It  Actually  Is  At  Hand

from  Shekinah Magic #4

Uranda   June 24, 1953  Class

In our earlier class this morning you began to perceive certain vibrational factors through feeling or inner hearing or inner seeing, or more or less all together, and to the degree that you felt or perceived you have a deeper appreciation of the reality of the vibratory factors which are in use in Heavenly magic — the reality of Heavenly magic in action.

Gradually, as you have been gaining some little awareness of Shekinah, you have begun to realize that all Heavenly magic, even though it may manifest in an infinite variety of marvelous designs and patterns and beauty, Heavenly magic always works within a basic pattern, without any exception — and if it is not within that basic pattern it is not Heavenly magic. And you begin to see how these basic patterns are imposed one upon another from the highest focalization of deity in the Cosmos, extending out through the entire Cosmos, so that this pattern of the Divine Design includes you where you are. There is a pattern in this Divine Design in relationship to every man, woman and child on the face of the earth, but how few there are who let it have meaning.

But this Kingdom of design and control, this Kingdom of power and glory, this Kingdom of the Shekinah Fire, and the Light that glows, and the Cloud of glory is at hand, actually at hand, all the time, within reach, available, to every person at all times without exception — and this is that which the Master was teaching when He gave His gospel: “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Once we begin to realize that it really is, that it actually is at hand, and we begin to have some kind of awareness of it, we find the way much easier.

To the human mind, with senses dulled, asleep or half awake, the words, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand” tend to mean almost nothing. It just sounds like words. But you are beginning to find that the Master actually knew what He was talking about and that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, now, that it has been every instant since man was first created and put in the garden of God on earth; and you are beginning to sense something of the nature of that Kingdom — not too much as yet with respect to its delicate and intricate designs, but at least with respect to its basic principles, its basic factors. As this realization increases we have an increased opportunity to comprehend and appreciate many, many texts in the Bible, many things round about us, in nature and in the sky above, things near and far.

But now, let us for a few moments center our attention upon a continued meditation of the Master's words as recorded in the fourteenth chapter of John. In the thirteenth verse, for instance, we read: “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son,” and it begins to mean something to you. And whatsoever ye shall ask in Shekinah, that will Shekinah do, that the Father, the One Who Dwells in the center of the Flame, may be glorified in the Son, in the outer manifestation of Shekinah, made manifest through form on earth.” And it begins to be something beautifully simple, and we begin to realize that the Master's words that the way is easy was true and is true today. The Way is, indeed, easy. And we begin to establish an attitude that does not deny the fact that the Way is easy. Continually saying that it is easy is of small value.

“And whatsoever ye shall ask in Shekinah, that will Shekinah do, that the Father, the One Who Dwells in the center of Shekinah, may be glorified in the manifestation of the form of Shekinah. "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” If ye shall ask anything in Shekinah, Shekinah will do it. “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
