Out Of The Dawn

Out  Of  The  Dawn





Uranda  March 28, 1954  p.m.



This morning, we recall, we were considering that which is immortal. Trying to cause the mortal to become immortal is a vain and futile effort. But we began to see that man has not clearly comprehended that which is immortal and that which is mortal. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2016/05/from-immortality-uranda-march28-1954-a.html] We have recognized, in relationship to those who have passed from this sphere of things, that all that was noble and right, all that was truly lovable or Divine which was made manifest in that life, still remains—not necessarily in the visible realm where we can see it, although each one who allows the Divine to appear certainly leaves, in the lives of others and in the pattern of circumstance, that which is a continuation of being. But in the realm of the eternal, that which is eternal remains. That which is eternal finds expression on earth through man to the degree that man allows the eternal to manifest. As we comprehend these things we are in position to re-examine the pattern of function as it applies to ourselves and to others. We have recognized that that which is eternal comes down from God out of heaven into the earth, or to put it another way, it comes to us from out of the east, from out of the Garden of God. And coming into the pattern of life, it manifests for the time in which it should manifest, or for the time or period it is allowed to manifest.


We have given some consideration to man and his capacities. We realize that human beings have for a long period of time undertaken to penetrate into the realm of the invisible. There are those who are engaged in what they call occult activities, and there are those who classify themselves as mystics, because their primary concern is with that which is invisible. Because such efforts are made on a basis of human concepts, probing into realms where man is not really at home, such persons exert an influence in a vibratory field where they produce for themselves that which they expect to find in relationship to the fringes of the invisible realm. I mention this so that we may the better understand the principle as it relates to the ordinary processes of living. Those who call themselves spiritualists, for instance, seeking to communicate with the so-called dead, establish for themselves that which they desire or expect to find. That which they contact, imagining it to be the spirits of the departed, is something which they themselves manufacture; they produce it. To say that they do not contact anything would be untrue. What they do not realize is that they themselves produce that which they do contact, and then, because they contact that which they expected to contact, they think they have proof that they are right. These spirits, so called, which they contact are not the spirits of the departed but spirits that they themselves have manufactured by the processes of their own function. There are those who function in the range of the extremes of black magic, for instance—which comes in the range of the occult—and the evil spirits they contact and use presumably give evidence of evil spirits; but what is not generally known is that they produce that which they contact and use. Those who believe in evil spirits manufacture evil spirits, and then proceed to contact them and find the evidence that they are right in believing in evil spirits. Martin Luther, for instance, had a very, very great faith in the devil. No matter how much faith he may have had in God, it is obvious that he had great faith in the devil, and so to him the devil was real. He himself manufactured the devil that was real to himself. And it is always so with respect to those who dabble in the fringe range between the visible and the invisible.


Now this range between is of vital importance. It is the range by which that which is of a higher realm of being may be brought into contact with our level of being. Spirit, God's spirit as such, cannot directly contact the physical body. There must be a connecting link, and in our previous meditations we have studied the nature of this connecting link in the field of the pneumaplasm. This is such a vast subject—and one which tends to be fascinating to human minds—that we must be careful not to defeat our immediate purpose by delving into it too extensively at the moment. But to whatever degree we realize that we each one have a share in the forming of that which is in this range as it relates to ourselves, we can surely begin to see our pattern of responsibility. If that which is of the Divine Design, in the true current of the spirit of God, under the control of His will, is allowed to extend into this range or borderland without interference from us, it can take form in the vibrational realm of our own beings, and be in position to have form in the physical realm of our beings. But man has for so long eaten of the forbidden fruit, feeling himself to be justified in judging good and evil, that he has developed a pattern, common to all human beings, whereby he produces in this range many things of which he himself is not immediately aware.


It is truly said, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." Now most people do not understand how this works out. The only way we can reach into the invisible realm is through the feeling nature. The mental pattern of our own beings cannot really extend into this realm except through the feeling nature. An idea about which we have little feeling will not make any impression in this range between the visible and the invisible, the connecting layer of vibrational substance extending from the sea of glass clear as crystal into the realm of physical substance. Most people do not even have an awareness, in any real sense, of the fact of this realm. But any feeling which you have in a deep sense is projected into this realm, and this realm is always causing something to come to us from out of the east. Through it something is moving toward us all the time. It is supposed to be the means by which the things of the Garden of God come to us out of the east and take form in our lives. But man, lacking peace and serenity, lacking control, has been subject not to God but to all kinds of things and conditions out here, ill things, and he has felt justified in having deep-seated reaction to these ill things. What happens? The reaction pattern through the feeling nature projects out like a wave into this connecting range, and then that which man has produced today by reason of his feeling reactions is planted, as it were, in the east and then it is harvested out of the east; it comes back to him. Whatever he projects into that range must come back to him. It cannot go in any other direction but back to himself. No matter how justified it may seem to be to have that reaction, regardless of the processes of rationalization, whatever they may be, those ill things which the human being establishes in the feeling nature, through reactions of various sorts, are projected into this connecting link, because man projects on that basis into this invisible range which connects him with the higher invisible range which he cannot directly contact.


Because man is unaware of its nature he produces in that range, by his own function, a discordant pattern on a forceful basis, which prevents the shaping in that range of what should come to him from God. Now if man would leave that vibrational realm alone, not breaking into it, not disturbing it, that which he has fed into it out of the past would soon all feed back and pass to the west; that is, to the past. And then that which was of God, or the Garden of God planted eastward in Eden, would begin to have an opportunity to take form in that vibratory level; it would come to a point where the human being could contact it, begin to receive it into form through himself, through his actions, words, deeds, and then that would begin to flow past him into the past and he would be expressing reality. You are not supposed to express into the future. You are supposed to express into the present, to establish that which goes into the past. Man has so little trust in God that he tries to produce in his future that which he thinks he wants to reap, and so, by his various patterns of function, he is continually doing something with that which is to come to him out of the future; he is reshaping it somehow, not trusting God. He just must get his fingers on it and shape it in that range where it is susceptible to shaping in the vibrational realm. He cannot just leave it alone. But once you begin to trust God you cease trying to shape your future. As long as you are bound and determined to shape your future you will. You will spoil what God has prepared for you. You will upset it, change it, mar it, destroy it, and establish something that you have produced yourself, and then that will be what comes to you from out of the future.


Now you have a part to play in this moment, allowing that which is coming out of the future to take form in the moment so that it may be the form of the past, and moment by moment that which you do becomes the past. Generally speaking, the past is not altogether satisfactory to the individual. That which is extending into his past he does not altogether like. But once we reach a point where we trust and, trusting, centered in God's love, we are at peace, serene, tranquilno violent emotional storms disrupting the vibratory field of the future as it relates to ourselves—the remnant of what has been sown passes by, comes to the present, takes form to some degree, and goes into the past. Then we come to the point where that which is coming out of our future is not spoiled, distorted by our own function. It is of God.

At this point we need to realize that the creative field as it relates to us in this future pattern, the vibratory range, is not just our own. Once having established a path through, so to speak, you may maintain that narrow path in relationship to yourself on a true pattern, but that will not be the wholeness of that which comes into your life, because your pattern is related to other people's patterns. You cannot draw a line into the future and say, "Everything that comes to me from now on is going to be just what God made." However you can hold steady and keep a clear path through. If I did not do that we would not have what we do have here. But that which comes out of the future in relationship to myself, for instance, is not limited to that path. In this field we all have a hand, each one of you. Whatever is there in relationship to us, and to many other people, is never an altogether individual thing. Something of it is yours; something of it is someone else's.


When we reach a point where we let this connecting range to the east of us clean out—as it will if we just leave it alone—when we let it clean out so that we are not producing anything in it that is not of the Divine Design, we can begin to have a broad path into the future. But the first contact you get through will be a very narrow path, just a little band so to speak, a strait and narrow way, connecting you up with heaven, the Divine Pattern of Being. And along that narrow path you can receive something of that which is of God's will for you, but those around you must begin to function correctly before it can broaden out and permit the larger manifestation of God's will. For as long as the vibrational field, the emotional realm, as it relates to us, includes others—and unless it does include others it is of no value—then that which others do relates to this field; there is interference.


Every time I begin to feel that we have an opportunity to get a broad conveyor belt, shall we say, from out of the east cleared so that we can let that which is of God come through into the realm of form, someone has some kind of a reaction pattern, and oh, they are so justified: "So-and-so did that. I am justified." And there it goes again. Projected into the future, through which we must receive whatever we do receive from God, is that which does not belong, that which is going to mar the pattern of God's provision or prevent much or all of its manifestation, and so we must reap that. I have talked and sought in every way that I could to inspire you to reach a point where you would cease interfering with that field, and yet you have felt justified for so many reasons, you have felt justified in doing that which projects into that field. And once it is there we have to deal with it, we have to put up with it and get it out, and it takes time. Now we can keep on projecting into that field until we perish from the earth, if we are so inclined, and we will never receive the pure current of what God has in store for us, His provision, that which should take form. For most reactions are on the basis of displeasure at what is in form in some fashion—displeasure at what is in form. So the individual reacts to what he does not like and produces more of what he does not like, and then what he does not like keeps coming. He still does not like it, so he produces some more of it and refuses to let it pass out of his life. The only way you can interfere in that range is by or through your feeling nature, whatever controls in the feeling nature. Once the heart or feeling nature is pure—that is, it is controlled by God—then your connecting link with that layer through which the things of God must come is of a nature that does not interfere with what God is providing, and the things of God begin to get through to you.


We can look back to the time when the disciples were attempting to develop what has become known as Christianity. They had certain ideas, certain beliefs. They were going to obey what they thought the Master intended them to do. But if you go back and examine the pattern as it was you will see that they tended to project into this range something which was not of God's design at all. There was only one who did not function notably on that basis. Peter, for instance, and Paul, just to illustrate, had a concept of persecution against themselves. They expected persecution. They deliberately did things to produce that persecution. When they could have modified expression and been reasonable, they remained hard and unreasonable, and with deep feeling projected into the future that which they and their followers had to receive in the sense of persecution. They produced the condition which caused them to be thrown to the lions and burned at the stake, and all of the rest of it. The situation as it was in the world, difficult as it was, would not have produced that if they had not established it in their own futures by their own attitudes. It has been said, "That which I feared is come upon me." Why? Because the pattern of fear projects something into the future and then it comes sliding out of the future. How far do you think you can project something? A little boy with a squirt gun, who makes it go ten feet or twenty feet? He gets it out there into the future. Little boys and girls with the squirt guns of their own feeling natures, shooting into the future! And then it comes flowing back to them and they do not like it. So they play with their squirt guns all over again and splatter all over the place, shooting it into the future, and here it comes sliding back. You cannot make anything stay in the future. Whatever you project into the future of your own self-active expression is going to come sliding right back out again. That is true, whether we like it or not. You cannot make it stay out there in the future. Something is going to keep coming out of the future as long as you are here to receive it—something. What is it going to be? It depends on what is in the future, and on your capacity to receive, and on your being in position to receive what is coming out of the future. Many times human beings fail to receive something out of the future which is right there at hand to come from God. They are too busy doing something else, chattering about this and that, to receive it. It is there, ready to be born into the realm of form, but they are too busy with something else, following after their own fancies. They are not on hand to share in the delivery into the realm of form.





Frankly, it is impossible for me to establish and maintain a clear pattern out there in the future for you. I can help you do it, out in the future, but I cannot do it alone. It takes you. And as we agree on earth as touching these things, and stop projecting something unreal into the future which must come back to us, we begin to be in position to receive that which is coming out of the east from God to us. And then, as we begin to learn how to receive that which is coming from God, receive it into the realm of form, we can begin to let it flow into the past. The things of God need to extend into the past. That is what the Master was talking about. He said, "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Of course people have arbitrarily taken that to mean various ideas about Jesus coming. It doesn't have anything to do with that at all. But shining out of the east even unto the west will be the coming of the Son of man; that is, the Divine expression of man—which is to say, the revelation of God, or the spirit of God. If we begin to let the spirit of God get through to us so that there can be an outpouring of it, where is the outpouring to be? Into the present, and then extending on into the past. And where does it come from? Out of the east. That is what the Master was talking about. The spirit of God must come out of the east; that is, out of the future, into the present and on into the past. And when it extends into the past as far as we can see, and into the future as far as we can see, and on both sides of us as far as we can see, we will then be in the midst of the Garden of God.


As it is, we are at the edge of the Garden of God. Man has been out of the Garden, but at the edge of it, down through all these thousands of years. It is there, but this little level of the connecting pattern man could interfere with. He could project something into it and prevent the manifestation of what God had made. He could produce what he himself would receive out of the future, and he was not content to trust God. "Oh, I know I must shape it this way and I must shape it that way." He begins to see something taking form and he must get his busy little fingers on it and shape it so that it will be better than what God could possibly make. And then he receives it and it is empty. It is not what he thought it was going to be, and then he blames God. Before we can be in the midst of the Garden we must let it extend into the past. Generations before us have been at the edge of the Garden. Every step of the way since the fall man has been at the edge of the Garden. Every man and woman on the face of the earth has been at the edge of the Garden, and something has been coming to each one out of the future. But man has had to make it, so he thought. Something of God got through to most, at least, or life would have been intolerable, but it was not the pure expression of God's gift, because man had to shape it his way.


Now I have suggested the proper function before, and I have pointed out that the things of God must come to us from out of the east, but perhaps tonight we can have a deep enough realization of what actually takes place, so that we can deliberately stop spoiling—deliberately stop spoiling—what God would give to us. Man can play in this field and produce all sorts of things. He can demonstrate various things, he can produce fantastic things, but they amount to nothing. Or he can learn to leave it alone, and let what happen? Have you been trying to get through the gate into the Garden of God? Do you want to go through that gate? You never will, in the sense of moving through it. Why? Because you would have to go into the future to do it. How can you go into the future? Can you step into the day after tomorrow and live the day after tomorrow before tomorrow comes? Can you? Can you step into the future? No. Very well, then, stop trying to get through the gate that leads to the Garden of God. There is the sword, the flaming sword that turns every way—the flaming sword, God's love and truth, that turns every way at the gate. Now the gate will come up to you as close as you will let it, and if you will really stand still and see the salvation of the Lord the gate will pass by you and go into the past. You stand still and let it come out of the future, truly, and you will go through the gate, because the gate passes back past you. But if you try to go through the gate you never will. However if you will stand still the gate will come up to you and pass you and go into the past, and then you will be inside the Garden of God. It is the only way. Serenity, peace, nonreaction, trust, faith, all of the ideas that have been advanced and have been so ambiguous to most human beings—just doing that in real trust, real centering in God, and it comes up to us. But we must do something about letting it take form. We must share with God the work of giving it form on earth. If you stop spoiling your future and let that pass so that you are next door, so to speak, to that which God would give you, then you must begin to dare to receive that into form. You have to have a little training to learn how.


Now what is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit? I have known some fantastic ideas on that score. However the minute that which is of God, that comes through the Garden out of the east, actually begins to flow through you, be born through you in body and mind and heart, so that it can take form and move into the past, that is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. But it does something. It does not come swishing through just to give you a little demonstration of what heavenly atmosphere is like, just a little bit of magic or something. It is something real, something that is to take form. Now if we imagined this layer to be—well how thick should it be? How far into the future? Ten minutes into the future? Oh, it is more than that. How should we measure it? Anything we say in illustration will be a bit arbitrary, but we will say an hour, sixty minutes in the future. Sixty minutes into the future. And we will say that from the physical form to that point an hour in the future is about three feet.


Here we have physical form. Next we have the intervening substance until it connects up with pure spirit. That is as far as we can go, to the range of pure spirit. And in between we have the intermediate substance. Now if we are functioning in certain definite patterns, attitudes, we keep projected out here for eighteen inches, eighteen inches into the future, at least thirty minutes, a pattern which constantly changes the future. You know, most of you are that close to the things of God. Just thirty minutes, or eighteen inches. If you keep something projected out there, that eighteen inches—"This is what I am; this is what I expect; this is what I am going to do; I am going to shape it"—then the Garden is still eighteen inches in the future, thirty minutes from now, and heaven is still thirty minutes away. In other words we waste this thirty minutes, then the next thirty minutes, and the next thirty minutes, because we keep the human pattern projected out there. We never let it all back up to where we are. And everything from God has to screen through that which we project.





Thirty minutes! "About the space of half an hour." Do you think I was arbitrary when I said thirty minutes? That was the estimate utilized by the author of the Book of Revelation. So the space of half an hour is about what it would take for any human being to let the future pattern clear so that the things of heaven could start manifesting. But to get someone to do that. I have been working for twenty years to get someone to do that, and heaven is only thirty minutes away for hundreds of thousands of people, and I have not yet been able to convince people that the Garden is really there, only thirty minutes away. Thirty minutes to heaven! And who will believe deeply enough to do what must be done to prove it? Does it take too much faith, and are your own ideas too precious and your own feelings and attitudes too important? If you let that pass away, will everything be gone, with nothing worthwhile left? Are you afraid to let the unreal pass away? Yet this that you have projected out there for eighteen inches, that thirty minutes, is going to pass away sooner or later. You may be able to hold it until a day or two before you die, but then it will begin creeping back, and when it gets back you will be gone. That is the end of it. It is all over then. It is all over, and no resurrection. Life was spent and life was done, and what happened? Too bad! Perhaps someone else will listen.


Heaven, just thirty minutes away! Eighteen inches! If you could just let it back up—all your pet ideas, all the things you keep projecting into the future. You can't get it out very far. I doubt if any of you could get it quite eighteen inches, try as you may. I doubt if it is that far for any of you. But even if it is six inches, that is too far. It has to come back, and what you have shaped, and the thing you hold out there as yourself, must pass away. Now it will, sooner or later; it is mortal; it is going to pass away. It is so nice to let it do it while the body still lives, while you still have the ability to use your mind and your heart, while you have the ability to see all the beautiful things that God has made and do your part in letting the things of God come down out of heaven into the earth. It is so easy, but you have to trust enough to stop eating the forbidden fruit. You have to be willing to let what you think you are pass away, so that you may become what you really are. Now I doubt if there is anyone here who would actually let his heaven get to him in thirty minutes. It could be done—it could be done. It is possible to any of you here, but it is hardly likely that you would do it.


Thirty minutes to heaven, and how long is it going to take you to get there? If you try to get there through the thirty minutes, it will take your whole lifetime and then you will not make it, because as soon as your mind stops functioning, your emotional nature stops functioning, and your hard, determined will cannot hold it anymore, this that is stuck out here in the future for eighteen inches will start backing up and it will pass away and be gone. You will never get to heaveneven though heaven is only thirty minutes away—by trying to go through the thirty minutes to heaven into the future. You have to back up and let what you have made back up, let it pass away. You cannot see what is coming yet, but you have got to let it pass away. The human being must be ready to relinquish what he has made himself to be, willing to let God make him be what he should be.


Someday there are going to be a few people who come to agreement on earth as touching these things, and they are going to be willing to relinquish all the things that separate them from God, from heaven, from one another. They are going to come together with one accord in one place and they are going to start receiving the things of heaven into form together, and that is going to be a most glorious experience for those who dare to do it—the beginning of the manifestation of the spirit of God, the birth into form according to our Master's plan and purpose, according to His instruction given nearly two thousand years ago. Then it was only thirty minutes away, when He gave that instruction. Heaven was only thirty minutes away nineteen centuries ago. It still is. It is right there. And we are still looking to find someone who will let it connect up in this earth, in this world. You have let something of it get through, yes, but you have not let it connect up. It could be with you here, if you are willing to let it be so in the spirit of the Living Christ.

There is a great calm in this. A calm in which the words "My way is easy and my burden is light" become the true measure of a man, or woman.
A great relief!

A remarkably new approach to understanding time as a function of distance from the present, and its relationship to pneumaplasm. Be still and let it come all the way to, through, and into the past. Ultimately its a total 100% release of all concern beyond the present for half an hour ... sounds as though it should be simple. And in fact it is far more simple, too simple even, for my mind in its present state; so it would appear. Its ... nothing at all ... for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes the new and improved manifestation would begin, and the trick would then be to not allow one's habits to catapult one off the conveyor belt once more. Total trust.
