A Special Message in the King's Chamber

“Our function is to let Reality manifest in the world chaos,
that in due season the Responding Ones of the masses
will be drawn into harmonization with the Focal Expression of Reality
which is made manifest through us in the world.”
Let the Blessed Ones realize that in the radiation of the Fire of the Christ Love, the choice of each one is being forced into expression, no matter what that choice may be. As the ever-increasing manifestation of power is released through the creative cycles focalized in the Third Sacred School, there is an intensification of all the activities of the world, no matter what they are. Those activities that are of the unreal, having chosen destruction, are intensified in their destructive expression. Those activities that are of the real, having chosen Life, are intensified in their creative expression. As yet there are very few individuals who are functioning in the fullness of the real, or in the fullness of the unreal. Each individual is, as yet, a mixture of the two types of expression—however, the change now taking place in the world is bringing each individual into a clear-cut harmonization with one side or the other. For most people, the pendulum will be swinging to all sorts of extremes, until the direction of response becomes one-pointed. Those who become one-pointed in their response to the unreal will be established on the side of destruction which is rapidly destroying itself. Those who become one-pointed in their response to reality will be established on the side of Eternal Life in the creative expression. The time has come when people can no longer be on both sides. So many people are lukewarm in their responses—and so does the world call them good. To all such are the words of Revelation 3: 14-19.
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches. And unto the angel of
the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful
and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God. I know thy works, that
thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will
spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest,
I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not
that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou
mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the
shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that
thou mayest see. As
many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.”
The time of being neither hot nor cold is past. The people of the world are taking sides with a vengeance, that they may fight on the side of their choice—for there are two sides in the world of unreality, which are fighting against each other. One side functions through a great, worldwide religion. The other side functions through the control of banking and monetary interests. Those who take either of these two sides are wrong. No one can choose between them and live. The Blessed Ones have come to a time when they must cease taking sides on the issues which concern the world, from a world standpoint. In the function of reality, each one is called to respond one-pointedly to reality, without being for or against any side, or function, that may appear, or be warring, in the world. On any worldly side there is that which is right, and there is that which is wrong. To take sides is to condone the wrong on the side chosen, and to condemn the right on the side chosen against. The Earnest One knows that the real will stand, and the unreal will fall, no matter what sides are taken in the world—and no matter who fights against whom. The faithful One remains clear of all sides except the Cosmic side of reality, letting the world fight as it will, without fear of, or anger toward, either side. This is that which is now of utmost importance to all, that they may remain tranquil, no matter what takes place.
Both of the great sides in the world, each of which has numerous internal factions, do all that they can to engender hate for their opponents, and fear of themselves—so that hate will drive those who respond to hate, and fear will control the rest. Perfect Love casts out all fear, and where there is Love, there can be no hate. Both sides can point to things that are not right on the other side—and to things that are reasonably right on their own side, and out of such subjections to hate and fear the present conflict in the world is growing. Our function is to let Reality manifest in the world chaos, that in due season the Responding Ones of the masses will be drawn into harmonization with the Focal Expression of Reality which is made manifest through us in the world. The Way whereby this function in the Radiance of Reality may best manifest is clearly revealed in the booklet, Seven Steps to the Temple of Light.
Let the Faithful One consider the words of our Great Master as recorded in Matthew 10: 32-42
“Whosoever
therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father
which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also
deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send
peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a
man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and
the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they
of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not
worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of
me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of
me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my
sake shall find it. He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth
me receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a
prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man
in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. And
whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water
only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose
his reward.”
The radiation of the Christ Love cannot bring peace on earth so long as evil remains in the earth as the controlling influence among mankind. The conflict is being intensified, according to the choice of each one. Now are we living in the period our Master spoke of in His Words recorded in Matthew 24: 4-14
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take
heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars:
see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the
end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in
divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill
you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall
many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax
cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the
same shall be saved. And this gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and
then shall the end come.”
Truly, “Men's hearts (are) failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth.” Luke 21: 25-26. This fear prompts the attitude of bravado which is so evident in the expression of human beings everywhere—but that show of bravado will turn to the cry of Revelation 6:16 as the pressure of world affairs increases—“And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on
us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the
wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his
wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Babylon of Revelation 18 is the world commercial structure upon which world trade, and so-called progress, are based—and so do we come now to the time of the out-manifestation of the events recorded in the 18th chapter of Revelation—“And after these
things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth
was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice,
saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen…”—even as those events have already taken place from an inner standpoint, in that those who are involved have refused to choose reality.
The “beast and the false prophet” are now at work in the earth as never before. The beast is that function of the faction which controls both capital and labor, pitting them against each other for their own selfish ends, and which dominates the industry and commerce of the world—and this faction is spoken of in the 9th verse of both the 2nd and 3rd chapters of Revelation. Those who say “they are Jews, and are not, but do lie,” are those who crucified our Great Master, and who have perpetrated a long series of world-wide crimes down through the centuries since that time—and who are now, as they think, on the verge of the victory for which they have worked down through the centuries, namely: absolute supremacy in, and rulership of, the whole world. It is because of these who claim “they are Jews, and are not, but do lie,” that racial prejudice and persecution are kept alive in the earth. On the other hand, the false prophet is that worldwide religious expression which claims to be the mouthpiece of God, but is, as a whole in directive function, without any true Spirituality. These are the two opposing factions of the unreal wherein all other unreal factions are contained—and between which all of the fighting in the world is taking place. This fighting of the unreal against the unreal is that which will surely destroy the unreal from the face of the earth—and to take sides with either side is to take part in that destruction.
The Way of Reality is not the way of fighting against any. We let Love Radiate to all alike, without respect to race, color or creed. Of every race, color and belief there are tens of thousands of Earnest Ones who will be drawn into harmony in the Cosmic Plan. To the degree that you can look on the things that are taking place in the earth, without fear, without hate, and without anger, but in a true Love Radiance to all alike, you are standing on the Rock. Some there are who say that we should not mention such things, but that we should close our eyes to them, and delude ourselves into saying that they do not exist. Such an attitude is born of fear—and perfect Love casts out all fear. Those who try to deny evil have just as much faith in it as those who are openly subject to it.
Being in the world, but not of it, each Earnest One is called to walk in the Central Way, avoiding all extremes—wherein he feels no need whatsoever of fighting against anyone under any condition for any cause. However, that does not mean that such an one is to become a doormat for selfish and aggressive persons who know not Love. The Earnest One, standing on the Rock, cannot be overcome, or disturbed. Those who try to fight against the Faithful One finds that his fighting is returned upon his own head. We fight not, but those who fight against us are crushed by their own fighting. In the Cosmic Period of choice you are called to so stand on the Rock, in the Christ Power of your Lord, that you may test the unreal that comes against you, and that you may no longer be tested by the unreal. Enfolding you in the Fire, I AM Uranda
