It is evening to you who are gathered at Mickleton in England, while for us here it is morning in the Chapel at 100 Mile House. The evening and the morning may remind us of the creative process. This creative process is now in effect and indeed always has been. It has emphasized itself in our consciousness to the extent that we have been willing to align ourselves with it. So we do have an awareness of the reality and the effectiveness of this creative process. For most, the fact of it has been almost entirely excluded from consciousness. Human beings in general have been so busy about their own affairs that they have had no time to entertain even the possibility of a larger creative process.
Of course, there has been some awareness that there must be something of this sort, because the earth itself, our habitation, moves in predictable ways: turning on its axis and moving around the sun in its orbit. The seasons of the year come and go. It appears that weather is affected by extraterrestrial influences, principally from the sun, as indeed human behavior may be. A certain amount of thought has been given to the sundry cycles in human affairs, such as the variations in the stock market, for instance, seeking somehow to correlate them with influences emanating out of the solar system, without too much success I may say. But there is in the background of human consciousness some sort of recognition that there are things on the move beyond the daily experience of human beings following out their sundry affairs; however, human affairs take precedence over all. We certainly would not seek to make any such correlations, because we are well aware that human affairs are not a reflection of this creative process; they, rather, evidence the failure of human beings to be aligned with the creative process. So there are troubles and tribulation.
We have concerned ourselves with coming into an alignment with the creative process, that we might be of some use on the surface of the earth in extending what would probably be looked upon as some sort of influence into the consciousness of mankind in general. There has been very little awareness on our own part of the vastness of the power that is available to be embodied when there is true alignment with the creative process. We know that something works, something does come together, there is creative movement. We begin to be aware of what it is that is happening in the experience of mankind. This awareness is present to the extent that we are aligned with the creative process. The awareness has been absent for most because of lack of such alignment.
There has indeed been a condition of formlessness in human consciousness insofar as the truth was concerned, together with a chaotic void also. Utilizing these words to describe the condition, we are immediately aware that it relates to possibilities in the creative process; for when the spirit of God, the creative power, moves upon the face of this condition, the result of that movement is the appearance of light. I am sure that we ourselves can testify to this fact. There is a certain level of what might be called enlightenment present, enabling a different view to come within the range of our awareness. On this basis we are no longer so thoroughly trapped in the arbitrary restrictions of the state of human nature consciousness. There is some light at least. And because there is some light there has been the creation, to whatever extent in our own experience, of a firmament which divides the waters which are above from the waters which are below. This firmament was referred to as heaven, and it is the proper dwelling place of man. Man belongs in this firmament, which, although it was described as dividing the waters from the waters, obviously also connects the waters to the waters.
Water is a very apt symbol of the substance which accommodates the spirit of Father God and Mother God: the waters that were above presumably relating to Father God, and the waters below to Mother God, with the heaven, where man properly is, in between to provide the means for the blending of these two aspects of spirit. This is something that occurs in man. The human view of things has produced a God, in the consciousness of many people, who is separate from human beings, more or less aloof somewhere. This of course is fantasy. Indeed all of human experience is present in this realm of fantasy. We have seen this realm as being characterized by the sense of separateness. There is separateness between people, between groups of people. Separateness is the basis for human function on earth, which minimally takes into account any larger cycles that may be at work in favor of concentrating entirely on human affairs. This state of separateness prevails, and it is also a state of darkness.
In the light there is oneness, and when light begins to be the experience in consciousness the fact of oneness emerges into experience. There may be many theories about this state of oneness in human minds and hearts in the present state of human nature, but theories are of little consequence. It is the fact that needs to be experienced. We have consciously offered ourselves to that experience, while at the same time hopefully maintaining the theory. The theory tends to dominate, rather than the experience. But at least in theory we know that the experience is important. If one could permit the theory to recede into the background of consciousness, then to that extent there may be room in consciousness and in experience in living to accommodate the truth.
The creative process is part of the truth. The spirit of the Father and the Mother seen in relationship to God is a part of the truth, but it doesn't mean much until it is experienced, and it cannot be experienced until there is the firmament, until there is a heaven. And that alone is not of much consequence until there is someone in it, until there is the experience of the heaven. Then there is a place in which the spirit of Father God and Mother God may blend in man, so that oneness is the experience—because the fact of the matter is that there is no aloof God sitting out there somewhere, as some human beings have imagined. And because this turned out to be seemingly a fantasy, a lot of people of course have rejected it. I don't know whether we should object at all to the rejection of a fantasy, or that we should feel badly about the acceptance of a fantasy. It's just what has happened, that's all. And people, including ourselves, have behaved the way we have on the basis mostly of living in a very fantastic world. I think most people looking at the world, observing it round about, are inclined to shake their heads a bit and say it's seemingly rather insane, it's a fantasy. But everybody goes on living there and behaving in fantastic ways, so the fantasy keeps increasing in scope.
But there is a creative process, and for whatever reason—we do not need to try to figure it out; the human mind couldn't anyway—there has been an intensification of the spirit moving in the creative process and it's affecting everybody. It has produced an increase of fantasy, but it has also begun to emerge in some—and I trust that we might be included in that number—as a consciousness of the creative process, because there is somewhat of an alignment with it, so that our living is not merely a reaction to external affairs, external events and circumstances, which is the usual condition of human nature. But there is something of a yielding—we might call it repentance—in the heart and a willingness of the mind to agree, so that there could be space for the experience of heaven. We wouldn't even consider it, it wouldn't even enter consciousness at all, if it was not for the fact that there was a little light.
Light is always the first order of business in any particular cycle of the creative process. As long as it is allowed to work the way it works everything emerges as it should. It doesn't matter that there is darkness, chaos, provided that there is space to permit the movement of the spirit of God, which is internal—it's not somewhere else—upon the face of this present state of affairs. Then there begins to come light. It is your experience of the movement of this spirit, a focused movement of this spirit on the face of the substance of chaos in you, that has permitted the dawning of light, so that something might be seen that wasn't seen before. And this first seeing relates to heaven.
We begin to understand the pollution that has been present in the heaven. Obviously it's reflected in external form in the atmosphere around us. We exist these days in a very polluted atmosphere. Why do you think that is? Oh, it can be explained very neatly by saying it's all the emanations out of the automobiles and acid rain and all this sort of stuff, all consequent upon the behavior of human beings. But why have human beings behaved the way they have? We can trace it back a little further, and of course their behavior is based in the maintenance of separateness. One might say that most people don't know how to let it not be the case, because everybody feels isolated from everybody else. They get together in packs, in cities for instance, trying to nudge up against each other to make themselves feel as though they were not so separate as they know they are. But it doesn't work; there is more aloneness in cities than anywhere else.
The pollution in the heaven must be allowed to be dissipated. I am not speaking at the moment of the atmosphere of the earth. Human beings are trying to do something about that, not very successfully. Of course not, because the first order of business is to clean up the atmosphere inside the person, in the heaven there. And that comes, of course, by the continuing movement of the spirit of God. It was the spirit of God, after all, which initiated the cycle in the appearance of light, so that one could begin to see something. Now we begin to see that the heaven is absolutely essential. And it's a personal matter. It's a personal matter in the initial stages, as we well know, so that there might be a true heaven, clear, clear as crystal in one's own experience, in one's own heart and mind.
For this to happen, to get it in shape so to speak—which would be the usual human approach—then presumably there would need to be walls and battlements erected, defenses against all the pollution that is coming in. Well, I suppose in a sense this has been what has been attempted. Even from the standpoint of our Emissary approach it has been translated in consciousness all too often as the necessity of vigilantly opposing the various…what?—evil spirits that might come in to pollute the heaven, things like resentment for instance, judgment (of course there couldn't be any resentment if there wasn't judgment), fear, jealousy, all these things. “Oh, we have to fend off all these evil spirits.” That is a most futile undertaking. It's like the so-called defenses that the nations erect around themselves to fend off these hostile incursions by evil embodied in other people. Well, if it's embodied in other people, it must be embodied in oneself too! So here is evil defending itself against evil.
This has nothing to do with the creative process. It's a human invention, which has produced all the ills that there are in the world. But now we are not so much concerned with vigilantly opposing those opportunities to become subject to fear and resentment and judgment and accusation and criticism and all these things. Heaven doesn't exist on that basis. Heaven is a reality already. An unpolluted heaven is a reality already. But it isn't a reality in our own experience, that's the point. We can accept the reality without opposing anything. The reality is available.
We have learned something about maintaining a heaven. The heaven is maintained because our thoughts, our feelings, our actions, are stimulated, produced, from the impact of the spirit of truth, not from the environment. There is a vast distinction here, because we have all known what it means to be subject to the environment, and I am sure we still are, in the sense that it stimulates what we think and the way we act, the way we behave. It certainly engenders a lot of emotion—all this as long as that is the state of polarity in which we find ourselves. We could call it ex-polarity: polarity in the things around us, the things, incidentally, over which we rightly have dominion. Of course this has been the effort of human beings: to get dominion. They never have. As long as that is the polarity, then there is nothing but trouble. That has proven itself out. But the polarity becomes in-polarity when the stimulation—and actually the base, the foundation—for any thinking we do, any emotions we have, any action that puts in an appearance, springs out of the spirit of truth. That is in-polarity, and there is a vast difference in behavior then.
For that to occur there must be the heaven in which to dwell, an unpolluted heaven. And we have learned something about that because, to the extent that we have been willing to accept this type of internal stimulation for our living, we have found the pollution clearing. We have found that it clears not only for oneself as an individual but the same thing is happening with respect to others. We begin to find ourselves associating in a clarifying heaven. Today we have this grouping of people here gathered and another one in England, you folk over there and we folk over here. The distance doesn't matter because we find ourselves, to whatever degree, in a mutual heaven. It's the same there as it is here. What does that testify to? At least some measure of oneness.
Oneness cannot appear on earth until it first is known in heaven. The fact of the matter is, as we well know, that nothing appears on earth until first it is present in whatever the heaven may be in which the individual is living—or existing, as a rule—usually a very polluted heaven. And there is a very polluted earth. Of course! It's the way it works. To try to clear up the pollution of the earth without letting anything be done about the pollution of the heaven is utter futility, a waste of time. Nothing ever happens on that basis, no matter how many rules and regulations are made. Human beings live in a polluted heaven and they spew that polluted heaven into the earth. They can't help but do that as long as they live in a polluted heaven.
So we are willing, I trust, to allow this pollution to be clarified in our own individual heavens. When we do that we find that others are doing it and we begin to have a collective less-polluted heaven. It is out of this heaven that the fact of the union, the oneness, of Father God and Mother God may come into experience. Nobody knows what that means, because they haven't let it happen. The only way to know anything is to let it happen in one's own experience. One may have intellectual ideas about this, concepts about that, beliefs about the other thing, but it's all fantasy, it's all theory. And human beings live in this state of fantastic theory, knowing nothing. The fact that they know nothing is constantly being demonstrated by the insistence upon searching to find the answer. They don't know the answer, of course partly because there isn't any insofar as the state in which human beings exist is concerned, because it's fantasy. What answer is there for fantasy?
I suppose we have all dreamt dreams in which we have endeavored to act in a rational manner, but we have found it was very difficult because everything was so fantastic. There is no solution there. One may spend what seems like a whole night—it probably isn't—endeavoring to solve the problems of the dream, ultimately failing to solve the problems. But wonder of wonders, there weren't any problems anymore when you woke up! This is exactly the same thing insofar as the state of mankind is concerned. Wake up! Let the light come on.
People are inclined to wake up when the light begins to shine. There are those who don't like the light, of course; some creatures of darkness burrow further into their self-centeredness, their darkened state, when the light comes on. But there are others who notice it. Very often, to start with, they don't believe it: “No, it isn't really there.” And there are so many things in the dream state that come up to convince you it isn't really there. The dreaming has become so customary, it has become an addictive habit, that people don't want to let go of it, because there is always success—whatever success is—just around the corner. Did you ever have a very successful dream? I don't know what success would be. I think success is just to wake up, and that is the success. Wake up! Become aware of the light. And because there is an awareness of the light, a certain enlightenment in one's own consciousness, the necessity for the heaven comes into view.
There must be a heaven, an unpolluted heaven, unpolluted by all the things that govern human nature. Judgment is the main thing—accusation, blame, criticism, all these things, because they are so easily justified: obviously one has to accuse someone of doing something because they did it! Well perhaps that's supposed to be logic, but if it kills you it might be better not to do it. And that is the fact of the matter; it has been regularly killing people every generation for thousands of years, millennia. And everybody still goes on doing it because they can justify it. So one of the pollutions in the heaven has been this matter of self-justification. Let it dissolve in the light, in the light because you see how stupid it is. Finally you wouldn't do it for anything. You know it's destroying you. There is no sense to being destroyed, not if we are present on earth for a reason. Of course heretofore nobody has known what the reason was, so they have invented their own. And we have all done that.
But now in the light we begin to become aware of the reason why we are here: to provide this blending point for Father and Mother God in our own experience, that the truth may be known. Merely to say “the blending point for Father and Mother God” doesn't mean very much. One has to have the experience of it to know what it is. That is the experience of the truth. And the truth frees the individual into being man, male or female, not separate from anything. If you are not separate from anything, why do you need names to indicate it? We necessarily talk about God perhaps now because separation is still a fact; but if there is oneness, that is the experience. There is nothing to compare it to then, except of course this miserable state in which we have been existing. Then we wouldn't wish to have anything more to do with that, except insofar as we may be in position to provide what is necessary to transform it, to let those who are present in that state have the opportunity of rising up into an unpolluted heaven. They could either choose to do that or not; that's up to anyone.
But for ourselves, surely, it is our business to do it. If that is what is done, one can speak from the standpoint of heavenly authority. And the power was said to be almighty, wasn't it?—almighty but not available for human use to promote their affairs. It takes a lot of sweat of the brow to continue in that mode. The earth, amongst other things, has to be raped to keep human beings going in their miserable human nature condition. The atmosphere consequently is polluted, and all the tribulations of the flesh are present, all because of this failure to allow the light to be received and to be the basis for one's living experience.
We have all had immense opportunity to see and to understand; and we have, at times, felt rather self-satisfied because we thought we saw and understood so much. But it means absolutely nothing until it is the experience. People talk a lot about that, but what is our experience? What is our experience in this moment? Do the things of the human nature state recede in our consciousness so that in this moment they virtually vanish away? What do you do when you go out again? It seems to be a habit to sort of drop them off outside the door as you come in, and then, when you go out, pick them all up again. And one is again in subjection to the devil, as it might be put—that's right, to human nature. That is the devil, intent upon destruction. It's rather stupid, really; it's going to destroy everything, but it can't do that without destroying itself as well.
So we stand together in the creative process, letting it work, letting the light come on, letting the heaven be purified, and abiding in the heaven with a great concern to allow the radiation of heaven to be the expression of our living, so that the heaven is protected that way. It is not protected by building bulwarks against the evil, so called. It is protected by being the radiance, by being the light. The heaven can only exist that way in the consciousness of mankind. You know very well that if you stop your radiant stance for a minute, something comes in and dissipates the heaven. “Oh, I was so peaceful and happy, everything was wonderful, and now it's terrible again.” Well who did it? One did it oneself. But the habit has always been to look around and say, “It was that person who treated me badly so that this heaven couldn't exist anymore; it was because of that person.” If the heaven ceases to exist for anyone it does so because of that one, him- or herself, only. No one else can dissipate it. One always does it for oneself.
So we may abide in heaven, and I rejoice in whatever extent of that purified heaven may have been present today in this configuration of unification, between those here in the Chapel and those there at Mickleton. Of course it's a little more personal even than that, isn't it? It's between you and the person sitting next to you. And it's a little more personal than that again; it's all inside oneself! Let it be clear. Let the heaven be clear because there is a radiant outpouring of spirit. Then the heaven is safe. But any little bit of human nature that gets in there destroys the heaven, just like that. The heaven has never been able to exist in human experience because of the coarseness of human experience. It couldn't accommodate the heaven. The heaven couldn't exist in that state of coarseness. Let it be purified.
So we share the processes of the creative process, which does purify when we let it. We rejoice to have had this collective opportunity of purification today. I would like to give opportunity to Lindsay to say a word to us from Mickleton.
Lindsay Rawlings — I look out, Martin, over a small sea of faces: those of the Mickleton unit and a sprinkling of friends, and a handful of representation from the London Emissary family—the faces of ones who are, to whatever extent, aligned with the creative process and very evidently increasingly aware of their own, our own, individual significance in the huge outworking in which we are all so intimately involved. And each of us is increasingly in position to allow the spirit of Father God and Mother God to blend. I think the evidence of this is that our collective experience—I know it’s true for me individually and I’m absolutely sure it’s true for everyone else that I can see in front of me individually—our experience is one of increasing lightness. We know what you have said is true, we know it in our own experience. And it’s iust such a privilege to be connected so very directly with you in this moment, and with those who are in your immediate realm of vision, waking up and rising up and ever so willing to stand beside you in the way. This comes with all of our love from Mickleton.
Lord Exeter — Thank you, Lindsay. Of course we may see this matter of standing beside each other as still being a state of separateness. There is an experience to be known that has not been included in the lexicon of the human-nature state—oneness. This is not known, of course, without what is defined by the word love. Love is the power of blending, of fusion. Then we do not find that we are all separate from each other and that we have somehow an ego to protect and preserve. This is the basic idea which has produced human nature. The human ego shall pass away! I say that with the greatest of confidence. It has done it in every generation. The human ego needs to pass away. But what shall remain? Thus far, apparently, only a corpse, a disintegrating corpse. What an evidence of abject failure.
The human ego is held to the bosom of one’s experience until the last gasp. Surely it’s better to let it go at this first gasp, so that it may be free to pass away, leaving the facility of heart and mind and body to be occupied in expression by the one who created it in the first place: the truth of oneself. And truth is not separate from truth. We are all included in the whole. We may have different functions, different evidences of character, but none of them contradict each other. They are all blended together in the one whole, just as all the parts of our own physical bodies are properly blended together as a whole. Usually they are not allowed this experience because of our maintenance of the state of separation in consciousness. And then the body falls apart. It should on that basis; it’s simply obeying the command.
Let us be sure that the heaven is pure within ourselves, there is no shadow of turning, certainly no self-justification or judgment to pollute the atmosphere. Let the atmosphere be clear, and the creative process which originates in what has been spoken of as Father God and Mother God may emerge to be known in our own experience, be known to be what we ourselves are. It may be interesting to talk about it, think about it, but it’s wonderfully fulfilling surely to let it happen. Then we really know what it is. Otherwise all we do is theorize, and we die in our theories. Let us live in the truth.

Laura Fisher — “There is no other real fulfilment possible.” Thank you so much, Pamela. Here we are together—together with our King, with Martin’s words amongst us, and a mighty challenge. Do we have the courage, the courage that is required to let our thinking be completely different, to be divinely inspired? To have a complete absence of opinion? That would be a new world. A complete absence of opinion! Do we have the courage not to use all our book learning when we are looking at something?
This morning, to honor all of you, to honor the service, I decided to try out this radiant seeing, this radiant perception, and I went out into my beautiful garden and I radiantly viewed the ground cover there. It was really quite amazing how the lime green of the Creeping Jenny just leapt out at me. I’ve never seen a lime green like that and it’s been there all along. And the purple flowers were so purple, the living essence of those plants were singing with my radiant view of them. We’re supposed to be the crowning creation. This is part of what that means: we radiate outward with our eyes because our mind is still, our mind is settled in the court of the King. We rest in complete assurance that that is so.
I have a brilliant friend. She is an Ayurvedic practitioner. Her name is Erica. She’s studying for her doctorate in ayurvedic medicine. This takes some mind attention. It’s a very complex system. And she asked me what I was doing and I told her I was giving service on Sunday and I told her what the process was: we would read fromMartin’s words and then we would speak. And she said, “Aren’t you lucky to have such a starting point!” And it actually made me cry in her presence. AREN’T we lucky to have such a starting point?! Most of the thinking is done for us! This ability to let the mind rest in the comfort of the kingdom of our King brings forth—you could call it “new thought,” but it’s actually thought that hasn’t been on this earth for a very long time and it’s thought that the earth is just literally screaming for in these days! I can hear the screams. “Please somebody do something different.” And here we are. We have been bathed in something different seven times seven.
I did a little math. Do you know it has been almost 90 years since Uranda first spoke words of truth and wisdom, almost 89 years. And just look what’s been gathered together: the purity of the people that’s been gathered together. We’re all leaders and we know we’re leaders. Remember that ad: “Leaders Wanted! Men and women of the highest integrity.” So here we are, us leaders. And we’re responsible to create an atmosphere that liberates other people. We’re not responsible to tell them who they are or what they’re doing wrong, etc., etc. I think that could be classified as opinion. We’re responsible to liberate them, from their own thinking processes. We bring forth the elegance of God’s design.
There’s another famous quote, by Lao Tze Tzu: “Leadership is best when the people say ‘we did this ourselves’.”And that is our job, to let the mind reorganize itself, clean itself up, let the opinions go elsewhere, wherever bad opinions go, or good opinions, and bring forth the inspiration to let others inspire themselves, and so they inspire their world. That’s our job and none of us can say we haven’t been trained for that. It’s such a pleasure to be with you this morning. It’s a pleasure to gaze upon you and to speak with you. Thank you.
Pamela Gray — Thank you, Laura. It’s indeed a pleasure to speak as one, to speak these words as one. We have a shared spiritual history together, all of us that I can see on this screen. And we’ve seen many cycles that have been broken, looking at the past, the past spiritual history. And I was thinking of the saddest words in the Bible, during the crucifixion, not because of that aspect of the crucifixion but because of what wasn’t seen by people. Just two words: “He wept.” He wept. And in these words we just shared, coming at the end of Martin’s ministry, some other sad words, three words: “It was spoiled.” Both of those statements have to do with the carrying through of the Word.
Obviously not all was lost, not all was spoiled. There is a remnant of the spiritual body, the Lord’s body on earth, that remains vibrant and open to the spirit of the King. And that’s why we gather—that’s why we gather, to articulate this, all together as a collective, and it is the collective carrying through that lands in our lap. And no matter who articulates it, words of truth, in times like this, it is that collective, it is because there is evidence of the presence of the King on earth through people. We read these words as words spoken, words of truth, of love, of life, because the one who spoke them lived with the presence of the King, within. That’s the invitation, that is the gift, the gift to be received. I was thinking how appropriate that word is, “received.”
We receive gifts into our home. John and I recently have had various ones come and be with us, of like mind and like spirit and sharing in the reality of true friendship, speaking these things. Well, a guest in your home comes and goes, but the receiving is the receiving of the King into my house of Being, so that this is His Temple, this is where He lives, this is where He speaks through me this morning. And His eyes look upon the world. We see many things but it’s that radiant vision—we see radiantly. We see good and bad, and horrific, and such unnecessary destruction on earth because there wasn’t a receiving of the gift.
“Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold the reward of the wicked,” it is said. I looked that up, because there’s more to that: “Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy my habitation.” (Psalm 91: 8-9) Making the Lord my habitation. He lives and breathes and is in my Temple, in my house of Being.
In the course of the last couple of years I’ve seen some people—close-in people, it might be put—who went into a dark place. And there wasn’t anything I could do to pull them out of that, no matter how inspirationally I spoke to them, or the attunements I could give. It’s the person who has to bring themselves back. And I’ve seen that with some close people; I’m thinking of certain ones, maybe you have seen that too, andyou say “They’re back” or “He’s back”; “She’s back.” And there’s rejoicing. There’s not any opinion about what went wrong, what went before, but there’s a rejoicing of what is now, who’s here now, that’s the rejoicing.
As it was put in this service, there comes a point where there’s a point of no return. I was thinking of that—in the beginning, the Garden and the fall in consciousness, where the consciousness of mankind as a collective consciousness fell because there was the thought of doing one’s own self-centered thinking and getting, without honoring the Lord, and so there was the hiding. But the safe thing that was in place was the flaming sword, and the cherubim, that kept safe the Garden, kept safe the Tree of Life. Well, in this day there is the evidence of the rising in consciousness, and we see it with many other people in the world. There’s this rising of spiritual consciousness because the remnants have been letting the radiation do the work. And that is rising, the spiritual consciousness is rising. So now the experience of being in heaven, the experience of radiant living, is such an emphasis in our lives that there’s no going back to that other state—that we come into the experience of the Garden. It was protected before by the flaming sword, but it is the truth of love, the fire of love, that is our passion and we find ourselves in that state of consciousness, and there’s great rejoicing. There’s great rejoicing in being together and articulating these things.
So we would love to open it up for further radiant conversation.
Suzanne Core — Pamela and Laura, holy, holy, holy; brilliant, brilliant, brilliant light! What radiance we have shared in this hour, and continue to share in this moment, this gift, this present. It dawns on me that I have sometimes thought of the shining of the light as something that was coming at me—which would make it a little difficult to see. I’ve thought of the shining of the light as something diffuse, which happens when you flip on a light switch, or even when the sun rises over the mountain out my back door each morning, and begins to shine the light that makes the shadows and then springs the green into being. What I’m seeing and thinking of in this moment is that the spirit of the King shining radiantly, through the Lucifer that I insist my mind provide, shines out into my world. I then see that world differently, not because there’s light shining into my eyes but because it’s shining out through them. What a simple flip in consciousness of Lucifer. What a precious setting you two have provided for all of us, and the world, this morning. I am so thrilled to have been here, to be here, with each of you all, my dear, dear, dear friends. Thank you.
Shirley Malin — I would offer my thanksgiving too, Laura and Pamela. What a precious hour this has been. And I love the spirit and the passion offered through both of you. I feel the spirit of womanhood reawakening on earth. And this is our time, as Uranda had said—the spirit of the woman must lead the way in coming out of this chaos, this fallen state, since she led the way down. And in this time together I feel such an honoring of the female. Not because of “female lives matter” or “me too” or any self-importance but because of the true love of the King. And that became very evident in both of you, passionately. We as women must prepare the way for man, manhood, to be honored and loved, because here is the power of love seeking to manifest on earth through the male and the responsiveness of the female allows this magnification and the expression of life into the body.
So what a beautiful opportunity for us, all of us together, to really take stock of what has happened over these past 89 years, as you said. Now is the time, and the time is drawing short; and I love the emphasis on the fact of no more judgment, releasing all opinions, because that’s what makes us trip over one another. We have different opinions, so suddenly something comes up that says, “Well, I can’t agree with that!”—when the agreement is not designed to be in that realm, but in the heaven which I am here to bring into the earth. So in tranquility of mind and heart I can receive anybody’s “stuff” and not be disturbed. It’s so beautiful. Thank you so much. I just loved this time together. Womanhood is a joy, not a trial.
Stewart Berger — Laura and Pamela, thank you very much for sharing yourselves with us today. It’s been wonderful to hear your voices, in all senses of the word “voice”—your revelation of the Word in this moment. Laura, I think you mentioned—both of you did but I know Laura you did—you mentioned radiant perception and I did some of that myself last night. And I was observing that what I was perceiving was a scattered vibration coming to me, I believe from ones that I am connected with in the world. And I think it may have something to do with the pandemic. You have some people who are happy that we have reached a certain point where there’s a degree of normalcy but there are other people who I think are still fearful, and I was perceiving an emotion of hopelessness in that respect. And of course we know that the virus has various variants that are still in play. So what I was observing was kind of a mixture of these different vibrations. Uranda used to speak of “patterns”, vibrational patterns. So this perception that we have is very valuable for observing what’s going on in the world, or what may be going on in the world.
So I think we can talk with ones we know about how to deal with these things depending on our position, one way or the other. And of course, in connection with this there are various effects that the pandemic has had economically and socially, and in other ways, so there is a state of flux and uncertainty. But even though we can discuss these issues, we do have the great gift of being open to the Lord, to life, to Source, and receiving the message that comes through, to and through us in every moment—to receive, as it was put, the heavenly essences and to translate that, or manifest them in natural ways—natural to us—so that we can be a blessing to the world, to those we know, and to the Lord. So thank you very much. It’s wonderful to be with you all.
Davina Misroch — Pamela, Laura, thank you. I’ve been very moved by the depth of what you both offered, and the uniqueness of your own individual passion and spirit, which is beautiful, very beautiful, and not the same at all, and yet one thing. “Only with thine eyes shall thou see the reward of the wicked.” Not with thine emotions, not with the entanglements, not with the reactions, not with the response. And Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” But in all things… I forget the exact words. But it takes something to stand in this moment with you radiantly, actually. It is another level for me, which I embrace gladly.
What I want to say is that I have an absolute responsibility. I remember the command which says not to let anything into my holy place that would work an abomination or a lie. Just living that truth alone, moment to moment, is a fulltime job. And of these few words that I’ve been speaking I know the correlations are very particular, very specific, and not only show what needs to be done but how. The invitation is to receive the gift and let this Temple be a place of the King’s habitation, so that He can articulate through this particular instrument, and therefore I am the Guardian of the Temple. I have something to do—as we all do—not to let something into our holy place individually and collectively that works abomination and makes lies. It’s actually quite simple, and it’s all housed in the love for the King, first, last and always. Thank you.
Millie Holliday — I think today we’ve just had the most exquisite example of Lucifer, the bright and morning star, shining through us and amongst us. And how strange that the mind of man thinks of Lucifer as Satan. It just gives such indication of how lost man is. But here we are, the bright and morning stars, looking with radiant eyes at our worlds, holding our worlds in the hands of love. When there is abomination of desolation, we let the spirit of the King pour forth into our worlds—and I agree that there is no greater joy than this, to be together and to represent our King. Laura and Pamela, I have delighted so in your expression. Thank you.
David Barnes — I can feel the intensity of the current of the Spirit moving strongly in my own body Temple—in my heart. Laura and Pamela, you are so beautiful. What a supreme pleasure to just view you on this screen, through these eyes as you read and speak. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before, at least it was certainly very new this morning. Being in the Kingdom of the King, feeling very much present in His Court, invited into His Household on occasion, I’ve seen that there is the presence of One we would call the Queen, always present there as well—not known to any great degree on earth because His Kingdom and His Court, and His Household, and His Family hasn’t been known to be a reality. But living in His Kingdom it becomes known. She becomes known as He becomes known to me, to us.
In the story of the King as it is recorded of His time incarnate as Jesus, there were three Marys present who are referred to, to a great degree, in that story. Mary, His mother gets a lot of attention. Mary Magdalene—a lot of opinions about her are being written in various books these days. And there is another Mary—Mary of Bethany she was named then. Uranda, One who served with the King over the ages, in a very direct sense, has told us about her and her spirit. And so, being in the Kingdom, Her presence and Her Spirit becomes increasingly vivid as well. I feel Her Spirit present here this morning—as is the spirit of the one who was in form as Mary Magdalene, and the spirit of the one who gave birth to the man Jesus, His mother. All these three spirits of Divine Woman are present here this morning, in the Court, in the Household, of the King. And they are One Spirit, one with His Spirit, even as I find that I know Him and know Her because I begin to know my own spirit as one with His.
One Spirit unwrapped—the Gift unwrapped. And even if it’s not unwrapped fully yet, we might say it is wrapped in transparent wrapping so we can look through the wrapping and see the Gift. and experience something of the thrill that yet remains when it is fully unwrapped and is right here—if that happens to be where we are in consciousness now, any one, here or out there. This Gift is for all, not just thirty-six of us here on the line.
As a man, an angel incarnate on earth, I’ve known wickedness in my own soul—so it’s not just the wickedness out there, the reward of the wicked. I’ve experienced the reward of the wicked. It helped wake me up to this extent. It’s a good thing to experience the reward of the wicked. It might encourage the opening of the Gift. Indeed it did and does. But the main thing is this Almighty Spirit and presence, and the reality of what we call the Kingdom, heaven, the heavenly reality that we have an opportunity to live in every day—and the exquisite heaven that you two brought and magnified, which you know so well, a gift in your own life. How precious to experience the Spirit of the Queen, present with the King, and always be attentive to that Great Spirit, that it might be brought to the forefront and made known to men and women on earth; and that there can be freedom and release from the bondage of wickedness, and release into the joy and the wonder and the ever new vision of heaven right here and right now. It’s been so exquisite, being with you and everybody else, letting this new thing appear this morning, in the fire of His love and His great giving. Thank you.
Steve Ventola — David, your words touch our hearts. I don’t know about you but a tear came to my eye when you mentioned Mary of Bethany. You know the depth of what we can share together as one, and we may see reflections of ourselves here on the screen but it’s … being a part of the spirit of God on earth, of the Lord’s radiation. So I give thanks for our time, Pamela and Laura, I give thanks for the time we are all together. I could spend all day long on this call and at the same time we have lives to live. So let’s hold dear, hold fast in these things. Perhaps Laura and Pamela have a few closing words to share.
Laura Fisher — Yes, thank you. I have so appreciated this part of the service. Wonderful to hear you all. I’ve been thinking about protection. The world is in a very tough place and we are at least some of the ones who are going to change that. That’s going to require some protection of us. I have always been very, very thankful for the protection of the men in this ministry, the ones who hold dear and speak highly of the women in this ministry. It has always been my experience to be acknowledged in that way, and have men around who serve and protect. I thank you for that.
I also have been thinking during this time—I love what you said, Davina, about it taking something.You bet your boots it takes something! Even after 89 years it takes something. If we were all doing the very most ultimate job, the world would not be the way it is, the world would be different. So I appreciate the humility that was spoken along, with the protection of a clean consciousness. Because it is our own clean consciousness that keeps us protected. It doesn’t matter what else is around. If we insist on messing around in the trenches we’ll get hurt. So wonderful to hear the bright lights.
In the Book of John, Chapter 1, Verse 14, it says “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,” in truth and in glory. It is the Word made flesh that does the job—my Word made into flesh. It is said that the body is made up of 75% water. That water is made holy by my thinking, when it comes from the King. The flesh is made holy and dwells among that which is not holy. And it’s no problem.It’s easy. I have friends here at Sun Peaks that you don’t say the word God to, or anything related to it, but they say to me when I express my idea of the future—because they’re all talking about the future—“it’s a wonderful time, it’s going to be a whole new life, it’s going to be absolutely wonderful.” And they say “Oh, Laura, I wish we had your confidence.” But of course we are confident, because we know we are the ones doing that job. We are in the end game here, folks. It’s time to hit a home run. And God always wins, so we can rest in that reality and continue in our own great flesh, and radiant thinking.
Pamela Gray — Thank you, Laura. I was thinking of the protection as well. I appreciate that coming right toward the end there, with Steve and David and Davina—the guardian of that protection. We couldn’t speak of these things in a general audience, obviously. They’d be trampled on. They’d be interpreted by the mind and it would be spoiled. But we can, in this safe container of shared substance, of shared spiritual radiance. And I’m just filled with thanksgiving that it is so, there is this container where we can speak of this. The King of Glory can come in, and all of what has been generated in this time together, it ascends before the throne of God. That is the purpose of this container. Bring it all and let it ascend. And carry this with us and know that we will have the spiritual perception, the right timing, to say the right thing, to do the right thing, because we carry the Spirit of the King within us. And it shines forth in our living. So I’m thankful for this outpouring of which we’ve all participated to the glory of our King. Thank you.
Steve Ventola — Thank you Pam. Thank you Laura. Again, let’s enfold what we shared today and let it continue in our hearts.
I would like to draw attention to the supreme gift which all of us have had opportunity to receive. Perhaps it might be said that in many respects it was spoiled. The gift of which I speak is the spirit of our King. This has been offered over many years in many ways. The Word has been spoken, the Tone sounded, the gift made freely available. Each of us here gathered this evening is quite aware of this, I’m sure. What has been done with that gift? To what extent has it been received?
There is the habit at Christmastime for people to give gifts to each other, and usually in these days those gifts are not wrapped in newspaper. There is very fancy paper available, and ribbon and bows available to decorate the wrapping. Most of us I suppose, upon receiving a gift, may admire the wrapping, but we are probably more interested in finding out what the gift is. I think there has been a tendency with respect to this gift of which I have been speaking, the spirit of the King, to leave it a good deal under wraps. We know what the gift is, or at least we think we do. We have the evidence of it—the wrapping, the decorations—but to what extent has that gift been opened up and received for what it really is?
There have been many associated with this Emissary ministry over the years who appreciated the wrapping and the freshness that was maintained in that regard, but we all know that it is the gift itself that is important. But it has little importance unless it is received—the wrappings removed, so to speak—so that it may be present with us and in our immediate experience: the spirit of the King. No doubt we have received something of this into our living—that’s what the gift is for—and have been blessed thereby, which could well be cause for thanksgiving. The total receiving of this gift would engender total thanksgiving. If total thanksgiving is present, then obviously there could be no complaint. As I say, the Word has been spoken, quite consistently I believe. I think it has been spoken just about as much as could be borne, and the Tone sounded so that all might hear.
To know the spirit of the King we all realize that it must be received into expression. Here is the most magnificent gift that could possibly be given to anyone. The spirit of thanksgiving has been increasing in recent months and years, and that increase has come because the gift has been received into the living experience of those who axe thereby caused to be thankful. The suggestion was made that we could well articulate our thankfulness, particularly whenever it seems that we would have something to complain about or to object to. Perhaps this is a small technique that could be used profitably, but the fact of the matter is that when the gift is received and the spirit of the King finds expression in our living, the spirit of thankfulness is known. We don’t have to hype it up; it’s part of the gift.
The gift is for radiant use. It is an outpouring of radiation, and to the extent that we have participated in the expression of the spirit of the King, we know this. It makes possible radiant vision. That’s the way we see things, no longer looking in the mirror. With radiant vision there comes radiant perception through all the facilities that have heretofore been used to examine the reflection in the mirror. Our ability to see, to perceive, is not for the purpose of receiving and being affected by what we see. The eyes are not merely present to acquaint us with what seems to be present in the environment and the circumstance. This is about all that human eyes are used for: “Let’s have a look.” But the eye is a radiant instrument. That is its primary reason for existence, not in order that we might get something out of our apparent environment because we are able to see it, but to permit radiance to shine forth.
The mind, which has been busy doing the interpreting of what comes in through the eye and through the other senses, is, we know, rightly a window of heaven, not a mirror. It is a window through which the light may shine. When this is the case Lucifer is restored to heaven. The light shines forth, and what is seen is seen radiantly. Part of that seeing, we noted this morning, is of the working of the creative process, a radiant vision based in the shining of the light which reveals what it is that is being brought forth in the creative process. We don’t need to see a reflection of something to understand that. The mirror mind is the satanic mind. There is so much reflection present in the mirror that it has blocked the shining of the light. The mirror mind creates separation.
Incidentally the mirror mind has been busy creating a self for itself. We have experience of this. This self is produced by gathering a great deal of material out of the past. We have what is called heredity. All this material is brought along and composes the main part of the mind itself, and out of this comes the sense of self which the mind is busy creating. We all have that sense of human self well established: a mental creation, coming up out of the subconscious mind and added to assiduously by the conscious mind—there are these characters walking around on earth, mind-made characters—and the mind gains thereby a sense of self and of identity.
It’s all artificial
This has been done over many generations and is accepted as being so by each newborn person quite rapidly. This self is a mirror, a mirror self, reflecting all these elements out of the past. Of course this is reinforced by general human agreement when a baby is given a name: “This is now who you are.” As I say, it’s reinforced because the name is registered! and, particularly in these days, sundry other registrations take place as the years go by, so that the person is more and more convinced of this mind-made identity. Everybody accepts it as being so, both for themselves and for each other; there is a general agreement. But because the majority may vote for it doesn’t make it so! This of course is the usual human approach in these days, that what the majority says must be right, majority rule. And politics gets mixed up in all this. There are lots of political identities around, but identities of all kinds, mind-created. This is consequent upon the fact of the mirror mind, which deals in the material that is reflected. That’s the material that is available to build this human identity.
But now we are aware of the window mind. The window mind has no need at all to create an identity, because what shines through the window mind is the identity. It isn’t a mind-made identity. It isn’t even a heaven-made identity. It is the one identity, namely the One I am. This is all a mystery to the mirror mind, but it is clear as day to the window mind. The window mind is Lucifer. The mirror mind is satan. As long as attention is taken up with what is reflected in the mirror, satan prevails and Lucifer is unknown. As the window mind begins to put in an appearance it does so because there is the shining of the light. The shining of the light illuminates the scene, and the scene is not at all as it was deemed to be in the mirror. It is a heavenly scene, it is a radiant scene: and there is no separation in what it is that puts in an appearance. We speak of heaven and earth as though they were two separate things; they are not. They are aspects of one thing; and when there is a window mind and the light is shining through it, one thing is seen, one thing is known. That one thing is the truth.
We come again with Lucifer present because the light shines. That has something to do with an Emissary of Divine Light, I believe— the truth of that. One doesn’t know the truth of it just by mouthing the words, but the truth of that reveals the King. It reveals the King in His kingdom— one thing. The King is not separate from His kingdom. He didn’t go on a journey. He has always been present in His kingdom. We haven’t known that because we haven’t been present in it.
But once again, receiving this gift without trying to manipulate it, but letting the light shine, there is an easy awareness of what it is that the gift really is. Mention was made earlier of a gift which was available at the beginning but which the mind was inclined to think it could work with. It seems to me that Emissaries have had the idea of “working with things,” and that we have minds so that we can think. Think what? Who is going to do the thinking? Is the mind not the window of heaven in the hands of the King, so that the light shining through it enables vision and understanding as to what it is that is happening in the creative process? Once there begins to be that, there is no necessity to try to manipulate something. It’s found to be beautiful, just wonderful.
Well what one has seen at the point of initiation is not all that will be seen as the light shines and the creative process continues. But what puts in an appearance doesn’t put in an appearance because the mind is manipulating anything, but because there begins to be a unification with the spirit of the King. That is what is moving, and it moves us. We don’t take hold of it and try to make it move anything. It moves us. And we find that it is a natural experience; now we know. Now we know what it is that needs to happen, what it is that is actually happening, and we can participate in the process. It unfolds. It is a delicate thing. It requires perception, but the perception is impossible without the shining of the light. The understanding only puts in an appearance because the light shines. And that requires a window mind, a very far cry from the mirror mind.
Utilizing the mirror mind we look into it and we see all sorts of things reflected there, and such things usually claim a person’s attention. But they are just a reflection, in the absence of the window mind. They are evidence of the absence of the window mind. Why pay so much attention to the reflection then? It doesn’t mean a thing; it isn’t really anything; it’s just a reflection. Let the reflection pass away and you have a clear glass through which the light may shine and there may be participation in the creative process because the King is present. He is the One who participates in the creative process; it isn’t the mind. It isn’t that arrogant creature which imagines that its thinking is so important. The mind presently, I suspect, would imagine that it has no purpose at all if it wasn’t thinking the way it is used to thinking. It has a purpose as a clear glass, transparent, doing nothing of itself, a complete absence of opinion. Then the light shines through. Heaven and earth are seen as being one, not two separate entities, just one. I don’t think we have a word for that, unless perhaps we speak of the kingdom of the King, which includes the all-that-is.
The window mind is Lucifer. The Morning Stars sing together—that’s an easy and a natural experience—and the sons of God shout for joy in the radiant outpouring of the spirit of the King. There can be no outpouring without the window. We may speak of these things. This is the wrapping of the gift. Receive the gift, now, and consequently forever.
HolyHolyHoly
Mentally we have all been so brash. The sea of glass, clear as crystal, which was mentioned, is before the throne of God—Lucifer, the transparent mind, through which the King speaks His Word and sounds the Tone of Life. In all we do, sensitive perception is needed to discern what it is that is ready to be born or brought forth. It is said that fools rush in where angels … are cautious, because they wait to see, to discern, what is needful. Always the right atmosphere is required at the point of initiation of anything. Then one may wait and become aware of what it is that is needful. If one doesn’t do this one will surely go off on a tangent, as it was put. The creative process continues to work, and if we are amenable it will bring us back off the tangent eventually. But why waste the time, as though it was necessary to the creative process? It isn’t. The creative process is very forgiving, and if one doesn’t go too far on a tangent it will bring you back. But there is a point of no return. Obviously it’s working through all this stuff on earth to get the job done. So we share the responsibility of doing what we are here to do, so that that job can be done. But it is done by the spirit of the King working in the creative process. It’s not done by the bright ideas of the human mind.
We share such an easy responsibility; it’s not taxing upon anyone. You don’t have to have a great intellect. As long as you have a mind at all, it’s all right! The intellect is arrogant and uses itself for its own ends. The window mind is humble and open to the radiance of the King, which shines forth, creating the atmosphere needful. And as perceptiveness is developed in the light, what needs to happen can happen easily without any necessity to go off on any tangents. One can rationalize that, saying, “Well the creative process is working.” Yes it was; it did its job if it brought you back. But why did you go out there in the first place? As I say, the spirit of the King working in the creative process is very forgiving. It always has been or we wouldn’t be here at all. Let us not trade on that forgiveness, but learn to let the light shine radiantly, consistently, so that what needs to be seen can be seen. And what we see is what is coming forth. We encompass what is coming forth. We don’t try to manipulate it. We don’t try to make it be something other than what it is. There is no need for all this mental thrashing around. There is that which is to be born moment by moment, and we learn to shepherd it into radiant expression; and because the radiance is there we see what's happening. We don’t see what we don’t need to see. We just see what we need to see. I think we can be very thankful for that. There’s no need to be all cluttered up like we were.
We share the outpouring of the radiance of the King, and we love that above all. Again, I speak of these things. We all need to know the truth of them because we receive the gift into ourselves in our own living. There is no other real fulfillment possible.
