You do not lose your individuality, your value. It is not like a drop of water in an ocean — not at all. This oneness does not reduce your individuality. It allows it to manifest. This provides you the setting essential to the revelation of what you are as an aspect of God, but without that setting you cannot have any true manifestation. And if you try to take the setting away from someone else you can’t have it yourself. You have it when you do your part toward making it possible for others to find their setting. For the setting of the gem is in the home of the Heavenly Parents, and these are the many mansions our LORD talked about. “In my Father’s House” — He is the focalization; He is the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings — “In my Father's House are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you.” Your mansion, your Father's House, your home.
Now, we have to persuade people to go home. They're ashamed to go home or they do not want to go home, or they think their parents are dead. They think a thousand and one things. They imagine they are satisfied where they are. Human beings do not willingly go home. Even when they are responding nicely, coming along very well. Don't ever imagine that that person is going to willingly go home. No human being willingly goes home. Some of you look puzzled. You think you're doing it. Fine! Keep right on coming, Blessed Ones, let’s go Home. Let’s go right on Home. But there will be those things which the human being will project or cling to which will prevent him from going home. He says, “Yes, I want to go home but I want to take my bag with me, my bag of treasures.”
You have to let the self-active part of your nature pass away, but the physical body does not have to die to do it, and you do not have to be every whit whole, according to the human concept. If you have some crippled part of the body, that will not stop you unless you make it. You can come home to the Father's House and there see what happens. But people want to be made whole: “I'd be ashamed to go home to my Father's House looking like this. I want to have all of my parts. I want to be good and healthy. I want to show my Father that it has not hurt me any to be a prodigal son or daughter.” You're going to kid Him, are you? As long as you think you can delude your Father, you are not going to get home. You can't, you know.
What difference does it make? Why not come just as you are! Why say, “Well, I want to grow up so much first. I want to learn so much. I want to know so much. I want to be so-and-so in my body.” The limitations of your body do not make an iota of difference. What you think you don't know doesn't make an iota of difference. You can come just as you are, if you're willing to let the Master's Word be fulfilled in you. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” The Word of the Father to you — “all ye that labor and are heavy laden.” Heavy laden with what? Heavy laden with all these earthly treasures, all the things that are so nice, the burdens that bear human beings down.
Are you willing to trust your treasures to God? Are you willing to trust yourself to God? Are you willing to come home to the Father's House? That is the question. And you can come just as you are. You do not have to wait and grow up so much, learn so much, be ready to show your brilliance to the Father. All you have to do is just come. Relinquish your burden. Let go. And come just as you are and the Father will meet you from afar off — while you are yet afar off.
The Father, God's Love, reaching out to you now. And your Mother, how is she? Do you know her? Do you know your Mother is beautiful? Your Mother is exquisitely beautiful — the Truth is always beautiful. Your Mother is exquisitely beautiful. And your Father, what of Him? He is worth knowing — well worth knowing. Why not go home? Why not come home to the Father's House? There's a mansion there for you, a mansion in the Kingdom of Heaven right here at hand, on earth, a place for you.
And it's only so, that you can go through the process of rebirth; only so, can you know the resurrection; only so, can there be the gathering of the waters that the dry land may appear and the forms of life may manifest; only so, can there be agreement on earth as touching these things, that the Father's Will may be done on earth, and in earth, as it is in heaven. And when we take this step, and truly share it, we have come to know with respect to the Father — the Father for each one, and in turn Our Father, the higher point of focalization — Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever.
