From Fall To Restoration—Cosmic Factors

From  Fall  To  Restoration





Cosmic  Factors


Martin Cecil   May 24, 1970



In the 38th chapter of the Book of Job there is a portrayal of the Lord speaking to Job out of the whirlwind and asking a number of questions. “Gird up now thy loins like a man … and answer thou me.” It is properly expected that there should be an understanding of those things portrayed through the questions which the Lord asked. Some of these questions I would like to read to you, to call them to your remembrance, for they relate to an area of meditation which may well come to focus now. 


“Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?” 


Obviously, intellectually speaking there is very little understanding of what is meant by these questions. The mind is inclined to write them off as meaningless, as it does anything that it doesn’t understand. We are beginning to have a certain consciousness of relatedness with the universe. We feel more particularly that we are a part of the solar system. There is a change in awareness in this regard already experienced to some degree. Heretofore we were very much earthbound, usually in relationship to a very small geographical part of the earth. Some have broad community consciousness, some reach out a little further and have a national outlook perhaps. Then we are a part of the world, after all. But beyond that it is only fairly recently that there has been a dawning awareness that we are really related to the rest of the solar system. Perhaps the excursion to the moon had something to do with this in the general pattern, but I am thinking of it more from our standpoint. We have a consciousness of the relatedness of the solar system to the galaxy. Theoretically we have been aware of the fact of this for quite some time, but there is more of a sensing of it now than there has been.



These verses that I read reach out into the cosmos a little and indicate once again that there is a pattern of relationship which directly affects the earth and those of us who live upon the surface of the earth. There has been something of a rather confused awareness in this regard present in the consciousness of man over the ages, coming to focus in what is nowadays called astrology. This is the attempt of the self-active mind of man to understand what is beyond its comprehension. But at least there is some perception that there is a relationship between the various parts of the universe and there are influences brought to bear in which we are involved in various ways. Some of the more obvious influences relate to the tides, the influence of the moon and the sun in this regard. If the oceans are capable of being moved to such extent by the influence of the moon, are we to suppose that the influence of the moon has no effect upon us? It would seem rather foolish to discount any possible influence. It really takes something, you know, to move the oceans—I think it would take far less to move us. So there are effects of various kinds. This particular one is physically observable. Many of them are not so easily discerned.


The solar system is constantly moving in its orbit in the galaxy, and consequently the influences, whatever they are, which are brought to bear upon the solar system, and more particularly from our standpoint upon the earth, are constantly changing. We find a whole network of influences here of which the mind of man knows virtually nothing. Very few of these influences are taken into consideration at all. Some of them are observable in various ways. But this movement of the solar system, and the earth in particular, through a changing pattern of influence has brought to bear upon this planet certain vibrational factors which relate to what has been experienced by the human race over the ages.


If we consider the fact that man was created in the image and likeness of God to be the means by which the creative action of God could be operative on the surface of this planet, we are reminded that man was created in this fashion and functioned in this fashion on earth for a considerable period of time, and then what is called the fall came. There are reasons as to why the fall occurred, reasons which relate to the movement of the earth through these various vibratory influences which are brought to bear out of the cosmos. There was no necessity for man to fall and there was no intention that he should, but there was the possibility that he might. In the creative cycles as they were established this possibility was recognized and man was warned in relationship to it. He was warned that in the outworking cycles, a time would come when his mental comprehension of what was occurring would be obscured—his vision would be clouded because of the vibratory factors that were being brought to bear out of the cosmos. He was warned so that he might be alert to this happening in order that when it did take place and his mental vision was obscured he wouldn’t assume that he could see when he couldn’t. All that was necessary was for him to remain properly centered, without judging and without imagining that he had vision when he didn’t. There were some who were not very alert in this regard and consequently, the vision being obscured, they forgot that they needed to let things well enough alone and proceeded to act on the basis of the obscured vision, and this produced the fall.

The solar system, with our earth, does pass through various patterns of vibrational influence extending out of the cosmos. There was a period, then—quite a while after man was inhabiting the earth as Divine Man—when the earth passed through this vibrational cloud. It was anticipated that this would happen; there was nothing strange about it. Many thousands of years have elapsed since the earth entered this vibrational cloud and the fall did take place. But the solar system now has continued on in the circuit and is emerging out of that original vibrational influence which made it possible for the fall to take place. As there is an emergence out of this, the fallen state cannot continue to exist and is in the process of passing away. Now this aspect of it has very little to do with anything that human beings may do, except that they are reacting to what is occurring. The furnace is being heated seven times hotter than it was wont to be heated. In this intensification the self-active mind cannot continue to exist. Its reaction tends to produce a state of insanity, and we see this everywhere: people imagining that they are sane but behaving insanely. This is characteristic of insanity, isn’t it? The person doesn’t know he is insane. So we have a deplorable condition, but it is a process of cleaning up too.


There is an emergence out of the vibrational cloud and into the light again, so that the restoration must take place, simply because the fallen state can no longer exist. We are rapidly moving to this point. There is an intensification. We are emerging: Come out of her, my people. Well we can’t help but come out actually, as long as we are sitting on the earth, because the earth is coming out; but if we do not associate ourselves with the new state we experience destruction. The Lord is not going to destroy anyone. It is fundamentally self-destruction. Here is a portrayal of something that is occurring by reason of the influences of the universe around us brought to bear with respect to the earth. If we begin to have an increased sense of relatedness to the universe around us we recognize that what is being brought to bear is not destructive—it is creative—part of the creative process operating in the cosmos as a whole. It only seems destructive to those who are self-conscious in the realm which is being dissipated. We don’t need to stay at that level.


In this fallen state we have been living in a three-dimensional world—for most it has been less than three dimensions—when the fact of the matter is that it is a Seven-Dimensional world. Unless we are capable of surviving in a Seven-Dimensional world we cannot survive. We have up to this point been capable of surviving a few years in a three-dimensional world. Generation after generation this has been so in the fallen state. While this vibrational cloud was in effect this was possible, but we are moving out of it, so that it is no longer possible to continue to exist merely in a three-dimensional world. We must come out into a Seven-Dimensional world, and we are in the process of coming out with a bang. There is an exponential curve in this regard. This impetus which is being experienced by everyone, a very intense compulsion increasing, is a destructive thing to those who are attempting to continue to exist in a three-dimensional world. We see this attempt being made valiantly all around us. There is still the general endeavor to maintain the three-dimensional world as it has been known, and it is becoming more and more difficult. Well that was possible for a while, while we lived in the cloud and were able to exist in this three-dimensional state.



But there are no precedents, within the memory of man at least, with respect to a Seven-Dimensional state, so he is entirely at sea. However there is this desperate endeavor to maintain the three-dimensional world with which man is familiar—in the long run an impossible task, because we are moving out of an old state into a new one, whether we like it or not. We are being borne out of it on a space vehicle. So the new is coming, a state in which the self-activity of the human mind is impossible. Therefore if one insists upon maintaining a self-active mind there is a crunch coming; there is a stone wall beyond which the self-active mind cannot pass. So it behooves us, surely, to permit the self-activity of the mind to pass away so that we have a different state of consciousness which is capable of continuing to exist in the new vibrational condition. It is something that requires actual experience, and we are being pushed into it one way or another. There is this intensification, there is this increasing impetus which is driving some crazy and allowing for an expansion of consciousness and understanding on the part of others, depending on which side of the fence, so to speak, the person is. The side of the fence is not determined by belief of some kind; it is determined by what the actual state of the individual is. So there is no escape. We can’t pretend and get by with it. The requirement is absolute honesty, because there is no means of remaining dishonest and experiencing the new state. So here we go, traveling—I don’t know what the speed is of the solar system through the galaxy, but quite fast—and the changes come.


“Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?” Well obviously not. These are constellations which have an influence upon us, upon more than us but we are included. You could say here is papa and mama of the solar system. And the characteristics of the parents are reproduced in the child, so the nature of these constellations is very much to point in our experience, because we are included in what might be called the child. “Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades?” Pleiades have been called the Seven Sisters, and there is a relatedness here to what we have considered before: the Seven Spirits before the Throne of God. Here is the nature of God as it relates to us, and it is consequently our nature if we were made in the image and likeness of God. They are sweet influences, desirable influences. We have given specific names to the Seven Spirits before the Throne of God, recognizing that each of them relates to Love. The Seventh Spirit is Love—and the six beyond it, or below it, are differentiations of Love based in the design of Truth. Here we have the truth for man—his true nature. Each individual is rightly characterized by these Spirits before the Throne of God. This is the Divine character for each one. Can you bind it? This is what people have been attempting to do—attempting to bring the spirit of God under man’s control, to use the truth for human purposes. It is in fact impossible for man to bind the sweet influences of Pleiades—they are not going to change at all; they are still here; they are still operative—or to loose the bands of Orion. God rules yet. The Divine control is still a reality. Nothing that man has done has changed anything in that regard; it has merely changed man’s own experience. He has been living in a dream state, completely unaware of the true state, where the bands of Orion hold all things in the Divine Design and the sweet influences of Pleiades are operative constantly.


Because all these things are so, the cosmos is still going ahead, and the solar system is still moving in the galaxy, and the earth is going along with the solar system, moving from one set of influences to another set of influences, regardless of anything that human beings can do. Orion and the Pleiades are still in place. Nothing has really changed except the experience of man on earth consequent upon his blindness and forgetfulness and the distortion of the Divine spirits, which have produced hate and greed and fear and shame. As our space vehicle moves into this new vibrational experience, we begin to become aware of these things. We begin to become aware that it is futile to try to bind the sweet influences of Pleiades—we had better quit. And we can’t by any means whatsoever get ourselves loosed from the bands of Orion—except by dying. When that happens, merely something that was unreal dissipates. Whatever was real about us, the physical substance of our bodies for instance, remains. Just the unreal state, just the unreal pattern, just the unreal identity, is dissipated. The bands of Orion remain and the sweet influences of Pleiades remain.


How utterly futile and how utterly foolish it is to enter into this struggle to bind the sweet influences of Pleiades. It could be done for a little while on the part of mankind as a whole, and on the part of individuals just for threescore years and ten. But no more, because we are emerging out of that three-dimensional condition into a Seven-Dimensional condition, and the intensification of things, the building up of the pressure, the igniting of the explosive, is what actually propels the movement into the new state. The bullet goes—the charge which set it off stays behind. That is the way it is if there is association with the Divine State, an acceptance of the sweet influences of Pleiades, the Seven Spirits before the Throne of God, in one’s own expression. Then one finds that Orion is right there in control. The control is here on earth through those whose experience is that of the Seven Spirits before the Throne of God.


So we may rejoice in that expansion of awareness, of sensing, which brings us to know that individually we are a part of this vast whole, and we are a part of each other, members of One Body, the Body of the Son of God on earth. We may share the increasing consciousness of these things as there is yielding. We are no longer trying to maintain ourselves in a three-dimensional world which is passing away but we are interested in discovering the Seven-Dimensional world into which we are moving in our awareness. We are in it already in actual fact. Everybody has been in it all this time but has never known it; now we have got to know it or perish. So the door opens for our knowing, and through your own experience you are aware of a change of consciousness. The change that has taken place in your consciousness is unique to each one but it is part of the process of the experience of movement into what we have called the Seven-Dimensional world, the new state. For it is in this that existence is alone possible—no more in the three-dimensional state. It was only a temporary thing anyway. That is what man was warned about: it was only a temporary thing, a temporary obscuring of vision out of which there would be emergence in due course. There need have been none of this misery that has occurred in the world if the mind hadn’t forgotten that it couldn’t see.



How wonderful to be restored to vision and to life. Life is one of the Seven Spirits before the Throne of God—the fifth—well we certainly have to come out of the three-dimensional world to find it. This is what is occurring. Fantastic? Maybe to the human mind, but fortunately the fantasies of the human mind don’t control Orion. And so it goes. We go one way or another, up or down. And so is it true of everybody else, without exception. How blessed we are to share something of this vision, to begin to know the truth, that we may be made free to live in the Seven-Dimensional world. We have ears to hear, and hearts to understand. It has been good to share this day with you.
