Heavenly Consciousness

Heavenly  Consciousness

Lillian Exeter   Sunrise Ranch  May 15, 1988

What needs to be said in these days? What are the words to express the living Word through each one of us? What is really needed in any moment? Always there is need for thanksgiving, thanksgiving for the Supreme One’s presence with us, thanksgiving for the privilege of life here on earth. And I would also express thanksgiving for all of you, and for many more who share the living Word with us in these awesome days.

 

We have spoken of life as having substance, we have spoken of the fact that we generate substance. Now I think life has lots of its own substance; it manifests in a myriad of ways which we don’t seemingly have much to do with: a tree, a flower. Yet we do have a responsibility in this field, and we have been doing something for quite a few decades now. I noted in one of the printed mailings recently, of Martin’s, where he was pointing out that for many years it seemed there was always dissipation of this substance that had been generated, so we had to continually regenerate, live more, let there be specific generation of substance, needed here in this earth right now. I think the substance of the cosmos is doing very well; I see the stars, I see the moon and the planets. I think that substance seems to be just fine. But where is the substance of our living, of our own true living? Without it, I suspect we’d be pretty much a skeleton walking around, if indeed a skeleton can walk around.

 

We have come to a point where there is some strength known in living. We do have substance individually and collectively, this love substance that binds us together, that causes us to be as one. Isn’t it interesting—it always has been almost amazing to me—that a few hundred of us can be in a room like this and speak of oneness and know it is true? There are many thousands of people gathered in different rooms in the world, and there is such a feeling of aloneness and separateness, and heartache and sadness and sorrow. They know not the Lord; they know not oneness. And yet here we are. My consciousness can speak through my words to you and you understand, and you could speak to me and I would understand, because of this true generation of substance through our living.

 

You could say, “Well we’ve proven something.” Yes, but what have we proven? I think we’ve proved that again there are people on earth who are willing to yield to the incorruptible spiritual focus on earth, absolutely, and let it be all the way down to one’s toes and all the way up to the top of the head and all the way out to the fingertips, and be absolutely a yielded human being again, on earth, free, free in that yielding, free in the love that is known. 

Am I afraid to lose freedom? What freedom?! Have I known freedom in the human world, in the human-nature world? There are prisons there, of heart and mind, of thought and feelings. The freedom is in the true worship of the Supreme One. Now that could be a paradox to the human mind: one releases oneself, yields oneself, to a supreme being of spirit and one is free? We are free in life. We are free to express life. We are free to love, free to walk and meet friend to friend, free to choose our momentary behavior.
 

I have been thinking of that, behavior, because we all behave every day. I mean, we all do something, don’t we, every day? I don’t think anyone just goes into a little shell like the new chick, and sits there, doesn’t behave, doesn’t do anything. We all have some kind of behavior, and we are free to choose, in that sense, the characteristics, the qualities, of that behavior, the spirit that moves through it by reason of motivation, true motivation, of life. 

To understand, to know ourselves, is freedom. To know what caused us to walk this way for years with Martin is privilege indeed, is blessing indeed, not just to ourselves personally, but to all who will come to share in the expression of true being. What takes the place of the true understanding in my heart? Nothing. What can cause it to be gone? Nothing, unless I dissipate substance in the behavior of my living. And we would have none of that, ever again. One could say we have come too far; we have yielded ourselves, we have put ourselves on the altar, as it were. There is no other place for us. 

We don’t belong in the world as it is. We belong in God’s world. We belong in the heavenly atmosphere, the heavenly consciousness, and I rejoice with you to be in that, to have that heavenly consciousness. From there can proceed anything that needs to be made into form, needs to manifest, needs to be created on earth. So we stand in this radiant position, the radiance of love, of light. Let that increase because I live. Let that increase because you live.
 

Perhaps sometimes we have accepted something inferior: “Oh well, it’s good enough.” It’s never good enough when that attitude is around. There is only one thing that is good enough: the perfect expression, the availability of the pure, free capacities. And then we know life and all its components.

 

Why should we know health? That relates to this purified capacity, heart and mind and body. Well there is only one reason to be healthy: To let a true creative expression of life be known, to acknowledge the Supreme One—so that we might do what we need to do here on earth. And when there is health of body, mind and heart, those capacities are absolutely the Lord’s, are the Supreme One’s. They are not ours. And the living Word proceeds through them because we let them be yielded. 

I love the word absolute, that Martin was using for a year or two of late. The emphasis was on absoluteness. His own expression of life always carried that. And so must ours, and we do it joyfully and gladly, yielded to the spirit of the Lord, to the Supreme One.

Expanded Differentiation

Chain  Pattern  Extending  from  the  Center  of  Being

from  The Expanded Differentiation of Being

Uranda   July 9, 1954  Class

 

I would like to consider briefly the pattern of expanded differentiation in relationship to being and the expression of being: If we can even dimly conceive the centering of the cosmos as the central Sun of suns, the basic point around which all being revolves, and recognize the reality of the central reality of God, we can realize that in the sense of vibratory components, which we might more easily imagine in the sense of weight, that central point must equal the vibratory components of the whole cosmos; we can begin to realize that whatever there is in the cosmos—including all the universes of which we are aware, constellations, etc—is an expanded differentiation of that which is contained at the central point. And insofar as the vibrational components are concerned, the weight factor must balance in relationship to that central point of being, which is beyond the immediate comprehension of man, and that which we know, as well as that which we do not know, with respect to the cosmos as a whole.

This means then that, beginning at the central point, we have in essence all things that are, and it is impossible for even God to create something in the body of the cosmos, or in this solar system or in some other solar system, that is not first established in the vibrational pattern of being at the center of being. And the manifestation of the solar system or a planet in the solar system or that which is created upon the planets, as we have ours here, must be an expanded differentiation of that which is already established in this central factor of being, and it is brought into enlarged or magnified manifestation here.

 

We think of tiny things as being less than we are, and yet we have recognized in our study of the human body that if it were compressed to a point of absolute solid, you could hardly see it, with the naked eye, as a speck on the head of a pin. The physical body through which you express is mostly space. So it is easy for you to begin to realize that you as a human being are in fact an expanded differentiation of being, and the centralized factor out of which you are made manifest in a direct sense we speak of as the Lord within, or the Father within, or the God Being. But that God Being is, as it were, a tiny speck in the body of God, which in turn is a differentiated expanded manifestation on a higher level of that which is contained in the centering of being at the central Sun of suns.

Now this that is the centering of being is exceedingly great and exceedingly vast, exceedingly wonderful, but it is the concentration of all real heaviness and of the seed factors of all beings and all things. The differentiation which orginates there must expand outward through the universe into the solar system, through the solar system into the planets, and so come into manifestation in relationship to the created things which appear upon the face of the planets. Once we begin to have even a vague vision of this basic pattern of being, we begin to see that men, mankind, men and women, were originally created to make possible an expanded differentiation in manifestation at this level of God; not that man was supposed to be something apart from God, but that man himself should be the magnifying glass, as it were, by which God might be seen in expanded differentiated manifestation on a basis that would be meaningful to this realm of creation.

That which expands out from us, expresses through us, always originates at a point, the point from which the expression of being radiates, and any given expression of being has a specific potential which establishes in the ultimate sense its periphery of manifestation. Within the scope of this periphery we have that which is the manifest form and expression through form of this particularized point of being. This applies to you as a human being as much as it applies to God at any level wherein God is revealed or made manifest, clear back to the centering of the cosmos.

 

Now your mind may suggest to you that this sounds deep and difficult, but it is not. It is simple, for if we have a point which has within it in concentrated form that which cannot be seen readily with a particular form of vision, and we cause that given point to expand outward in all directions within the scope of a circle, and this circle is to represent the periphery of influence in relationship to the point of being at the center, everything that is contained within the circle outside of the point is in minute form contained within the point itself. In order to make the point meaningful at a level other than that which is natural to the point itself, we must have a differentiated expansion of being and form extending outward, so that the point is magnified and given a larger pattern of being, form, and expression or right activity. This enlarged pattern is the realm of your environment, or the sphere of your influence, and you, at the point, are supposed to be the magnifying glass by which the centering of deity in you is caused to be seen in the realm of your being, the range of your influence.

You as a human being must be the expanded differentiation in the enlarged field by which God is seen, known, revealed and allowed to act on a basis of the laws and principles and will, or intelligent determinations, which originate at the point within you. For you, made in the image and likeness of God, are in fact an expanded differentiation of that which centers your being, in the sense of your own God Being. Your God Being is an extension of another centering, so that your God Being is in actual fact an expanded differentiation, in the sense of being and expression, of that which is contained at the center around which your God Being revolves.

That centering of being, as far as we are concerned in this Whole Holy World, is the One who was made manifest as Jesus Christ, the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings. So we see Him as the centering of being which must be allowed expanded differentiation within the scope of His realm if He is to have meaning in His realm. He does have this expanded differentiation, with consequent meaning, in what we call heaven, or the invisible realm. There the extension on the basis of the expanded differentiation has not been spoiled, it has not been made chaotic, it has not been distorted, and consequently is beautiful, the manifestation of true being at a level which cannot be seen with physical perception, visually speaking. This, then, that is of the point of being with respect to the whole has natural expanded differentiation through the God Being. But there is a centering of being in you that belongs to God Being, which we speak of as your God Being, or your Father within, or your Lord within. And while this point is an expanded differentiation of the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, and everything that is in this point which is your own God Being is contained in essence in the seed sense in the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, you as a human being, if you are to be true to God and true to your own purpose in life, must be an expanded differentiation of your own God Being, an extension of your own God Being in magnified form and function, so magnified that it may be seen and known and perceived, understood, right here on earth. 

Now that is the chain pattern extending from the center of being in the cosmos to you and through you, and if we do not violate that chain pattern, we are in attunement with God. If we do violate that pattern in this sphere between the human form and the God Being, we are not, to that degree at least, in attunement with God, and that which finds differentiated expanded expression through us is not of God. But if we have not violated this chain principle in our relationship with God, we are in attunement with God, the spirit of God is working through us, and the expanded differentiation of the God Being is revealed in the living as it expresses through the human form or human being which you are. The principle of the expanded expression of being through man is actually a revelation of deity in practical function on earth.

Transcendent Significance of the Mailings

Transcendent  Significance  of  the  Mailings

Martin Exeter   August 26, 1986

 

Central  Council  Sessions

There is something far more significant here than has been seen as yet insofar as the mailings are concerned. It is not just a matter of the significance of the words and the spirit in which the words are spoken, and one’s ability to read the pages and to understand, to whatever degree, what it is that is being said. That is one aspect of significance. But there is another significance entirely which has tended to be overlooked—even though there have been those who have participated in the process, but without clearly understanding why they were doing it. 

We used an analogy the other day of a magnet, and I think we could use it again to begin to comprehend exactly what it is that we are participating in here by reason of the mailing list. Everybody should be aware there must be some significance, because this is something that has permeated this ministry right from the word go—it’s always been there. And if there is a casual attitude towards it, obviously a person is quite ignorant as to what it is that is really taking place. We used the magnet as an analogy, but I would rather speak of an electromagnet in this regard. 

There is a core of metallic substance which is magnetized by reason of the coils which are around that substance and the current which flows through the coils. Then the magnet is magnetized and the lines of force are present—and what needs to happen, in this analogy, may happen. The field is present, and if there is substance which will form on the field then that substance will form. 

We have a complete picture then: there is the magnet, which is magnetized by reason of the coils through which the current is flowing; and there is then the field, and the field becomes visible because substance forms on the lines of force, which are themselves invisible. There is a visible aspect to the magnet; there is the core, there are the coils. There is an invisible aspect of the magnet, which is the magnetic field within the magnet, and the current which is flowing through the coils—that’s the invisible part of it. For it to work, there must be a visible part as well as an invisible part. 

We are aware that our bodies and minds and hearts are the visible facility by which whatever is required may occur, and we are seeing it in the symbol of this magnet. The flow through the coils around the magnet relates to what is happening in the core. We ourselves are participating in this core. The mineral substance of the magnet is our own flesh bodies. Of course flesh bodies are not of much account unless there is some current moving through them—they must be alive, in other words. We see being alive as a lot more than merely the fact that the heart is beating and we’re still breathing—that could be the case if we were in a coma. It is the matter of the life flowing through the facilities of mind and heart, which are the coils, which magnetizes the physical form, which generates the magnetic field. There is a very specific process, very beautifully designed, which we can describe in this sort of terms.

 

The current that flows through the coils is, rightly, the pure current of the Spirit of Life, which is characterized by Love and Truth. We have a symbol of this which allows it to be brought to a very specific point, in the consciousness of all concerned, in what we describe as the mailings. Here the current is flowing through these mailings. There must have been at least one coil to start with for that to occur; and this induces it in other coils that come into the vicinity, until there begins to be a resonance together which opens the door for the flow of Life to be full and free. You can look at this from the viewpoint of attunements as well. We are looking at it from the standpoint of the mailings—the reason why the mailings have always been there. They have provided the current which induces the current; and the induced current in all the various coils that are available opens the door for the actual flow of the Life Force. This is what engenders the creative field of the magnet, because it first engenders a creative field in the magnet, and that then extends beyond the magnet. This is a very simplified portrayal through a fairly accurate symbol.

The mailings have provided this flow in which all could participate in a very focused way. There is something very specific about the current that was released in this fashion—and it gave the opportunity for those who were willing to participate in the flow of the current to begin to do so in a very focused way, so as to keep it moving through the coils.

 

There is the possibility certainly for this current to leave the coils. People splatter their Life Force all over the place. And one of the reasons for this current moving through the mailings is to bring it all back into the coil and not have it flowing here and there, achieving absolutely nothing. It only begins to achieve something when it’s in the coil. The mailings have provided the focus for the current which rightly should be moving in the moment through the coil, which is one’s own mind and heart. If it moves through the mind and heart it moves through the body, because they are not separate. So there is the magnet, there is the current moving through the coils, so that the whole body of magnet and coils put together is magnetized and then begins to be alive—because this current is the current of Life.

 

Because there are those who let this happen, who have a vision and awareness in this regard, and they wouldn’t break that current for anything, there begins to be a stable creative field—the lines of force upon which this substance which is capable of participating in the creative field will form. It doesn’t form, really, because of one’s own mind and heart which were so brilliant they were going to persuade this person or that person that they should participate in or back up the Emissary ministry. It never happens that way.

 

It happens because there is a factual current flowing, there is a factual magnet, there is a factual creative field. Then whatever substance belongs in that creative field will come into it. That’s the way it works. We all have a tendency to imagine that one’s personal ministry is so important that one has to be doing this, that and the other thing, otherwise the restoration would be impossible. Well that’s ridiculous. It doesn’t come by any of the things that are done merely in the external sense, no matter how praiseworthy they seem to be. It is done because there is a factual facility through which the current of the spirit is working, and the spirit gets the job done—but we participate, we offer ourselves to the way it works.

The central aspect of the way it works is by reason of the mailings, a seemingly mundane thing: they go out in the mail, they're printed on paper, lots of little squiggles, and all this. But this is the core by which anything that is to be creatively accomplished by reason of the existence of this body will happen. That provides the basis for the Life currents that are moving through ourselves in daily living. They, aligned with the current of the spirit that brought forth the mailings, will unify the whole process, and we have a unified state of affairs. I trust that in describing it in this way it may provide a larger understanding of why so much importance has been placed upon the mailings.

There are those from time to time who say, “Well I don’t need the mailings anymore. I understand all that needs to be understood now. I can let it happen, so take me off the mailing list.” That person is gone, they have removed themselves from the current of Life. But the door is always open, and there are those who do go on and off the mailing list. These are unstable characters, not much use for providing a stable core in which others might trust.  If one does this on-and-off business, there is evidence of a lack of vision as to why the mailing list is there, for one thing, or as to why one should participate in it. Let them find out by moving with the current that moves by reason of being on the mailing list. Let it be consistent day in and day out, year in and year out. Then we have a current moving. Because there have been those, we have this much in effective operation now. But how much more there could have been—those are sad words, aren’t they, “what might have been”—if all concerned had been aware of their immense responsibility. But it was a casual thing: “Well I can be on or off the mailing list, it doesn't really make any difference; the mailing will still be coming out and I can get back on any time.” Well such a person is not participating in the creative process in any way that is effective at all.

I wanted to say something about this, because there has been a lack of vision, a lack of awareness on the part of so many who have been associated with the Emissary ministry over the years, as to why there was this provision. There is a purpose and a reason why our lives should be aligned with the current that is moving, so that there might be what is required to get the job done.
