Cycles of the Creative Forces

Cycles Of Creative Forces
Uranda August 6, 1953 Class
Gradually you have been letting yourselves become centered, and when you are truly centered you are a manifestation of Center. We cannot have centering in an absolute sense without agreement; without agreement and centering we cannot truly fulfil the Law, and unless we fulfil the Law we cannot be a means by which the Law is fulfilled in relationship to others. To whatever degree you have found me to be a representative of Center, in the sense of our King who centers the kingdom, you have by response been going through a process of learning to share the responsibilities of Center. You cannot share the responsibilities of Center without being a part of Center. You must be blended into it to be a part of it, and then you begin to share the responsibilities of Center. With responsibility there is privilege, and with privilege there is always responsibility. Opportunity is passed by unless we share responsibility with privilege. If we are a part of Center, in what way is that made evident? The One Who Dwells in the ultimate or absolute sense is our Lord and King, but the evidence of the presence of the One Who Dwells, the evidence of the presence of the kingdom of the King, needs to be made manifest on earth—given form. But we must be in agreement with the King if the kingdom of the King is to take form in us and through us, and if we try to have power or derive power on some other basis we will fail. It may seem to work for a little time but it always fails.
We began to gain some realization of the reality of parenthood in an individual sense—your real parents, and the Child of those parents manifesting as Life in you and through you. But from the standpoint of our Father and our Mother, once we realize the basic principle in relationship to ourselves individually so that we can conform to those principles and not violate them, we forthwith cease to be concerned about the actual manifestation insofar as we are individually concerned. Why? Because as long as the human consciousness insists upon taking the attitude that “I am out here; God is in there, or up there, and I am separate from that,” the mind is maintaining separation. Our goal is oneness, so that our parents and the Child of our parents can have full revelation in the form of our bodies and through our minds and hearts.
The heart is the instrument of the Father, the mind is the instrument of the Mother, and the body is the instrument of the Child, and the fulness of that which is revealed through the body and its capacities is the spirit of the One Who Dwells. But that One is the One who you are in reality, so you do not try to separate yourself from yourself. Once the outer begins to comprehend its relationship with the Inner, it desires to get out of the way insofar as the development of Oneness is concerned. We recognize the application of this same principle with respect to the whole—the body of responding ones in humanity are supposed to be formed into One Body, the Body of God on earth.
Individually we would let the Inner Reality have full control and manifestation, speaking from an outer sense, so in the outer we begin to have some idea of what the Inner Being does. We have to let the Inner Being come out through us, by beginning to accept the same centering that the Inner Being accepts, the same King, the same Lord, the same laws and principles, the same focalization. In this centering we begin to be aware of the fact that the God Being within is centered, according to the patterns that are involved, in the ultimate sense in our King. But our King came on earth in the revelation of the Father, as the centering of our Father. Our King came on earth as a revelation of God the Father.
Let us remember that the first cycle of creation, the first twelve days of creation, remembering that this day of creation is 25,872 years and there were three steps of four cycles each, making the twelve, which came to a close about 400 years before the time of our Master's manifestation on earth, and the new cycle had begun. These cycles work in relationship to the four forces, on the basis of dominance. The First Cosmic Year [of 310,464 years] would obviously be Water. The Water vibration continued from the time of the first beginning of the creation of the world, a little over three hundred thousand years ago, to a point a few hundred years before our Master's birth, so the Second Cosmic Year would be dominated by the next of the four forces, which is Air. So we had an Air Age. Our Master functioned a great deal from the standpoint of water. He emphasized the necessity of being baptized in water, which symbolically means that the individual must let go in truth and be sustained by truth, enfolded in truth, maintained in truth, the reality of God's design and control. That is the baptism of Water, the baptism that relates to the Light that glows. The Master also said, “I baptize with fire,” the Fire of the flame that burns, God's Love. The two baptisms the Master spoke about were the baptism by water, relating to Truth, and the baptism by fire, relating to God's Love. And He had a water vibration in relationship to the 25,872-year cycle. And also from the standpoint of the 2,156-year period. So He had, speaking from the lower vibration moving upward, a Water-Water-Air vibrational pattern. There are two waters and air.
We remember that it is starting all new at the time of the beginning of the next Cosmic Year. The Second Cosmic Year is going to carry the Air pattern, because we have been under Water all the way up to that point as far as that Great Cosmic Year is concerned; but all the other points will start new—exactly as it was at the beginning of creation. So the cycle as far as the outer pattern is concerned is the same, except that in the overall sense we have an Air Age or Air cycle instead of a Water cycle. The beginning of creation was under the Water-Water-Water pattern. “And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
There are three levels of the cycles in relationship to the vibratory patterns in creative magic. We started out with Water-Water-Water, but there were twelve cycles of the 25,872-year period so that means that the cycle of the four forces—Water, Air, Earth and Fire—worked out three times to make the twelve, which completed the First Cosmic Year of the earth's history. And that came to a close about 400 years before our Master was born. The second year—at the starting point but on a higher cycle. Why did the Master come when He did? Because of these cosmic facts, which human beings cannot alter or change, and if we ignore them we get into trouble sooner or later. So the Master came in order to initiate the cycles of resurrection, or restoration on the basis of the beginning of the new Cosmic Year, and He waited until it was well started. The old pattern had been left behind and the new had been clearly established. But in that period He had an Air pattern, which would extend for roughly 310,464 years. He had a Water pattern next under it, that would extend for 25,872 years, and He had a Water pattern that would extend for 2,156 years.
This [2,156 year] Air pattern came to a close in the eighteenth century—about 1760 is close enough, when our country was just making its first beginning. That new vibration had started before 1776 came, the spirit of 1776 was made manifest after the change of that cycle. So up until that time the earth was under the Air-Water-Water vibrational pattern. About 1760-68 it changed over. The 2,156-year period came to a close, but the 25,872-year period is still in operation. So today we have what? Air-Water-Air. The Air Age actually began about 1760. The spirit of 1776, in relationship to the forming of our own country here, is one of the early evidences of the reality of that, and everyone thinks of it as the spirit of 1776, don't they? Air is the symbol of Spirit. So there was the beginning of the Air-Water-Air pattern, and we are in that pattern now. With the turn of this [20th] century it had really opened up and begun to manifest, and we have an Air Age. It is very definitely an Air Age. And from the standpoint of the creative cycles the pattern was set for it. Everything opened up in a basic sense to give man an opportunity to begin to know the spirit of God as he never had had an opportunity before. We see man reacting to this particular pattern now, and we have an Air-Water-Air age, and it is ideal for the purposes of bringing man, restoring man, to a pattern of contact with the spirit of God: Air, the Water, and the Air.
Man under this circumstance has to yield to the Fire also, and so the Lord of the Fire pattern, the Lord of Love, came in the beginning of the new Cosmic Cycle, under the Air, or spirit, dominance with a double Water vibration, to project the reality of God's Love—revealing the essence of God's Love. God's Love is the Fire, and the Fire is the Father—the primary or initial evidence, looking from God's side now, the initial evidence of the Presence of the One Who Dwells. But looking from our side we do not find that first. We find first the Cloud of Glory, then the Light that Glows, and finally the Fire that Burns. But the Fire that Burns is the Father; we have recognized that the Mother was Truth, the Water vibration, and the Child was Life—the trinity of the Shekinah Pattern of Being.
We have the trinity from the standpoint of the individual, the Shekinah Pattern, through which all creative function must work. We have the Shekinah Pattern also in relationship to the trinity of the overall creative pattern, but human beings, most generally at least, do not even dream there is any such thing, and they try to function without regard to it. “Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?” This is Mazzaroth—the science of Mazzaroth is the science of the cycles of the creative forces. You have been introduced to the basic principles. You begin to see them correlating with yourself. But if there is a trinity there is always also a fourth factor somewhere. Insofar as the Shekinah Pattern of Being is concerned, individually speaking we see it as the One Who Dwells, made evident by the Fire that Burns, the Light that Glows and the Cloud of Glory, which correlates with the Fire, the Water and the Life, symbolized in many, many ways.
Now we have the trinity pattern of the creative cycle, with one of the four forces free in the pattern (or sometimes two, depending upon the cycle). But the opening of this Great Cosmic Year, a few hundred years before the Master came, left the two points—the dominance there was Air-Water-Water—it left two points free there to be drawn into pattern: the Fire, the Father pattern; and the Earth, the fallen man pattern that was to be restored to the Divine Design; the earth to be acted upon and the Father to direct the action. But by what means? By the Spirit, the Air; and the Water, the Truth. We remember how the Master emphasized, “God seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth,” and that is the case He had and He knew He had these patterns. Every person who has ever reached a point of really understanding something of creative power has either consciously or unconsciously begun to correlate somehow with these basic cycles of the science of Mazzaroth. “Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?” That is part of the examination that God gives to man who would aspire to be a part of God in action on earth.
So the Father, one of the free elements; and the Earth, the other free element, with the emphasis upon resurrection, movement out of the limited factors of the Earth pattern into the reality of the Father control. But if we are going to understand all of those elements of creative magic we have to remember that there are Four Forces, and that there is always the trinity in relationship to at least one free factor. We have this all brought down to us in relationship to the Shekinah Pattern of Being, which includes the One Who Dwells, and we remember that we must work according to the creative cycles that are established. If we ignore them we will fail. And at the present time we have an Air-Water-Air pattern, so we do not attempt to work under the patterns that the Master used, Air-Water-Water. We cannot now function under that pattern. We are not supposed to. But He revealed the Father pattern.
With the next step, what should be revealed but the Mother Pattern? Isn't that right? He revealed the basic essences and purposes of the Father pattern. The next logical step would be to reveal the Mother pattern. We see it in the Book of Magic, what is commonly called Revelation. Revelation of what? Divine magic, heavenly magic, or the magic of creative processes. The concentration of attention is upon what is called the Bride of the Lamb, the Lamb's Wife, or the formation of the body—the “bride adorned for her husband,” etc.—all that symbolism revealing the development of the Mother pattern.
In the cycle prior to that, what did the great Cosmic Year close with? Fire, right? It would have to. It could not be any other way—the Great Cosmic Pattern. The overshadowing of the Almighty up to that time had always been on the Water vibration. The overshadowing of the Almighty now is on the Apirit, Air vibration. If we see that, we recognize that at the close of the old cycle, for 25,872 years, they had had Fire as the core of the creative pattern—the closing one was Fire. And we look back to the time of Moses; it was under that pattern—the burning bush; the later development of the idea of sacrifice in the fire. That got mixed up somewhat but it was still the principle. Man comprehended fire, the fiery sacrifices and all of that, and it was coming to a close. You will find that the pattern of humanity right back along the line has conformed with these cycles, whether they liked it or not, no matter what the cycles, what man's concepts, or anything else. In the basic sense it has conformed. It couldn't help it. So now, instead of having the Air-Water-Water pattern of the Master's time, or the Water-Fire-Fire pattern that just preceded the Master's time, we now have the Air-Water-Air pattern. And let us remember it, because if you try to function on any other basis you will fail. We have to be cognizant of those basic factors, and if we are, what is the development in our consciousness? There is an awareness of Spirit. The spirit is moving upon the face of the waters. From the standpoint of the Inner pattern, the Almighty Cycle is an Air cycle, moving upon the face of the waters.
And now we have a little section of time in here that began about 1760, a little over two thousand years in duration, where we have the Air pattern on our side of the ledger, next to us as it were. Whatever we are going to do must of necessity be done in that period, because if that period of time ran out and we ran into the Earth pattern before man found his reorientation with God, what would happen? It would be finish for mankind. It would just bury man. Well we do not intend to have it that way, so we must have our pattern of centering developed. The pattern of restoration must work out in relationship to these things, so we begin to realize that we have the Spirit moving upon the face of the waters, not only from God's side but from our side. And the free elements are what? Fire, the Father; and the earth, the thing with which we are working. If you look back you will see that every step of the way by which I have brought you to this hour has been harmonious with these basic principles. I have been helping you to reach a point where you could see them and begin to function with them.
So the free elements—Fire from God's side, Earth from our side. But to do what? To bring the Mother factor to a point of restoration. There were many concepts with respect to Fire, but the real consciousness with respect to God the Father got lost in relationship to man in that period just before the Master's time. The emphasis as far as the children of Israel were concerned was upon what is crudely speaking called Jehovah. Jehovah. What do we find there? What was man's awareness? He was contacting to some degree Mother God, wasn't he? The Water pattern was there in the Almighty factor but it was the Mother God principle, and the Fire pattern was so close to man that man lost its meaning. He did not let it really work the way it should have. He got it all distorted in fire sacrifices of various sorts, and his consciousness in relationship to the Almighty was on the basis of the Mother God principle and not the Father God principle. Remember, we had Water-Fire-Fire, and it was under that pattern that the whole development with respect to the children of Israel worked out. Fire was so close, and we remember the turmoils that the world went through. There were cosmic changes in the sense of the solar system itself, and at one time Venus and Mars were out of their orbits, because of some catastrophes that had taken place in a planetary sense, and Mars came close to the earth's surface; and Venus was thrown out of orbit and came close to the earth's surface, and we had some interesting developments as a result. If you want to study it from the standpoint of a scientist who really has vision, read Velikovsky's book, Worlds In Collision. It ties in perfectly with the outworking of the pattern of history. During that period there were various patterns by which there was fire worship and sun worship and so on, but the Almighty Pattern, the overall pattern, as far as man was able to perceive it, ran into the Water vibration. He was functioning on a basis of a distorted consciousness. He was not seeing clearly. He was not understanding. So the Almighty Pattern that he ran into was the Water vibration, and the water vibration is the Mother vibration. And he got his concepts with respect to God all mixed up on the basis of the distortions of consciousness with respect to the Father-Mother principle in God.
We come along to the point of the next cycle in the spiral of beginning the creative processes. The creative processes that brought the world into form are now being used to bring man back into position in relationship to creation. So the Master appeared in the early part of this Great Cosmic Year, and it was a spirit pattern, Air. And He had Water-Water. But He Himself brought into the world, and projected, the Father pattern of Fire, a new revelation of the Father pattern for man, in relationship to Water. But at that time Water was close to them and they did not understand what He meant with respect to Truth. So they got lost with respect to the Mother principle. But there was a new projection of the Father principle of God which they could begin to comprehend, and you will recognize that everything that we have done in this service has been revolving around a definite recognition of that basic Father principle, that Father vibrational factor. But we have begun to move into a sphere where we begin to understand the Shekinah Pattern of Being, the Four Forces, the creative cycles, etc., to the point where you can begin to see what is really meant with respect to what was in the Old Testament period called Jehovah. That Jehovah Pattern was the Mother Pattern of that which is supposed to be manifest on earth, and man got the Almighty Pattern of the Mother principle mixed up with his concepts with respect to the Father principle, and the distorted concepts of God resulted. But now we are undertaking to function on a basis which recognizes the Father principle. The Master brought it into the world, focalized it, and made it evident for us.
Now we have come into the next step. We have the Spirit, Air factor on our side, then the Water, then the Spirit, Air factor on God's side. This is the period when Mother God must come into her own or man is lost. If he continues to cling to the old concepts with respect to God he is going to fail. We must recognize the proper relationship of the Father principle and the Mother principle in the God idea, or the God concept, if we are going to begin to have a sense of relatedness to what we should mean when we say God—the One Who Dwells. So the development of the Mother God principle is the important thing in this step. How are you going to have the Child without the Mother? Can you tell me? No, it will not work. The Father principle has already been revealed; the Mother principle has been very badly distorted in concept. But we have to see the Mother principle of God—and see the Father principle of God and the Mother principle of God in reality, before we can begin to see the Child principle. Unless the Child principle is manifesting in reality we are not going to have on earth what we ought to have in the creative expression of God on earth through man—man being restored to the point where he can share God's creative work, which is the important thing. But you are not going to have the Child restoration of the pattern work out until you have the Mother restoration of the principle work out.
In essence, the restoration of the Father principle has been taken care of, as far as the Master was concerned, and it is there. There is more we have to do about it, that is true, but we must come to the point of letting the Mother principle have meaning, before the Child principle can truly manifest. So we see that the Old Testament concept with respect to Jehovah was a distortion, but nevertheless it was the reality of the Mother principle, and not, in the sense of Absolute Being, the Almighty. It is the Almighty level—it was then. Our Almighty level is in Spirit, Air. Their Almighty level, as far as the creative cycles were concerned, was Water; and under the fallen state, and man functioning as he was, we can understand how the distortion came. But that was the Jehovah factor. They imagined that Jehovah is a Being up in the sky somewhere, or that He is Father God. But what I am speaking of here, using the term Jehovah, is Mother God, not Father God, and we need to realize that and begin to recognize that the manifestation of the body of God must be in relationship to Mother God.
Father God principle will function in relationship to Mother God principle without being evident in form in an outer sense, because in the Inner and the outer vibrational factors at work in relationship to the world in the creative processes, we have Father God invisible, Mother God visible. But we have not let Mother God have a body, so Father God could not do anything about it. We begin to see, then, that until we let Mother God have a body, Father God, in the invisible cycle, cannot have any real meaning on earth to bring forth the Child, or the reality of the creative fulfilment. Once we begin to let the Mother God principle have meaning—the Master revealed the reality of the Father God principle—we begin to be in position where heaven and earth can be One; in other words union between Father God and Mother God in the sense of the whole world, the whole pattern. And then we begin to have the restoration from the standpoint of the Life factor, or the Child factor, in relationship to individual living or the living in the kingdoms of this world—the mineral kingdom, vegetable kingdom, animal kingdom, etc.
So here we begin to see the correlation of all these many factors, and you begin to see how you are actually functioning in relationship to Father God as an aspect of Mother God to the degree that you have become centered and cleared through so that through you the Child factor, the creative force factor, can begin to manifest. And there is absolutely no other way that any human being can come to know the reality of heavenly magic, or creative magic, or true fulfilment, individually and collectively speaking.
