The Flesh Body

The  Flesh  Body

Loosed  on  Earth  —  Loosed  in  Heaven

Martin Cecil  July 30, 1980  Assembly

“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
“For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
“Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet.” [The 8th Psalm, Verses 3—6]

This is speaking of man, not of cultic man but of true man. Indication is offered in these verses that man has some significance, certainly more than has been known by human beings in their cultic state. And this significance is related to what is beyond the earth itself — the heavens, high heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars. We have some awareness of relatedness in this regard, that we're part of a whole cosmic circumstance. So the questions that are asked here are comprehensible to us because we begin to know from our own experience what man is. The scope of his operations is vast. The encompassment of his vision is immense, rightly. It is so when man is on hand.

This of course does not mean that individually speaking we have a complete rundown on everything. If that was the case there would be no need for anybody else, would there? It needs all of us to encompass what needs to be encompassed. We begin to find our areas of responsibility, so that we cease trespassing upon the areas of others. Mind you, some of these overlap, but we each have unique responsibility in our own part. We have a certain comprehension of the parts of others as those are close to our own, but we also may be aware that there are many who have other fields of responsibility of which, directly at least, we know little. We know they are there; we know they are a part of the whole of which our field is a part. And there may be times when we are introduced to such fields — on a conducted tour, shall we say? — but we don't trespass: “Forgive us our trespasses.” And I'm sure you all recognize that in the cultic state we have the inclination to trespass, to try to mind other people's business.

If we occupy positions of focus, as we do, we are aware of what is contained in our area of focus and we are aware of those who are present there, but we refrain from trespassing in that sense also. We give everybody space to handle their own spiritual affairs. Those spiritual affairs may be a part of our encompassment but we don't try to do everything ourselves. And as been noted several times, we may find that other people handle these things a lot better than we could personally. They are there to look after the details; we are not there for that purpose.

We may have in the past functioned on the basis of substitute patterns of function, but as soon as someone comes along who can handle those we are happy to give them to such a person, even if that person is going to have to learn to handle them effectively. Perhaps to start with he doesn't handle them as effectively as we were, because we had experience in the matter and this is something fresh for someone else. But pretty soon we find out that they become capable of doing it a lot better than we could. And we are quite happy to admit that; we don't try to uphold our so-called positions by putting other people down. We find ourselves actually exalted when we appreciate what others are doing.

And so in these verses of this Psalm the statement is made, “For thou hast made him” — man, that is — “a little lower than the angels.” Well, we understand this. There is man, the material aspect of the whole, and there is the angel, the spiritual aspect of the whole. And when these two are unified, are one in experience, then it may be said that there is a living soul present. A soul — that is a facility for the action of life, for the achievement of whatever it may be. As we see, we all have our individual parts to play in a whole body. “For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels” — the heaven is higher than the earth, but heaven and earth are one. Heaven is is a higher vibrational state than the earth vibrational state. To put it another way, the earth state is a coarser vibrational state and the heaven is a finer vibrational state. And the heaven interpenetrates the earth. So the heaven is present with the earth, and the greatest consequent experience, the greatest range of experience then, is available. In the human state now, the cultic state, the endeavor has been to function just from the standpoint of the earth, where there was rather limited range, and whatever range there is available with the earth when it is one with heaven is not known. In other words it's restricted to the very coarsest levels, if the experience is that of the earth with scarcely any heaven at all. And this is the cultic state.

So the earth opens up considerably once there is the experience of a living soul. We do not restrict ourselves anymore to the very coarsest levels of material existence. You know this to be so in your own experience. Something opens up, and you may observe in other people that it just simply isn't there for them. They're fiddling around in some coarse level, without any consciousness whatsoever that there might be something more. And I would suggest that in our consciousness there is something more, that is restricted as yet too — there is far greater experience to come. So the human experience is a little lower than the angel's, but it becomes the angelic experience when there is unification. And in the state of the living soul, Thou “hast crowned him with glory and honour.” Well here is the glory of life of course. Glory is a word, as we know, that provides understanding of the characteristics of life — “and honour” — I wanted to look at this matter of honor a little. We may say that, functioning from the spiritual standpoint, we are always honorable. This may mean different things to different people, but we have a sensing, I'm sure, of the nature of what it means to be honorable.

We have noted these two aspects: spiritual and material. Now, with the material separate from the spiritual — which is cultic human experience — there are many things which seem to be dishonorable. We are accustomed — as Adam and Eve initiated the cycle — of eating of the forbidden fruit, of judging some things to be bad and some things to be good. If we recognize that man was made by God in His own image and likeness, then he is totally perfect from that viewpoint. It hasn't seemed so to him because he lives in an unreal state of mistranslation. He has mistranslated his own experience, so that it seems that his own experience is often dishonorable, or at least he has honorable phases of it, but some aspects are not so good. Now we may think of this just from the standpoint of the operation of the physical form itself. As you are aware, Paul was inclined to get things rather mixed up, or at least those who interpreted Paul have got them mixed up — mistranslation upon mistranslation. But he said something about this in his First Epistle to the Corinthians, and he put it this way — now of course what he is saying here relates to one's own individual body, but it also may be seen in the light of the body of which we are all parts, that larger composite body. But for the moment I'm thinking of it more from the standpoint of the individual body, that we may have a base for right translation here:

“But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
“And if they were all one member, where were the body?
“But now are they many members, yet but one body.
“And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
“Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
“And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.”

Well this is the way Paul put it, or at least the way his words were translated. But we are interested in right translation, right translation of spirit as it has taken form in our own individual bodies and as it is in the process of being revealed in the collective body of which we are a part. We, individually, in the flesh sense, are composed of many parts. Now we need to be able to see that because the body is a whole and is designed to make possible the right translation of spirit, every part of it is essential. We can't say, “Well I'm going to make right translation of spirit, therefore all I need is my brain, perhaps my spinal cord too.” We wouldn't be much if that was all there was to us. We need the whole business, don't we? Every part. Now of course it may be that some of us have lost parts at times along the way. I don't think that's going to prevent us from achieving what we need to achieve now, as long as we are capable of operating in conjunction with spirit. The ingenuity of the Lord is great, we have noted. And sometimes He achieves marvelous things by reason of the presence of physical forms that are extremely handicapped. Oh this is the way they describe it these days. Well we are not all that handicapped. We have sufficient to get on with the job or we wouldn't all be sitting here.

So we have our physical forms, which are a translation of spirit; they wouldn't exist if this was not so. From the standpoint of our own experience there has been considerable mistranslation. In other words we have had experiences, physically speaking, which could not be classified as true translations of spirit. We might take the matter of pain, for instance. Obviously if there is pain in the world — and there certainly is — suffered by human beings, ourselves included at times, this must be a false translation, a mistranslation somehow of spirit, because spirit is not the author of pain. It becomes that way when there is a mistranslation of spirit, so any sickness, disease, physical trouble that may put in an appearance, gives evidence of some sort of a mistranslation.

Now we see this, I'm sure, clearly enough individually speaking but we also recognize that we are not merely individuals. We are not isolated individuals, even though most human beings, ourselves included, particularly in times past, have made that mistranslation, saying, “Oh I'm just me. I have a right to live my own life” — one of the attitudes that springs out of this — “because I'm an isolated person; what I do is nobody else's business.” Well it is other people's business in the sense that what we do will have effect on other people. It may be that other people may interfere in our business, which they have no business doing, but we at the same time must recognize that we can't lift a finger without affecting other people. And I just lifted my finger — did you see me? I affected you! So being very conscious of this we are aware that our function must be right, and the only way it can be right is by making a true translation of spirit. We can't figure it all out with our minds and be right. We must be on hand to make a true translation of spirit.

Now man is made in the image and likeness of God, and in his true state therefore is a true translation of spirit. That's what that means, isn't it? To be made in the image and likeness of God is to be made in the image and likeness of spirit. And the only way that could happen is as there is a true translation made of it. Well of course there have been people on earth, cultic people on earth, for millennia, who have been making mistranslations, and we have all this backlog of human nature heredity, as we call it, present with us, but that not only includes such physical idiosyncrasies as we may have—the cast of our features for instance, the color of our hair, etc, the color of our eyes and all this, and sometimes tendencies toward difficulties of various sorts — all this coming out of the past of mistranslation upon mistranslation. Well we are not trying to retranslate that. Of course many people are: “I was a ninety-pound weakling; now look at me!” Well that is a retranslation of a mistranslation, but whether the retranslation is better than the mistranslation is another question. In any case it's a mistranslation also.

So we have the equipment we have and we understand why we have the equipment we have, and this is not going to be a barrier to our function based in right translation of spirit in this moment. The translation which has appeared physically speaking is likely to be much the same as it was when we begin to allow a right translation to be made in the initial stages, because our translation relates to consciousness, relates to attitudes, to feelings — the way we look at things, the way we feel. Of course this will have an effect; it will have an effect on what we call our health, or perhaps our ill health. We find when we begin to allowing a true translation to be made in our living, regardless of whatever mistranslations may have been present in our bodies, our health is affected and we become more healthy, I suppose you could say, properly speaking, by reason of the translations we are now making.

We need to see our bodies, as individuals, and our body collectively, as being essential to the creative work that we are here to do. Clearly enough we understand this in a general way, because we wouldn't be here at all to do it if we didn't have a physical body. But we need to see that it relates to every part of the body, every cell in the body, if there is to be a right translation, which allows the resurrection of the body. The resurrection we think of as the collective body, but includes the individual body. When there is a resurrection occurring for the collective body it's also occurring for the individual body. But you can't pick yourself out and say, “Now I'm going to experience resurrection. That'll be a wonderful example for everybody else.” You would thereby be separating yourself from everybody else. But the way it is, we are all in the same boat — and we can allow some changes of attitude, some changes of outlook, some changes of understanding, with respect to everything. But now we are thinking of it with respect to the individual body, our own individual bodies, because there certainly has been a judgmental attitude with respect to the body.

Shame is an evil spirit, we say, because it's actually the central evil spirit which put in an appearance when the spirit of God no longer was being rightly translated. The first mistranslation of the spirit of God, we might say, produced shame — the sense of shame. And the sense of shame has been present in people in numberless ways, but very particularly, obviously, with respect to the physical flesh body. There are those who have a sort of a sensing of this and they think they are going to dissipate it somehow by establishing nudist colonies. Well conceivably action at this level, at this physical level, this earthly level, may loose something on earth which looses something in heaven.

The point is to loose something in heaven, and one necessarily does something on earth to let that happen: “Whatsoever ye shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.” If you don't loose it on earth it won't be loosed in heaven. When it is loosed in heaven then there is something available for expression on earth, but we have to loose it on earth first. This is why I am bringing into your consciousness now the physical flesh body. It certainly is bound on earth, it's bound by earthly heredity. But it is bound also—and this is the important aspect of it — by our view of the flesh body, by our sense of shame, by our judgment, that this aspect of the body's function, for instance, is good and this aspect is bad. Well we know, theoretically at least, that every aspect of the body when it is in health is necessary — all aspects of it are necessary.

Now I'm thinking particularly at the moment of the excretive aspects of the flesh body, which we would all no doubt admit are absolutely essential to good health. And yet there is a very peculiar attitude toward these, which, I suppose, if we were using Paul's language, we would say that these processes are uncomely. But the fact of the matter is that they are part of the creative process, not just that we might have good health. It's not a self-centered thing, rightly. Because it is taken as a self-centered thing, constipation is one of the major problems in the world, of human experience, and all kinds of other troubles.

Now of course we need to recognize that there are various facilities available for excretion, some of which we don't think so badly of. We don't mind perhaps going out on the tennis court, or jogging on the road, and perspiring heavily. It's a healthy practice, and we don't swathe ourselves in a blanket in order to hide the fact that we are perspiring — we really would be then, wouldn't we? I'm not saying that all these necessary functions of what may be thought of as dispelling waste are for public display. No, there is what is fitting. But I'm not speaking of that so much as one's own personal view of the situation. And for most it's a very restricted view, a very distorted view, based in a firm mistranslation. We need to see this process as relating to creation.

Some of you may have read The Triune Ray, Uranda's work, in which something was said about the creation which was initiated at the highest and finest levels, and what was incapable of right function at that highest level automatically got pushed down into the next level. Now that's excretion, part of the creative process. And what couldn't operate at that level was pushed down to the next lower level, and so on down the line until finally there was the earth, which was the ash of everything that was left. Then provision was made by which this ash could be transformed and transmuted in the resurrecting cycle. There are two aspects of the cycle — we're aware of that. There is what is coming down from God out of heaven, that could be correlated with the excretory cycle. Now most of us in the human state would be horrified at the thought that this was so. Why? Because we have a horrible attitude toward our own experience and we have not had any consciousness at all, virtually, of the creative nature of this part of the creative cycle that is operating in our own individual flesh bodies. It's just as important in the creative way as any other aspect of it.

Now of course there is the air we breathe out. There is a good deal of concern about bad breath, and various substances you are supposed to be able to rinse your mouth out with — it's probably worse than the bad breath by the time you've done it. But here is something being offered out from the body because it no longer belongs in the body. We breathe out a blessing. Now that’s easy, isn’t it? We can see that, quite obvious. After the Master’s resurrection, when He was with His disciples, He breathed upon them, and said, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” It was a blessing, obviously, a blessing offered from another level. The blessings are offered from the higher level.

Now in all the excretory functions of the human body, whether through breathing out, whether through the pores at the surface of the body, or through the eliminative tract where there is the solid waste or liquid waste — it is all part of the same thing. It is all part of allowing what is not properly capable of operating at the level where we are living to move in blessing to another level. All this has been blotted out of the consciousness of human beings, as evidenced by their problems in the world now of what is called pollution. There is no clear awareness of the possibilities, the creative possibilities, of waste. Well there is a little on the farm, for instance, where there is, as we have here, a compost heap. But think of all those eyesores where the carcasses of automobiles are stacked. Now of course they're beginning to squeeze them together and use the metal over again. But there is far more being excreted from human civilization than can be taken care of because much of the excretion in this sense is so unnatural. All kinds of substances have now been made which are not included in nature; they're not biodegradable, as they say. But no thought apparently was given, in making these substances, as to what would happen when they needed to disintegrate; no provision was made for it. Well from the standpoint of the true translation of things, provision is made all the way. It is made during the creation — which continues, by the way — where there is that which is descending from level to level, that which is being excreted from level to level, and that which is being lifted up again. The cycle works from the standpoint of God, but obviously human beings have thrown a monkey wrench into the works.

We need to begin to allow a true awareness to be experienced in a very personal sense. It is not just a matter of having a large view and being able to expound on the principles of the thing, but of knowing the reality of it in one's own experience. And in various ways we excrete every day. “Well let’s not talk about that; let’s not even think about it,” is the inclination of the human attitude. That's saying let’s exclude a primary aspect of the creative process from our consideration. This is an honorable function. It is somewhat seen now, that what is thought of as sexual function is honorable. This is a field that, in the consciousness of vast numbers of people, particularly in the past, has been very dishonorable, something that might be described as animalistic, or beastly—in the view of many, many people.

Now, from our standpoint at least—we need to consider what our experience is—we have an awareness that it is certainly an essential part of the creative process, with which we are concerned—you can't exclude it and live. So this begins to be seen. We are more delighted about this perhaps, first of all because it seems to open up some possibilities to human nature. But it is not for opening up possibilities to human nature. It is for right use in the creative process. Well it is interesting to note that, insofar as the flesh body is concerned, that the primary creative organs are closely associated with particular aspects of the excretory experience. We may recognize at this level — we sometimes refer to this general area by using the words the first seal—that the first seal is the crossover point where the change occurs. It is the point through which what is descending moves on out and the point through which what is ascending returns. There is a very close association here. We know that physically speaking. We can’t do anything about that — there it is. Well, it is designed that way. There is nothing wrong with this, once we have a conscious awareness of the real nature of the creative process which we ourselves as living souls focalize — it comes to point in what we are as living souls. There is life and there is the soul. They are one. And the soul includes all the equipment necessary to permit participation in the real creative process.

Now we don't have physical bodies made the way they are by mistake. I don't think anyone who has any appreciation of beauty would take the attitude that the physical form of male and female is not beautiful. It seems that some, of course, have taken that attitude, but if one has an appreciation of beauty it is beautiful. We have many examples, of course, from the standpoint of art. The human body has been used as a form of beauty in art, very much so, because there is a consciousness of the fact that while this is not the whole picture, nevertheless the flesh body of human beings is rightly made in the image and likeness of God when the correct translation is there. Well the correct translation from our standpoint now is not to try to do something to the physical body — we wouldn’t know what to do — but to allow our attitude to be clear in relationship to its operation, so that we have a consciousness of blessing from the standpoint of what it is that is being offered from us in this creative cycle into our world. It is nourishment.

The carbon dioxide that we breathe out is nourishment to the plants—we know that. And in actual fact, except for the blindness of human beings in their ridiculous ways of handling things, all the other excretions that emerge from the human body have a right use. We might say, “Well you can't follow that out very far because it goes down the sewer into the aerating pond down below there and is broken down.” I think we can follow it out a little further here than you can in the city, for instance; they have treatment plants there. You can't see perhaps the end result of the blessing the way things are set up, but that does not in any way change what rightly should be our attitude in the matter, because the spirit of blessing needs to be present if there is to be a blessing — spirit and form are one. That is a living soul insofar as man is concerned. And if one has no awareness of what one is really doing in these various fields, there is no participation in any real sense with the creative cycle. And that is exactly what we're here on earth to do.

We may see this most obviously as we are gathered here in this Assembly: something needs to happen in the creative sense, a right translation, for all that is beyond us. We at the moment provide an apex point of focus, and something needs to be released because of us. Now you may not have thought of that release as excretion, but it is, once we experience an awareness, spiritually speaking, of what it is that is happening. And we can correlate our function in all its various aspects with what is actually happening, so that we don't have our bodies over here — “Well it is going to take care of things there, but I'm a spiritual being here and I'm going to radiate something out into the world.” How is it going to get there? It requires the flesh body to get there, and the actual function — not the imaginary function — of the flesh body is the way it goes.

There has been so much imagination, a living in a fanciful world, that somehow we are going to let some marvelous emanation go forth; it's going to uplift everybody — but factually what is happening? Maybe we are struggling with our digestive system, or we are not breathing properly, or we never undertake exercise to let us sweat a bit. What are we doing to see that the kidneys work as they should? They are a marvelous mechanism, if you stop to think about it. Well there are so many peculiar attitudes toward such things, that stand in the way here. And in a general sense, most people find great difficulty groping their way through these things in order to find the beautiful reality that is the other side. It has always been there. There has just been this thick veil of human ignorance in between.

Every aspect of the function of the human body is beautiful — beautiful — even the most seemingly uncomely ones. And we need to be so clear within ourselves that we know this to be so in our own experience. It must be in our own experience, not just thinking about it but sharing the actual operation of the creative cycle, so that we are keenly aware of the opportunity to allow a blessing to be released because something is in fact occurring. To put it in a very specific nut shell for at least one area with which you are all familiar, it is not a matter of going to the bathroom and saying, “After I've been to the bathroom then I will be in position to release a blessing.” No, right there! Is there any area so uncomely to you that it would be impossible to release a blessing through?

Here we begin to see a whole free area. I'm not suggesting that there isn't something that is properly comely with respect to all these operations—there is what is fitting. I'm talking about the way we see the thing, our own attitude, and our own actual experience here. And if you have had some troubles with your eliminative processes, maybe you may recognize a key to clearing the situation — not that you are taking this attitude in order to clear the situation, but it automatically follows through. Human beings have been thoroughly self-centered in these things and inherited all kinds of ridiculous attitudes which didn't exist at all in the true state, when the true translation was being made — everything was beautiful. There is nothing that is uncomely. All is a part of the means for the expression of righteousness, after which we hunger and thirst. So I appreciate the opportunity of speaking of these things in an open manner to the extent that you have allowed me to do so.

A Focus Point in the Creative Field

A  Focus  Point  in  the  Creative  Field

Uranda   November 19, 1950

At the time of the Session at Riverside in 1947, Martin Cecil was just coming into a consciousness of his High Calling in Christ, just beginning to realize the nature of the responsibilities that rested upon him, a starting point for the expansion and expression of that for which he came into the world. We were working with a pattern virtually blank in outer form and developing a Creative Field where there were very few points immediately present. To arbitrarily put someone somewhere in the sense of expecting that individual to arbitrarily fill that position would be attempting to build according to the concepts of man, the development of human organizations. In this we are building according to the patterns of the Cosmic Plan and the way is the Way of God.

Place with respect to the individual is established when that which will fill the place finds consistent manifestation through the individual, and not before. That which finds consistent manifestation through the individual determines what placement, if any, there shall be, but we cannot at any time just appoint someone to a place. I did not arbitrarily, from some outer standpoint, appoint Martin Cecil to any place. He is in his place because he allowed a consistent expression of Reality to appear in manifestation on earth which allowed focus in that place where he is.

What your God Being is inside, or ever was, is absolutely and utterly beside the point. The only thing that counts, that has any weight, meaning or value in any way, shape or form on earth is what manifests through you now. Nothing else counts. That is all that we can count on; that is all that has any meaning in relationship to the thing that is developing here. What form of manifestation your God Being may have had at some past time means nothing, absolutely nothing. What the identity of your God Being is, is absolutely beside the point, something you do not need to know and it would not matter the snap of your finger if you did know. The only thing that has any value at all is what is there — out here on earth in form — a consistent expression that can be depended upon. That is all. Everything else is nothing as far as we are concerned out here. The inner God Being — oh yes, that is all right in the inner realms, but the inner realms have no meaning out here except as we let them, and the unreality that manifests through the individual is nothing. So, what is there? Only that which consistently manifests from the One Source, that comes into outer form and can be used here on earth — only that.

There have been so many foolish, ridiculous ideas come into manifestation within the range of our own Service about the value or importance of an individual because he or she supposed that his or her God Being was such and such. I do not give a snap of my finger what the identity of your God Being is, or what manifestations that God Being had in the past. It has no weight, meaning or value whatsoever in relationship to that which we are doing. The only thing that has any value is what you let come into manifestation in consistent outer form. That which so comes forth is that which can be used in the development of the Cosmic Plan. That which so comes forth is that which determines what place, if any, you shall have in the pattern as it now manifests, and the place that you may have does not necessarily guarantee or say that it is the place you will always have, because others will come into the pattern, and if you are growing there will be an increase, and there will be perhaps some other place that is best for you then and at that time.

Any time the human mind tries to get these things fixed on some arbitrary basis, to know exactly what and where, growth stops; and outer mind self-activity carries on to the point where there is an elimination from the Body — an elimination, not of something worthwhile, but of refuse. Of refuse — why? Because there was no assimilation. That which is actually digested and assimilated becomes a part of the body but that which does not so blend in and with the body sooner or later becomes refuse. Instead of giving primary thought to serving, being a servant to all, there is a good deal of concern about being served — and that is the way to become the least of all, not the greatest of all.

“He who would be great among you, let him be the servant of all.” The attitude involved in such service conditions one to the Patterns of God and opens one, so that the Currents of God can come forth — and from whence does any greatness spring? It springs from God and not from the human self. The human mind, the human form, the human talents and abilities, in and of themselves are nothing. They have a potential in relationship to the things of God, and that is all. That which we allow to come forth from God is that which gives us value.

How does an individual become a specific focalization in some sphere of our Body? How does one become a leader? By consistently letting something of God come forth, so that the individual can be depended upon to always be thus and so, at least with respect to some sphere, be it ever so small. There is something that can be depended upon, something that is always there. The talents an individual has are important, but when the outer mind tries to determine what they are and how they should be used and developed, nothing worthwhile results. In a true process of evolving from the state of the fallen world to the state of the Restoration, nothing, at any point along the way, can become fixed in relationship to the outer manifestation of form until it has reached a point where it conforms absolutely with the Inner Pattern.

There is a state of change. The one thing that is fixed, properly, is our Love Response to God, so that in the fulfilling of the Law the various phases of Truth may be revealed by the cycles of our daily lives. Every day is different. Every pattern of manifestation is different. Things change, and we praise God that they do — either change and movement toward elimination for that which does not Respond, or change and movement toward a higher assimilation for that which does Respond. This process of letting go is something that must be in operation all the time. There are human tendencies to try to pre-determine the nature and extent of one's own value and to try to impose that upon others. It will not work that way.

Why have I had the degree of value that I have had to you? Because I set up certain fixed forms and arbitrary attitudes and said, “Well, now, under such and such a condition you will come to me, or I will see you?” No, because, regardless of anything, there was something there within the scope of my expression which could serve you, could help you move along the Way and accomplish that for which you are here. It was because there was, and is, an expression of service that is not confined to some narrow sphere but that is able to extend into every situation, into every aspect of our function. That is not a claim on my part. It is something that has been demonstrated, and that you know. That example should inspire you — to what? Go and do likewise? How would you go and do likewise? By trying to imitate me? No. There is not room at my point for both of us. One or the other would get pushed out. I do not want to try to fill your point, and I do not think you want to try to fill mine. I have suggested a few times that if any of you wanted to try it I might take a vacation, providing, of course, that you could prove you could do the job.

What is “doing likewise?” What is it for you? It begins with doing all the things that are at hand. We have covered them over and over, but let us see if we can connect them up a little in the sense of a deeper realization. The human being tends to have certain convictions as to what is possible and what is not possible. He tends to govern his concept about and attitude toward the future on the basis of the past. You meet an individual today and his attitude will probably be governed almost entirely by what he has experienced with respect to you in the past. If he has had no contact with you in the past you are not likely to have much meaning at first unless some certain circumstance forces a recognition in some fashion. This business of depending on the past to provide the view of the future can be very misleading.

If our hindsight is but a series of mirrors projected into foresight, it is not going to be a true vision of that which is in the future. The past reveals some important lessons. That which is out of the past in the sense of Reality provides to a high degree that with which we have to work today, but there is, generally speaking, either a pessimism with respect to the future or an unwarranted optimism. If, moving according to the Central Pattern, I undertake to modify the unwarranted optimism, the individual thinks that I am unappreciative of his enthusiasm and reflecting on his vision, etc., and he is inclined to either rebel or become lethargic. On the other hand, if the individual is inclined to the pessimistic view there is, actually, in such a case, a great deal of denial — denying that which is and shall be; there is a holding back; there is not an openness to the free flow of the Spirit of the Living Christ; there is not an effective accomplishment.

Living in this present moment, as we have emphasized, letting the Current of the Spirit manifest now, not holding back, not running ahead of the Lord, we begin to find certain qualities of the Spirit expressing through ourselves in relationship to all circumstances, and if we keep oriented, open, fulfilling the Law, that Current increases day by day because we are opened more fully, cleansed more fully, allowing the things of God to have greater meaning. Sooner or later there is a consistent manifestation of something that is of God appearing through the individual. The moment that becomes absolute, consistent and dependable it becomes a point in the Creative Field. It cannot be considered as a point in the Creative Field until it has reached that state of consistency in the manifestation of the things of God; but once it is there, whatever it is that is of God manifesting through the individual, so that it stands — no matter who comes or goes, what is said or done by anyone, it is there — then that becomes a Focalization in the Creative Field with respect to the Unit or the One Christ Body. The full use of that focus may not immediately appear in the eyes of the individual involved. There may be a lot of waiting, doing meanwhile, but waiting, for the greater fulfilment, while points manifest here, there and everywhere, while the cycles work out, because all of these fulfilments depend upon the degree of response to Reality made manifest in those involved.

“According to thy faith, or response, so be it unto thee.” That has been emphasized from the beginning. Once the current begins to move through the individual, he is inclined to become self-active, trying to use it according to his own vision, trying to make something out of it and trying to set it into a state where it would be recognized. We do not have to try to get God to recognize the things of Reality. We do not have to act as if God simply has no perception with respect to that which is of Himself. We do not have to try to get human beings to recognize it, in the sense of self-aggrandizement at least. We have to let our Light shine so that it can be recognized, but when we work with God in the Creative Cycles of Being we let these things work out in their appointed seasons. We do not have to try to get recognition. God gives the recognition.

The Master said, with respect to prayer, something that deals with this subject very directly: “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.” Now, a good deal of praying among Emissaries has been of that type, trying to make something manifest out here, so that it could be seen of men instead of letting something be established in the Creative Field — a positive point of focus that never is controlled by the outer circumstance. What does He say?

“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you. They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”

It is this statement of our Master's that provides the central, fundamental key in connection with this whole subject as we have been considering it. When we let that which is of God find expression through us we are not concerned by the fact that it is in secret, that it is not seen and known of men immediately. “Thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Why is it stated thus: “Thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly?” So that we may realize that God recognizes those things in human beings that are of Himself. We do not have to convince Him if it is there. If it is there it will be revealed in season. It will be known of God and in season it will be known of men. There is absolutely nothing worthwhile in this world that does not provide a form through which some Aspect of the Living Christ can find manifestation, and its value is only that it does allow the Spirit of the Living Christ to have meaning on earth.

I think you begin to realize more fully the vast array of Aspects which are contained within the Spirit of the Living Christ — these Spirits that are of God are all contained in the One Spirit, and if we are to accept the Pattern as given in Revelation as giving any indication in this matter, it will take at least 144,000 people to give adequate focus — not complete meaning, but adequate focus — to the various Aspects of the Spirit of the Living Christ. Is there any opportunity for you? If we had 144,000 people functioning correctly in relationship to the Plan and Pattern of God we could feel that the focus of that which is the Spirit of the Living Christ is established on earth, but not the fulness of its meaning and expression, because that would take all the people living on earth.

We have the opportunity of providing a Focus Point in the Creative Field by which God can do the works on earth. The consistency of manifestation of that point of focus determines its value. If it is there for one minute and not the next, it has only potential value. No one individual has to be the whole thing. You do not have to be, in the sense of the absolute or ultimate, perfect in all respects. I have known some of those of you who have carried special responsibilities in working with me, to be criticized because someone found this or that wrong with you — someone could find something to criticize in you. Oh yes, I know, but those who have carried those special responsibilities with me have all had one thing in common. There was at least one point where I could depend upon them absolutely at all times, under all circumstances, to be that, without regard to anything else. Maybe they do have their faults, maybe they are not the perfect expression of the Spirit of the Living Christ in all things, maybe they have a lot of room to grow. That is all right. That growing will work out in season if there is that one thing I can depend upon, one thing that is always there, one thing that is never denied by attitude or expression. Those who have been providing that one thing, dependable all the time, are the ones who have been providing what Focus I have had, in this Creative Field, that might be used.

So, I trust that there is further cleansing this morning, and that all vain imaginings about what one's own God Being is, or was, or is going to be, have been set aside and cast out, that each one may realize that that which is of God that finds expression through you in outer form here on earth is that which makes you worthwhile. Nothing else counts, not in this moment. There may be other things that have a potentiality for the future but all that counts now is that which is now in manifest expression on earth, from God through you. Your capacity to let the things of God manifest will surely increase as you let the cycles work, but that potential has no immediate value. It will have value when the form of its expression appears from God.

So, let us not hinder the development and expression of the things of God through one another. Let us not make it harder for one another. Let us seek in all things to serve one another, so that we can make it as easy as possible to allow that which is of the Spirit of the Living Christ to find manifestation, and in so serving, we ourselves will be getting into that position, attitude and condition which will allow the increase of the working of the Spirit of God through us. 

Peace be unto you in the Spirit of the Prince of Peace. Aum-en. I thank God for this hour and for your response therein. “Eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love and serve Him.”

Keeping  Sacred  Things  Sacred

from  Sacred Fulfillment

Martin Cecil   August 22, 1954  100 Mile House, B.C.

This is our evening Service of Sunday, the 22nd day of the eighth month of 1954, the first day of the week, and we come together that we may share in this hour of meditation, trusting that I may find the right words to convey that which I would present to you, and trusting, also, that your response will be such as to make possible the giving of that which is made so freely available of the Spirit of God.

First of all, I would express my appreciation of the manner in which, by and large, you have all been holding steady and, I think, been growing up a little, sharing in an increased understanding of what it means to move toward the point of becoming mature men and women.

This process of waking up, growing up, has been going on, not only here in this Unit but also at Sunrise, and elsewhere in the Lord's Harvest Field, so that there has been a deep realization that it is time to put away childish things and begin to play our part in that Program and Ministry to which we are called in the Name of our LORD and KING, assuming responsibility and recognizing that we are not here to please ourselves, we are not here to follow out the fancies of the human mind and heart, but simply to serve our KING. And one of the essential factors that has been brought so vividly to point by reason of the events and circumstances through which we have been passing [the death of Uranda, Kathy, Al & the children] comes to focus in the recognition of the limitation of time. We have so little time.

Perhaps we may recognize that, while tragedy is never God's Will, nevertheless this particular experience has been an essential factor, if the job for which we are here is to be done. I do not say that in a sense that God designed it to be so. No. There was a better way. But, because of the lethargy, because of the dullness of human hearts and minds, because of the failure in vibrancy of response, the outworking cycles have been so slow in relationship to that field where our particular responsibility rests that it was getting to be so far out of balance with the progress in other fields, the scientific development, for instance, in the world, and the rapidity of progress which is so much in evidence there, while here, in relationship to this pattern where the control with respect to those things out there is supposed to manifest, there was a lagging.

Consequently, we were reaching a point where the balance was so much upset that on the basis of the established cycles it just simply was not going to work out. If we had another century or two, or even another fifty years, perhaps, finally, human beings, somewhere, somehow, might have woken up sufficiently to assume their proper place in the scheme of things, but there just simply is not that length of time.

If there is to be control in relationship to these fields of progress — science, medicine, elsewhere — it must manifest through a control pattern established on earth, and we have had the opportunity to share in letting that control pattern be established. But the progress in establishing it has been so slow that the developments out there in these other fields have got way ahead of it, and, consequently, if this little tragedy — we think of it in the sense of a few people, a great tragedy in other ways — can cause that to be accomplished which will avert the greater tragedy, in relationship to the whole human race, then, surely, it was worthwhile. The cycles that were established on the basis of the degrees of response made manifest, inevitably led toward tragedy of some kind. That has been emphasized over and over. How often have you heard me say, “We do not want any tragedies”? And how often, “What does it take to cause human beings to wake up?”

So, because we have this limitation of time, if something is not done quickly the situation is out of hand, the control is not adequately present on earth in relationship to these other things, and we can see a vast tragedy looming before the human race. Because of the limitation of time, then, there was a need for a shift in the pattern, a change, in such a way that perchance the shock might have the required effect that the long years of Ministry had not. And, during the last two weeks, there has been a growing up, a greater assumption of responsibility, the initiation of something that can yet appear, and must appear. And I thank God for that which has been working in your hearts and minds. So, we may recognize that this tragedy is, in fact, an open door set before us.

I would like to read to you a short passage from the 24th Chapter of Matthew: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the  powers of the heavens shall be shaken.”

We might recognize various applications with respect to these words, but, in times past we have seen that that which needs to be worked out on the grand  scale, that which needs to be accomplished in relationship to the world, for instance, must first be accomplished in miniature. It is because our Master, as an individual, moved through the cycle of His life, here in the world, that the Way was opened for the whole world, not simply because He did it as an individual, so that that somehow, magically, made salvation possible for everyone else, without everyone else doing something also. No. But the cycle was set in motion, the Way was opened, by which all who should choose might share in that which He initiated. And so, with respect to all cycles of outworking, there is the need for accomplishing something in miniature, and we know, from our own standpoint, that these essential changes must come in ourselves as individuals if we are to anticipate that they shall come in the world. In this particular pattern of outworking, then, this circumstance with which we have been faced, in the events that have transpired, we find something which corresponds to that which is here stated.

“The sun shall be darkened.” The sun is the positive expression, or symbolizes the positive expression of the Spirit of God on earth. “The sun shall be darkened, and the moon” — the negative aspect — “shall not give her light.” We have found this circumstance to be true in relationship to Uranda and Kathy. “The sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light. In manifestation, in form on earth, the sun and the moon are physical bodies. “And the stars shall fall from heaven” — literally so, the sun and the moon and the stars. “And the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.” And where are the powers of Heaven supposed to be manifesting? In you, is it not, and in those who share with you the responsibilities of this ministry? “And the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. “Have you been shaken any?

“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven.” The Son of man — what would the Son of man be? That which is brought forth through man, would it not? That which expresses from man. That which is made manifest by reason of man. This refers, specifically, then, in the manner in which it is used, to the true Being of man, just as the Son of God is the true Being of God, revealed, made manifest. And the true Being of man is the true Being of God made manifest on earth. “The sign of the Son of man” — the evidence, that which reveals the true Being of man on earth. And it is in Heaven, and we know that Heaven is not very far away. Heaven and earth are one, in fact, except insofar as the consciousness of man is concerned, in his fallen state. The evidence, then, of the true Being of man must appear in Heaven, in the invisible realm, right here on earth. “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven” — the true Being of man, something which gives evidence of maturity, of the acceptance of responsibility, of becoming men and women as God created them be. Here we have a cycle of outworking which reveals that which should appear, and which, to some degree, has been appearing.

“And then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn.” That which is centered in the world causes mourning. You know, we need to be centered in true Being, in that which is, not in that which you think is not. To the degree that you have been centered in something that was not there, or you thought was not there any more, you have found cause for mourning, for sadness, for grief, emptiness. If you are centered in something that is not there, you are centered in nothing, and consequently you will be empty inside. But if you are centered in that which is, that which is present now, real Being, then you are centered in that which is, and that which is, is the source of all that is needful in relationship to ourselves. There is no emptiness. So, let us not be of the tribes of the earth who mourn. We are not centered in that which is below us but in that which is above us. What is it that is above us? The true Being of God, and the true Being of God is not any less today than it was a week ago, or a month ago, or a year ago, or a thousand years ago. The true Being of God is just as full and perfect now, in this hour, as it ever was.

“And they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” — the Son of man, the true Being of man made manifest on earth, coming in the clouds of heaven. The cloud of Glory. We shall be considering something more with respect to this cloud in the days to come, but there is to be power and great glory, and power results from the Presence, in active expression, of the Spirit of God. “And ye shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you.” Power and great glory. Glory relates to life, the glory of life on earth.

We find in these words, as we touch upon them briefly, something which relates to the pattern as we have seen it unfolding, and as we, ourselves, have experienced it. We may recognize that there is far more, in relationship to the application, than we have seen thus far, but nevertheless, in this, which in one sense is a miniature cycle, is here revealed for our edification, words spoken by our Master nineteen centuries ago. And we have before us an open door for the fulfilment of those purposes to which Uranda's life was, and is, dedicated, and to which our lives are dedicated as we let ourselves be compelled to fulfil our responsibilities under the influence and the control of the Spirit of God. 

There is that, in relationship to this particular cycle of outworking, which I would bring to focus tonight, if I may, trusting you. So often, in times past, sacred and holy things have been committed to the charge of human beings who were supposed to be responsible, and they have betrayed the trust, destroyed and disrupted, that which could, and should, have been a blessing. But we come to the point now where I feel that I may trust you, by reason of that measure of growing up which you have been doing this last little while, trust you to keep sacred and holy those precious things which God commits to our charge. Our Master instructed, “Cast not your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under feet and turn again and rend you.” That, sometimes in times past, has been the pattern, but I feel that the swine of the impure heart and the self-active mind may have been sufficiently cleansed and stilled that if I commit pearls to your charge you shall not trample them under feet nor turn again and rend me, for we must move forward, and we must prove trustworthy.

And the things of which I would speak are for you, to keep sacred, just as God instructed in the beginning, when he planted the garden Eastward in Eden and told man to keep it and to dress it, to hold it precious, to give it form, the Spirit of it, in living, but not in talking, speaking out of turn. And that is one of the problems we have had to deal with all the time, people talking, talking, talking, not knowing enough to keep quiet, not recognizing the sacredness of the responsibility that rests upon them, of all the people of the earth. Of all the people of the earth, there must be those who are found to be trustworthy, who can keep sacred things sacred, who do not classify themselves as swine, trampling pearls under feet and rending those through whom the pearls are made manifest. And that has been so often made manifest, in times past.

Have we now come to the point where we can be trusted? If we have not yet come to that point, having passed through these events, what would it take to bring us to that point? If you stop to consider anything that might have been more of a test, something that you could have devised that would have been a more violent shock to you, I would like to know what it would be other than this present outworking. And if this does not do it, what else will? So, having the opportunity before us, the open door, and not being able, myself, to conceive of anything which would produce the desired result other than that which has transpired, we must assume that it has produced the desired result. That is the only basis upon which we can move forward, and that you can be trusted adequately, at this point, to keep sacred things sacred, and to recognize pearls when you see them.

Seven years ago, when I first moved into the pattern to take my place of responsibility with Uranda, we came into agreement upon certain matters, in the recognition that “Where two of you shall agree on earth as touching the things of God, it shall be done of our Father which is in Heaven.” In 1947 — seven years ago — we came into agreement as touching certain matters. I have, here, a copy in which these points of agreement are set out. I do not propose to read all of them to you tonight — just certain ones, which we need to recognize and accept. When we come into agreement in relationship to the things of God we do not arbitrarily say, “It must work out this way, or that way. It must be this individual or that individual. It must be within this specified time.” We place no limitations upon it, and we say, simply, that it must work out in God's way, according to His Will. And His Will is allowed to find manifestation on earth according to the responses of human beings. And so, sometimes, something becomes God's Will, not because it was originally God's Will but because human beings make it so, and the events in our Master's life, the conclusion of his Ministry, were just that. It became God's Will because there was no other way. And in relationship to this pattern, it has become God's Will because there was no other way, for human beings would allow no other way to appear. And so we have these points of agreement:

1. “We agree on earth that the Currents of Divine Power must now properly focalize to allow all obstacles to be removed by correct procedures, at the earliest possible point in the cycle consistent with the Divine Plan and Will in order to permit the manifestation of the ideal balance and blending of the Positive and Negative phases of the focalization of the Spirit of Life on earth.”

Now you have recognized that the Spirit of Love finds focus in our LORD and KING; and the Spirit of Truth finds focus in Uranda; and the Spirit of Life finds focus in me. By reason of the pattern of this outworking, we come to the point where the Spirit of Love and the Spirit of Truth come to balance in the Spirit of Life. The Spirit of Love and the Spirit of Truth are both invisible. There is no specific focalization for the Spirit of Truth in individual form, on earth, just as there is no specific focalization, in individual form, of the Spirit of Love on earth. But Life is the child of Love and Truth — fathered by Love and mothered by Truth — and the balance of Love and Truth, then, comes to focus in the Spirit of Life. And what is it that our Ministry is designed to accomplish? To make possible the Resurrection and the Life for the world — without tragedy. There will be some tragedy, but without that vast tragedy which will appear, surely and certainly, unless the essential elements of control are established on earth. Through whom? Through you, and through those who share with you in this Ministry. Who else would do it? And so, the Spirit of Life needs to enter into you so that you may know the Reality of the Resurrection and the Life — perhaps we might say a miniature cycle in relationship to you, and it is that toward which we have been moving all these years, so that the greater manifestation may be allowed to appear. But unless, and until, it appears through you and through those who share with you in this Ministry, it cannot appear in the world.

2. “We agree on earth that it is absolutely essential to the fulfilment of the Commission that rests, by Divine Decree of the LORD of Lords, upon the ordained focalization of the Spirit of Life on earth, that he shall draw to himself, by the irresistible cords of Love, the ideal negative aspect of himself, that there may be a manifestation of perfect balance in the expression of the Spirit of Life on earth, as ordained by the Creator from the foundation of the world.”

3. “We agree on earth, that the culmination in manifestation of the union of the positive and negative phases of the focalization of the Spirit of Life, in the Negative Triune World, is properly recognized as symbolizing, and as being essential to, the absolute focalization and initial creative climax of the union of the Lord of the Sacred Seven and His Bride, the One Christ Body on earth.”

We came to agreement seven years ago, without questioning as to how these fulfillments should appear. Certainly, at that time, we had no expectation that this particular pattern should be the basis for the outworking, but, coming into agreement on earth, it shall be done. And so, we find, in the natural cycles unfolding, that during the course of these seven years, I have, in the sense of providing the positive focalization of the Spirit of Life on earth, stood alone. I do not mean to say that you, and others, have not worked with me in the pattern, playing your parts. I would not be here now if that were not so. But it has taken seven years to come to the point where the cycles have cleared and the way is open for the fulfilment, or the initial phases of the fulfilment, in relationship to these points of agreement.

Some of you have known Lillian for a number of years. You have watched her, according to your understanding, playing her part in the pattern of focalization which Uranda had established. In that regard, she would be the first to admit that she had been put through a rigorous training, a training that few, if any, other women on the face of the earth would have been willing to pass through. And in that focalization she has provided a focus for the Spirit of the New Earth, here in the world. That has been her place. And in that place she has a peculiar relationship to all of you, and to all who are a part of this Ministry. The New Earth. And you are moving into the pattern of the manifestation of the One Christ Body on earth, which is to be the New Earth. And that which needs to work out in the cycles of fulfilment for the whole has been, is, and will be, working out in the one who provides the focus of the Spirit of the New Earth, here, for you.

So it is that naturally, in the unfolding cycles, she moves into her place to stand at my side. And you may recognize something that, while we have had sorrow, yet reveals how it is that sorrow may be turned to joy, joy in which we all may share, for we behold the outworking cycles of God's Will on earth, not because anyone tried to make it so, not because it was all figured out in advance, not because there was any insistence that it had to be within a certain period of time, but because there has been trust, patience, and the steadfast fulfilment of responsibility, that it might appear in the Seasons of the Lord. And so is it established. As the necessary legal aspects of the matter can be worked out, Lillian will become my wife.

I know that it would have been Uranda's desire, a desire closest to his heart, to have been here in person to conduct the marriage ceremony. It is not actually necessary that he should be, but that would have been my desire, too. From the standpoint of the Divine Pattern, from the standpoint of God's Will in the fulfilment of these agreements, it is established. And in conformity with the Laws of God and of man there are certain other formalities which must be allowed to operate. But, if you can see in this, which has brought so much joy to my heart — and I believe to Lillian's, and I trust, to yours — the sure working of the Power of God on earth, when the essential factors are here on earth to let it work, then you may have confidence to move with assurance into that position which is your responsibility in letting the Power of God work.

You know, Uranda and I came into agreement because we were both here. That was the basis of our agreement. He is no longer here. I cannot come into agreement with him on earth any more! And we had, stretched between us on the surface of the earth, a line — a life-line — the base of a triangle, but insofar as he and I are concerned, that line is no longer on the surface of the earth. That line is still there, yes. There is a line just the same, to him and to the LORD of Lords. There has been no change in that respect, except that it does not manifest on the surface of the earth. But there is a line on the surface of the earth, and the maintenance of that line is your responsibility, and the responsibility of the Unit at Sunrise Ranch, because that line stretches between you and them now. Uranda and I maintained it together for seven years. We held the line for seven years, and now it is up to you to hold the line, to hold your end of the line, your point. And you may remember, just before I left you, after Christmas last year, that I told you that it was expedient for you that I go away. I told you that this place was your responsibility, not mine. You may have believed me, perhaps, intellectually speaking, but I do not think you really saw what I was saying. Perhaps you begin to see it now.

This is your responsibility, right here, as a Unit, in agreement with each other and in agreement with the Unit at Sunrise Ranch, that together you may hold that line stretched upon the surface of the earth, the line by which all things were created in the beginning. The Lord asked Job if he knew who stretched the line upon it. You have come to know who did it, and now it is yours, it is for you. And because the balance and blending in the Spirit of Life, in relationship to the positive and negative phases, appears in manifestation on earth, the Way is wide open for you. An open door has been set before you.

I thank God for you, each and every one. I thank God for those who serve so faithfully on Sunrise Ranch, each and every one. I thank God for those who serve so faithfully in the field, wherever they may be, each and every one; for, all together, in the oneness of the Spirit of God, finding focus on earth in the Spirit of Life made manifest in you, God's Will may be done, the Purposes of His coming into the world justified and made meaningful, and the outworking with respect to Uranda, Kathy, Al, and the children, not something in vain. “And ye shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you.” God Bless you as you let it be so. Peace be unto you, in the Holy Name of my LORD and KING, and in the Name of the Lord of Truth. Peace be unto you.
