Vibratory Substance For The Whole Spectrum Of Spirit

Vibratory  Substance

For  The  Whole  Spectrum  Of  Spirit

Martin Cecil   April 30, 1980  Assembly

As an Assembly, we rightly provide a resting place for the LORD on earth. Here is what might be described as a spiritual container in which there is fine spiritual substance kept safe, so that the LORD, by His spirit, may enter in. As this takes place, there is an intensification. As there comes an ease in letting this generation occur, there is a focus point of orientation provided for all the world. That focus point is the spirit of God and we may easily designate the spirit of God as love. To the extent that there is the essential fine substance, the reality of this love comes within the range of our own experience. It is not really that love is just now putting in an appearance—it was there all the time—but we have been little aware of it because we had so little correlating substance. As that substance is present, then this focus of spirit is known. It may be describable in terms of light. The spirit of love, and the fine substance which may accommodate it, engenders what we call light—Spiritual Light. 

We use this symbol to awaken an understanding of the reality. This is only possible to the extent that that reality of love is not only present but becomes tangible, because it is associated with dimensional substance. We provide a container then for this spiritual substance and in so doing, we provide a container for the spirit of God. The spirit and the substance blend. 

Here, we have the particular responsibility of permitting all the essences of this light to be present because, as individuals, we provide foci for these essences. We may think of these essences as a spectrum of color, if we are using the symbol of light. Each individual represents a color. Instead of using the word light we could say the Word. The Word tends to correlate in consciousness with sound. We've used the term Tone which can be color or it can be sound. All these various dimensional symbols are contained within the Spirit of Love—white light has all the spectrum within it, not immediately evident but it's there. We discover it's there when it is differentiated. 

You have your own individual representation of tone or color, the essence which in creative action must extend into mass consciousness of mankind. When we consider these things, we necessarily must do so on the basis of symbols and analogy and so on, in order that may be activated within us what it is that is back of the symbol or the analogy. Then knowing that, we participate in the factual creative process, rather than in the imaginary one. 

Considering what needs to be considered, we find apparent paradoxes. So we should not get hooked on the symbols and the analogies, because we will find that one apparently contradicts another; but it isn't so from the standpoint of the truth. When we think of differentiation, we think of something expanding, something getting larger, taking in more territory. But if we stop to consider how much territory would the spirit of love take in, obviously, here is something universal, we might say infinite. We could use the word infinite to represent what is in other terms undimensional. You can’t dimensionalize it, which is to say, you can't really contain it. 

So the Spirit of Love is beginning to be known because there is substance of the requisite quality for this to happen. I would suggest that at this point the substance of the requisite quality for love to be known as it really is, is not present yet. We can know it only to the extent that there is the substance available to that knowing. We haven't yet allowed such a fineness of living, that there might be the fineness of substance present by which love, pure love, could be known. So whatever we have experienced thus far, is still down the line a little from the crossover point between the undimensional and the dimensional. 

It was indicated in Revelation that the Holy City, New Jerusalem, was seen to be descending from God out of heaven. This is one way of looking at it from below, in dimensional terms. But I think we already have an awareness that there isn't anything coming from anywhere in fact—it may give that appearance, because it has been absent from our experience. We are providing the facility by which it might be present in our experience. If we use this analogy of the Holy City coming down from God out of heaven we wouldn't think of this as though: “There, suddenly, is the City.” Another analogy would be that it is coming out of the mist. Yet, it isn't coming out of the mist either; it's simply that the mist is dissolving, so that what is there can be seen, known, and experienced. 

One may look at the process from our own standpoint of experience, as though we were ascending toward this crossover point where we belong. But that isn't true either. It is merely that what is already present emerges into our own experience, and it is this emergence into our own experience that is describable in terms of the Holy City coming down from God out of heaven. 

I made mention in the video recently of concentric spheres. Here is another way of describing a reality, but again, quite inadequately, because the fact of the matter is that there aren't any concentric spheres. However, again, it may acquaint us with what the reality is. The usual human viewpoint, while lip service to the greatness and almightiness of God is paid, in fact He is seen to be very small. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-dominion-of-essences.html] And even from the standpoint of our own consideration, we have been concerned with this point which has position but no magnitude. There is no magnitude merely because magnitude is the quality of the dimensional world, and God is not of the dimensional world. Therefore He has no magnitude in the dimensional world except as there is the generation of form in that dimensional world at all the levels possible. 

Now, all of God would never be capable of being so revealed in a moment—we come again to eternity and infinity. It takes all the moments there are to reveal God. In one sense, we can say, “Well, there's no hurry,” because we have eternity available to us as we do actually participate in this creative process. We do not equate things with the usual human considerations of earthly life‑span. 

Differentiation seems to be an expansion, differentiating God's love, but then, there are no limits to God's love. So it is scarcely an expansion, really, from that standpoint; it is merely revealing moment by moment the reality of God's love in that moment in the dimensional realm. We have a particular part to play in this, which is what gives us meaning, and consequently a sense of meaning when we're playing that part. 

Coming back again to these concentric spheres, it is not as though there was something merely emerging out of the focus point of these spheres and then expanding out into the spheres, so that on this basis the coarsest level of expansion would be the periphery of this sphere. Well, in the first place, I indicated that it doesn't have any periphery. But we have also seen and become aware of the fact that the coarsest level of substance is the smallest level of substance. Therefore, if we wanted a symbol of this we would find a very small sphere close to the focus point of this vast sphere which has no periphery, and that would represent the coarsest level of substance. In our own awareness this would be physical substance, so you have a little physical sphere there. 

But the point of centering is the same point of centering for all the concentric spheres that extend beyond that little sphere at the center. Now there are no spheres because there is no mark, line of delineation, between one vibratory level of substance and the next. There isn't any such line of delineation really with respect to physical substance. It only appears so to us because we interpret things on the basis of our senses, and that interpretation is not necessarily the truth of the matter. But this analogy of concentric spheres does illustrate something to us, because each sphere fills and contains a smaller one within it. 

If we make, or give, arbitrary names to these spheres we can say that there is a mental sphere, which fills the physical sphere, permeates that, but extends beyond it. And then, we can say that there is the sphere of spiritual expression which likewise fills the physical sphere, permeates that, permeates the mental sphere, and extends beyond both. But then, there is whatever comes next, we could say the sphere of the heart which permeates the physical sphere, the mental sphere, the sphere of spiritual expression, and extends beyond. 

Each sphere as we are describing them connects the sphere within it to the sphere beyond. If there is a valid connection, then there is no delineation to the sphere; one blends into the next. And one may follow this analogy out until one comes to the sphere which permeates all others, and extends beyond all others. Now one could say, if we are looking at it in terms of a dimensional universe, [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2022/10/trailing-clouds-of-glory.html] that it fills the whole universe. 

So, we have a better perspective then with respect to the various vibratory levels of substance. And one can see how utterly ridiculous it is that human beings have concentrated on this little sphere in the middle as though that was all there was. It is the grain of mustard seed and out of it springs vastly more, because there is this point of centering common to all vibratory levels. It is present at all vibratory levels. Here is an analogy that acquaints us with something rather tremendous, something which is a reality regardless of human beings. But we have the opportunity of correlating with this in particular ways, according to the nature of the creative responsibilities which we carry. We don’t have to create the universe, obviously so! But we need to know how to operate in it. 

You could say, “Well the earth is a pretty good symbol of the coarsest level of vibrational substance, the coarsest sphere.” We see spheres beyond this, relative to what we call the solar system, and then beyond the solar system—however far that extends, if you want to look at it in dimensional terms. How far does the solar system reach? Of course, you can't delineate it particularly because it's part of something larger. If we look at all these levels as spheres surrounding the earth—where our responsibility is, after all—then we have a solar sphere, and we have a galactic sphere, and we have a universal sphere, and maybe others beyond that. The universe can be used as a catchall—all that seems very big to us, dimensionally speaking. We equally can move in the other direction and find the very small, but if you are an inhabitor of the very small no doubt that is seen very big too. Who knows whether our awareness of the very big universally speaking is not actually very small on some vastly greater scale? We recognize that we are within systems and there are systems within us, but clearly our field of responsibility is at the level where we are. 

So we concern ourselves with this which brings us down to the relatively manageable. And if we manage correctly our fields of responsibility, included in that will be the management of all that is contained in the systems which are to us seemingly much smaller. By the same token, it is because we are contained within systems bigger that we have the potential—which has been hidden for so long from human consciousness—of being held in place so that we're able to do what is natural to us by this larger enfoldment. This correlates somewhat with the notion that we're all in the hands of God. There is that larger enfoldment, but because human beings have ignored it, and resisted it, and tried to go their own way, of course it has been rendered more or less meaningless in their own experience. And there has been a little block, a little blemish, shall we say, in the vast whole, something temporary, which is now being cleansed away—not much of a trick really! It looks like a big task to human minds, because the human mind could never do it. 

So there is this considerable spectrum of vibrational levels of substance—at least this is the way we describe it. Human beings are aware certainly of the vibrational spectrum in this regard: the electromagnetic spectrum, for instance, which goes from whatever it is ultra-high frequency—they'll have to find another term of what happens above that again—to the very low frequency. And this all relates to substance at a certain vibrational level. One might say this is relatively coarse substance which represents finer substance. We've been taking note of these spheres within spheres, each permeating the ones lower, the ones coarser. And here is dimensional substance of certain vibratory levels which has become apparent to human experimentation. That only exists because there is the substance which permeates that and extends beyond that. We could call that the spiritual spectrum as opposed to the material spectrum. The material spectrum seems pretty mysterious too, doesn't it, so the spiritual spectrum is certainly beyond belief insofar as the human approach is concerned. And we find all these things correlate in us, as individuals, and together, because we are parts of a larger system. 

So we move in the creative cycle providing a point of orientation to the extent that we are in position to do so now. This is not the ultimate point of orientation, but it's the one we have in this moment, therefore it is supreme in this moment. The changes come, other aspects of the creative cycle work out—we participate in those too. But we have what we have now, with substance available, capable of permeating the vibrational substance of mankind and extending beyond it. Would you say, if this is true, if we really do have some of this substance, that our sphere is smaller than the sphere of mankind? No, it permeates the substance which is contained in human nature experience and extends beyond that. So if you wanted to describe it in terms of spheres, it's the larger sphere. 

What we are associated with is not such a little pinpoint as we might have supposed, because the tendency of course is to see everything in terms of physical size, which from our standpoint is not the point. The physical size is the smallest size and when one compares physical forms, in a way, one is comparing smallness. We need to see things in a consciousness of their true stature. We need to have some consciousness of our own true stature. I have sought to emphasize this from time to time by indicating spheres within spheres, and that within this sphere there is the flesh body. So, we're larger than we thought. 

We don't correlate largeness, really, merely with physical form. That is the least important—it's the ash remaining from the creative fires. But there must be some means of ascension, and we're here to provide that. You provide the substance of connection and the substance through which spirit acts, so that there may be resurrection. And the substance of coarser levels may be refined in the fires again in the ascending cycle, to be restored to God. Now what all this means is obscure, obviously, to human consciousness. It's still obscure to us, but we have a sense of relatedness to it; it somehow makes sense. And in our participation, in the actual reality of the processes, we find what the sense is. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2019/01/from-activation-of-seventh-sense-martin.html] We don't find what the sense is by merely thinking about it, speculating about it. You find what it is by doing it. 

And so we associate ourselves in permitting an awakening to occur in our own consciousness at levels where it has not yet occurred. And as it was said: “And I, if I be lifted up.” What we are in reality needs to be lifted up in the sense that we need to become aware of it, and there is a certain amount of underpinning to be done. As substance fills in at the coarser levels, purified substance at the coarser levels, then there is a base for the generation of the finer substance. And when that is generated and blended with the substances, already there is a base for generating finer substance still, so that we may have the available vibratory substance for the whole spectrum of spirit. And when that is so, we are at the crossover point. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2022/09/two-crossover-pointskarma.html]

The mist has faded away and all levels of consciousness are filled to the brim with the reality of the spirit of God in action. Now that action is different at different levels of consciousness, obviously, and we don't expect it to be all conscious. If we were consciously aware of everything that was happening, we wouldn't last a moment, would we? It would be a state of madness. Let be accommodated at each level of vibratory substance what belongs at that level, and leave it at that. We don't allow one level to trespass into another level; it all belongs where it belongs. There is a design. We become more consciously aware of how it is we may allow all to be contained in that design. Then there is balance, then there is all the understanding that is needed consciously, but there is also all the understanding that is needed at all the levels of consciousness, which are to themselves conscious.
