Motherland Tongue And Chant

Uranda June 1953 Class
I'd like to sound the vowels On Tone in conjunction with the processes of radiation in the vibratory sense, utilizing words that are really adapting of the Motherland Tongue. We do not have the right vibratory field as yet to permit the use of the Motherland Tongue’s pure or complete expression, but we do have enough of a vibratory field to use some adaptions, some of the principles involved. If I undertake to utilize a little of this principle this morning for you, it's not so much to cause you to be concerned about the words that are used or the combinations of sound, as it is to emphasize the importance of tonal quality. You may notice that I am inclined to disregard some of what I conceive to be limitations of the musical scale as ordinarily used. And so, if some of you imagine that it should be exactly on some note or other instead of where it is, please don't lose the blessing that is possible to you, because I don’t use that scale as it is ordinarily used. I use a different principle—the same basic principle but it manifests a different principle of application.
My primary concern is to help you realize in our special exercise—not that you'll be attempting to do it—the factors that can actually, even in its present limited level of consciousness and vibratory perception, it can actually be conveyed. It is still more limited in the realm of ordinary speaking, it's true, and we experience something of this in true singing. I’m not suggesting that I’m going to sing. It isn’t in the ordinary sense, singing. But it is expression On Tone in the sense of Vibratory Radiation. Its primary purpose is that radiation, so that you can have an opportunity to practice letting go to the currents that are in radiation with the help of auditory perception. Now it’s one thing for us to have the currents working just silently without anything to particularly center your attention. Your minds, if I were to stand here and work in the current of radiation without making any sound, without doing anything, your minds would tend to get involved in your own thought processes. A thousand and one things might tend to intrude upon your consciousness, or you might let your mind slip over to, well, wherever minds slip to.
One of the basic things that we are here to learn is to get your scattered pieces back together. How often do you find yourself in a position where your body is in one place, your heart is in another place, and your mind is still in another place? If you had more parts you’d be more widely scattered. The principle of getting body and mind and heart together, in one place, in agreement, in alignment, is of vital importance. You cannot have your body in one place, and your mind in another, and your heart in another, and be a complete human being. You will find that you do not have to scatter yourself in order to include all that belongs to your vibratory pattern. I’ll just touch on this point briefly, at the moment, to help you have a clear realization of the principle, but I cannot expect you to understand the deeper aspects of it until you have made a considerable degree of progress from the point where you are.
If you remember the illustration I gave the other day with respect to the tent, and you in the tent. If you are there, that means the whole soul is there—your body, your mind, your heart—you. It doesn't mean that your heart is going on a trip to Timbuktu, or that your mind is playing around in Shanghai, China, and your body just happens to be geographically on Sunrise Ranch. We are undertaking to produce a situation wherein you, the whole you, are at one point, at one time. Now, how much of the time of your existence do you suppose you have that actual state?—precious little, actually, if you stop to think about it—the whole you at any one point at one time. It doesn't tend to be so. Why do people undertake to drown their sorrows with liquors that destroy spiritual sensitivity? Because they are not whole persons—part of them got away somewhere, stuck over yonder. They don't know where, and they undertake to drink something that will give them a few moments of peace. It's gold brick peace made out of lead; it's no good. But the point is that these patterns of insecurity and uncertainty which beset the world, and which destroy so much potentiality of happiness and success, derive from a state of scattered personality. The scattered soul is an ineffectual soul. Remember that! When you are dealing with others in helping them along the way, you may not mention this particular point right to start with, but you must somehow begin to inspire human beings to come to point in relationship to themselves, their scattered soul, their ineffectual soul. Their bodies are ill, their minds are in turmoil, their hearts are places of discord and conflict and uncertainly—insecurity. You cannot be of any real service to anyone until you begin to deliberately—and with understanding, with wisdom, having the sense of the fitness of things—to deliberately begin to inspire the individual to become a whole person in the sense of his own factors. You cannot cause a body as such to become whole, that is, in a true sense of healing, while the individual himself is so out of alignment that his mind is in one place, where it's flitting hither and yon, his heart is in another place, and his body just happens to be where it's plunked down.
We need to be whole in the sense of our parts before our parts can be whole in the sense of the entire being. So, bringing you into alignment is of vital importance. The process by which we attain the state of the single eye is involved in this. If mind and heart are just a little out of alignment you will not have a clear focus. A little out of alignment and you can't see with the eye that is more important than your physical eye. And have you any more priceless possessions in the physical sense than the physical eye? They are priceless. All right. That single eye is still more important—but while your eye is double your whole body is full of darkness. Why? Because there is no way for the light to get in, no way for you to see. So, with mind and heart out of alignment you need to realize that you cannot see. If you do see it will be with a blur and things will not look right. So there must be alignment—there must be alignment of the eye, so that the eye of the heart and the eye of the mind are one and the same. And then it's a comparatively simple process to continue on until your physical seeing, your mental seeing, and your heart seeing are all one. And while this process is going on, there is an inner hearing, not in the sense of hearing physical sound, but an inner perception of hearing which begins to come into alignment so that you can more readily perceive. So we are going through a process of bringing you together into one thing so that you may be a whole soul, without your parts being scattered about willy-nilly. And, in this you are learning how to let your mind come under control. As I started to point out a little while ago, if I were to stand here and undertake to give radiation without any sound, any action, it’s questionable as to how many of you would actually perceive it, or if you perceived it, how well you would receive it, how well you would let yourself come to point, how soon your minds would waver and go flitting where minds flit to.
So we must use some kind of a device to establish vibratory focalization. The device I use is primarily with respect to the sound of my voice, when I'm talking to you. Sometimes, I use a gesture or two, something to add to the perception through the eye, but at this moment we have to depend primarily upon hearing. Once you begin to let yourself come to point and learn to relax at point, you are in a process of coming into attunement within yourself—that is, coming together. Gradually your heart is drawn into position, gradually your mind is caused to be still, to relax into its proper position, in you, so that you begin to be a being. And then, you begin to be more effective. Then the healing power, the working power of God, can begin to manifest through you. But if your parts are not in alignment you are not a channel in a real sense. If your parts are not in alignment you are not in a real sense a channel.
And so we get back to this point of expression On Tone. Do not try to understand with the mind. If understanding is to come it must not be by intellectual means in this; it must be by means of the heart—being and relaxing into it. I don't think there is any reason for anyone to fear it, hesitate, just to relax into it. And if it be unfamiliar in some of its factors don't try to figure it out—what difference does it make? We can begin to establish a vibratory current through which your own instrument of being can be more readily brought into alignment and into attunement; and you will have emphasized for you, at the same time, the vital importance of the vowels from the standpoint of that which you would convey.
