With The LORD In His Sacred Garden

With  The  Lord  In  His  Sacred  Garden

Over the course of the last several weeks, I touched on the world of angels, Light Beings. I spoke of the covenant of angels, the oneness of angels, also the fusion, the passion and the resolve or will of angels. I spoke last about the passion and will of angels to return this world to the One who is the Master of it. In speaking of such topics as this, there is naturally a challenge in that the world of angels seems so far removed from the world of ordinary human experience. In a world that has been dramatically lowered in vibration, as is the case on this planet, speaking of realities much higher in vibration is naturally difficult. Last week when I was sharing what I sought to share, I experienced that challenge quite deeply, and found it not possible to convey all I wanted to. And the question is present: Why convey or seek to convey such things? For me too this involves an element of challenge in conveying. If so, why seek to convey?

In spite of the challenge, there is an inner compulsion that in some ways feels to me like a command from within to convey whatever CAN be conveyed. At some levels part of me doesn’t want to do it. Why is this inner command present? This inner command comes as: “You can’t leave this world until you do so.” There’s a resistance—perhaps it could be an excuse—that rises in consciousness too, that says the conditions to convey these things are so inadequate. But the command, compulsion, is: “Do it!” As for “Why this now?”—in retrospect, after feeling the compulsion or command—the thoughts come: Perhaps it’s because at whatever level it’s time for all these things to come out. It must be that it is the time when all that has been hidden must come into the open, both what is of truth that is divine, as well as truth of what is of pain in this world. Perhaps it is because it is the time when things must be concluded on earth.

So I will continue themes that were from the last several services and then go on further to what may be appropriate to convey this time. On the topic of the promise made in heaven between angels, there are times when this seems very romantic, especially when it’s connected to male/female, some awareness of timelessness of love. One part of the passion of angels, the love of angels, is resolve and will. The heart of angels is strong, of boldness, courage and daring. But as much as angels are strong, firm and courageous, they are also supremely tender and yielded towards the LORD, towards highest Love.

Today I want to speak about the One who is at the Center of the world of angels, Beings of Light, bodhisattvas. The Central Being, the One who is the Center of Being, we may call the LORD. Today I want to approach our understanding of the LORD at the feeling level, so we have greater comprehension of the LORD as He is known in the highest level of the vibration of our hearts.

To do this I want to start with a conversation I had with someone 30 years ago, DaeHwa Sunim. She is a Buddhist priestess who worked with YongTah Sunim in a program called Dong Sa Sup (Enlightened Heart Program) which is quite famous in Korea. DaeHwa, the priestess, was a remarkable person and Being. I had many conversations with her. We had deep appreciation for each other and were close. DaeHwa had an exceptional ability of perceiving vibration, like no one I had experienced before beyond the Emissary body. Even though YongTah is famous in Korea, he was dull compared to DaeHwa in the ability to perceive vibration, and he acknowledged so. DaeHwa asked me a question—very like her: “When you are being quiet naturally, perhaps in your prayer, where does your consciousness rest?” I thought a little bit and answered her this way: “My heart rests in that place of vibration towards which all tears of gratitude in the world naturally flow. Where all the tears of gratitude in this world flow, there my heart and mind find their natural resting place.” I can’t remember the rest of the conversation, but this stayed with me for 30 years. In this answer is contained a perspective that all the tears of gratitude shed in this world flow and move, vibrationally, naturally, towards one place. Like streams and rivers flowing to the ocean, the tears of gratitude flow to somewhere.

Of course, tears falling on the ground dry up within a minute or two. Obviously it’s not liquid tears I’m speaking about. But the tears as in the vibration of deepest gratitude flow somewhere. We too have had experience of tears of gratitude. In memory there are moments or scenes where we shed such tears of gratitude, but probably we remember most the person for whom we felt gratitude and shed the tears. Our tears of gratitude likely were for the spirit and heart or love that was expressed by that person. When we think about that person it’s not the person, as in the outer form of the person, for whom we are grateful and shed tears, but the spirit and the character, the love that was expressed by that person. And when we think about that love, that character, that spirit, where did it come from? It is very likely that person sometime also shed tears of gratitude for love and character expressed by someone, and likewise that one shed tears of gratitude going back to yet another person, going further and further back. So all the tears of gratitude shed in the world are connected vibrationally as one web, and ultimately linked to one center. All tears of gratitude flow towards Divine Love, the vibration of Divine Love.

Sometime in August a vision came to me that was about Divine Love. It left a deep, profound new understanding in me. This vision came right in the midst of handling great pressures, about which some of you know. It took place over about an hour and 40 minutes, and during much of it Marsha was sharing attunement with me. The vision came while I was in a prayer of slow breathing and calm surrender. A large part of this vision showed me the pain and agony still present in the subconscious of humanity. There were something like eight scenes in the sequence of this vision; thankfully, though it showed a lot of pain, the closing of the vision showed a world that is to be, and also God’s Love that has purified and overcome this pain or agony present in humanity.

I want to speak about the seventh scene in this vision. The whole of this vision came totally unexpected. The seventh scene was communing in silence in some room with the LORD, the One who incarnated in Jesus. Sharing such a vision that came, that cannot be verified objectively, why do so? The reason I felt it was important to share this was because of what I perceived vibrationally within that scene. The physical aspect of the scene is not that important, so hear it lightly. In the scene I was sitting near the LORD as He was sitting in something like a chair, and I on the floor. In the silence of the atmosphere and the communion, there was a new understanding of this world that came. In the atmosphere of His presence, there was so much that was felt and known that I want to put into words, things that I perceived in the atmosphere of His pneumaplasm, in the vibrational field emanating from His spirit and character.

The first thing I felt in His Presence was the scent, what might be described as a scent of holiness. It is sometimes said that we remember scents more clearly than many other things, that scents have a power of memory. The scent of holiness that I felt in Him, with Him, obviously was not a scent to be smelled with the nose, but it was a scent, a vibration, energy that the word “scent” comes closest to matching. The reason there aren’t words in human experience to describe these vibrational scents is because our capacity for perception is not sufficient in the state of humanity right now. A scent of holiness, of all things beautiful and holy. What I felt was the songs and fragrances of all that is beautiful in this world. In these songs I felt the murmurs of gratitude of so many hearts. Within His atmosphere was the rising perfume of gratitude of so many different scents, of so many hearts, nuances, colors and stories of gratitude. Centered in Him were all these songs and scents, perfumes of gratitude of countless lives blending into one.

I said the priestess DaeHwa had an extraordinary ability to perceive vibration. Such ability to perceive is an ability to see and perceive what actually is, and not one’s thought. So in this scene I am describing of silent communion with the LORD, I am seeking to share what is not thought but is perception. What I perceived also was that as He was surrounded by the songs of gratitude of countless Beings, He was Himself, in that sense unmoved. But besides being unmoved, what I felt was something happening inside of Him. As He received the gratitude, the tears of gratitude, the songs of holiness, of all these lives and hearts, all of it was brought into one in Him and lifted up in Him to higher vibrations and octaves of sounds and scents that cannot be described. So it is that I saw that these vibrations were gathered into one and lifted, and then disappeared to another dimension. In His Presence and in His Being, the joys and currents of gratitude and answering glory of this world were coming and being lifted to another dimension.

I want to speak about that other dimension. In the place where all the vibrations of gratitude, joy and answering glory of this world came to focus, in that place of focus, there were actually two currents that I could feel. One was the ascending current from this world, but the other was a descending current. I saw that in Him was focused the rising responsive current of this world but also the positive radiating current from another dimension. I saw also through this descending current, that He was a connection to the center of the sun. What I saw was that on earth through His presence the energy of the center of the sun was coming into this world directly. Energy of the sun, not just the physical sunlight that we experience, but higher levels of vibration of the sun. We know with physical light from the sun, human beings are able to perceive only a tiny spectrum of that range. But there are levels of sun vibration/energy that are not perceivable, not even by instruments, that come into this world through the channel that the LORD is providing.

I want to describe a little more of what I saw in the pneumaplasmic atmosphere of His Being. In His atmosphere could be felt and perceived millions of songs of the earth: songs of whales, songs of birds, songs of joy and galloping of animals, the perfume of flowers, the joy of trees and plants. Even the joy of minerals, which is formed of the urge within minerals towards a higher vibration. The songs of the pure of Being and heart of all levels of life on this planet, blended in one place. The place where the gratitude, joy and life glory of all life forms flow, towards that one place of Grace Divine. It’s only as we know the LORD in this way that we truly begin to know the LORD, not as an idea, not as some distant God, but as the source that receives all the gratitude and joy of this world.

Since I was in my 20s I had a longing for places that conveyed—at least in some small way—this highest vibration, and at times looked for and went to such places. Yesterday I posted a photograph of a beautiful garden in the Gardner Museum in Boston, a place where from time to time I went to commune with the LORD. In my 20s I found myself naturally looking for places that were sacred gardens where I could commune with the LORD. Perhaps the longing that had been present as I was growing up and becoming awake was because of longing to commune again with the LORD in His Garden. The Center of Love Divine, the character, atmosphere and spirit of the LORD. There is so much more that I could say and also the challenge: How can the vibration of the LORD be described in such a way as to be conveyable? But today at least this much from the compulsion of spirit within I share with you. Because of a knowing within that I cannot know these things and not convey them, I convey them at least in the best way I can. So it is that I love my LORD because of who He is and what He is.

That which is the most beautiful place in the world, the Garden of the LORD, the place of being with the LORD in this way is the Holy of Holies. In the Holy of Holies in ancient times there was present the Ark of the Covenant. What I saw also was the body of the LORD, the heart of the LORD, was and is the Ark of the Covenant, within which the two currents meet and blend and nourish this world.

Uranda in some of his writings conveyed where the gratitude of this world goes in the sun and described something of what happens as that gratitude comes into the sun. Sometime I want to share that. Uranda said the center of the sun is not hot. He spoke of the center of the sun being totally cool and of a frequency and vibration unknowable to human beings, and that in that place there is a City of Light, not a city as we think of cities, but a city formed of substance and vibration of a much higher dimension. There are many other things that Uranda conveyed that have not yet been conveyed further. There was a time in the past when I felt deep sadness that there was so much that was shared—treasures and secrets of Being—that perhaps would not be conveyed further in this world. But perhaps at least a little bit of them can be conveyed still.

The Covenant and Fusion of Angels

The  Covenant  and  Fusion  of  Angels

Yujin Pak  October 31, 2021   Seoul, South Korea

Two days ago we had a Servers Gathering by Zoom. There were nineteen of us, including a few who couldn’t participate in the Zoom call because they had other important responsibilities. Sometime last winter we had planned to have something of a first Servers Congress and for a variety of reasons we were unable to have that. This Servers Gathering is, in a way, a beginning towards that. We have spoken about beginning a new cycle here in Korea. This Servers Gathering, leading toward a Servers Congress, is one part of this new cycle.

A second part of this new cycle here in Korea is the beginning of training beyond our LTW (Living the Word) class to pass on the core teachings of the Emissaries. We called LTW a “class,” and it was the highest level we offered until now in Korea. But it was really only the bare beginning of deeper training. In some ways it’s unfortunate it took us so long to begin more advanced training, but it’s good we are beginning now.

The third aspect of the new cycle for us here is the deepened and heightened tone of the Sunday services. Probably all of you felt something of that in the past several services. This is a time I have wished for and waited for, for a long time. My longing had been to be able to more deeply and fully be myself in and through the services and speak from my deepest core, unfiltered, but in many ways I have thought that needs to wait. Well, it clearly is no longer time to wait.

The fourth element for the new cycle in Korea is the delegation of a range of our seminars to those of you who are ready to take them on and offer them. Some of you may think, “Oh, I’m not quite ready or trained enough for that yet.” There was a time when I thought the same thing about myself. I looked around for others who could do this better, but I couldn’t find them. And inescapably it dawned on me: “I need to do this.” Thus, the true learning began for me. In society, there is a saying that you have to teach to truly learn or know. It’s true!

Even for Martin there was such a moment. In 1954, Uranda suddenly left this sphere of things through an airplane accident. Suddenly Martin was alone in the position of primary leadership. He had been prepared a lot, but there were aspects of his relying on Uranda. Then suddenly it was all on him. Very likely there were some walks that Martin took after he heard the news and realized the situation, long walks in which he absorbed the fact that the responsibility was in his hands. Thankfully, Martin fully accepted the responsibility that was now on his shoulders. Likely he asked himself the question, “Am I truly prepared for this?” Likely he felt elements of inadequacy also. Feeling a sense of inadequacy at the beginning of awakening to a larger responsibility is natural. It’s okay. We just need to accept and take a step at a time in that responsibility, and we find that the provision to carry it out comes. The fact that such resources, wisdom and guidance comes is amazing in some ways, but it happens. In history there are many who reached such a point and had this exact experience.

These four things mark our new cycle in Korea: 1) Servers Gatherings leading towards forming a Servers Congress, 2) deeper Servers Training, 3) Sunday services of a deeper tone and vibration, and 4) delegating to some of you the seminars and other ways of offering education to others.

I have also been thinking about the name we have used: “Art of Living School.” We have said of our educational program in the Art of Living School that the first two levels focused on personal awakening, healing and transformation. The last two levels were learning leadership to assist others in awakening. But among those who have gone through the four levels, there were probably ones who were still largely focused on personal awakening. Now it’s likely our program could be called—though we may not do so formally—“Awake Servers Leadership School.” Leadership School. If individuals just want to improve their lives, then our program is not for them. Many other programs primarily focus on doing that and they will serve well for them. Our program will focus principally on those who seek to awaken enough to offer leadership in a world undergoing rapid change, that needs such leadership. This world going through accelerating change will need such leadership.

Last week I spoke of Melchizedek’s blessing and said that was vibrational leadership, the height of the example of such leadership. Vibrational leadership is leadership that is not so visible outwardly to people but provides a decisive and transforming influence into the world. In Won Buddhism one part of their teaching speaks about “invisible action,” that invisible action is taken first, and over time it comes into form. Vibrational leadership is action at an invisible level. At times people think that what is invisible doesn’t have much value. Sometimes people say, “Show me the money.” By the way, they say the same thing in Korean. They just say, “Show me the money.” What that means is, “Show me the form.” But that shows a relatively complete lack of understanding of the energy and vibration which precedes form.

In regard to this, I want to speak for a moment about material consciousness and spiritual consciousness, which is very similar to Cain consciousness and Abel consciousness, referred to in the Bible. Spiritual consciousness is a channel for God’s / Heaven’s wisdom and design to come into the earth. There is no need to reject material consciousness. Material consciousness can simply be under the control and guidance of spiritual consciousness. Within us individually both aspects are present: material and spiritual consciousness. When spiritual consciousness is the master, things work out. But we have known what it is like when material consciousness has controlled in us and what the results of that were. Likely we got to a point where we understood that letting material consciousness control was not the way because it was bringing havoc in our life, and we began to look for another way.

Often those with material consciousness predominant are quite arrogant, including arrogant toward those of spiritual consciousness. Material consciousness in its arrogance says, “Show me the achievement, something more flashy!” But we see in the world the result of that arrogance in plain sight. Part of the results is showing up in what is being called “the Great Resignation,” which is a mass wave of people around the world resigning from the work they were involved in. “I can’t do it this way anymore. I won’t do it this way anymore.” Some are calling this “the Great Strike.” It is unorganized but it is taking place—a rejection of what hasn’t been working. In the days ahead I think we will see the increase of problems that are not solvable by human effort, and more people will begin to recognize there is another level of wisdom called for than the human intellect.

The central topic I wanted to touch is still ahead and much time has passed, but we’ll at least enter into this topic. In our Deepening seminars we have spoken of the covenant made in heaven by angels before coming into the earth: a promise made in heaven by angels, by Light Beings. For entirely complete and whole Beings of Light, incarnating into this world means losing almost all of that memory. The reason for that is because humanity is still in such a deep state of fear and trauma, a shocked state, so higher levels of memory and awareness are largely absent. Because of that large loss of memory, what I will speak about next, likely you largely won’t remember.

What you once knew, and most likely don’t remember now, is the Congress of Angels, Light Beings. This that I speak of as the Congress of Light Beings was the most important thing that was present in the experience of angels, Light Beings, before our incarnation. Before touching more on the topic of the Congress of Light Beings, I want to talk briefly about the composition and function of Light Beings. First, Divine Beings, Light Beings, angels, bodhisattvas, before incarnation were one body. They were one body, one heart, one consciousness. While they were one, they were supremely unique in their distinction, color, vibration, and were of great stature. They were also focalized. That they were focalized means that, though they were one, there was within that oneness a central point of focalization that was of the highest vibration, the deepest vibration, towards which they were aligned. While they were supremely unique and great Beings individually, they also participated in powerful currents of response. The response of such Beings had the purpose of creation. They participated in creation through response. They did not only respond, they also radiated as well. And there was a pulsation, oscillating between response and radiation.

As I speak about these realities at a higher, less visible level, it’s okay for you to just hear this lightly. Don’t make a theology out of it. The Congress of Angels took place in what might be called the Central Shrine of the Light Beings. Sometime this month my friends, David Barnes and Anne Blaney, gave a service that was titled “The Central Shrine of the Whole.” [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-central-shrine-of-whole.html] David didn’t speak about some of the detail that I’m speaking of, although he spoke of other details. From what he said, I felt inspiration to share a little more from my own experience and understanding.

Angels, Beings of Light, from time to time gathered in the Central Shrine of Light. As these Light Beings gathered in the Central Shrine, the angels individually entered into the highest vibration in them, their highest fire, highest passion, their highest love, as they came together. As they gathered, the vibration of their togetherness pulsated into higher and higher octaves of light, pulsating as the time deepened in their oneness. As they came together and the octave of their vibration oscillated and pulsated in greater intensity, there were vibrations of higher levels of octaves—that normally would not emerge—which emerged.

As the pulsating, oscillating intensity of their love came together, the Shrine was transformed. The Central Shrine glowed with pulsating light and transformed, as though increasingly transparent. In the center of this oscillating, pulsating intensification of the light was one Central Being in whom this process was focalized. And in that process the reality of the deeper and higher frequencies of that Being came forth within the Central Shrine. This event of the intensifying, pulsating, contracting, expanding light reaching higher and higher was like a controlled explosion of light. These controlled explosions of light, in fact under perfect control, had a purpose; and the purpose was achievement of specific creation.

In recent years for the first time—probably only in the last decade or so—with the Hubble telescope human beings have been able to see the explosions of light in the sun. In some ways they look like explosions of such a magnitude, reaching so far out from the sun, that the scene looks scary. Perhaps we can see the sun emitting these solar flares as a demonstration. Perhaps it has also some association with the reality of what we are speaking about of the controlled explosion of light in the coming together of angels in the Central Shrine of Light. But there wasn’t just the Central Shrine alone. There were many connected Shrines that pulsated together—connected to the Central Shrine—and participated in the fusion reaction together.

For human beings in the state of shock on this planet, this is a reality that is entirely lost. But in a time when humanity was in a state very different than the current one—when the trauma was not present, when consciousness and vibration were so much higher—human beings, as angels incarnate on earth, participated in the pulsations of contraction and expansion of light in the Central Shrine in form on earth, and in many other shrines in many places. They participated in one event in this way. One day I believe this will return. That return will obviously be after so much of what is present of human construction on this planet is in fact dissolved. But until that time there is work that we need to do on earth now.

What we need to do on earth is in a small way, in essence, to bring about among us the essences of the generating chamber of light. The generating chamber of light is, first, the shared consciousness of those who are increasingly awakening and aware of attunement with higher vibration. As humanity enters a time of greater turbulence, the presence of such generating patterns of light will provide a magnetic field, a vibrational magnetic field of consciousness, guidance, influence and direction within that increasing turbulence.

I want to show you this picture. In it you can see a person in the ruins of a house, and there’s a shining globe inside the house with which he looks like he’s sharing an attunement. It’s a picture of perhaps a world experiencing increasing ruin in which there are those present who are sharing an attunement, invisible to others but providing lines of force for guidance and encouragement in such a time.

The work we need to do now is the agreement of conscious angels—the passion, commitment and agreement of angels—who agree to provide such lines of force of light and guidance even as the world enters more deeply into turbulence, and provide such as a safe crossing to the world that must come beyond that. For me personally, I am present to assist in the deepening of that commitment, agreement, and manifestation among those who are ready to awaken. There are others who are doing this in various places and they together, and we together, provide this.

Those who fully awaken to who they are on earth remember the passionate will and commitment in their heart. This is a passion and a will of angels that David Barnes in a service a few weeks ago expressed at the end of the service in just a few words. That passion and will is that one day there will be a moment when we the angels—conscious, present on earth—will be able to say to the One whose home this planet is, to the One who is in the center of the Central Shrine: “Lord, your home is prepared. Welcome back to your home.” So that one day, there will be a home on earth—that is not only safe for Him, but is fully His home—for that purpose we, the angels, have come on earth again and again. Let us prepare that home. For the highest vibration and spirit that focalizes this world, let us prepare His home again.

Inclusiveness

Inclusiveness

Martin Exeter   October 20, 1985

The way of salvation remains just words until there is the exemplification of the fact of it. That obviously requires people. Collectively it could be said by those who are here present this evening, "We are the ones to provide that." To bring it a little more to point each one may say, "I am the one to provide that. I am the one who maintains in an absolute sense a totally inclusive attitude toward all people everywhere." This is something that may be easily said. There may be some imagination, even, that one has assumed such an attitude. But the area of proof relates to those with whom one is in immediate association. How inclusive, actually, is the attitude with respect to these?

There is an inclination, from the human standpoint, to exclude people: "Here is a person whom I deem to be untrustworthy. Behavior by this person has revealed this to be the fact to me. Therefore I will exclude this person from my encompassment of the whole." Here is a state of affairs put into words that happens without the necessity of putting it into words. How inclusive, really, are we of each other?—those with whom we are associated closely. I'm not talking about some grandiose idea that we have of including "all of mankind in my encompassment." That doesn't mean anything unless what is close at hand proves the fact—one's attitude to those who are in the immediate vicinity. It is with respect to these that judgment puts in an appearance and an attitude of exclusion occurs.

There is a whole, but we ourselves are the ones who are beginning to know this, a whole which is cohesive, which is already present invisibly but which now is in the process of taking form. This wholeness includes all of mankind. No one is rightly excluded. I suppose it could be said that if there are those who have committed what has been called the unpardonable sin, then one might exclude those, because there is no possibility for such people to include themselves; the basis for such inclusion is gone. And this is true, no doubt, of certain people, but it would take a very mature spiritual person to be in position to discern where this had actually occurred. It's a lot safer to assume that it hasn't occurred. So our attitude rightly is that all are included.

This has been very necessary from the standpoint of my own approach over the years. I am just as capable of perceiving the quality and character of the behavior of people as you are. It is conceivable that my perception might be a little more accurate. Be that as it may, obviously, if this spiritual body was to take form on earth, it was necessary that I constantly maintained an attitude of inclusiveness. No one's behavior could be allowed to dictate to me that I should exclude anyone. There are those who reach a point sometimes of frustration with somebody or other: "I give up on this person. I don't want to have anything more to do with him!" That's a human trait, isn't it, that occurs in people; it may have even occurred in oneself. Clearly, then, here is an attitude of exclusion.

We may recognize that people will let themselves be included or not, as the case may be, but from our own personal standpoint everybody is included, rightly. I have that attitude, even though over the years there have been those who would not permit themselves to be included. We might recall something of the Master's attitude long ago with respect to those who were called disciples, and others as well, everybody in fact, but it was exemplified by those who came closest to Him. The nature of His attitude was there exemplified and it was an inclusive attitude. He didn't exclude Judas, for instance. He didn't even exclude him at the moment when he was about to undertake the betrayal, as it has been called: "Okay, go ahead." He didn't exclude Peter because of an anticipated denial—which became fact—or any of the rest of the disciples who were waffling around. There was only one who stayed put, the disciple John, the only one who was present at the time of the crucifixion, apart from some of the women of course. He received his commission there in a direct sense: to occupy the place which was now being vacated by the Master Himself, placing John in the position of His relationship to His mother. There weren't many on hand who were aware of what had been done then and, in any case, the fact was not acceptable apparently to the rest of the disciples. It seemed more in line with the human view of things to follow Peter. But the Master's attitude was one of inclusion.

Over the years I have had the opportunity to be tested, I suppose, repeatedly on this point, because there certainly have been those who denied and betrayed, but my attitude could not change merely because of that. Inclusiveness—each one who participates in giving form to this spiritual body carries this spirit. And the attitude of including others, particularly those who are nearby, is a basic evidence of participating in this spiritual body. This is the attitude of the One whose body it is. Necessarily it has had to be my attitude if I was to represent that One. But then we are all in the same boat, actually, because we represent that One, so that all mankind is included. The Master Himself has not been on hand personally to do this, but we are. So presumably if there is anything to us we do it.

So there is this attitude, which includes even those who bug us. The fact that you can be bugged, if you can, is an indication of the lingering presence of the human ego. It is the human ego that gets bugged. The spirit simply includes all. We have a particular opportunity in this regard: to provide a focus of that spirit, a unified focus of that spirit of inclusiveness. And the only way we can experience that spirit is in our moment-by-moment living with those who are present with us. As I say, we may have some grandiose ideas about including all of mankind, but they don't mean a thing if the opportunity which is present with us is not accepted. We need not be stupid—we may be aware of some of the lingering traits of human nature that are present in our fellows. I certainly have been. But that hasn't made any difference to what is required insofar as the attitude of inclusion is concerned. In order for this body to begin to take form at all, trust had to be given to different people, and quite frequently the trust was betrayed, less so in these more recent days but repeatedly in times past; and it happens even now.

The attitude of inclusion is the attitude of love, isn't it? You can't have this attitude of inclusion without love; you'll find that it's impossible. But all those who are moving toward the state of absoluteness are doing so because there has been an attitude of inclusion on my part, simply because I was responsible for providing a focus for what is to happen. And I would say, having had experience of myself, that if I can do it, anybody can do it. It's very convenient sometimes to place someone in a position of supposed leadership on a pedestal and say, "Well it's all right; he can do it, but I can't." That is looked upon sometimes as humility. It isn't.

In order to assume an attitude of inclusion it is necessary to mature, to grow up, to stop being childish anymore. I don't know anyone that I have had the opportunity of meeting, including myself, who was not childish to start with. Of course I am not speaking of years here, age in the physical sense. We all came through the period of childhood somehow to get here, but most retain the state of childishness into what is looked upon as adulthood. So there always is the necessity of maturing. Presumably one of my responsibilities was to see that I did it—I let it happen in me. Here was the first person to take care of. And that gave me a certain amount of experience in handling all the rest! But it's true of each one. We have to be willing to grow up, to come out of the state of childishness, which is inevitably there as long as the human ego condition exists.

Maturity is inclusive of spirit. The only way by which anyone can mature is on the basis of spirit, which is mature; and in the expression of that, maturity comes; otherwise a person just remains childish. And we see the world fraught with childishness everywhere: people out of control everywhere, people following each other around like a pack of lemmings, if that's the right term—some going this way, some going that way, some supporting this, some decrying that, everybody going along with it, swept hither and yon, no stability. Well, we know that there is a necessity for some stability somewhere if anything of the body of mankind is to survive. So we have been concerned about growing up. But everybody does it, or doesn't do it, as the case may be. No individual is unique in this regard; all are under the same necessity. The world is a very dangerous place because of the children of all ages.

So we have been growing up some. The evidence of this comes very particularly in the extent of our inclusiveness. This evening all who are sitting here, from my standpoint, I include in what it is that is happening, the creative process that is unfolding. I don't look at any of you and say, "I don't think you'll make it." As far as I am concerned you are all free to make it. How is your attitude toward everybody else? Here is an indication of the extent of maturity. Sometimes you may find yourself getting a little impatient with somebody: "They do the same thing over and over and over again!" Well I've been aware of a little something rising up in my own experience in this regard with respect to various ones who seem to be rather repetitive in this way. One observes such things. Patience, as I recall, is the first step into the Temple of Light. So you can't be impatient. That feeling of impatience may rise up: "Oh, that doesn't belong to me." Because the feeling rises up, you don't have to be that way.

So we learn, we mature in this fashion, because we take responsibility for these things and we have in consciousness always this attitude which includes everybody. If someone needs to grow up, as most everybody does, then we give them a chance. How long shall we give them a chance? I could say, with respect to some at least, "I've been patient for twenty, thirty years. That's enough! If they haven't grown up by now they never will!" Well maybe so, I don't know. But I'm not going to be the one to "lay it on" anyone. Are you? We are free when we let others be free. That's another thing you can't get—freedom. You give it. When you give it you're free. What is being given here is the opportunity for everyone to mature, and the ones whom we are in position to offer this opportunity to most effectively are those who are closest to us. If we have an attitude of inclusion toward these, that attitude will spill over into that great big world out there and we include all. But if we don't do it here we don't do it there.

The matter of forgiveness came up at the time of the Master. How often shall I forgive? Seven times? The answer was "seventy times seven." Well I don't think you're going to count it up to 490: "Now I'm free not to forgive." The indication was that it's open-ended. We are not responsible for binding people; we do have the opportunity to free them. We enfold, we encompass, we include. We are well aware that there are those who may refuse to be included; that's their business; but the refusal is not rightly consequent upon anything that we do. And gradually, on the basis of this factual love, the cohesiveness begins to put in an appearance in form and there is mutual trust. As I say, we are not foolish. We can discern; at least if we grow up we can discern. Children don't discern very much in a mature way; they can't. But all are included in this body which is taking form. They may move around in it according to the level of their trustworthiness but they are never excluded. "Well I've given you opportunity to be trustworthy for ten years, and you still keep betraying me"—that sounds like a rather judgmental view anyway—"therefore I am going to exclude you." No, everybody is included. They may not have proven trustworthiness in this area, but let them prove it in some other area then. So the body can form, and we love one another.

It is a most joyful thing to maintain this consistent inclusiveness, and then one day this person and that person suddenly give evidence of being freed up. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2021/11/loosed-on-earth-loosed-in.html] It's happening! I rejoice in it. How long are you going to wait for that? In some respects I waited decades. Let people be free, and those who are willing will come on through. For many we can say, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." But for us, I think we really know what we do, so you can't forgive people quite on that basis. But there is an open door of inclusiveness anyway. All have the opportunity of coming on through, and there are those who reveal that they are doing just that.

So there is on earth something stable and trustworthy. Even though there may be points of betrayal or denial here or there still putting in an appearance, I don't think it is going to jeopardize what is really happening; it's got beyond that point. There were some pretty hairy occasions in the past, and momentarily it seemed as though everything was put in jeopardy. There were those who put themselves in jeopardy, and others also, and me on occasion. But it's worked thus far. Let's let it work the way it works because we have an attitude which includes everybody, and out of that everybody those who need to come will come. But if we have a hand up stopping that person here and the other person over there, well it stops a lot more than just that person here and that person there. Include everybody!

There are those who have tried to make what we are doing seem to be exclusive. It was merely a reflection of their own judgment, of their own state—a state of unwillingness to be included. Of course fear enters in here. But there is no reason for fear insofar as we are concerned. We know what's what and we can include everybody, receive everybody who is willing to be received. I suppose you could say there's the catch for everybody, because not everybody is willing to be received. Well that's their business, but at least they have the opportunity when we are inclusive of everybody. And "everybody," insofar as we are concerned, are those people who are right next to us. If we do it there, it's done everywhere. So we rejoice to participate in the forming of a cohesive body that is absolutely stable, absolutely sure, free to stand in the midst of the human state unmoved and unscathed. Let it happen!

Conscious Leadership—Melchizedek

 Conscious  Leadership — Melchizedek

Yujin Pak  October 24, 2021  Seoul, South Korea

Today we have several young adults here, and I am particularly glad for your presence. As I mentioned previously, our program here in Korea is beginning a new cycle, and I am offering four services for four Sundays in a row. This is our second one. One essential quality of this new cycle is this: Up to now the Art of Living School has offered a great deal of nurturing and care, and through that a great deal of growth has happened in people, transformation, awakening, and healing. In essence, the time of principally providing a lot of nurturing and care is completed, and there’s another phase we’re moving into now.

The purpose of nurturing and care, or being ministered unto, is to reach a point where we can provide ministering for others, provide care and nurturing for others. Our focus more overtly will be on assisting people to be those who care for others and minister unto others. The purpose of receiving serving is to be a server. Because in our program we did a lot of what we call Time Travel, sometimes people have erroneously thought that our program is for those who need healing. Healing in this way is a very secondary goal or purpose, but at times people have confused that secondary purpose as being the primary. Perhaps we will do less such Time Travel processes in the days ahead.

So for whom is the Art of Living School, if not for those who are wounded, needing healing and care? The Art of Living School exists for those who desire and seek to provide leadership for the world. The purpose of the Art of Living School is not individual happiness, achievement or healing. Those may happen as a by-product, incidentally, but they are not the main purpose of the Art of Living School. The Art of Living School’s purpose is the emergence of Being within each individual. The emergence of Being individually first and then collectively--this is the purpose of the Art of Living School. So I want to make the purpose of our program crystal clear as we begin this new phase.

If the purpose is not individual happiness, individual achievement and healing, it’s possible there are some who may realize, “Oh, this is not for me then,” and also others who may not be attracted if it’s not for this. But it doesn’t mean that there is no caring, no nurturing, no “ministering unto” within our program. For each person in the process of awakening there is a period of time in which there is a need to be ministered unto, in order to learn to minister. But it is essential that the time of primarily receiving ministering not be too long.

Many years ago Martin asked this question of those who were with him. In a way I ask the same question today here in Korea of those who are moving with us. He asked the question, “Must I minister unto you, or will you stand with me and minister unto the world?” As I said, there’s a time in which to be ministered unto and to learn ministering, and that’s important. But what is emphasized is that we stand together increasingly and minister unto the world together. Jesus spoke these words, “The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister.” Buddha took a similar attitude. He did not want his students and disciples to remain students and disciples forever, but to awaken sufficiently to do the work with him of awakening others.

That we reach a point where we stand on our own feet and no longer need ministering, but provide ministering, does not mean that now we will scatter all over the place and do our own thing, including our own ministering. The meaning is: When we have come to stand TO minister truly on our own two feet as leaders in our own right, then is there something truly for us to do together. Until then what could happen, as we truly stood as ministers, could not happen. When such individuals, no longer needing to be ministered unto, stand up together, then a larger work is possible. Jesus referred to this in these words: “Greater works than these shall he do.” When the disciples of Jesus were merely students following him, it was only he, Jesus, who was doing the works. But when those individuals, disciples, would stand as rightful leaders--awakened, mature, on their own, as servers--then greater works would be possible.

Today here in the room we have several truly bright young leaders. Looking at you, I think of me 40 years ago. I was 26 in 1981 and did a two-month class. This was a time when I completed my education and came to a place of accepting responsibility. What occurred for me in that two-month class was the ending of my spiritual education. In the course of that class a transformation occurred in my consciousness where I accepted fully the responsibility, the commission, to be a server, a minister, for this world. That class was a time in which the resolve settled inside of me to stand with Martin, and with others also who had come into this world to provide the Leadership of Light.

I came also to have a deep new vision: a vision of a conscious body comprised of conscious individuals or Beings. What I came to understand was that throughout history there has always been such a body of conscious Beings present on earth, sometimes very few in number, sometimes more, but that they contributed continually to the lifting and evolution of human consciousness. At age 26, I became aware that, without doubt, most of the creative changes in human history emerged from the presence of these individuals. Because of the presence of these individuals and the vibrational ministering they provided—leadership they provided—human consciousness did not descend, but little by little rose over time. As I came to understand how important such vibrational leadership--though largely invisible—was and is currently to humanity, in comparison nothing else was more important.

Regarding such vibrational and somewhat invisible leadership, I want to touch on one figure in history and through that, speak a little more about the nature of this function of leadership. This figure is recorded in the Bible, perhaps one of the most mysterious figures that appear in the Bible: Melchizedek, who is spoken of as “righteous king of Salem.” The significance of this in history is that he is the one who blessed Abraham, whom I have described before as the father of three of the main religions in the world today: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In their encounter recorded in the Bible, Melchizedek blesses Abraham and Abraham offers gifts to Melchizedek, one tenth of his belongings. In the record about Melchizedek it is said that Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, is a man “without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually,” or eternally. “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life,” a priest forever.  People reading this at times have thought perhaps he was a godlike being. But the meaning and significance of Melchizedek, with these attributes described, is as a symbol for each one of us. “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God,” or daughter of God. This is a description of who WE are.

But of course we can say, “But I do have a father and a mother and a birthday, and obviously likely I will have an end somewhere.” But the point is: Is that who we are? What is our identity and status? Several days ago I had occasion to mentor someone to whom I said, “Regarding your status and identity, you do not belong to your father, your mother, your ancestry, as you have thought.”  Like Melchizedek, our ancestry and descent is not of our earthly history. We too did not have a beginning, nor do we have an end. Made like unto the son and daughter of God, we abide as a part of the priesthood eternally. When we become truly conscious of our identity, we come to know this to be the truth. We are priests eternally. Uranda said something to that effect.

The story of Melchizedek took place 3,500 years ago. There has been debate as to whether this is a mythical figure or a historical figure. But over time because of the extent of the specificity of the detail of the events, more have construed this is a historical event and a historical figure. Several weeks ago I gave a service in which I spoke about another figure--this time in Korean ancient history—HwanOong, who presumably was the origination of the Korean people, something in the range of 4,200 years ago. HwanOong presumably came into the earth 4,200 years ago, as the story goes, on top of a high mountain and opened a new cycle, which Koreans see as the beginning of the Korean nation. My guess is that quite possibly this is a combination of myth as well as some historical base, the specific nature of which is hard now to discern. In drawing some parallels between HwanOong and Melchizedek, both were individuals who brought something of the eternal, the divine, into this world and opened a new cycle. In the story of Melchizedek, what is described as a single act of blessing Abraham is what opened a new cycle for humanity.

Melchizedek blessed Abraham. What is contained in this one act of blessing? The fact of this one act recorded in that way indicates this blessing offered by Melchizedek to Abraham was no ordinary blessing. It was vibrationally the initiation of something very large. This blessing offered to Abraham is a symbol of the vibrational ministry, blessing and leadership offered by what I described as the conscious body of awake individuals on earth throughout its history. Melchizedek is not a figure that has become very outwardly known, and yet he brought that blessing and leadership. So Melchizedek’s blessing is a symbol of the vibrational leadership offered by what is, to a large extent, an invisible core of individuals on earth.

The Art of Living School, the Emissaries—all these are just outer forms. What we are touching through the form of the Art of Living School or Emissaries, or whatever other outer form, is the reality of vibrational leadership that brings influence and transformation in the world. In the Art of Living School here in Korea in the past three months we went through a very large cycle with various events. What was important in the cycle, beyond what was visible outwardly in form, was the vibrational leadership or blessing offered through the events.

Another way to describe a conscious body of Beings is “conscious priests or priestesses.” Historically the words priest / priesthood have been polluted quite a bit. Largely the words priest or priesthood are correlated with religion. Religious priesthood is something entirely different from vibrational priesthood. What we are speaking of here is not religious priesthood, but the reality of those who actually provide the function of vibrational priesthood. My purpose personally is to assist in the awakening and coming into place of such individuals, to provide that vibrational priesthood function.

Recently I have heard some people say, “Yujin, what you have been speaking in services recently is very high and a little difficult.” While I have heard such comments, what has become clear to me is that I must not filter too much what I need to truly convey. There is also an awareness in me that there’s not time to filter too much, and I need to say it straight out for those who can understand. When I was 26 and came to vision and clarity, it was about this: The function of the priesthood of Light in history and today.

One of the functions of such an awakened body of individuals is the provision of a collective Holy Place for the world. A few months ago we touched on the theme of personal sanctuary, the individual Holy Place in us, and the importance of it. I think all of you know quite clearly how important the personal holy space, sacred space, is for you. All of you have had the experience that it is only as there is the personal sacred space, Holy Place, can the “Being that I am” have a place in which to breathe and be at home. The Holy Place in us individually is the home of the Being that we are. Without the Holy Place, the Being that we are has no home. But beyond the individual Holy Place, there is a Holy Place for the entire world that is needed also, vibrationally. The collective Holy Place is the presence principally of a collective of conscious individuals in oneness. That provides the vibrational Holy Place for the world. It can sometimes have a physical reflection in form on earth or in a number of places, but firstly it’s the vibrational presence. For example, our home here in Seoul is a sample of a collective Holy Place for a range of people. If this home was not present, some would feel something was absent. The union or oneness of conscious servers that together provide a Holy Place for the world. Such collectives are probably present in groups of varieties of size throughout the world, providing that holy space in truly transparent ways, or not so transparent ways but in their own ways, and all of that is important.

Remember: We are “without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning… nor end.” If any of you have some regret about your ancestry or descendancy, let it go. That’s not where your identity is. We are ultimately timeless Beings present here on earth to provide the vibrational reality and blessing from the Beings we truly are. Having awakened to this 40 years ago in 1981, I convey this on to you. Bright young adult leaders that you are, it’s your turn now. And those of you sharing together through Zoom and YouTube, the same applies to the eternal youth that you are. Let us offer the vibrational blessing from Heaven into the earth.

I think of the moment when Melchizedek and Abraham met. What is it that occurred as Melchizedek offered the blessing to Abraham? Melchizedek invited Abraham into a place where time had disappeared. In that moment through Melchizedek, Abraham met all that was beyond time. Speaking of it differently, it was a meeting with the Cosmos and with God. Melchizedek provided the channel for that encounter, the connection to the Eternal. Today in this moment, we are connected into that same place where time has disappeared, because time has disappeared. Being is just one, beyond time, beyond space. Such individuals who provided that link were present before Melchizedek also. By what name they were called, we won’t go into that today, but there were those who provided that link, even before Abraham. So we continue that lineage of timeless, eternal priesthood. The Priesthood of Light is present outside of time and enters into time, throughout time, as needed. Today we are together present to provide that entry point again. What I speak of is of a very high nature and perhaps not easy to understand, but it’s not important to understand it intellectually. Allow something to be seeded at the feeling level and that’s enough. Have a wonderful timeless day today!
