I Am Not Aloof From My Creation
Martin Exeter February 9, 1986 a.m.
Hear the word of the spirit spoken now, in this moment: I am not aloof from my creation, either the seemingly vast cosmos or the one called man. I am present on earth through my chosen ones. These have not chosen me; I have chosen them, and sent them, that they might bring forth fruit of heaven and that their fruit might remain in the fulfilment of my purposes. My chosen ones reveal the fact that they are chosen; likewise those who are not my chosen ones reveal that fact. Any who suppose that they have a choice are either not my chosen ones, or have not yet proven that they are.
These words, I am sure, we all understand. In the 24th chapter of Matthew mention is made of the elect. These are the chosen ones. These are of heaven, and have elected to do what is creatively needful on earth. Most human hearts and minds imagine that they have a choice. They are deceived. The choice has already been made. It is simply a matter for human minds and hearts to become aware of the choice that has already been made. In that process of becoming aware it may seem that various choices are being made, but what seem to be choices are merely compulsions arising through the heart, the subconscious mind, to reveal the nature of the choice that has already been made. There may be a period for some when that choice seems to be a mixture. We ourselves are concerned with letting any remaining mixture be cleared away, so that the choice, already made, is clear. What has already been chosen from heaven reveals that fact, and cannot do otherwise. Likewise, what arises from the earth reveals itself.
Here is an inexorable creative process at work which cannot be stayed or prevented. Are there any here present who still imagine that they have a choice? That is indeed vain imagination. But the choice that has already been made will certainly be revealed. For those who are the elect, that revelation, mentally and emotionally, is simply an established fact. As it was put, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you.” It was also indicated that there would arise false prophets and false Christs who, if it were possible, would deceive the very elect, would deceive the chosen ones—the chosen ones who have been present on earth to accommodate the expression of the angels who have been sent. Accommodating that expression, of course, the angel is known. If that angelic expression occupies mind and heart, mind and heart know it. If it doesn’t, they don’t.
Humanly speaking, there may be an endeavor to reveal the qualities of heaven in living, to be loyal and true, to be nonreactive and understanding; but if this is the effort, sooner or later it will be proven to be futile. If such attitudes are assumed and maintained, it is indication of the fact that the minds and hearts concerned have not yet accommodated the One who has been sent, or have rejected the One who has been sent. A conscious awareness of the One who has been sent, the One I am, for each, comes, as we have recognized mentally at least, because the conscious mind has been restored to heaven and therefore is available to bear the light of the truth. If the conscious mind is not in heaven, there is no way by which the light of truth may be born, so any effort to do so in the earthly state is futile and indeed blasphemous.
There are many good people on earth who diligently attempt to accomplish the impossible. Mentally and emotionally we either reach the point where we become aware that there is no mental or emotional effort required to experience the truth, or we do not experience the truth and existence remains a struggle, and it remains quite apparent to heart and mind that the way isn’t easy and the burden isn’t at all light If anyone has that experience, either there has not yet been an awakening to the truth or there has been a steadfast denial of the truth. As we move along we are going to find out which, and no one should be surprised when they find out.
This process is at work through everyone, but it comes to a peak, one might say, through certain ones. Eventually it emerges through all. But something must be proven out by reason of those who have had a special opportunity, like unto ourselves. So we discover who is genuine and who is not—no need for judgment, no need to imagine that one already knows what shall be made apparent. In fact if one assumes such an attitude at any point it is most revealing of one’s own state. Where there is clarity, where the conscious mind abides in heaven, the light is carried and there is no incentive even to judge. Let it prove itself out. It is going to anyway.
So we may accept individually for ourselves the moving creative process by which the fact is proven. The proof comes in one’s awareness of being chosen. Having been chosen, there is obviously no choice. So all this wondering after the beast, which puts in an appearance from time to time in mind and heart, ceases, and mind and heart may say, “Now I know”— not because this knowing originates in themselves but because there is one present who speaks those words, “Now I know because my mind and heart accommodate me, and I am present in the flesh on earth.” This, as we recognize, is the emergence of the focus of spirit out of heaven into the earth. And it all comes because Lucifer is restored. Lucifer is once more conscious in heaven. By the way, that is not satan restored. Lucifer in the earth is satan; Lucifer in the heaven is Lucifer.
The conscious mind was not created for self-activated reasoning. Satan is the one revealing this state of self-activated reasoning. It is all thought to be very logical and, in fact, the purpose for a conscious mind. But it isn’t. Satan is very busy with all his reasonings, all his figurings. Knowledge is increased in consequence, but it is all based in a fallacy. It is all based in a false purpose. I am sure all of us, and everybody else, whether deliberately or by default, have assumed that our conscious minds were available to indulge in what they have imagined was logic and reason. This is based in a false premise. For one thing, the conscious mind was not created for that purpose in the earth; it is not supposed to be in the earth anyway, rather in the heaven—and, for another, because such supposed logic and reason result from a reaction to the earth. It is imagined that by an examination of the earth in this logical and reasonable way all mysteries can be removed. Does it really look as though this is happening? More knowledge, yes, but less ability to operate intelligently on earth. There isn’t a conscious mind within the body of mankind which, these days, would not be inclined to say that there is a vast amount of insanity on earth.
The conscious mind was not created to be in the earth, nor to reason and follow out its logical thought in reaction to the earth and earthly things. We need to see this, because I’m sure that satan is still quite busy around in our own experience, imagining that by these processes of logic and reason, analysis and all the rest, mysteries can be unveiled, the answers to problems can be found. It is all delusion, it is all a deception, because the conscious mind was not created to be in the earth, and so was not created to indulge itself in these reactionary processes of logic and reason. As long as it is indulging in this it remains trapped in the earth and remains subject to the dominance of the irrational subconscious mind. How could it be supposed that out of the irrational could come rationality?
So we are concerned to relinquish this. It is an arrogant stance anyway to suppose that all the mysteries of life can be solved, unveiled, by the conscious mind utilizing what it deems to be logic and reason. It has seemed such an impossible thing that any conscious mind could be relieved of this necessity; what otherwise are we here present on earth for? Well certainly not all this which has produced the deplorable state on earth. But the deception is very strong still, isn’t it, not only with the academic or scientific fraternity, but in everyone. Satan has certainly ruled, and it seems that there can be developed a rationale—it is the last thing it is—by which the triumph of satan is assured. Insofar as the attitude of satan is concerned it seems to be a foolproof system which finally leads to the dominance of satan in a very direct, and one might say dictatorial way, both internally and externally, for all human beings on earth. There is that in the offing, in Satan’s view.
And satan, although present in all people, does come to focus somewhere, through this person and that person of special note in satan’s eyes. This happens from generation to generation, so that ultimately it may be seen that it is not merely because of some manifest human being. This is where satan seeks to direct attention, so that somebody can be seen as being this great evil, or a group of people, whatever, a system, or something else in external form, so that there may be conflict. There may be those who, seeing this vast evil that is assailing the world—as though it hadn’t been doing it all along—identify existing human beings as being the authors of this terrible thing. Then one can get into a battle with them. And that is exactly what satan wants. What is it, divide and conquer? War. There has always been war on earth for this reason. And one can be so righteous in one’s warring: We must destroy this great evil which is embodied in this person. Maybe it is embodied in that person, but not only in that person; and by destroying that person it doesn’t destroy the evil, it doesn’t destroy satan. It merely destroys an instrument and nothing has changed, because there are countless other instruments, about five billion of them on earth! So what futility.
There is certainly a great deception, isn’t there, when it is imagined that one can locate the black hats, don a white hat oneself and destroy the black hats! Nothing has changed, because the destructive action was satan’s compulsion just as surely as the supposed evil that was being destroyed. So, as I say, satan has a foolproof system, in his own eyes anyway. But he is the fool, because the assumption is that there is nothing outside of what human beings do and how they behave. We have become aware of the fact of heaven, where the conscious mind belongs. To be in heaven, it needs to get out of the earth which satan has created, stop being deceived by that. The deception is always being made apparent by the attitude of judgment. In heaven, no judgment. There is nothing to judge; everything is the way it should be. On earth there is always plenty to judge, and it is by this means that the conscious mind is bound on earth, and consequently of course it is bound in heaven—it can’t get there. So until it is loosed on earth from this state of judgment it can’t be loosed in heaven.
This state of judgment can be supported by all kinds of reasoning and logic on the part of the conscious mind in the earth—right, because everybody has done it: “Of course! This is wrong. I know it is wrong because of this and this and this.” Well one can get around that, I suppose, by saying, “Everything in the earth is wrong; therefore what is the point of judging it?” It is merely comparing gray to gray anyway. Some people like a bluish-gray, and other people like another kind of gray, and so everybody is in conflict with everybody else. There is division, there is separation, there is death. So let the conscious mind be raised up into heaven. Then the conscious mind certainly may take the attitude, “I will not judge. No matter how certain the judgment seems to be, I will not judge. I will let it alone. I belong in heaven.” Then the accuser is cast down, satan is cast down, is relinquished; the conscious mind in the earth is relinquished. It isn’t a matter of changing the conscious mind in the earth; it is just letting the conscious mind come into heaven, that’s all. And in heaven there is Lucifer; in the earth there is satan.
So we awaken consciously in heaven as the chosen ones, the elect. There is much yet to take place on earth of a very unpleasant nature in the human sense. Okay, that’s the way it is, and no effort on the part of individual satanic imps can prevent it. There is no need to prevent it. If it was not for the elect no flesh could be saved, but because the elect are present the rule of satan comes to an end. The question arises of course insofar as one individually is concerned: “Would that be an end to me? because I still entertain satan in my judgments, in my reasonable and logical judgments”— “I am so right,” so satan says—or do we relinquish all that? We could even just smile benignly, when we become aware of these conflicts: “Oh, is that so? What has this to do with me? I am in heaven, and my conscious mind becomes aware of this fact.” Then the conscious mind has a use in heaven, but it certainly isn’t for self-activated reasoning and logic. The reasoning and the logic springs out of spirit, and the conscious mind becomes aware of it; that’s all. It doesn’t have to invent it for itself; it simply accommodates it and rejoices in the fact that it is so marvelous, all encompassing. Everything that needs to be known and understood is known and understood, but by the same token everything that doesn’t need to be known and understood is not understood and known.
There is a new process. The elect are gathered by the angels, you may recall, according to the record at least the way it is put here in the 24th chapter of Matthew, “from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” The four winds simply indicate participation in the creative process, where the four forces are in operation. And all of heaven is encompassed by reason of the elect. This happens on earth. The process is obvious. It is easy. It is very simple insofar as the conscious mind is concerned. All that is required of the conscious mind is to be in heaven, to relinquish its frantic endeavors out of heaven in the earth, and to let satan remain in the earth. No doubt satan will be active mentally in many, but not in the elect. There Lucifer is, bearing the light—not originating the light not originating the processes of logic and reason, but simply accommodating the process of spirit in action. That is impossible without the conscious mind being in heaven. It can’t be done in the earth. It is ultimately done in the earth because the conscious mind is in heaven, and heaven and earth are one. So it happens in the earth too, but it didn’t originate in the earth. It didn’t originate because of the reaction of the conscious mind to the things that are going on in the earth. The origination was in spirit, and the processes of logic and reason originating there are based in a true premise.
When the conscious mind becomes aware of this process, what a wonderful thing! No more sweat of the brow. It is moved by the flow from the fountain. Do you remember something about that? No effort, certainly no cranking anymore. So let the conscious mind abide in heaven. And as that is true of ourselves, and whoever else, it is finished; the job is done. It is known that I am not aloof from my creation.
