Capstone Of The Capstone

The Significance of Water Divining

God created this world and established life manifesting through physical form on the surface of the planet, working out the whole pattern according to a very definite design, with the crowning creation, man, at the apex to provide, as we recognize, facilities for maintaining Divine dominion here on earth. There is presently what is recognized as the so-called mineral kingdom, supposedly inert matter. Out of that vibratory level of being springs the vegetable kingdom, giving greater evidence of the manifestation of life in form. And out of the vegetable kingdom, the animal kingdom—with man at the apex of creation here on earth, designed to bring all these things to a point of focus.
We could use the symbol of a pyramid to illustrate this pattern or design of creation—the pyramid, with the layers at the base representing the mineral kingdom; and moving up from the base levels, which extend fairly well up into the body of the pyramid, there are the higher levels to represent the vegetable kingdom and, moving on up, the animal kingdom. In the world as it now is, the design is no longer a pyramid, because the capstone is missing. We have that portrayal in the Great Pyramid of Gizeh, where the capstone is also missing. Man is not in place; therefore the structure is not a pyramid—it is not a revelation of the true design. Man was created to be the capstone, so that all that is present in the body of the pyramid might be drawn to a point of apex in relationship to God. The capstone itself is a little pyramid, exactly the same formation as the larger pyramid when the capstone is in place. The capstone is a little pyramid, and when it is in place the whole structure becomes a pyramid. The dominion of God was established through man in relationship to this creation. In other words the dominion of God was to work through the capstone in relationship to the whole body of the pyramid—the animal kingdom, the vegetable kingdom and the mineral kingdom, all levels. In the design of the capstone itself—mankind—the essential control pattern was established so that that control could be extended to all the rest of creation here on earth.
If we think of the capstone, we can visualize the fact that the capstone itself has a capstone. The capstone of the capstone was designed to provide dominion in relationship to the whole body of the capstone—in other words those who compose the capstone of the capstone had the responsibility of extending dominion over the rest of the capstone, over the rest of the crowning creation, man. The capstone of the capstone provided what we might now call the governmental control aspect with respect to the body of mankind; it was in fact the head of the body of mankind. Moving down from the capstone of the capstone, there would be succeeding layers in the capstone which would correspond to the layers in the body of the pyramid as a whole, so that there were those who were specifically responsible for that which was transpiring creatively in the animal kingdom and in the vegetable kingdom and in the mineral kingdom. Control was maintained through the capstone in relationship to the whole body of the pyramid; and the capstone itself, within itself, contained the control patterns in relationship to the rest of the pyramid and also, of course, in relationship to the capstone itself, through the capstone of the capstone.
Now we recognize that there are those human beings who seem to have some sort of a facility with respect to the mineral kingdom. There are those who have rather a special facility with the vegetable kingdom. Others particularly are able to function effectively with animals. Now this is all rather crude, because man has removed himself from the position of the capstone and therefore what he does is done more or less self-actively, and there is a good deal of confusion.
The contact between man and the various levels of creation here on earth, the various so-called kingdoms, is through the levels of the subconscious mind. All things have mind. Perhaps to clarify a principle with which some of you no doubt are already familiar, we might consider the atom of which all physical substance is composed. The structure of the atom has been examined by human beings—not directly of course, but by indirect means—and it has revealed itself as being composed of a nucleus, with electrons revolving around the nucleus in some way. Of course there is far more to an atom than that, but at least it establishes the basic principle. They have more recently been probing into the protons, of which the nucleus is composed, and there is another something or other, called a neutron, which is more or less indistinguishable from a proton, except by reason of the fact that it has no electrical potential; it is neutral. In probing into the proton and the neutron, they find that within the proton there is another nucleus—and so we go from one to the next!—wheels within wheels, positive centers within positive centers.
In the case of the proton, it is assumed that there is not only this nucleus, with a positive charge in the proton, but the atmosphere which surrounds this positive charge is also positive, so that the end result is that there is a positive charge in relationship to the protons in the atom. In the case of the neutron there is a positive charge—the same as in the proton—in the nucleus of the neutron but the atmosphere is negative, and the positive and the negative cancel each other out in this case, so there is electrical neutrality. These things which are being discovered are interesting. But there is also an atmosphere of the nucleus of the atom, something which shines forth from the nucleus into and around and through the electrons. Whatever that is, we can call it mind. What is a proton? Well, they are trying to find out but they are no wiser actually. It is said that here is a positive charge of electricity. What does it mean? What is it? It is described sometimes as a particle and at other times it is a wave. What is it? [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/trailing-clouds-of-glory.html]
We are beginning to penetrate, then, when we get down to this level, into something which, as has been discovered, does not work quite the same way as the things that we know here where we were designed to function; there begins to be movement into a more or less intangible realm, where nothing stays put or shows itself as being anything particularly. Things keep changing shape and nature constantly, and human beings find it harder and harder to get hold of anything. They give these things names, but because a thing has a name certainly does not mean that anyone knows what it is.
Mind, then, is present in physical substance, all physical substance, because it is that which radiates forth from the nucleus of the atom. But that which is radiating forth from the nucleus of the atom is hardly comparable to things which we know here in this level where we function, and while it is present with physical substance, geographical position has little meaning when we begin to reach into such levels of being. Thought—we can move hither and yon from the standpoint of thought. From the standpoint of spirit there is no distance in the sense that we understand distance physically speaking. Human beings have become so accustomed to looking at things from the limited standpoint of physical manifestation that they begin to get lost when there is movement into other realms.
We recognize that there is something which is called telepathy, that subconscious mind makes contact with subconscious mind. These telepathic contacts are not limited to human beings; they obviously function in relationship to animals. The other day when we made a little tour of the Ranch on my birthday, we went to look at the chickens. Frank was in with them there and calling to them. When he went to kneel down, I don't know whether you noticed but all the chickens in unison made a sudden movement. It was not just one chicken made a movement and then the next, and the next, and the next, down the line; it was an instantaneous thing. What caused it all to happen at the same moment? This telepathic contact of which I speak, between the various levels of the subconscious mind. Now, they were all in the vicinity of each other but separated from each other by space—the chickens. So it was not consequent upon physical contact that there was this concerted movement. You may have watched a company of birds in the air flying and how they all move and change direction like one thing. They don't bump into each other. There is a unification on the basis of the subconscious levels of the mind.
It is possible to establish a pattern of attunement with physical substance. Actually, in the creative processes according to the Divine Design, what would now be considered to be inert physical substance was manipulated and used in various ways without necessarily any physical contact with it. Attunement must be established for any such thing to be achieved. There are those who have wondered how the Great Pyramid was built, for instance, and laborious methods of man have been imagined, although they leave unexplained very many things—for instance, the accuracy with which the structure was built. Although it is so immense, and the blocks of stone that were used are so tremendous, yet there is this accuracy, which would be virtually impossible to human beings now using the most modern instruments. The accuracy is of the nature of that which is used in optical instruments nowadays, the blocks laid together perfectly. This was supposed to be all done by thousands of slaves hauling on these things, up slopes and—well, how would the accuracy be there? This substance was controlled and maneuvered in a different way, not by the sweat of the brow. So we may recognize that it is quite possible to establish attunement with physical substance—not from the standpoint of the conscious mind endeavoring to make physical substance do something; it will not—but through the subconscious mind. It relates to the functions of the subconscious mind as they were designed by God to make possible the establishment and maintenance of dominion here on earth.
Substance reveals itself, physically speaking, for what it is. We know water when we see it or when we touch it. It also reveals itself, vibrationally speaking, for what it is. From the standpoint of human beings, they are always revealing themselves for what they are, vibrationally speaking. Most people do not have the perception to recognize what it is that is being revealed vibrationally speaking, so all that is seen is what appears physically or perhaps what is heard of the words that are spoken. But everything, right from the mineral kingdom up to and including man, is constantly revealing itself, vibrationally speaking; the nature of all things is present vibrationally and if the vibration can be touched, then there is evidence of the fact that that which is extending the vibration is present—we might call that the shadow of the substance. If we see the shadow, we know the substance is there. And so it is possible, when attunement is established subconsciously speaking with the particular level of vibration that is present in the substance, for an awareness of the fact that the substance is there to be made evident. Because we are dealing with a realm which goes beyond the physical, geographical distance actually has little bearing. The vibrational contact can be made from the standpoint of the subconscious mind, regardless of distance. However, if we wish to establish the fact of position in relationship to physical substance we need to be where the physical substance is. The whole process is worked out on the basis of a subconscious telepathic contact. There must be the ability to permit certain levels of one's own subconscious mind to be attuned with substance.
So we begin to see that, while these things superficially may appear to be very mysterious, in fact they are not particularly mysterious once there begins to be an understanding of the principles involved and once we ourselves begin to have an awareness from within ourselves of the manner in which these principles apply. The purpose of such ability to establish attunement with physical substance would not be, for the most part, the purpose for which human beings who have discovered this ability in the world as it now is use it. In the Divine State other purposes were dominant, creative purposes. I have touched upon these things, seeking to bring the matter down to earth. It is not magic in the sense that it is totally incomprehensible. We need to recognize that there is always a reason for everything, and that if we function correctly, as we need to know the reasons for things we will find that we are in position to do so. Yesterday evening the matter of flying saucers came up. We did not follow it out very far. There is a reason for everything, and if there are such things, human beings certainly do not know what they are and so there comes in a lot of speculation and many fanciful ideas, and people build up quite a pattern in that regard and imaginations really go to town.
There are all kinds of things of which human beings know nothing, and of the things they think they know something about they know far less than they imagine they do. We need to maintain a balance and to recognize that there is a reason for everything. Some of these reasons are beyond the comprehension of self-active man, but as we begin to move into attunement with God we find that we are capable of comprehending many things that are mysteries to human beings; and yet we could not explain such things to human beings in general because they do not have the perception to comprehend; but we ourselves may begin to know. So let us follow through in the pattern of the Divine Design, that we may be restored into the capstone of the pyramid—and perchance into the capstone of the capstone, because it is in relationship to the functions of human beings that the restoration needs to take place first. So let us move forward with assurance in this process of resurrection, that we may be restored to stand in the place where we belong.
