There Is Only One Choice

There  Is  Only  One  Choice





Uranda  June 7, 1947



When we begin to view these things from the Mountain Top and see them in relationship one to another in true perspective vision, in the Light of Truth, we begin to see that Pattern through which the Power of the Creative Current of Divine Love may be released and made manifest on earth in bringing life more abundant to those who respond according to the One Law. Anything that tends to close or clog the channel, which would prevent the free flow of that Creative Current of Divine Love is foreign to the function of the Unit. Because of our interest in Spiritual things, and our grasp of what may be classified as metaphysical Truth, we have all, for a long time, recognized that such things as fear and hate and resentment prevent the manifestation of the Will of God on earth in and through the individuals who indulge in these destructive trends of thought and feeling. Now, in the beginning of this New Cycle, we come to the time and the place where it is essential that every member of the Unit should have a still deeper vision, a still deeper realization, a still more effective function in relationship to these things. To some degree a victory in relationship to these things was in evidence in the individual members of the Unit long before they became members of the Unit, and the victory in relationship to these things has been increasingly evident as we have come up to the present time; but now, in the beginning of this New Cycle, we come to the time and the place where it is essential that every member of the Unit should have a still deeper vision, a still deeper realization, a still more effective function in relationship to these things.


Our Master, when He was on the cross and His Ministry on earth was finished, with the exception of His Resurrection and that which followed after, spoke the immortal words, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." All too often human beings have imagined that His expression related primarily to the soldiers who had thrust the spear into His side, to those who had crowned Him with thorns, to those who had spat upon Him and scourged Him, as if His Word in this matter was primarily an expression of pity for those specific individuals who had had a personal part in committing that heinous crime against God.


Any such idea fails to grasp the great significance of the Master's Life and Ministry and Teaching, and the great significance of what He said on the cross, and the great significance contained in the fact of His Resurrection. Do you suppose that, because Jesus spoke those words on the cross, all those individuals who had participated in that crime were automatically and forthwith relieved of any ill consequence following upon their acts? Merely because He said, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do," did they have no further responsibility in the matter? I think not. In the eyes of God that did not lessen their responsibility or their guilt one single iota nor did it remove from them the consequences of their ill acts.


Let us consider. The Master came into the world to bring salvation to the human family. The human family is one body. That body of humanity has lived for thousands of years. The body of humanity has never died, since the day that the body of humanity that fell was told, "Thou shalt surely die." The body of humanity has lived through these thousands of years. It was this body of humanity, through the members that we may call its hands, that crucified our LORD and KING, not just the members of what we speak of as that generation but the body of humanity since the day of the fall until this present moment, for that body of humanity has lived through this entire period of time and it has always been the body of humanity. The body or humanity is guilty of that act, not just the hands of the body that perpetrated the act, but the whole body of which the hands were but a part.


The Master's expression of Ministry never lost sight of the body of humanity. He was not thinking merely of the individual members of the body that perpetrated the action when He said, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." He was thinking of every member of that human body that was then or has been, up to this present moment. Individual human beings are only cells in the body of humanity. The cells in the human body of the individual change, but it remains the same body. The identity of the body remains the same year after year, regardless of the cellular changes within the body itself. So is it also with the body of humanity. This body of humanity that we know in the world today is the body of humanity that crucified our LORD and KING. The body of humanity has been under sentence of death for many thousands of years, but the body of humanity has never paid that sentence.


Jesus Christ came into the world to make possible the formation of a New Body, a Body renewed and reborn, which should be free of that sentence of death. The world body crucified Him and increased unto itself its sentence of death, but, nevertheless, He made possible the birth of a New Body, the Christ Body, that individuals who would let themselves be transformed and reborn, that they might be members of this New Body, might have a part in the Victory over the sentence of death. The world body is guilty of the murder of our KING. The world body has imagined that it could get away with it. The world body has imagined that it would not have to pay for its crime. The world body will find that the sentence of death, that has been imposed, will be executed. All those who are members of the world body will have to share, or have a part in, the death of the world body, but He Who was murdered by the world body made possible the manifestation of a New Body on earth which should be free of the death sentence, and He made it possible for any man, woman or child on the face of the earth who should fulfil certain requirements, to come into that New Body, the Christ Body, so that, being a member of the Christ Body, he or she should cease to be a member of the world body under the sentence of death.



The only hope of the continuity of man on earth rests in the Christ Body, because the world body must pay the price for its crime. If every man, woman and child upon the face of the earth were to share in that transition, if every man, woman and child upon the face of the earth were to share in Rebirth and become members of the Christ Body, we would all rejoice exceedingly and all would be well, for if all were members of the Christ Body by reason of Rebirth, the world body would have come to an end.


This should be emphasized so that it may be clearly realize that the death of the world body does not necessarily require the death of any man, woman or child upon the face of the earth, for every man, woman and child on the face of the earth is offered the privilege of Rebirth whereby each may become a part of the Christ Body, and if that took place the world body would be no more. "God is not willing that any should perish but that all should have everlasting life"—but what is the beginning of that text? "For God so loved the world"—for God so loved the whole human family, for God so loved the body of humanity—"that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on Him might not perish but have everlasting life."


"For God so loved the world"—and almost with His last breath, our LORD and Master Whom the world-body murdered, said, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." He did not say those words to keep guilty ones from reaping the reward of their crime, but, rather, to make certain that the guilty ones did receive punishment for their crimes. He said those words to make certain that the sentence of death should be executed for the world body. That statement may sound strange on first hearing or at first glance, even to Emissaries, but let us consider.


Suppose the Master had harbored any hate. Suppose He had carried any fear. Suppose He had focalized any resentment while He was on the cross. He would have clogged the channel and would have prevented the free flow of the Current of Divine Love into the world, and the Current of Divine Love purges and cleanses away and brings to nothingness all that is evil. He came into the world to open a clear channel for the flow and release of the Current of Divine Love into the world. He did that. He proved, for those who should understand, that He did that, when He said, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” He provided an absolute focalization on earth which (regardless of what all the members of the human body had done, and therefore regardless of what the human family as a whole had done) was absolutely clear, absolutely free from fear, from hate and from resentment. There was nothing to clog the channel; there was nothing to prevent the free flow of the Current of Divine Love into the world as far as He and the focalization which He established was concerned. That meant that He made certain that all those who were guilty should die.


When the Power of God flows through any individual it must of necessity flow through the channels provided by the consciousness of the individual, and if that Current flows through channels of fear or hate or resentment then the very Power of God is utilized to maintain the conditions of evil in the world. Only when the members which comprise the Unit are free of fear, hate and resentment can the Power of Love flow freely and fully, thereby fulfilling its purpose, accomplishing that whereunto it is sent, uplifting those who respond, and casting down those who respond not.


The Power of God cleanses and purifies. If the individual is responding to God, the impurities are cleansed from the individual, but if the individual is responding to the impurities, so that he identifies himself with the impurities, then the individual himself is purged and removed out of his place. When there is a clear recognition of these things, the focalization of consciousness in the Unit will begin to be ready to let the Power of God truly work in the lives and affairs of men, that all who will may leave the world body and become members of the One Christ Body, and that it may be certain, even as it is certain regardless of what any shall do, that the world body shall surely die.


If our Master on the cross had felt any hate or fear or resentment He would never have come forth from the tomb, and it would have been impossible for anyone to have become a member of the Christ Body. The formation of the Christ Body on earth would have been an utter impossibility, and the death penalty for the world body could not have been executed. The world body would have died in season, but it would simply have been a gradual disintegration into nothingness and nothing would have been left. No human being would have survived. The whole earth would have been nothing but an empty tomb—empty of life, that is, but containing the dust of the human body. But because He went through what He did, without hate, without resentment, without fear, we are privileged to become members of the One Christ Body, and all who will are likewise privileged. God's crowning creation on earth has the privilege of continuity on earth, and He made certain that the world body should receive execution of the sentence of death.



There is only one choice, actually, before the children of men today—do they choose to remain members of the world body, or do they choose to become members of the Christ Body? All other choices are merely incidental to this one choice, and every man, woman and child on the face of the earth is faced with the necessity of making this choice, whether he knows it or not and whether he likes it or not! There is but one Way of salvation and that Way requires acknowledgment and acceptance of the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings in a recognition that His Word is true: the Word when He said, "I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by Me."


When the individual members of the Unit have permitted the work of cleansing to be completed in themselves to a point where there no fear, no resentment and no hate, they will be clear channels for the work of the Creative Current of the Power of Divine Love on earth. Then God's Will shall be done on earth through them, and that is the only way by which God's Will can be done on earth. So, we are privileged to see still more clearly, still more vividly, in a still deeper realization, the secrets of Divine Love.

Thank you for posting this service. Now I do see more clearly how the power of love is transforming in integrating and disintegrating ways.
It is good to choose to be part of the One Christ Body by seeing and releasing the entanglements of the world body.
And it is good to allow for continued such purification to occur.
We are about the immensity of restoration at hand. May I be counted as I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life!

The body of mankind requires an accurate portrayal on earth of the design and control of Truth. After rereading "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac, I'm quite aware of how many false portrayals of 'abundant life' are out there. That was a big one for me in my early 20s.

I can't attest to what Kerouac was thinking but it's clear that when the individual self dictates the design and control, the "whole earth (is) nothing but a tomb" -- a shell devoid of what Life has to offer. But many seekers are hungry for the Truth. Where do they turn except to those few who no longer live in fantasy worlds of their own making. I am forever grateful for Martin and Uranda before him. I am thankful for those who continue to live in heaven on earth in this day.

Life Will Ask

Life will ask if we are safe harbor,
if the storms that sweep across the sea
will find us steady and prepared.
Just a tiny creature on a vast shore
we might think ourselves a bug
or a wild plant that grows and flowers
and passes with the season
but in that we would be mistaken.
We are the rock above the sea,
the light that shines in darkness.
To understand we empty
not to void, rather to stillness
that clears the glass and present
when the world comes calling.
We are not alone but we are single
and in our cellular strength
the beauty of the mandala
rests dependent and assured.
