Radiant Government
Alan Hammond 2002
The alpha and omega of experiencing the truth of life lies in coming to know true Identity. Every human being might well ask themselves: “Who am I in reality?” When I speak now, whoever I am, my voice is speaking through this little form you see before you. I’m able to speak at all because I’m assisted by all the little flora and microbes that compose this form, so in saying “I am present,” I am present and expressing myself through this organism composed of other living forms. They work together to allow me to express myself here. This is the human form, which I use.
It is obvious enough that this form is part of a larger collective one we call the body of mankind. I am therefore expressing myself through this larger form, also. The collective body of mankind is a part of a larger organism we call the planet, so I am also expressing myself through this planet. So one could say that the form sitting in this chair is expressing itself, the body of mankind is expressing itself, and the planet is expressing itself. Further, the living planet is part of a larger form—the solar system. It is one system and this voice is emerging out of that collective context, saying, “Here I am.” The solar system is part of our much larger living organism—namely, the galaxy—but it is ultimately one Identity and one voice, saying “Here I am.” All this is completely undeniable. There is no other animating energy other than this One, which is expressing Itself through this single, yet collective, living mechanism.
I have here a large book called The Invisible Universe, by David Malin, and it displays colored plates of the visible universe. It is very beautiful. I’ll just turn the pages so you can have a glimpse of these parts of Life’s visible body, My Body. Here’s this one, for example—“A Dusty Arm of the Milky Way” ... or “The Horsehead Nebula”... or “Structure in the Vela Supernova” ... “The Jewel Box Cluster” ... “A Starburst Galaxy in Centaurus”. The colors are gorgeous, varied, and on and on we could go—billions of stars and galaxies, and these are but fractions of the universe. There is value in letting this perspective of Identity percolate through our human consciousnesses. These glorious manifestations of the cosmic physical body are only part of the picture. This book is actually entitled The Invisible Universe because this photographer indicates that scientists estimate that nine-tenths of the material in the universe is invisible. But, more than this, we realize that this vast organism, the cosmos, is not just physically vast and varied, but so is the intelligence which operates in it, and so are the emotional and vibrational feelings which pervade it.
We’re giving consideration to this subject this morning because the human experience has been so isolated, minute, and therefore totally unsatisfactory throughout recorded history, and we know that one of our responsibilities is to consciously reabsorb our outer consciousness into the reality of Being. To do this, the outer consciousness must be rendered more flexible than it currently is.
There is an interesting analogy here (probably more than an analogy). The fiery core of the Earth is encased by a physical crust. We know that consciousness emerges from the aura of atomic substance, and the crust of the surface of this planet is mostly rock. We often say the human consciousness is set in concrete. Well, it derives from rock, anyway, and is greatly crystallized, and part of our responsibility is to let this crust of consciousness be made malleable—in fact, dissolved, so that the fiery core which is closer to the real nature of this planet can offer its radiant essences into the larger design. Someone was speaking last week about the Earth’s destiny to become a sun. Well, maybe what is needed is to allow something to be dissolved so that the inner nature of this focus of Being can be released again into the larger design, so that the light and energy from this planet may be radiant, rather than merely reflected, which it is at the moment.
One of the purposes of our lives is to let this reintegration occur, and we need to achieve something in this particular incarnation. These human forms are going to pass away in a few years, so there’s something rather urgently to be achieved in this cycle. There’s a penetration needed, from the inside through the crystallized outer consciousness, so that the fire and radiance of the inner consciousness can shine forth from Oneself, through one’s outer form; therefore through the body of mankind, through the planet, out into the larger context.
People listening to us discussing such things would probably say, “Well, you’re saying that you are Cosmic Being in expression through that form. Is that really valid, since I can see so many unclarities in your expression of spirit?” Yes, it’s still valid, because the conscious breakthrough of the crust is an achievement in itself and certainly will not reveal the full glory of who I am (and, in parenthesis, who we all are) all at once. The initial penetration is achievement. And if, as individuals, we participate in this penetration, remember, we are also participating in the penetration of consciousness for the larger organisms of which we are a part; namely, the body of mankind and the planet.
There is, of course, the vastness of true Identity, somewhat indicated by these pictures of the universe; but also there’s another range of Oneself, which is the microscopic. So far, I’ve been speaking about physical size—the vast and the microscopic—but beyond that outer manifestation are these other aspects of Being: character, intelligence, emotion, and other unknown dimensions of experience. There’s such a range of character represented by the physical universe, which we experience as ourselves. There’s the glory and the spaciousness of one’s Being and Character, and then there’s what is made manifest in the microscopic, relative to incredible detail and control, for example. The forms on the surface of this planet, and beyond, all give expression to aspects of My character, and even as a human being we know that these essences through flowers, animals, mountains, sunsets, are all actually expressions of who I AM—My Spirit. I can even give expression to those essences in different moments through my human form, and I do—though largely unconsciously. But they are the same essences, the same Spirit.
One of the reasons we are meditating on this this morning is in order to share in the consciousness of the Identity that is governing the planet—we’ll keep it local! After all, there is a focus of intelligence and government for this Earth, and this focus of government has its purposes. It has purposes for this planet related to the rest of the solar system, and far beyond. Now, what do you think is happening in these levels of intelligence and government? What is this Council planning? What is it implementing? What will be the effects in this ongoing cycle? Now, obviously, most human beings aren’t the faintest, foggiest bit interested; but, in reality, the Angels, the individual focalizations of Being which incarnate in human forms, are parts of the localized Identity which we call the Archangel, and the planet is the Archangelic Body. It is the natural radiation of that collective focalization which provides the natural laws that govern the manifestation of all dimensions of this planet. Therefore, whether people realize it or not, the angelic reality they are is already participating in the government, the plans and implementation of these purposes, at a level which is above their outer consciousness.
One way we may harmonize the outer consciousness with the inner is to adopt some of the attitudes and ways of functioning which are natural to angelic consciousness. For example, because we recognize we are part of a larger collective design, we are not looking to get our own way in anything. I am, in an individual sense, an integral part of a larger organism; and it is the purposes of the larger whole that interest me more than minute, personal, temporary pleasures, comforts, goals. As an individual, I move with what is happening in the larger outworking of life experience. I let it happen, and I contribute creatively to the movement of larger cycles. An obvious example is our participation in the cycle of a day. The sun rises, and we wake up and start participating. There’s nothing difficult about that. And presumably at night, when the sun goes down, we go to bed. Now those cycles aren’t so difficult to move with. It’s usually in the events of the day that we have the challenges!
For example, there are various cycles that are larger than we can control in the outer sense. Maybe there are economic factors. Today we’re in the midst of a prosperous time in North America, so we move along with that—that’s not so bad. However, if the economy changes, then we need to move happily with that—not that we wouldn’t do things to mitigate the effects of impoverishment, if it came. But the point is, we wouldn’t be fighting against it in spirit. Droughts are forecast for this part of the continent this year. We need to gracefully move with that cycle. Sure, we’ll water our gardens but we won’t be spiritually or emotionally fighting against the cycle. We won’t be praying to God to send us water. After all, if we get it somebody else won’t, presumably. We can let the unfolding external cycles keep moving as they are, being implemented from a larger perspective, and participate as creatively as possible where we are in that context. This allows us, in fact, to begin to share the Identity of the Archangel and consciously harmonize with the larger plans and their implementation for the outworking on this planet, which are being initiated from the inner planes. This is the first, faint, conscious participation with what is transpiring in those inner planes. We are present in the inner planes, as well as the outer ones; it’s just that the outer consciousness isn’t aware of this. But as we condition the outer consciousness, it begins to move with what is happening in the levels of true government.
This shift in location of conscious Identity, from the outer levels of things to the inner levels, allows one to become aware of some of the instrumentations of implementation. And the overall word that describes that is radiation. In fact, all Angelic action, and therefore all Archangelic action, is by reason of what is most understandably described as radiation. The Sun is a great example. Radiation from this focus of power and intelligence shines into its creative field, with its coded messages inherent in the radiation, which causes further action in its creative field, the planets. Moment by moment, creative commands are being issued from that focus point into its creative field, and creative effects occur. Thus, the affairs of mankind on this planet are not totally under human control, but are governed by radiation, dominantly from the Sun. Changes of climate can be implemented with a change of radiation in the Sun, and this could obviously affect the economics in man’s world on Earth. Wars, even patterns of invention which are stimulated within the human consciousness, are the results of (usually) distorted reaction to radiation from such external sources as the Sun, or from radiation from the inner planes.
We need to move with cycles implemented by Divine radiation from the Sun, and elsewhere, as they emerge day by day. Letting cycles move is the key. In the Book of Genesis, God said: “Let there be light,” “Let there be a firmament,” “Let the waters be gathered together,” “Let the dry land appear.” God, which is another name for the Archangelic Focus for this planet, was not creating the Earth all by Him/Herself. There were cosmic factors on the move, larger creative cycles, which the focus of reality in this location, the Archangel, let unfold. The Archangel cooperated with the larger cosmic cycles that were outworking. And, as aspects of the Archangel, this is how we live our lives now, because the same cosmic essences of divine creativity are holographically embodied in the cycles of our living today.
Anyway, the radiation from the Sun stimulates, in various ways, the archangelic factors focused here on Earth. The essences of the Angelic Beings that are here are activated, and they collaborate and participate as required in the larger cycles. We also radiate, for, like the Sun, our primary mode of action is through radiation.
Actually “the life current,” as we call it, is the radiation of our Being. If that radiation is clear, the radiation of the Creator, it moves into our creative fields, our worlds, and stimulates what should be stimulated there, which is what we’re responsible for in the larger design. Thoughts are good examples. We can sit in a chair and feel a quality of radiation emerge. This creates thought forms that are consonant with the current; then the encoded radiation shines through those thought forms into our creative fields and has an effect on whatever is activated by that particular energy. Words are other forms through which radiation shines. The word isn’t the powerful thing, of itself. The word is a vehicle through which a certain spirit, or energy, is radiated, and that will have an effect in the personal creative field.
There will be people, factors, in the creative field which are affected by the radiation—whether they grow or shrivel. Obviously some things need to shrivel and some things need to grow, relative to ourselves, so we don’t judge. The point is, though, that the radiation needs to be clear for the true activation and effects. Actions, too, are means of radiation. You do something and that physical doing is not really the act itself. The act itself is the radiation—the energy coming through the physical action. For example, you smile. The smile is the outer form. If it carries a clear spirit it will convey the true creative encoding, but you can offer a smile that conveys a destructive spirit. The power is not in the form but is in the radiation that is coming through that form. A smile can be creative or diabolical. It’s not the form; it’s the radiation that’s moving through the form.
Our purpose is to express our clear spirit, so that fine substance is generated, through which all the nuances of the radiation can move clearly into our creative field. The problem now is that there’s so little fine substance available in human beings. The radiation shines well enough from the Angels, but as it comes into these lower levels of sparse substance it emerges only partially, and therefore is not fully creative. It is, therefore, often destructive. So, again, how important that the shining of who I am, my character, continues, in order to generate fine substance so that the radiation moves clearly into the creative field beyond.
So, through these miniature human forms we shine forth the quality of radiation that conveys the joy that I know within Myself—within heaven. And the shining of this reality creates forms that embody who I Am in ever wider, varied and subtle ways. Forms are created and pass away eternally, and we are reintroducing this wonderful, everlasting process once again into the outer experience of mankind and of the planet.
