Uranda  1938

Uranda takes this method of answering certain of your important questions which are of vital import

to all the Earnest Ones who have chosen to Walk the Flaming Way

in Response to the Expression of Reality in the out-working Cosmic Plan.

Question — My niece was to have been married, and her friend died suddenly. She takes it very hard, and lies awake at night waiting for him to return. To my idea, Souls do not return, as when one dies the Soul of that person goes into a new-born babe. Am I wrong in this?

Uranda’s Answer — You are wrong in the idea that the Soul goes into a new-born babe upon leaving the body at death. All the ideas that are supposed to tell how long the God-Being waits between incarnations are absolutely false. The God-Self again incarnates when and as He can be most helpful in the out-working of the Cosmic Plan, and so render the greatest possible Service.

The God-Self is not subject to set periods of time, no matter what any may have taught on this subject. You are right in feeling that the Soul, or God-Self does not return to communicate with those who remain on earth—and all of the ideas of communion with “departed Spirits”, “Souls”, “Spirit Brothers”, and so-called “discarnate Masters”, are false. That which is seen, and thought to be the departed loved one, may be a thought-form. Sometimes, shortly after the passing of a loved one, a person contacts the thought-form which that person had created during life, and such an experience can be real, even to the extent of speaking and feeling. However, that thought-form soon dissolves and is no more. Then, under certain conditions, a thought-form of that person can be, so-to-speak, resurrected from the aura of the one remaining. This is what the genuine Spiritualists (meaning those who are not consciously promoting a fraud) do, and in some cases, as in so-called “materializations”, the thought-form is filled out with substance drawn from the “medium” and from the “circle”. But such a manifestation is never the person it is supposed to be. Information given under any such conditions is drawn from the person's own aura, even though he may never have consciously known such information before. The so-called “great mediums” are really “mind readers” who pick up vibrations from the radiations of the individuals present, and personalize those vibrations as much as the response of the person will permit. All such activity is utterly useless, and should be avoided. Let the Earnest One ignore all such things, and Respond in Love to his own Lord within, and in due season, if he wavers not, he will abide in Peace and in Understanding.

I would, also, point out that the incarnating God-Being is always present at the time of conception, and remains focalized in the forming body throughout the pre-natal period.

Question — If we are soul mates here and one dies, then will we know each other, or be permitted to see each other?

Uranda’s Answer — Much has been written and taught concerning so-called soul mates. Truly, “Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread.” If people would forget all they ever heard about soul mates they would be better off. There is a Cosmic Mate for each one, and in due season each will function with that Cosmic Mate. God-Beings who are Cosmic Mates always know each other and function with each other, whether incarnate or not. But this is the important point: No one can tell another whether or not his or her mate is or is not a soul mate, and anyone who attempts to tell of such things is guilty of falsehood. In rare instances human beings may become aware of such a Harmonization, but not more than one out of every hundred thousand of such supposed relationships has any foundation in fact. Let every married couple consider themselves to be true Mates in Oneness, and let them let all things work out in due season. Let no one be carried away with the idea that some person other than his or her present mate is a “soul mate,” for much sorrow and suffering has been born of such imaginings. Those who Respond in Truth will understand the Mystery of Cosmic Mates in due season.

Questions — There is a question that has been in my mind for some time that I am going to ask you to make clear for me. I do not think it is a thing I have to know—perhaps it is meaningless speculation on my part—but I would like to know, and I shall never feel free of the question until I am satisfied I have the answer. It has to do with your message on The Astral Realm. If I can make my question clear, it is this: I understand that when the body dies it disintegrates and is “as if it had never been”. I also thoroughly believe that the Spirit that ascends is, and always was, perfect. But if a Spirit incarnates many times, is there no relation at all between incarnations? I mean, suppose in this life I learn many things (as I have) but do not fully ascend and my body dies. In my next incarnation is what I have learned of no help to me at all? Is there no, shall I say, mental life that persists to become a part of my next body so that I shall go on from where I left off this time? Or do I, as Spirit, simply take on an absolutely new mind as well as body with no connection at all with my former life; not having any benefit from former lives to help this particular body ascend. I have always felt that there was some connection, and that what I learned in one life carried over into the next. But, of course, I know the Spirit is perfect, birthless and deathless, eternally perfect. It cannot need to learn. Is there, then, a mental life that persists and gains experience, and forms part of every incarnation?

Uranda’s Answer — Truly it is a joy to behold the way in which my paper The Astral Realm, has given many a new opportunity to Relax into a new Vision and Realization. Rejoice. This question is so well put, and voices what so many are asking, that I would present a simple and complete answer for all who are willing to be received into the New Vision.

You are right in realizing that this point is not absolutely essential to full Release. The essential points I have given many times in many ways, and they all hinge around the One Great Truth: Love your Lord with your whole being, and let your Lord's Perfect Love pour out through you in blessing to your Brother Man in Rejoicing.

First I would ask a question. Would it not be logical to suppose that if a memory of what one “learned” in a past life were essential to the perfect expression of this life, the Creator would surely have caused such memory to be natural to all people. You will have to admit that that would be logical. We recognize that the Lord provides all that is essential to the greatest possible Release of Reality in each one, no matter who or where. We do not find such “memory” of past lives to be a natural thing to man. There must be a very good reason why human beings come into this life with a blank mind, and without any memory of anything past. There are a few rare instances which tend to indicate the possibility of such “memory.”

Question — Is the Release, or Ascension, of the Earnest One dependent upon “learning,” either past or present?

Uranda’s Answer — Obviously, if one should answer in the affirmative he would at once be confronted with the task of making “intellectual giants” of all the people of the world, and none can doubt that under the present process of life that would need “millions of years.” However, if one really recognizes that the Lord within already know all, the feeling of a need for much learning at once begins to vanish away; and in its place comes a sweet peace, out of which the Garden of Reality begins to grow—not by much learning, but by much loving is release experienced.

Question — A question has been gradually taking form in my mind, something like this: “If that body which remains at the separation called death is scattered back into the soil ... and so into other human bodies”—yet, “all the body-substance which Ascends is never more subject to physical life and death,” what does become of that substance? That is, one who has Responded wholly to his Lord appears to have left his physical substance at death even as one who has by lack of Response repelled himself from his Lord, even unto extinction. Is it not so?

Uranda’s Answer — No, dear Sister, it is not so. That human being who has “Responded wholly to his Lord” does not leave any physical substance behind in so-called death, for such an one Ascends as did Enoch and Elijah. Anything that is left did not respond, no matter how good that person was. That which Ascends must do so during life with a final separation of the Ascending Atoms from those being left behind taking place at death of the body. That which Ascends, whether during life or at the time of passing, is received into the Inner Plane Reality which cannot be described in human language. The Bible speaks of such Ascended Substance as “stars in the crown”, or, as “a pillar in the house of God,” and in many other ways. It is enough that that which Ascends has been received into the Positive Phase of Heaven beyond all human limitation.

It may be helpfully interesting to know that the average good sincere, earnest person who truly lives the best he knows, and honestly Loves God and his Brother Man, allows, during a lifetime of “three score and ten years,” the Ascension of about as much physical substance as would be required to make three complete human bodies. This is only a broad generalization in order to give something of an illustration to those who need it. It must be recognized that there is a variation in every life, and none can say how much of any person's body has Ascended unless it all Ascends at the close of earth life—but even then there has been much that has been cast out of that person’s body as refuse during his life time. The important thing is for each one to live the Life of Love Response to the Lord and let the Father within take care of that which Ascends. That which does not Ascend will return to the soil of the earth, whether cast out day-by-day as refuse, or whether left behind at the separation of Atoms at the death of the physical body. The Lord of the Harvest will garner the wheat (Ascending Atoms) of the Harvest into His “barns,” or the Place of His Presence and Function. Our Great Master gave many illustrations in this regard which apply both to the world as a whole, and to the body-world of each and every human being.

Question — What becomes of the God-Being and also the human at death of a person who denies God and immortality?

Uranda’s Answer — The same thing that happens to any other unresponsive person. The one who so denies is not Responding to his Lord, and so he goes into the soil of the earth as refuse, and the God-Being goes into the Inner Planes just the same as any other God-Being. The sins of the human being never attach to the God-Being.

Question — Is it possible for this body to become so perfect as to Ascend with the God-Being, and have no atom of it return to the earth, and how long could such an one stay on this planet?

Uranda’s Answer — The body is in a constant state of flux, taking on and casting off atoms each day, and the Responding One may become so perfect in Love Response to his Lord that he is caused to Ascend, but up to the time of actual Ascension there would be a degree of casting off—and such a person could stay in manifest life as long as his Service in the earth might be needed, providing he remained in perfect Polarity of Being.

Question — In the dividing of the “sheep from the goats,” if some of our Loved Ones here on earth should not Respond, and should be removed from the earth, will their God Beings, who always function in Perfection, and who Ascend when separated from the body at death, have a part in the Spiritualization of the earth from the Inner Planes? For instance, if one who has had his greatest function in creating wars, unrest, turmoil, etc., in the earth, and is removed from the earth by death, does his God Being have a part in the establishment of the Christ Kingdom from the Inner Planes?

Uranda's Answer — The simple and complete answer is, Yes. To fully understand this answer requires a Realization of the fact that the God Being, or Immortal Self which leaves the body at death, was not responsible for the wrong acts of the human being, and is not in any way limited by such wrong acts—and so it is that all that leaves the body at death, and Ascends, is just as perfect as the God Being that Ascends from the body of a good person, and so has a part in the Cosmic Plan just as surely as if the wayward human body had never been born—and, also, you may be sure that there was a certain amount of Ascension from that body during the life span of the human being, so that life was not in vain. The God Being never sins, and is not in any way subject to evil; and so it is that the God Selves of your Loved Ones are even now working from the Inner Planes just as surely as any other, and in due season you will meet them as they are in Reality. Rejoice. This is true of all.

Question — If we are immortal now, what is the procedure so as not to have to go through death?

Uranda's Answer — Human beings are mortal, and any teacher that tries to delude human beings into thinking that they are really immortal now, is either ignorant or a willful deceiver. The God Self in each and every human being is Immortal, and no God Being ever dies; even though the human form becomes subject to death. The only way whereby the human form can Ascend, and so not be subject to death, is to Love his Lord within in a true and steadfast Response which causes him to Ascend during the life span of the human form—for that which dies does not Ascend. A fear of death will prevent such a Response. In other words, you are not to try to avoid death—you are to respond in Love to your Lord so that he may lift you up into Himself, and to the degree that you are absorbed into him, you will be a partaker with Him in His natural Immortality. Such Ascension takes place to a degree with every Earnest One, even though the remaining body is subject to death. A complete Ascension is not to be anticipated until after the world itself has undergone the resurrection into the New Age state.

Question — If we cannot look back on our past incarnations, how do you know that you functioned in Lemuria as Uranda?

Uranda's Answer — I have not, in any of my writings, indicated that it is impossible for one to know of one's past incarnations. However, I have pointed out that the vast majority of those who think that they are getting such information are being deluded. Those who try to find out about their past incarnations are always subject to delusions if they are at all successful in their attempts. Likewise, those who attempt to tell others of past incarnations through touching vibrations, and all the usual methods, are false; whether they realize it or not. When the outer-self has been lifted up into Oneness with the Inner Self, the Eternal Knowledge of the Inner Self is released out through the responsive One to the degree that such knowledge is truly needed—and such knowledge is never available to satisfy curiosity. The Inner Self, or Lord, has complete awareness of His own Eternal History, including all of His incarnations—and the Lord never goes to sleep nor any of the other supposed ways in which He is supposed to forget—therefore, to the degree that the outer-self is One With his Lord, the knowledge of the Lord is released through the outer consciousness to the degree of the need.

Insofar as these facts relate to me, I have nothing to say but this: If my Words reveal to you the Truth that is already within yourself, and you feel the Fire of the Christ Love drawing you into that Perfect State to which you were ordained, then may you well have confidence in them. If any cannot believe me for my work's sake, or for the sake of Him Who sent me, then surely there is nothing in me to cause him to believe in me.

Question — I would like to ask you why you don't use the Name Jesus Christ in conjunction with the Names, the Lord of the Sacred Seven, and the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings. It seems to me that your words would have more weight if you said, ‘Jesus Christ, Lord of the Sacred Seven.’ To me He means everything. To me Jesus Christ is very real. I love your lessons, but can't understand why the Name Jesus Christ is omitted. Please explain to me your reason for omitting His Name.

Uranda's Answer — To this I would reply: Blessed Sister, I can well understand how you feel in the matter—for our Great Master does not mean any more to you that He does to me. For all who wish to speak of Him as Jesus Christ, it is perfectly alright, and when you become more acquainted with my writings you will find that I have repeatedly mentioned the fact that the world knew the Lord of the Sacred Seven as Jesus. However, that was the Name by which He manifested in the earth for only thirty-three years, while I have known Him since the beginning of Creation by His Holy Name, LORD of the Sacred Seven. It is a matter of choice. The world uses the Name Jesus Christ without any true understanding of what it means—and so many take that name in vain; using it profanely, even as the world crucified Him. The world does not know Him by the Name, LORD of the Sacred Seven, and that Holy Name is not bandied on the lips of those who curse God and man. To me it means far more than the One the world saw—and those who are beginning to catch the Vision of Reality have, also, come to have a Holy Joy in the Name, LORD of the Sacred Seven, or LORD of Lords and KING of Kings—a Title by which I often speak of Him. Therefore, you see, I do not omit His Name, but, rather, am I helping many to become aware, not only of His Name, but of Him in His Reality. I love the Name by which He was known in the earth, and should you find that Name more pleasing to you, I Rejoice—and trust that the Names by which I speak and write of Him will now mean more to you.

Question — Why did Jesus utter these words on the cross, “My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” Did God really forsake Him at that time? Can God forsake any of us?

Uranda's Answer — To these questions I would answer: You will note that St. John, who was the only disciple who was present at the time Jesus became unconscious on the cross, does not make any mention of such as utterance; but John does say that Jesus said, “It is finished.” Jesus uttered His last words on the cross in Lemurian, or the Motherland tongue, while those present, besides John, understood only the Aramaic and Hebrew. Matthew gives the original as “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani” and it is only natural that those who did not understand Lemurian, thought He was quoting the first verse of the 22^nd Psalm. A nearly exact translation of Jesus’ Words, translating from the Lemurian, would be, “Relaxing into God, the darkness of the outer world covers the face of my Life.” These words John summed up as, “It is finished,” which is quite correct. It is evident that if Matthew had been certain of the meaning of Jesus’ last Words on the cross, he would not have felt it was necessary to give the original, as well as his own translation. Jesus did not say that God had forsaken Him, and, in Truth, God never forsakes anyone. Those who turn from God are the ones who forsake God.

Martin Cecil   August 7, 1954

Do you think that Uranda's dedication to the Purposes of our KING

are any less now than they were when he had a form on earth?

How then, is the fulfilment of that purpose to be known?

Through the forms which we provide for the manifestation of the same Spirit, the same Being,

in the accomplishment of God's Purposes to on earth.

As we come to this evening hour of August 7th, Saturday, 1954, in the Chapel on Sunrise Ranch, I would that it might have been under different circumstances. It is always good to greet friends, and so it is that I would greet you in the Spirit of Friendship this evening. But the circumstances in which we gather are certainly not such as I would have chosen.

Tonight I thought that we might undertake, not so much a Service in the usual sense, but a consideration of those things which are close to our hearts. There are perhaps those here who have not had the opportunity of sharing in what we might call our Family Spirit hitherto, but I know that they will bear with us with understanding, as we bring to focus in consideration some of those things which are so close to our hearts. My heart is full, and I know yours is, too. These are personal things. I might say almost family affairs. But, you know, these personal things, which are so personal to us, should be in the same way personal to every human being on the face of the earth; and if they were, we would not have been in the position, nor under the necessity, of facing the issue of this tragedy with which we have been faced.

We need to remember that tragedy is never God's Will. There are those who are inclined to take the attitude that because human beings do not understand the ways of God very well, He works mysteriously, His wonders to perform, and imposes tragedy in order to bring forth His wonders. But that is never God's Way, the imposition of tragedy. If there is tragedy, it is evidence of a failure somewhere on the part of a human being.

When we recall the tragic outworking in relationship to our Master's life, some have been inclined to look upon that as being God's Will. What sort of a God would that be? Tragedy is never God's Will! Tragedy comes by reason of that which human beings do, or fail to do, in relationship to God's Will. The tragedy which appeared in our Master's life was imposed upon Him by human beings, so obviously. It was not necessary from the standpoint of God, but human beings made it necessary by imposing it. This tragedy which is uppermost in our minds and hearts this evening is, equally, not something which God imposed. It is not an evidence of God's Will. It is an evidence of the failure of man to let God's Will be done. Every tragedy is such evidence. But, seeing that these things are so, it is necessary that we face the fact of them.

I think, probably, you experienced a certain rebelliousness in your minds and hearts in relationship to the situation, an unwillingness to accept it. And that is understandable. But, when we are faced with a fact, we need to face it like men and women because, even though it is not something that has been imposed by God upon man, seeing that it has become a fact, it can be used by God, if human beings are willing to let it be so, as a means of bringing forth wonderful blessings. We know something of the Blessings that were brought forth by reason of that which man imposed upon our Master, and human beings have scarcely touched the Blessings that were made available through that tragedy. Again, the tragedy occurred because human beings made it occur. It was not God's Will anymore than this is God's Will. But, seeing that it is the fact, then God can use it to advantage.

We need to face it as a fact. There is, naturally, sadness, grief; but grief is all too often an evidence of something self-centered, carrying a spirit of self-pity, and we want none of that. It is of no value to us or to anyone. There is a natural sadness when we lose our friends, our loved ones, or seem to lose them, but let us not indulge in self-pity. Let us not rebel against the fact. It does no good. Let us not resent it. And let us not assume that because human beings, by reason of the fact that they have not yet learned how to let God's Will be done, produce such tragedies, that it need remain a tragedy, insofar as we are concerned. It need not remain a tragedy, because there is that which can be accomplished by reason of the circumstances as they are. There are those things which have already been accomplished by reason of the circumstances as they are.

“And your sorrow shall be turned to joy.” Do you recollect those words which our Master spoke almost twenty centuries ago? We can let it be so today. It is a natural and a proper cycle of outworking in which we may share, if we will, if we choose to play our part and let it be so. If we recognize that this particular situation with which we are faced is not an evidence of the working of God's Will, that it is an evidence of human failure, let us not enter into any attitude of self-judgment or self-condemnation. I am not emphasizing these facts with respect to tragedy in order to induce a sense of discouragement, or a sense of guilt, on your part or on the part of anyone. We merely need to recognize these things as being facts. Human beings, functioning out from under the Control of the Spirit of God in this world, produce patterns and situations which cause tragedy. It is futile to try to place the blame, try to find some specific point, some scapegoat to pin it to. All tragedy is the result of the state of human life, the expression of human life on earth, out from under the control of the Spirit of God. We would perhaps, have to go way, way back if we were to find the starting point for such things, but there is responsibility in that regard in every generation. So, we cannot blame anyone particularly. We just need to face up to, and recognize the facts as they are, that we may begin to be in position to let the Blessing appear.

So often human beings take that attitude which I mentioned a little while back, that somehow or other God works in such mysterious, hidden ways that human beings simply cannot understand. It is perfectly true that, on the basis of human function, as it has been on earth, human beings have not understood, but it is no credit to them that they stay in that condition. It certainly is not God's Will that human beings should not understand. You remember that the first creative act in the Beginning found focus in the Word of the Lord, “Let there be Light,” And there was Light! The Light shines in the darkness of human minds and hearts, and the darkness does not comprehend it, but that is not God's fault. That is the failure of human beings. God intended that human beings should see and understand, that the mystery of God, and all other mysteries, should be finished. So, while we may recognize, to start with, that we are in a state of darkness, and there may be a tendency to reiterate the question, “Why? Why? Why?” God is willing to show us why if we are willing to understand and comprehend the answer to the question. But we cannot understand and comprehend, we cannot perceive, if our hearts are filled with turmoil, with grief, with rebelliousness, or resentment or self-pity, or anything else in the nature of an ill spirit, an ill attitude. Heart must be still, and mind tranquil, before the Light can shine and understanding come, because there always is an answer, there always is a reason.

How often have you heard Uranda say that there is no such thing as an accident? There is always a reason. There are reasons for this particular accident. Certain investigations have been going on in relationship to it in order to determine what mechanical failure was involved. I was speaking to the Commander of the Naval Air Station in the Oakland Airport and he had an idea with respect to the cause, although it was, insofar as he was concerned, just a guess. But apparently, the conditions were just right for icing of the carburetor and that may have been a contributing factor to this particular accident. We can see such causes, such reasons. They can be found. But back of them all is the failure of human beings to be what they ought to be, to be what God created them to be. Nevertheless, for all things there is a cause, and in view of the fact that human beings are the way they are it seems that before they will begin to move in the direction in which they should go, under the influence of the Spirit of God, they must be compelled to do so.

We find ourselves faced with a certain compulsion. I found myself faced, particularly, with a very vivid compulsion. When Uranda was here with us in person he carried the primary responsibility in relationship to this Ministry, the development of it, the progress of it, the expansion of it. I shared with him those responsibilities. And in that pattern you know well enough that he had more than he could possibly do. Those of you who have had some association with that part of the pattern in which I serve, know that I have more, or had more, than I could possibly do. Now Uranda is no longer here in person. If there was more than two people could possibly do, how much more it is than one person do! But, of course, that is not entirely the point, because you share this Ministry, and it is not me alone. Uranda could not do it alone. He and I could not do it alone. I certainly cannot do it alone. But we are in position to do it together.

Over and over Uranda has emphasized that point, that it requires all of us together. It requires that we face up to our responsibilities, receive them, individually, personally, and discharge them in the Current of the Spirit. Perhaps I am in a position, compelled or forced into that position, of carrying primary responsibility. But it should be obvious that if Uranda could not carry it, and the two of us could not carry it alone, under these circumstances, now, l certainly cannot carry it without you, without all of us together, moving, living, expressing in the Current of the Spirit of God in the accomplishment of the Purposes of God on earth, and “the fulfilment,” as it is put in the Bible, “of the Scriptures.”

We have a job which we share, you and I together. We all depended a very great deal upon Uranda as a Leader, as a friend. In your experience with him, during the course of the time that you have known him, during the time that you have found him to be your friend and have accepted the reality of his Leadership, did you ever experience a time when he let you down? I do not think any one of you could rightly say you had. He never let you down. Do you think that in the situation in which we now find ourselves he is going to let us down? I don't. And if you think about it, I believe you will agree with me upon the point. He is not going to let you down. And God is trustworthy. We can trust God. We have proven that we could trust Uranda, some of us over long, long periods of time; many, many years. We came to know him for what he is, not because somebody said something to us, or explained something to us, or told us something, but because we ourselves began to know from within ourselves, because we ourselves began to experience the working of the Spirit, which he revealed and exemplified, in our own lives.

This evening I am speaking particularly concerning Uranda. We know that he was not alone in the outworking of this tragedy, but all of them—Uranda, Kathy, Al, Bill and Sharon—shared in that dedication which Uranda brought to focus and exemplified. They shared in the same Spirit, even the children, and I do not, when I speak of Uranda, separate, in my own mind, those who were with him at the time of the accident, so-called. They shared in the Ministry, they shared in that which has thus far tended to seem simply to be a tragedy, but is it going to remain that way? It need not do so, if we recognize that which devolves upon us in our several fields of individual responsibility. Are we going to let ourselves be compelled to do that which needs to be done? Obviously, that which needs to be done has not yet been done. If it had, there would be, or have been, no tragedy. It has not yet been done. Are we going to be compelled into the position whereby we may share in the doing of it?

You know, after that tragic outworking in our Master's Life, His disciples found themselves in a situation where they were compelled to something, under great pressure. We have spoken of it many times in our previous considerations, that it was not necessary that they should have been in the position of having to be compelled to something. I do not believe it should have been necessary for us. But, that is the way it seems to have proven to be. It is always easier to take the Way which God first provides, but if, by reason of human failure, wherever it may be, there is not that vibrancy of response to the Spirit of God which permits the individual to play his part, and that fullness of adequacy which is necessary, then, seemingly, the requirement of compulsion arises, not because God wants it that way, but because human beings insist upon having it that way. And then, when it occurs, human beings do not like it.

Did you ever remember hearing Uranda say, “Well, if you don't like it, you had better learn to like it”? If there is something here that we do not like, it would seem essential that we learn to like it, because it makes possible the fulfilment of the purposes for which Uranda came into the world. Isn’t that now what we want? That was his dedication, absolute dedication. You know it. You have seen it in action, some of you for many, many years. An absolute dedication to this one thing, the fulfilment of the Purposes of God on earth that the life of our LORD and KING might not have been in vain. Human beings have made it to be in vain thus far, but we would not share in prolonging such a pattern. We  would, rather, share in letting the fulfilment come, even though we find ourselves in the position of being compelled into it.

Just a few short days ago, these ones whom we loved so much were in position to work with us here on earth. They had, each one, a physical instrument for that purpose, just as we now have, and we rejoiced in their presence with us, perhaps at times taking some of that which was made available to us too much for granted. But, while we loved that which they made manifest on earth, that which we could see, that which we could touch and handle, that which was present with us, yet what was it that made the outer form meaningful? The Spirit within the form, the True Being manifesting through the form! The human body without the Spirit becomes meaningless. So, the human body, the physical body, the physical form, has meaning only to the degree that it is a means whereby the Spirit of God may be made manifest on earth, and the true Reality of individual Being revealed. And it was because of that revelation of Being that we were willing that our lives should be given into the Service of the Lord, under Uranda's leadership. It was a something to see, something made manifest by reason of the physical form, but that which gave meaning to the revelation of the Spirit of dedication was the True Being manifesting in the form. And do you think that that Being is any less a reality now than it ever was, just because the form is no longer there?

These loved ones have no form through which to manifest on earth, in an individual sense, any more. Do you think that Uranda's dedication to the Purposes of our KING are any less now than they were when he had a form on earth? How then, is the fulfilment of that purpose to be known? Through the forms, simply, which we provide for the manifestation of the same Spirit, the same Being, in the accomplishment of God's Purposes to on earth. We have begun to know and understand something of those Purposes, but human beings are so inclined to look at them as though they were afar off. Oh, yes, as long as Uranda was here, “Well, he'll do it. He'll carry us through. He's the leader. We’ll just follow along.” Do you think it could ever be done on that basis? Never! That has been emphasized over and over, because it requires a body of many members, a body dedicated as his individual body was dedicated, even as the body of Jesus was dedicated, just the same way. But it must be a body of many members, equally dedicated, equally inspired by the same Spirit, equally under the Control of the same Spirit, so that the works of God can begin to be done on earth.

What is it that reveals belief on Jesus Christ? “The works that I do shall ye do also, and greater works than these shall ye do, because I go unto my Father.” Human beings have professed to believe on Jesus Christ, century after century, but where are the works of God made manifest on earth? No. It can be done in God's Way, and in God's Way only, and that requires the instrument, the body, the means by which the Spirit of God's Love and the Spirit of God's Truth can be revealed and made manifest on earth in the vibrancy of the Spirit of His Life. That is God's Way, and no other way will work. Human beings have had plenty of time to prove it, and there isn’t very much more time.

So it is that we can begin to let our hearts and minds be stilled to the point where the possibilities, the potentialities, with respect to this situation as we find it, begin to come to focus so that we can see better, so that there may not only be Light—there always has been Light—but that we may see in the Light. I do not think that Uranda, Kathy, Al, and the children—or those whom we only knew as yet as children—are any less with us in this moment, in this hour, than they ever were. And there is that current of compulsion, which can, if we will let it, permit the fulfilment of that to which their lives were dedicated while they were with us in person, and are still dedicated while they are only with us in Spirit. Need it be a tragedy? I do not think so. If it causes the fulfilment of the Purpose to which our lives are dedicated, that is no tragedy, is it? That is what we are here for! We have the opportunity of sharing it, not only those who are here present within the sound of my voice, but Responding Ones of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people.

God is so good to us, and when we begin to share in a true Spirit of dedication, there are no tragedies to us, because all things are caused to work together to perfection for those who love and serve the LORD, who are dedicated to Him. This is our opportunity, the opportunity of all who share with us in this Ministry today, and all who shall share with us in the days to come, that the Kingdom, the Control, the Design, of our LORD and KING, may be allowed to come on earth because human beings are willing to let it be so and have ceased to follow out their own fancies and ideas, but have yielded to the Spirit of the Living God, and are under the compulsion, under the control, of the Spirit of God—our opportunity, our privilege, that the lives of those who, until so recently, were being lived with us here on earth in outer form, may not be rendered meaningless, but may bring forth the fruit of the Kingdom of God on earth because we let it be so, that the Kingdom of our KING may come, that His Will may be done in earth as it is in Heaven, because we have come to realize that His is the Kingdom—not just out there somewhere, but in us and through us in the expression of life. And His is the Power—the Power by which His works are accomplished on earth as the means, the machinery, the instrument, takes form and lets it be so. And His is the Glory—the Glory of the revelation of the Spirit of Love, the Spirit of Truth, and the Spirit of Life on earth, the Glory of the LORD which should fill the temple and shine round about; for “His is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory, now and forever.” Aum-en.

Peace be unto you as you yield to the Spirit of God, ever present, that we may let that which I seems to be tragedy, evidence of failure, become a revelation of Victory, to the Glory of God and to the Blessing of all who will receive. God Bless you, each and every one.
