Robert Merriman — O Gracious LORD and KING, our hearts swell with joy for the gathering of the elect in this precious hour of celebration and worship. Having been privileged to experience the fruits of 90 years of the Presence, the physical presence of the provision of spiritual focus on planet earth, we come soberly to do our part today, to let Thy Influence expand through our loving agreement with Thee, all to the end that Thy Kingdom be in form upon the earth. Aumen.
Arno Van Haght — This morning, this afternoon and this evening: All is One—one moment of sharing and devotion, as we come to rest before the LORD and in His Holy Temple, because we are here.
As I Am, I would greet you as Beloved Fellow Ministers in the Temple of Light:“Joyously I salute you in the Temple of Light, which is Heaven on earth, even the Temple of the Lord of the Three Planes Who stands before the LORD of Lords as the High Priest of the whole earth. This Reality of Being is likewise revealed within each one of you; for your Heaven within you is your Temple of Light wherein your Spiritual Consciousness is the Priest of your Temple before your Lord Who is your Father within you. Your Master within your Body-Temple now draws you into an understanding of the Service of Sanctification and Dedication of the Vessels and Appointments of the Temple through the Offerings which are ordained in and to the Temple Service. When the Vessels of Service in the Temple have been cleansed in the Water of Truth and Sanctified in the Fire of Love we are ready to be used in the Temple Service as Vessels for the Offerings unto our Lord; that such Offerings as are received of the Lord of the Temple may be, in turn, offered up by Him in the world Temple of Light to the LORD of the Sacred Seven, even the LORD OUR GOD.” [from “Letters To You” Uranda, 1937]
This morning, this afternoon, this evening, I have the privilege of presenting you before my LORD and KING, as my fellow servants, priests, priestesses, angels—together we are His. The one I Am, has waited a long time for such a moment. But you have come. You have come.
We, as one unified body, might surely declare these words of holiness before our KING, as many of us have done before. But in this new moment, and in preparing our hearts before the LORD for that which will be provided by Him through his servant, Robert Merriman, I would ask Mia to share these words which we know so well, after which Robert will continue to provide the Word.
Mia Euvrard — Thank you. It is a great privilege to bring this on behalf of all of those who are gathered here, and the untold and unknown multitudes that are connected through us, and therefore also here.
HOLINESS TO THE LORD,
come gather in His Name
Whose altar is the Word, His Word a living flame;
In holiness we sing, to Him bright honour bring.
HOLINESS TO THE LORD,
almighty King of Kings,
True Sun of righteousness unfurls His healing wings
Transforming sacred night with clear angelic light.
HOLINESS TO THE LORD,
fulfilled His Word returns;
Heaven and earth are One within the fire that burns;
Abiding in all peace, His perfect Love increase.
HOLINESS TO THE LORD,
let all creation sing;
Our Lord He is the God, the One who dwells is King;
HOLINESS TO THE LORD, made flesh the living Word.

Robert Merriman — “Made flesh the Living Word.” Thank you, Arno and Mia. Thank you, those who have come to offer “Thy Blessing”.
As we have begun our morning, our evening, our time, I'm keenly aware the language that we have been using thus far is not common parlance on the planet. It would be possible to hear these utterances, and assume they are religious in nature. But those who have experienced the living reality of the vibrational currents, and the form-shaping energetic-fields that move from living in the Kingdom, and it's culture, and it's language—those who have experienced it know that it is beyond belief. In fact, it provides the activation and the coordination of spiritual substance in all things! This is our inheritance. This the world has waited for, for so many years, that angels incarnate might walk again upon the planet and properly prepare a place for the living enjoyment and the creative action of their KING, the LORD of Love.
And this experience for which mankind, and the animals, and the rocks, and the vegetation, and all things on this planet, have waited—it's had a birthday, which we have been celebrating. I'm aware of various gatherings, and High Holy markings that have been made this week in the hearts and minds of people who understand the significance of this celebration. This is experienced by some as a living vibration of thankfulness ascending before the Throne. What joy! A balanced joy, a sober joy, but what a joy! The words I'm about to speak could potentially evoke sentimentality in a doting way, but that's not what they're intended for. They're intended for radiant celebration of the victory that has occurred, with humble beginnings in tough times.
Lloyd Arthur Meeker, having moved from Kansas to Tennessee, initially with the intention of assisting his sister in need, arrived only to find that she was not there, and that he was only able to scrape up $2 a week to feed and house his family doing odd jobs. At 24 years of age, he felt the pressure of the times and of the situation; and on the night of September 12th, 1932, he retired and awoke at the morning dawn, restless - a great deal on that young man’s mind.
With all the pressures, ambiguities, and risks of being in human form in that pattern, he felt a relaxation come over him, as he described, that he had never felt before; and his attention went to a tablet that was on a small table and he began to write. As he did the elements in in the room, the objects, disappeared into a haze in his consciousness. He felt a particular glow roundabout which enveloped him. He wrote for an hour, and then it stopped. When he read what had been written he was a amazed. It was filled with answers to things that had been the longing of his heart and mind to understand for years. There the answers were. As he reflected in the glow of the experience that he had had, he wondered if it was a visitation from an angel. And then, upon further reflection, he realized that this intelligence, this vision, had come from none other than his True Self.
The point that I wish to make here is that the LORD of Love manifested through this man's consciousness, and he recognized it, even to the point where he realized that he had another name—Uranda, from the Motherland: “One Who Lets the Light of Christ Shine Forth”. And in awe of the implications of what had occurred, he proceeded to follow through—and follow through he did!—allowing the victory of what was realized to come into manifest form. Through every thought, word, deed, and action his Higher Self became his Master, connected to the MASTER of Masters, guiding him to prepare a Way for all of us. Following through on all of the implications, utilizing fully the time he had—which is it turns out, (and I did the math), was about 1,141 weeks. It was a finite period of time—where the reality of heaven on earth was demonstrated through him. Those who responded to the Light within him, participated in the emission of a Tone, a regular pulsation, that began calling, calling more people, not just the initial Core, but more and more people to reveal the truth of themselves. Talents came from around the world, and we discovered so many things together. I say “we” because I feel like I was there; I feel like that's my home; I feel like it's never left, because it hasn't.
After Uranda’s death in 1954, Martin picked it up—the Commission—without missing a beat, without a break, and he focused quite significantly on the necessity of a Radiant Core which he also referred to as a Nucleus, because the collective victory had not yet been adequately set on earth for the release of the full power of the Holy Spirit to wrought the vibrational changes required, to call all substance to remembrance on the planet. And thus, we're here.
And the radiant message that I would long to go out to all responding ones, to all awakening ones on the planet at this time, is that it can be done. Do not think you are crazy. There are those who have seen the Glory of the coming of the LORD, and who have embodied that; and we are still alive. In spite of everything that happened to the LORD's organization on earth, we are still alive, and some of us are in this room today—Praise God—letting the intensification of the vibration of the Most Holy One enter consciousness, and radiate out into the world, going where unto it is meant to go, and returning. So we raise our gifts to the One we serve. This can be done and will be done through humans accepting their Divine Nature.
Do we think for a minute that Uranda did not have distractions? Do we think for a minute that the people around him did not bring controversy and challenges of every kind? And Martin too, and those with him? Distortion came up! But there was a Core that held, that knew how to hold, because they were fused, as it were, with the bonds of the Silver Cord—their common, joyous and passionate Upward Response, and nothing could tear them apart. And nothing could tear us apart, for “we have come to offer Thy Blessing”, and we will do that which is necessary without distraction.
You know, there's a story in the Bible that means so much to me. The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. You might recall how the king insisted that all people bow down and worship a golden object that he had created and brought out to the people. When the music sounded everyone was to do this. And what did the music represent in the story? Does it not represent the same old tune, those callings of the media saying, “Things are bad; you should be afraid.” Or the turbulence of our economic situation in these times. Most of us are older now; perhaps with health issues—the same old tunes: “Well, I've really got to pay attention to this over here.; this is a big deal. Sorry, I'll give you some more attention, LORD of Love, a little bit later, but I've got to do this now”—and thus the creative cycle has been broken repeatedly throughout the ages on cue when the music commands us to bow down to false gods – unworthy priorities. But we know better because we've seen victory over such distractions.
We know how a Unit of Angels can stick together through thick and thin, and let the power build—instead of radiation, response, the building of pressure and power, and then break! we're committed to radiation, response, the building of power and then moreradiation, response, and more building of power. As in the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the furnace was heated seven times it was wont to be.; and they were bound and thrown in because they wouldn't fall down and worship the idol. Then the king looked with astonishment into the furnace saying, “Didn't we throw three people in there? There's a fourth one walking among them, and he is like unto the Son of God.” The Comforter. The Son of God.
The powerful resources that are required to alter vibration and alter matter are at hand. Uranda knew this, otherwise I'm sure he would have turned back when he realized what a large project this was. But he knew the power because he recognized it, he perceived it, and then he used it. And he taught us how! And now, I ask, at this blessed time of celebration, how can we do less? This is indeed the Day the LORD hath made. And I am sure that those who have gone before in this work are watching us with great interest. Let us continue their victory.
It's my pleasure now to turn the camera and the mic over to my dear friend Arno in Johannesburg.
Arno Van Haght— after a long pause… I Am here. It is just good to rest with you, to rest in the Presence of the LORD, and for us to feel His Joy and His Gladness that such a day would come. When the Master was on earth, He had spoken of the gift that He would leave us, the Spirit of Truth, and He had these words to say: “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew things to come.”
My meditations and my considerations, my supplication before the LORD, in which you all were a part, was, “What could I, as I Am, share with you in this time, in the Presence of I Am THAT I Am, that continues to prepare your hearts and your minds and your bodies to receive the One that has drawn you to this point?” Many times I have, as the one I Am, walked in the Garden and called for the children of the LORD to appear—and as Robert indicated earlier on, they were busy. Many times I have asked the LORD of Lords our KING to forgive me, because I could not present His children before Him. Many times, His children would quit before the blessing. Each time, with sadness in my heart, I would appear before Him, not without tears and not without approaching that brink of shame, that just as He is ready to pour out His Blessing, we would have something better to do. What a joy to be with you all, to know that we have come through that threshold of quitting before the blessing. What a privilege it is to hear the Body, His Angels, His children, the ones that are created in Our image, would come together, and say, as you have said Robert, “We are here. We will not quit. This can be done. And this time I will not quit before the blessing.” The LORD has waited a long time for this.
A long time ago some words were written, and they speak to that which is in my heart to share with you; and I will ask Laura to read them, but I will also ask Steve to play that music following those words. Let us rest in the LORD, for He has drawn us in His Spirit’s tether, and it is good to bring praise and thanksgiving before Him.
Laura Malan — I'm so blessed and thankful to be here with all of you. Draw Us In The Spirit’s Tether:
Draw us in the Spirit's tether,
for when humbly in your name
two or three are met together,
you are in the midst of them.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Touch we now your garments hem.
As the disciples used to gather
in the name of Christ to sup,
then with thanks to God the Father
break the bread and bless the cup.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
so knit thou our friendship up.
All our meals and all our living
make as sacraments of you,
that by caring, helping, giving,
we may true disciples be.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
We will serve thee faithfully.
As a daughter of God, and disciple of my KING, I declare how glorious it is to stand here in the Upper Room at the Throne before our LORD and KING. How truly beautiful to receive the Light of His Truth, and how wonderful to be in the presence of His Divine Love! I receive the currents of the Spirit from the Divine Source in relationship to this Temple of Light.
[recorded music played: “Draw Us In The Spirit’s Tether”; words by Percy Dearmer (1867-1936); music by Harold Friedell (1905-1958)]
Arno Van Haght — The LORD promised to serve us faithfully. He promised that He would send us the Comforter—and He did. And here you are—as High Priests in your own Body-Temple—to provide that comfort, that assurance of His Presence as a blessing to His world. Our LORD and KING, the Gracious and Most Merciful, has loved us without ceasing; and each time there has been a near miss He has provided us, and provided me, with one more opportunity, because He will not let one of us be lost.
As you, Robert, indicated, I say this in my words: The least we could do is receive Him. The least we could do is to enjoy the magic of His Presence, because we have accepted the magic of His truth. It has been brought to remembrance. The least we could do is to let the light so shine, His love so be present in the world where we are that needs it so much, to return the favor. The least we could do is to receive the birth-right, that for so long He has been seeking to activate in our hearts, through our minds, and in our bodies.
Today there is rejoicing in Heaven because we have lifted up our heads. We have accepted His truth. We have let our hearts be inspired, and our bodies be moved by the Presence of His love, so that all our worlds, where we serve in His Whole Holy World, may be made new. He asked us not to let our hearts be troubled. He asked us neither to be afraid. He told us what would happen if we did, though. But He never let go of our hand, because Mother God was always present, interceding on behalf of Her children, on behalf of Their children, in whose image we are made. And here we are.
It is good to let there be silence in between the Word, and in between the words, that you may hear your Master within, the Wonderful One within you, beyond the sound of my specific voice, so we may know that we are attuned with the One that we love—that all our meals and all our living, all our communion together, make us truly sacraments of Him. And we will know that, and come to know that we know the wonder, the beauty, and the glory of living in that reality. This is the living inspiration; this is the Temple of Light—you are that in the world in which you serve and have been positioned by the Wonderful One within you to serve. And in that we are together. The LORD's children have grown and grown up—as Martin exhorted us many times to “grow up!” We have. And the One that he was is glad too, today, that the promise that the LORD made, our LORD of Lords, and he kept alive, and Uranda kept alive, is indeed alive and well.
By the time this hour of devotion is done, there would have been silence in Heaven for the space of half an hour allowing those projections to back up: those projections of limitation, those projections of shame that we carry - not only because of the flesh that was drawn to us, but because of the flesh on whose behalf we intercede; because our role as Priests and Priestesses is to represent God to the people and the people to God. We are the Body of Intercession at this time. As we rest in the LORD, He allows those projections of shame and embarrassment, of loss, of failure, of pain, of suffering, of tears and sorrow, to be backed up—so that the commitment, the promise, that you made on behalf of the body, Robert, might be fulfilled. We can do this! The LORD will help us to do that, if we let Him. He will build the house. He will forgive the sin. He will help us to move from the place of incompleteness to the state of completeness; to move from victory unto victory; to move from one part of the Plan of Fulfilment through to the next level of fulfilment. We do not have to have sorrow in order to know joy. We do not have to know the tears in order to be able to smile. But when there are tears as we let that which needs to pass away, pass away, let it be tears of joy.
When we have to see the chaos in the world pass away, and some of our brothers and sisters need to steward that process, let us bless them and not criticize. Let us thank them for the work that they do to allow the passing away of the old Jerusalem, the old heaven and the old earth. Let our hearts not be troubled because these things need to happen. Let us not pretend that we are not there to return the earth to the LORD, the world that is His, and all they that dwell therein. Let us not pretend that that is not our job. It is our job. Let it be a job of joy, of blessing, of assurance, of wonder that is accomplished by the radiance of the One that dwells in the Temple of Light, that is you, that is me, that is us together. And let His Grace be sufficient for all of us, and for all those that are in your care, because you have come to serve Him, to complete the promise by going no more forth from His Temple.
As we spoke our names in the beginning, received by Steve, I wished at that time to remind us that we confirm, and allow the LORD to confirm our names in the Book of Life every time that we let Him in. The LORD is ecstatic that we would let Him confirm our names in the Book of Life; and that through our hearts and our hands and our minds and our actions, the Living Ministry, by reason of your breath, by reason of your thoughts, by reason of the movement of your body, is achieving that which was seeded in us, and is activated in you.
So as we close this specific pulse to allow there to be the radiant response before the LORD, may I share one more thing with you in this way: As the one I Am, in the current of I Am That I Am: May the LORD bless you and keep you. May our LORD and KING make His Face shine upon you. May He be gracious to you, as He always has been, and may you receive that. May our LORD and KING, the LORD of Lords and the KING of Kings lift up His countenance upon you. And may you know His Peace in all the days of your tomorrows. In all the days of your tomorrows. Au-men.
If you would rest with me for just a while before the next pulse... The space is open for the voice of His children to be heard, for His Priests and Priestesses to share that which is moving in their hearts.
Laura Fisher — The word of the KING is spoken on earth. Come near unto me. The mystery of God is finished because the living Word, the living invitation, has been extended; and the living Word comes back in joyous response. There is no greater joy than to be the living Word, and proclaim that. May we give deep thanks for all that has gone before, to allow us all to come fully into this living moment, to give greater thanks by living deeply and truly the Word of our KING.
David Barnes — The intensification of the vibration of the Most Holy One is certainly very strongly felt, experienced and sustained. Sustained, though there may be things to attend to in the foreground of daily life, but the intensification of the vibration of the Most Holy One is sustained and known in the attitude of, I have come; I am here, and those words spoken earlier, “to Him, bright honour bring”—bright honor. I could feel the smile and see it on the face of the Body of the LORD throughout our time together this morning. Something else I felt quite keenly is that which we have called the dragon, the old serpent, becoming highly offended, at this upstart voice that would dare to challenge my authority in the earth! And in observation of that feeling pattern of the satanic mind becoming offended at being dethroned, at the same time slinking off into the darkness, while the joy and the beauty of bringing bright honor to the KING, is dominant on this high, holy occasion. It is fulfilling to experience this, all of us together, and let the powerful current flow forth, and be sustained. What we've experienced in this time of intensification, let it return to each of us in the days to come, bringing what it will, and we meet it in that same constant current that says, “This is why I am here.” I have come and I meet what returns in the same pattern of intensification as was shared on this beautiful, bright morning, all of us together on September 18th, 2022. Thank you.
Deborah Starrs — I was just thinking, Robert, of your reference that your words may evoke some sentimentality or nostalgia. I often think of those who have so lovingly guided me, and offered me so much, bringing me into a level of awareness that might not have happened without their nurturing and example. And when I think of those precious ones, they're as close as hands and feet. I don't think anybody goes anywhere until the job is done; there's such a commitment to this amazing, just amazing work! Gracie said to me one time, “This may just be the greatest experiment ever undertaken by anyone anywhere!” And her eyes got so big and her face lit up. This is an exciting time to be alive. These are the times for which we came! And terrible as everything looks in the earth from time to time, we know, if we're honest, that all is well—the truth is true and all is well, unconquerable life prevails. We've had those experiences in our own little circumstances and we see it working out on a larger scale. So it's a great time for great rejoicing, and I don't feel this sentimentality at all. Those fond memories make me chuckle sometimes too, because they are fun times, with humor, that comes to mind. So no, our hearts are not troubled, and we rejoice to see what is working out in all the Whole Holy World.
Davina Michroch — I would like to just to put in a word about the magic that is unfolding in the UK right now. I cannot even begin to tell you of the incredible atmosphere prevailing, of sacredness, around the passing of the Queen; and the open hearts, and the world leaders converging. There is something afoot here; the LORD is definitely in the driver’s seat here. And it's a real privilege to be on this call, and know that we're part of the stewardship of this current; and this event is opening a portal in some very important way. Thank you.
Steve Ventola — Good words Davina, because we know that pneumaplasm is generated out of physical substance. And what's happening in England—there's substance rising, pneumaplasm rising in order for heaven to imprint something greater for our next stage of life and experience. So just something to affirm, and we see the greater cycle happening.
Stewart Berger — Thank you so much Robert and Arno, for your wonderful expression and gift to us. It's provided us with a lot to consider regarding substance being freed up. I think this is a key point in the cycle we're in. Also, it was mentioned about the untroubled heart. Stillness is required, being in the still place, which doesn't mean there's nothing happening. There is the vibrancy of life which is allowed to increase and be increasingly known as there is a cessation of human activity—there's so much happening in the world. As was mentioned about the body being reawakened—remembering its purpose, with increased unified radiation through us; this is helping to call so many others in the world to remember who they are, their purpose, our reason for being together. I think it's very simple, the choice—will it be life or death—a stark choice, but an easy one if one knows the true purpose of life. So it's a joyful thing and it's very light. And I'm loving it, with all of you. All that has been done by Uranda and Martin and all of those with them who are known to us—but how many beyond that who were connected vibrationally? I think we find ourselves at a wonderful place, with what can happen from here! We'll find out and it's a great journey.
Alan Jonas — “For I have overcome the world.” I've been meditating on those words this week, and I see now that they were words of celebration. They, of course, were also a call to action. It can't just be one, it has to be all. And so how blessed I am to be here today with you in that understanding, and to be able to say these words and make them real in my living. Thanks.
Luanne Somers — Arno, I want to thank you for saying that about intercession. We are an intercessory body. Not only a blessing for ourselves, for this body, for the ones that we directly touch, but you reclaimed the world today, the world body, those bodies for whose lives we intercede; all bodies. And this body of the LORD, it has been reclaimed because of your words, Robert's words, David mentioned it as well. We are here now, reclaiming this world for the LORD.
Anne Blaney — I enjoyed the authority that came through these two men, and it made me think about another authority—the LORD of Lord's authority. One thing that humans keep getting drawn into is a state of myopia: seeing things that are close, immediate and getting distracted by them. We've all known that process. But we have been drawn into a much larger perspective here. I couldn't help but think about the LORD's authority, that He has in terms of this solar system—just to reverse that myopia a little bit. Because He does have an authority over a much greater reality than just this one planet. But this one planet is His Body, His agreement pattern, His manifestation in, as we can see, incredible diversity and beauty and subtlety and power. How great that reflects who He is. But together we have the honour to join in His authority over a much greater reality. We cannot put that into words at this point, but we can keep our eyes on the horizon, especially right now when there are realities in this larger field called the solar system that are coming into our awareness. I don't think that's an accident that we have pictures of planets, these beautiful jewels out there, streaming our way right now. So praise the LORD for the authority of two men this morning, and for the authority that we know in our own lives—our authority, but it is His authority speaking through us, for a much greater authority s being called for.
Robert Merriman — Thank you, each one who has spoken, and all who have participated in active silence. Steve, if I may hand it over to you. Let’s close with Uranda’s chanting?
Steve Ventola — That would be wonderful Robert. Wonderful to share altogether in the generation of substance that's needed for all of us to move to another level, and to provide intercession for all the world. Our next Temple of Light service is on October 30th with Gary Courtland Miles and David Barnes. Let's listen now to Uranda. We went a little longer today, but let's stay with the current and we'll just leave after Uranda is finished.

Uranda — Chanting in an adaptation of the Motherland Tongue, and then chanting words in English: There is a Land of the Living, a Land, a Land of the Living … O come … O come and dwell … O come and dwell in the Land of the Living … O come and serve … O come and serve the God of the Living … The God of the Living. There is a Land of Light … there is a Land of Light … O come and dwell in the Land of the Light … O come … O come … O come …
