The Central Secret Of Being

The  Central  Secret  Of  Being

Je - ho - vah  —  Je - su

“And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord.” If Moses had not heard that statement, “I am the Lord,” he would not have been willing to participate in the cycles of outworking by which something of a nucleus power center might be developed, to which others could respond. But it has to all be unified in the pattern or body of Center if it is to have meaning. There is no other way. Then the individual is not developing himself; he is not concerned about self-development. He is concerned about serving the Lord. He is concerned about keeping centered and responding and letting himself have a chance to grow into that which he ought to be, but self-development is out, always. So we have the recognition of the basic principles wherein the human being hears the word, “I am the Lord,” and if He is the Lord, then the human being simply has to yield and let the Lord’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. “And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord: And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH [Yehovah] was I not known to them.”

Here we touch the vibrational factors of the sacred name of God. He had been known before that to Moses’ forebears as God Almighty, and human beings down through the centuries and millennia have known Him as God Almighty. The Indians in this country called Him the Great Spirit, or the Great Father; and in all parts of the world, regardless of so-called Christianity, wherever there was any real pattern of intelligence, as in the realm of the aborigines of Australia, for instance, there was something of a recognition of an Almighty. So man has known God as God Almighty all through the period of man's fall. The human beings who consider themselves to be Christians know Him as God Almighty; the human beings who classify themselves as Mohammedans know Him as God Almighty—they may say Allah, but it means God; it is the same thing exactly, God Almighty. All kinds of people in all kinds of places where there is any recognition of God at all—they know Him as God Almighty, no matter what the particularized concept of Him may be. So there isn’t any shortage on earth of the recognition of God as God Almighty; and yet man has not received the manifestation of power. Man has received certain blessings into manifestation in relationship to himself, yes; but he has not allowed the manifestation of power by which the patterns of being, life expression, might be changed. And here we begin to see the revelation of God in action on earth. “By my name of God Almighty I was known to them, but by my name JEHOVAH [Yehovah] was I not known to them.” The expression I have given for the enunciation of this particular word or name is not as you will come to understand it. It is an introductory step, not a final step; the process by which you can begin to sense the spirit within the word, so that step by step you may come to have the deeper realization of the true significance. But our key, remember, is that this name signified Deity, or God, in action on earth. There must be a manifestation of God.

Now when we go on and study this story of Moses, what do we find? That through Moses and Aaron there was a manifestation of the power of God actually working, that there were certain elders and certain responding ones in the children of Israel who allowed the development of the basic control pattern, and that there was through these men an actual manifestation of God in action on earth. Once we begin to realize the significance of this, we recognize that everything that the Master taught, and exemplified, and did, was actually to reveal the significance of this name. And He talked about doing the works, the manifestation of the power which would do the works. He likewise was a revelation of Jehovah. Likewise He taught the principles that were involved in the process by which man might begin to share the reality of this name, for Jehovah is not in heaven. The centering of Jehovah is in heaven, but Jehovah is not in heaven. And the only way Jehovah can be anywhere is by the manifestation of Deity through man on earth. There was the manifestation through our Lord and King when He Himself was on earth in the body that was called Jesus—and there was Jehovah. There was the manifestation through Moses, and it was Jehovah. There was the manifestation of power through certain of the other prophets back along the line, but not adequate or complete; little points of manifestation. But Jehovah is God in action through man on earth.

You look back along the line of your own experience. What have you received from God that did not manifest through human beings, through some human form? What have you received from God, at any time, under any circumstance, which did not manifest by reason of some human form? You may say, “Well I've received some blessings from the animal kingdom and from the vegetable kingdom, and so on.” Yes, but how did they become blessings to you, even then? Was there no relationship of those blessings to any human form? Not even your own? No, there is absolutely no such thing as the manifestation of the blessings of God on earth to man except in relationship to man, through man, through some human form. Whatever of God has ever reached you, even your own life force, manifests to you because of your human form, and without that human form you, whatever you think yourself to be, would not be able to talk, or speak, or express anything whatsoever on earth. So everything, without any exception, that has come to you as a blessing from God has appeared through some human form. Sometimes the human form did not realize it perhaps, sometimes it was an inadequate instrument, but something of blessing did accrue. But once we begin to see this the way God intends us to see it, we begin to recognize that you have a responsibility of being a human form in the body of Center, by which the blessings of God may be made manifest on earth—you begin to be a part of Jehovah.

We could note the particular nature of this name, Jehovah. Je - ho - vah: three distinct syllables, three syllables signifying the manifestation of the Trinity. We use the word Jesus as the name of the body of the One who was the Center of Deity at that time, and is now. But what other pronunciations are you aware of with respect to the word Jesus? What about certain songs, for instance? Kathy? “Jesu [Yehsoo].” Jesu: that is my point. You have all heard the song. That is my point. Je. Je. A person doesn't even realize the significance of the word Jesus when he says Jesus, unless he is using it out of consideration of his hearers in order to maintain a meeting point of consciousness. But Jesus is not the right way to say it, and doesn't carry the vibrational significance. The word or name Jesus does not give those who use it in prayer or meditation a vibrational contact factor in relationship to God. Consider all the millions of people who use the word every day, and where is the manifestation of power? The name did not provide them with a vibrational contact with the reservoir of power of the creative field. It remained a vacuum. It did not work—just words that were spoken and had no force back of them. Jesu—that again is an intermediate step, not the final. It is an intermediate step but sufficient for the moment. Jehovah [Yehovah]. We begin to enter into the vibrational contact. Let me demonstrate. We say Jesus. You may have a certain appreciation for the word and it may produce some answering chord within you, but let go to vibrational factors. Je - su. Je - su.

To the degree that you are attuned to the Divine Source you can tell the difference, something that must be recognized in spirit, the spirit of the word and not the letter only—for the letter killeth. So we have the three syllables in this name. The first suggests the Essence of Center, the manifestation of God on earth, the Je, whether in Jehovah or Jesu, the Je in both cases signifying exactly the same thing—in both the Old and the New Testaments, the same thing exactly. Next we see ho, the centering in the creative field, the Centering in Deity. And then the steps of manifestation in relationship to consciousness and body, individually and collectively—vah. Anyone who does not have some understanding of the Mother Tongue could study this word for a lifetime and never gain the significance of it, never figure it out. It carries symbolical meanings, hidden meanings, because man has found some way to desecrate and spoil everything that God has expressed to reveal Himself. Man has even desecrated and spoiled himself, and if he would do that, he would not hesitate to desecrate and spoil other symbols utilized in relationship to the revelation of Deity, and the means by which Deity may come into the field of action in power on earth—ho. The Je goes back to the Motherland too. The whole word derives from the Motherland Tongue, the Tongue that man lost at what is pictured in the Bible as the tower of Babel

But now, with respect to the Mother Tongue, perhaps I should remind you that it utilized somewhat different or higher principles than we have in any language in use on earth today, the dependence upon the vibrational factors released by the speaker or comprehended by the hearer—in other words the feeling factors. No word in the Motherland Tongue could be set down and defined as Webster undertook to do with the English language. It could not be done. It did not need to be done in the first place, but it could not be done. There could be an outline of certain significant keys in relationship to the proper use of the word, but words were fundamentally channels for the release of vibratory factors which had to be internally perceived. “The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” So words, within the scope to which they were used, were channels for the interplay of vibratory factors which were perceived heart to heart. It entered into the field of what we would classify, using a very limited term, as mind reading. Actually it was not mind reading. It was heart exchange. But impure hearts cannot function correctly in this regard in relationship to the Divine Design. It cannot be done. So we see why it was that the language was lost—the tower of Babel. They had to make up new languages in order to convey specific ideas which could be intellectually comprehended. Now the conscious mind or intellect did comprehend with respect to these other things, but you know that so-called mind reading is never conscious mind to conscious mind. It is always heart to heart, or subconscious to subconscious. The proper correlations of conscious and subconscious aspects of mind are necessary if there is going to be any intelligible interchange, any effective interchange.

I have pointed out before that a few words in the Motherland Tongue would convey more than could be said in the same number of paragraphs using the English language. Now you begin to see why; not that the word as such was supposed to convey everything that was conveyed, as we use a word that is completely defined and means such and such a thing according to the dictionary and we use it that way. No. You will have noticed that I use words within the general scope of the dictionary significance but I begin to make them have an essence of meaning that the dictionary does not suggest. Or had you noticed? We begin to convey something beyond the word—that is, the spirit of the word. The spirit of the word fits the outer form of the word of course, but is an exchange heart to heart, not conscious mind to conscious mind direct. It reaches conscious mind, it comes from or is shaped by conscious mind in the speaker and in the hearer; but you have found yourselves, sometimes on the basis of that which was conveyed, mistranslating as it was expressed by my mind and heart in the current to you. You felt it, and sometimes, as it came up into your conscious mind, it got mistranslated into preconceived ideas and did not convey to you what was actually expressed. I think you have all had that experience. The point is, then, that as you have grown you have more and more come to a point where that which is rising up from your heart, or subconscious realm, in the current of our interchange, was reaching the level of your conscious mind without being distorted by mistranslations and the idea that was expressed from me to you was conveyed and comprehended. Not perfectly perhaps, but it is growth.

Sometimes people say to me, “Well I think your services, or your classes, are getting better and better. You're doing a lot better job than you used to do.” I always have to smile. I have always done this good a job. It is not a matter of the difference of my expression. I had to work within the scope of the response patterns afforded me. But it is because you have been going through a process of development—not self-development, because you couldn't develop yourself—but a process of development which appeared naturally and automatically because you let the Law work. And as you developed you found that more and more of that which was conveyed in the spirit of the word was reaching the realm of the consciousness of your mind; so you comprehended and the cycle was complete without suffering a lot of distortion within yourself.

We begin to see that here we have the Central Secret of Being. It was revealed by Jesus Christ on earth, yes, but that is not the first time it was revealed. It was revealed here in the range of the children of Israel, and that was not the first time it was revealed. It had been known on earth long before the first faint beginnings of Egypt, but it had been forgotten. Now the Lord said, “I am the Lord: and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.” And so your stay here is fundamentally, basically, under instruction and training to reach a point where you not only know about but know Jehovah, where you become a part of that Inner Reality made manifest. “I was not known to them” in this sense.

This is the next step up in the revelation of the things of God, the Lord said. Now, as the Lord, we can recognize the Inner Point of Focalization and say, “the Lord,” and it is correct; or “the LORD of Lords,” and it is correct. If we are functioning in limited realms of consciousness we may say, “Jesus Christ” to signify the LORD of Lords, so that people will understand something of what we mean; but fundamentally it is not correct. He said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches.” Are the branches to be separate from the vine? And if they are cut off, do they not wither and die? “I am the vine, ye are the branches.” That is Jesu—the inner and the outer, the blending of heaven and earth. That is the basic significance of Jesu. Jesu: the union of heaven and earth. But here the step was the projection of heaven into earth. Our Master on earth made manifest the reality of the union of heaven and earth. He showed that they were not in actual fact separate. But the beginning of the cycle had to be the projection of heaven into earth. While heaven is not made manifest on earth in the sense of the world body of humanity, there is the necessity of the projection of heaven into earth, and is there going to be any power made manifest on any other basis?

You see that the first part of the cycle with respect to the Master, even in His public ministry, was Jehovah. It came to the point of Jesu, but it was not Jesu at the beginning. Remember, the angel said—it was said just a little before His birth, so that the keys would be clear—“And they shall call his name Jesus.” Well they started calling Him that right as soon as He was born. But He was not that, in the sense of the world; He was in the sense of Himself but not in the sense of the world. So at first it was Jehovah, and it became Jesu. And until there is the projection of heaven into earth we cannot have the manifestation of the oneness of heaven and earth, and that is what we are here for. Not to develop ourselves, or to gain power, or to do something else that we might think we want to do. That is what we are here for: so that man may come to know that heaven and earth are one, and that the things of God shall be projected into the world; for when man was first created and God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the … earth,” He was creating Jehovah, and before the fall Jehovah ruled on earth. And the restoration of the Divine Estate restores Jehovah to manifest expression and dominion on earth, and you are invited to be a part of the Body, or the form of manifestation, of Jehovah, according to your response, capacity, and proper place in the cosmic scheme of things. And so, blessed ones, this introduces to you the great significance of this Central Secret of Being.
