Basic Principles in the Pattern of God Being
from Moses and Jethro
Uranda May 6, 1953 Class
Perhaps we might give a moment to some of the basic principles at work in the pattern of God Being, in order to clarify the understanding with respect to the things we have to learn. The pattern of Divine action is always revealed on the basis of the principles at work in the invisible Body of God in relationship to focalization. Man has suffered these thousands of years of misery, sorrow and death, because of his refusal to accept the reality of focalization. The Principles of Focalization should be clearly established in consciousness, and it is only as you function in harmony with the Principles of Focalization that you can possibly achieve that to which you are called, accomplish that for which you came into the world.
Every God Being has within himself or herself the primary factors that are present in all other God Beings. While basically speaking all primary factors are present in all God Beings, we see that with respect to any God Being some primary factor must be dominantly supplied on the basis of focalization in order to give meaning to that factor in other people, to emphasize it and let it be activated. You cannot activate without two or more people. There has to be a positive and a negative pole. The individual who is isolated has no meaning regardless of his potentialities; he has no immediate meaning, and it is only what he does in relationship to others that gives his life meaning. If you take the position that focalizations are not necessary, then you take the position that you refuse to be a focalization, and anyone who refuses to be a focalization denies the potentiality of his own Being. You cannot deny the Principle of Focalization in relationship to someone else and accept it for yourself.
Now we will consider the LORD of Lords for a moment. He has within Him, as the Apex of Deity insofar as we are concerned, all of the aspects of Being—Love, Truth, Life, everything; capacity, quality, comprehension, ability. But segregate Him from His position in the vibrational sense and while He would have some particularized potential that others might not have, He would at once become meaningless, because the meaning that the LORD of Lords has is the meaning that the other God Beings give him. He was selected for that place because of the particular factors involved in His own Being. His particular qualifications for the job—because all of those God Beings who were to be focalized in Him agreed and accepted, and because it was agreed and accepted from the actual manifestation of His potential—could not appear until the other God Beings gave it to Him. He did not have it of Himself. He had the qualities necessary to the doing of the job, yes; but if He was going to be a focalization, the meaning of that focalization was established by those who were focalized—not by Himself.
Now there are other focalizations in the Cosmic scheme of things—every person, everywhere, is supposed to be a focalization factor, in several respects, in fact. And every God Being is a focalization factor, or provides it. But once we begin to see that the Principle of Focalization must be accepted and, in principle at least, comprehended before we can understand the principles of right function, of letting the Father do the works, so that the human mind and heart are not constantly getting in the way and spoiling it.
We recognize that the LORD of Lords, whom we speak of as the Lord of Love, contains within His Being the factors of Truth and Life, and so-on. But the Central Core of all things is Love. The Central Core of the Spirit of God, the Force of Being—all things that are—in fact, is what we speak of as Divine Love. Then the individual who is going to provide the overall focalization must be the Focalization of Love. That means that the dominant factor in His Being, in the expression and function of Himself, must be Love. Everything else is present, yes, all of it; but the dominant factor is Love and His dominant function in relationship to all God Beings then, is on the basis of the Core of Being—Love.
Now that means that if we took all of these God Beings and segregated them somehow, separated them vibrationally speaking, the capacity they have in the presence of the reality of Love would be virtually meaningless. But once we have a Focalization Point and all of these God Beings let their Love be centered in the Point of Center, it is multiplied and increased and intensified at Center until there is a positive point in relationship to all God Beings, and the value and the meaning of every God Being is increased because of it. In other words, their love can begin to mean something. Without that focalization, their love would mean nothing. They would all have some love, they would all have a capacity of love, they would all have all the basic factors, but if some God Being tried to function without regard to that focalization, his basic factors would immediately become meaningless, of no value—he could not accomplish anything in a creative sense. The only way there can be true creative expression at any time, under any circumstance, is by reason of Focalization. Then we can take the same principle in relationship to Truth. There must be a Focalization of the Body of Love—which is Truth. That Point of Focalization must accept the overall or the dominant Point of Focalization, the LORD of Lords, and be His servant, be subject to Him, be completely responsive to Him. But someone has to have the responsibility of maintaining the dominant factor of Truth as such; not the dominant factor of Love—that is already taken care of. Now we are considering the dominant factor of Truth.
The Truth aspect that is present in individuals can have meaning and have expression as the individual God Beings—or human beings, inner or outer—accept the reality of focalization. If they reject the reality of focalization they reject their own capacity to function in Truth, and they will always, as twenty thousand years of history proves, go off on tangents, have false concepts, and spoil the pattern of their lives. The only way that Truth, in any human being, can mean anything is for that human being to function on the basis of the focalization. That includes the Point of Focalization itself, because whether it is the Point of Focalization or some other part in the Body of Truth, only by reason of focalization can the Truth in any God Being or any human being, have any meaning, any control.
Why did human beings lose dominion? God created man in the beginning to have dominion over the earth—not over Heaven. Man is supposed to have dominion over the earth and all the things that are therein. Man does not have that dominion. He has worked for thousands of years to try to produce a substitute control. Man is rather proud of himself in some respects, on that point, but all we have to do is look at the world pattern and see that it is not even a start; not a beginning. Why? Because human beings have refused to bring their capacities to function in Truth into the pattern of the Focalization of Truth.
Now if we recognize the Focalization of Love, for instance, does that mean that the Focalization of Love is the only one that can have any Love or know any Love? No. The fact of focalization makes it possible for everyone in the focalization to have more Love and to let that Love have some real meaning so that it can be a Creative Fire and accomplish that which it is supposed to. The focalization does not ever, under any circumstance, take anything away from those focalized, but adds to them because of the reality of the overall pattern that is focalized. It is not because the Point of Focalization has it all, but because once that Point of Focalization is established and accepted vibrationally, from the standpoint of the God Beings, it does not make any difference whether human beings accept it or not, it is not going to change the Point of Focalization. If God established it, man cannot change it no matter what he does. The thing for man to do then, is to accept what God has established, the Points of Focalization as well as the other factors involved.
So the very fact that we have a Focalization of the Core in the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, makes it possible for us to know the working of Love as we could not possibly know it if we tried, each one, to be the whole cheese—nothing to back each other up, nothing to really give each other support, provide control. Truth contains the control and the design factors. And until man accepts the Pattern of Focalization, a centering through Love, and the control and design factors through Truth, he cannot Live—because we have recognized that it is the union of Love and Truth that makes the reality of Life. Life appears where Love and Truth have union, individually, collectively, in the overall ? And so the union, the oneness, the coordination, however you want to put it, of the Focalizations of Love and Truth, must be a reality, so that the control factors are available in the vibrational sense.
Once they are available in the vibrational sense, man can share them. Man cannot produce them, he cannot change the Divine Pattern. He can refuse to accept it and go empty through his period of existence or he can accept it and share all of the things of Heaven—he can begin to let the Ordinances of Heaven be established in the earth. And until we begin to recognize that acceptance of the Focalization of Love makes it possible for you to use your capacity of Love to the full, and the manifestation of Love through you then begins to be what God intended it to be. And the acceptance of the Focalization of Truth allows the Truth to manifest through you according to your capacity and place of function, service, and it is that which gives us coordination, it is that which allows us to support each other—it is that which makes possible the manifestation of the immovable object through which the irresistible force is operating. You see, in reality—and that is the only place where there is an immovable object and an irresistible force—in reality the irresistible force and the immovable object are never at cross-purposes; they always work together, for the irresistible force works through the immovable object, the only one there is, and that immovable object is established upon the patterns of support, coordination, unification, symbolized by the triangle, and it is because of the Creative Triangle that man has a three-phased Pattern of Being.
The person who tries to be everything all by himself is revealing his own weakness and determining the fact that he is going to continue to be weak; for we can be strong only in relationship to each other, and if we are going to be in relationship to each other there must be a design, there must be an Organized Pattern in order for it to have any meaning, and the Organized Pattern, the design, is contained in Truth and the Truth of the Creative Triangle, the Truth of Focalization—all the factors that are involved. Once we begin to see that the Focalization of Love and the Focalization of Truth make possible the manifestation of the Focalization of Life, we begin to see the Creative Triangle in relationship to the three Points of Being and then, once we begin to recognize those Points of Focalization and function in relationship to them, we can begin to let our capacities be used the way they should. There begins to be a control pattern. We begin to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, the control pattern and the design that is at hand. The Ordinances of Heaven begin to be established and set in the earth in relationship to us, and because of the fact that all who are functioning in relationship to Truth are backing us up in our function, we begin to have meaning.
The Focalization at the Point of the Apex of the Triangle can have no meaning unless he is backed up by response. But all of this that is so focalized, if you are a part of it, is likewise focalized in you in the expression of your life, and you are not working alone and independently. You are a part of the Whole and that point which you bring to focus is the point backed up by the whole thing, complete, so that the expression of Truth through you, for instance, or Love, manifests in relationship to what you need to do with the Whole Force of God behind it, and the Whole Force of all the human beings on earth who share the pattern. But if you think you can become a focalization for the working of God’s Love and Truth without accepting the Focalizations of Love and Truth, you are wrong. This is the reason why there has been twenty thousand years of misery and suffering and sorrow. Man has not learned, not just to accept, but to eagerly welcome the Reality of Focalization so that he can begin to share in the creative works of God and be a Focalization in expression and manifestation of that which he shares according to his or her own proper Life Pattern. Once that is seen, you begin to know what it is you are supposed to conform with, conform to—the vibrational pattern is established in the Heavenly realms, and you cannot change it. If you do not like it, it is just too bad. It is not going to be changed to suit your whim or fancy. Millions of people have died trying to change it, but they have not succeeded. So the best thing to do is to accept it the way it is, the way God made it. There is plenty of evidence that it is so, plenty of Truth to support the fact that can be readily comprehended, and if you are going to let increased power manifest through you in any level of life, it must be because you are sharing the responsibilities and the functions of Focalization, and without them you cannot be what you ought to be.

Look To The Angel
from Spontaneous Creation #2
Martin Cecil September 30, 1973
A little while back I wrote a brief article that Grace typed up for me just the other day, and I thought I would share this with you this evening at the beginning of our service. It may be used perhaps as a small booklet or a leaflet, but it relates very much to what we were considering this morning. It is entitled Whence Are You? and starts with a quotation from the 8th Psalm, somewhat abbreviated.
“What is man…? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels…”
Personally I feel a closer kinship with the angels than I do with an ancestry reaching back into the primeval slime. How about you? Whatever the fact may seem to be with respect to human heredity, a potential which transcends the earthy condition is inherently sensed by anyone of integrity. From whence does this assurance come? It certainly is of much more immediate impact than speculation about an amoebic forebear! Would it be less scientific to listen to the voice of this intuition than to trust the laborious processes of human thought tracing the speculative contradictions of circumstantial evidence?
What is man? The sad consequence of senseless chance? The most complex organism and therefore the highest form of life mysteriously evolved out of more elementary states of living matter? Or could the fact of his presence on earth stem from a higher rather than a lower source? How about looking up for the answer instead of down?
What is up? Well, down in this context is toward ancestral yesterdays. It is toward what appear to be earthly derivations. Such a view purports to see a chain of events leading out of the vast chasm of the past and proceeding into the ever receding unknown of the future. The downward view is sustained by the endless acquisition of knowledge about the time-oriented phenomenal world.
The upward view, on the contrary, calls to remembrance the eternal nature of the present moment and the higher cause of what now is. That there is such a present cause is proclaimed by one's sense of transcendent potential: "I am now a person akin to the angels! I may not yet have realized all my potential but I inherently know that it is here to be realized."
So much attention is paid to the appearance of things, to pleasures and pains, to the experience of the past and the expectations of the future—in other words, to what is lower—that the transcendent angel vanishes from view. There ain't no such animal! is the skeptical view. But a person is finally dead inside himself when he has lost consciousness of his own potential of greatness—his sense of kinship with the angels. Is it any wonder that such an one hastens into the dust from whence his only feeling of affinity arises? What desolation! What betrayal of oneself!
And yet virtually all human experience constrains toward this violation of integrity. Science teaches it. Believe only what you can see and touch and measure. Here is the real world; here are the true values; look down and you will go up. How ridiculous!
But the angel is present, encompassing all that is of real value in human experience. Such true values cannot in fact be inherited from the past or acquired out of the world. They spring only from a higher source. When a person is the expression of the angel of himself he knows his value and gives value to his world. Because he lives out of what is higher than himself, he engenders transformation in what is lower. This is the creative art of living. Here is happiness. Look to the angel!
The apparent origins of my earthly self enslave me. If this is all that I can be, what hopelessness engulfs me. I am no more than the bauble of capricious chance. Look to the angel! Loud and clear I hear that silent invitation—an irresistible compulsion beyond the call of ancestry and worldly circumstance. Look to the angel!
Who is the angel? And where? Nowhere, insists blind prejudice. Now here, the upward view assures. The angel is now where I am. Therefore am I not the angel? rather than mere human flesh dedicated to this short-lived state of drear mortality.
Man is made a little lower than the angels, that the angels may walk on earth in human form. This angel in this human form. I am the angel! Let this living form proclaim the truth, no longer obedient in hopeless subjugation to decaying dust. I am the angel. I am from above. Whence are you?
Are you merely of the earth earthy? Or are you the angel alive on earth in a body of flesh? Shall the heredity of the flesh dictate your apparent worth or lack of it? Or is your real meaning inherent in the angel? Are you from above or are you from below?
If you insist that you are from below your destiny is death. Dust to dust! When you know that you are from above, then you are alive forevermore. Consciousness-endowed flesh bodies, called man, are made a little lower than the angels. Without the angel man is dust. The angel is the life of man. To deny the angel is death. To express the character of the angel is life. What you express you know—death from below; life from above. Whence are you?
When man is a living soul the angel is incarnate on earth in human form. The concern is to allow this transformation from a dying soul to a living soul to occur. The living soul was created by the Lord God; the dying soul is the result of human failure. How is the change to be wrought?
We have recognized that man was created in the beginning on a spontaneous basis. Man is a spontaneous creation. Because this is true, man can be recreated spontaneously. If man was not created spontaneously in the beginning it would be impossible for him to be recreated spontaneously now. This is why it is important that the fanciful concept of evolution should be seen for what it is. As long as the mind of man can keep human beings involved with this theory as though it were true it is impossible for the human being to experience spontaneous re-creation. The re-creation takes place by reason of a willingness on the part of man. In this regard it may be said that the original creation was easier than the re-creation is, because in the original there was no one to object; so the process worked out smoothly, as it does in all the creative cycles wherever they may appear in the whole cosmos. But now we have a conscientious objector on hand who does not wish to experience the re-creation. Human attitudes have been characterized by this unwillingness. This unwillingness is not merely consequent upon the more or less superficial patterns of self-centeredness that have been acquired by the individual during his sojourn thus far on earth. These superficial patterns relate to a person's experiences along the way right from the point of conception on. It is recognized that much of human nature springs from what was known in early childhood. However, all this is rather superficial.
Those who have been associated with this ministry for any time come to realize the necessity of not being governed by their feelings, so that they may begin to be governed by the spirit of God, by the irresistible force, by the Lord God who is the Creator, and in this case the Re-Creator. So something has been done in this regard. There has been an awareness of the necessity of not reacting, and so care has been taken. But here is the more or less superficial evident peak of the iceberg. There is far more underneath the surface of the water, and what is in the deeper depths relates to something that in a sense is further distant from the individual. It relates to what we might call race memory; it relates to states of consciousness that have been persisted in for millennia by human beings and have been built into this mass consciousness of which each individual partakes. Now all this has to be cleared if the re-creation to the state of man is to occur.
Now, it would be foolish to expect the human mind to do it. To start with, it doesn't know what is down in those depths, and even if it did know, it wouldn't know what to do about it. So it is not a matter of the intellect. In fact it is the human mind as such that has stood in the way—the conscious mind particularly—of allowing anything to happen. The re-creation must take place on the basis of human willingness. It's not something that can be imposed. This spontaneous re-creation comes because there are those who are willing that it should. However, if a person is all hung up with these deep fears and shame which are present subconsciously, so that these emerge to haunt him in his daily experience of living, then he remains caught in the unregenerate state, the state of self-centeredness, and there is no way by which the spontaneous re-creation may occur. Obviously, then, there is the need to develop an open willingness in attitude which is content to allow all the stuff to pass away, to relinquish all the fears and all the shame.
To engender that willingness there is the necessity to trust in God. Here we have the requirement of a complete letting go, something that in the human state there has been such a deep fear about that there has been an unwillingness that it should be so. Obviously, then, trust has to be engendered. That trust is not likely to be engendered merely in some invisible God somewhere in whom we are supposed to believe. This should be obvious enough, because there has been a very long time in human history when the opportunity was open for human beings to believe in God and consequently to trust Him. But God was always an invisible God, a hidden God, and for the most part association with God seemed necessarily to be through whatever type of priesthood might be available. But the whole human pattern of things was involved in subjugation to the self-centered state, including the priesthood.
No matter how good the intentions may have seemed to be, the behavior, the actions, of those concerned always derived from below rather than from above, because the controlling influence came from that direction. However, if adequate trust in God is to be generated there must be a means by which God can be known within the range of human awareness, so that He is no longer merely an invisible God. Now of course this relates to the fact of a true Priesthood, a Priesthood that is no longer subject to what is below, whose function in life, whose expression in all the ways of living, is not merely a result of what is contained in this mass consciousness of the human race. There must be those who have come clear of that before there could be the provision of the evidence of God on earth which would be capable of engendering trust in a general sense—not that everybody would be likely to trust.
So this necessity has been one of the divine problems, hasn't it?—how to get it established. We can see how much easier the original creation was than this can of worms, because human beings have established a pattern of contrariness insofar as God is concerned. They see the devil contending with God but they do not as a rule realize that they themselves are the devil in their own subjection to this distorted condition, so that their fear and their shame makes them unwilling to allow the spontaneous re-creation to occur. Always there has been the necessity of working out the essential starting point, and this has been done on a number of occasions in the past, but by reason of lack of response to the starting point provided it has heretofore always come to naught. Human unwillingness has prevailed. The most recently outstanding example of man's unwillingness related to the time when our Master was on earth in the form of Jesus, for here was a perfect starting point. What has been carried over in human experience from that starting point has all been based in the same patterns as before, contained in the mass consciousness of humanity. So apparently nothing came of it. However, it still remains the one supreme starting point, and it is out of this that may come what is needful to permit trust in God to be generated on earth in the hearts of men.
We find ourselves associated with something that relates to all this—the development of a mechanism which is not governed by the mass consciousness of man but is governed, rather, by the irresistible force of the spirit of God; for we recognize that if spontaneous re-creation is to occur it occurs because of God and not because of man. As long as human beings imagine that they somehow can transform themselves, can educate themselves sufficiently, can train themselves in some remarkable fashion to be what they ought to be, it is absolutely impossible for the spontaneous re-creation to occur. The human mind stands rigidly in the way. The absoluteness of the letting go that is required may begin to be appreciated. We have spoken about it before but I do not believe that most have realized what it was that permitted the re-creation to occur. It wasn't because the human mind was able to figure something out; it wasn't because the human mind could begin to see, as it thought, what the truth was; it was because the human mind came to the point of beginning to see how things work and therefore was willing to let go and stop trying to make it work.
Man was originally created spontaneously by God. Man, if he is to be recreated, must experience this spontaneously under the hand of God again. This is the only way it can be done. But how to persuade human beings to let go and let it happen—this has always been the problem, because the human mind has always thought that it knew which way to go and what to do next, and how to handle things and what technique to establish, all these things. And the world is full of such stuff, full of it from the conscious standpoint and far fuller of it from the subconscious standpoint. Obviously the human mind produced all this. How on earth could it be expected to get rid of it all? It actually has not in the least been interested in getting rid of it. The main interest has been in adding to the store, increasing knowledge, so that the human mind might be better able to grapple with the problems—which is exactly what is not required; it is just the reverse of what is required. The human mind grappling with problems has produced this state; the only way it can be changed is for the human mind to stop grappling with the problems and allow the creative power of God to bring forth man once again.
So we begin to see how it may happen: spontaneous re-creation, because there is a yielded body of human beings who are willing that it should happen. One obviously must be willing for oneself, that this may occur. This is very frightening to the human mind because immediately it begins to question, “Well how is it going to happen?” Why do you think it questions that way? So that it can find out whether it's going to agree or not; not only that but so that it can find out sufficiently so that it might dispense with the Lord God and get the job done itself. But of course this could never happen. It's a complete mystery to the human mind and no matter what it does it can never find out. In the original creation there was nobody on hand to interfere; there was nobody on hand trying to pry into the processes that were bringing this creation forth. When the creation was brought forth and finally came to the point of a consciousness of itself, it couldn't look back and comprehend what had happened. You as a person now can't look back to know what the experience was when you were one single cell in the external sense, nor can you tell what the experience was in your mother's womb, or even for a while after you were born. So all that was carried on without any help from your bright intellect. What a marvel was accomplished before your intellect was on the scene of things, before your conscious mind was present.
Obviously, then, the conscious mind as such is not necessary to the process of spontaneous re-creation—it is not necessary at all. The only reason it has to be taken into account is to provide the opportunity for it to cease interfering; and to bring the human mind to that point is a task indeed, because at every conceivable opportunity it wants to interfere. It thinks it knows. While it may be willing to admit that it doesn't know about something over there, it knows perfectly well what needs to be done here, it thinks!—but it doesn't. How to maneuver the human mind out of the way in such a manner that life may continue in the human form and the spontaneous re-creation may occur? Is your human mind capable of grappling with that problem, do you think? Of course not. It doesn't need to. This has always been the Lord's business and He has evidently been very ingenious in the matter, providing opportunities of various sorts, leading forward hopefully, until finally the subjection of man to the mass consciousness established such a rigid unwillingness that something else had to be undertaken. There were many of these opportunities that had to be relinquished. They couldn't work anymore. The rigidity of unwillingness was so thorough.
Now willingness is a matter of the heart, not a matter of figuring something out. Yielding is a matter of the heart, a willing heart. If the heart responds in willingness to the dawning realization that the Lord God is now here and that individually the angel is now here, the beginning of trust can emerge. Most of what human beings think of as trust in God is not. When people think they are trusting in God they are usually tempting God. “Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” What happens? A person decides to move along a certain course which he presumably feels would be a good thing to do. Using his mind he tries to determine the pitfalls and to avoid them. But what he has envisioned looks good, and so he persists. And probably somewhere along the way he finds opposition arising to such an extent that he feels that it is necessary to seek help, and maybe the help he seeks is from God. Possibly, if he is inclined to prayer, he may explain to God what he has been doing and how it was good and how he now needs help. So he tries to get God to support him in his self-devised course. That is tempting the Lord; that is a human being trying to get God to agree with human self-centeredness.
Sometimes people find that their prayers seem to be answered. Why? Presumably because there is some potential remaining in that person to experience spontaneous re-creation, so that if God said “No”, that would be a write-off, wouldn't it? It's rather fortunate that God is not inclined to make arbitrary decisions—I doubt if we would be sitting here tonight if He were so inclined—because human beings everywhere, whether they have realized it or not, have endeavored to get God to support them in their self-centeredness. Anyone who tries to use his life for his own purposes is doing this, because life is of God; it is the life of God. Most people usually say my life. Stealing, that is. So there are those who have found that God has delivered at times, answered their prayers, and they think of this as trust in God. If a person brings himself to a very low pass of some kind and he says, “Well now, what is necessary is to trust in God,” he is really saying, “Now I am going to tempt God to sustain me, to restore me into my former self-centeredness.” And that is done, if there is any potential in the individual, done repeatedly over the years so that we are still alive. If God said “No” and washed His hands of us at any point, well where would we be? Because of the need for those who will permit spontaneous generation to occur the way is held open for human beings as long as possible; but for this reason alone, not to assist anyone in some self-centered course. Of course if one persists in that way, then finally dust to dust! in any case. But to trust God without trying to make Him follow out the human desire or intention, to let it be His way.
When we say that the human mind doesn't know, doesn't it always seem to a person, to start with, “Well this is impossible”? Why? Because the human mind is being trusted and not God, and we demand that God should trust our human minds so that we are supported in what we do. Well if we do receive a little support in what we do self-centeredly it is simply to keep the door open for us so that we may change our ways, not so that we should persist in self-centeredness.
Look to the angel. Trust God.
We have some consciousness of the presence of the angel of ourselves, and therefore the source of spontaneous re-creation. This is present so far in spite of us, and it is by reason of the fact of the presence of the angel individually and the presence of the Lord God collectively that spontaneous re-creation may occur. It is because of this only that it may occur, not because of anything that the human mind may do of itself, except insofar as it may see the necessity of letting go. That's all that's required of it, so that what is needful may spontaneously occur. And who needs to know how that is going to happen? If the human mind did know how it was going to happen it would interfere for sure. Isn't it a wonderful thing that it doesn't know? It can't really interfere if there is a true letting go. It's not trying to figure out what it is that is happening; it's willing to let happen whatever happens and to participate in this recreative process just as easily, just as naturally, as the dust forming the flesh of the babe participated in that creative process. It didn't need to find out what was happening; it just cooperated. That's all that is required of those who share in permitting spontaneous re-creation to occur on earth. This must first occur in relationship to human beings, that they may become Man. There is a good deal of spontaneous re-creation to occur in everything that's around us, but if it is to occur there it occurs because it first occurs in human beings.
As there is a willingness to let it occur in us we may experience what the spontaneous re-creation is. And just as the babe at a certain point becomes conscious of itself, so does the recreated form of man at a certain point begin to become conscious of itself. That is a totally new experience insofar as this self-centered state of human beings is concerned. But it occurs with absolute inevitability when it is allowed to happen, because it is the irresistible force at work. When we are with it it happens in our own experience. To a certain extent it has been happening in your experience already. What has happened in your experience already has happened entirely without the assistance of your human mind. It didn't happen because you were so bright; it happened merely because there was some measure of willingness to yield. And it is on that basis and that alone that anything whatsoever occurs. We can see the utter futility of all this cerebration that's going on in the world of mankind. It leads absolutely nowhere. But we begin to find that we are moving somewhere; we have this sensing of the experience.
But the human mind can't look around and say, “Where am I going?” any more than the babe, beginning to become self-conscious, begins to look around and say, “What am I going to be when I am a man (or a woman)?” It doesn't care at that point, at all. “What am I now?” is its attitude, and that is what is required of us. What am I now, in this moment? What is my experience now of the moving of this spontaneous recreative cycle in my own experience? Let us let it happen and let us not judge what is happening in ourselves or what is happening in anyone else, but just be willing to let it happen.

The Central Current Of Cosmic Power
Uranda December 9, 1939
Beloved Ones
I would now touch briefly on the Cosmic significance of the year which is to begin so soon—a year of testing and proving your polarization, that it may be revealed in you whether you are polarized in Life, or in death. This does not mean that you are likely to die, physically—but, rather, it is to be determined whether you are polarized in that which is dead to Reality, or in that which is “alive for evermore” in Reality.
To the degree that you are truly Polarized in Life through your one-pointed response to Reality, you are a contact-point through which the Cosmic Power is working to draw the responding portion of the world-body into the Ascending Flame—that being born out of the world’s darkness it may become the New Earth. The days of the year shall surely reveal the degree to which you are Polarized in Life—and all those who are polarized in death shall surely take part in the increased activities of the unreal which lead to death. Those who function in the conviction of Life, with the attitude of Life, being unconcerned about death, are assured that the very nature of death—which is to die—must surely cause death itself to die in due season; and so it is that the promise of God for the New Earth shall be fulfilled, as given in Revelation 21:4 [And God shall wipe all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away]. In that day, which is the time of the New Age, the inhabitants of the earth, which shall then be the New Earth in the Edenic State, shall experience Birth and Ascension, rather than birth and death. I call you to the Functions of Life, in a Polarization in Life, that through your response to Reality you may more perfectly realize the significance of what it means to be Polarized in Life.
My Post-Thanksgiving Day Message has brought quite a range of reaction in the connecting lines of vibration, and some have written a response thereto already. The purpose of the Message was to stir you up, and to bring forth reactions that would allow me to clarify certain Truths for you, and, also, to permit an intensification of the Creative Cycles in the Third Sacred School between yourselves individually and the Central Focal Point of our manifest activity.
There is no condemnation to any of you because of the manner of your reaction—providing you let yourselves carry through into an expansion of Vision. With many of you the reaction was, as it should have been, in the nature of an increased realization that you should not take this Service for granted, and that you should have a more vivid appreciation of the special and Sacred Privilege that has been granted to you in being in the Third Sacred School, and of knowing the glorious truths therein revealed for the edification of all earnest Responding Ones. However, in quite a number of instances the vibration has been one that was inclined to question the rightness of such expression by me—and one Blessed Sister has written frankly concerning her reaction, and her letter affords me the privilege and opportunity of using her words as a channel of blessing to many. She has given expression to what quite a number of Earnest Ones have felt, namely, something of a feeling of disappointment in me that I should write as I did in the Message under consideration. Because of these reactions, and because I have the channel of the letter through which to work, it is possible for the Service through the Third Sacred School to increase greatly.
I am not looking for thanks, in the sense that so many have thought through reading my Message. I am not concerned with a sense of supposed satisfaction on a basis of personal thanks for something—I am pointing all of you to an expanded Vision of Cosmic Realities, and the limited vision judges me. Because I know the Cosmic Law, I am concerned with helping each one of you to experience the greatest possible Blessing—and I see so plainly how many Blessings you are needlessly missing—Blessings that are here for you if you will but receive them.
Some of you are beginning to realize the need for a true Focalization of Responsive Vibrations in the manifest function of the Third Sacred School—but it is necessary that all of you understand and realize this Cosmic Principle, and let it have a vital and vivid and constant action in and through each one of you, if you are to become truly polarized in Life. Each one of you, to the degree to which Divine Love is flowing through you, is a Generating Plant—but not a very large or powerful one. The force that you generate is, to a great extent, released without control so that it does not result in power. By yourself there is not a great deal that you can do.
One phase of the function of the Third Sacred School is to coordinate all of the responsive Generating Plants, so that the force generated by each one is released into a common current—and that Central Current, made up of the force of all the Harmonized Generators, comes under my direct control, so that I may use it as power to accomplish something worthwhile according to the Cosmic Plan. The force that you generate cannot be drawn into the Central Current and used as the Negative Phase of the Positive Cosmic Power unless you establish and maintain the channel by which your generated force may reach the Central Current.
When I direct the Earnest Ones to do those things which allow each one to easily do his own individual part in the Great Cosmic Work to which we are called, the majority say: Well, I don’t see why I should do that, but I will try to do it, just to please Uranda and keep on the mailing list. But the Spirit of Response that would permit the Greater Works to be easily accomplished is most conspicuous by its absence. Then some rebel, and question my right to give such instructions, and add that they do not see why they should respond to Uranda, anyway. Others take an attitude of condescending superiority, saying that such things are not for them, so they just set them aside, ignoring them as much as possible, and devote their attention to the things that are, to their way of thinking, more pleasing.
Praise the LORD, there are some who enter into the Spirit of my instruction in such matters, and do joyously that which they are instructed to do, with the result that the Cosmic Power Current is maintained in the Service—otherwise there would be no Service. Those who try to do what they think I want them to do, fearing that they will fail in some respect, make the whole thing a matter of struggle without adding any perceptible amount of force to the Central Current. It cannot be done by trying, or struggling. Those who think that they understand it intellectually, taking an attitude of, O yes, I understand that, but I want to get into the deeper things instead of wasting so much time—only stand in their own Way and clutter up the vibration without doing anything worthwhile. I have before told you about this in scores of different places and ways—but I bring it out again on the present vibration of response so that you may have an Expanded Vision of it.
The Positive Cosmic Power from the Inner Planes can function in the Negative Triune World—or the outer world which man knows—only to the degree that we generate the Negative Power and release it in a Central Current of controlled force that results in true power for the doing of the Greater Works. As long as the force released by the many small Generators is scattered, and is not focalized, it accomplishes very little, and it allows no release of the Positive Cosmic Power, without which that which is done is temporary, and of little real or lasting value.
One of my Primary Functions as the Central Focal Point of the Third Sacred School is to focalize the responsive Currents from the many Generators, directing the force into one Central Current in a manner which draws down from God out of Heaven the Positive Cosmic Power—and then as the two are blended into One Current the result is the Cosmic Power by which we are privileged to accomplish the Greater Works as rapidly as the world Response permits us to act.
Without increasing the number of those who are consciously harmonized in the Third Sacred School, it would be so very easy to release ten times as much power, and accomplish ten times as much as is now being done, without changing the outer activities of the conscious Emissaries enough to be even noticed by those who see with outer vision only. I point this out because if you should start trying to increase the current from your Generator, you will only fail and eliminate yourself. It is all a matter of response—according to your response, so is it established unto you. Your response must have an outer form if it is to mean anything in the outer world—and in this is the primary value of your letters insofar as you release them to us in the true Spirit of Response. It is not personal thanks that I am interested in—but I am interested in encouraging the individual responses which allow an increase in the Central Current.
You cannot take me, or this Service, for granted and do your part. We work in accordance with Cosmic Law, and according to the Cosmic Plan. I always have a reason for my every request and direction. Those who really respond are those who release Blessings to the world—and who themselves experience the greater Blessings. So it is that I have used the response of the Sister as a channel of great Blessing to as many as will receive.
Our Great Master said, “If ye Love Me, keep My commandments.” His commandments, or instructions, were all based on Cosmic Law and Principle, according to the Cosmic Plan. My Ministry opens the Eye of the Responding Ones so that they may see Him as He is, as they carry through on the Vibration—for He is the LORD of Lords Whom we Love and Serve. The blind intellectual concept of faith, with which so many in the world are satisfied, does not cause the Earnest One to Bring forth Fruit. As the Master Jesus was and is the Way, I am revealing that Way to you, that you may Walk therein.
According to your response, so is it established unto you
Enfolding you in the Fire of the Ascending Flame

The Transcendent Significance Of The Mailings
Martin Exeter August 26, 1986
Central Council Sessions
There is something far more significant here than has been seen as yet insofar as the mailings are concerned. It is not just a matter of the significance of the words and the spirit in which the words are spoken, and one’s ability to read the pages and to understand, to whatever degree, what it is that is being said. That is one aspect of significance. But there is another significance entirely which has tended to be overlooked—even though there have been those who have participated in the process, but without clearly understanding why they were doing it.
We used an analogy the other day of a magnet, and I think we could use it again to begin to comprehend exactly what it is that we are participating in here by reason of the mailing list. Everybody should be aware there must be some significance, because this is something that has permeated this ministry right from the word go—it’s always been there. And if there is a casual attitude towards it, obviously a person is quite ignorant as to what it is that is really taking place. We used the magnet as an analogy, but I would rather speak of an electromagnet in this regard.
There is a core of metallic substance which is magnetized by reason of the coils which are around that substance and the current which flows through the coils. Then the magnet is magnetized and the lines of force are present—and what needs to happen, in this analogy, may happen. The field is present, and if there is substance which will form on the field then that substance will form.
We have a complete picture then: there is the magnet, which is magnetized by reason of the coils through which the current is flowing; and there is then the field, and the field becomes visible because substance forms on the lines of force, which are themselves invisible. There is a visible aspect to the magnet; there is the core, there are the coils. There is an invisible aspect of the magnet, which is the magnetic field within the magnet, and the current which is flowing through the coils—that’s the invisible part of it. For it to work, there must be a visible part as well as an invisible part.
We are aware that our bodies and minds and hearts are the visible facility by which whatever is required may occur, and we are seeing it in the symbol of this magnet. The flow through the coils around the magnet relates to what is happening in the core. We ourselves are participating in this core. The mineral substance of the magnet is our own flesh bodies. Of course flesh bodies are not of much account unless there is some current moving through them—they must be alive, in other words. We see being alive as a lot more than merely the fact that the heart is beating and we’re still breathing—that could be the case if we were in a coma. It is the matter of the life flowing through the facilities of mind and heart, which are the coils, which magnetizes the physical form, which generates the magnetic field. There is a very specific process, very beautifully designed, which we can describe in this sort of terms.
The current that flows through the coils is, rightly, the pure current of the Spirit of Life, which is characterized by Love and Truth. We have a symbol of this which allows it to be brought to a very specific point, in the consciousness of all concerned, in what we describe as the mailings. Here the current is flowing through these mailings. There must have been at least one coil to start with for that to occur; and this induces it in other coils that come into the vicinity, until there begins to be a resonance together which opens the door for the flow of Life to be full and free. You can look at this from the viewpoint of attunements as well. We are looking at it from the standpoint of the mailings—the reason why the mailings have always been there. They have provided the current which induces the current; and the induced current in all the various coils that are available opens the door for the actual flow of the Life Force. This is what engenders the creative field of the magnet, because it first engenders a creative field in the magnet, and that then extends beyond the magnet. This is a very simplified portrayal through a fairly accurate symbol.
The mailings have provided this flow in which all could participate in a very focused way. There is something very specific about the current that was released in this fashion—and it gave the opportunity for those who were willing to participate in the flow of the current to begin to do so in a very focused way, so as to keep it moving through the coils.
There is the possibility certainly for this current to leave the coils. People splatter their Life Force all over the place. And one of the reasons for this current moving through the mailings is to bring it all back into the coil and not have it flowing here and there, achieving absolutely nothing. It only begins to achieve something when it’s in the coil. The mailings have provided the focus for the current which rightly should be moving in the moment through the coil, which is one’s own mind and heart. If it moves through the mind and heart it moves through the body, because they are not separate. So there is the magnet, there is the current moving through the coils, so that the whole body of magnet and coils put together is magnetized and then begins to be alive—because this current is the current of Life.
Because there are those who let this happen, who have a vision and awareness in this regard, and they wouldn’t break that current for anything, there begins to be a stable creative field—the lines of force upon which this substance which is capable of participating in the creative field will form. It doesn’t form, really, because of one’s own mind and heart which were so brilliant they were going to persuade this person or that person that they should participate in or back up the Emissary ministry. It never happens that way.
It happens because there is a factual current flowing, there is a factual magnet, there is a factual creative field. Then whatever substance belongs in that creative field will come into it. That’s the way it works. We all have a tendency to imagine that one’s personal ministry is so important that one has to be doing this, that and the other thing, otherwise the restoration would be impossible. Well that’s ridiculous. It doesn’t come by any of the things that are done merely in the external sense, no matter how praiseworthy they seem to be. It is done because there is a factual facility through which the current of the spirit is working, and the spirit gets the job done—but we participate, we offer ourselves to the way it works.
The central aspect of the way it works is by reason of the mailings, a seemingly mundane thing: they go out in the mail, they're printed on paper, lots of little squiggles, and all this. But this is the core by which anything that is to be creatively accomplished by reason of the existence of this body will happen. That provides the basis for the Life currents that are moving through ourselves in daily living. They, aligned with the current of the spirit that brought forth the mailings, will unify the whole process, and we have a unified state of affairs. I trust that in describing it in this way it may provide a larger understanding of why so much importance has been placed upon the mailings.
There are those from time to time who say, “Well I don’t need the mailings anymore. I understand all that needs to be understood now. I can let it happen, so take me off the mailing list.” That person is gone, they have removed themselves from the current of Life. But the door is always open, and there are those who do go on and off the mailing list. These are unstable characters, not much use for providing a stable core in which others might trust. If one does this on-and-off business, there is evidence of a lack of vision as to why the mailing list is there, for one thing, or as to why one should participate in it. Let them find out by moving with the current that moves by reason of being on the mailing list. Let it be consistent day in and day out, year in and year out. Then we have a current moving. Because there have been those, we have this much in effective operation now. But how much more there could have been—those are sad words, aren’t they, “what might have been”—if all concerned had been aware of their immense responsibility. But it was a casual thing: “Well I can be on or off the mailing list, it doesn't really make any difference; the mailing will still be coming out and I can get back on any time.” Well such a person is not participating in the creative process in any way that is effective at all.
I wanted to say something about this, because there has been a lack of vision, a lack of awareness on the part of so many who have been associated with the Emissary ministry over the years, as to why there was this provision. There is a purpose and a reason why our lives should be aligned with the current that is moving, so that there might be what is required to get the job done.
