Vibrational Design — Scintillating Strong Beautiful
It seems that there's a factor in human consciousness these days, particularly,
that might be summarized by the word instant.
There are all kinds of instant foods. People can't take the trouble, or think
they haven't the time, to let a cycle work out naturally. And so, catering to
this impatient state in human beings, all these instant things put in an
appearance. We are surely well aware that there are proper creative cycles.
There are times and there are seasons. There are natural pulsations.
One principal aspect of education was to
come into a conscious awareness, in actual experience, of what these are; not merely
to nod heads in agreement and say, “Yes we know there are Four Forces in
sequence, and the various cycles come and go, the wheels within wheels; we know
all these things”—but what are they? And how associated with them are we? There
are times and there are seasons, certainly. And there is a need for a
recognition of what it is that is not there yet, what it is that is just
beginning to put in an appearance, what it is that is in the bud stage, and
what it is that is ready to burst forth in flower. Otherwise we get all things
mixed up and we're trying to produce the full-blown flower when the shoot
hasn't even appeared above the ground.
Now if we see all this in a practical
way we recognize that everything that is transpiring within the range of the responsibility
of which we are aware relates to these creative cycles and we need to see
things in this way. As has been noted, almost every activity that emerged in
the Emissary ministry has been judged adversely in various ways by different
people—and certainly judged adversely by those who are looking in from outside,
so to speak, completely unaware of what was happening. Even those who were
inside were unaware of what was happening, for most of the time. But here a
creative cycle had been working.
We've seen them working out over the millennia.
And more particularly now, we see them working out over the last two thousand
years, and taking various forms in various ways. We've noted how the orthodox pattern
of Christianity, for instance, took form the way it did and the gnostic views were
shelved to one side, because the Lord is, one might say, very intelligent. He
understands what He's doing and how these creative cycles are used to
advantage. There are certain limitations in the operation of these cycles until
the point of conscious awareness could begin to put in an appearance. It had to
work out in a more or less unfocused way in order to move somehow toward the
point where this focus could begin to appear. Now it's been doing that, and who
can say that any event that occurred was not necessary. It's all part of
whatever has worked out.
The same thing is true from the standpoint
of our field of encompassment once we begin to be conscious of the fact that
there is a field to encompass. And in that field of encompassment there are
many things working out. We are careful not to judge what is happening until we
can discern the way in which these things relate to our field of
responsibility. We don't jump to conclusions, in other words. We don't
immediately throw something out because we don't understand how it relates yet.
Let things alone—there is an unfoldment taking place.
So this has been happening consistently
down through the ages, that eventually the thing might come to point, there
might emerge a conscious focus from within the body of mankind. Mankind, after
all, is responsible—made in the image and likeness of God so that God might be
on earth. So what is happening emerges from within the body of mankind. We find
ourselves associated with this and beginning to come to a level where we have a
conscious awareness of what it is that is happening, rather a restricted one at
the moment but nevertheless something that is coming into increasing focus to
be seen. There's a lot more to be seen but we're content with what we see now.
There needs to be care taken, then, that
one doesn't look at some, even one's own, field of encompassment and say, “Well
this shouldn't be happening.” How do you know it shouldn't be happening? Maybe
it's an absolutely essential part of what should be happening—we take that
attitude anyway. And when we begin to have some spiritual perception we begin
to sense what it is that is moving, and we can shepherd things a little this
way and little that way so as to keep it on the rail, so to speak. Then there
needs to be care taken not to look over the fence at something else happening
somewhere else and judge that, because we need to have a wholeness of
encompassment, and know that if something is working out in our own area it is
working out everywhere else as well. So we can have an enfolding attitude
toward all that is happening.
So there are many things that have
happened, are happening, and will happen, within the range of our awareness.
And remember that most of the things that are in the range of our awareness
come to us secondhand, at least secondhand, maybe tenth hand, so that what
we think we know about something is not the way it really is probably at all.
We're content to let things be the way they are working, without any
expectation that our minds are going to be able to determine just exactly what
it is that is happening or, certainly, what it is that should happen. Leave it
in the hands of the spirit. We are that spirit.
We have mental capacity, which is a
little bit puny in a way, that is capable of handling this little thing and
that little thing that happens to come up against us, but it tends to be very
incapable when it comes to the larger picture. It doesn't see things the way
they are at all. But in spirit there is a knowing of the way things are. There
is a certain assurance. And there is, on the basis of this knowing, which isn't
a mental knowing. Let us disillusion ourselves from the idea that knowing is some
sort of intellectual grasp. It isn't. The intellectual grasp usually prevents
knowing. It's only when the grasp relaxes that we begin to know something,
because we're always trying to cram things into the picture that really don't
belong there at all if the intellect has anything to do with it. The intellect
may be a useful tool; in the world the way it is it seldom is. From our standpoint
it needs to be, but it needs someone on hand—that is the angel, who knows, and
who therefore provides the spirit of patience, for instance, to the mental
activity. “Stop trying to figure everything out.” That's what the angel says to
the mind, “Relax! It's all right. Let it work the way it's working, actually,
and not the way you think it should work.” Patience is just the first step,
isn't it?
We've defined that in other terms: representing
God to the people. There is the other aspect too: representing the people to
God. And the people are somewhat confused, aren't they? They don't know. They
don't understand. Well if we represent the people to God, I suppose we need to
realize that, from the standpoint of our representation in that direction, we
don't know: we don't understand; we don't see it. But we are bringing together
these two aspects. Representing the people keeps us humble; representing God
gives us an absolute assurance. When the two are together in experience there
is the facility on hand by which the fulfilment of the purposes of God
inevitably come. So here we are with these dual roles which blend together in
oneness. We are at the crossover point, representing God to the people, the
people to God.
Now this design is present in God Whom
we represent, the design that essential to the state of man. It's there; we
don't need to manufacture it. It's present already. It has been hidden because
there has been no one adequately to proclaim it. We're here to proclaim it—not
to try to educate people into understanding what it is, but to provide
education which allows people to come into position to let it be revealed what
it is. There's quite a difference here, you know. It's not filling people up,
it's emptying people out more than anything, so that there may be room enough
to receive what is all ready present, so that this which is already present may
not merely be discerned by some super Kirlian photography but may be filled out
with flesh—so that it is revealed and there is no argument. There it is. The
flesh is there because there is a larger revelation than is possible merely
through the flesh. The flesh includes much more.
The beautiful essences of being
emerge into expression because there is the focus of knowing on earth, the
focus of dominion and control which is not imposing anything on anyone but is
allowing what has eternally been present to be revealed in living form, principally
through the flesh of human beings, at least in the initial sense, because that
is the immediate requirement in the purposes of God: that man should be
present, that God should be on earth and capable because He has the
facility to act on earth and to do what is needful in the creative process,
which certainly involves the earth, but far more than the earth.
Now we have a dawning awareness of these
things because we have a sensing of what it is that is already present. What it
is that is already present is moving, it's living, scintillating; it is strong
and, above all, beautiful. We share in the knowing of this. We find ourselves
with the necessities of the small fields of our creative action to let this
knowing imbue whatever it is we need to do. And we find, then, that our fields
of action combine—altogether it becomes a bigger field of action because of
that, and we become aware of more ramifications to it. But it always starts
right with the individual where he is. We only begin to be able to encompass
the larger ramifications because there is a larger body which is composed of
individuals with small parts, so to speak, to play. We find those small parts
do expand because they become related to what is happening from the standpoint
of the whole body.
We do the works individually, and we're
delighted to do those small works. Oh that there might be those who are aware
of the value of small works. Let the works be done that thereby the greater
works may be done because they're done by this collective body of individual
people who are delighted with their small works—and they're not getting big
heads about all the things they're going to do.

Mysteries of Eternity — Ascending Spiral
Mysteries of Eternity — Ascending Spiral
Uranda December 16, 1943
As
we move in the ever ascending Cycles of the Eternal, we relax under the influence of the Holy Spirit so that we may, one and all, be easily led into
All Truth. We are doing our part in letting the Truth bring the Freedom of
Reality into manifestation for all the Faithful Ones upon the face of the
earth. When we let go in the Current of the Spirit, which is itself Eternal, we
find it easy to begin to comprehend the so-called Mysteries of Eternity.
You are
well aware of the fact that all creative processes move in cycles; that
Eternity itself is symbolized by the circle, which is without beginning and
without end: and that from the standpoint of the Divine that which is under the
influence of creative processes is never static. From the time that activity is
set up in the unformed, the substance so produced continues through a constant
process of adjustment, change and progress that is not at any time completely
static—although from the human standpoint it might seem that the substance in
rock, for instance, might properly be called a static formation.
The magnitude of the Cosmic Cycle of Creation is
beyond the immediate comprehension of the human mind; nevertheless, the human
mind can understand that, regardless of the magnitude of the dimensions
involved, there is such a Cycle. The
Cosmic Cycle is so huge that it includes the fullness of All that Is, and within that Cosmos our universe constitutes
but one of tens of thousands of universes. The Creative Cycle of our Universe
is of such magnitude that there is no need, at this time at least, to attempt
to grasp the distances and the time elements involved—but within the Creative
Cycle of our Universe we have the Creative Cycle of our own solar system, which
relates directly to us and to the world in which we live. In the Creative
Cycles of our own solar system, and particularly of our own world, we find that
which we can, under the influence of the Spirit, begin to comprehend and understand.
When we consider the progression of the Creative Cycles of Being, it must be understood that up and down, or lower and higher, are relative terms which must not be confused with the ordinary usage of the terms up and down as they relate to a given point on the earth's surface. As the earth revolves, a given point at the equator in relationship to a given point exactly opposite on the equator, or, in other words, one-half the distance around the earth, will be up part of the day in relationship to the second point, and down part of the day in relationship to the second point—up and down at a given point on the earth's surface may be opposite to the same use of the same terms at another point on the earth's surface.
To further illustrate this important point, we recognize that the progression of the Creative Cycle is in the nature of an Ascending Spiral rather than in the nature of a fixed circle. If we have an ascending spiral, the upper part of which is lost from view in distant infinity, but the lower part of which is directly before our vision, and we run a vertical line from the starting point upward along one edge of the spiral, we will note that movement beginning at the lower end of the spiral and moving along the spiral will, after the first cycle, come to the vertical line, or a point directly above the starting point. In this case, the movement has been in the form of a circle, and the completion of the circle is at the same vertical point as the beginning. So for ordinary practical purposes the circle, being without beginning and without ending, illustrates Eternity, but as the vision expands and understanding increases, we cease looking at the bottom of the spiral which seems to be a circle only, and we look at the side of the spiral where the ascending vibration of the Creative Cycles becomes evident. To the degree that this illustration is clearly comprehended, the endless nature of Eternity becomes less mysterious.
The Creative Spiral for this world began at the point of the beginning of the creation of this world. This beginning point was selected, not in an arbitrary manner, but with a full recognition of the relationship of all the Cosmic Forces focalized into that given point through the creative triangles of the Universe and of the Cosmos as they relate to this solar system, and as they were focalized with respect to our Sun at the point where creation was to begin. It is not expected that you will be able to fully understand all that this implies, but to the degree that you do understand it, the logical nature of the processes of creation will become increasingly evident to you.
Remember that everything which is accomplished from a Cosmic standpoint through the Creative Power of God is worked out on the basis of mathematical certainties in relationship to fundamental Principles and Laws, and with a full recognition of the nature and strength of the Cosmic Currents and Forces which are focalized in any given activity. If you remember that God does not do anything on a haphazard basis, or by reason of whim and fancy, but that, rather, all Divine and Spiritual things are worked out with mathematical precision and certainty, you will have removed from your mind one of the greatest causes of confusion with respect to things Divine. It is obvious, then, that human beings must first permit themselves to be coordinated with the basic Laws of Being, and that they must begin to understand those Laws and work with them before they can hope to have any effective expression from the standpoint of Creative Activity.
Let us now return to the starting point of creation as related to this world. The Four Forces have been given symbolical names, which facilitate a comprehension of the four basic forces which manifest through the created forms of this world. From a Cosmic standpoint, the forces utilized were not limited to what we call the Four Forces, and it must be recognized that what we broadly term the Four Forces are sub-divided into innumerable sub-classifications of Divine Activity in-and-through all created forms on this earth. The usual arrangement of these symbolical names of the Four Forces must be reversed before the correct manner of their application and function can be understood. We change, then, the arrangement—Fire, Earth, Air and Water, to Water, Air, Earth and Fire. You are already somewhat familiar with the meanings contained in these symbolical terms, and the reasons for their use. Now, we turn to the story of creation as contained in the first part of Genesis, and we find that the Biblical story of creation emphasizes the correct understanding of the Four Forces.
Remember that I specified that the Four Forces, broadly indicated by these symbolical terms, are as they relate to manifestation in-or-through the created form not to the Cosmic Forces which, in their Universal nature, may be thought of as preceding, or exterior to, the specified Four Forces; although it must be recognized that the Four Forces in manifestation through created form have their origin in Cosmic Forces which are not necessarily limited to the nature and function of the Four Forces as we are considering them. This distinction must be borne clearly in mind in order to avoid confusion, and it is illustrated in our first text: Genesis 1:2 — “And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” That was the starting point of creation on the first day. However, it is at once seen to be obvious, in accordance with the distinctions we have just drawn, that the action of the Spirit of God prior to and at the beginning of creation, implies vastly more than the Spirit of God symbolized by air as made manifest in and through all the forms of created things on this earth.
Therefore, the First Force in its segregated form relating to the creation of this earth, is symbolically named Water, and it signifies the specific group of Truths or basic Principles and Laws which constituted the scope of Creative Activity as it was to relate to this world, and thereby established the limits of that which was to be. In other words, there is vastly more Truth in function and manifestation in the Cosmos than was required in the making of this world. Therefore, the first step of creation, after the Cosmic selection of the starting point, was the selection of the Truths necessary to the fulfillment of the pre-determined Plan for this earth, and then the release of the Spirit or Power of God through those Truths to begin the process of creation, whereupon there was Light. In the “deep” of space, which was void of all form, and where there was darkness because there was nothing to reflect the light, the beginnings of creation took place.
Part of the work of the first day was the establishment of the nature and limits of the Creative Day which was, according to present time measurements, a period of 25,872 years. The Six Days of Creation, then, covered a period of, roughly, 155,000 years. In other words, the beginning of creation was at a point 310,852 years B.C.
As we shall see shortly in our further consideration of the cycles of the Four Forces, they are all four always present, but with one only dominant in any given Creative Day, so that the Water Vibration continued dominant for 25,872 years, whereupon the Air Vibration became dominant, followed by the Earth and Fire Vibrations, whereupon the sequence begins again, with Water again becoming dominant. This earth, and man, the crowning creation, are the result of the use of the Trinity Pattern, and therefore in the basic cycle of the spiral from the starting point to a point first directly above the starting point, there were three repetitions of the sequences of the Four Forces, or twelve Creative Days, which completed the first cycle of creation for this world that terminated 388 B.C.—or 310,464 years—which carry us to a point 388 B.C.
Each Creative Day of 25,872 years is divided on the Trinity Pattern into twelve sections, so that the twelve segments of the Creative Day, each being 2,156 years long, relates to the period of time required for the Sun of our solar system to make one revolution in its orbit around its Central Sun, although the path of the Sun is in the form of an ellipse and not a circle, because of the progression in the movement of our Sun's Sun through the Cosmos. We find, then, that the successive dominance of the Four Forces in the 2,156 year periods is repeated three times within one Creative Day of 25,872 years. Here you begin to get a picture of the way in which the Four Forces are combined to produce specific results.
The first Creative Day began with a Water Vibration; in other words, Water was dominant in the Creative Day, and Water was dominant as the beginning point in the 2,156 year cycles. As soon as the first sub-cycle closed, Water continued dominant in the creative cycle, with a sub-cycle of Air dominance, and so continued in natural sequence through the first Creative Day. The second Creative Day, as we find in the sixth and seventh verses of the first chapter of Genesis, began with a dominant Air Vibration and a Water Vibration in the sub-cycle. The firmament is the atmosphere, or the air of this earth, which is symbolical of the Spirit of God as manifest in-and-through created forms. On the third Creative Day the dry land appears, so the natural sequence of the dominance of the Four Forces is substantiated by the Biblical record. On the fourth Creative Day, the light of the sun, moon and stars penetrated to the earth's surface by reason of the clearing of the earth's atmosphere, and so we have on the fourth Creative Day the dominant Fire Vibration.
If our sequence is correct, the fifth Creative Day should again return to Water, and you will note in verse 20 that God said: “Let the waters bring forth abundantly.” The sixth Creative Day should be an Air Vibration, and we find that it was in the sixth Creative Day that animal life was created, with the crowning creation of man—and air is the basic essential for life in the animal kingdom. Man can go for periods without food, and water, but shut off his supply of air and he dies immediately. The seventh Creative Day, an Earth Vibration, was a day of rest. As you follow this through to its logical conclusion, you see that the concluding Creative Day of the first cycle would naturally be Fire.
It was during the Fire Age of 25,872 years which ended 388 B.C. that Lemuria went down in flames of fire, and 1,000 years later (or after the submersion of Lemuria) Atlantis submerged. In the latter part of this twelfth Day of creation, as the first cycle was drawing to a close, man had returned to a point of consciousness where he began to again be aware of the direction of the Lord, as evidenced by Old Testament history. What is the outstanding thing in the symbolism of religious ceremonies during the Old Testament period? The answer is Sacrifice by Fire. It was a Fire Age, concluding with a Fire Vibration in the sub-cycle. It was from the burning fire of the bush that was not consumed that God spoke to Moses. It was in the fire and smoke of Mount Sinai that the Commandments were given. Sacrifice by fire characterized the whole Old Testament period.
This means that the first cycle of creation came to an end in 388 B.C., and for the first time since the beginning of creation the world was back to a point directly above the starting point. The earth and all that is therein had been created. Divine Man had been established in the earth, and then in the beginning of the twelfth Day of creation man had fallen, with subsequent cataclysmic changes in the earth which carried man down to what has been called the Cave Man Age, and then for about 5,000 years man progressed to a point where we have the beginning of recorded history, going back to about 5,000 B.C.
Man had progressed to a point in the latter part of the twelfth Day of creation where it was possible to begin to work out the Plan of Salvation, and the First Sacred School was established at the direction of Melchizedek. However, the Israelites failed to carry through on the opportunities given them, so the beginning of the actual process of making all things new according to the Promise contained in Revelation had to wait until the beginning of the second Cycle of creation, or until the world had returned on the spiral to a point directly above the starting point of creation.
As soon as this thirteenth Day of creation was well started, Jesus came. As the world had returned to the Vertical Line on the Ascending Spiral for the first time since the beginning of creation at 388 B.C., we begin to recognize the Cosmic reasons back of the coming of Jesus into the world at the time that He did come. The Cosmic Forces were again for the first time focalized in a manner identical to those which permitted the beginning of the creation of the world, and through the use of those Forces, and the manifestation of Jesus, the beginning of the recreation or restoration of the world could best take place.
This thirteenth Creative Day in which we now live is, in the natural sequence, seen to be a Water Vibration—just as was the first Day of creation. The first sub-cycle of this Creative Day was also Water. We note that Jesus began His Ministry by the baptism of water, by the changing of water to wine. He called disciples who were fishermen. Many of His Miracles related to water. He walked upon the water—He was in the boat on the water at the time of the storm. Water baptism was instituted as a symbol of the cleansing of the individual by the action of Truth under the influence of the Spirit of God. Jesus obviously recognized that in this first Creative Day of the second cycle, He was dealing with a Water Vibration, both in the dominant cycle and in the sub-cycle.
This first Day of creation in the new cycle, which is the thirteenth Day of creation from the beginning of creation for this world, is naturally a period of 25,872 years dating from 388 B.C., but the sub-cycle beginning 388 B.C. on the dominant Water Vibration ended 2,156 years later, or in 1768 A.D. Remembering our sequence, we see that 1768 A.D. would mark the beginning of the second sub-cycle in this Creative Day, and that it would be under a dominant Air Vibration. We have, then, at the present time a dominant Water Vibration in the Creative Day, and a dominant Air Vibration in the sub-cycle in which we now live. By the beginning of this century the influence of the dominant Air Vibration of the sub-cycle began to be evident. The airplane, the radio, precipitation of chemicals from the air, and many other things, show how it is that we are living in an Air Age insofar as the sub-cycle is concerned.
It is through this Air Age that the speeding up process which is shortening the days—and is intensifying the destruction of evil by evil—has taken place and is taking place in accordance with prophecy. Now man is being given his final opportunity to return to God. In this first Creative Day of the new cycle, God is beginning to make all things new. Through the progression upward on the creative spiral, the vibrations in which the world is functioning are becoming more and more rarefied, so to speak, and man will have to let go of evil and turn to God in order to live in these higher vibrational conditions. If man as a whole were to refuse to Respond and be recreated and reborn in this period, he would in a comparatively short time destroy himself from the face of the earth. It is not anticipated that this will be the case, but if this should happen, we are still in the first Day of creation of the new cycle, and God would be in position to carry on creative processes and create man on a higher vibration in this cycle, so as to remove any possibility of a repetition of the fall.
It is anticipated that there will be those who carry through into the New Age State of Being, but because we are in a cycle that is on a higher plane of vibration directly above the point of the beginning of creation, the intensified vibrations will make it impossible for evil to again manifest, no matter which alternative of the outworking plan must be utilized. If the Faithful Ones carry through into the fullness of this New Age Vibration, they will populate the earth made New. If such a thing as the failure of all human beings were to take place, the Cosmic Vibrations are such that God could create Divine Man and begin again on the higher plane of the present cycle.
In the original creation God made every provision necessary for Divine Man, but He recognized that on the plane of vibration then manifest the fall of man was possible. God warned against self-activity; it was not God's Plan that man should fall; but it was necessary for the beginning of the creation of the world to take place under the focalization of the Cosmic Forces that were utilized. Now, through progression along the spiral of the Creative Cycles, we are reaching a point where evil cannot continue indefinitely to exist, and once the change is accomplished, the vibrational state of being will be such that a repetition of the fall will be impossible.
This gives a deeper understanding of the Cosmic Principles and Forces that are in operation in the world and in our lives individually. To the degree that we recognize the Cosmic significance of the time in which we live, and to the degree that we, individually and collectively, coordinate with these Laws, Principles and Forces, we will be doing our part in accomplishing the Greater Works which are required for the recreation by which God is making all things new, that the New Earth State may be hastened, and that as many as possible of the children of men may carry through this time of turmoil into the New Age. As the world experiences crucifixion, and then passes through the period of the darkness of the tomb, it is for every Faithful One to remain attuned to the Cosmic Currents of Life by which the Victory over the tomb may manifest for the world, in accordance with the Way in which our Great Master led.
Therefore, as the Earnest Ones, recognizing the basic Principles regulating the operation of the Four Forces in-and-through this world, begin to let these same Four Forces become the dominant influences in their individual lives, we find that the scope of function becomes the whole of Truth, the power of function becomes the release of the unlimited Spirit of God, the foundation of function becomes in all things the Rock of Reality, and the manifestation of function becomes the expression of Divine Love that is as firm and undeviating in the face of opposition as it is gentle in the consideration of True Response.
