Temples of the Living God

Temples  of  the  Living  God

Uranda   September 29, 1946

As we ascend the mountain, the winding road leads upward through the pines, close-dotted with quaking aspens which have changed their dresses of summer green to autumn’s gold. Beholding the lavish Beauty which nature has bestowed on every hand, one thinks of God, and feels that surely, truly, these are the Temples of the Living God. 

Each pine tree, straight and tall, pointing surely toward the Heavens, reaches upward that all who will may know the Joy of the Ascending Spirit that refuses to remain earth-bound: each gentle aspen tree shimmering in the breeze, speaks of the gentleness of God, and surely here, on every hand, one finds the Temples of the Living God. 

In the valleys and on the mountainside, beside the stream or along the rock-strewn trail, each step we take unfolds new Beauty, and tells anew the story of the Temples of the Living God. 

The creatures of the wild, the birds flitting through the trees, the rippling rill from melting snows, the shrubs that grow on the rocky wall, all tell the story of the Temples of the Living God. 

The barren rocky peaks, reaching high above timberline, are mute evidence that there is a Power greater than all the powers of man, and drawing near, one truly feels the spirit of the mountain, and that Spirit tells a story of the Temples of the Living God. 

And so the restless spirit feels the calm, and the flitting mind is stilled; the quietness and peacefulness of majestic mountains begin to fill the heart of man, and there comes a certainty that here are the Temples of the Living God. 

But dusk is falling, and soon the last rays of the sun rest for a lingering caress upon the highest mountain crag, and in the stillness of the evening, in the cool of the day, with all this Beauty shut from view, there lingers still the realization that the Temple of the Living God is near: a loneliness for the God of the Temple begins to fill the heart, soul and mind, and, if, by friendly darkness shut out, memory’s vision of the mountains and of the trees still holds the attention too vividly, the story of the valleys, of the shrubs and the creatures of the wild has not yet been truly heard, even though all these things were speaking of the Temples of the Living God. 

If, in the peace and quietness, welcoming the friendly dusk, the cool of the day finds the Responding One relaxed and still, there comes assurance that the Living God is nearer than the air we breathe, and though the mountains and the trees, the valleys and creatures of the wild are Temples of the Living God, they are truly but the Temples of the Temples of God Most High. 

For untold ages man has wandered to and fro on earth, seeking to find the place where he might know fulfillment’s keenest joys. The miserable tales of history reveal the failures that mar the age-long record, and as the musing spirit rests quiescent in the eventide, he comes to know that God is here below, waiting to enter in and abide in the long-lost Temples of the Living God. 

The fruitless searching and all the vain trying of men who would prove that the body of man is for the pleasure of man, hangs like a shroud upon the soul, until man lifts up his eyes unto the hills from whence cometh his help, and then he begins to know that the body of man was made for the pleasures of the Living God; and responding thus, he finds that all the emptiness which man has known falls away, as a garment put aside, and he steps forth to enter into the Joy of his Lord, that the body of man may be the Body of God, and the Joys of God may fill the body of man, for these are the Temples of the Living God.

All things on earth God created for the pleasure of man, but man He created for His own pleasure. Behold, the majesty of the mountains, the beauty of the valleys, the wonder of the trees, the lakes and streams, and the creatures of the wild. Who has the ability to view that majesty? Who has the qualities that comprehend the beauties of the valley, to see and name the creatures of the wild? That which thus can comprehend is greater than all else that man beholds. Consider the symmetry of form, the blended parts, the qualities of mind and heart, by which the things of God may manifest on earth. Surely this, the crowning creation, was not made for itself, any more than the mountain was made for itself, the tree for itself, or the valley for its own enjoyment alone. And so it is that humankind, awaking from a long, sad dream, begins to know that truly man, as God created him, male and female, is the Temple of the Living God. 

And as nature springs forth to greet man and provide the necessities of his comfort, so should man spring forth to greet the Living God, and provide for the necessities of His comfort here on earth. The long-lost Temples of the Living God have now been found, and being repaired and renewed unto Him, His Glory begins to fill the Temple and shine round about, until the pleasures of the Living God shall be known in all the earth, and the Joy of Being shall vibrate in every living thing. Behold, the Temples of the Living God.

Inner  Reality  of  the  Church

A  Personal  Message

Uranda   June 30, 1945

The Church is the net result of the cumulative processes of creative generation down through the ages as made manifest since the time of the fall of man. Tens and hundreds of thousands of individuals have lived and worked and died that this present manifestation of the Church might exist, but there is a realm of vibrational activity between the manifest formation of the Church and the Inner Reality of that which we call the Kingdom of Heaven. The Positive Inner Reality provides the correct point of polarization for the sum total of the Negative Triune world. Various levels of life as manifest in the Negative Triune world respond to the Eternal Positive of the Inner Reality to various degrees in various ways according to the nature of the manifestation involved as found in the vegetable and animal kingdoms and in the realm of human existence.

The present outer manifestation of the Church provides a nucleus of responding vibrations in the world, and this nucleus is moving toward increasing degrees of coordination with the Inner Reality and an ultimate fusion therewith. However, the sphere of vibratory activity in the realms between the actuality of the outer manifestation of the Church and the Inner Reality provides the field of activity in which I am and shall be engaged during the period of this particular cycle: therefore, to illustrate the point more clearly, it might be said that while the Spirit of my Ministry and function fills and pervades the Church, I am, in a sense, separate from the Church.

This intermediate realm between the outer manifestation of the Church as it now is in actuality and the Inner Reality of ultimate perfection is that which is spoken of in the Bible as the heavens, or heaven, which shall be made new according to the promise at the time of the renewal of the earth. In this sense, then, the Church as a whole is working on the vibrations which are designed to bring about the renewal of the earth, and the activity of which I speak is designed to bring about the renewal of the heavens. Let no one assume that this has any reference whatsoever to the starry heavens of the universe with which astronomers deal, and neither does it have any reference to what we speak of as Heaven in the sense of the Inner Reality which is the Kingdom of God and the habitation of God-Beings. It is obvious that Heaven, the Kingdom of God, needs no renewal of any kind and if there be any need for renewal in the realm of the astronomical heavens, such things are most certainly beyond the realm of mere human beings.

I am concerned with that intermediate realm of vibratory activity through which the manifest form of the Church and of all responding formations and manifestations of the whole world must pass in order to reach a point where fusion with and in the Inner Reality becomes possible. It is not anticipated that you will fully understand the nature of this realm or the activities that are involved in this undertaking, but what has been above stated should give you some idea as to what I mean and it should be obvious that activity in this intermediate realm could not be undertaken on any suitable scale until the outer manifestation of the form of the Church had reached a point where it could function as a unified body without requiring my full and constant attention. That point has now been reached.

While there are many points of unconscious response in the world which coordinate in the activities of the intermediate realm, the only point to which I can look for consistent response and coordination is the manifestation of the Church and the individuals in it. Therefore, the Church forms the one gateway for a conscious approach to and coordination in the activity of the intermediate realm. This means that just as individuals are gradually drawn out of the world into the Church, just so will those who remain steadfast and who pass their tests be gradually drawn from within the Church into a state of consciously harmonized activity which leads the way toward a fusion of the Inner and the outer, thereby opening the way for the fulfillment of the words of Revelation 21:1—"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away."

It should therefore be clear that those who engage in the activity in the intermediate realm will not be leaving the Church behind but will rather be a focalized salient of the Church reaching ahead toward a point of fusion with the Inner Reality. Participation in the activity of the intermediate realm is not something which the individual may arbitrarily choose for himself, and then by some strange or mysterious means arbitrarily engage in. In the first place, it should be recognized that the matter of greatest importance to members of the Church is that they shall function effectively as members of the Church, so that the Church in turn may function as an effective unit. Only those who function effectively and correctly in the Church can have an opportunity to enjoy the privilege of conscious participation in the activities in the intermediate realm and, actually, all those who function effectively and correctly in the Church body will be having a part, whether they realize it or not, in the effective function in the intermediate realm.

This needs to be stressed very emphatically because if anyone thinks that he can fail to function correctly in the Church, or more or less arbitrarily jump ahead of the Church in order to participate more directly with me, he will find that it will not work. If you wish to participate with me, you will participate in the function and activity of the Church body, being certain that you do your part in the Church as a Faithful Servant of the Lord, and then, in due season, as you may become ready, and as there may be need for you to have a consciousness of your part and place in the activity of the intermediate realm, you will be drawn into a place where your vision and perception will be sufficient for the needs of your individual Service. Let me emphasize again that only correct and faithful function in the Church can open the way for an expanded vision and opportunity of function in what I have spoken of as the intermediate realm.

Just as you have been tested by your environment and the experiences of your life as you have moved forward, step by step, toward a more effective function as a member of the Church, just so will the natural experiences of your life and your function in the world and in the Church provide the tests which, when passed successfully, open the way for further advancement. To the degree to which you are in the world and not of it, these steps will come naturally and easily, as expressions of your own expanding Spiritual nature and sphere of vibrational activity, but to the degree that the natural experiences of your life in the Church and in the world present tests in relationship to your loyalty to the Lord and your integrity in giving fully of yourself and all that you have and are to the Service of the Lord and your brother man, you will find revealed to yourself those points in which you have immediate need for expansion of understanding and strengthening in Divine Purpose.

When you meet those things, which are to you as tests, tending to arouse in you wavering and uncertainty, you should pause to consider the Reality of your position as a Servant of the Lord, and your position in the Church and your position as a member of the human family, so that your attitude may be based upon a realization of who you are in Reality, and of the purpose for which you have life in this outer world. It should be remembered that you are not expected to have full understanding over night, and it is only natural that there should be times and circumstances when honest questioning is perfectly in order. It should also be recognized that you cannot at any point arbitrarily take the position that the fullness of understanding concerning any question shall come at any given time. In other words, the understanding necessary to answer the question can come only as you remember to keep on keeping on, letting yourself be drawn ever more fully into the Way of Reality.

As you remember the One Law, so that you maintain Negative Response to Reality, and avoid becoming positive to your rightful Positive, you will move surely, although it may seem at times to be slowly, toward the ultimate Goal. Those who become positive toward the Positive Center of things cannot hope to progress. In every instance where there has been a failure, so that an individual turned away from the Service, that individual has gone through a process of self-justification, by means of which he or she undertook to establish excuses for the positive attitudes toward Positive Reality, which finally brought him or her to a standstill and ultimately to turning away. Such processes of self-justification develop gradually, taking root here and there, in order to excuse the maintenance of crystallized concepts or preconceived ideas which prevent an expansion of consciousness and thereby in turn prevent the perception that would permit understanding.

Only as the individual recognizes that his only basis of function is provided by his own actual realizations, so that he does not attempt to function on the basis of someone else's realizations, can he hope to make progress. However, this correct policy of honestly facing the true nature of one’s own realizations should not permit an attitude of opposition to develop toward further steps upon the Way, and such honest convictions should not become crystallizations which prevent the natural outworking of expanded vision. Those who begin to look back toward the material things and comforts and concepts of the world do so at great peril. Those who undertake a life of selfless Service and let their lives be dedicated to the Lord, that in and through them God may be glorified, and their brother man may be blessed, find as they proceed along the Way that of a truth their lives are not their own. In the Service of the Lord, there is no such thing as holding out the promise that everything will be altogether lovely and that the individual can enjoy that which he himself chooses as being most pleasing to himself.

There are many ideas in the world to the effect that the adherents of certain schools of thought or religious beliefs can do as they please, and that they can gain an arbitrary control over other human beings, and over circumstances and affairs, to a degree that will let them do and be what they themselves choose. Such concepts are false, and they encourage in individuals the desire to be arbitrary dictators in circumstances which involve the lives of others than themselves. Aspirations to the state of dictatorship are not limited to those aggressive tyrants who have in times past started unholy and horribly destructive wars. If one were to carefully search out and record the facts, it would be possible to relate tens of thousands of instances to prove that individuals in all walks of life, from the most lowly up to those who are classed as the worldly great, have, when the opportunity presented itself, undertaken to use dictatorial methods in arbitrarily, controlling the lives of others. Such efforts are usually cloaked in the idea that such action is taken for the welfare of those who are involved who are conceived to have short-sighted vision and a lack of understanding in the matters involved.

Very often such dictatorial tyrants may be found in the home; sometimes in the person of the father, sometimes in the person of the mother, and sometimes in the person of one or more of the children. Such instances are found in the history of almost all organizations and movements. Instances of such activities are found in the history of small communities and large. It is not strange, then, that such instances appear at times in the governing cliques of nations. We have been successful through force of arms in removing certain dictators from the position of power which they held in world governments, and at this time our nation is still engaged in a war designed to eliminate aggressive dictatorship. However, the opportunity would not appear for big dictators to seize power and control nations if there were not hosts of little dictators who think to gain power by giving support to big dictators. The dictator's spirit and attitude must be removed from the hearts and minds of mankind as a whole before the world can be free of the dangers of dictatorial power in the hands of unscrupulous persons. It is very necessary that these facts be clearly understood, so that it will be seen that we recognize such things to be contrary to the best interests of all peoples. It might be argued that there have been benevolent dictators, and it is true that there have been individuals with dictatorial power who have used that power for the good and welfare of their people. It should, however, be remembered that the proportion of individuals who can be trusted with such powers is exceedingly small.

The question might arise as to why this matter is dealt with so fully in this connection, and the answer is so that the Principles involved may be clearly seen in relationship to the matter at hand. I myself have been accused of attempting to be, at times at least, dictatorial. An examination of the record will prove such complaints to be unfounded for this reason: I have never attempted to force anyone to do anything at any time. Those who have worked with me have voluntarily, of their own free will, chosen to do so. Under no circumstances has any form of coercion been used to secure cooperation. However, when individuals have of their own free will and choice chosen to work with me in the Service of the Lord, I have been very firm at times in pointing out that if individually or collectively a certain goal is to be attained, certain things are required of individuals and certain things must be done.

For those who walk in the Way with me, the door always stands open, that they may come in or go out as they shall choose. So long as they choose to dedicate their lives to the attainment of the Goal which we all envision; namely, the fulfillment of Revelation 21:1, so that true and lasting peace may be experienced by all peoples of the earth and so that in truth Revelation 21:4 may become an Eternal Reality, it must be recognized that the progress toward the Goal depends upon individual and collective function in harmony with absolutely fixed Laws and Principles which permit a positive function in accomplishment in the earth, here and now. We are working on the basis of a Divinely established Plan, which human beings cannot alter or change. This Divine Pattern is a blue print, so to speak, that has been given to us by the Lord, and we are instructed to build according to the blue print. We, as the builders, have no right to change or alter the blue print, and it behooves us to carefully abide by and fulfill the Divine Specifications that form the working instructions relating to the blue print.

No one is forced to work in the constructive program in which we are engaged, but those who do volunteer and choose to become a part of the Company of Earnest Ones who seek to build the edifice of human progress, according to the Divine Plan and Specifications, are under the necessity, so long as they are a part of the Company, to follow the blue print and conform to the Specifications, according to their highest and best possible understanding. This allows for mistakes in individuals and shortcomings of various kinds, but such things cannot become a part of the edifice. When and where they occur, they must be corrected. The mistakes of individuals cannot be allowed to remain a part of the edifice. In the outer human world a contractor who guarantees to construct a building according to certain plans and specifications may conceivably make a mistake but he is duty bound to correct that mistake, so that the building when completed is a fulfillment of that which is envisioned by the plans and specifications. If that be true in this outer world in relationship to humanly constructed buildings, how much more is it true in relationship to the work in which we are engaged.

It should be clear, then, that when I insist upon conformity to certain specifications, in relationship to the Plan, I am not in any sense being dictatorial, and I am not attempting to force anyone to be or do anything—I am only taking the attitude that while the individual chooses to work with me toward a mutual goal, he must conform to the Divinely established Specifications or the activity of his individual function will not only bring failure for himself but will tend greatly to nullify the constructive activities of all the others who are dedicated to this one Purpose. This should emphasize for you the importance of correct vibrational function within the Church, in harmony with the Laws and Principles of Reality which you have learned in the Third Sacred School. Also, you should see more clearly than ever before the important place which is held by the Church in the Cosmic Scheme of things as we work toward the fulfillment of our Divinely established Goal. Let us rejoice and praise the Lord that we have the opportunity and privilege of so doing, not for ourselves only but for all the children of men, from whatever race or place they may be. The requirements of our Service must necessarily be that we always give first thought to the greatest possible good for the greatest possible number, and not let that which might be merely pleasing in a personal sense interfere with progress toward the Goal. Such things cannot be accomplished in human strength or by reason of human wisdom—it is only as human beings let themselves be instruments in the Hands of God that it becomes possible to hope for the realization of our aspirations.

A Shifting In The Triangle Must Now Take Place

A  Shifting  In  The  Triangle  Must  Now  Take  Place

Principles  of  Creative  Triangles  and Cycles

Uranda   July 27, 1946  3 p.m.  Sunrise Ranch

We have been considering the Sabbath rest in the Lord. With respect to certain focalizations in the Body, we have been considering today certain of the beginnings of the new cycles of activity being born from within that Sabbath rest in the Lord. As we rest in the Lord we find that many things do begin to open up. We begin to see possibilities that can very easily come into the form of reality on earth. I mention that merely as an indication of that which is to be, because already from within that rest in the Lord, we see the beginning of that new cycle which the Lord hath ordained. 

This afternoon I would like to consider with you, in the beginning of our service at least, certain principles of reality in connection with creative triangles and cycles.  You have recognized for some time, in a theoretical, intellectual sense at least, and perhaps to some degree in realization, the great triangle which provides the creative base upon which this world was brought forth, the focalization which permitted that which we behold. We have recognized Orion and the Pleiades, with our sun as the apex in this solar system, as the cosmic base of the creative activity which found expression here. 

We have considered this same principle in relationship to specific phases of manifestation, but now I would like to draw your attention to a creative triangle that is of immediate importance in connection with that which has been, and certain shiftings of the triangle with respect to that which shall be. You already have some recognition of the fact that in order to establish a negative point of polarity in the earth a commission was given to the Lord of the Sacred Three by which the positive point of polarity natural to his position was to a very high degree relinquished insofar as function was concerned, in order to establish for the world, in the world, a negative point of polarity. 

Since this situation in the world is of cosmic importance, and since in all the cosmos there is interest in the outworking here being made manifest and since all cooperation possible has been provided from out of the cosmos, and since this world is a part of the solar system, and since we recognize that this process is essentially a process of creation, although we sometimes speak of it as recreation, an examination of the factors involved shows that the creative triangle had to be established according to laws and principles that would let the highest degree of this cosmic force be utilized in the accomplishment of the essential purpose. Therefore a creative triangle was set up recently—that is, about the beginning of this century—for a specific purpose. 

One point of the triangle was established in the Sun; one point of the triangle was established in the LORD of Lords in the Inner Planes; the third point of the triangle was established in the outer world in the Lord of the Sacred Three, to provide the manifestation of the negative polarity to the positive polarity, that the creative field might be established, cycles set up, results achieved according to the conditions of the world as they now are.  That is the basis upon which we have been operating, the basis by means of which the One Christ Body was focalized and brought forth to the degree that you see it manifest in the womb of the world's darkness. 

I have spoken of the birth of the Body. In a sense it is the birth of the Body; in another sense it is simply the entrance of life into the Body while it still remains in the womb with respect to the events yet to come. In any case it is recognized that the negative point of polarity that was arbitrarily established is properly contained, focalized, in the Body itself, which is in season to become the Head of the expanded expression of the Kingdom on earth.  That triangle in the creative cycles has worked effectively. The time is approaching when a shifting in the triangle must take place. 

The new manifestation of the triangle must be a shifting to contain the creative triangle within the Whole Holy World—one point established in the LORD of Lords, one point in the Lord of the Sacred Three, and one point in the One Christ Body made manifest. This means that the sphere of negative function which has been focalized heretofore in the Lord of the Sacred Three will be relinquished as rapidly as possible to the Body. It also means that two points of the triangle will then manifest in the Negative Triune World, one point remaining in the Inner Planes, focalized in the LORD of Lords. This provides a means by which the cycles of the expression of control with respect to the outer planes becomes more compact, as it were, more definitely brought into the field of control with respect to the Negative Triune World. 

In this shifting of the triangle, which must be permitted to manifest in the comparatively near future, we shall be permitted to have in manifestation, insofar as this activity is directly concerned, the absolute positive and the absolute negative in this outer world. Now of course there is the positive center of control in the Inner Planes, which is never overlooked, and to which the negative point of polarity must respond in order to make the triangle a reality. Nevertheless we are coming to the point where in this outer world the absolute positive and the absolute negative shall manifest for the purposes of the Kingdom. In a very real sense, vibrationally speaking, this means the coming of heaven into the world. 

You have already experienced that coming of heaven individually and collectively to a high degree, on the basis of the triangle now in operation; but whether it is immediately clear or not as to the reasons, that triangle now in operation is not suited to the completion of the work. It is a means by which the expression of heaven has been projected into the earth, but it cannot be the means of actually bringing heaven into the earth. In this move, where the two points of polarity of immediate importance with respect to the setting up of the Kingdom are in the world, it becomes something that is operating in the Negative Triune World; that is, from the standpoint of the Cosmos, from the standpoint of the center of our Solar World, from the standpoint of this Whole Holy World.  There we have a very great and important distinction. 

You have, during this period of the past up to the present, recognized that positive point of polarity in the world and accepted and responded to it, else you could not be here; but it has been at the same time the manifestation for you of the absolute negative to the point of polarity in the triangle established in the LORD of Lords. You recognize that to be true, don't you? Then we see that only one corner of the triangle has been and is actually in outer manifestation. This shift in the triangle, which is to take place in its appointed season as you continue to function in a manner that will let it be so, will not immediately change to any great or appreciable degree that which you see in the outer world. Because of your viewpoint, because of your recognition already established, the change in function from the standpoint of one triangle to the other will not make a great deal of difference, because you have come on the basis of the fundamental facts of the potential of that triangle as you have harmonized around the one manifest point. 

As the Body assumes responsibility with respect to the negative point of the triangle, and that responsibility is conveyed or relinquished by the Lord of the Sacred Three and he is permitted to establish his function on the basis of the absolute positive in the outer world, the spread there in a vibrational sense will not essentially change that which you already recognize; but you will find, as you function correctly in your places and we continue to operate, that there will begin to appear a very great change with respect to the manifestation and expression of power in an absolute sense, controlled. And the other corner of our triangle will be established in the LORD of Lords. 

Since He is in fact near at hand with respect to what we are doing, we are bringing the triangle down now, as it were, in the near future, in size to something that extends from the seen to the Inner Planes, and from these two points there is a focalization here to one point in the outer planes; therefore, comparatively speaking, it is a very small triangle. By reason of Unit response, we know that the LORD of Lords is near at hand; He is not far away. You know that I am not far away. You know that you are near unto Him and you are near unto me. It simply means that with respect to the points of outer control, we have the positive and the negative in the field out here, setting the vibrations with respect to the inner point of the triangle, so that we do not have to work simply on the basis of control from the Inner Planes. 

In a sense you have not felt that all of the control was in the Inner Planes; in other words your outer recognition with respect to your consciousness has seen two things in one point. Now that point must elongate, so to speak, and make a line, so that there is a positive and negative recognition in the outer—not two things at one point. To the degree that this fundamental shift in the cosmic outworking here in the world is seen, recognized and realized, the reasons for it are felt and known by the Body; so, when the time comes, recognition of that shift is in consciousness and function is made manifest accordingly on the basis of this comparatively small, compact triangle. 

Therefore we shall have for the time being what we may call a limited field of creative function. Actually our field has been small in one sense, although it has been spread out into the world considerably. In a vibrational sense we have had to depend upon this large triangle. To the degree that the negative point of the triangle comes into its place, functioning consciously and effectively in that place, it will permit a tremendous increase in the manifestation of the power of God on earth. It is in fact the coming of heaven into the earth vibrationally speaking, in a way that lets that vibrational fact which is polarized in form in the outer world, be the means by which heaven may manifest in the whole earth. 

I do not necessarily expect you to fully comprehend all of this, but I feel that you have a considerable grasp of its significance. Various points will come clear as we go along, but I should like to pause here now for such comments as you may feel to be in order from within your own heart. 

Richard Thompson — It would be true to say that heaven must be an absolute positive, and that there could not be a complete coming down of heaven into earth until there was established in the outer world the absolute positive.

Uranda — That is right. In other words, as long as the positive and negative poles in the triangle were not in the world in the absolute sense, heaven and earth could not become one. When we have that established in the outer in fact—not something hoped for, not something we tried to achieve—then in a vibrational sense heaven has come into the earth, and the manifestation of that must appear as these creative cycles between these two points of polarity are maintained.

William Oshanek — Uranda, from the standpoint of these negative and positive points of the triangle out in the outer world, heretofore, in order to establish the Christ Body, the Lord of the Sacred Three had to assume a negative aspect of function. As you are permitted to resume your own function as absolute positive of the Body, this elongated negative point is created, but at the same time you would be focalizing in the outer world the positive and negative points of the polarity of the three outer planes into the Inner Planes. From the standpoint of your own personal function there would be changes purely in the sense of being more positive as a Head, but you would still remain in the Body.

Uranda — I should still, in a sense, be a part of the Body. I wanted to give you a picture of the fundamental changes coming into manifestation. It will be a change because, in the first place, you have recognized that, regardless of wavering or uncertainties or questionings or struggles, my focalization here has maintained the absolute negative focalization for you to the LORD of Lords. That has been held here as a projection, as it were, around which certain individuals were drawn and, revolving around it, they became a part of it.

The first manifestation of the incarnation in this vibrational sense was of the Lord of the Sacred Three, and not of the Lord of the Sacred Seven; but as the Lord of the Sacred Three is permitted to relinquish that field of function with respect to the negative aspect to the Body, and to move out of it and away from it, so to speak, then the direct vibration of the other angle of the triangle, of the Lord of the Sacred Seven, incarnates in the Body and it becomes a dual incarnation in a sense; in other words from these two points there is an apex where these two points meet, and the negative aspect is at that point. Then we have something that, as the coordination is maintained in the negative aspect, so that it does not waver, is not pulled this way or that by anything that happens in the world, permits absolute control in the outer and in the inner, and with two currents focalized and meeting at the point of the positive, something is bound to happen.

First, you are in the Sabbath rest of the Lord, learning, simply to be that Body, with the positive point of reality, so to speak, incarnate in it in the closer sense. Then when it has become that Body, so that it is sufficiently stable, sufficiently unified in the fire, sufficiently established in the truth, so that there could be a withdrawal—that is the way it will work out. While this will be a withdrawal in one sense, to make way for something else, the focalization of the spirit incarnate in that Body still remains absolute. That also permits in a real or new degree the coming of the Spirit of Love into the Body, incarnating in the Body manifest in the positive and negative aspects to make the complete union. It must be one, but it is with respect to that that we find these focalizations outworking.  When it is seen that this outworking is simply a natural reversal of that which the Great Master worked out when He was on earth, and you function accordingly, it will all become clear and be absolute.

He said: "Before the Spirit of Truth can come to you, I must go to my Father." He had to withdraw from the body that He had been forming in order to let the new incarnation in that body appear. That group did not hold together to let the incarnation take place. Now, the manifest point of this positive control has formed something of which you are the parts. Just as the fulness of the Spirit of Truth could not come to them until He had withdrawn from the body, so the fulness of the Spirit of Love cannot come into this Body until the manifest expression here withdraws from the Body; but because the manifest expression thus assumed properly belongs on earth, that focalization does not have to go to the Inner Planes. The focalization that belongs in the Inner Planes is in the Inner Planes, so this withdrawal that must come in season is not the withdrawal of separation, but it must be a real withdrawal with respect to vibrations and focalizations involved.

That will permit the outpouring of the Spirit of Love in a new sense and on a new basis—not through the Spirit of Truth, but a direct expression from the LORD of Lords into that Body, on a vibration of focalization at an apex with the Spirit of Truth. Then these two radiations, blending, fusing, at one point in the Body, provide the outpouring of the holy spirit in the greater sense, toward which we are moving and which the LORD of Lords had set so that it could have been made manifest at that time. The manifestation of the Lord of the Sacred Three was there, but the Body did not stay steady and the parts of the Body started running before the Lord. At that time this same process working the other way could have come into manifestation. That was why I told you that in 70 A.D. the Master's prophecies could have been fulfilled.

Now we find that all the principles are exactly the same, and it is simple, because the Lord of the Sacred Seven is in the Inner Planes and the Lord of the Sacred Three is manifest and he has control of the outer manifestation of the Body. To the degree that the Body manifests properly, he can withdraw from the Body without leaving the Body, in a way that will let the Lord of Love come into you, just as the Master promised that the Spirit of Truth would come into them. As they functioned properly they began to feel that current, but they scattered under the pressure of it, started going this way and that, started functioning according to human concepts instead of remaining focalized and letting that current work according to the triangle, because the triangle that was being set up then is just the same as the one that is to be set up in the near future, but now we are setting it up again on a different basis.

Then it was the withdrawal of the Lord of the Sacred Seven, to permit this focalization. This time it is the withdrawal of the Lord of the Sacred Three from the point, without actually leaving the Body. This permits a manifestation of the positive and negative aspects on earth, so that the negative aspect will contain this union of the Spirits—the Spirit of Love and the Spirit of Truth centered at one point in the One Christ Body on earth.

The Lord of the Sacred Seven was the only One who could do the job then. It had to be Him because of many factors, some of which you may recognize, some perhaps not. He had to work primarily on His own current to build that which was the expression of the Spirit of Love. He used the Truth—the Truth was there—just as you have seen the Spirit of Truth in operation in manifest form, using the current of Love. They were not separate; but He was building it on His current, which was the only one He could build it on, and that did not emphasize to human minds the point of the truth. He made the form clear enough, but because of directions of response and attention, while it could have, and should have, worked out—I am not offering them any excuse—but you see how it is clearer to us than it was to them.

Then it was built on the primary current of the Spirit of Love; now it is built on the primary current of the Spirit of Truth, which makes it have a more stable form. If they had held steady, the spirit, the form in the truth, would have been there. As we approach this point of the greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the focalizations are firmer. You have been able to come from the standpoint of the Spirit of Truth, which has emphasized every conceivable angle of truth that your minds could possibly bring up, or demand an answer to, no matter what field you moved into. The Great Master did not do that; it was not necessary. The power of His personality and love was enough, and you have felt that when you have come close to the current. You start in with your questionings and when you get in there they are gone. Working all around His personality He gave the principles, He conveyed the ideas, He did not fall down on His job; but it simply did not take hold on the same basis. There could not be, in the sphere of those responding to Him, the questioning that has been possible and permissible in this development.

Richard Thompson — As far as this Body is concerned there is absolute acceptance of the Spirit of Truth, and that Spirit of Truth is manifest, and he is not going to retire from manifestation.  He will still be here to direct, shape and control, up to the point where that absolute negative response to the LORD of Lords is thoroughly established.

Uranda — That point is very good, because then the One who builded it had to withdraw, and they did not accept the focalization with respect to the Lord of the Sacred Three. This time it is the Lord of the Sacred Three who has builded on a basis that does not require his withdrawal. It could not be established that way then, under the circumstances. Now the control is more easily recognized with respect to the Truth than it was then.

The spiritual approach is not the most difficult of achievement actually, but it is the most difficult for human beings to accept. It would have been so much easier for humanity to come in on that current than to come in on this current, because the necessities of acceptance have become more stringent. At the time of the First Sacred School it was still easier for the world, but more difficult from the divine standpoint. Then it became more difficult both ways, and here we have this outworking.

Consider this fact. I said that the LORD of Lords was the only One who could have come through with respect to the mental. Suppose the Lord of Truth had attempted to come through on the mental. There would have been no way of focalizing the Spirit of Love in that level to let the job be done. The Lord of Truth was able to function in the mental realm, but he would have had to get enough of the current of the LORD of Lords—i.e., His Spirit of Love into that form at that level—to allow fusion to take place. Working through his point, humanity would not have accepted it. Now, coming in at the spiritual expression level, and demanding expression at that level or not at all, we function at the level of Love where it is made manifest naturally in the world. The Spirit of Truth coming into that level—it is a reversal again of the same principle; that is, utilizing the same principles—we see the same plan in operation.

Joe Wilson — With reference to the Great Master's ministry, as I understand it, it was necessary for Him to withdraw to the Inner Planes in order to set up the triangle that was needed. Why did He have to withdraw? Why could He not have stayed?

Uranda — I am glad you asked that. He is the Lord of the Sacred Seven, the LORD of Lords of the One Christ Body, and the Head of the Whole Holy World. The only place where He could establish a focalization of the triangle and hold it effectively with respect to absolute control would be in His place, which means in the Inner Planes, at the level of His natural dominion; otherwise His dominion, that which is really His kingdom, would be above Him. That which is of the kingdom of the Lord of Truth would be below Him, but His kingdom would be above Him. That meant that He had to return to the place of focalization at the head of His kingdom in order to have the whole Inner Realm of God Beings working with Him, to have the absolute control with respect to that point of the triangle, so that there could be this manifestation in respect to the Negative Triune World.

While He was on this earth for a time, one of the focal God Beings who normally functions in the Sun came to the Inner Planes of this Whole Holy World, and in conjunction with the Lord of the Sacred Five—these two God Beings—filled that place. If the triangle had been established in them it would have had to work, insofar as the Whole Holy World is concerned, from the point of the fifth plane and not from the point of the seventh plane. In that case the LORD of Lords would have actually had to relinquish His place in the Whole Holy World completely and channel it to some other God Being, which in the very nature of the structure could not be. This would have necessitated a shift in the whole Cosmos, just to satisfy the whims of man. It is not going to work that way.

Joe Wilson  — I suppose the same explanation would apply to the withdrawal of the Lord of the Sacred Three in setting up another point in the triangle?

Uranda — Yes, that is exactly the point, because from the standpoint of the cosmic setup the GOD of Gods does not propose to make a shift through the whole Cosmos just because human beings are stubborn. I suppose if He were so petitioned by God Beings, He might consider such a matter, but the God Beings would not think, under any circumstance, of proposing such a thing.  It would make the GOD of all Gods become negative to all humanity. I am glad it has come out like this and I surely appreciate that question, because through it there has come a definitely clear realization as to exactly why it has to be so, and I do not care whether humanity is saved or not, it is going to be so. If humanity is not saved it is not God's fault.

William Oshanek — I would like to state at this point that it becomes clear to us that the presently constituted members of the Christ Body have a great deal for which to be thankful, because we have not had to contend with great difficulties and disadvantages as did the Lord's servants and prophets in past ages. We have been born into this time toward which all prophets have looked with longing and anticipation, and now we see the fruitage of all the unceasing toil of those whom the Lord called to work out a means by which man could be saved from self-destruction. Therefore we should never disparage any of those who have contributed in any way toward this final outworking. Not one of us can help but have a feeling of elation that, at last we have reached a point of the climax of this greatest drama of the ages, in which we are privileged to take an important role and carry to a successful conclusion the work which the Great Master started.

Uranda — I praise the Lord for your expression, William. All those back through the line have had something to do with it, and we recognize that it is not any special credit to us that we are here and have that privilege, because there were many back along the way who longed to see this day.  There was one who was promised twice, according to Biblical record, that he would see it, and the Lord keeps His promises.

I think at a time like this there is a spiritual communion on a higher level than ever before. You see and feel things that you have not seen and felt before in the same way. You have been sensing these things, you have been, as it were, beholding in a glass darkly, but now you see face to face. We have been moving from glory unto glory under the blessings of our King, but there are still greater glories yet, still greater wonders yet—it has only started. If you could keep in your minds that we have just begun to reach the point of beginning; actually, all that we have done so far is to simply begin to get into position to do something.

You can see why I have not tried to do the things until the machinery for doing them was set up. As the Lord draws you to the point where you can see these things and know them, not just because I say so but because you find the words ringing to the depths of your being, because you know that it is true, you recognize the responsibility, the privilege, and above all, the fact that in the human sense, just as what you have beheld is impossible, so is that which is yet to be, impossible of accomplishment in human strength. All that I have unfolded before with respect to the Master's ministry, and with respect to what you have seen in my ministry—I have talked about various phases of it before—but you know that no human mind could see, detect, shape or mold that which is coming into manifestation, all these years of work coming to a point where you have seen it today. It is taking form and begins to shape in its place. That could not be humanly achieved—to recognize these triangles as they were back there, how they related to what the Master said He had to do, how it is bound up with what is taking place now. These things are not human achievements, and you know it. Just so, things ahead of us cannot be human achievements. Do you see any possible excuse for any questioning or doubt as we move forward, letting the Lord's will be done?
