We all find ourselves in a human nature world, and right from the start we are in a graveyard spin. It may take up to a hundred years to hit the ground, but still the crash seems to be inevitable. The first step is to let go; but that is only the first step. [Followed by] what was necessary to extend direction and control into our worlds. There must be the generation of the required substance so that it is available to fill our worlds. We ourselves, in the external sense, are in the world also. We certainly cannot fill our worlds unless there is plenty of substance present in our own experience. In fact our worlds are contained within our experience, aren't they? We may have the habit of thinking of our worlds as being out there somewhere, but at the same time we know very well, if we pause to consider the matter, that they are inside here; they are within the range of our consciousness, in other words.
If we had no consciousness we would have no world, even though it might be said to exist quite apart from our consciousness; but insofar as we are concerned we are only aware of that world by reason of our consciousness and the fact that we have consciousness. Our world is contained within that consciousness; and from our standpoint as individuals it is not out there, it is right where we are. What happens within our own consciousness obviously affects what is happening in the world which is contained in our consciousness. We cannot handle any world out there—if it is out there—we can only handle it because it is in here, contained in our own consciousness. If our own consciousness is filled with spiritual substance then our world begins to be immersed in that substance, and we are not imagining that we have somehow to pump it out there into some mythical world which we suppose exists out there. The only one we know exists is the one right where we are, in our own consciousness. Let's be concerned with this, letting our world be filled with spiritual substance, because this is what we generate within the scope of our own consciousness. If it fills our consciousness sufficiently it will at the same time fill and enfold our worlds which are contained in our consciousness, and the world is transformed in this way.
We have a habit established which makes us imagine a state of separation, where one may consider oneself to be here and everything else is there. Isn't that the way your consciousness has worked? How do you know it is there? It is in your consciousness and that is the only place where we can handle it even if it is there. So our concern is with the generation of substance by reason of our living, that direction and control may be given to the worlds in our consciousness. On this basis the worlds in our consciousness begin to change, as you have already discovered. Something has changed in our own consciousness and it is this that is the important thing. We stop being so all-fired concerned about what is happening with everybody else, because if we have everybody else out there, there is nothing we can do about it; but if everybody else is contained in our own consciousness then there is something we can do about it. We speak of spiritual expression in our living. We are aware of our living not as something external to ourselves but as something that is contained in our own consciousness.
We recognize the necessity of letting there be spiritual expression in this world for which we are responsible in our own consciousness. It becomes a tremendous task if we think of that great world out there. Regardless of whether it is out there or not, it certainly is present in your own consciousness; and we can handle what is present in our own consciousness. We need to be above it to handle it. If we are below it, we are pushed around by it; we jump by reason of what is happening in our own consciousness. We have some experience of spiritual expression already, a little anyway—that if this is your actual expression in living, it does have an effect. This is a radiant action occurring and it has effect upon what is contained in the world of your own consciousness. There are some who are delighted to begin to experience this spiritual expression as it comes to bear upon themselves—they respond, they are willing to move in closer. They are beginning to discover the newness of the world which is being made new by your spiritual expression. There are others who don't do that. They object perhaps; they begin to fight and struggle. We just continue to offer steadfast spiritual expression, allowing those who are present in our consciousness to make their own decisions. There are those, the vast majority as it has been heretofore, who halt between two opinions. Our concern is to become so expert in spiritual expression that there is an intensification of the substance in our consciousness and therefore in our world—to the point where it becomes so hot that everybody begins to feel it, even if they are halting between two opinions.
We are concerned with this matter of spiritual expression. We recognize that the real value is here. Our value individually is the extent of the substance that is present with us through which spiritual expression is in action, and it is that spiritual expression in action which is our value. Most are inclined to imagine that their value is a physical or material value. If one has particular expertise in any field in the external sense the person is inclined to pin his value on that. That may be a treasure on earth but it is not the treasure in heaven. The treasure in heaven is the spiritual expression which is the fact: the ability to handle what is present of one's world in one's own consciousness from a spiritual standpoint, developing spiritual expertise, or letting it come forth from where it already is. We don't have to develop it in the sense of the way that external expertise is developed. The expertise, spiritually speaking, is already present in the truth of oneself. All it needs to do is to emerge into expression. That emergence into expression brings with it the sense of value. One becomes aware of one's own value and one is not looking for value anymore. One is not trying to extract value from the circumstances or from one's expertise in the circumstances.
This may be seen also with respect to the matter of youth and age in the external sense. Young people are very often, and naturally should be, energetic physically speaking and capable of doing many things physically speaking that their elders may not be able to do anymore. If one's value is placed in what one can do externally one will lose value as one grows older, and this fundamentally is what has happened in society in general. There is a mandatory retirement age of sixty-five in some countries, and I think amongst our own emissary population this very firmly established outlook is maintained, both from the standpoint of those who have reached age sixty-five or over and from the standpoint of those who observe the ones who have reached this mandatory retirement age where they have no more value seemingly. Value is in spiritual expression, not in what you can do physically. What you can do physically may determine somewhat the nature of your spiritual expression, but young people in a general sense have less spiritual substance available for spiritual expression than older people. This is why it was indicated in the story about the changing of the water to wine, that the good wine was left to the end of the feast, because there is rightly far more substance after age sixty-five than before that age. But as everyone has the habit of placing value upon what one may do in a physical sense, it seems as though most of the value is in youth and it is all lost when you get older, which is absolute nonsense.
Most people tend to be spiritually lazy. Sometimes the endeavor to cover up spiritual laziness causes frenetic physical activity and the person does so much—but his physical activity is just a cover-up for his spiritual laziness. There has been a tendency amongst many who have been associated with this ministry, getting older, to take the attitude that they gave their good years to this ministry and they provided a lot and offered a lot over the years, and now is the time to … what? Retire? That is a cop-out. That is a cop-out! That is a revelation of spiritual laziness. Spiritual activity, where the real value is, can emerge much more fully as there is less capacity perhaps for physical activity. The physical activity has to some extent been covering up the fact that there was or was not spiritual activity, and when the physical activity gets out of the way we find out what the fact is.
We all start out young, you know. “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth,” so that you do not fool yourself into imagining that by physical activity you are somehow proving spiritual worth. I am not saying that spiritual worth may not be present when physical activity is present—it needs to be. But let us just stop fooling ourselves. If there is spiritual activity the nature of the physical activity will reveal the fact, in some measure at least; but let us be very sure that we do not persist with spiritual laziness, so that when we grow older we suddenly find out how worthless we are, and we excuse ourselves at that point by saying, “Well I did so much in the past.” That was fine, wonderful, if you did something, but what are you doing now? The only time we have is now. There is this necessity, regardless of age, of generating spiritual substance and of participating in spiritual expression, and in the handling of our worlds from the standpoint of spiritual expression, of knowing how to do it. What we are here to do requires spiritual expression.
Of course there is always a starting point with respect to these things, which should have occurred for us long ago: that of letting go. Then we found the basic level where we could trust. There is a level of substance back of the whole universe that connects the dimensional creation with the undimensional Creator. It is always there. We become acquainted with that but we don't stay there. If you stay there you become absolutely worthless—no reason for a human being to be there. The universe will get along very well without human beings at that level; they are not necessary at all. But there is something to be done in the intensification of the substance so that there may be a rising up in the experienced expression of spirit to the levels where human beings should be, and that experience does not come on the basis of laziness spiritually speaking, obviously. It is a very sad thing when people getting older feel that they must have some external activity to convince them of their continuing usefulness. We should all be sure that there has been sufficient development and generation of substance so that we may be useful spiritually speaking. That usefulness should be far more as a person gets older—it should constantly increase. It should increase because the angel comes forth in more intense expression and something is happening in consciousness—the world is being filled with the substance of life—transformation occurs.
Let us never write ourselves off, and let us never write other people off simply on the basis of the fact that they have spent a few more years on earth than we have. From my own personal standpoint, there are many things that I cannot do now that I used to do when I was younger, but I certainly do not take the attitude that because of that I am becoming more and more useless. This unfoldment of years has provided space for the increasing generation of substance through which the greater intensity of spiritual expression may emerge. Are you going to leave that in my hands alone? I rejoice in the substance that is being generated regardless of age, particularly by various ones, but how much there really could be if there had been less spiritual laziness on the part of those who are now growing older. I emphasize the point, because it is never too late! And I do see some evidences here and there of a resurgence of an awareness of real meaning. We all need to be on hand as long as we are needed to be on hand, and really on hand, spiritually speaking, with the substance and the ability to handle the creative action that is necessary. From my standpoint the older people have far more responsibility in this than the younger people. I am delighted if there are young people who are going to grow up fast spiritually speaking, so that they are increasingly capable of handling what needs to be handled; but rightly the wine of life gets better as the years go by. There is the greater expression of it, but not in the same way as it was in youth. It is not physical activity that makes anything valuable; it is spiritual activity, and age has no actual ability to suppress spiritual activity. Here are some things that a lot of people need to think about, all of us in fact, whatever our physical age may be.
Blame, criticism, all these sorts of human nature attitudes, cease to have any meaning whatsoever once there is a recognition that one is dealing with the world within one's own state of consciousness and one is dealing with it on the basis of the working of the Law. Radiation, response: it will all sort itself out on this basis. We don't need to blame anyone in our worlds for taking some particular attitude which we think is wrong. Just continue to allow the expression of spirit to move freely in the substance which is present in your consciousness. Of course you have to keep generating the substance so that the substance of enfoldment, the substance of protection, the substance of this creative action, is available there. Then there may be action as needed, and there will be reaction to that action. The more substance there is present, and the more intense that substance is in one's consciousness, the more reaction there will be. That reaction may be what we call response or it may be what we call opposition, and as we see the temperature being raised there is less and less room for anything to hold out. It is going to go one way or the other.
Here is the creative process, the restoration, the cleansing of human consciousness, our own in particular, that that capacity may be filled with a new state of consciousness—angelic consciousness, the true consciousness of man. As the creative process is allowed to work and sort everything out this occurs quite easily. The yoke is easy and the burden is light when we are standing where we belong, where we have assumed responsibility for the worlds that are present in our consciousness. We are going to handle these worlds from the standpoint of spiritual expression and our spiritual consciousness. We know, we understand, what is needful in the enfoldment of our worlds. We say primarily that is love, and we have some of that to offer if in the acceptance of the responsibility of angels we behave like angels.
Angels passionately love the Word of the Lord
They passionately fulfil the First Great Commandment. This is angelic function. This is the attitude of angels. The angel already loves the Lord passionately, and if we agree with that then we find ourselves associated with that angelic attitude and that angelic expression. We find ourselves at a new level of experience.
We have emerged out of the level where the transformation is occurring, namely in the world in our consciousness; and we stand above that world in the consciousness of the angel, enfolding that world, intensifying the substance that is present, so that the transformation may occur. And we know very well that in that transformation there will be a certain amount of suffering. Seeing that it is in our own consciousness, that relates to something that we experience, doesn't it? But we know what it is that is happening and we stand at a level where what is happening is actually below us, even though it is within the range of our experience. We wouldn't be much use in accomplishing anything if what we were to accomplish was outside the range of our experience. It is inside the range of our experience; therefore we can be useful there and can accomplish what needs to be accomplished. This process is a process of transformation by which what is responding is raised up and what is opposing is cast down, until all that can be raised up has been raised out of the level of the old world, the world where human beings suffer.
There is a new heaven and a new earth, the angelic world, the world of angelic heavenly substance which now has so permeated the old world that there isn't any old world left. The first heaven and the first earth are passed away. Then there is the experience of the reality of the new heaven and the new earth, for the former things have passed away and man is restored to the level where he belongs, which is not at the level of the transformation. The transforming process causes suffering if there is self-consciousness at that level. There is not supposed to be self-consciousness at that level. Human beings have insisted upon it. Now we are providing the facility by which the transformation may occur and whatever responds may be lifted up to the level in human form where it belongs. The former things are passed away. There was no more pain. There was no more death. There was no more sorrow or crying. Certainly quite impossible in this human nature world! But we are interested in letting that world pass away, that the world where man belongs may be present again and man in it, extending the creative blessing of whatever is necessary for the transformation which occurs in the world where he no longer is. What is at the level of transformation should not have self-consciousness—then there is no trouble. So we rise up and provide what is necessary for the worlds contained in our consciousness to rise up with us, and what will not rise up with us is left behind. Simple.
Once again we have had the opportunity of considering some things within the substance that is available to us here this evening, handling what has emerged of our worlds in the way that this needed to be handled. As we have willingly allowed it to occur in our own consciousness we have participated in the process by which transformation of the world occurs. We need to become very familiar with this so that we do not duck out but let it be a reality consistently in all our living, because our world is not going to go away from our consciousness. You may say it slips out when you go to sleep at night. I don't think it really does. It is still there. You have a hint that it is there sometimes, don't you? You get to dreaming. No, we have a constant responsibility here, and because we know something in this connection we have that responsibility. Woe unto those who try to shuck it off! So let us continue in the way, letting all things work together to perfection as the transformation occurs and all things are thereby made new.
David Barnes Salmon Arm, B.C. Canada March 19, 2023
To begin, I will read an excerpt from the book of Malachi, Chapter 3: “Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of Hosts… Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of Hosts…” This is one primary theme that I want to share, an acknowledgement of this promise: Return unto me and I will return unto you. “Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of Hosts… Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”
This service consideration relates to the invitation and the opportunity that is always present for everyone, to return to heaven and to the LORD of Heaven—not just an invitation for ourselves here gathered—presumably that's already been accepted—but the invitation and the opportunity to open the gateways and the doorways for the Great Return of response, return of the substance of the earth and the sacred systems of the earth, and the world, to the LORD of Heaven. “Return unto me, and I will return unto you.” That has been the promise, and fulfillment has always been at hand. In relationship to that Great Return, Uranda said this in a Class session in 1953:
“We have come to the next step. This is the period when Mother God must come into her own, or man is lost. If he continues to cling to the old concepts with respect to God he is going to fail. How are you going to have the Child without the Mother? Jehovah is Mother God, and the manifestation of the [Child or the] Body must be in relationship to the Mother.” We have Father God in the invisible realms of heaven now, and Mother God in the visible, and we have not yet let Mother God have a body. “And until we let Mother God have a body, Father God, in the invisible cycle, cannot have any real meaning on earth to bring forth the child in relationship to individual living, or living in the kingdoms of this world, the mineral kingdom, the vegetable kingdom, the animal kingdom, etc.” And so, “This is the period when Mother God must come into her own, or man is lost.”
This is the Great Return that is so very important—“Return unto me, and I will return unto you” saith the LORD of Hosts. As sons and daughters of God, in representation of the Father and the Mother, we open the door for the return of the Mother, and the ongoing revelation of the patterns of life in the Family of Divine Man restored, and in all the kingdoms of creation, for the return of the Body and the substance of Mother Earth to the Father—all of which essences, Father, Mother and Child are present within us as individuals and as a body of people.
This heavenly world that prophecy says is to come, as we fulfil our part of the promise, has been in the process of coming for 2000 years in a very specific way. Being within the Heavenly Borderland above the fallen world that I am in but not of, [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2023/03/the-work-is-not-finishedborderland.html] insofar as I am concerned the world to come is here. Heaven is here in a very real sense; the Garden is at hand, it is here; and the Lord has come to His Temple, in fulfillment of the promise through the Prophet Malachi, “Return unto me, and I will return unto you.”
All of us should be able to easily acknowledge that heaven is here—acknowledge that since that amazing period of time in the mid-1940s, in a very real way the process of the reunion of heaven and earth has been established in this world; and all of us are actually living and moving in an experience of heaven on earth now; not in its completeness, but this has happened, and it is happening. The seemingly impossible has been accomplished—the birth and the emergence in substance and in form of the Christ Body, the Spiritual Body of the Son of God. This has not happened in a body of people, however small a body, since before the fall of man. There has never been a Body of God sustained in heaven on earth since before the fall. The birth of the Spiritual Body, brought forth by Uranda and those who worked with him in its beginning formation, was accomplished, and we are a part of that beginning formation, which occurred not that long ago—1946. And this is a massive project, the restoration we call it.
Recently I did some research based on a transcript titled “Cosmic Ages”, released by Uranda in 1939. According to his dates it was about 28,183 years ago [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2015/06/from-cosmic-uranda-2-1939-cosmic-age-or.html] that the inception point of the rebellion occurred, resulting in the fall of man—near the beginning of the 12th Grand Age, a Fire Cycle of 25,856 years duration, coming at the completion of a 310,272 year Solar Age. During the first 7000 years of that final 25,856 year Grand Fire Age, the Priesthood leadership worked from within the focal government established in the Seven Sacred Cities to bring man back into harmony with the government of heaven. 28,183 years minus 7000 years brings us to 21,183 years ago. At that point 21,183 years ago, the rebellion by fallen man, and the fall itself, was so complete that the Priesthood Government began to withdraw the Sacred Cities of the Motherland; and gradually over the next 8000 years all of the Seven Sacred Cities were removed from the earth, and the sinking of Lemuria resulted—the Motherland sank approximately 13,183 years ago. 21,183 years minus 8000 years brings us to 13,183 years ago. Atlantis sank about 1000 years later, approximately 12,000 years ago. Uranda writes: “It was during that time [8000 years] that the number of those who rebelled against God increased, and the number of those who obeyed God decreased, until at the time of the submersion it was necessary to remove all the remaining Sacred Cities from the face of the earth and leave man to his own destruction. When the God Beings functioning through the last three remaining Cities—the cosmic vibrations which had been functioning through the perfect consciousness therein established—were forced to begin functioning through the twisted consciousness of fallen man, the earth was thereby thrown out of polarity, and the subterranean supports of the Motherland, or of Lemuria, were caused to crumble and Lemuria settled beneath the surface of the waters which are now called the Great Pacific.” And so, says Uranda, “It has been 28,183 years since the fall of man”—the beginning of the rebellion and the fallen state.
Then, about 400 years after the beginning of a new 310,000 Solar Air Age in 388 BC, and the beginning of a new 25,800 year Grand Water Age, and the beginning of a new 2154 year Ordinary Water Age, the LORD of Lords incarnated as the the man Jesus—approximately 2023 years ago. The Master came into incarnation to initiate this particular phase of the restoration that we are in now. He came in order to allow the conception of this Christ Body formation that is now present—this same Body that Uranda came to bring into manifestation under the command of the LORD of Lords, and by reason of the Commission given to Uranda, in this function as the Lord of Truth for this Outer Triune World. As we can see from this brief outline, the restoration of mankind is a massive project.
This Christ Body continues to grow and develop, and as long as we speak the Word and provide the substance, and hold strong the vibrational hedge related to this ongoing formation, we have the experience of being in Heaven, being in the Garden, being in this Spiritual Body, in the world of the fallen condition but not of it. This is not just a theory—it has happened. It is happening, and the heavenly world on earth is here now for anyone who does what is required in their own life to experience that as being so.
This realization brings a tremendous sense of humility before the greatness of what is yet to be done under the hand of the LORD of this creative cycle of restoration. Having returned to Heaven, to the Garden, it is natural to acknowledge and recognize the One Who is LORD and KING. I am focused in One who is Supreme, Our LORD; but also focused in many who serve closely with Him, His primary Archangelic representatives, and His angels on earth, such as you and me in this Spiritual Body now taking form, which has many aspects to it. But our work is centralized in the return of the earth, the form for the incarnation of the spirit of Mother God, to Heaven and to the LORD, so that Heaven and Earth are allowed to be One again.
The Spirit of the Single Eye in the Head of the Body comes to focus right here, in the pituitary in the center of the forehead, in the Spirit of the Womb, the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of the Mother—in love with the Spirit of the Father, the spirit of love focused in the Pineal, present in the pattern of the head of the body of the individual, and the Head of the Archangelic Body, so that life and life more abundant can be born through the Christ Radiance—Shekinah—the focus of spirit on earth, moving through the pure heart in blessing, benediction, with a single-minded devotion to let all substance rise up and return home to the LORD (bring all the tithes into the storehouse) that the spirit and substance of the New Earth might blend with the spirit and substance of the New Heaven in me and in you, and in this Christ Body.
There is something of considerable significance that I would like to begin to open up, so that we can entertain it in the months to come, and discover what opens further in services, and in other venues. And all venues that serve the LORD of Heaven on earth in this day are vitally important to what is transpiring; each one is responsible for a different level, range, or dimension of substance, revealing certain aspects of the Spirit in the One Body, functions that are absolutely essential—and more venues for generation will develop in the days to come.
Relative to what I want to consider here, Uranda spoke these words to a small group that gathered with him in a sanctuary space in 1949, mostly women: “All together, you provide that focus of Divine Womanhood as you are centered in your QUEEN, by which the restoration becomes possible, providing you are honest and true.” In our services and meditations in the past we haven’t spoken much about the QUEEN of Heaven and Earth. We talk about the KING of Heaven and Earth. I think there's something we need to share this morning that will open a door of Great Blessing, as we move in the cycles of resurrection from this day forward.
Uranda said this in 1952: “Do you think the Master's life was without love? No! Mary of Bethany was his sweetheart. Mary of Bethany provided the centering, from the standpoint of the negative aspect of being, for that outworking for which He was on earth, and for which He labored.”
I'm sure that a lot of you, probably mostly the women but perhaps the men too, are aware that there were a significant number of women disciples of the Master when He was on earth, women who were absolutely vital to His ministry. I went through the Biblical record and did some research, and I found nine women named, identified, characterized—significant women. A number of them were named Mary. Mary and Martha of Bethany were two of His most relied upon women, in terms of the core of His Body of women disciples. Others named are Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna, Salome, Elizabeth and several Marys. A number of these women were wealthy and they provided substance, funds, for His ministry as it was developing. In the Biblical record, by the time that His ministry was over He had eleven primary men that were named. There is something significant recorded here about the composition of His ministry—albeit mentioned ever so briefly—in terms of the angels who incarnated to be with Him, female and male, and the work of gathering those ones. Substance began to gather around a Core of men and women that was centered in Jesus, and Mary of Bethany.
I think it is altogether fitting that very little is said, and very little is known in general about Mary of Bethany. We know how the ministry of the Master Himself was corrupted very shortly after He was here. The Great Return relates to the whole, and there is something we must understand about the defilement of the earth and of the feminine vibration, wisdom, the Mother Presence, that occurred at the time of the fall, when those who were supposed to be the sons and daughters of God became the sons and daughters of perdition, and took over, and usurped the earth, the substance and body of the Mother, and raped it, and maintained that state of rebellion and defilement for the past 28,000 years. And this fallen state continues to this day. Naturally there would be a very great deal of care on the part of the Master about the manner in which He exposed this one, Mary of Bethany, who came into incarnation on earth to be with Him and form that Innermost Core of essential generation, that, as it was maintained in the Holy of Holies and the Holy Place, it would be allowed to expand outward in rings of development of a Spiritual Body, under His guidance. Perhaps you remember this passage in the Book of John, Chapter Twelve—versions of it are recorded four times in the Gospels, each one framed a bit different:
“Then Jesus six days before the Passover came to Bethany”—just six days. You can imagine, if you know something of great magnitude is coming your way in six days, you will be feeling it coming; you will feel the weight of it, the density of it, the significance of it, and the challenge of it. Even in the minor things that we have to face in our world day-by-day, we feel the shadow of it coming. This was six days before the Passover, and He knew what was coming. “Then Jesus six days before the Passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. And there they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.” One can feel the substance rising from that core interaction of spiritual intimacy, in the portrayal of that crucial scene and movement. “Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.”
These three words have resonated in me for many years: “Let her alone.” As the command of the LORD to the satanic government of this world, as it relates to the body and substance of the earth, of the Mother, of the QUEEN, He said, “Let Her Alone”, and that command resonates in this day. Now we're not just talking to or about earthbound men and women; we are talking about that which is most holy and most sacred, as it relates to the whole earth, and the Royal Household of the KING and the QUEEN, of which the sons and daughters of God are a part. Let Her Alone! That command resounds to this day; and it should be resounding through us, as we are sons and daughters of God incarnate here and now. There shall not be any violation of this sacred presence, this holy manifestation, only known in the Holy Place and in the Holy of Holies.
Here are a few words written by Uranda in 1939: “All God Beings are under the Law of the Positive and the Negative, and so are they male and female. The Great Master came into the outer planes to bring the truths of salvation to mankind.” And while He was on earth, under the Law “He could not marry during His life on earth.” We won't go into that right now, as to why the Law worked in this way relative to Him while He was incarnate; we will just accept it as fact. But under the Law, “He could not marry during His life on earth, though His Cosmic Beloved incarnated to be with Him during His outer ministry. Mary of Bethany and the Master Jesus, being Cosmic Beloveds, were very close sweethearts during all of their outer life manifestation. Let it be noted that Mary of Bethany was not Mary Magdalene, who anointed Jesus.” They were two different women. We could go into that another time, considering Mary Magdalene, without regard to any of the dubious statements made about her in popular culture these days; but we could examine it and gain a feeling for the significance of what Mary Magdalene brought as a vitally important disciple of the Master. However it was Mary of Bethany, His Cosmic Beloved, who “incarnated to be with Him during His outer ministry.” As Uranda emphasizes, “Mary of Bethany and the Master, being Cosmic Beloveds, were very close sweethearts during all of their outer life manifestation.” Also note that “Mary of Bethany was of all women, most beautiful, holy and pure… and they are our great KING and QUEEN.” Uranda also tells us that the God Being, that angel who incarnated as Mary of Bethany, “has not incarnated since that time. She ascended with the Master Jesus” when He ascended.
Perhaps that's enough for the moment, except to emphasize that, from this point on, when we speak of our KING—and if we're inside the Heavenly Borderland, in the Kingdom, we have a very vivid awareness of the KING of the Kingdom, always—and when we speak of the KING, or the LORD of this Body that is now developing, we should also immediately recall that in the Kingdom there is also the QUEEN, just as real and present as the KING of the Kingdom, and just as vital. How can there be a spiritual conception, brought about by the vision and the presence of the KING, if we don't have the conception brought about by the vision and presence of the QUEEN as well—the male and the female?
And in this regard, we think of those cycles that the Master set in motion over 2,000 years ago, cycles that have worked subconsciously and to some degree consciously, to bring us to the point where Uranda, the Lord of Truth, was able to incarnate and remind us of these things. And working throughout the cycles of his life, Uranda came to the point where, as a King in his own right in this outer world, representing his KING and QUEEN, Uranda drew to himself his Queen, without whom things would not have developed as substantially as they have—and here I speak of Kathy Meeker. And so, through Uranda and Kathy there was a representation on earth of the KING and QUEEN of Heaven and Earth; and therefore, because of the blending in the two here below, in relationship to the two above, they were able to bring forth through their ministry together that which we now know—this Spiritual Body. And more is to come for all of us, as these things are unveiled, and the Spirit of Truth brings all things to remembrance.
So, in the days to come when we think of the KING of Kings, we should think of the QUEEN of Queens as well, and recognize that 2000 years ago they incarnated together to accomplish something, and there was cycle after cycle after cycle of spiritual conception because of their communion together—and all of this has implications for us now. The Master went frequently to Bethany, because that was His greatest sanctuary, that was the one place that He had on earth to lay His head—and fundamentally they maintained the hedge in a Core sense in that home in Bethany, those three in particular, Mary and Martha and Lazarus, in that sanctuary; and His disciples and others, male and female, frequently came to be with them. And then, in this period of time, a week before the Passover, when Mary of Bethany anointed His head and His feet and wiped them with Her hair, there was something extraordinary taking place in that vibrational space, in terms of the generation of substance that was gathering and allowing Him to move within a somewhat expanded angelic hedge—such as it was, not very much provided by people in general—provided by a few as He moved into the pattern that we know as the Crucifixion, when that which was provided from above was met in that which was provided from below, and there was angelic care present at both levels. There should have been more on this side of the equation, but it was enough. And we know that the beloved disciple John also played a vital and central role in all that transpired during the life of our Master on earth, and subsequently.
And so, with this consideration, through our developing awareness of the KING and QUEEN of Heaven and Earth—with just the little that we know, in the sense of becoming aware of it, not that our minds know very much—in the days and weeks and months to come we can take all of this into our sanctuary space and ponder it, and see what more comes clear in the heavenly space we each maintain. This is all part of the Great Return of the stolen substance, this recognition, first of the spirit of the Mother in oneness with the spirit of the Father, and the great care that the Father, the KING, has taken to bring it to this point, so that His QUEEN could begin to be known once again in our consciousness in this day. And the Mother will not be defiled, and Her Body will not be raped again by fallen man.
We care for all of this in the Holy Place and in the Holy of Holies [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/from-holy-uranda-july-17-1953-class.html] in the Temple of Light which is alive here and now; and we have an opportunity to ponder the presence of the KING and the QUEEN in the Heaven that is here right now, the Heaven that I and you inhabit, and have done without even knowing it, really, through all the years of our life. It's been here all along. Now we know it, and we tend it with greater care and understanding than ever, that the work might be finished. But it's a big job, so it's going to take a while to finish it. It's going to be one generation of substance, but within several generations of people carrying forward.
In this transcript in which Uranda states that this is the time when Mother God must come into her own or man is lost,[greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2021/05/mother-god-must-come-into-her-own.html] he emphasizes that it is in this 2160 year Air cycle that things become absolutely critical. And certain things need to be achieved in specific phases during this 2160 year Age—this period that began around 1768, near the beginning of which Uranda then came into incarnation, and Martin. And we came as well. So this is just the beginning of things, obviously, when we think of what it would actually take to have this whole human nature scene cleaned up—it has taken 28,000 years to get into this mess, and it will take some time to have it completely cleared up. When we first considered these things years ago, we may have thought, well, this is going happen in forty years, and it will all be over. Well, certain things need to happen within certain definite time frames; but in the larger picture, in terms of the whole mop-up operation, it is within a longer period—not that long really in Cosmic terms—but it's going take several incarnations of angels, well trained to steward the process. This is our responsibility. This is our joy, akin to the Master's joy, to play our part in the Great Return and the finishing of this Great Work.
"Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
"Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
"Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?"
We move forward together in the creative cycle, speaking the Word out of the whirlwind—cyclic, rhythmic, creative. As emotions no longer determine behavior the mind is released so that the spirit may reveal intelligence. Certainly the sweet influences of Pleiades can be bound for right use; the bands of Orion can be loosed for intelligent thinking in consequence. Mazzaroth can be brought forth in his seasons. No longer is experience determined by external events and influences. What is needful in living is brought forth out of heaven by the action of spirit. The action of spirit in heaven is the whirlwind—creative action, not destructive. Emotions under control, mind activated by spirit brings forth what is right and fitting in the moment. Arcturus and his sons can be guided. Radiant expression makes this possible. The creative cycle can be administered. There is an awareness of the direction of movement. No longer is there any resistance to that movement but, rather, whatever is necessary to allow that movement to be effective in our own individual creative fields is provided.
The ordinances of heaven are known and the dominion of them is set in the earth by reason of our own individual spiritual expression. Spiritual expression is power. It has already been stated many times: Never underestimate the power of spiritual expression. It is the power of fusion, bringing and holding all things together in the true design in the creative process. This is the power of the Holy Ghost: fusion—oneness, wholeness, the power that operates the universe. The unholy ghost brings forth the power of fission, the power of disintegration—nuclear weapons, for one thing. This is looked upon as a great power capable of obliterating everything on the face of the earth. Is the power of fusion any less, do you think? Is the power which operates the universe, holding all things together in oneness, less than the power released by the unholy ghost, the power inherent in what is called fission? Of course not. Such power is scarcely discernible in the universe, in the cosmos of harmony and order brought forth by the power of fusion.
Never underestimate the power of spiritual expression therefore. Here is the power back of the whole universe brought to focus through the angels of God incarnate and in expression in human form on earth. Obviously it is a power not to be played with by impure hearts and self-active minds; it isn't available to impure hearts and self-active minds. Lacking that power, of course, they have been used to develop the other power: that of fission, that of disintegration. The angels of the Lord on earth are aware of the power of spiritual expression, the power of the Holy Ghost. They are aware also of such power as has been stolen by the unholy ghost, the power of disintegration. The latter is clearly demonstrated on earth in these days; it has come right out into the open where it can be seen. It is presumably a very noisy power, very violent, generating tremendous heat and light at a certain destructive level. Light in this sense can be used destructively, as can heat also, combined with noise. The unholy ghost is very noisy; the world is full of racket, in more ways than one.
The power of the Holy Ghost is silent. Maybe you have listened for the music of the spheres but I doubt if you heard very much. There is a quietness here, a gentleness, certainly a quality of understanding; but these elements do not indicate a lack of power. If, as human beings do, they correlate power with noise, violence, excessive heat and blinding light, then something seems to be lacking. But there is light, there is heat, in quietness and in gentleness. Here is power undreamt of by self-active human minds and impure human hearts. This presumably is why they have developed the substitute, the destructive power, the power of disintegration. Do you imagine that disintegration can prevail in face of the power of the Holy Ghost, the power of spiritual expression?
Let us begin to sense more keenly in mind and heart the intensity and the quality of this creative power; for this power is in the hands of the angels of the Lord incarnate and in expression on earth. It is used only to the extent of purity of heart and clarity of mind, because only to that extent is spiritual expression possible. This power is inherent in spiritual expression. This power achieves the creative purposes of spirit. It cannot be prevented or turned aside. But it only emerges into experience as there are pure hearts and clear minds to let it happen.

In this day there has been particular movement in a directly experienced creative cycle. It was not shut off after the service given by me this morning or after what was provided a little later by you. The continuing movement has been present and available to the experience of all concerned, to the extent of purity of heart and clarity of mind, refocalized in a specific way by those who participated in the chanting and in the words that were spoken—latterly you all shared in that chanting—that we might be together in a continuing way in this particular focus of the creative cycle which is our responsibility, the responsibility of each one. We have the opportunity of sharing it in a very specific way when we are together as we are now, but it does not evaporate when this is not the situation, although it may evaporate in the experience of those who should be participating in the continued movement of that creative cycle.
As a little aside, I have noticed that after the blessing is given at a meal there are those who very quickly revert to their conversation and their ribaldry. Perhaps very often the first sounds that put in an appearance are those of children. Something should be done about that to cause an awareness as soon as possible in the childish consciousness of moments of sacredness and reverence. But some of adult years are not far behind the children, as a rule. I take note of these things; perhaps some of you do too.
Who has the experience of being the angel of the Lord incarnate and in expression on earth? Whose minds and hearts are yielded and open and welcoming to that experience? And so we share it, if we will, now in this moment because we pay attention. But then minds wander and hearts become involved with a variety of emotions. The focus is lost; participation in the creative cycle ceases; the power is dissipated. How many are there on the face of the earth with the opportunity consciously to share this creative work which we have begun to understand? Shall the destructive power of fission prevail in human experience, or shall it be the creative power of fusion, the creative power that is made manifest in oneness, in an easy, natural, complementary movement of all those who are aware of these things? When that is so, the reality of spiritual expression puts in an appearance and the power of fusion is present.
What might be described as miracles, I suppose, occur, because this power is absolutely irresistible. It is, of course, irresistible in two ways. Those who fight against it discover what it means to fail; those who welcome it discover that it is irresistible and irresistibly brings them back to where they belong. Those who know the reality of spiritual expression constantly and consistently extend the welcome into the Holy Place, the Holy Place from which spiritual expression flows. In the giving of attunements it has usually been thought of in the sense of projecting something, doing something to the physical form. That may have been part of the situation heretofore, but the real attunement is to be brought home, isn't it?—for the minds and hearts, and therefore the bodies of people, to be brought again into the garden of God, into the Holy Place. To welcome someone into the holy place, naturally one must have a Holy Place to welcome them into.
It is this that is health—perhaps not healing, but health. There is a distinction here. People want to be healed so that they can continue in whatever state they were in before. Of course they may claim that if they are healed they will serve God better. That's not the point. The point is for mind and heart to be made new. The body certainly cannot be made new if mind and heart are not. The body seems to be quite willing to follow along with the mind and the heart, whether in the broad way to destruction or in the narrow way to life. The problem is not really very much with the body but in the minds and the hearts of those bodies. It will continue to exist as long as the emotions dictate behavior, for when the emotions dictate behavior the mind rationalizes that behavior. It was Adam, wasn't it, who went trotting after Eve when she ate the forbidden fruit. He's been trotting after Eve ever since. As long as emotions control, the mind is stupid; it's under the influence of dope. It's addicted to what has been called the forbidden fruit, namely judgment—the imagined ability that the mind has, to determine what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is bad. If it thinks it has that ability it's stupid! And it's stupid because it exercises that ability, or what it thinks of as an ability.
The spirit moves in heaven, and the Word is spoken out of the whirlwind. I suppose that whirlwind could be described as an anticyclone; it's a high-pressure area. The movement of the spirit in the substance of heaven is described as the whirlwind, invisible as yet; but with an anticyclone it is a gentle zephyr. Here is the angel in heaven administering the creative cycle. The reverse of that would be a cyclone: low pressure, the devil in hell administering destruction, disintegration, fission. That would be it insofar as human beings are concerned; but because the angels are in heaven and because there are those yielded minds and hearts sufficiently clear and pure, the creative cycle can be administered within the range of human experience, designed to make all things new. But mind and heart must be made new first, for it is through mind and heart that the creative cycle may be administered on earth—but only by the angel of the Lord; it can't be self-administered by mind and heart.
So we participate in this process now in this moment as there is an actual movement with the action of the spirit, with the Word in heaven. There could not be participation in that without being in heaven. One may know for oneself the extent to which there is intelligent participation because there is a sea of glass clear as crystal. The emotions are stable and still. The mind is no longer interested in being governed by the emotions but in being governed, now, by the spirit of God, by the action of spirit in heaven. And the Word comes out of the whirlwind to make very sure that the mind has no false illusions and the emotions are no longer attempting to rule the roost. Then there may be stillness, quietness: a sea of glass clear as crystal—the purified heart, the sanctified and clarified mind waiting upon the Lord, waiting for the activation out of heaven to be experienced and administered on earth. What is done in any situation, any circumstance that arises, makes possible the setting of the dominion of the ordinances of heaven in the earth. This is not possible when emotions run rife or when the mind justifies the emotions and rationalizes its own action.
Be still, O mind; be silent, O heart.
Behold, the Spirit of Truth comes forth;
spiritual expression is made possible; the power of creation is present.
How gently, how easily, all that is present in human consciousness can be handled.
How gently, how easily, things can be made new.
It is usually the human view that to cause anything to happen in the world as it is known some sort of forceful imposition must be brought to bear. This is war, of course, at whatever level that war may put in an appearance. This is not the way of the spirit. The spirit does bring something to bear in radiation into human consciousness, something that, as I have said, is irresistible. This high pressure is easily yielded to by the minds and the hearts that are willing. In those who are not willing, resistance is engendered; but what is the point of resisting the irresistible power?
So we know what it is that happens. We, living out of heaven, are responsible for administering the creative cycle. We may observe what is happening, being unmoved by it, and we may provide whatever is fitting and possible to assist others in their yielding, in the clarifying and sanctification of human minds and in the purification of human hearts. We know what that is to the extent that it has been experienced by our own personal minds and hearts. If it hasn't been we don't know what it is, and we can be of no assistance or value to anybody else. Some people sit around hoping for something to happen. It never does, because the heart must be open and the mind yielded to the spirit, the spirit which has been so vividly portrayed and offered, extended, month after month and year after year, within the range of our experience. We can deny it, we can betray it, we can be dishonest—but why? I am sure there is a longing in every open heart for honesty and clarity, the joy of administering the creative cycles on earth. What a wonder this is, and what miracles occur!
All who will come are welcomed into the Holy Place. Nothing that defiles or works abomination or makes a lie can come in, so all that rubbish can be left outside. And within the Holy Place is wholeness: Be thou made whole. This welcome into the Holy Place is far beyond what has heretofore been called attunement, isn't it? Attunement as it has been known has been no more than a patching-up process, so that people can stick around a little longer and maybe yield their hearts and minds. But it is the yielding of the heart and mind that is the point, the coming into the Holy Place, where wholeness is. Coming into the Holy Place, that is the experience: wholeness—no need to shop around anymore to try to get fixed up. In the Holy Place whatever needs to be done to administer the creative cycle is done. This will relate also to one's own physical form. Creative expression of life, spiritual expression, is what is known.
Glory to God in the Highest, that in living, momentary living, the truth may be known because it is in expression. That expression is spiritual expression. It is the focus for the power which operates the universe to find fitting and right and creative release in human experience. We are responsible for this. What a glorious responsibility! We share it now and in all the hours and days and months and years to come. Here is peace, here is beauty, here is love.
