’s failure to let the Will of God be done. This realization is absolutely essential before the earnest one can begin to truly function and serve in the Christ attitude of the resurrection. So it is that the faithful one faces every condition in the absolute assurance that it can be used to advantage, no matter what it is, to the degree that those involved will let the Father’s Will be done. And so it is that he becomes radiantly thankful for all things; but never, even for a moment, does the responding one allow himself to be deluded into the idea that ill conditions are the result of God's will. God never puts a “burden,” or a “heavy cross,” on anyone.  Every ill condition that now is, or ever has been, is the result of man's self-willed activity, which brings suffering and death; and every ill condition, with every instant of suffering and every death, has always been, and is now, absolutely contrary to the will of God. Blessed is he who realizes this truth.


God is a God of Love, of life eternal, of joy, and of perfection in being and function. God did not ordain death in the first place, and death has never been, in any instance, the will of God for any. According to the will of God the physical human body is a living temple of the Lord and it is granted the sacred privilege of eternal life. Human self-will, and self-activity in positive self-expression, has been the stone [the heart] which caused the body to be a tomb of death. Our Great Master proved this to be true and He is our example. 


The cross was, and is, the symbol of your own physical body in its self-active state, wherein it is subject to death. As the Great Master was crucified on the cross, just so is the Master-Self within each self-active human being crucified on the cross of the human body. As the Great Master rose again the third day, just so does all of the human body which responds in love to the Master-Self within rise, or ascend, into eternal life after it passes through the third plane of human spiritual expression—for the three days in the tomb represent the three planes of the self-active human body, namely physical, mental and spiritual expression. The body forms a cross when the arms are extended horizontally from the sides while you stand erect, and that is the cross on which you crucify your own Master when you deny him and function in self-activity. All of this our Great Master revealed in His life and in His crucifixion.


He was, and is, LORD of the Sacred Seven, which means that He is the Head of all the God Beings in this whole holy world, and there is no other Being in, on or about the seven planes of the whole holy world who can be compared to Him or considered in any way to be equal with Him. Jesus was the name of the body temple of the LORD of Lords, and the Father within Jesus was the LORD of Lords. This means that when Jesus ascended to His Father He simply caused His body to ascend into eternal oneness with Himself, and He was and is the One God, or I AM THAT I AM, or Jehovah, of this whole holy world. Thus Jesus, the body manifestation, was the Only Son of the Father within that body temple, and so was Jesus the only begotten Son of God.


When Jesus died to the world and ascended through the three planes, symbolized by the three days, and was received into Eternal Cosmic Being with His Father, He revealed the process that is the open way before every responding one on the face of the whole earth. Your human form must respond to your own Lord within you, from whom you may receive the Christ Light, Love and Life to the degree of your love response; and as you are drawn into oneness with your own Lord, thereby being “saved,” you automatically become perfectly harmonized with the LORD of Lords, simply because your own Master within you is already perfectly harmonized with the Great Master. And so do you receive of the life of the LORD of Lords through your own indwelling Lord. This is the resurrection, and as you let it be so in you you will come to your own Easter morning in this great Easter Day of the Ages.





The proof of the fact that God never willed that any should be subject to death is proven by the fact that Jesus, in whom the perfect will of God was done, was not subject to death but rose again the third day, showing the result of letting the will of God be done. Resurrection from the human state to the state of eternal life here and now is the will of God for every human being, but the will of God becomes active for and in each human being only to the degree that he, or she, responds in love to his, or her, own indwelling Lord, or Master-Self.


Only that which does not respond can die. Thrice blessed are they who let go in the ascending flame of the Christ Love, that they may now find their Easter Day. As the angel of the Lord rolled away the stone that sealed the Master's tomb on that first Easter morning, so will the Angel-Self within you roll away the stone of self-activity and change your tomb to a living temple, according to your response.  Blessing you this Easter Day and enfolding you in the fire, I AM Uranda
