Passionate Love For The Truth

Passionate  Love  For  The  Truth

Martin Cecil  September 25, 1983

Yesterday evening I wrote some words which I propose to read to you now. This is something I seldom do but it seems it might be fitting this morning:

“It is difficult not to be aware of the imminent and terminal danger which, like an ominous black cloud, envelops the whole human race. Many of the more honest and clear-sighted in high places on the world scene realize that virtually anything that they or anyone else may do can at best only delay the inevitable. That inevitable is too massive and too ghastly even to attempt to describe. The human perspective is overwhelmed. Well may men’s hearts fail them for fear and for looking toward what is coming upon the earth. Nothing is gained by pretending these things are not so! Yet millions blindly attempt to live as though the world continues to be as it has been. Ambition and avarice still prevail. Self-serving and self-indulgence remain the order of the day and are often equated with freedom. Woe indeed unto the inhabiters of the earth!

“Here is a factual portrayal of the human condition. It is without hope or expectation of survival. The only question might be as to how long before the end comes. Do I lay these things before you this morning to engender fear? Fear, amongst other destructive compulsions, is the cause of what is now coming to culmination. Am I suggesting that it is too late; there is nothing for us to do anymore? You know that the Word to be spoken to all with ears to hear is: Fear not! Behold, a door is opened in heaven. Come up hither. See and act from this new perspective. The former things are passing away. What value in trying to correct or change them? Let the radiance of spirit be the power of our living, that the new state may be unveiled by the passing of the old.

“Everything contained in the old state is now in the past. Is anything gained by analyzing and discussing it? Such action maintains identification with it. Let the former things pass away. Let them go or go with them! No one is exempt from the working of the creative cycle. What is the spirit to be expressed now? What is the attitude to be taken in this moment? Always for us these spring out of passion for the truth, never from reactive judgment of people and circumstances. It may be said that the day of decision is here. This is the day; this is the hour; this is the moment. Only in calm and understanding tranquility can the end of darkness come and the life, which is the light of men, rise with healing in his wings.”

There are a variety of ways in which we may look at what it is that is now occurring. The occurrence itself is happening in our own consciousness. In looking at such things, necessarily parables must be used, analogies which portray what should be seen. And this for the moment may be sufficient but, clearly, until what it is that is actually occurring is our present experience we don’t really know what it is; we simply have a theory about it, a belief perhaps. But I am sure we are all very much aware of the necessity of knowing, that there may indeed be genuine people present, not mere observers, not mere speculators. We above all people have the opportunity of knowing what it means to be genuine. Perhaps we have not always taken full advantage of that opportunity but it has been there, and we have indeed been aware that it has been there. As I say, there may be different ways of looking at things. If this is so we should never be hooked on one particular way or we will have a very flat, or one-sided, picture.

I have before used an analogy which seems to have some merit to it. This principally centers in the fact that all things of which human beings may be aware may be said to be of a vibrational nature. We have equipment as people to interpret what we observe of a vibrational nature in particular ways. We have our senses for this purpose. In these days particularly the senses have been expanded by the use of further equipment that has been created by human beings; but whether it is one’s own personal equipment or something one may purchase out of the store, it is all there to make possible an interpretation of what I have in the past spoken of as electromagnetic fields and electrical charges. I don’t particularly like using the word “electrical” because it is inclined to make people think that they know what the word means. We might call it simply vibrational fields and vibrational charges. This permeates what we are inclined to interpret as space. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/electrical-substance-and-world-i-create.html] It is everywhere and we have equipment as human beings, through our senses, to interpret this mass of vibration in certain ways. We do not have the equipment to interpret all of it. This, I think, is rather fortunate. It allows things to be more orderly and we’re not, or need not be, overwhelmed.

It is a matter of interpretation. What we may be inclined to call creation is simply the interpretation that as human beings we have given to this invisible realm of vibration by reason of the equipment which is present to do this very thing, to make the interpretation. Unfortunately this equipment, while it is capable if used correctly to make a correct interpretation, can also if used incorrectly make an incorrect interpretation. The human state testifies to the fact that an ever increasing misinterpretation has been made and is being made of this invisible vibrational field that is made visible by reason of our interpretations. The world that human beings have created in this fashion is based in misinterpretation. To struggle with the results of that misinterpretation, trying to correct them without ever having learned what it would be to interpret correctly, is a futile undertaking. But all human energy has been poured into this futile undertaking. We have masses of information based in misinterpretation, and we have many supposedly very intelligent people trying to put all this misinterpretation together so as finally to come up with an understanding of what everything is about. As I am sure we are all well aware, the world that has been thereby created is peculiar, to say the least, and for many, many people—most people—more and more uncomfortable to live in.

On the basis of the words which I just read to you it seems that everyone is faced with what would be usually misinterpreted as disaster. My description was of the world of man’s creating, based in misinterpretation. If you look at things in this way it is rather clearly evident that there is no answer as long as misinterpretation prevails. Things simply go from bad to worse. Whatever anyone does is found to be wrong, so there is apparently an increase of wrongness all around in the misinterpreted world. And all that could really be done, as I indicated, is to play a delaying role in the inevitable culmination of all this misinterpretation, unless someone happened to come along who was willing and interested in discovering what it would mean to interpret all this mass of vibrational factors correctly. Well if one is plugged up with all the elements of misinterpretation there will not be much possibility of discovering what correct interpretation would be.

There is a good deal of sense then in letting the former things pass away. This idea of course, to misinterpreters, looks as though it was inviting disaster. But on the other hand the misinterpretation is inviting disaster anyway, so why not take a chance on changing direction? The correct interpretation of this invisible vibratory mass is not possible as long as one is subject to and struggling with the misinterpretations. Because human reasoning has been based in misinterpretation it has always seemed so reasonable to keep going in the way which has become customary. It is unthinkable, to most of those who have considered the possibility of thinking, that one could relinquish all the mass of misinterpretation that has been accumulated over the millennia. Are we to burn the books? This is considered to be a retrograde step. You must preserve at all costs the misinterpretations that have been made over the ages so that we can multiply misinterpretation now. Of course it is not looked at in that way but that is the way it actually is.

I suppose this business of misinterpretation is like building elaborate castles of sand on the seashore. Some of these castles that people do build on the seashore can be quite impressive—marvelous structures! Then of course the tide comes in and washes it all away. There may have been some seeming satisfaction to the architect and the builder of the sand castle while he was at work, and perhaps admiring his handiwork afterward, at least until the tide came in. Human beings have had a sequence of periods of castle building between tides. It would seem that the tide is coming in again; what shall remain? The intent of the tide, I suppose one might say, is to dispose of the misinterpretations. No matter how magnificent, how beautiful they may seem to be, how long according to human standards they may have existed, the tide comes in. I think from our standpoint we have recognized that it might be more profitable to be associated with the tide than with the sand castles. The tide of course, symbolically, may repre- sent the creative processes, the creative cycles that are at work regardless of human beings. These creative processes and creative cycles have been largely ignored except as the misinterpreters thought they could make use of them to their own advantage. Ultimately of course it was always found that it was really to disadvantage.

Now we ourselves are presumably concerned with the tide. What should this bring forth? The tide is not designed merely to destroy something that mankind may have painstakingly built but to make possible correct interpretation, so that what is brought forth, what is created by reason of that interpretation, may be true to the living design. Now it can be said that there are tides in the living design. We do not have, in the human state, all that much awareness, or information even, as to what those tides really might bring forth. We are aware of the tides as being somewhat creative for a while in our own experience while we are younger, but then, seemingly, they ebb and what was brought forth disintegrates. This is not an example of the way things really work. This is the evidence of misinterpretation. It seems very difficult for human beings, I suppose for us in particular, to relinquish the views that have been so firmly implanted and held, based in all this mass of misinterpretation. If we were to try to get rid of all that I don’t think any of us would live long enough to pick over the pile. So we are aware of a better way. In any case we have no basis for determining what misinterpretations might be the lesser evils and what are the really destructive ones.

We have been aware of a rather practical instruction that has been given, summarized in the two words Let go. This is a matter of awakening. As was emphasized in the tape that was played last night, you don’t have to have an extensive education to know how to wake up in the morning; it comes naturally. As was indicated, it sometimes doesn’t seem quite so natural to get out of bed but it is easy to wake up when the time comes. The time has come for mankind. We have recognized that, because the time came for us. Well we are not exceptional. We may have been more restive in our slumbers and therefore more ready to stir and open our eyes than most, but the same tide is moving for everyone. We are becoming increasingly aware of this fact by reason of the changes that are occurring in the consciousness of people generally. Most are quite unaware of what is happening. They feel anxious and uncertain, fearful perhaps—I’m speaking of those who are approaching the point of awakening—and when they open their eyes and they begin to see something different, something new (and that is a little unnerving at times), they want to find orientation somehow with respect to what it is that is happening. Do we really know what is happening?

I’ve been describing something in terms of interpretation of a vibrational field that is present for everyone, heretofore misinterpreted. And then the misinterpretations have been misinterpreted, ad nauseam. Can we not very easily see what a waste of time it is to judge, to blame, to condemn all the wrong things we think we see? I suppose you could say that there are masses of wrong things because there has been so much misinterpretation for so long. But to struggle with those wrong things, to keep looking at them, to think that somehow or other by this method or that technique we can make them over into right things, is really a quite ridiculous notion. It can’t be done. It is a waste of time. Therefore we may quit the tradition of judgment and see sense in doing so, because we know if we judge we are misinterpreting a misinterpretation. One can go on as long as one happens to last on earth doing that—most people have—but one may also cease and desist, not perhaps because immediately one is aware of what should happen, but one has no space to become aware of what should happen if one is multiplying misinterpretation. And every time one judges, consequently becomes aware of increasing numbers of wrong things to be corrected, one digs one’s grave deeper. I think it is more sensible to dispose of the shovel and stop the nonsense, that there may be space in consciousness for the dawning experience of right interpretation.

Right interpretation is describable also as re-creation. The world has been created the way it is by human beings through their misinterpretation. A genuine world can be created when there are human beings on hand to interpret the vibrational field correctly, but they can’t interpret the vibrational field correctly as long as they are reacting to people and circumstances in the world of misinterpretation. They are identified with the misinterpretation. Every time one judges, one becomes emotionally disturbed by all the wrongs that are present, seemingly—of course this is one’s own interpretation anyway, and that is a misinterpretation, to start with at least—one will be so thoroughly identified with what is passing away that there is nothing else to do but to pass away with it. Those who build sand castles on the seashore are usually intelligent enough to step back when the tide comes in. So there must be a stepping back in the sense of relinquishing these awful human habits, these addictions—the addiction to judgment being paramount.

Why do people become all disturbed and upset and distraught about what they deem to be wrong with their neighbors and with the world in general? Because they are afraid, because fear dominates and there is an endeavor to establish some sort of state of security by trying to nail down the misinterpretations so that they will stay there and one can depend on them. But nowadays what you nailed down yesterday is gone today—no security, because the security certainly isn’t in misinterpretation and it isn’t even in correct interpretation! The security is in being the one who is capable of correct interpretation.

There must be someone on hand to make the correct interpretation. There have been millions and billions of people on hand to make the misinterpretations, this is obviously so. But where is the person who is going to make the correct interpretation? I am that one! Well it is nice to say that. It may make a person feel important. The question arises as to whether one is in position to make the correct interpretation and as to whether one is consequently doing it. We can’t do it if we keep going along with the misinterpretations, repeating and repeating and repeating misinterpretations. Do you ever find the same old things come up in your experience over and over? There is something haywire in you if that happens. No, we are quite capable of acknowledging the supremacy of what may be described by the word truth, [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/thed-supreme-passion.html] so that we are always passionately concerned with the truth. If we are passionately concerned with the truth, which is what makes correct interpretation possible, then we are less and less concerned with misinterpretation, and all the wrongs that are present carry less and less weight. The former things are passing away.

I read in what I wrote yesterday evening how this seems to the human view: inevitable and awful disaster. But is that so to us? Well I suppose if you think of wrongs in terms of nuclear weapons, for instance, then you are likely to be fearful, as a lot of people are. They try to do something about it by reinterpreting misinterpretations. All that needs to happen—it’s really so simple that it has confounded the worldly-wise—is to awaken to the truth and begin to understand that truth, first of all by sensing a new tone in life. We hear the cacophony so prevalent in the world, but there is a new tone of which you have become somewhat aware: something sweet, something strong; it is always present. It cannot be dissipated. One may be deaf to it, but because you don’t hear something doesn’t mean that there isn’t a sound. Incidentally that is one way we interpret this vibrational realm: in sound. But all the interpretations that human beings have made, even the best of them you might say, are misinterpretations.

The glory of true interpretation transcends anything that is present in the world of misinterpretation, no matter how beautiful it may seem in that world. Well we can only discover this as we are aligned, associated, with the truth. And one is aligned and associated only in the true way when truth is what one passionately loves. This is supreme: to speak, to live, the truth—to be oneself. Here is the point of emergence for true interpretation. You begin to see the vibrational field without the interposition of all the misinterpretations. The misinterpretations have been a veil, causing people to imagine that what they see is factual. But what is seen is restricted and distorted, restricted because much more that needs to be seen is excluded from the awareness of the misinterpreter.

To the extent that you have sensed the tone and begun to let this light your path, so to speak, you have begun to see much more than most people see. It was there to be seen but there was no ability to see it. Now there is a rising up: Come up hither, come up to a new perspective, so that what heretofore has been outside of the range of the old perspective may come into your awareness. There is a filling in and you discover that this vibrational field is far more extensive and capable of being interpreted correctly than was previously possible. It was beyond comprehension before, when all that was happening was agreement with misinterpretation. Now we begin to see more. How about what we have been sharing now? You can move with what we have been sharing according to your own awareness, your own level of wakefulness, but presumably you wouldn’t be here if there wasn’t some level of wakefulness. However you also know that there are vast numbers of people who could not move with this because it is beyond their comprehension. They are trapped in the realm of misinterpretation, and people are swayed this way and that way in the realm of misinterpretation. The media have become expert in this, but it isn’t only the media. The media couldn’t do anything unless everybody went along with it. Come up hither, not only see with a new perspective but, hearing the tone of life resounding, live accordingly—live accordingly because your passion is for the truth: the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2021/03/passion-for-kingbe-holy-be-perfect-be.html] People mouth these words, but now you begin to know what they mean, so that the weight you may heretofore have given to misinterpretations around you is simply given no more. And when you stop misinterpreting you start recreating.

There is a new world, then, emerging because of you being unveiled, as the former things—in your own consciousness first of all—start to carry less weight, to be less meaningful, to be less worthy of your attention. And finally they pass away in favor of the true interpretation which is coming forth in your own experience, a new creation because of each individual.

We know that it is beyond each individual too, because we have something together as a body and it requires that body to have creative effect within the whole consciousness of mankind. But we see, finally I trust, that nothing can prevent the former things from passing away. They are going! The only question for us as individuals is as to whether we are going with them, or whether we are going to be on hand as genuine people, unveiled by the passing of the former things. And it is factual: “Behold, I make all things new.” Each one may say that and speak truly if each one is the truth, the one who interprets correctly. Behold, I make all things new because I interpret all things as they should be.

So this morning we have shared in part of the process of re-creation. Let us not imagine that it should stop here. The buck may stop here. It is our responsibility, but I trust we will be alive enough to move out of this room and continue to provide what is necessary of a correct interpretation by which all things are made new.
