Those who read my Word with an Eye to the Word within the word, willing to understand in Spirit and in Truth, will recognize the Open Way, and they will hear My Voice, even as they have heard My Voice in all generations. To all who shall inquire as to my authority, my answer is, “I AM THAT I AM hath sent me.” [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2017/06/hear-speak-from-shekinah-patterns.html]
Since the days of Abraham I have dwelt much with the Children of Israel, and the righteous have given heed to my Word which I have spoken through the centuries by commandment of the LORD OUR GOD. Since the days of the Garden of Eden I have dwelt at appointed times in all nations and with all peoples. There is no land on earth that has not heard my spoken Word, and there is no people on earth but what has been changed at the sound of My Voice. I am ageless, without beginning and without end. Those who harken unto me, find the Open Way before them, that they may know God, even as God knows them. Those who scoff at My Voice and at My Word, find that the Bottomless Pit is opened unto them, and they go into oblivion.
In the Motherland, My Voice called in all Love to the peoples of the earth, but the masses of mankind harkened not, but scoffed at My Word, and so it was that they perished in the Fire which engulfed the Garden of Eden. Before the flood was, I was sent of God to warn the peoples of the earth, but again they scoffed, and all of the then known peoples, save Noah and the members of his Tribe who obeyed My Word, were engulfed in the destroying waters. I was sent unto the Egyptians of old, bearing the Word of the LORD, but they harkened not, and in their rebellion they perished as a nation. Out of their failure a New Issue was born in the earth, and under My Hand the Children of Israel became a great nation, though I had first made a great nation out of Egypt.
When Israel dwelt at peace, I again came unto them, and gave them wisdom and riches and glory; but the people waxed proud, becoming selfish and self-willed, so that they became divided. As a nation they attempted to withdraw from the world, as being superior to the world, and so failed to bless the world. Being filled with pride and arrogance, and having refused to hear the Word of the LORD which I brought unto them, a portion were carried away captive into Babylon, and I went with them as a prophet to give them the Light. However, most of them refused to harken.
As we near the climax of the history of man's world, it is natural that a number of conditions should come forth as evidence of man's misuse of the great opportunities granted unto him. It is natural that some should so Respond to Reality that they might still, in a measure, fulfill that to which they were first called—and these are they who have Spiritual Vision which transcends the boundaries of race or creed, so that they function in Love, as Pure Gold brought forth from the Fires of hell; for these are they who are the first-fruits of all the Tribes of Israel as they are gathered from every corner of the earth—for all the Earnest Ones of all nations, and tongues and peoples are the Children of Israel, according to their response to the Most High.
On the other hand, another result to be seen, is that of the soulless, misshapen monster, which has been formed in the hell within a hell, and which has been fed upon lusts of every kind: upon fear, upon hate, upon greed, and upon desire for power, so that this monster is now being released by its creators, and caused to come forth into the outer hell, that it may swallow up the world which man has made, and that through it, according to their plan, its creators may rule the whole earth. Nevertheless, though it may seem to gain the victory, and though it may strike terror to the hearts of those who begin to see it, so that they are, in turn, caused to do things most hideous in their attempts to fight against it, there is a Decree gone forth from the Most High, for thus saith the LORD God of Hosts:
“This thing which man has made in his pride, and by which he thinks to set himself up in the high places of the earth, Behold, it shall return with vengeance upon those who made it, and it shall devour its creators from the face of the whole earth, and Lo, there shall be no rest for them Day nor Night until they shall all have perished; whereupon the monster shall die the death eternal, and My Kingdom shall fill the whole Earth. Behold I, the LORD Thy God, have spoken it by the mouth of My faithful Servant, that those who hear his Voice may not fear for those things which come to pass on the earth, but that all who will may abide in My Love and in My Peace. Repent, therefore, and come out of her, My People, that ye be not partakers of her sins. Come unto Me, and I will give you Rest.”
In the world, without respect to nation, race or creed, there are two primary Groups, and each has a Destiny—not a destiny of fate but a destiny by choice. Every man, woman and child upon the face of the earth will harmonize with one group or the other, according to the free right of choice vested in each one. One Group will cling to the man-made world, and struggle to maintain hell on earth. The other Group, whose Destiny by choice is that of the Eternal Kingdom, shall be to the world in this day, that which the Children of Israel could have been in the days of old. All who Respond to Reality, and let go in Love, shall surely be uplifted into this Group of Earnest Ones, whose Destiny is controlled by God through the Third Sacred School.
In the Third Sacred School there is an understanding of the Way. No matter how wise the children of men may be, we are wiser still. No matter how cunning the works of man may be, and no matter how destructive, we will not fight against them, but we will use them in accomplishing the Will of God. No matter how much man may try to fight against us, we cannot be hurt nor disturbed, for man can find nothing to take hold of, and his every effort against us will but be turned upon his own head, and he shall destroy himself. Only those who Respond in Love will be able to see the Open Way.
As far as we are concerned, there are only two Groups in the world. Each must make his own choice. Shortly there will be no half-way place. Rapidly it is reaching a point where you either are, or you are not, on the side of God. No ifs or buts of any kind have any weight—you can have no reservations when you come to find the Open Way. Those who come with reservations will find that their reservations await them and will carry them away into the hells which man has made. The time draws near when Great Works shall be made manifest in the earth.
From within the Temple of Light, where sinful man cannot come no matter how he may try, we use all the forces which man generates in the world according to our will, which is the Will of God working through us. The great forces by which man has thought to gain his own ends, and which he has so painstakingly built with great struggle, we now take and use, and man is helpless to prevent it, no matter who, nor where, nor what he may be, nor of what world group he may be a part. Since this is true, we have nothing to fear from the world. We will receive those who receive us, but we will depart from those who receive us not, and we shall shake the dust from our feet as we go, withdrawing our peace from them, that they may quickly reap that which they have sown. No matter how lowly, or how sinful, or how limited, or how insignificant, any may be, if he will but Respond in Love we will gladly Serve him where he is, and if he shall be steadfast we shall lift him up in the Ascending Flame.
However, we shall ignore these who respond not, and though they suffer the tortures of the hell which they created, we will be unmoved until they shall Respond to us. In no case will we respond to them. Those who come within the Third Sacred School will learn what it is to obey in Love and in Joy. Those who refuse to obey, or who are not truthful in word and in deed, and who turn away in thought and in attitude, shall be quickly released, that they may go the way of their choice, and we will not cling to them, but let them go. Our Power is greater than all the power of all nations on earth, and the wealth of those who think they are rich is as nothing before us. Those who prove to be worthy, and those who are of a Pure Heart, shall know of the Way and of the Program of God, but the Way and the Program are fully hidden from all others, and they cannot be found out by the children of men.
Thrice blessed are they who dwell in the world which God has made, and which is now in the earth. Insofar as the Third Sacred School is concerned, all are the children of men who need to become the Children of God. He who fights against any race or nation, fights against himself—and by his own fighting shall he be destroyed. He who hates any man, or any ruler, or any race, thereby hates himself, and hate shall devour him. He who lets the Christ Love Radiate to all alike, responding to no man, but Responding to the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, so that he functions truly in the Third Sacred School, shall find that Love shall devour him, and he shall be lifted up into Oneness with his Lord.
There is only One Way for all mankind, no matter of what race. The fires of one hell are burning into the fires of the other hell, and each shall consume the other until neither shall be any more at all forever and ever. Rejoice in the LORD that it is so. In this every Earnest One of every race finds a Call to Service, that through Response he may function in the Creative Cycle by which the world movements may be stabilized, and caused to swing toward that Perfect State which is the Will of God for all people. In the Radiance of the Christ Love all Needs of all peoples will be filled, first with the vibrations of Perfection, that around the vibrations a new and Perfect Form may manifest and function. Those who Respond to Love will be used by God in performing His Wonders in the earth, but those who respond to hate and fear shall surely destroy themselves. Let Love Radiate, to all alike, that each may receive according to his or her Response. Let Love Radiate.
In these precious moments of beginning do we dare to be still? Do we in fact know the Way of Stillness? Each moment is a beginning. What is it that shall fill that moment of beginning? Something stale brought forward out of the past? or shall it be the Word, spoken out of heaven? When it is that, it is always new, fresh, never spoken before: a still, small voice coming out of heaven into the realm of form. Initially it is a still, small voice, the voice of truth, the first of the four creative forces, symbolized by water. In the earthly sense we have considered these four forces, recognizing that they are inherent in the creative process. They tend to be seen as sequential events: water, air, earth, fire. From the heavenly standpoint they are concurrent events. It is only emerging into the dimensional realm that there seems to be a sequence. If they are in fact concurrent they are all always present.
To describe what the truth is in earthly words can at best only give a hint; the truth cannot really be explained. To be known it must be known. We have called that experience. In earthly words it could be said that the air, the second force, is contained in the water force, and the earth in the air force, and the fire in the earth force. Such a description tends to evoke concepts.
We could see something here with respect to this planet. We are well aware that there have been some rather violent events related to this planet. Many of them were consequent upon disturbance in the solar system; so what can be now observed is not necessarily a true symbol. We think of water as being on the surface of the earth, most of it salty—vast oceans. Certainly what I was indicating with respect to the various forces being within each other doesn’t seem to apply, but we may possibly envision a canopy of water, possibly water vapor—we do have clouds—but in ages past a canopy of water in some form, enclosing the atmosphere of the planet. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2017/08/seth-enoch-noah-from-story-of-man-grace.html] There is a story about a rather horrific flood at one time, which might occur if such a canopy were in existence and collapsed. It would prove to be wet. One may envision such a canopy, without knowing what it was, surrounding the atmosphere of the earth, and the atmosphere of the earth surrounds the earth, and there is certainly fire at the core of the earth. So we have four concurrent forces in such a symbol, concurrent even in the realm of form.
However, for a creative process to operate, there may be an awareness of pulsation. We have spoken of a rising tide. There are pulsations which work by reason of the four forces; and with the creative process, within which we are present, and our true responsibility is to accommodate this creative process. Human beings have been evidently out of position, so that they have been pushed back and forth by the creative process, no longer providing the facility which would accommodate its motion. Human experience is, generally speaking, that of resisting the pulsations of the creative process. It may not be a deliberate resistance of those processes, or those pulsations, because there is little awareness of them; but it is resistance nevertheless, because human beings want to do what they want to do. They have their own human priorities which are deemed to be greater and more important than the cosmic creative process, so that one might say, at this point, inadvertently the pulsations of the creative process are as far as possible ignored in favor of doing one’s own thing in the human sense. We have all been caught in this peculiar state of affairs.
It is rather a futile thing to resist the pulsations of the creative process, because they are certainly not going to be stopped by human resistance. All that happens is that the resister gets pushed out of the way. Recognizing this, to whatever degree we have, we have done a little repenting. The repentance relates to this matter of resisting the creative pulsations. We begin to see how silly it is to do so, and we certainly suffer the consequences of such resistance; and then, as is the human habit, we complain about it. But we ourselves produced whatever it was that happened; it was nobody else’s fault. We have been moving toward the point where we might honestly acknowledge this. It seems to be quite a long passage. We can acknowledge it with our lips, and sagely nod our heads, but actually to do it requires sackcloth and ashes—a genuine acknowledgment of what we have been doing, so that we do not excuse ourselves or justify ourselves by looking around and finding someone else whom we deem to be resistant to the creative pulsations. It doesn’t really matter what anyone else is doing; it always comes right directly home to oneself. In this sense there isn’t anyone else on earth.
One is completely alone in the matter of repentance. One is coming out of a resistant, separate state, where the endeavor always was to get one’s own way as far as possible, so that one was in conflict with others—coming out of that state to the point of stillness. The point of stillness is also the point of repentance, where there is an absolute and honest acknowledgment that one is responsible oneself alone; one is completely alone in this. It has been said that a person is born all alone and dies all alone. This is an experience of death, and it happens all alone. Other people may possibly be dying all around, but one dies for oneself; and this dying relates to the resistant person, the unrepentant person, who has justified resistance because of the behavior of others, perhaps because of the state of the world.
Finally we come to the point of honesty, where we acknowledge the fact that there is no means of justifying the fact that we have been resistant and unaccommodating insofar as the creative pulsations were concerned. These are of a cosmic nature, and whether human beings resist them or not makes little difference insofar as the pulsations are concerned, but it makes a lot of difference to those who resist. It kills us anyway, resistance. We might as well die right away, simply by letting that resistant person pass away and finding ourselves in the Way of Stillness, where we have nobody to blame, no justifications anymore at our fingertips, but just still in mind and in heart, open to receive what is present constantly of the pulsations of the creative process.
Man was created to accommodate these pulsations, so that they might be translated into what we have called spiritual expression in the dimensional realm, in the earth. That accommodation receives into natural expression these pulsations differentiated into the four forces, as we have called them. The fact that we have called them that hasn’t acquainted anyone with what they really are. One has to be capable of accommodating the creative process to know, and we have the essential equipment for that accommodation. It is a bit rusty, true enough; it hasn’t been used for twenty thousand years; so there is something required to get it into gear again. The first thing that is required is to let what has been resisting it pass away. What has been resisting it is “what I want to do.” Individually we all have our wants, our desires; we like this and we like that and we don’t like the other thing. This is the basis for human government, isn’t it, individually and collectively.
Be still. Stop the nonsense. Come to point. The definition of a point is it has no magnitude: position, whatever that means, but no magnitude. Nothing. What a fearful thing to be nothing; and all that is, being nothing, is the space present in mind and heart. That no longer maintains the human identity, the human ego, which wants so much—it wants to achieve, it wants great things for itself; it wants to blow itself up, like one of these fat frogs. In any case, it only takes a little pinprick to deflate it; and every time, somewhere along the way, the deflation occurs, and there is nothing left but a flabby little piece of rubberized frog. What great achievement! That is all that human beings can achieve. They fool themselves, for a while of course, while the frog is still inflated, but eventually it is gone; it might as well never have been. So there is the Way of Stillness, which allows the mind and the heart to be emptied of the rubbish, to be available to receive what it is that is emerging in the creative process—in fact to receive the creative process, the pulsations of it.
There is a story contained in the Bible concerning Elijah, the prophet, who accommodated the pulsations of the creative process very well at one point. The story tells of the fire falling from heaven, the emergence of the fire force, because what was deemed to be a sequence in earthly terms had occurred. And the next pulsation would be on hand to move forward: water. There was a great rain, considerable evidence of water. This broke a long-standing drought, and Elijah was still accommodating the pulsations of the creative process. It made him quite a runner; he ran before the king to town, very much aware of the power of the creative process. One is aware of it if one is accommodating it. If one isn’t, one may become a little aware of it in other ways, more painful and dis- pleasing ways. But you may recall that the queen, Jezebel, made some threats against the life of Elijah. And at that point—maybe Elijah was tired after his run—he became afraid, fearful for his own life. Jezebel represents very well the usual human nature behavior. This wishes to destroy any evidence of the creative process, which would eliminate all human nature behavior; and human nature seems to have all the cards to enforce the destructive action. So Elijah became subject to fear, and in that very moment ceased to accommodate the creative process.
This is a very apt illustration of the way Emissaries sometimes behave. Something begins to roll because the creative process is being accommodated in some measure, but then, for whatever reason, there is a fearful reaction and it is all dissipated. On this occasion it was dissipated for Elijah, whom we recognize now as providing us with a mirror image of our own experience. Once these pulsations are no longer being accommodated, the whole creative cycle is aborted within the experience of the one who is no longer accommodating the process. Of course this has an effect on other people as well. Nothing can happen until whatever those pulsations were, in that particular aspect of the creative cycle, have expended themselves; only then can there be a new beginning. You cannot fail somewhere along the way and then say, “Oh I’m so sorry; now I will start again.” It doesn’t work. There has been a lot of that: a failure to realize that there are in fact creative pulsations. You cannot ignore them.
So in this instance Elijah was apparently in a cave—that is where one puts oneself when one aborts the creative cycle: you find yourself in a cave in the dark. Then it is usually complained about; and one looks around to find someone to blame for it. In the dark I suppose you can’t see too well in the mirror! Elijah did a certain amount of complaining, rehearsing all the wonderful things that he had done while he was accommodating the creative cycle. Well that was fine back there, but he wasn’t accommodating it now—that was the point. He kept telling the Lord, as it is put here, over and over again, how much he had done in the past. Well I don’t suppose the Lord was ignorant on that score; He didn’t need to be told. But what are you doing now? That is the question, always. We have occasionally had those who thought of themselves as having been very valuable to the Lord in times past, and they keep bringing this forward as a justification for failing to be of value now. It doesn’t do any good. The present moment is the only one we have. You had better be valuable there; otherwise you are not valuable, no matter what happened in the past.
Finally, as very often happens in our own experience, the Lord gets our attention, one way or another. “And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord”—get to where you belong, rise up out of this cave state. “And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains.” There had been the rain but the cycle had been aborted; here was the wind, the air. “… and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord”—some violence involved here, maybe a hurricane—“but the Lord was not in the wind.” No, because the pulsations were not being accommodated, in this instance by Elijah, but it happens to all of us too. We have separated ourselves from the creative cycle and it is acting upon us. “… but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: “And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire.” So here this pulsation had expended itself without Elijah being on hand to accommodate it. Of course this occurred because of his fear. Fear excludes the awareness of the pulsations of the creative process. So the cycle was aborted, but it had to work itself out to the point where there could be the acceptance once again by Elijah of the beginning point. Instead of this violent downpour of rain breaking the drought, it turned out to be a still, small voice. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2019/03/in-martin-cecil-february-15-1981-p.html]
“… and after the fire a still small voice.” We are concerned with accommodating the pulsations of the creative cycle as they are now. The point of initiation is a still, small voice. Quite fitting, isn’t it, that we are concerning ourselves with the Way of Stillness. It is not a matter of thinking about these things, talking about these things merely, but of accommodating the fact. There is a creative pulsation now. Are we capable of receiving it into the expression of our own living? Or are we so busy about our affairs that we maybe don’t notice it, to start with? Then if it does come within the range of our awareness we shake our heads and say no, because in moving with these things we don’t move according to the usual human habits.
This morning I woke up before the alarm went off—I need an alarm sometimes to get up on Sunday—and I started to get up, and Lillian said, “You’re not getting up now, are you?” Why not? It is not the usual human habit to get up before the alarm goes off, but if in accommodating the pulsations of the creative cycle one was impelled to get up at two o’clock in the morning, you get up at two o’clock in the morning, and it is not something to question. Some people complain about the fact that they can’t sleep—I’m talking about those who find themselves in such a state from time to time. They feel there is something wrong with the fact that they can’t sleep, and they are struggling with it and objecting to it. They want to sleep, but can’t. There is a human ego wanting something, can’t get it, complains about it, objects to it, instead of accepting the situation as it is. What’s wrong with it?
All things can be used to advantage if we accommodate the pulsations of the creative cycle. We find it all fits together, and human habits get broken in pieces. We don’t do the things that we want to do, or do the things that we don’t want to do; all we do is, with our hearts and minds, accommodate the creative cycle, whatever the pulsation may be. Let it be there. But we will never do that unless there is stillness. If we are busy thinking that we know the way things should be, how they should be in our own experience or in the experience of somebody else, we do not have any space available to know in the moment what that creative pulse of the spirit is. We’re so chockablock with human habits, and we are very distressed if someone interferes with them. Let’s be delighted! This is what needs to dissolve and pass away, that there may be an accommodation of the creative process; and that cannot be known except in the Way of Stillness.
You know how it is in a social setting: if there is a lull in the conversation, so that silence prevails for a few moments, there is an inclination for everybody to be very uncomfortable about it, fill it up with chatter—as though there was nothing else—which excludes the awareness of the pulsations of the creative process. Be still. It seems like an interesting contradiction, that when you are still you discover that there is considerable activity. The pulsations of the creative process of the universe are moving. They come out of heaven into the earth when there is someone present who will let it be so. But if we are busy about our own affairs, trying to do this and do that and achieve great things, we don’t know a thing about it. Be still!
We have these moments now, while we are together, touching into all this consciously, to become aware of the Way of Stillness. Usually this is thought of in terms of sleep: if you get still enough you’ll be asleep. That is a very different thing. In the beginning—each moment is a beginning—is the Word, is the creative process. All things were made in this fashion, by reason of the creative process; nothing is present that did not appear because of this. So we share the creative process quite naturally when we repent of our evil ways. “Oh I’m not an evil person.” No? Who said so? “Well you did.” Is it true? An evil person in that sense is a person who is not accommodating the creative cycle—a separate person, a person all on his or her own. Come into the creative process.
Come into the spiritual Body of Being. In isolation there is nothing, but in this Body there is everything. And in this Body we become aware of the creative compulsions that are present, and we share the awareness of them easily and naturally, without getting big heads, without all that self-importance. Be still, and know the truth. Lose your self. Die. And live! Discover what life is. So we move together in this process in this hour, but let it be consistent in all the hours and days to come.
John Gray — Martin, our human bodies and minds and hearts were produced in the first place by the creative process and are adequately capable of accommodating the creative process. Of course when used for other things, that truth isn’t known. But when, as you emphasized, we cease from such activity the space becomes available, the still space, in which the point of true beginning is known. That is unfathomable to the bright intellect, because it precedes cognition in this usual human sense, though the willingness must be there to trust the way life works in order to experience the way life works. Be still, and know.
I'd like to sound the vowels On Tone in conjunction with the processes of radiation in the vibratory sense utilizing words that are really adapting of the Motherland Tongue. We do not have the right vibratory field as yet to permit the use of the Motherland Tongue's pure or complete expression, but we do have enough of a vibratory field to use some adaptions, some of the principles involved. And if I undertake to utilize a little of this principle this morning for you, it's not so much to cause you to be concerned about the words that are used or the combinations of sound, as it is to emphasize the importance of tonal quality. Now, you may notice that I am inclined to disregard some of the—what I conceive to be—limitations of the musical scale as ordinarily used. And so, if some of you imagine that it should be exactly on some note or other instead of where it is, please don't lose the blessing that is possible to you, because I don't use that scale as it is ordinarily used. I use a different principle—the same basic principle but it manifests a different principle of application.
And so, my primary concern is to help you realize in our special exercise—not that you'll be attempting to do it—the factors that can actually, even in its present limited level of consciousness and vibratory perception, it can actually be conveyed. It is still more limited in the realm of ordinary speaking, it's true, and we experience something of this in true singing—I’m not suggesting that I'm going to sing. It isn't in the ordinary sense, singing. But it is expression On Tone in the sense of vibratory radiation. Its primary purpose is that radiation so that you can have an opportunity to practice letting go to the currents that are in radiation with the help of auditory perception.
Now it's one thing for us to have the currents working just silently without anything to particularly center your attention. Your minds, if I were to stand here and work in the current of radiation without making any sound, without doing anything, your minds would tend to get involved in your own thought processes. You might even start thinking about the baby making the little sounds. The baby is perfectly all right and you don't need to pay any attention to the baby. A thousand and one things might tend to intrude upon your consciousness or you might let your mind slip over to, well, wherever minds slip to.
One of the basic things that we are here to learn is to get your scattered pieces back together. How often do you find yourself in a position where your body is in one place, your heart is in another place, and your mind is still in another place? If you had more parts you'd be more widely scattered. The principle of getting body and mind and heart together, in one place, in agreement, in alignment, is of vital importance. You cannot have your body in one place, and your mind in another, and your heart in another, and be a complete human being. You will find that you do not have to scatter yourself in order to include all that belongs to your vibratory pattern. I'll just touch on this point, briefly, at the moment, to help you have a clear realization of the principle, but I cannot expect you to understand the deeper aspects of it until you have made a considerable degree of progress from the point where you are.
However if you remember the illustration I gave the other day with respect to the tent, and you in the tent. Now, if you are there, that means the whole soul is there: your body, your mind, your heart—you. It doesn't mean that your heart is going on a trip to Timbuktu, or that your mind is playing around in Shanghai, China, and your body just happens to be geographically on Sunrise Ranch. We are undertaking to produce a situation wherein you, the whole you, are at one point, at one time. Now, how much of the time of your existence do you suppose you have that actual state?—precious little, actually, if you stop to think about it—the whole you at any one point at one time. It doesn't tend to be so. Why do people undertake to drown their sorrows with the liqueurs that destroy spiritual sensitivity? Because they are not whole persons, part of them got away somewhere, stuck over yonder. They don't know where, or perhaps they think they know where, and they undertake to drink something that will give them a few moments of peace—it's gold-brick peace made out of lead; it's no good.
But the point is that these patterns of insecurity and uncertainty which beset the world and which destroy so much potentiality of happiness and success derive from a state of scattered personality. The scattered soul is an ineffectual soul. Remember that! When you are dealing with others in helping them along the way, you may not mention this particular point right to start with, but you must somehow begin to inspire human beings to come to point in relationship to themselves, their scattered soul, their ineffectual soul. Their bodies are ill, their minds are in turmoil, their hearts are places of discord and conflict and uncertainly, insecurity. You cannot be of any real service to anyone until you begin to deliberately and with understanding, with wisdom, having the sense of the fitness of things, to deliberately begin to inspire the individual to become a whole person in a sense of his own factors. You cannot cause a body as such to become whole, that is, in a true sense of healing, while the individual himself is so out of alignment that his mind is in one place, where it's flitting hither and yon, his heart is in another place and his body just happens to be where it's plunked down.
We need to be whole in the sense of our parts before our parts can be whole in the sense of the entire being. So, bringing you into alignment, into position, is of vital importance. We have noted that the process by which we attain the state of the single eye is involved in this. If mind and heart are just a little out of alignment you will not have a clear focus. A little out of alignment and you can't see with the eye that is more important than your physical eye. And have you any more priceless possessions in the physical sense than the physical eye? They are priceless. All right. That single eye is still more important, but while your eye is double your whole body is full of darkness. Why? Because there is no way for the light to get in, no way for you to see.
So, with mind and heart out of alignment you need to realize that you cannot see. If you do see it will be with a blur and things will not look right. I think you probably heard the story by now (I gave at the previous class) about the time I went up the dark canyon and thought I saw a bear. It turned out to be a stump. Well, if you haven't heard, you probably will. In any case, walking along that path, it looked like a bear and I knew there were bears in the head of that canyon. I had seen them. I had had trouble handling horses up there, and there isn't anything a horse is more deathly afraid of than a bear. And so, down there, it looked like a bear and I had to go on up the canyon to get the cows. It wasn't a bear. I finally experimented, got close enough to satisfy myself of what it really was, and went on. But it looked like a bear and it made me feel like it was a bear. Now, my feeling, my state of inside, was exactly the same as if it had been a bear, even though it was but a stump. Usually like the things that look like bears turn out to be stumps, and yet you feel as if they were the things you think they are, when in actual fact, they are not. I wonder.
So we begin to realize that there must be alignment; there must be alignment of the eye, so that the eye of the heart and the eye of the mind are one and the same. And then it's a comparatively simple process to continue on until your physical seeing, your mental seeing, and your heart seeing are all one. And while this process is going on, there is an inner hearing, not in the sense of hearing physical sound, but an inner perception of hearing which begins to come into alignment so that you can more readily perceive.
So we are going through a process of bringing you together into one thing so that you may be a whole soul, without your parts being scattered about willy-nilly. And, in this you are learning how to let your mind come under control. As I started to point out a little while ago, if I were to stand here and undertake to give radiation without any sound, any action, it's questionable as to how many of you would actually perceive it, or if you perceived it, how well you would receive it, how well you would let yourself come to point, how soon your minds would waver and go flitting where minds flit to.
So we must use some kind of a device to establish vibratory focalization. The device I use is primarily with respect to the sound of my voice, when I'm talking to you. Sometimes, I use a gesture or two, something to add to the perception through the eye, but at this moment we have to depend primarily upon hearing. Once you begin to let yourself come to point and learn to relax at point, you are in a process of coming into attunement within yourself, that is, coming together. Gradually your heart is drawn into position, gradually your mind is caused to be still, to relax into its proper position, in you, so that you begin to be a being. And then, you begin to be more effective. Then the healing power, the working power of God, can begin to manifest through you. But if your parts are not in alignment you are not a channel in a real sense. If your parts are not in alignment you are not in a real sense a channel.
And so we get back to this point of expression On Tone. Do not try to understand with the mind. If understanding is to come it must not be by intellectual means in this; it must be by means of the heart—being and relaxing into it. I don't think there is any reason for anyone to fear it, hesitate, just to relax into it. And if it be unfamiliar in some of its factors don't try to figure it out—what difference does it make? We can begin to establish a vibratory current through which your own instrument of being can be more readily brought into alignment and into attunement; and you will have emphasized for you, at the same time, the vital importance of the vowels from the standpoint of that which you would convey.
It might be that you could enjoy it more fully if you would close your eyes. If not, you may watch but whichever is most natural to you. [Uranda chants in an adaptation of the Motherland Tongue, and then chants words in English.]
There is a Land of the Living, a land, a Land of the Living
O come, O come and dwell
O come and dwell, in the Land of the Living
O come and serve, O come and serve, the God of the Living
The God of the Living
There is a Land of Light, there is a Land of Light
O come and dwell in the Land of the Light
O come ... O come ... O come
And as you begin to feel something of that which can be conveyed through radiation On Tone, you can begin to recognize the healing qualities. It is not something that we can use regularly—in fact, as a Class, this is the first time you have heard me touch upon this point. But I wish for you to begin to understand why the vowels are so important in relationship to the reality of radiation, and how you can begin—as you learn how to express in the current of the Spirit—begin to let the tensions relax, begin to establish a sense of being enfolded in the Cloud of Peace, begin to establish a realization that you are not separate and apart—that is, establish that realization in each hearer—and you begin to know that there is a power which is well able to produce the adjustments in your body, in your mind and heart, which may be necessary to the achievement of your Divine Purpose on earth.
We begin to realize that only as we let ourselves come into agreement, the different parts of you into agreement in relationship to your own Being, you in agreement with your higher point of Focalization, so that you can inspire someone else to come into agreement with you, only so do you begin to be an integral part of the Whole, a cell in the manifest Body of God where you become a living soul and not, as so many in the world are, a dying soul—and you become a living soul. And through you, the reality of life is extended to others so that the promise of life upon your lips is not a vain thing, so that the power of God flowing through you can achieve that which is necessary from the pattern of your service, if there is the response thereto. But response to God and the things of God makes possible the manifestation. Without response the things of God cannot appear; through response they do appear. Shall we share the Victory and truly serve our LORD and KING? That is our purpose here. Class dismissed.
