Transcendent Significance of the Mailings

Transcendent  Significance  of  the  Mailings

Martin Exeter   August 26, 1986

 

Central  Council  Sessions

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

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

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

The Shekinah Pattern Of The Cosmos Is Here

The  Shekinah  Pattern  Of  The  Cosmos  Is  Here

from  Shekinah  Patterns

Uranda   June 30, 1953

We thank God for the privilege we have of unfolding in the patterns of Being, that we may begin to know the reality of the Presence of the One Who Dwells—the Presence of the One Who Dwells. We have been considering the principles of magic, heavenly magic, the magic of living, and particularly the principles involved in the Shekinah Fire, the Shekinah Light That Glows, and the Shekinah Cloud of Glory. Yielding to the reality of the Presence of the One Who Dwells—Once you begin to let the true current of the spirit of God work through you, you will not need to take thought what you will say but you will be functioning in the Shekinah Pattern of Being, as the Master did when He said, "The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."

The Shekinah, whether it be the evidence of the Presence of the highest focalization of Deity, or the evidence of the Presence of any God Being in the pattern of the Body of God, carries the same nature, the same basic principles. There are specific characteristics. But did you know that the Shekinah of the Central God of Gods, the absolute focalization of Deity in the Central Sun of Suns, in relationship to the entire Cosmos, has a particularized Shekinah Pattern of Being, and that that Shekinah Pattern is here. It is everywhere in the entire Cosmos, without a single exception. There is no point in the entire Cosmos where His Shekinah Pattern of Being is not. But do you have the ability to directly, in a personal sense, contact that Shekinah Pattern? You do not. You do not. It is only as we have the functions of the God Beings in the Body of God—as there are functions of cells in your physical body to make up your whole body—that we can have the transformer pattern by which this high voltage, high vibration, Shekinah Pattern of Being can be related to you.

Here you begin to see, at least have a glimpse of the basic processes by which specific patterns of creation are brought forth. Why does the seed of grass bring forth after its kind and produce grass? Why does every seed bring forth after its kind? Why is it that we can plant grains of wheat and know that we will not have sunflowers coming from that seed? How is it that we can plant sunflower seed and not be afraid that we are going to have corn popping up where we expected the sunflowers to be? What is it that establishes the particularized characteristics of any created thing? We see these characteristics in the world around us.

To the human being himself, his true characteristics in the individual sense are obscured. The pressures of circumstance, his own ideas and concepts, have produced the appearance of something in relationship to himself which he imagines to be himself, so he has developed a false pattern of human personality that is a caricature of himself. It is not the true expression of his Being. You are gradually going through the process of letting the caricature pass away so that you can begin to be what God designed you to be—your Real Self in expression, in nature, in function.

So, step-by-step, according to the patterns of focalization, the creative triangles, the creative cycles, extending out to every part and place in the Cosmos, we have the modifications and particularizations which establish the unlimited aspects of Being—and these aspects have not by any means been thoroughly explored. What has been created is not all that shall be created. God is a Creator, and He never violates His own nature by ceasing the work of creation. Man fell and interfered with specific processes of creation so God had to establish a pattern—a temporary pattern—in order to bring man back, to repair the machinery. Meanwhile, the creative processes for which man was supposed to be responsible in relationship to God must wait. They haven’t been carried on.

The real purpose for which we are here on earth is not now evident and cannot be. We must function on the basis of our temporary purpose, the purpose of restoring man to his Divine Estate, restoring the manifestation of the Garden of God on the face of the earth. Once that is done we can begin to take part in the creative work of God which is now beyond your comprehension. But, in order to achieve this, we remember the words in the first Chapter of the Gospel of John, in relationship to Shekinah: All things—All covers everything—All things were made by Shekinah, and without Shekinah was not anything made that was made. If we remember that we will understand why it is written that man, of and by himself, can do nothing, and he is nothing, We will not be trying to do something without Shekinah, for all things were made by Shekinah, and without Shekinah was not anything made that was made.

So these creative processes continue on, in all spheres except those where man has interfered; but there has been a lull, shall we say, or a limited pattern of function in the whole Cosmos—it not something that just relates here to the earth as such. By eliminating the earth—and the people on it—from the Cosmic Pattern, annihilating it, God could conceivably have gone on, carried forward the Cosmic Pattern without any limitation, but that’s not the nature of the Creator. He undertook, and is working out, the process of saving man from himself, restoring him; and that is our work—first to let ourselves be restored so that we may function effectively in helping restore others; and then when the pattern of restoration is complete we can get back to work—the heavenly purpose for which we are on earth.

Meanwhile there are limitations in the pattern of function in the entire Cosmos. We need to realize that when we speak of the Cosmos we mean absolutely everything there is, all of the universes, all of the solar systems, all of the stars or suns, all of the vast expanse of the Milky Way. You know, we are a part of the Milky Way! When you see that vast expanse of the Milky Way—you’ve never seen it as you can see it with the naked eye; how it has that broad sweep across the sky—and we here, on this planet, in this Solar System, we are a part of what we call the Milky Way. We are neighbours. There are many nebulae, many varying patterns in that vast expanse; but in any case, we’re a part of that, and that is a part of what we are. And that is a part of the Cosmos. Man cannot see—even with the new telescope on Mount Palomar—he cannot see the Central Sun of Suns, the Center of the Cosmos. Man has never discovered it; he can’t very well. But, we are a part of the Cosmos.

It does not stop you if you have a little sore, say on your little finger; you go on, but to some extent it limits the pattern of your whole function—to some extent. And until that sore on the little finger gets well you cannot say that your whole body is well. The fallen state of man here on this planet is as a sore on the little finger of the Body of God, and it establishes certain limitations with respect to the whole pattern of function in the entire Cosmos. That which we do here has its meaning in that vast expanse of the Milky Way; it has its meaning in all the other planets of our Solar System; it has its meaning in relationship to the center of our Solar System, or the Sun.

We look at the Solar System and we see the Shekinah Pattern of Being. All the way through it is present—the evidence of the Presence of the One Who Dwells—and all the various combinations of focalization, of pattern, by which these things have been produced and brought forth to this present point. But we need to be sharing in the creative activity of the Cosmos. We’re not just going to be saved and go to heaven somewhere or other, to twiddle our thumbs, and pluck on a harp and float on a cloud. We have a part to play in the creative work of God that extends through all eternity. Because God finished the work at a certain point in relationship to something He was doing, human beings have imagined, strangely enough, that God just quit creating, that He is all through—that’s all! That is not the case at all. He finished certain things. He finished certain steps, and He was ready for man to share in further creative work.

The pattern of these creative cycles in relationship to the Shekinah, and the One Who Dwells, is revealed in our days of the week, the colors of the rainbow, the notes of the octave. In many places, wherever we turn, we see these things revealed. We see them manifest in the Solar System—the Shekinah Fire in what we call our Sun. Man says it’s a flaming fire, burning gases. Well, I am not going to deny that. I suppose there are some gases burning. It's still made in the image and likeness of Shekinah—the Fire in the middle; the Light That Glows all around it; and the Cloud of Glory, or the body of the planets. The Fire, the Light That Glows, and the Body of the Shekinah, the Cloud of Glory—and you see the Solar System. And that Shekinah Pattern extends from the atom to the Solar System and beyond.

The Shekinah Pattern of the Cosmos is present here, is present everywhere—the Shekinah currents, vibratory factors—but they are of a level which you cannot, in a direct sense, perceive or contact. They must be brought down in the patterns of, well, the transformers, into a range where they can begin to have meaning to us; and as those vibratory factors are stepped down in their patterns of application they are brought into specific forms by reason of particularized focalizations in the Body of Being. But every step of the way, in every thing, every form there is, anywhere in the Cosmos, it was brought forth by Shekinah—absolute, everywhere.

And, as you begin to understand the principles involved in your function in Shekinah, you are not going to be trying to do something without Shekinah. You understand the laws, gradually learn to harmonize with them, function in relationship to them, to partake of God’s creative power, and to let it manifest on the design, the pattern, the Truth as God established it for your particular part of the Cosmic Plan. And if you try to create or use the forces of Shekinah to bring forth something contrary to that design you defeat yourself, destroy yourself. Man has been doing it for centuries, for millennia. And until you begin to reach a point where you cease trying to do the impossible, cease trying to make something that does not conform to the Divine design, cease trying to do something that is not subject to the Divine control, cease trying to bring forth something that is not being produced by Shekinah in harmony with God’s will—until you have reached that point you will be defeating yourself. When you reach it you will begin to be what God intended you to be.

Shekinah

Uranda   June 1953

We wish to emphasize the fact that the body, of the man or the woman, or of the child, is supposed to be an ark of the covenant, an ark of the testament, a manifestation of the temple of the living God, a specific place that is supposed to be holy and sacred, within which no ill vibrational pattern may be found; for wherever there are stress patterns in the vibrational factor, at any level, the evidence of the presence of the One Who Dwells is withdrawn, and only when the patterns of accord and true peace are again made evident can there begin to be the restoration of the manifestation of the evidence of the presence of the One Who Dwells. This manifestation is something which must be allowed to grow. It is something which appears in a creative field and does not manifest in its fulness in the instant. When it begins to appear, when the glowing light is first seen, we have evidence that the presence has been there for a considerable period, that the creative field has been maintained, that there have been no adverse vibrational factors, no discords, no resentments, no critical attitudes, no conflicts, no fear; for where these things rule we never see the beautiful glowing Light or the Cloud of Glory revealing the evidence of the presence of the One Who Dwells.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *

We have recognized that conflict patterns, resentments, maintained in any individual exclude that individual from the Shekinah pattern of being, no matter how well justified the resentment may seem to be.  The fact of resentment, the fact of conflict attitudes, precludes the experience of coming to know the trinity of the Shekinah, the manifest evidence of the presence of the One Who Dwells.
