No More Sea

No  More  Sea

Let love command. Love commands through truth, and the evidence of this is life. Love, truth, life: spirit, the spirit of God. God is spirit: love, truth, life. Here is creative action. Love, the power of action; truth, the means of action; and life, action. The radiation of spirit activates the creative process. Human experience of that radiation of spirit has been minimal, just enough to maintain human existence. Physical substance may well be described as vibrational substance at a certain level of manifestation which we as human beings are capable of observing. Physical substance is molecular substance, atomic substance, according to the view of the mind of mankind. This is vibrational substance. We are aware of this because we have senses which interpret that vibrational substance. Without that interpretation it would remain vibrational substance, more or less incomprehensible to the human mind. But the impact of this vibrational substance upon human senses allows the creation in our consciousness of the world and the universe, as it is mentally known.


There is more vibrational substance than can be perceived by human senses. Various instruments have been invented which cause the mind of man to be aware that there is vibrational substance, something is vibrating somewhere, beyond what is perceptible to the human senses. Part of this substance may be classified mentally speaking as mental substance. Mental substance, vibrational substance, whatever it is, permeates what we claim to be physical substance, which is also vibrational substance. It is simply substance, if we wish to call it that, at a different vibrational level. We are aware of this, because we are capable of thinking and feeling in a manner that doesn't translate things into form. I suppose it could easily be said that there is form to thought, but you can't get hold of it except through the mental facility. You can't physically get hold of it.


So there is what we refer to as physical substance, and permeating that physical substance is mental substance—all vibrational substance at different levels—and permeating all this is what may be classified as spiritual substance. Spiritual substance has evidently been dissipated to a high degree in human experience, except as it accommodates those qualities of spirit which characterize human beings. This has sometimes been referred to as the human spirit. It's supposed to be something very indomitable. But if we take an honest look at it we will see that this spiritual substance accommodates such states of experience as accusation, for instance, the spirit of fear, the spirit of resentment, the spirit of envy, of jealousy, the spirit of acquisitiveness, all kinds of peculiar spirits which certainly characterize the human population—oh yes, there may be claims to the spirit of love. These spirits engender manipulation, and manipulation characterizes human existence.


This of course is because the spirit of love and of truth and of life have been largely excluded. They have been excluded very much because there hasn't been adequate spiritual substance to accommodate what may certainly be described as the spirit of God, the holy spirit. The available substance has been of a rather low quality, simply capable of accommodating the destructive spirits which characterize human beings in general. Nevertheless there is physical substance, vibrational substance at that level of things interpreted by us as being form; there is mental substance, interpreted by human beings in terms of thought and emotion; and there is spiritual substance of a sort, which accommodates the elements which motivate human existence. However, the spiritual substance minimally accommodates the spirit of love, the spirit of truth and the spirit of life.


We may observe a child filled with energy—much life apparent, endlessly active, until collapse and sleep come eventually. But such life as is present in human experience in no way gives evidence of what it would be if there was sufficient spiritual substance of a clear quality to accommodate the spirit of love, the spirit of truth and consequently the spirit of life. As long as other spirits than those of love and truth are being accommodated, the experience of life must be very restricted. It just gets by in human form for a very short life span. It's thought of as being a life span; it's really a death span—that's the end result.


This vibrational substance, ranging from what we term the physical to the spiritual, is activated by the spirit of love, the spirit of truth, the spirit of life, to the extent that this holy spirit is permitted to penetrate first of all spiritual substance, permeating that, which in turn permeates the mental substance, which in turn permeates the physical substance, so that for a while physical forms exist. That's all that can be said for it. What life is, nobody knows. Everybody has known something of the process of dying in the period that is available. But life—what's that? An unknown quantity, because the spirit of love, truth and life have been very largely excluded, excluded because the sense of self in human beings has claimed control of human behavior. The control has not been in the spirit of truth, for instance. Consequently human beings have invented their own designs for themselves as individuals, what they are going to do; and collectively, various social designs, political designs, national designs, all sorts of designs, all of which are human inventions. They have little, if anything, to do with the truth.


The basic components of truth are design and control. Love operates on this basis. If the design and control of truth are not present in human experience, then love cannot be known, because love only emerges into expression that way. Emerging through the distorted designs and efforts at manipulation by human beings, it is no longer love. It may be a rather intense emotional experience at times, but it isn't love. It might be said that it is a human invention, an invention which was deemed to be needful to satisfy themselves. It doesn't—it causes all kinds of destruction everywhere. This emotional splurge which human beings call love is of all things the most destructive, because love cannot be known without truth, without the inherent design and control which characterize the truth of love. On this basis love becomes the creative power, quite adequate—it has been adequate to produce whatever the universe is—and the evidence of this creative power is life, this creative power working under control in the established design; then life emerges.





The universe is a living universe. Our galaxy is a living galaxy. Our solar system is a living solar system. Our earth is a living earth. This latter awareness is beginning to dawn on some human beings, that the earth is a living entity. Human beings have been so wrapped up in their own petty existence that they haven't noticed life anywhere else. But finally it begins to dawn, in the consciousness of some at least, that the earth itself is a living entity.


The earth has been able to operate and to sustain the existence of what we call nature and human existence thus far without the presence of man. I suppose one could say that's a very remarkable feat, because man was an essential ingredient in the overall picture. But man has been absent. Consequently various substitutes had to be brought into action if human existence was to continue; and there was an importance to this. The importance was in the expectation that ultimately man would be restored. If man is restored then the substitutes which are presently in operation would be unnecessary.


Insofar as this earth is concerned, one of the main substitutes which has enabled existence to be sustained are the oceans. It's interesting to note that when mention is made of the appearance of the new heaven and the new earth, it was indicated that “the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” The oceans as we now know them, occupying the majority of the planet, would be quite unnecessary if Man was present. Of course, presently it is recognized that without the oceans it is likely that existence could not continue on earth, partly because in the oceans there are organisms which assist in the process of maintaining a balance, a balance in the atmosphere, a balance in the climate. So the very thought of eliminating the oceans would be disaster. Well of course as long as man isn't present it would be.


It is interesting to recognize that there is some awareness at least, and it is described in the Book of Genesis, that the earth was once covered with water. That was before man put in an appearance. When man was present and available to the creative process, the functions which have subconsciously been carried on by reason of the presence of the ocean would not be necessary in the same way anymore. This is not to say that there necessarily was no water on the face of the earth, but certainly not the massive quantities that are presently filling the oceans. It seems that reference is made a number of times to the earth and the waters under the earth. Here is a very different state of affairs, if it actually existed.


I do not speak of these things to engender speculation, but merely to indicate that virtually all things of which human beings are aware relative to this planet are in fact substitutes because of the absence of man, and they give little indication of what the true state would be.


Presently we have the sun, which was present before. It is a good symbol of Father God. We still have the earth, revealing something of the potentiality of the form of Mother God. And we have the oceans, essential factors in maintaining the balance. There are other elements in this matter, but the oceans are the principal one for maintaining the balance of the gases in the atmosphere, so that existence as we know it may be sustained; that balance and the balance of climate. Climate is important too.





We are concerned with the restoration of man. We have awakened to this necessity, because the substitutes are all temporary. Somewhere along the way they don't work anymore. They have just given time and opportunity for human beings to awaken and let man be restored. I suppose this could be seen as evidence of a very merciful God. The provision has come through the radiation of love, partly symbolized by and partly factual as the radiation of the sun. Because of the changes which have occurred on the face of the earth, allowing for the establishment of substitute patterns of control in the absence of man, existence has continued. But there comes an end to that, because the substitutes are necessarily only temporary; and unless advantage is taken of this temporary provision to permit the restoration of man, then the picture would be very bleak. And it appears to be very bleak. There is no way that human existence can change the course of what is happening. The change comes only when Man is present.


Everything exists as it does, physically, mentally, and from the standpoint of the substance available for spiritual expression, because of the radiation of love, because of the spirit of God—love, truth and life. These are inseparable. This radiation has activated what may be referred to, I suppose, as non-substance into substance. But it doesn't stop there. Having the substance activated, it then continues, with the design and the control necessary, to allow this substance to take its living forms. And it has done this throughout the whole universe, until man spoiled it in this little neck of the woods. If the whole creation could occur by reason of this radiation, how very simple is the restoration of this earth. But it requires Man.


So having awakened to some consciousness of this, we have become aware of various aspects of the creative process. We begin to see that all things are because of the radiation of spirit. This was spoken of as the Word, or translated as the Word, in the first chapter of the Gospel according to John: “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”


That's a very accurate statement. The activation by this radiation is evident. Substance isn't self-existent. It is existent, it is a reality, because of the activation of spirit—the Word is spoken. “And the Word was made flesh.” In the particular passage in the first chapter of John this referred to Jesus, but the fact of the matter is that the Word originally was made flesh in man. Jesus merely reminded everyone—if they were willing to be reminded, and virtually no one has been—that the Word is made flesh in man, so that there may be the radiation where man rightly is, to activate all the vibrational substance that has been committed to his care and keeping. This vibrational substance obviously has been desecrated by man.


The world, the way we know it, has been produced by human beings, not by God; and it is going down the drain. Necessarily so, because the day of the substitutes is coming to a close, and unless man is on hand there is nothing—nothing insofar as this planet is concerned, insofar as man's responsibility in this planet is concerned and in the whole solar system. So it is not a little matter, even though it is infinitesimal if we are considering the whole universe. It is a vital part of the whole, and the whole is not whole without the whole. So there always has been the necessity that this aberration should be brought, in whatever way was found to be possible, back into the design of truth and under the control of truth, and powered once again by love.


Having an awareness of these things, we presumably have offered ourselves to let this happen in our own physical forms, where there is a variety of physical substance representative of the substance in the earth as a whole, and where mental substance is available, both in the range of the subconscious and a little layer of consciousness. What is necessary is for the spiritual substance to be cleaned up, so that the radiation may penetrate and the restoration consequently occur—there is no problem about that.


Once the spirit of God, of love, of truth, of life, can be accommodated in the spiritual levels of substance in man, then there is radiation. There has been radiation, evidently so to the degree that we have come to the point of awakening to this and of participating in the effects of that radiation. Radiation engenders resonance in such substance as is no longer being held immobile in the constructs of human consciousness and in the constructs humanly made of physical substance, but first of all very specifically in human bodies. The human body is the last along the line, one might say. There is the mental substance permeating the physical substance, and the spiritual substance permeating the mental substance and consequently permeating the physical substance. But if that spiritual substance has been so distorted as to accommodate only the spirit of accusation, for instance, which is the primary one in human experience, as we know, there is no way by which the spirit of love, truth and life can come through, or it only comes through in little dribs and drabs, maintaining existence for a few short years.


So we have been concerned to let this spiritual substance be clarified, to have clean hands and a pure heart, so that what heretofore has been thought of as human freedom, which is really human license, may be eliminated in favor of the willing acceptance of the spirit of love and truth and life into total expression in living. We have shared in letting this occur, in whatever measure. It has produced a collective body of which we are consciously aware. Marvelous, isn't it? The vast majority of human beings on the face of the earth, almost five billion of them, are not aware of it. We have the awareness that it can happen, because it has happened to whatever extent thus far.





We share the responsibility of letting it continue, letting the Word be made flesh in man, male and female. It's no use looking out there and saying, “Oh it really should be made flesh over there somewhere in all those people out there. What are they doing?” That's their business. The question always arises: “What am I doing? How is it with me? What is my experience? Is the Word made flesh because I am present on earth?” It has emerged in some measure at certain levels of vibration so far, but the intent is that it should emerge on all levels of vibration, including the physical. This is beyond belief! We don't need belief. We need the experience of the fact. It starts spiritually. Then the mind comes under control and is raised up, so as to allow for the thoughts engendered by love and truth and life, to allow for the operation that occurs through the subconscious levels of mind to be free to occur because there is no more mess down there. As all this is cleansed, spirit comes forth physically speaking, reactivating human flesh. Because man puts in an appearance again, then life puts in an appearance again throughout this beautiful planet, beautiful when it reflects the spirit of love and truth and life.
