Vibratory Substance For The Whole Spectrum Of Spirit

Vibratory  Substance

For  The  Whole  Spectrum  Of  Spirit

Martin Cecil   April 30, 1980  Assembly

As an Assembly, we rightly provide a resting place for the Lord on earth. Here is what might be described as a spiritual container in which there is fine spiritual substance kept safe, so that the Lord, by His spirit, may enter in. As this takes place, there is an intensification. As there comes an ease in letting this generation occur, there is a focus point of orientation provided for all the world. That focus point is the spirit of God and we may easily designate the spirit of God as love. 

To the extent that there is the essential fine substance, the reality of this love comes within the range of our own experience. It is not really that love is just now putting in an appearance—it was there all the time—but we have been little aware of it because we had so little correlating substance. As that substance is present, then this focus of spirit is known. It may be describable in terms of light. The spirit of love, and the fine substance which may accommodate it, engenders what we call light—spiritual light. 

We use this symbol to awaken an understanding of the reality. This is only possible to the extent that that reality of love is not only present but becomes tangible, because it is associated with dimensional substance. We provide a container then for this spiritual substance and in so doing, we provide a container for the spirit of God. The spirit and the substance blend. 

Here, we have the particular responsibility of permitting all the essences of this light to be present because, as individuals, we provide foci for these essences. We may think of these essences as a spectrum of color, if we are using the symbol of light. Each individual represents a color. Instead of using the word light we could say the Word. The Word tends to correlate in consciousness with sound. We've used the term tone which can be color or it can be sound. All these various dimensional symbols are contained within the Spirit of Love—white light has all the spectrum within it, not immediately evident but it's there. We discover it's there when it is differentiated. 

You have your own individual representation of tone or color, the essence which in creative action must extend into mass consciousness of mankind. When we consider these things, we necessarily must do so on the basis of symbols and analogy and so on, in order that may be activated within us what it is that is back of the symbol or the analogy. Then knowing that, we participate in the factual creative process, rather than in the imaginary one. 

Considering what needs to be considered, we find apparent paradoxes. So we should not get hooked on the symbols and the analogies, because we will find that one apparently contradicts another; but it isn't so from the standpoint of the truth. When we think of differentiation, we think of something expanding, something getting larger, taking in more territory. But if we stop to consider how much territory would the spirit of love take in, obviously, here is something universal, we might say infinite. We could use the word infinite to represent what is in other terms undimensional. You can’t dimensionalize it, which is to say, you can't really contain it. 

So the spirit of love is beginning to be known because there is substance of the requisite quality for this to happen. I would suggest that at this point the substance of the requisite quality for love to be known as it really is, is not present yet. We can know it only to the extent that there is the substance available to that knowing. We haven't yet allowed such a fineness of living, that there might be the fineness of substance present by which love, pure love, could be known. So whatever we have experienced thus far, is still down the line a little from the crossover point between the undimensional and the dimensional. 

It was indicated in Revelation that the Holy City, New Jerusalem, was seen to be descending from God out of heaven. This is one way of looking at it from below, in dimensional terms. But I think we already have an awareness that there isn't anything coming from anywhere in fact—it may give that appearance, because it has been absent from our experience. We are providing the facility by which it might be present in our experience. If we use this analogy of the Holy City coming down from God out of heaven we wouldn't think of this as though: “There, suddenly, is the City.” Another analogy would be that it is coming out of the mist. Yet, it isn't coming out of the mist either; it's simply that the mist is dissolving, so that what is there can be seen, known, and experienced. 

One may look at the process from our own standpoint of experience, as though we were ascending toward this crossover point where we belong. But that isn't true either. It is merely that what is already present emerges into our own experience, and it is this emergence into our own experience that is describable in terms of the Holy City coming down from God out of heaven. 

I made mention in the video recently of concentric spheres. Here is another way of describing a reality, but again, quite inadequately, because the fact of the matter is that there aren't any concentric spheres. However, again, it may acquaint us with what the reality is. The usual human viewpoint, while lip service to the greatness and almightiness of God is paid, in fact He is seen to be very small. And even from the standpoint of our own consideration, we have been concerned with this point which has position but no magnitude. There is no magnitude merely because magnitude is the quality of the dimensional world, and God is not of the dimensional world. Therefore He has no magnitude in the dimensional world except as there is the generation of form in that dimensional world at all the levels possible. 

Now, all of God would never be capable of being so revealed in a moment—we come again to eternity and infinity. It takes all the moments there are to reveal God. In one sense, we can say, “Well, there's no hurry,” because we have eternity available to us as we do actually participate in this creative process. We do not equate things with the usual human considerations of earthly life‑span. 

Differentiation seems to be an expansion, differentiating God's love, but then, there are no limits to God's love. So it is scarcely an expansion, really, from that standpoint; it is merely revealing moment by moment the reality of God's love in that moment in the dimensional realm. We have a particular part to play in this, which is what gives us meaning, and consequently a sense of meaning when we're playing that part. 

Coming back again to these concentric spheres, it is not as though there was something merely emerging out of the focus point of these spheres and then expanding out into the spheres, so that on this basis the coarsest level of expansion would be the periphery of this sphere. Well, in the first place, I indicated that it doesn't have any periphery. But we have also seen and become aware of the fact that the coarsest level of substance is the smallest level of substance. Therefore, if we wanted a symbol of this we would find a very small sphere close to the focus point of this vast sphere which has no periphery, and that would represent the coarsest level of substance. In our own awareness this would be physical substance, so you have a little physical sphere there. 

But the point of centering is the same point of centering for all the concentric spheres that extend beyond that little sphere at the center. Now there are no spheres because there is no mark, line of delineation, between one vibratory level of substance and the next. There isn't any such line of delineation really with respect to physical substance. It only appears so to us because we interpret things on the basis of our senses, and that interpretation is not necessarily the truth of the matter. But this analogy of concentric spheres does illustrate something to us, because each sphere fills and contains a smaller one within it. 

If we make, or give, arbitrary names to these spheres we can say that there is a mental sphere, which fills the physical sphere, permeates that, but extends beyond it. And then, we can say that there is the sphere of spiritual expression which likewise fills the physical sphere, permeates that, permeates the mental sphere, and extends beyond both. But then, there is whatever comes next, we could say the sphere of the heart which permeates the physical sphere, the mental sphere, the sphere of spiritual expression, and extends beyond. 

Each sphere as we are describing them connects the sphere within it to the sphere beyond. If there is a valid connection, then there is no delineation to the sphere; one blends into the next. And one may follow this analogy out until one comes to the sphere which permeates all others, and extends beyond all others. Now one could say—if we are looking at it in terms of a dimensional universe—that it fills the whole universe.

So, we have a better perspective then with respect to the various vibratory levels of substance. And one can see how utterly ridiculous it is that human beings have concentrated on this little sphere in the middle as though that was all there was. It is the grain of mustard seed and out of it springs vastly more, because there is this point of centering common to all vibratory levels. It is present at all vibratory levels. Here is an analogy that acquaints us with something rather tremendous, something which is a reality regardless of human beings. But we have the opportunity of correlating with this in particular ways, according to the nature of the creative responsibilities which we carry. We don’t have to create the universe, obviously so! But we need to know how to operate in it. 

You could say, “Well the earth is a pretty good symbol of the coarsest level of vibrational substance, the coarsest sphere.” We see spheres beyond this, relative to what we call the solar system, and then beyond the solar system—however far that extends incidentally if you want to look at it in dimensional terms. How far does the solar system reach? Of course, you can't delineate it particularly because it's part of something larger. If we look at all these levels as spheres surrounding the earth—where our responsibility is, after all—then we have a solar sphere, and we have a galactic sphere, and we have a universal sphere, and maybe others beyond that. The universe can be used as a catchall—all that seems very big to us, dimensionally speaking. We equally can move in the other direction and find the very small, but if you are an inhabitor of the very small no doubt that is seen very big too. Who knows whether our awareness of the very big universally speaking is not actually very small on some vastly greater scale? We recognize that we are within systems and there are systems within us, but clearly our field of responsibility is at the level where we are. 

So we concern ourselves with this which brings us down to the relatively manageable. And if we manage correctly our fields of responsibility, included in that will be the management of all that is contained in the systems which are to us seemingly much smaller. By the same token, it is because we are contained within systems bigger that we have the potential—which has been hidden for so long from human consciousness—of being held in place so that we're able to do what is natural to us by this larger enfoldment. This correlates somewhat with the notion that we're all in the hands of God. There is that larger enfoldment, but because human beings have ignored it, and resisted it, and tried to go their own way, of course it has been rendered more or less meaningless in their own experience. And there has been a little block, a little blemish, shall we say, in the vast whole, something temporary, which is now being cleansed away—not much of a trick really! It looks like a big task to human minds, because the human mind could never do it. 

So there is this considerable spectrum of vibrational levels of substance, at least this is the way we describe it. Human beings are aware certainly of the vibrational spectrum in this regard: the electromagnetic spectrum, for instance, which goes from whatever it is ultra-high frequency—they'll have to find another term of what happens above that again—to the very low frequency. And this all relates to substance at a certain vibrational level. One might say this is relatively coarse substance which represents finer substance. We've been taking note of these spheres within spheres, each permeating the ones lower, the ones coarser. And here is dimensional substance of certain vibratory levels which has become apparent to human experimentation. That only exists because there is the substance which permeates that and extends beyond that. We could call that the spiritual spectrum as opposed to the material spectrum. The material spectrum seems pretty mysterious too, doesn't it, so the spiritual spectrum is certainly beyond belief insofar as the human approach is concerned. And we find all these things correlate in us, as individuals, and together, because we are parts of a larger system. 

So we move in the creative cycle providing a point of orientation to the extent that we are in position to do so now. This is not the ultimate point of orientation, but it's the one we have in this moment, therefore it is supreme in this moment. The changes come, other aspects of the creative cycle work out—we participate in those too. But we have what we have now, with substance available, capable of permeating the vibrational substance of mankind and extending beyond it. Would you say, if this is true, if we really do have some of this substance, that our sphere is smaller than the sphere of mankind? No, it permeates the substance which is contained in human nature experience and extends beyond that. So if you wanted to describe it in terms of spheres, it's the larger sphere. 

What we are associated with is not such a little pinpoint as we might have supposed, because the tendency of course is to see everything in terms of physical size, which from our standpoint is not the point. The physical size is the smallest size and when one compares physical forms, in a way, one is comparing smallness. We need to see things in a consciousness of their true stature. We need to have some consciousness of our own true stature. I have sought to emphasize this from time to time by indicating spheres within spheres, and that within this sphere there is the flesh body. So, we're larger than we thought. 

We don't correlate largeness, really, merely with physical form. That is the least important—it's the ash remaining from the creative fires. But, there must be some means of ascension, and we're here to provide that. You provide the substance of connection and the substance through which spirit acts, so that there may be resurrection. And the substance of coarser levels may be refined in the fires again in the ascending cycle, to be restored to God. Now what all this means is obscure, obviously, to human consciousness. It's still obscure to us, but we have a sense of relatedness to it; it somehow makes sense. And in our participation, in the actual reality of the processes, we find what the sense is. We don't find what the sense is by merely thinking about it, speculating about it. You find what it is by doing it. 

And so we associate ourselves in permitting an awakening to occur in our own consciousness at levels where it has not yet occurred. And as it was said: “And I, if I be lifted up.” What we are in reality needs to be lifted up in the sense that we need to become aware of it, and there is a certain amount of underpinning to be done. As substance fills in at the coarser levels, purified substance at the coarser levels, then there is a base for the generation of the finer substance. And when that is generated and blended with the substances, already there is a base for generating finer substance still, so that we may have the available vibratory substance for the whole spectrum of spirit. And when that is so, we are at the crossover point. 

The mist has faded away and all levels of consciousness are filled to the brim with the reality of the spirit of God in action. Now that action is different at different levels of consciousness, obviously, and we don't expect it to be all conscious. If we were consciously aware of everything that was happening, we wouldn't last a moment, would we? It would be a state of madness. Let be accommodated at each level of vibratory substance what belongs at that level, and leave it at that. We don't allow one level to trespass into another level; it all belongs where it belongs. There is a design. We become more consciously aware of how it is we may allow all to be contained in that design. Then there is balance, then there is all the understanding that is needed consciously, but there is also all the understanding that is needed at all the levels of consciousness, which are to themselves conscious.

A Morning Star

A  Morning  Star

The  Focalization  of  the  Spirit  of  Life

Uranda   February 23, 1947   Riverside, California

The Lord spoke to us out of the Cycles of the Spirit, and said,

Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the cornerstone thereof:

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

This morning, in the early dawn, I looked Eastward. The darkness was giving way before the coming of the light, and already a veil of light, like a garment, fringed the mountain, over which the sun would soon arise. The brilliant morning star, high in the Eastern heavens, hung like a jewel in the blue of the sky, signalled a message of calm assurance, and in its flashing brilliance I beheld a beacon of the heavens, sending earthward a message that the Sons of God still reign supreme, and shall once again shout for Joy when the earth shall have been cleansed from all sin, suffering, sorrow and death.

In this place, set apart, to which we have been brought by the Spirit of the Living God, I meditate this morning upon the workings of the great Creative Triangles, of which I have told you before, and in my meditations I consider the words by which I may convey to you that which I would long to convey if you were gathered here with me in person, sharing the California sunshine, resting under the green trees, listening to the sound of the breeze, and watching it sway the branches to and fro. In the Spirit, time, space and distance are transcended, and so it is that In the Spirit of the Word of Truth I am with you where you are, as surely as if you were sitting here within the sound of my voice.

We have moved to establish the focalizations of the Creative Triangles in the earth as a Reality, that the Creative Cycles may effectively transcend the limitations of physical circumstance, and begin to shape and mould that form which the Will of God ordains on earth, that all who will may see and know and understand the Power and Reality of the Living God. I would consider with you the words of realization expressed by one whom you already know in Spirit—one whom I wish shortly to introduce to you in a new light. 

"Our Great Master, when He was living on earth, made the statement: ‘I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life.^’ In Him all that was necessary to the Salvation of the human race was, and is focalized. The Way, is the Way of the Christ Love, and we recognize that He in His Place is the LORD of Love. Naturally, when He was living out here on earth He was the supreme focalization of the Divine on earth, and therefore, under those circumstances, and by reason of that for which He was in the world, He focalized the Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Life within Himself. That which was possible of accomplishment then, was possible only under His personal direction. After His Ascension into the Inner Planes, He remained, of course, the focalization of the Spirit of Love, as the LORD of Love, and resumed His responsibilities as the Supreme Being at the apex of the Seventh Plane, but the responsibilities of the Spirit of Truth were returned to, and placed in the hands of, the Lord of the Sacred Three. We have then remaining the Spirit of Life, which relates primarily to the Christ Body made manifest on earth. It is the Expression of the Christ Life in and through the One Body, that establishes and brings forth the One Body. Therefore, as through response to the Spirit of Love and the Spirit of Truth, the Christ Body begins to come into manifestation, the focalization of that Spirit of Life automatically begins to become aware of the currents of Life focalized in himself and flowing through the One Body. Does that make for separation? In the idea of the serpent it is a splendid opportunity for division. I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life, There is no separation for they are One." (Martin Cecil  February 16, 1947)

The focalization of the Spirit of Life, coming into manifest expression through and at the Head of that Form established according to the Pattern of the Spirit of Truth, moving under the Power of the Spirit of Love, provides the means for the intensified function of the Creative Triangle on earth, by which Resurrection from darkness into the Light may cause the Restoration to become a Reality.

I take this means of announcing to you that under the blessing of the KING of Kings, the ordination of the second Bishop of the Church of the Emissaries of Divine Light shall soon be an accomplished reality. Seven years ago an important step in the outworking of the Plan of God on earth was fulfilled, when the Lord opened the Way by which Martin Cecil harmonized with us in this Ministry. The initial fruitage of that seven years of faithful function now begins to appear, carrying blessings to you and to all who Respond, and shall Respond, to the Way, the Truth and the Life. The focalization of the Spirit of Life, made manifest in the person of Martin Cecil, soon to be ordained a Bishop of the Church, makes possible the next great step in the fulfillment of the Cosmic Plan, in the Cycles of the Creative Triangles, by reason of which the Service of the Lord on earth shall be caused to increase, according to those things that are written in the Book of books, concerning which more understanding will be given to you in due season; for that Rock cut out without hands shall grow, and fill the whole earth.

In the first processes of Creation, the Morning Stars sang together, and all the Sons of God shouted for Joy. So let it also be now in the Restoration—where the Spirit of Life, working through the Pattern of Truth by the Power of the Spirit of Love, shall surely accomplish that whereunto he is sent, to the Glory of God and the blessing of all the children of men, IN the Christ. Blessing you in the Holy Name of the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, and continuing with you in Spirit that you may worship God in Truth, I AM  URANDA

Ye Have Not Chosen Me But I Have Chosen You

Ye  Have  Not  Chosen  Me   But  I  Have  Chosen  You

Martin Cecil   August 7, 1980    from  Assembly — Sunrise Ranch

The world cries out for a brightening, a genuine light, a genuine sensing of a genuine glory

We are a small company in a large space; however this gives us special opportunity to share something in the field of government particularly. I would like to read some verses from Ezekiel, Chapter forty-three.

“Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:

“And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

“And it was according to the appearance of the vision...

“And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

“So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house.”

The house of the Lord is here present in the flesh by reason of all of you who are gathered here within the house of the Lord of material substance. We call it the Dome Chapel. Because we have conscious understanding with spiritual perspective we are in position to assume our spiritual responsibility in this setting, the setting of the house of the Lord. After what has gone before, we have been brought to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east.

For you, particularly in this setting now, I am that gate. You are looking toward the east. I am the gate for you in a particular sense in this Assembly. I'm a gate for others also. But we have this special setting at the moment, at the very core of the Lord's ministry on earth. We are all present playing our respective roles—you as the house of the Lord and I as the gate, the gate which from your standpoint looketh toward the east, looketh toward what is coming—in this instance, what is coming through my words. What is of the spirit of God comes out of the east, comes out of the future or out of heaven, to take form now, to be translated more fully because all of you are present, and to shine round about.

How beautiful are the ways of the Lord, how simple, how easy. What is needful to make the right translation is always available if there is a willingness to let it be sufficiently resilient to do what is necessary. Because of the extent of the resiliency of all who are gathered here in this setting now this Assembly has taken shape and has been brought to focus, looking toward the east, in this moment. I am the door toward which you look, through which what comes out of the east, out of the future, down from God out of heaven, may take its initial form.

You are aware that both in this setting now and in a larger sense, I am that door. I didn’t choose to be that door, but was chosen to be that door. All I have done is to agree with the choice. The same is true of all of you. You didn’t choose to be here, but you were willing to agree with the choice. “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,” were the words of the One whom we love and serve, and we are here on earth to minister in His name.

This house within a house is holy. It is an initial form of the immovable mass, from which the irresistible force proceeds. In this holy setting we may together have a very vivid awareness of the immense spiritual responsibility that is ours in this moment. Our very geographical position in the midst of this Dome is surely evidence to us of the authority which we are here to carry. We surely know that it is not a little thing. Relative to what’s going on in the universe as a whole it isn't much—but in the eyes of the Lord, relative to this aspect of His creation, it is a large thing, and it is large to us. Our awareness of that largeness impresses us with a sense of holiness.

So we are together in this holy setting, a house within a house, and the gate opens toward the east, and what is present, ready to emerge out of the heaven, has opportunity to so emerge because we provide that opportunity. Obviously there would be no such opportunity if I wasn't here and if you weren't here. It requires each of us in our particular roles of responsibility to be in position to let the creative action of God be a reality now in this moment. A consciousness of the sacredness of what is here present now sustains a sense of deep humility, in the recognition that we are in this particular place at this particular time, in this particular configuration of people not on the basis of our own choosing and yet it is our own choice. We have been put here, we have been put together, for a reason, and our unified consciousness becomes increasingly aware of that reason.

“And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east” — the glory of life, the glory of the living God, not merely of a concept of glory, or of life, or of God, but the reality of the experience which naturally comes through the gate, out of the heaven, to be translated into expression as the sound of many waters, because of all of you particularly — “and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.”

We may have a sense of the shining now in this moment, in our own experience. As His voice sounds with the sound of many waters, that shining brightens the whole earth. There is indeed deep darkness upon the face of the earth, a need for brightening. Gloom and doom are much apparent in the awareness of people everywhere. Some may occupy themselves with their human affairs, blotting out that sound as far as possible. But if there is a pause in the frenetic activity, anyone will become aware of the doom and the gloom. The world cries out for a brightening, a genuine light, a genuine sensing of a genuine glory. This is part of our spiritual responsibility, in our genuineness, that there may be that glory and it may be sensed by those who are close enough to us to sense it—not close enough physically necessarily, but close enough vibrationally, close enough in the openness of their hearts. A sense of brightening. This provides a beginning consciousness of the fact that there must be somehow a point of genuine orientation.

Yesterday in our session, what the Lord built on the rock foundation was of such strength, such permanence, that the gates of hell could not prevail against it. It’s interesting that the plural is used here—gates. There are many gates toward which human beings look, as a rule with their backs to the east. Those gates all lead into the past and what is received through those gates comes out of the past. And this is the basis for human function on earth. The gates of hell prevail. There are many such gates when we are polarized in the past, polarized in earthly heredity. And we find coming to us through those gates influences of all kinds, which are inclined to take control in human living.

We are aware of these things and we have presumably turned to see the voice, turned toward the east, where there is only one gate. That gate, that one gate, may be found to have various aspects to it. I recall that there were supposed to be twelve gates into the holy city, but every gate was of a pearl, one pearl; there weren't a variety. Fundamentally all the gates, in this sense, are the same; just one gate. And what a person may see as the gate is not always the same. It could be said that you all rightly share in this one gate, so that what others see in you is the gate, the same pearl, the same pearl without price. You can’t buy yourself into the kingdom of heaven or out of purgatory.

One gate within this setting now—in this particular configuration, we have the representation of what is needful for the whole earth. My voice_, because of you, becomes the voice of many waters. Then that is the sounding of the tone on earth in expanded, differentiated, magnified expression. Sharing in this, in this moment, the glory of the Lord may fill the house where we are sitting, the house of flesh and the house of material substance beyond the flesh—the holy place. But the bounds of the holy place, which are apparent in this Dome, do not prevent the glory of the Lord from shining forth. It may prevent the defilement of the world from coming in. We have a responsibility in this regard, because if the defilement of the world cannot come into us, and we are responsible here in this setting, it cannot come into this Dome Chapel either. When there is the immovable mass, the gates of hell do not prevail. What would come in through those gates cannot get in.

But the gates are handy also, because something can get out—the glory of the Lord, the glory of the Lord’s rebuke and reproof—rebuke to the self-centeredness prevalent in the world and reproof to all who remain subject to that self-centeredness. There is reproof offered when the glory of the Lord fills the house and shines round about. Nothing can enter in that defiles or works abomination or makes a lie—so that the glory of the Lord shines round about. We are responsible for that glory. It is the glory of life, our own life individually speaking and together. It offers rebuke and reproof, rebuke to what comes to us personally as individuals to be rebuked, and reproof is offered to the world because individually we have offered rebuke in our own circumstances and experiences. Then there is reproof that shines round about.

There are various aspects to reproof: of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. We bring the immovable mass, which provides the opportunity for right polarity to all. The wrong polarity, which is the state in the world of human beings now, is thereby reproved, because the right polarity is on hand. And of righteousness because in the glory of the Lord shining round about, life is revealed. What life is, is revealed. The truth of life is revealed. That is righteousness—the genuine article rather than the phony self-righteousness of human beings. And of judgment, because the dominion, the government, of God is present. There are many governments provided out of the gates of hell. We may let those gates be used to extend the government of God, the government of God relative to the governments of the world. This has effect both from the standpoint of such resistance as there may be to it by reason of those who are strongly polarized in the self-centered state, but also a yielding by reason of those who are sufficiently resilient and open to allow that polarity to begin to change. And that changes because of the reproof that is offered. So there are those who are uplifted and there are those who are cast down. The evidence of these things appears in the world, but we stand as the gate of the east, steadfast and strong.

“So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house.
“This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.”

This house in which we now sit is set upon an hill. There is a beautiful evidence of life symbolized by the green that surrounds the Chapel, and which is plainly delineating a hill with the Chapel upon it. Here is a true symbol, and it is all holy. This symbol is first of all a symbol of this Assembly now in this instance, those of us who are here present in the house within a house. The larger house is holy because the house within the house is holy. And that of course is the responsibility of each one. “This is the law of the house; upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy.”

We may see this in terms of the symbol itself. To us, in our awareness of the truth of the matter, it is most holy. It is only known to be this because of the house within the house, at the moment this Assembly. The house within the house is larger than this Assembly, but this Assembly certainly brings the house within a house to focus within a house. And there is the gate toward which you looked in the east, and there is what is brought, by reason of that gate and by reason of its magnification, as the expression of many waters by all of you. We share this experience now in this hour, seeing beyond the forms of it to the reality of it, to the spiritual beauty which is in the heaven. Obviously none of this could possibly be known or experienced if it wasn't for what is present in form; but what is known and experienced is far more than the form.

“Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty … Let all the earth keep silence before Thee.” Let all mankind render to God the things that are His. Let all the tithes be brought into the storehouse, the tithes of love, of reverence, of awe, of substance at every level. “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.” The irresistible force, the creative power of the Christ, transforms and transmutes under His hand, by reason of His house restored on earth, within which the glory of His presence is known and from whence His glory shines round about.
