Into Thy presence, O Lord, we come with singing, and into Thy courts with praise. Then we are silent before Thee, that Thy temple may be prepared for Thy coming. So may Thy Word be spoken on earth in this hour. Thy Word is the bread of life by which Thy people are nourished. Thy Word is the security of life by which Thy people are sustained. Thy Word is the creative power of life by which Thy will is done. Thus the Lord speaks to the faithful ones out of the whirlwind and says:
“Who are these arrogant imbeciles who darken counsel by words without knowledge? Put away the foolishness. Accept the responsibilities of manhood and womanhood, that my Word may be heard, demanding of thee, that thou mayest answer: Where art thou when I now relay the foundations of the earth? Answer me. Who laid the measures thereof now, if thou knowest, or who has stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the heavenly foundations fastened or who laid the cornerstone of truth thereof; when the morning stars sing together, and all the sons of God shout for joy?”
The creative forces of God work in their sequence to bring forth according to His will. We assemble, that we may indeed be with one accord in one place, knowing agreement in God. In the quietness of that agreement, in the stillness, serenity and peace of the heaven, the spirit of God moves as the whirlwind moves. Out of that movement springs the Word of God spoken on earth.
Water is the name given to the first force, when the spirit of God moves upon the face of the waters. Out of this movement springs the Word of God which says to the faithful ones of the earth, “Where art thou?” This Word is spoken through those who know the truth in their living. We acknowledge our responsibility in this. “Where art thou as I lay the foundations of the earth, the new earth?”
I speak these words for myself. You rightly speak them for yourselves. I cannot speak them for you, only for myself. You cannot speak them for any other, just for yourself. In this hour this morning as I speak these words you speak these words, silently withal, but they are your words just as surely as they are mine, spoken to all the world but heard in the hearts of those who are faithful to the Lord: “Where are you as I lay the foundations of the earth?” These foundations are established in the new heaven. Because of the new heaven, the new earth takes form. We share the responsibility for the new heaven in this hour, and in every hour, as the Word of truth is spoken in living on earth.
Out of the whirlwind comes the Word. Out of the air of spirit, by reason of the water of truth, comes the Word which establishes the earth, the earth under heaven. The foundations of the earth are laid; the earth takes form. It only takes form because those foundations are laid. Individually we speak the Word, “I lay those foundations in my living.” That is where we are, doing what we are here to do. And so the earth, which is a new earth, takes form. It takes form, revealing that the morning stars do sing together in oneness, in purity of tone, and the sons and daughters of God shout for joy in their living. There is no experience more joyful to human beings than that of living. Dying is a sorrowful experience. The Word of God is spoken on earth, being revealed in this fashion. The kingdom comes. The power of creative action by spirit is known and the glory shines round about.
We rightly bring all this to focus in agreement that it may be so established, not only in this hour but in each succeeding hour as we move in the cycles of the whirlwind to let God's will be done. There is a saying in the human world that if you sow the wind you reap the whirlwind. Humanity as a whole, which is composed of individuals, reaps the whirlwind. We do not see the whirlwind as being merely destructive but as being the source for the creative fulfilment of God's will. Associating ourselves with that movement of the whirlwind, behold, all things are made new.
It is indeed arrogant imbecility for human beings to try to lead the world with any expectation of a creative fulfilment. Yet there are vast numbers of people doing this, or attempting it. God is forgotten, regardless of such claims of the lips as there may be. In the forming of the United States of America the attitude of those who were responsible at the time was that there should be one nation under God. This view is enshrined in the constitution of the United States. It seems that in such instances nobody dares use the word; it might create an uproar. While, as I say, the words may not necessarily mean very much if used, the fact of being under God is absolutely essential to the reality of a nation. Where else on the face of the earth is there even lip service paid to this? There is no true nation except under God.
Of course using words to this effect does not necessarily mean very much, but still the absence of those words certainly indicates the state of human consciousness. How to build a nation, ignoring God? It is quite impossible. No wonder there is wrangling. Those who wrangle are not wrangling about God but about themselves, trying to take this portion of the earth by force for human purposes. And there is a question of course as to how this shall be done. Nobody can agree. Of course not, how could they? This is continuing evidence of movement away from God. “Let us have a nation without God” is what is fundamentally being said. This is true the world around.
We ourselves are concerned with the nation of God on earth, calling it the kingdom: a nation under God, a great nation consequently, a nation not only capable of superseding all humanly constructed nations—the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ—but of providing the government of God for the children of men and, by reason of the children of men, for the whole creative field for which they are responsible. This comes with certainty as there is present on earth, within the body of mankind and the consciousness of mankind, the Word of God spoken. The Word of God spoken does not necessarily tell human beings about God. What words could possibly be used in any case? Theologians have been struggling with this for ages and have darkened counsel by words without knowledge. It is that God should be present on earth, in action on earth, the reality of Jehovah. In this hour we accept the responsibility for this individually or we remain, with countless others, arrogant imbeciles. The Word is spoken in this hour, let it be spoken in all the hours to come, by me. This is my Word. I trust it is yours also.
None can stand against God. When God is present the reality is present, the truth is present, the creative power is present, because I am present; and again I speak for each one. None can stand against it. The question is asked, because the creative cycle is in motion; it is asked of human beings everywhere: Where are you? Where do you stand? What is the quality of your living? I will demand of thee and answer thou me. Where do you stand as the foundations of the new earth are laid? Trying to sustain the old earth, to keep it around a little longer? Or wholly occupied with establishing the foundations of the new?—spiritual foundations, largely invisible foundations, the foundations of character, of the quality of living, seeking nothing but concerned alone to bring the living Word of truth into the earth in momentary living, the action of God. This action doesn't conform to the concepts of men as to how God would act.
Those who think anything about God are inclined to imagine that He comes with a great thunder, arrayed with lightning, to lay something on human beings. No, He comes quietly. Human beings make the noise. There is silence in heaven for the space of half an hour, enough time to establish what is needful. It doesn't require years and years. Thirty minutes should be enough, when there are those who speak the Word of God on earth, not merely in what is said. We all say something day by day. I have not noticed that anyone has yet taken a vow of silence. So what is said may be included in the Word of God, what is thought also, what is felt, what is accepted into experience. Human beings are accustomed to accepting trash, garbage. They think nothing of it. Everybody stinks, so nobody notices it! “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” They shall be God in action on earth.
So this stable foundation is established, is laid, and the earth takes new form. The old form dissolves, disintegrates, falls away, so that the new form may appear on the true foundation, the foundation of the Word of God. To the extent that we have no other gods before this One, it is done. It cannot be prevented from being done. Arrogant imbeciles do not realize this, which is really fortunate. It is better that they shouldn't. It leaves God with a free hand, when He has a hand to use on earth. But in all our ways we may proclaim the truth of God, not by speaking those words over and over—who knows what they mean?—but by being God in action on earth. That is humility, because man was so designed. To accept that design is to be humble; to reject it is to be arrogant.
We share an understanding of these things. Let it be more than an understanding. Let us stand with God, one nation under God, that the truth may be made known, the foundation truly laid, and the earth restored. Here is our unified purpose, the sole reason for our presence on earth in human form. The human form with its consciousness is of little moment except as it allows the revelation of God in action on earth—the revelation of the one I Am. Here is our service this morning, not to congratulate ourselves on our understanding but to let the kingdom come and God's will be done in earth because we have let it be established in the heaven of our living, giving glory to God always in the highest.
As individuals, how great is your sense of destiny? This ministry has meaning and effect to the extent that those who compose it are keenly conscious of a sense of destiny.How aware are you that individually speaking you each play a part which is absolutely unique and essential in the achievement of those purposes for which this ministry exists?It isn't only a matter of the other fellow having a sense of destiny, so that you might ride along upon what someone else's experience is.That sense of destiny comes to the extent that our involvement with the earthly state recedes in our experience.If we are wrapped up in the world, which certainly seems to be present all around us, then amongst the four billion other human beings on earth we become equally meaningless; there is no sense to our continued existence.So it is reasonable to suppose that we would feel rather futile.Most people try not to think about it, but presumably we have seen something of a vision which transcends the outlook of most people.
The voice of the Lord has spoken, and in varying measure we have heard that voice: "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away"; remember who you are and why you are here on earth; let the sense of destiny be known.His voice speaks this morning as we share this hour, to call the truth to remembrance.We may hear it, even as Job heard it long ago speaking out of the whirlwind and saying, "Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?" Who is it that has usurped the position of the truth in your experience to bring a sense of meaninglessness?Who is it that has attempted to control and direct your living by the knowledge of your mind and the feelings of your heart?Who is it that has held sway in your experience so that the sense of true destiny was obscured?As long as this one continues to exist in your experience, of what real value could you be on earth?Do you remember now, and in each succeeding moment, that you were sent as an emissary of the Lord into the earth to manifest and live in human form—your present human form?
"Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me."Remember that man was created male and female.Man is not just the positive aspect of the combination, or the one who should occupy that position, nor indeed the negative aspect, but both—there is no man without both."Gird up now thy loins like a man." Be prepared to remember what it is to be a man, for in man is the sense of destiny.Man was created in the image and likeness of God for a purpose.Without the experience of man there can be no experience of true purpose.Human beings have invented purposes for themselves to try to fill the void which they feel.If they succeed they have succeeded only in deluding themselves. "Gird up now thy loins like a man," male and female, and hear the question that is asked of you—as it has been asked of all generations of human beings to this hour: "Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding."
If you have made any claims to intelligence, if you thought you knew something, answer this question.The question is not asked merely to prove the ignorance of human beings but to emphasize in human consciousness what naturally should be known."Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?" What are the foundations of the earth?This is not talking about the earth itself but about the foundations of the earth, the reason for the existence of the earth.The question might be seen as relating to the planet but it can be seen as relating to what we call "physical form," great or small.What is it that causes the existence of physical form?What is it that has brought forth the dimensional universe? What is it that maintains the existence of this planet and all that is present upon the surface of it?What are the foundations of the earth?The heaven is the foundation of the earth; without the heaven there could be no earth.What is it that you know of the heaven?
"Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof?" Do you remember?Or are you in darkness?There are many human beings who might say, "The Lord did this." But do they know?Do they know what their words mean?Is there in reality any separation between heaven and earth, between the Lord and the truth of man?Who is the Lord?Pharaoh asked this question and then proceeded to answer it, "I know not the Lord." Apparently in that instance he was at least honest.He acknowledged the fact that he did not know the Lord.It would seem that all too many human beings are not that honest.They think they know when they don't.They have a concept of the mind, they have an intellectual belief, they might even have a belief of the heart, but what is known?What is known of the reason for all existence?Some of the facts of existence are seen and experienced, but what is known of the reason for those facts?If we are capable of girding up our loins like a man the understanding would obviously be present that characterizes a man, and that understanding includes the truth of being, an awareness of the fact that there was no separation between the truth of one's own being and the truth of all being; there was and is no such separation.
What is known of this?Insofar as you are concerned, doubtless you have many ideas about it, but what in heaven do you know?That knowing is based in a sense of destiny, in a sense of eternal purpose, in the fact of one's own being.The Lord says, "Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?" Are you capable of giving an honest answer?"I was there.I was with Thee.I was and am a part of what Thou art."
When the creation of the earth is mentioned most people think of it in terms of the past; sometime in ages past something happened.The solar system took form somehow and in due season the earth appeared.This is idle speculation in the field of imagination.What do we know?We know that the earth is here; we know that we are here; we know something of the vastness of the form of creation.Has creation ceased?It's still here.If there is creation there is a Creator.Without the Creator the creation is not.The creation is; it certainly has not ceased.It's here and the Creator is here.Now is the day of creation.The creation is known in this present moment.It may only be speculated about, insofar as human consciousness is concerned, as creation may have related to the past.Whoever may have been present at a particular point of creation in the past may be capable of remembering it but what is known is what is present now, the creation that is here now.In human consciousness there may be idle speculation, imagination; in the true consciousness of being there may be memory.
But what is it that is needful?Merely to speculate, or conceivably to remember?I think not.What is needful is to know now the reality of creation, the reason for creation now, the foundations of the earth in all its myriad forms now.The truth is present now.The truth can only be known now. Certainly the creative process was clear to man somewhere in the past. Man participated in that creative process once: "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy"—when there was harmonious expression by reason of the mind of man on earth, by reason of his thoughts and his feelings."When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy"—when the sons and daughters of God incarnate on earth were filled with the joys of creation, and there were the beautiful sounds of creation on every hand.Let this sense of destiny rise up in you, that you may begin to know the truth of creation now, as the morning stars begin to sing together once again and the sons and daughters of God shout for joy.
For this to occur there are many questions to be answered, not for you, but by you.Human beings are always demanding answers; there is what is called an insatiable quest for knowledge.They have been so busy trying to find answers that they never heard the question that was being asked of them: "Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me." This begins to put man back where he belongs—capable of answering the questions of the creative process on earth, capable of handling his field of responsibility in creation.Human beings have imagined that they would know these things by asking questions, by seeking to multiply knowledge, the idea being that when one has all the knowledge then one would be able to answer the questions and do what is required; but who would be doing it?The Creator or an imitation?—namely human beings exalting themselves into the position of a creator.
What are the foundations of the earth?There is a great deal of awareness of the earth and of the multitude of forms it takes, but what of the reason for all these things?Why do they exist?For what purpose?What is it that should exist in this way and what is it that should not?Do you not suppose that there are many things on the face of the earth that shouldn't exist?I am sure that human beings everywhere think that there is much that should not exist according to their view of the matter, but those views are usually contradictory—nobody knows.But there are those things that should exist now and there are those things that should pass away now.This is the creative process and it relates to the foundations of the earth, what is back of the forms everywhere around us.We are not properly dealing directly with the forms but with the foundation of the forms, for the foundation determines what the forms should be.The heaven is the reason for the earth, and there is One who is the reason for the heaven.When the earth reveals what the heaven proclaims, then the true creation is made known; and man is an essential part, not only of the creation but of the Creator.Creator and creation blend in man.
"Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades?" Have you ever experienced any sweet influences?There are many experiences on earth which human beings have deemed to be sweet.How much influence do these sweet things have over you?Your experience in the world has been largely subject to the influence of sweet things, the things that you deem to be sweet in your experience.Unfortunately human beings are very much aware that the sour comes with the sweet.Perhaps they may suppose that because of the sour the sweet tastes all the sweeter and therefore it would not be possible to know any sweetness if it were not for the fact of sourness.The question put is, "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades?" Are you capable of handling those sweet influences without being subject to them, or is your experience one of a desperate chase after what you deem to be sweet?I suppose these things could be summarized with respect to eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage—sex, in other words.Certainly human beings have devised a vast array of methods of generating sweetness, synthetic sweetness, saccharin.It is interesting that saccharin is now being banned, one method human beings have invented to bind the sweet influences.
While this question is asked of man, male and female, we may see how it particularly applies to the male, because one of the primary sources of the sweet influences is considered to be that which is provided by the female.Where are the men who are capable of binding that sweet influence?The voice of the Lord has long called for men on earth.The very fact that the One who came to offer salvation to the world in the direct sense was a man is indicative of the vital role to be played by those who might be classified as men.It is said that woman was taken out of man.The word "rib" is used to describe the basis for what occurred.A bone of the head wasn't used, neither a bone of the foot, but a bone of the apparatus which keeps safe the heart and the lungs—but we may think of it particularly in terms of the heart.Male and female were supposed to be one flesh, one being, a proper role to be played by each in relationship to the other; but the female was designed to keep a man's heart, a male's heart, safe.She has failed dismally in this.She is rightly the keeper of his heart, of his home, of his heaven.The male has been left without this protection.The female has been concerned for her own heart, her own home, and mostly her own hell.
Man is male and female.The female was called womb man, the means by which the heart, the home and the heaven might be kept safe.The female purpose was not to try to get anything from the male but to provide that essential enfoldment.She may consider these things, but the man may consider them also, because his responsibility is to bind the sweet influences of Pleiades in his own experience.This is not an instruction to try to dominate women.This is something which relates to men and what they know from within themselves.What is the nature of their attitude toward women?What is the nature of their own feelings toward women, and how much are those feelings allowed to determine what a man does?The world has been filled with violence, principally because of the weakness of the male.Weak people act in desperation.Desperate action brings violence, and the world is filled with violence, a reflection of the weakness of the male.Of course he displayed his weakness in the first place by forgetting his manhood and pandering to the female.That is the story of the fall, as it is called.He went along with the female who had lost her integrity, and fundamentally the male of the human race has continued this evidence of failure and weakness ever since.
"Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades?" Can you stop being controlled by your desire, your lust for what you deem to be sweet?This not only applies to men.I have brought it to point with respect to the male attitude toward the female, but the female doesn't lack in desire and lust for what she deems to be sweetness.That's what she wants too.So her attitude needs to bind those influences so that they are not dominating the experience of existence.
The American Constitution says something about the pursuit of happiness—the pursuit of happiness, the lusting after sweetness. Man was designed to lust after the Lord."Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." It leaves no room at all for all the worldly things after which human beings lust.The beauty of life for man could never be known on the basis of such reversed polarity, and yet how many have awakened to the truth of this, not as a theory but as a fact in their own living?What are the things that you want?What are the things that you think you must have?These are the things that control you, and human beings are controlled by things.No wonder they have become things themselves, pawns to be manipulated by other human beings; just things.Maybe this is what we should call human beings collectively: "things." But a thing has absolutely no basis for comparison with Man.
The sweet influences of Pleiades must be bound by those who have been willing to let this experience be known for themselves.We can theorize about it as long as we exist and nothing whatsoever happens.It only begins to happen when someone is willing to experience it, and again we come back to that little word "willing."That's all it is!Most people, if they were honest, would say, "Well, I don't want to experience it." They try to delude themselves with a surface display of theory, but underneath, "I don't want to experience it," is the attitude."I like to be dominated by these sweet influences.I like to have my life bring the experiences of sweetness, even though the experiences of sourness also come." You can't have one without the other as long as these constitute the god, the lust after the things of the earth, particularly those things which are deemed to be sweet.The sickly sweetness of what may be experienced in this way bears little relationship to the natural sweetness which comes in the experience of Man.
"Gird up now thy loins like a man" and answer the real questions that are being asked.And when we answer these questions correctly we find ourselves as true male and female components in Man.
That focus of womanhood, which is the responsibility of each lady who awakens to it, rises up from the earth. There is one spirit, which works in its positive and negative aspects according to the design of life itself. Woman provides a focus of the spirit of this earth which rises up through her as she is willing to embody it. This is the spirit of Mother God. Man brings to focus the positive spirit of Father God. The spirit of Father God may be seen as coming down from above, just as the spirit of Mother God rises up from below. It is one spirit. This one spirit comes to its natural focus in male and female Man. It is fused once again into the outpouring radiance of the spirit of the living God. The spirit of Father God and Mother God are inseparable. That inseparability is rightly revealed in its focused expression through Man. The spirit of Mother God yields naturally to the spirit of Father God. The fusion takes place and the light shines, radiation pours forth. This has been described by using the words “Emissary of Divine Light.”
Mankind has denied both Father God and Mother God, denied the presence of these two unified aspects of being. We find ourselves coming again to the experience of acknowledgment of these two aspects of being, brought to focus in our own individual living. For this to occur the creative process must proceed according to the design of it. The design is present. We speak of it as the creative process. It opens the door for participation in the design, of all those who are willing to do so, both male and female.
There are many things which we experience day by day, as is the fact for human beings everywhere. All that is experienced by everyone relates to this creative process, as we know, by which those who are willing may be drawn into the Divine Design. The drawing power works on the basis of the focus, the positive focus of spirit, represented by the one who comes in the name of the Lord. I say “one,” not to indicate that this one is just one person, although obviously there is a focus point within the larger focus which would include others. There is a focus point provided through man for Father God and through woman for Mother God. It is this provision of the positive and negative focus which makes the radiation of light possible.
Provision has obviously been made for a particular individual focus with respect to Father God and with respect to Mother God. As there are those who acknowledge this in their own experience the focus of Father God and Mother God, in male and female form, expands. Obviously, to participate in this process there has to be respect and love for the focus points which initiate this process. There has been evidence of respect and love in this regard, but at the same time there has been some concern in many for the greater experience of closeness. How shall this drawing close be known? Obviously, you have already let something of this occur within your own experience, but there is no technique available which anyone can use to draw close so as to come to the point of participating in unified radiation. Closeness comes as there is communion. Communion is not the same thing as communication.
We have a provision within this body by which the pulsations of spirit may be released to be received, accepted and expressed by all who share responsibility for giving form to this body. This provision comes to a particular focus in our services. In order to allow for this provision to be more widespread, various ways have been developed to make this possible. Nowadays we have videotapes, in particular. We have the Telemail service to use for the transmission of transcriptions of the services, and we have the mailings which are regularly released throughout the body. One might look upon these things as a technique. Some have attempted to use these things as a technique. The idea of the technique was perhaps enhanced when it was indicated that in order to participate in the mailing list one would need to write letters of response. Letters of response may maintain one’s connection and therefore the opportunity to find the meaning of the word “communion,” the opportunity to draw close. These letters, which were necessary in an external sense to make sure that only those who wished to receive their mailings would receive them, were not for my benefit or anyone else’s benefit but the one who wrote them, because the opportunity came then to share more closely in what might be described as a spiritual food that was being made available.
You may recall that one of the beatitudes related to this matter: “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” We were speaking this morning about absences, emptinesses, holes, which need to be filled. The only way by which these can be filled is on the basis of the hungering and thirsting of at least some men and women. For some there is an awareness of being hungry and thirsty, so that those concerned probably were looking here and looking there to find they knew not what. Others were not so aware of their hunger and thirst, even though they were hungry and thirsty but didn’t know it. Such became aware of their hungering and thirsting when the essential genuine food was provided. Then the strength and depth of that hungering and thirsting would become very apparent. The fact of the spiritual food made it so. And because of that hungering and thirsting, anything would be done to make sure that this food and drink was received.
It is well described as hungering and thirsting; that would be after food and drink. This food and drink is not the kind that requires a plate and a cup to receive it It just requires a person with a yielded heart and an open mind. Such receive the spiritual food, which is available through these various forms that I have mentioned, into themselves. If you are provided with a meal of some kind and you are hungry, and some drink also is available and you are thirsty, I doubt if you would sit just looking at it, examining it carefully. What you would do would be to eat the food, and drink whatever the liquid was—in other words receive it into yourself so that it became a part of you. Here is what happens when there is real hungering and thirsting. One can’t avoid eating and drinking. And if you eat and drink, factually what you eat and drink becomes a part of your own physical form, your own heart, your own mind, and consequently becomes your own life. It becomes what you are. Here is the way by which the Emissary of Divine Light puts in an appearance. It has been very difficult for anyone to put their finger on what was represented by an Emissary of Divine Light. It has troubled many people that they couldn’t do this. If they could do it, then those words would mean nothing. It is the fact that no one can put their finger on it that gives indication of its genuineness. Nobody can grasp it, nobody can get bold of it, nobody can bend it to their own wills.
If we are really hungry we are compelled to eat, and if we are really thirsty we are compelled to drink. There is no question for a person who is starving, as to whether he will receive food or not, or to someone who is dying of thirst whether he will receive drink or not. Here is that compulsion which supersedes choice. Each individual will know for him- or herself the extent of their own hungering and thirsting. Do you think hungering and thirsting is a one-shot deal, just something you did back along the way? You ate a meal once or twice and then, “Ah! I know all about eating and drinking now; I don’t need any more.” I don’t think any of us would take that attitude toward our daily bread.
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” With what? Righteousness, presumably—that is, the true expression of living. And we commune not because letters are written or because there is much discussion, talk. We commune because the same spiritual food and drink is consumed by all of us. When we commune it may be useful from time to time to write a letter; it may be useful from time to time to speak together. But the writing and the speaking do not of themselves bring communion. They may seem to bring some communication but, as I am sure you are all well aware, communication often spawns misunderstanding. You say one thing and the other person thinks you were saying something else, and so there are misunderstandings. When there is communion there can’t be misunderstanding. What a wonderful experience. And when there is communion the light shines, there is radiation, unified radiation, and this is the creative power by which transformation comes.
Transformation comes the way it comes. Let it come the way it comes. Don’t imagine that what comes should conform to some view we have as to what it should be. Whatever transformations come, from our standpoint, come by reason of radiation. And what occurs doesn’t have to conform with our concepts. We are quite willing to let it be what it is. We may observe the attitudes of other people. Little do they know what the change actually is. Little do we know what the change actually is. Let it be what it is. Our sole concern is to let the radiation be present, that’s all. Then there is no need for judgment. There is no need for self-judgment. There is no need to imagine that there is going to be any failure anywhere. It is all part of the process. We have been saying this for years. Let it be, in every field. It is delightful, really, to observe changes. We can do that, if we can do it without becoming involved emotionally in them. We see changes going on all over the place. Interesting. Those concerned with trying to make changes, as they think, do not realize what it is that is happening. But surely we do. There are those who take credit for some of the changes, just as there have been those who are downcast because of some of the changes. Why be either one?
What is happening is happening. We know why. Or do we know why? Is it just a theory? We prove out whether it is a theory to us or not by our own behavior, by what happens when changes come. There are still some pretty fancy concepts about what should happen by reason of the impact of the Emissary ministry. Everybody is going to fall into line! I doubt that very much. Have all of you fallen into line yet? We learn to take it as it comes, but we learn to be true to our own awareness of responsibility in the creative process. Judge not There is no need to. The extent to which this radiation is held steady and allowed to intensify will determine the speed and scope of the changes that occur. Don’t judge the changes. You know what is bound to happen. All the changes will ultimately permit the fulfilment which is inevitable on the basis of the creative radiation of spirit
So we share the creative process and rejoice. We see changes come. We ourselves are involved in these changes. Oh, isn’t that interesting. You can turn and look at yourself: “Oh, I didn't expect that.” What does it matter whether you expected it or not? Whatever it was, happened. We are quite willing to let it happen. We respect this body, we love this body, through which the radiation occurs. We leave the radiation in the hands of the One whose radiation it is. We trust Him and we trust the radiation, and hold it steady and let it intensify because we are not jerked hither and yon by the changes that occur round about. Our imagination of what a “good” change will be is just as ridiculous as our imagination of what a “bad” change is. The process takes care of itself, provided that we take care of our own responsibility in the matter. That’s the only thing that is in question. Are we on hand? Is the radiation steady? Is the light shining, regardless of what effects there are that put in an appearance? Let us be sure that this stability is there, this manhood and womanhood is there, giving glory to Father God and Mother God.
