For This I Have Abandoned All My Other Lives
David Barnes Salmon Arm, B.C. April / May, 2025
I’m very much aware that we're still in the closing hours of this most recent Easter cycle. Maybe the Easter cycle is larger than just what happens annually. Uranda called this period that we're in right now, that the whole body of humanity is in right now, This Great Easter Day Of The Ages.
Reference to Easter, and the experiences that the Master went through, these were called the period of His Passion. This Great Easter Day of the Ages could be described as a Day of Passion. We call it the spiritual expression level of being, referencing the opportunity that was opened by the Master Jesus, responsibility for which was bequeathed to His disciple John, to carry in leadership and focalization throughout his life after the Master left. John’s responsibility was to carry forward and open more substantially the spiritual expression level, in a way that would have an impact throughout the subsequent 2000-year period, and beyond. That brings us to the present moment of opportunity. We have come to understand that it is spiritual expression that purifies the heart. Spirit from above, the higher vibrational levels, expressed through a heart that's open in that direction in daily life, while we are incarnate on earth, maintains clearly in motion the cycle of purification of the heart of humanity in this Great Easter Day of the Ages.
This is my passion. For this I have abandoned all my other lives—lives of conventional, self-involved ego-preoccupation. There is no other life, but the life of this Day of spiritual expression which has been on the move for over 2,000 years. It was brought to focus in a conscious way once more in 1932 by Uranda, and carried all the way through until 1988 by Martin. At that point, something very new opened in this Great Day. There was the beginning emergence of a solid body of people, into whose hands the continuing stewardship of the creative cycle was placed. That, in this period of time, is our responsibility—along with quite a number of others who, in many ways, are vibrationally here with us right now. Some of them are giving services elsewhere around the world—different patterns, and all of them are working within the passion of this Great Easter Day of the Ages. Passion relates to the heart. Something is dramatically changing in my heart, relative to the substance of my heart, the texture of it, the quality of it, the content of it, what moves within it. I'm sure that that is so for you too. I think it's well to give attention to the heart.
Something has been clearing in consciousness and in the feeling realm, and that becomes quite evident as we look back over the cycles of time. We recognize that the Melchizedek Priesthood has been present throughout; and it is the focal points in this Priesthood that brought forth the Third Sacred School and Emissaries of Divine Light in this Day in which we are here to serve together—present back then, present through the intervening years, and present now through us and others.
We remember in Genesis where it says that in the beginning, on the Sixth Day, man was created. It took 25,000 years, a Grand Age, to create mankind, so that on the Seventh Day God above could leave things to God-Man and God-Woman below to steward the cycles of creation as they relate to this planet, along with the other eleven planets. We remember that twelve groups of God Beings went out to create twelve worlds, and this is one of those worlds where the God Beings are responsible for the ongoing creation of this planet. We are among those God Beings here now in this Age, this cycle wherein the consciousness of man is being restored to the consciousness of God-man and God-woman. We are not yet in the Sixth Day of the recreative cycle. We are in the Third Day, the spiritual expression level.
In this Third Day, we clearly perceive essences coming out of the east, out of the New Heaven, out of the Fourth Dimension, through the pure heart—one could say emerging out of the Fourth Sacred School—which has not yet been established on earth, but which essences are available as the heart continues to be purified. They're available to be sensed and activated. We are reminded that we as a Priesthood Body have been here throughout the Ages—as have the other members of the human family who are not specifically here to function as part of that Priesthood Body, but who have other functions within the Body as a whole. So much depends upon the clear heart and mind and the active, engaged Presence of each Priest and Priestess in this Sacred Order. Such clarity and stability is required to participate creatively in this work. We can look with wonder at everything that's going on in this phase of integration that is strongly underway, because the heart is being clarified and purified. And we're not just in the beginning stages of that movement either. Substantial expression of Spirit has allowed a considerable degree of purification to occur. Our friend Yujin Pak wrote to me recently from Seoul, South Korea, emphasizing that: “The creative process is increasingly moving at the speed of light.” I agree.
During the intensity of this recent Easter season, going back through the whole month of April from my standpoint, powerful currents of Spirit have been on the move in this developing Christ Body. And when strong Spirit moves, as it has over these past several weeks, there's also a strong returning cycle. We remember that when our Master faced the returning cycles during His life on earth, He said that the prince of this world cometh and findeth nothing in me. I don't know how it's been for you in the returning cycle consequent upon the intensification that has occurred over this Easter period, but I'm sure all of us, in one way or another, have examined what's been rising in our own heart. It doesn't matter what rises really, but we all have a chance to handle it in the same Spirit that the Master did: the prince of this world cometh and findeth nothing in me. I don't know about you, but I can't say that relative to this Easter period. I know that the prince of this world came and found something in me that needed to be dissolved. And that's a wonderful thing. This will continue as we move along together in the cycles of integration.
I want to say something about the Victory Pattern of the Ages. If we think of the First Sacred School as it is actually present now, we have called it the physical level of being—the New Heaven and the New Earth, the Spirit and the Substance of the New Earthg—the First Seal. This is the First Sacred School in the process of restoration on earth right now, and it relates to the Spirit and the Substance of the New Earth. We have a responsibility for wrapping our arms around it, loving and tending and keeping and caring for it all. It refers to that which actually has been done, that has brought spiritual substance home during this Great Easter Day—absolutely home. It is no longer in the process of coming home—it is home. It is within the Gates of the Kingdom. It is reclaimed New Earth substance. It is here and it is to remain home, and to go no more forth. It is not to be scattered. And that is our responsibility. It is my responsibility, to be sure that that which is under my hand, as it relates to the Spirit and Substance of the New Earth, essences and substances of the First Sacred School in this Day, are loved and tended and cared for.
The Second Sacred School that is active now relates to the Spirit and Substance of the Single Eye—the Second Seal—a new quality of mind substance, still, tranquil, clear and focused—Lucifer restored to heaven on earth. New and refined substance of consciousness is drawn home and it stays home, absolutely under the control and care of the God Being incarnate and awake in the individual body temple, and in the Temple of the Whole, the Temple of Light of which we are a part—our responsibility, you and me.
And now we come to the Third Sacred School active now, this which relates to the Spirit and the Substance of Blessing—the Third Seal—the blessing of Spirit present and in expression through you and me and others. Never underestimate the power of spiritual expression. We have a realization of what is happening now, and spirit in expression everywhere is transforming everything, even my heart, right now. This substance has come home, and it stays home under my hand of care—it is within our field of stewardship responsibility.
And then we come to what we would call the Fourth Sacred School. I don't think very much can be said about that. We're going to have to live it, and walk through the days that allow it to be opened once again through this Spiritual Body, within the New Heaven and the New Earth substances that come home and stay home, in the cycles yet to unfold in a full way through the body of mankind, including whoever that proves to be when it happens. But there are essences of the Fourth Sacred School coming into consciousness right now, and they relate to purity of heart—this sea of glass clear as crystal. Here is the Spirit and Substance of Purity, the Pure Heart—the Fourth Seal. It isn't so much the Spirit of Purification, as though it's me being purified; it is the Spirit and Substance of Purity, a clear field wherein purified substance has come home and it stays home, under my care, under our stewardship. Perhaps we know just this much about the essences of the Fourth.
Because we let our action in living be through this pure heart substance, we also know that nothing of judgment can be imposed upon these pure heavenly essences. None of the coarse spirits of the old heaven and the old world can be allowed to defile these pure heavenly essences. No personal opinions, human nature opinions, are allowed. No personal preferences, human nature preferences, can function and operate in these realms. So if there's a mixture in consciousness we know that one relates to the old and one relates to the new, and it is best to let the old pass away.
There is one central Supreme Presence that is known within this Clear and Pure and Holy Realm: the One Who is LORD of ALL. There is here, now, the One we have called the KING of the Kingdom. Within these essences of the Fourth Dimension, the Spirit and the Substance of the Fourth Sacred School that is felt and known now in the pure heart, there is always a clear and reverent consciousness of the KING of the Kingdom, and of the QUEEN—and the Household of the KING and the QUEEN, and the Court of the KING and the QUEEN. There is the Government of the KING of the Kingdom, the focal points, the Ministers and Priests functioning within this Realm, responsible to the KING of the Kingdom. And there are the educational processes within the field of responsibility of the Priesthood in the Kingdom. All of this is clearly present, and developing on earth as it is in heaven.
Any translations of all of these things in the realms of unpurified, unclarified spirit and substance cannot be brought across this borderline into the Kingdom. And if they are maintained in this little area in between, this temporary and intervening crossover space provided during the cycles of restoration, maintained with any degree of intensity, the person who so maintains is ejected immediately. Because this is a realm of passion, a heart feeling realm rightly activated by the Pure Spirit of the LORD, if that passion connects up with human nature opinions and preferences and feelings and judgments, out you go, and the individual finds himself or herself outside of what was beginning to be known before as a Pure and Holy Realm. So these are some thoughts about essences of the Fourth moving with assurance into consciousness as it relates to us, as we continue to function at the level of the spiritual expression plane, the Third Day, this Great Easter Day.
There is one other thing to note. As Melchizedek came about 4,000 years ago to open the First Sacred School through His guidance and exchange with Abraham, and Isaac and Jacob; and as He assisted in bringing Moses to a consciousness of I Am That I Am, and of I Am, so did Melchizedek come again 2,000 years ago in the form of the Master Jesus. And here we are now, functioning within the Third Plane responsibility that was passed from Melchizedek through Jesus to the Beloved disciple John—with awareness that the God Being incarnate as John came again in this Great Easter Day as Uranda; and now the mantle of responsibility has been passed to those of the Priesthood in this developing Christ Body. So Melchizedek is very much present with us in Spirit and in Substance right now, guiding this Third Phase that we are in. And when it comes to the Fourth Sacred School, it won't open because some human being decides, “Oh, the Fourth Sacred School is now open on earth; we've moved well beyond the First, the Second, and the Third, and now here we are in the Fourth, so we can let all those former schools go.” No, the Fourth will be opened in a right way by very specific God Beings, focal points who will initiate that work at the appointed time, with those who are living on earth at that point, because the Spirit and the Substance of heart and spiritual expression and mind and body has been cleansed and cleared adequately to let that happen when it happens. Such things are governed with precision by specific God Beings, in accord with Cosmic Cycles.
So we can sense some of this and be filled with thanksgiving for the opportunity to live and serve now, and be Friends of the LORD here and now, and colleagues working together on earth, friends of each other, letting the pattern of integration that is well underway prove itself out, as to how it will ultimately manifest in the world of form, in the days to come. This is what we are doing together. We are people who are moving in various levels of conscious and subconscious attunement in the Spirit and Substance of this Great Easter Day of the Ages. So, we continue to let passion for the things of heaven and of the Spirit be expressed between us, and made available to all people who are responsive enough to receive it.
“Return unto me and I will return unto you... Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”
