Dominion and the Hedge

Dominion  and  the  Hedge





Martin Exeter  November 1, 1987 pm



The illusory world not only must pass away but is in the process of doing so. I am reminded of the story of Job. At the point where the troubles really started for him, it was said that the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord and satan came also among them. Here was the seed of the troubles that were to ensue. The troubles came. The human mind had opportunity to follow out its own desires and determinations, so the troubles came. This is a very accurate portrayal of what has been happening in the world for a long time. The troubles came because of satan; that is the human mind creating its own world. It has been busy at this for ages. We are largely unaware of the various events out of the past when the human mind created particular worlds of which we now have no record. We know about this one and that’s perhaps enough. In each case of course in times past, whatever had been created passed away. So-called civilizations have come and gone. This present one is teetering on the brink.


The opportunity, however, is present to allow the mind to be used to create a real world rather than the unreal one which we now know. The mind is an instrument which can be used to create or to destroy. It is assumed that if one is mentally in a creative mode one is not at the same time destroying. The fact is that the mind, satan, interfering with the natural creative processes in order to gain its own ends, is not creating when it thinks it is but is in fact making sure of destruction. It may take a while. We ourselves, at least in the external sense as human beings, are the end product of a long period of satanic activity bringing us close to a final climax. Awakening somewhat to what it is that is happening, our minds, conscious and subconscious, may be made available to the true cause, so that the real world may be brought forth.


The true cause is the cause of the mind itself. The mind is simply an effect of another cause. The extent of its vision is therefore extremely limited and inevitably distorted if this other cause is ignored. Our concern has been to surrender the mind to the true cause, the cause which produced the mind in the first place. That cause produced the human mind for a reason. That reason has been long forgotten by the human mind, but there has been something of a reminder. It is said that the spirit of truth brings all things to remembrance. And we have been blessed to remember a little so that there might be an emergence, like in the story of Job, on the other end of all the stuff that is portrayed in the intervening chapters, the ridiculous arguments of Job’s friends. If you have had the dubious privilege of reading those chapters I am sure you will have been thoroughly bored. But you will have noted that the arguments that appear are very similar to all the talk that goes on in the world today.


One thing might immediately be learned: that no good thing, nothing of any value, came out of all that talk. This might well be applied to the state of affairs on earth now. Nothing is going to come out of all the talk, so you needn’t be so concerned about what is being said by the various friends who appear on the newscast, for instance. The answer doesn’t come out of all that talk, yet it seems that most people are wrapped up in what the various leaders, for instance, are saying to each other or to people in general, as though something creative was going to come out of it. It never will; it never could. Here is the mind of human beings completely unrelated to the cause of its existence. It discusses things that have no meaning whatsoever, but having poured considerable life force into all these efforts, these things seem to be big and important. Perhaps there will be a reduction in nuclear armaments—won’t that be wonderful? There are other ways of destruction also. Perhaps the least of the ways may be nuclear armaments. It is supposed that these have not been used because there was the fear of mutual destruction. This certainly indicates that if there wasn’t that fear they would have been used. Whatever it is in human beings that makes them behave this way still remains, and fear is in itself a destructive control.


There came a time when those who were talking so much to Job seemed to run out of steam. There was certainly a recognition on the part of Job that they weren’t saying anything. It is indicated that then the Lord spoke to Job out of the whirlwind. This is not exactly what occurred. We can see it, from our standpoint now, that Job provided a means by which the Lord could speak. How shall this Cause which, amongst many other things, created the human mind, speak? There is only one way: through the instrument that He created to speak. And so the Lord spoke out of the whirlwind because of Job, because there was someone to speak. There have been a lot of people who have cocked their ears in order to hear some word from God. And that has engendered a great deal of imagination but, in fact, no word from God! because the only way there may be speech from this original Cause is through the instrument that was created to speak.


I think human beings would be dumb, unable to speak, unless there was a reason for it. The reason for it has been long forgotten, and nothing but meaningless chatter has filled the earth ever since. But in this story of Job we have a story of mankind. We have seen this long interval in between the beginning of the story and the end of the story—many, many chapters of talk— and that’s what has been going on on earth for a long, long time. The human mind in its ignorance, not very blissful ignorance either, has imagined that something was being achieved by all this talk, which required thought of course. Some talk is backed by thought; a great deal isn’t. But thought was considered to be part of the process that was required. And knowledge has been multiplied, but the truth has been forgotten.





Now again we come to this hour, looking again at this story of Job. Original Cause spoke out of the whirlwind. This could occur because Job was on hand to do the talking, to speak; and the whirlwind relates to the creative process—the creative process which uplifts and also lowers down. We have some examples of whirlwinds in tornadoes. They do quite a bit of uplifting and slamming down again. These are deemed to be acts of God, when they are in fact evidences of the failure of man. They are not very good examples of this whirlwind of the creative process because this is very orderly. However it does raise up and lower down. There is integration, there is disintegration, related to the creative process. This occasion, when the word came out of the whirlwind because of Job, was at the conclusion of the era of talk. How wonderful if that conclusion was really at hand, so that there might cease to be all this racket on earth!


At this concluding point something very definite was said: “Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?” That’s a blanket statement that could cover the human race I think. Perhaps the word knowledge is not the right word. In this instance understanding would be better, because there is an immense amount of knowledge around, increasing all the time. The more knowledge there is, the worse affairs become. Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without understanding, without really knowing anything, entirely wrapped up in mental gymnastics for the achievement of human ends? And it may be that that achievement will be quite successful. It could end human beings.


Here is a statement finally emerging with authority relating to all the nonsense that has been going on on earth for so long: What in the hell do you think you’re doing?—it’s in the hell all right—if you’re so brilliant and intelligent, tell me where you were at the beginning of the creation when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy. Of course “the morning stars” relate to Lucifer, the mind of man in heaven where it belongs, rather than in hell. So this which is portrayed in these verses in the Book of Job can be recognized as an actual experience occurring now.


Our responsibility is to provide the means by which this original Cause can cause what is necessary now. This can only happen because there are those human beings present on earth who are not so wrapped up in the nonsense that their facilities may be offered in the expression of what is necessary. And if that is so, then what is the expression? “Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without understanding?” That has been said to us, hasn’t it? We have been busy at that in the past. Perhaps we’re beginning to emerge out of it, that there might be a facility on earth, not just of one person but of a body of people, through whom the word of original Cause may be spoken. Now when I say that, that is not just speech. It is the expression of original Cause, and that expression is describable as the radiance of spirit.


That radiance only appears when there is a mind still enough, and a heart also, to accommodate it. For that to happen one must shut up, stop the nonsense. To the extent that we have been willing to do this and actually did it, we know something of what that radiance is. We know it without being able to define it in mental terms. Immediately you think you are able to define something that is of spirit in mental terms, you lose the spirit. The spirit rightly brings forth such mental terms as may be necessary, but the mind, as we well know, can never encompass spirit. It can never observe or comprehend original Cause, but it can be the vehicle by which original Cause speaks the Word, sounds the Tone, releases the radiation, which gets the job done. Being unaccustomed to this, I am sure that there has been a feeling of uncertainty as to whether the job really would get done; and there has been a tendency remaining to try to manipulate things, at least a little.


We have seen this in terms of serving the King, of being available on earth as His ministers—responsible to the King, not responsible to any of the mind-made world (although we would behave as reasonably as is possible in that world), but being responsible to the King and administering the creative process, so that what finds expression comes out of the whirlwind. It doesn’t come out of the mind-made world. The mind-made world cannot be acceptable anymore as a cause for what we think or what we feel or what we say or what we do. It’s taken into account, yes, but we know where the cause is: in the whirlwind, in the creative process. We speak, we act, we think, we feel, out of the whirlwind; and that does something, not in the usual human manipulative ways, but it begins to reestablish, for one thing, a hedge on earth which previously was broken by satan. Lucifer fell into the earth and became satan and came also among the sons and daughters of God, and the results occurred. The hedge was broken and the troubles started.





The hedge must be reestablished. At the moment we don’t have much of a hedge. We have a little and we may be most thankful for the evidence of it that there has been, for there has been protection in many ways. But it isn’t just a matter of self-protection; it’s a matter of establishing dominion. If dominion is established there is nothing that can penetrate that. Dominion is possible because of original Cause, and when original Cause is accommodated in our minds then there begins to be a hedge, a hedge which protects what it is that is emerging into the world.


Who knows exactly what it is that is emerging into the world? I don’t think any of us would be so arrogant as to say we do. All we know is that what should emerge into the world is doing so, and we discover what it is as we go along. There is no preview of coming attractions. And we delight deliberately to be aligned with this creative process so that dominion may be reestablished in our own experience, dominion which extends into the world. The hedge was originally broken. The hedge is recreated. Are there times when you feel that disaster is knocking at your door, maybe a nameless disaster? Sometimes you can give it a form of some kind. Do you believe that? Do you have faith in disaster? Or is there a dawning awareness of the reality of dominion, so that finally there is no need to bolster anything up from an external source? We bolster things up now, and it’s wise perhaps that we do. We carry fire insurance, for instance.


But we have the responsibility of reestablishing dominion. That can’t be done as long as human beings are serving themselves. It isn’t self-protection in the human sense. It is a hedge which emerges through and surrounds the collective body of those whose minds are restored to true Cause, whose minds are again in heaven, out of which, by no means whatsoever, can they be dragged. If your mind justifies anything which can take you out of the heaven, well obviously you are not yet trustworthy. Let the mind be obedient to true Cause, and behold, dominion is then reestablished on earth. Those who are awake, or awakening, know this and behave accordingly.

To Be Geniunely Thankful

 from


To  Be  Genuinely  Thankful





Martin Exeter   November 29, 1987 am



To be thankful, to be genuinely thankful!—thankful to be together, thankful for the music we have just shared, thankful for the opportunity of being thankful. Thankfulness was a key that was offered many, many years ago to most of us, but to everyone—not so much thankfulness for external things, although there needs to be thankfulness for these, thankfulness without judgment. Thankfulness is the key, regardless of the circumstance. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2019/01/through-gates-of-praise-from-outer.html] There is a tendency to forget this. The things we don't like are emphasized: “It's cold,” with a subtle spirit of complaint back of the comment. External circumstances are the way they are. In this very moment they are the way they are. Let us rejoice and give thanks. However, let us also withdraw our attention from the external circumstance.


We are aware that there is a creative process at work. Whatever the spirit is in human beings, in their attitudes and expression, so will the circumstances be. The circumstances have no power of themselves; they are only a reflection of what is present in human beings. Whatever the circumstances may happen to be is perfect, a perfect reflection of the cause of those circumstances; and the cause relates to the spirit which is present in the living expression of human beings. The world is the way it is, reflecting perfectly what is present in the human beings who inhabit this planet. It is futile and a waste of time trying to manipulate circumstances so as to get them to conform to something that would be pleasing to the particular manipulators. Circumstances will continue to reflect accurately what it is that is present in human minds and hearts.


We have seen this illustrated in what occurs when one looks into the mirror. There is a reflection. The reflection is quite accurate (reversed of course) of the person who is looking in the mirror. If the reflection in the mirror is a mess, it's no use blaming the reflection or trying to change it. Let the changes come in the one who looks in the mirror and the reflection will change. The form of things, the circumstances in the environment round about, is the reflection in the mirror. There are those who think that the solution to this is to break the mirror. Foolishness, isn't it? We may be thankful that the reflection is as accurate as it surely is. It's most revealing. What does any one of us see in the mirror? All we see is the reflection.


The reflection takes on the characteristics of the one who is looking into the mirror, as well as the characteristics of others. But the one who looks into the mirror has the most influence as to the reflection. There are multitudes of different opinions, views of what is present in the mirror, but the difference is that the person who is looking in the mirror is in the foreground. The background may merge into something that is commonly seen, but what is observed in the foreground will be primarily the reflection of the person who is looking. If it seems as though there is much to complain about in the reflection, then it would seem sensible to see what might be done to allow changes to come in the one who observes. At least there would begin to be a different reflection in the foreground. That different reflection in the foreground may not as yet carry through into the background, but at least there is the beginning of a change in the reflection, which is the realm of form and circumstance. The change comes closest to oneself if one lets something happen in oneself. Most don't like to look too closely at the figure in the foreground. They would rather observe all that's going on in the background: “Something has to be done about that.” But what can be done? There is only one way that something can happen and that is for the figure in the foreground to clean up his act. Let that happen first. When that does happen, the scene in the background also changes somewhat. Opinions are relinquished.


Most people maintain their self-image on the basis of their opinions. If one has no opinions one is deemed to be nothing. Most are collectors of opinions. Very few of them originate with the person. They are gleaned from others. Someone else is dealing the hands and one picks it up and there it is: “This is my hand.” Some people claim that they have been dealt a poor hand. Others may be lucky—there is a straight flush. Opinions, opinions. All this relates to the form of things round about, to human reactions to the form of things round about, reactions to the reflection in the mirror. What futility!





We ourselves perhaps have seen something of this futility and have recognized that there is nothing that can be done about the background picture, but there is something that can be done about the figure that is in the foreground: oneself. There is a dawning recognition that because the reflection is of what is in oneself primarily, what is present in oneself may be permitted to change. This is the last thing that most people are interested in. One's own behavior is reflected most accurately in the mirror. Clearly we have the primary responsibility as individuals for the rest of the world. The starting point insofar as the rest of the world is concerned is right here in oneself. Unless that is addressed nothing constructive occurs in the rest of the world. So, accepting this responsibility we have come to be aware that there is a spirit present which could find expression in our living if it was not prevented by all our opinions, by all our reactions to the reflection in the mirror. It should be obvious that those reactions need to be relinquished. Most are so embedded in this reactionary stance that they can't conceive of relinquishing their reactions.


It is utterly useless to struggle with what is present in the mirror, what is present in form, what is present in the circumstance. We can easily judge what is present in the mirror and say, “It shouldn't be that way.” But it is that way, whatever the way is. We may not see it accurately because our vision is distorted by the foreground figure. But, whatever it is, it's the way it is. It couldn't be any other way. It must be that way, because it is only a reflection of what is present in human beings, and in oneself in particular because one is in the foreground of one's own mirror. We recognize the opportunity to allow such reactions to fade.


The reflection in the mirror is consequent upon the fact of the satanic—that's a good word—the satanic spirit which is present in human behavior. Part of that satanic spirit is judgment. The satanic spirit simply indicates that there is something absent. The fact that there is any spirit at all is indication that the truth is present. But because of the absences of the experience of that truth a satanic spirit appears, and that satanic spirit is reflected by the circumstances. The circumstances then control the behavior of the human being, and the behavior of the human being is a revelation of the satanic spirit. So there is a movement round in a circle. There is only one way by which this vicious circle can be broken and that is because reaction to the circumstance ceases. As long as circumstances govern our behavior we will embody the satanic spirit. Reaction merely intensifies the reflection in the mirror of the spirit which is of a satanic nature. Stop being so concerned with the reflection in the mirror. That is not where our primary concern should be.


There is a power at work—the creative process—whch is absolutely unstoppable. This power is invisible, unknown to virtually everybody on the face of the earth, because they are so wrapped up in their reactions to the reflection in the mirror, trying to get ahead of the game somehow—the game being reflected in the mirror. But there is the creative process at work. All that is happening in form and in circumstance in the mirror results from the movement of this creative process. There is something going on behind that reflection which, according to what is present in human beings, produces this reflection, which is just a surface crust over the movement of the creative process, and that surface crust is consequent upon what is present in human beings. What's really happening is underneath the surface of that crust: the movement of the creative process, the movement not of satanic spirit but of the Spirit of the King.


The movement of the Spirit of the King working in the creative process is in command. The surface crust is the human experience where everybody is vying to control it somehow—an impossible task. The movement occurs because of the creative process; therefore is not that the weighty matter? Is not that all that really matters? Do we have to be hypnotized by what is observed in the mirror? Or can we say, “None of those things move me. I know what that is. It is simply the mixed-up reactions of human beings to the movement of the creative process”? One can give thanks for circumstances simply because of that, not because the circumstances are nice or nasty. One can give thanks for the movement of the creative process which presently, because of what is in the consciousness of human beings, erupts in the way it does. It should erupt that way. There is nothing wrong with that eruption; it's just the reflection of what is present in human beings in that level of consciousness which has excluded the movement of the creative process. All right, here we are, finally willing to include the movement of the creative process in our own experience. And we can't do that if we are reacting and justifying our reactions to the reflection in the mirror.


Now at last we may come to the point of being able to look in the mirror and say with absolute assurance, “None of these things move me. I know what they are. I understand what's happening. I can give thanks for what's happening because it's all coming about by reason of the movement of the creative process. Now I have some awareness of that creative process; I know something of the Spirit of the King, and in my own living, because I am no longer being pushed around by my reactions to circumstances, by my judgments. I have clear space for the Spirit of the King.”





There was a wonderful portrayal of this long ago in the person of Jesus. No matter what came, no matter what was present in the mirror, insofar as He was concerned He was not going to get into a battle with it. There was a clear understanding of the way things work. We learn to allow the reflection in the mirror to be what it is because it is what it is, and to permit something to change in our own experience. That's the first change, isn't it. Oh yes, there will be those who are involved in that reflection who will say, “Don't you have any feelings? Surely you should get on your charger, level your lance and spear the dragon!” We have had many Saint Georges around over the ages, but the dragon is still as active as ever with his seven heads and ten horns: the satanic consciousness of mankind. We are not interested in slaying the dragon, because he only exists on our own life force. Withdraw that life force and there isn't any dragon. Withdraw that life force which keeps human beings governed by the reflection in the mirror. There is a reflection. Oh yes! We would have to acknowledge that; we can see it all around. But why let that be the controlling emotional element?


It is love for the Spirit of the King which transcends this vicious circle. We come again to know the truth. We can't be lured anymore from that knowing. I am the one who has been given this gift of understanding. I am the one who is responsible for receiving it and for allowing the Spirit of the King to govern. When the Spirit of the King governs, I come in His Name. Blessed is he indeed who comes in the Name of the King, comes in His Name because the reflection in the mirror no longer controls. I am thankful that we have the opportunity today to be together in the Spirit of the King. Then the reflection in the mirror, while we know it's still there, carries no weight, is no longer seen as being of any importance whatsoever, except of course as it reveals what is present in the hearts and minds of human beings. But let us reveal the Spirit of the King, so that the truth may be reflected in the mirror; and the truth reflected in the mirror is first the truth of the figure in the foreground. Each may say, “I am the truth, and this truth is reflected in the foreground of the mirror which constitutes my world.”


The Spirit of the King is surely supreme to us. That spirit carries an absoluteness of which we become increasingly aware as it finds expression consistently in our living. To the extent that this is so, our behavior must be of the character of the King. Each of us is here on earth to reveal the Spirit of the King in momentary living consistently. The Spirit of the King moving in the creative process is everything in our experience. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2019/02/response-lust-passion-martin-cecil.html] Here is the absolute government, the control and the design of truth. I am thankful that there are those who come in the Name of the King.


“I know the power of the Spirit of my King.” This may be the statement made by anyone, because that power is a reality already. It simply has not been known by human beings, because human beings can claim human rights not to know it. There is one human right and that is to love the King—the only one. Loving the King then makes the King known. Knowing the King, it is possible to come in His Name. We are here to come in His Name, having no other human right. “I have a right to be human.” No! No one has that right. The human makes possible the presence of the King on earth. That is the only right. When that is so, there is nothing to be defended, nothing to possess, for the world is not in reality a mirror. It is a window of heaven, and through the window heaven is known.





In all things give thanks. Be thankful. That is a natural state when the Spirit of the King is known as it works in the creative process. That's all we are here present to do: to let that spirit work in the creative process—nothing else—certainly not to make ourselves important in some way, but to be the means by which this creative spirit brings forth heaven, revealing it through the window of heaven which, in the external sense, we ourselves rightly are.

Service In The Temple Of Light

Service  In  The  Temple  Of  Light





templeoflightservices.blogspot.com



David Barnes   May 2021   Salmon Arm, BC



First, we should acknowledge together, and thank the LORD for the wonders that have been made manifest in our lives over the years, each one of us, and the wonders that are yet to come. Right at the beginning, I want to say a few words about the initiation of a new service pattern, and how this new monthly Temple of Light service opportunity opened up last February and March. We acknowledge and clearly recognize that it is emerging and being born through all of you, and many others as well. We do not open up such things in isolation. They emerge through the whole, through many Angels in expression on earth at this time. This morning I was reflecting on a passage from the Gospel of John. The Master Jesus—the Master of the Temple of Love—had this to say: “Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.” The word Son relates to the formation of the Temple of Light, and the hour has come to initiate a new cycle that complements the fine work that is being done by many people, coming alive with new energy, new spirit and new substance in this day. In this initiation, the Son may glorify the Father and prepare the way for the Mother.


We have a life span in which to give ourselves to this vibrational formation which has been developing. If we do it right, when our incarnation is complete we pass it on to another generation of Angels who have come into Temple service with us, prepared to carry it on after we are finished and we leave. This is a large project, the restoration of the consciousness mankind, and the formation of the Temple of Light, which rightly should enfold within its sphere of influence every human being who yields to that; and it also includes the whole earth and all of creation. We are in the midst of a vast re-creation project, and process of refocalization.


Recently a certain amount of emphasis has been placed on an awareness of the spiritual presence of Melchizedek, Priest of the Most High God, and the Melchizedek influence that is known in these days, as we bring our substance and our contributions toward the building and the shining in the Temple of Light in this era. Not long ago, Yujin Pak spoke of these things in a service in Seoul, South Korea. What a privilege and a great responsibility, to recognize that Melchizedek came four thousand years ago and reminded Abraham of his work and his commission in initiating the cycle of the restoration of the Temple of Light in the earth; and Moses carried it forward with the formation of the Tabernacle, the Ark, the Priesthood and the Twelve Tribes; and Melchizedek came again, this time in the form of the Master Jesus, born as a human being, to live the life of a man on earth, calling others to remembrance and awakening, and setting in motion a cycle that would absolutely, firmly establish the restoration of the Melchizedek Priesthood, the Tribes of the earth in oneness, and all creation as part of the glory of the shining of the Temple of Light. More recently Uranda incarnated to carry forward this work, to open up the cycle in this Age. We find, right from the beginning, that he emphasized the reality of the Temple of Light. All of us were introduced long ago to Uranda’s writing, Seven Steps To The Temple Of Light, which we have opened many times I am sure. But now we find ourselves walking those Seven Steps in reality every day, opening the Way for others, even as he opened essential doors for us—and as the Master Jesus opened the Seven Seals in a complete sense for all who would walk in the Way of the Master on earth. We acknowledge the Angels and the Archangels who came before us and very clearly opened the Way to the Temple of Light.


Here are some words by Uranda, speaking about Melchizedek, Priest of the Most High God, KING of Salem, KING of Peace. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2020/09/melchizedekking-of-salem.html] Addressing the 1953 Class, and speaking to us right now, he said: “Your function here in this School has for its purpose the basic initiation into the Priesthood after the Order of Melchizedek. There can be no true manifestation of spiritual power except on the basis of the Priesthood after the Order of Melchizedek. This is the keynote, the key point, in relationship to the outworking of the whole Divine Plan and Pattern. And those who would share in the fulfilment of that Divine Purpose on earth must, to some degree at least, begin to share the reality of the Priesthood after the Order of Melchizedek… It is necessary that we enter the Priesthood after the Order of Melchizedek—not only to speak the Word of the Lord but to do the works of the Lord, to work out the Divine Pattern on earth, to live the reality... And it is only as this reality of Priesthood is made manifest that we can have the manifestation of power necessary to the accomplishment of the Divine Purpose on earth.”





We here know that long ago we participated in that basic initiation, and we have moved along the Path leading onward from that point—we and many others, not just we few here—but we may clearly acknowledge that the initiation took place for us way, way back. And here we are now as Angels, friends together with a responsibility that is in accord with the Word, the Creative Command, “Let US remake man, mankind, and all creation.” Let US as Angels, as a collective, working together with the Archangelic focalizations who are centered in the LORD of Lords—let US play our part, letting it come to focus from the lowest to the highest vibration in the Heaven, according to what each one of us is called to do in our work and our service together. In order to lay the foundation clearly, I want to say a few things right the start of this new cycle, represented by the initiation of this new monthly Temple of Light service pattern.


Throughout the past few years, many of us have become more keenly aware of the opportunities available to let intensified and rhythmic currents of radiation flow through our own body temples, into the living earth itself, and into the world body of humanity that is showing so many manifestations of sickness. When thinking about these things this morning, it took me back to late 1987 and early 1988, that time when Martin Exeter was completing his incarnation; and all of us were aware that something unprecedented in experience was taking place in his body—and then he left. That was thirty-three years ago this year. Thirty-three years is the length of time that the Master lived on earth in the body of Jesus—preparing Himself to begin His public ministry and complete His incarnation, and finish the work that He came on earth to accomplish. It is written in the Book of Acts that after the crucifixion He continued with the disciples for forty days, “To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.”


I have often thought, over this past year, of these thirty-three years that have passed since Martin left, as symbolizing thirty-three of those forty days when the Master remained close with His disciples—a period where Martin’s spirit has lingered close with us, and has been felt by us, speaking silently and heard by us in the sanctuary of the Temple of our own hearts and minds and bodies—speaking of things pertaining to the Kingdom of God in this day, and preparing a body of people who would assemble in the forming Temple of Light and serve in Angelic maturity. All of us have been involved in that unfolding pattern of listening, and hearing what it is that the Lord has been speaking over the past thirty-three years. We have been diligent about our generations, being prepared for a day when once again there could be drawn together an assembly of disciples and ministers, prophets and priests, male and female, in the Upper Room of the Temple, letting an outpouring of the Spirit occur through us in waves of radiance, and return, so that the LORD might have a vehicle, a Temple Body on earth through which to release His radiance. We discover, as we find union in the Temple, that this is our own Angelic radiance, one with His Almighty radiance.


Some of Martin’s last words to us were, “The light of the body is in the eye. If thine eye be single thy whole body shall be filled with light.” “Let your light so shine.” The Word of the Lord to those who are invited to participate in the formation and serve in the Temple, is: “If thine eye be single thy whole collective Temple Body shall be filled with light—shall be a Temple of Light composed of many Angels incarnate and in expression”—many human beings in spiritual expression together. Laura Fisher wrote me a note this morning; she said, “It is my pleasure to be with you as you prepare for service this morning. The times I was with Martin's household on Sunday mornings before service, there was a silence that rang like universal Toning! It was deafening and all consuming!” The Lord is in his holy temple—let all the earth keep silence before Him.





Here we are gathered today, some of the people who worked and served with Martin; some of those who, over these intervening years, have come to know him as he was and is, and have come to know the LORD because of him. And so right now, in the early months of 2021, it is keenly felt that there is a need to begin a new pattern of service that is designed to facilitate the generation of a very unique quality of refined pneumaplasm. This will happen—it is a Divine promise—when everyone gathered together in one accord in one place is sustaining an atmosphere that allows an outpouring of spirit that is natural to each specific service period. This is an opportunity to bring our love and thanksgiving to the focus of spirit for this Seven-Plane World, the LORD of Lords, and provide Him with a Body, a vehicle through which to release His Power under control and through His design—worship in spirit and in truth. We wouldn’t be able to do that if we didn’t know Him and His spirit, that spirit which is present in the Temple of Love, the Temple of Light, and the Temple of Life, now forming in Heaven and on earth. He is the High Priest in the Temple—not as in priestly lineages of this religious world, but as we spoke earlier, the lineage of the Melchizedek Priesthood.


So we will gather, as we are here, to provide a Body of ministers and disciples, prophets and priests, who know that this is who they are—who I am. By reason of our presence in that capacity, by whatever name it might rightly be called, we provide a living vehicle through which the radiation of Shekinah may flow into His Body and His world—may pour forth in rhythms of blessing, released outward to all, and welcomed as they return to us and to Him in the ascending current.


Those who know the Voice of the Master love His Voice. The Master is in the Temple. We find that present often in the eastern world—when one enters a Temple there is a priest or a master in the Temple. Those who love the Master of All know His voice, and they follow Him. So we are going to use, as part of what we do, the high vibrational qualities that are inherent in primary Third Sacred School materials, to open some doors, release the radiation, look at things anew, and allow a movement together into higher ranges—and let a vertical expansion take place. Much preoccupation with external or horizontal expansion has prevailed over the last 2000 years—some of that necessary in order to get people and situations in the world changed around so that the LORD could have a clear shot at refocalizing the cycle of restoration in this era, working through new arrangements of substance and people. But there has been a tremendous over-preoccupation with horizontal expansion and horizontal creation, even among our numbers in the past, and most people seem to think that squashing all activity into the physical and mental levels, with a thinly destructive emotional layer woven through it all, is the only way to go. But here we have an opportunity to let a fine vertical, pneumaplasmic and spiritual expansion occur.





So we are hopeful that, in the days to come, this service opportunity will give each of us who are Temple Priests and Priestesses an opportunity to share what we each have to bring and offer, through reading a transcript excerpt by Uranda or Martin, and speaking extemporaneously—original, authentic and fully alive now! Let each one speak in their own natural tongue and language, their own choice of phrasing and words—anything that fits in Temple service. Anything is welcome, that helps, as Uranda put it, “to work out the Divine Pattern on earth”—anything that is respectful and respecting of others, that is reverent, anything that is sacred, from lowest in the clear Heaven to the Most High that can be wisely and rightly shared. All this is open to us. There is no room for conflict, no room for judgment, no room for criticism. But there is a great deal of space for straight, clear, clean, direct talk, conversation and silence in Upper Room of the Temple—anything that really fits in the movement that we share together. After any reading, will have an open space for free-flowing and radiant conversation, moving in the clear current of the Word. And there is no need to imagine that any one of us should speak in a particular kind of group language, group-speak, or group-think. Each is totally free to speak in their own natural manner, as I am free now with you—and I certainly don’t expect that you would say it like I do.


Each Priest, male or female, is called to bring what they uniquely as an Angel are called to bring to the LORD and to His Priesthood Body. As such, each is part of the Body of the High Priest, reforming on earth in a conscious way, through conscious expression, because of the transformation that has been taking place in the subconscious, because of the pure heart and the Holy Ghost substance now permeating that subconscious realm. So there is no concern about what might erupt out of the subconscious into the conscious, to disrupt in a manner that doesn’t fit in the Temple, because only that which does fit is allowed in and out.


So we begin with small numbers, and let a vertical expansion take place, not so much concerned with horizontal expansion or larger numbers of people. But we have been interested in inviting certain ones to begin with, knowing the Core Focus that various ones have been maintaining; that focus which has allowed the emergence we have all seen through various groupings in various locations over the past couple of years in particular. And this monthly Temple of Light service pattern, at this point, can assist in providing a Core Focus point, that contributes in an integrating way, in a creative way, to all that is being offered everywhere through everyone who is functioning at any level in a genuine spiritual sense, in spiritual expression, whether they are conscious of so functioning or yet unconscious, but who have a love for what is at the core of integrity in themselves and in the world body. We can assist in providing an orientation point for this greater coming forth, something that is helpful in the world. So, as the highest essences of the spirit that we are naturally equipped to allow to move from the inner realms through us are allowed release, we are a representative Core Body and an external Temple setting through which the spirit can move both consciously and subconsciously from Core to the periphery of all that is being drawn together by love, into union with the Spirit of the Most High. We can let it build, and evolve and reshape in the creative process over the coming months.





I feel that it is important to be clear and specific at the beginning, relative to what this new venture is about. We are all very aware of the profane world. Profane is defined as that which is outside of the Temple—out of timing, out of phase, out of rhythm. Centered in the Word, we walk easily in the profane world, speaking with those who are awakening and who are drawn to us. But here there is opportunity to gather as Priests of the Most High God, in Temple service. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2021/02/the-temple-of-light-is-here.html] This rings true and right to me. There is pure delight at the opportunity we have to be together in this way—together in Heaven on earth, as we have been over the past thirty-three years, letting this important cycle of clarification come. With an awareness of all its apparent losses, there is this apparent gain: evidence of the Presence of the LORD, of the Word made flesh, to this degree. We acknowledge these things and move together in accord. What fulfillment might the next seven years bring!

Lucifer The Transparent Mind

Lucifer


The  Transparent  Mind





Martin Exeter  November 22, 1987 pm



“I have always found the movement of the spirit in the creative process to be most ingenious.”



It has been said that there is a need for faith. I suppose if one is not familiar with the movement of the creative process in one’s own experience, then there would need to be some sort of faith to assure oneself that everything is going to work out all right. But if the creative process is present in one’s own expression of living, then there is the assurance constantly that everything is all right, everything is under control.


We were considering the first heaven and the first earth, the state in which human beings are embedded at present and out of which, by reason of the creative process, there may be those who shall emerge into the experience of the new heaven and the new earth. The new heaven and the new earth include the creative process. The creative process is universal. It is not restricted to operation in what we now conceive of as this planet. The creative process is at work everywhere. I have touched on the manner of its working in this broader sense before. Evidently it didn’t have all that much meaning to those to whom I spoke. Gradually, as the creative process continues to work and we abide with it, clarification may come.


I spoke of the creative process in broader terms as relating to the overall picture. The creative process makes possible what we think of as creation. I have spoken before of what Uranda referred to as the unformed—“potential substance” to be used by the creative process. It isn’t anything to start with, and yet it isn’t nothing; you can't make something out of nothing. But there is the unformed, the unactivated substance—“non-substance.” There isn’t any word in the human language which would describe it, because insofar as the human view is concerned it’s nothing. But when activated by reason of specific radiation from the angelic standpoint it becomes—not physical substance necessarily yet, but as available material in which the creative process can work. At that point where it emerges out of the nothingness into the somethingness it is in a state of chaos. It is just available material—no form to it, no design to it—raw material into which the radiation of the creative process continues.


This radiation springs out of the new heaven. We may bring this out of the larger universal picture into what’s happening within the range of our responsibility. The first heaven and the first earth are present. The human state as it now is is present the way it is because of the rupture of its connection with the true heaven. The first heaven and the first earth is a mind creation—a mind unconnected with its source, unagreeable with its source, seeking to have its own way, to do its own thing, to create something that would be pleasing to itself. This is the way human beings function. The attempt is made to lift what is available for the working of the human mind out of the creative process and to institute something that is under the control of the mind. We are aware of these things and we see the chaos that has resulted—the increasing chaos.


The creative process as it works properly, without the interference of a rebellious mind, moves through successive states leading out of chaos into order. The order is present in the new heaven. The chaos at the starting point would be present in the new earth—but it’s all under control, it’s all working as it should, and there is an orderly progression out of chaos into order on this basis. When the connection was broken, the connection being the human mind in this particular field of responsibility, then the creative process had no way of operating in what is now called the first heaven and the first earth. That state is chaos. It is gradually becoming more and more evident that this is so—it is moving toward complete chaos. The starting point for the creative process in the larger picture was at the point of complete chaos. There is no necessity for it to go, in this human experience, to the point of complete chaos. The creative process could come into operation when the mind of man is available, when Lucifer is in place, at any time, and begin to move everything under control out of whatever level of chaos there is toward the state of order.


Another way of putting this would be to use the terms dissonance and consonance. The new heaven is a consonant heaven and, because it is a consonant heaven, the new earth is a consonant earth, even though there may be considerable dissonance in it; because there is a movement out of complete dissonance toward the experience of consonance. But it’s all under control and there is nothing wrong with the dissonance in such case. In other terms, this is the movement out of evil into good. These are rather risky terms to use because human beings have so many concepts about good and evil. But the genuine article of evil is required in the creative process and the genuine article of good also. If we see it in terms of movement from dissonance to consonance we can understand better perhaps what is happening.


At any point where there is a facility to permit Lucifer to be on hand again, the radiation out of the consonant heaven into the first heaven and the first earth brings that state of dissonance into the movement of the creative process. I don’t think there’s any greater dissonance—just a different kind of thing—in the human state now than there was at the point of the initiation of the creative cycle when there was complete chaos in the material available for the use of the creative cycle. It’s quite all right—spoken of rather graphically in the story of creation in Genesis: “darkness was upon the face of the deep.” There was nothing—the inert material not yet activated, the positive and negative factors not yet set up in the material so that it becomes available to the creative process.





Well in the state of the world the way it is, everything is in chaos because it has become separated from the radiation out of the true heaven, the new heaven, the consonant heaven, where it originates, and the radiation has not had a means of reaching this chaotic condition. Human beings have been intent on keeping it separate. “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.” The earth belongs to the creative process, not to man. Man has stolen it and done with it as he pleases and produced this extent of chaos. The chaos will keep increasing until there is an adequate provision out of the new heaven through Lucifer into this chaotic condition. It is then drawn into the state of the new earth. This can only happen when Lucifer is on hand. It will never happen as long as satan is on hand.


Most of human effort has related to the endeavor to try to convert dissonance into the concept of consonance that the particular person had. In this first heaven and first earth state nobody knows what the consonance of the new heaven is. It is always a concept that someone has as to the way things should be, and with Emissaries, of course: “Things should be the way I interpret what the teachings of the Emissaries are.” But the Emissaries aren’t a teaching. They are the evidence of the restoration of Lucifer, which is an experience that can’t be taught: it must be accepted. We ourselves have seen something of this, but still have endeavored to deal with dissonances that came up in our experience by good effort of some kind. There is nothing that can be done in the first heaven and the first earth state which will achieve anything but more chaos.


We don’t get rid of the things that are supposedly wrong in ourselves and in others. We’ve often been very keen to get rid of such things in others, and some have been very sincere in their efforts to get rid of these things in themselves. But it never happened, never could happen, because working out of the first heaven only increased chaos can be produced. It isn’t a matter of trying to deal with the things that are seemingly of a dissonant nature in our experience—and the fact of the matter is that virtually everything in human experience is of a dissonant nature, because the possibility of consonance has been excluded. The true heaven has been excluded in favor of the human invention. So this whole state of the first heaven and the first earth is being called in question—we know that. What has been referred to as human nature is to pass away. The first heaven and the first earth are to pass away. This is the inevitable experience. But the true heaven has never been dissolved; it’s always been there, it’s still there, it’s still operative. The creative process is still working, in spite of all the antics of human beings in their first heaven and first earth. All that has been achieved is increasing chaos, increasing dissonance.


All right, here’s an excellent state of affairs for the working of the creative process—but the creative process doesn’t work out of the first heaven. The creative process works out of the new heaven, the true heaven, the heaven that has been excluded. It ceases to be excluded when Lucifer is on hand to let it be in the living experience which is known on earth, so that there is radiation out of the true heaven into this dissonant state presently called the human condition. The radiant action of the creative process is brought to bear upon this dissonant state. That is the natural course of events, that it may be drawn into consonance. This is what happens in the creative process in any case, but now it needs to happen in something that has been extraneously produced because of the state of the human mind accommodating satan. There is this state of chaos, this state of dissonance, which can be included in the creative process in a constructive way once Lucifer is present, once the consonant radiation out of the consonant heaven can be brought to bear in the dissonant earth. Our concern has been to allow this restoration of Lucifer, the mind of man, out of the first heaven into the true heaven.


It is useless to struggle with anything that is present in the first heaven and the first earth—here is satan contending with satan. The human mind must be restored to the true heaven. Then it discovers that, while it has something to do—there is a purpose there—it doesn’t direct what is done. I’m sure all can easily relate to the endeavor to correct things. You see something that you think is wrong, it shouldn’t be that way, and you try to correct it. Of course we’ve ascended a little bit because we don’t try to correct it anymore in somebody else—isn’t that right?—we’re more concerned to correct it in ourselves now. That’s un-selfish, but it’s useless. It doesn’t achieve anything, because no one can correct anything that way.


The creative process does the job. But it only does it when there is a means by which this creative process can be released in radiance into the field where the work needs to be done. And that requires Lucifer on hand: a transparent mind, not a mind that imagines it can do anything on its own, that it can think up some great scheme for getting everything into shape. It can’t do it! All it does is produce more chaos. It doesn’t matter how good the intention is, it just doesn’t work that way. This is the state of affairs that has been stolen from the true heaven. As was originally indicated, the thought was that man might be as God, might be able to do everything without having any participation in the creative process. “I'm going to do it all myself. I’m going to arrange things. I can see how they ought to be. I have some good ideas here. I can set up a very effective political system, or a religion, or something else. We’ll get it done this way.” Never! Of course the chaos is here; the proof is here.


Chaos is a natural starting point insofar as the creative process is concerned. It’s no problem to the creative process. The creative process is available but there must be the mind in heaven to allow that creative process to flow into the earth. And there is a flow to it, there is a pulsation to it. Finally we come to the point of participating in peace and serenity. There must be room, space, stillness, so that what is actually working because of the creative process has a means of ingress into the earth. And immediately the radiation in the working of that creative process begins to put things together, bringing order out of chaos, drawing dissonance into consonance. In the true creative process where there has been no human interference it works naturally. Only in this particular field of human interference has the trouble put in an appearance. Let the creative process work in us—discover what it is. Heretofore it’s had no room to work, because our minds and hearts have been so full of clutter. So, relinquish the clutter. Do not try to get rid of it, just be willing to let it go, not struggling with it, not judging it, not feeling badly because you tried to do something and it didn’t work out.


Let us rise up to the level of the new heaven, being drawn up. That is the way it happens—the attractive power of love. That’s what is experienced first. That draws resonant substance up. If there is some resonant substance in us we will be drawn up. Those in whom there isn’t resonant substance presently, won’t be drawn up. But we have been drawn up to the point where we can begin to experience the reality of the new heaven and the reality of the creative process, and the fact that it works without the conscious mind necessarily understanding what’s happening. The conscious mind has become so arrogant that it imagines that nothing can really happen unless it understands what’s happening. But when it imagines that it understands what’s happening, it always messes things up. So by and large it’s much better to remain unconscious and trust the working of the creative process. As we move along, it rises up to the level of a conscious awareness and we know exactly, specifically, how it is working relative to our own field of responsibility. But one can never come to that point until there is a willingness to relinquish the futile thrashing around of our minds and hearts, trying to do all the things they try to do.





Come to rest. Be still. Let peace and serenity come into experience. Let peace and serenity be the atmosphere of the Emissary body, be the atmosphere of any unit, any group, because it is the acceptable experience of all the individuals concerned. Let me be at peace. Let me be serene because I can trust the creative process. So order comes out of chaos. Dissonance is resolved into consonance. Lucifer is the Morning Star, the Son of the Morning—the Morning Stars sang together. This is what happens at the point of resolution. It’s a song indeed—dissonance into consonance. The Morning Stars sing together, and all the Sons of God shout for the joy of the radiation of love. Here is the experience of the creative process, available to be known.


The human mind usually thinks that everything has to be discussed, argued about, considered back and forth, until some sort of a consensus of agreement can be reached. That is a useless undertaking. As there is the natural movement through the yielded mind and heart as the creative process flows, there is agreement between all through whom it is flowing. Nobody has to make an agreement—it simply is the fact. This is the way of life. The way of the first heaven and the first earth is the way of dying and death.


“Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2020/09/i-am-come-in-name-of-lord.html] That is a key. “Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” This is the Word of the King as it has come down to us. It’s true. There is the requirement of this acknowledgment, which cannot ever happen without love. But it is this, when it’s actually done, that allows the Lord, the King, to be seen again because the spiritual substance, the clouds of heaven, are available for His coming. The clouds of heaven are the spiritual substance of His Body. All this hinges on that statement: Ye shall not see me henceforth, until ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. That’s not meant to indicate just some words spoken, but allowing the gift that has been provided by the King to fill one’s experience of love. Then there will be spiritual substance sufficient in this body to accommodate His coming. Behold, He comes “in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory”—the power of His love, because one has the experience of love. And the great glory relates to the revelation of spiritual expression in living that becomes undeniable—undeniable both to those who rejoice in it and to those who curse it. But we are charged with that responsibility of providing what is undeniable.
