My Spirit To Yours Dear Brother, Dear Sister

My  Spirit  To  Yours  Dear  Brother,  Dear  Sister

David Barnes  March 31, 2024  Salmon Arm, B.C.

We leave behind religious conditioning that surrounds Easter commemorations, and move into a New Heaven that imbues our meditations with life and vitality, because of the presence of the Sons and Daughters of God right here right now. And thus everything is brought up to date, in the present moment of resurrection and possibility for the Christ Body. We remove the grave clothes, fold them carefully and leave them in the darkened place, and we move out into the Garden experience that is available to everybody who attunes to the spirit moving in the New Heaven.

When I use the term Christ Body I mean qualities of spirit that are being expressed through human beings—human forms with capacities of consciousness that each God Being created for a specific purpose, as part of the Archangelic Body and purpose. This, now emerging as the Christ Body, is a vehicle through which Creator Beings express and create, bringing the government of the spirit into the world.

I will read a few verses from a poem by Walt Whitman titled, “To Him That Was Crucified”. I'm not wrapped up in the crucifixion story at Easter; but I am very interested in what occurred spiritually at that time, when a seed was planted in the Garden consciousness, and over time it grew and became something quite different than the original seed itself. Now, we are aware that it is our responsibility to tend and keep the Garden, and let the planting flourish under our hand. Here is what Walt Whitman had to say about 150 years ago in a poem that is a direct message addressed to Jesus the Christ. He begins, “My spirit to yours dear brother”.

     “My spirit to yours dear brother,

     Do not mind because many sounding your name do not understand you,

     I do not sound your name, but I understand you,

     I specify you with joy O my comrade to salute you, and to salute those who are with you, before and since, and those to come also,

     That we all labor together transmitting the same charge and succession …

     We walk silent among disputes and assertions, but reject not the disputers nor any thing that is asserted,

     We hear the bawling and din, we are reach'd at by divisions, jealousies, recriminations on every side,

     They close peremptorily upon us to surround us, my comrade,

     Yet we walk unheld, free, the whole earth over, journeying up and down

     till we make our ineffaceable mark upon time and the diverse eras,

     Till we saturate time and eras, that the men and women of races, ages to come, may prove brethren and lovers as we are.”

Here is the voice of one speaking to an intimate spiritual comrade, a friend who was as immediately present to him in that moment as if he had been back there 1900 years ago with the Master Jesus. But I particularly want to emphasize two things. First: “Do not mind because many sounding your name do not understand you. I do not sound your name, but I understand you.” The Name—recognizing that we are in heaven and on Holy Ground, we could say that the Name is the Body of the Son of God. We are “in the Name”. We are in the Body of the Son. We are in the Body of the Sun, that great orb that centers this solar system; and as human beings we are in the Body of the Son—the Body of the God Being within, and the Body of the Archangelic Son. Second: Whitman expressed, “My spirit to yours dear brother.” I could say that to each of you, in thanksgiving for what you bring of your own spirit: “My spirit to yours dear brother, dear sister.” I could say that to Stewart or to John, recognizing the fine stature and largess of spirit: “My spirit to yours dear brother.” Or I could say to Anne, “My spirit to yours dear sister.” We may not go about speaking those words out loud to each other, but walking on Holy Ground we acknowledge that, really, it is always so. And there are other phrases too, that we might use in the Body of the Son. Uranda mentioned that his preferred term to use, when speaking of the God Being, would be, “My Prince.”

When we move in a sacred atmosphere together, conscious of being on Holy Ground, and aware of the Burning Bush at the Core of the Body of the Son of God—the orb of the Sun is a symbol of the burning bush—there is opportunity for holy greeting, sacred interchange and acknowledgment, before we get down to business, the Father's business. Uranda gave a beautiful service in 1954 titled, “Co-owner In The Father's Business.” In the Body of the Son we are Sons and Daughters in our Divine human beingness, and from the standpoint of the God Being we are Lords of our creation, male and female, Lords who love the design of being that is evident in the clarity of the New Heaven and the New Earth that we know. We live in this Body of the Sun at the level of the outer world; but we also live in the Body of the Son that is the formation of God Beings coming into differentiated manifestation of the design in heaven, revealed through you and me and others.

I watch the news and the public affairs programs on the internet and on TV. I've been surprised and delighted to see and hear the radiance beginning to emerge through many of those who are reading the news, and many who are being interviewed. As well, I can see the brutality and the destructiveness, and the inability to recognize the sanctity of life, and to say in attitude, “My spirit to yours dear brother, dear sister.” But I have been noting how the radiance is coming through many in the Body of God—for example, our head CBC news anchor, in whom there is such an abundance of competence and stability, compassion and deep care. It pours out of her and through the screen, and I say, “My spirit to yours dear sister.” She is just one among many. I mention this because here is evidence of what is taking place in the Body of the Son—not what is taking place in the tomb, but evidence of those beginning to emerge into the Garden experience.

A broader spectrum of representation is evident in this emerging New Nation, this part of the Body of God that is the focus of Son consciousness. It isn't visible to the same degree in and through each member in the exactly same way that it may be present in the conscious mind and heart of those who provide that focus, but the radiance of it permeates the Whole Body—those who are somehow catalyzed into agreement with its spirit, finding some measure of union with it. It is easy to see that the illumination of the Whole Body is showing, catalyzed by the illumination taking place in the focus pattern lodged in the Head of the One Body emerging on earth. And that is us in this service pattern; that is us in the Tone of Life service pattern; that is us through all the attunement gatherings; that is us and others. We have been called to this time, called to recognize and know, called to let the radiance of the Light of the City in the Son—and the City in the Sun—increase here on earth; not so much through increasing numbers of people, but through enlarging and amplifying the radiance of those who already know that this is why I am here.

We are the Holy City. Angels incarnate are a Holy City in the Son; the Body of the Son as it relates to this world—all of humanity being resurrected and moving in this restoration cycle—is a Radiant City in a larger Body of the Son. And so each of us can say, “I am a Holy City within a Greater City, within the Body of the Son”—the Body of the Son of God, and the Body of the Sun of the whole Solar Entity.

There are many things that could be considered in relationship to the design as we begin to discover it emerging in our own consciousness. It relates to our own specific purpose for being here; and no one can bring what the other one brings. There may be overlap in some who are working together within specific groupings of angels in the Body, but each of us brings something quite unique. The whole Body needs to be filled out, so that there is a functioning Being and Body here.

The Bhagavad Gita speaks about the nine gateways of the body; gateways for radiance and for response, gateways for assimilation and gateways for elimination. There are also three other primary gateways, related to the consciousness of the mental level, the heart or emotional level, and the spiritual expression level, in their responsive and radiant aspects. So we have twelve primary gateways in the Body of the Son of God, and the thirteenth is the Son Himself, the Wonderful One Within, who created the Body with its twelve gateways for the reception and release of spirit in accord with the purposes of the Father. And of course, in the Body we have seven other primary gateways, representing the Archangelic focal points that are present in the City in the Son. So we have the seven and the twelve in our individual makeup, and in the makeup of the developing Body of the Son of God. All these things begin to dawn on us.

I am sharing some of what I am becoming aware of, flooding into consciousness through this crossover point, this human being; and each one of us will have different things coming into consciousness from On High, thoughts and ideas that relate to our specific responsibility; and ways will naturally appear to blend with other members of the One Body who share related fields of function. This is happening. The little tribulations that arise between us from time to time are no big deal really. The development of this Body is well underway! It is not going to disappear. And what appeara as points of difference or misunderstanding can quickly dissolve as attention is given in the right place, and we proceed. We will have to make adjustments, but these things that come and go in the purification that we share in this resurrection cycle, these cloudy areas will pass away. And we can help them pass away more quickly—or maybe not. Sometimes it is best to leave them alone for a little bit, and not misinterpret what's going on.

We continue to move in a purification cycle, allowing more of this Body of the Son to come forth and be effective in function through each individual member, and through the whole. And every person, all of the creation—animal, vegetable, mineral; and the crowning creation, the human being—all of it is moving in this one grand restorative cycle, with its purpose being to bring as many as will come into a totally new experience from what has heretofore been known in the state of “fallen man.” Although we are in the world of mixed up, confused and imprisoned human beings, we ourselves do not have to be imprisoned. As Whitman said:

     “Yet we walk unheld, free, the whole earth over, journeying up and down

     till we make our ineffaceable mark upon time and the diverse eras,

     Till we saturate time and eras, that the men and women of races, ages to come, may prove brethren and lovers as we are.”

This is the Word of the Third Sacred School. This is the Word of Emissaries of Divine Light. This is the Word extending from the Temple of Light. This is the sounding of the Tone of Life and Love. It has never been exclusive; even though I know that in my human makeup I've been exclusive in times past. One of the greatest blessings the Master brought throughout His Ministry was a continuous spirit of forgiveness. His last words were, “Father, forgive them.”

That phrase, that Word, is resounding in my soul over this Easter season. “Father, forgive me, for I did not know what I was doing in those moments. My human soul speaks these words directly to the Father of All, and to the Mother of All, for not being the true Son of Father and Mother God—or for not being the true Daughter of Father and Mother God. “Father, Mother, forgive me, for I did not know.” And there is forgiveness for what may yet transgress in the future, as we move onward through the cycles of purification and regeneration together. But the word is, “Father, forgive them”—forgive all those that we can see in the world who slip and slide in the mud of human nature.

And it is so, as we move ahead together. It is One Spirit, One Body, no matter how many formations emerge, formations that are differentiated aspects of this Body, formations that are required to accomplish certain things in the world, through the release of the spirit of this Body. We're in a new time. This is the time for the Sons and Daughters of God in this Body to come forth, and bring what is theirs to bring into the body of mankind, with whom each one has particular connections and responsibilities that maybe others don't know anything about; and don't have to know anything about just yet—but you know that it is so for you. There is One Vine, One Vehicle, One Body differentiated to enfold and serve multiple opportunities that are at hand—and more will come as we use these ones rightly.

This is some of what I feel emerging in the Garden experience—out of the tomb, and into the experience of the Son, who was never in the tomb but is always in the Garden. It is only the human facilities that have been entombed. “Imprisoned Splendor,” Robert Browning called it, the human condition—imprisoned splendor now released from the prison, walking out of the tomb and into the Garden. And so, may these words provide assurance that we are working together no matter what formations we may find ourselves a part of. We each bring the spirit of the angel into the Body just as it is right now. My spirit to yours, dear brother, dear sister. Forgive me my trespasses. I see you and I know you.

“Forgive them Father, their trespasses—this is now my responsibility. My responsibility is to release the spirit of forgiveness, and then the prison doors may open, and people make their choices. We know we've gone in and out in times past; not so much anymore. “My spirit to yours”—to each one here, the ones I'm with right now. “My spirit to your spirit, dear brother, dear sister.” On this Easter day—in this Grand Easter Day of the Ages—where the resurrection and the restoration of the Body of the Son of Father and Mother is happening, and we're a part of that happening. On this Grand Easter day, “My spirit to yours, dear brother, dear sister.”

Gary Courtland-Miles — Greetings Angels, brothers, sisters. Thank you Father for this strengthening, this powerful spirit that has been with us, strengthening us in our Priesthood, our Priesthood that blesses the whole earth and also blesses each other. We bless each other, we lift each other up, we recognize the beauty and radiance of each one. So let us continue to do a new thing, let a new thing be done. Turns out that new thing is that Glory we had in the beginning with Father and Mother God before the foundation of this world. So let us continue to rise up and let it be done. 

My spirit to yours, Dear Brother, Dear Sister

Heavenly Government—Earthly Government

Heavenly  Government — Earthly  Government

Stewart Berger  March 31, 2024  Norwalk, California

It's very special to be together on Easter Sunday to consider the process of resurrection, transformation, transmutation—the experience of Jesus having the victory over death and by reason of what He moved through, making possible this opportunity that we find ourselves in now, to find our union with God, the divine, and to manifest that in all our ways.

I've really been enjoying our recent services, and it seems to me that there is an extra level or dimension of vibrancy and life that you and we are allowing to be brought forth, and it's the love for the LORD that is at the heart of that. The web of connection that we share transcends our human activity, permeates it, and is protective; my image of that connective, energetic material is as a strong and fine yet flexible mesh, and I find it's evidence of greater union between us, which consequently allows the opportunity for greater unified radiation. Martin spoke about this in 1981 in “The Mind That Was in Christ Jesus”: 

“Unified radiation relates to what is experienced in an outward direction. The human mind and heart of all those who are participating in the accommodation of the expression of the spirit of God, of the Word, find themselves associated in that expression. Unified in the radiation, there is an increasing perspective of wholeness and awareness that this which is finding expression of the Word is doing so on the basis of a unified whole. As these various stages consequent upon response of heart and mind are experienced, the nature of the form of one's response changes. It is the response of the heart and mind which should never stop responding, but the experience is different because there is more and more of the Word in expression being accommodated by the heart and mind. As there is movement through these creative stages, attraction, union, unified radiation—what happens at each stage is not left behind but is rather amplified by subsequent changes.”

That's what I've been experiencing in these services. The crossover point where we find our being and which we share is expanded and has greater dimension: it's pretty exciting! 

I work reporting, writing and reading news on an L.A. radio station, which certainly keeps me in touch with what's happening in the world.  Sometimes I see stories about various individuals acting in crazy ways—maybe you do too—and I have a feeling these incidents may increase. I think it's a sign that life is intensifying and certain structures are falling away, and some people don't know how to handle that. In a Temple service given in January, Jae Hyoung Lee said that after a meeting somebody asked, “Is there hope for humanity?” And of course a number of people all over the world wonder about this. Jae Hyoung said there is hope for humanity: “As long as we are in our place and doing our part, I think this world is safe. And as long as the Lord can be in this world through us, and as long as the Lord is in this world, this world is safe. Long ago, the Lord Jesus had to do it all alone. Most of the disciples weren't with him, but now we are here, for the glory of the Lord.” We are here, and it's up to us. About what's happening in the world, various ones have at times felt fear. But remember what Moses said to the Children of Israel as they were being chased by the pharaoh and his gang when the Red Sea parted: Fear not! “Fear not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.” We have much strength, each of us and together, and that provides a foundation.

Maybe you've seen some polls on the U.S. election in November in which a majority of Americans on both sides say they don't want to see the rematch of the two current front-runners for president, and there's tension because of this. One poll asked people how they would describe what they feel about the election, and one of the top words was “dread”. This issue has made me think about heavenly government and earthly government.

In a great service by Martin, he talked about the ordinances of heaven and the ordinances of earth; and how so many people are really caught up in what's going on in the earth but there's a natural control that originates in heaven: through heaven and through us. Martin addressed this in a few different services, and in one he said: “The Priesthood, in the true state, constitute what may be called government. The government of God on earth is extended through the Priesthood.” In another service he said: “We were considering the matter of ministers last Sunday. By the way, ministers is rather a good word because it doesn't confine the experience to what is deemed to be spiritual. Generally speaking it's called religious. There are ministers of religion, but there are also ministers of government.” So the job is to minister—you've been doing it, as have I.

In the last year, I posted several times about the election on a social media platform and conversed there with others about that. I enjoyed seeing that many people are open to a new and more creative experience politically, while others seem very rigid and insistent on sticking with the way things have been going, and in some cases refused to even consider the idea of change. A good portion of humanity wants to keep going along in the same old ways, and yet we know it hasn't worked.  I think this is a time in which the world finally needs to choose as to whether it will stay in that stuck state or find freedom and solutions by being open to and accepting the natural working of life which originates with God: Father God and Mother God.  And aligning with that, we may each reveal the Divine masculine or the Divine feminine. 

Going back to my mention of the crossover point that we share, I think some who live from that place naturally find their function more in generating heavenly substance or atmosphere, while others are more attuned to service in earthly matters and with people in those arenas. And many operate fluidly in both these realms. Being flexible in spirit and attitude, we can no doubt serve easily in any capacity, as needed; no doubt you have. And because of our web of connection, it all gets covered.

Right now in the U.S., several issues are top of mind; a few are climate change, the National Debt, and wars or conflicts happening elsewhere but which officials take action on. How much more quickly and creatively things might be resolved if those handling them abandoned divisiveness and greed and instead honored our oneness and recognized that, rather than serving ourselves, we're here to serve God, and the greater purposes of life.

So on this Easter Sunday it's wonderful to be with you, providing a place from which a strong and clear blessing may move out through us into the world, to touch whomever is open to receive it; to know that vibrant life is possible now and in all the days to come. I'd like to close with some words by Jesus, spoken just before the events that would lead to his crucifixion and resurrection. These words really spoke to me. There is magic in what Jesus said, and I think the magic was in His love for the Father. We may each know that personal connection and allow it to enliven our beings—our first love. This is from the Book of John, Chapter 17, Jesus speaking with His Father:

Stewart Berger reading John 17

“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

“I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

“While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

“Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

“Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

Yujin Pak — As I hear what you have shared, what comes to me are the final words of the Master, “Be with me where I am.” Eternal words. “Be with me where I am”, and in this day we have the opportunity to fulfill the resurrection and fulfill these eternal words to be with Him now, where He is, in oneness with His Being as His princes and princesses. As we are forgiven of the trespasses that we each have known of each other—ways in which we may have trespassed upon each other—asking forgiveness, releasing in forgiveness, we come back into that place that the Master asked, “Be with me where I am, O my princes, O my princesses.” And we have the opportunity to greet each other in this day in the fulfillment of those eternal words and stand now as Sons and Daughters of God, present in this final hour of fulfillment that all that He did may be magnified, glorified. In whom? In us. Stewart, you spoke about Jae Hyoung's words, “Is there hope for mankind?”  As long as the Lord is present through me and you there's hope for mankind. How more true could words be? As long as the Lord is present through me and you; as long as His princes and His princesses are present through me and you today. And the resurrection is not of the past but is now. There's absolute hope for humanity and isn't this the glorious hour in which to fulfill that. To serve the LORD in a kindly human way? Do we want to do that any longer, as individual separate human beings? Why not in these essential hours enter the full surrender that our Master did, released of separate human self, one with the Father, and be the Father present on earth now as He was. This was His prayer for us, that the Father may be present on earth in these final hours, through me, through you. O my princes, O my princesses, I greet you, released of all the trespasses that we may have known of each other.

Peace Be Unto Thee

Peace  Be  Unto  Thee

Uranda  March 23, 1947  Riverside, California

As we all let each point of fulfillment become the inception of a new cycle of accomplishment, we find all the forces of the Cosmos back of us in the accomplishment which God ordained, and all that undertakes to oppose that fulfillment must necessarily crumble. As the stone was rolled away and our LORD came forth from the Tomb, so is the stone rolled away now, that all responding ones may come forth into a new expression of Life now, because the pattern is of the Truth rather than falsity—and vivid because the Current of Life is allowed to operate without those distortions which have brought suffering into the world. We know that as far as human beings are concerned, Love, as experienced by man, carries man to the highest height that he may know; but Love, misused, carries to the lowest depths.

I was thinking how very appropriate it is that this fulfillment [Ordination of Martin Cecil] should be in the Easter Season—in that Season when the world, or at least a portion of it, pauses for at least a moment to pay tribute to our Master’s victory over death. As He proved the reality of Eternal Life, and as He instructed that we are to follow Him, He surely included that victory over death, that proving of the eternal nature of Life. He came that we may have Life and that we may have it more abundantly. He said: “And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free,” but though the Truth sets the individual free, that is not enough. What will the individual do with that freedom? Will he sell it for a mess of pottage and return to slavery, or will he utilize that freedom in the expression of Life—vivid, true and real—Life that glorifies the Source of Life, Life that in its expression brings victory over death and the things that lead to death. By the Truth men are set free. For what cause? That they may enjoy the glorious liberty of the Children of God, and that means the expression of Life as God intended that it should be.

The Pattern of Truth is made available to all, but only as that Pattern is used in the expression of Life can it have meaning on earth. And so it is that this Easter Season has special significance for us and for all who will hearken to the Call: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”—rest from the self-activity that wearies the human being, rest from the self-activity that is the heavy burden which human beings try to carry in their own puny strength; for he who receives the rest of the Lord, who enters into that Sabbath Rest, ceases from his self-active works and begins to let Life in its fullness, in its beauty, find expression, because such an one allows God to do the works. So it is that we follow Him.

In my Ministry I have, when needful, painted with such words as I could find, although inadequate, the picture of man’s rejection of our KING, and of the ignominy which was heaped upon Him in His journey to the Cross, because I have felt that no matter how callous the world, there must surely be those in the world who will not let His sacrifice be in vain. He Who loved us and gave Himself for us is worthy of our Love. That disciple whom Jesus loved desired to inspire Love for the Master in others, that they may share with Him the sacred joy of being loved by the LORD of Love. It is true that He loves all people, but so few receive that Love, and it is the receiving of the Love that counts.

So many people in the world feel lonely and long for Love, and, following the human pattern, they struggle to try to get Love, as if they thought they could reach out and take it unto themselves, as if they thought they could put it in a cage and bring it forth for their own pleasure when and as they might choose, but that cannot be done with Love, and any imitation of Love with which it can be done is too poor a thing to satisfy. If human beings could only realize that their loneliness, that their longing to be loved, is really the answer of the soul to the whispering Spirit of God, they would stay still long enough to hear the nessage of the Spirit, that they might begin to know where to find Love. They would cease their frantic efforts, their struggling and their trying, and they would find that Love is offered to all who will receive.

I think that tonight, more fully than ever before, you can appreciate the longing that has been in my heart, through the years, to share with you, and with all, the joy that can come only in the receiving of Love from the LORD of Love. It is a blessed thing to share this joy of receiving Love from Him, and the more there are to share it, the more of His Love will appear on earth, and the more of His Love that finds expression on earth, the greater will be the manifestation of His power. I have known people to act and speak as if they thought they were somehow doing me some special favor when they listened to the Word of Truth that I have offered to all, as if they were doing me some special favor in even pausing to consider the possibility of getting into line, so that they might receive the Gift of His Love. Why do I minister? First, because I Love my KING, and, secondly because I love all those who Love Him.

Communion in Spirit and a sharing of that peace that is found in God’s Love fills us with joy, and that communion in Spirit reaches forth to the ends of the earth. Perhaps gradually, but surely, there comes a realization that in the true outpouring of the Spirit, when there is really a Radiation, distance, in any geographical sense, ceases to be a barrier; for those who are attuned in the Christ are privileged to share in the Spirit of the Christ wherever they are.

Martin Cecil — Yesterday in the car, as we were driving along, I was speaking to Kathy of Peace. Now, when we are actually resting in Peace, I feel that it is a Current flowing, and when we experience the flow of the Current through ourselves, we are within the Kingdom of Peace. It is not something that is static or meaningless. It is a living, pulsing, flowing Current which passes through the individual, and as long as he abides in that Current and is conscious of the flow of the Current, he is enfolded in Peace—he is abiding in the Kingdom of Peace—but in order for the Current to flow through the individual, it has to reach through the individual first, and it has to pass through the periphery of the individual sphere, because the forward moving edge of the Current is not, from the standpoint of the unreal, peaceful, because it constitutes a sword, and there is a battle; and to the degree that there is response to the turmoil, there is disturbance and uncertainty. The Current passes through the polarized individual eventually, and moves on out into the world, so that something may be accomplished—but unless it is allowed to flow through the individual in the first place, it can never reach out into the world and accomplish something out there, so the necessity would be to remain steady and on the beam during the process of letting that Current carry forward through oneself, and on out into the world. And when it moves on out, the battle is beyond, and the processes of accomplishment are carried on out there, while the individual through whom the Current is flowing abides in the Kingdom.

Uranda — Very well put. The LORD of Love is the Prince of Peace, but He said: “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I come not to send peace, but a sword.” In other words, until the individual lets himself be a channel for the Peace of the LORD of Love, so that the cleansing power of God is working in the range on beyond himself, he does not know Peace, even though he is in the Current of Peace.

As the vibration has worked out thus far, I feel that the degree of co-ordination made manifest in this little hour of meditation and general radiation could be used as a starting point for a little focalized radiation. In this instance I am not thinking of focalizations with respect to individual recipients of the radiation as with respect to the radiations themselves. The Master instructed that we should enter into the closet and shut the door and pray to our Father who seeth in secret—and He assured us that the Father who seeth in secret would reward us openly. The reward which is received openly is the result of radiation. Let us harmonize in the Radiation of the Word into the world:

“How long, how long, halt ye between two opinions?”

“Ye cannot serve two masters.”

“Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation.”

Let the irresistible cords of Divine Love take hold in thy heart and in thy mind, thou Responding One, whosoever and wheresoever thou mayest be. Turn thy thought and attention from the world of turmoil. Refuse to let adversities fill thy thought and mind and feeling realm. Let go now to the LORD of Love, that the power of Love may hold thee steady, while the Pattern of Truth is established in thee, while the Sword of Truth cuts asunder the bonds wherewith thou art bound, that thou mayest be set free to express the glories of Life in the Liberty of the Children of God. Let go of the things of the world and let go to the yearning of the Spirit—for the Spirit of Love would lift thee up, and the Spirit of Truth would set thee free, and the Spirit of Life would carry thee into the glorious Liberty of the Children of God.

He who loves God, to whatever degree, cannot be lifted up thereby until he lets the Spirit of Truth set him free, and he who lets himself be set free must let the Spirit of Life cause him to begin to grow into the stature of Divine Manhood and Divine Womanhood.

The LORD our God seeks those who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. All people everywhere, in any moment, are privileged to worship Him in Spirit, but Love Response to the LORD does not lift the individual into the expression of Life in Reality until the Sword of Truth is allowed to operate to remove the unreal; for if any were lifted up by the Spirit of Love while still conformed to the patterns of the unreal, the power to do evil would be increased, and the currents of destruction would be multiplied—for the Currents of Love and the Currents of Life, moving through the individual, bring into manifestation that which is shaped and molded by the pattern within the individual, and if it be the pattern of the unreal, the individual cannot be lifted up by the power of Love, lest God should thereby defeat Himself. Therefore, there is one condition established unto all men that no matter how much they may Love God or seek to function in the Love of God, they cannot be lifted up until they conform to the pattern of Truth, that they may then express the fullness of Life in the Liberty of the Children of God.

Therefore, all ye who hearken to the Call of the Spirit, give heed now and know that worshiping God in Spirit and responding to Him in Love is of no avail unless you let yourselves be conformed to the Pattern of Truth, unless you let the Sword of Truth cut away the unreal. As you begin the journey upward, you are received of the LORD in the beginning with whatever burden of the unreal you may be carrying, but as you move upward, you must let the Sword of Truth operate—and if at any point along the way you cease to respond to the Spirit of Truth, there, at that point, you cease to move upward, and from that point the Current that should bring Life, if it were allowed to operate through the Pattern of Truth, brings forth the fruit of the unreal, and the unworthy branch is cut off and cast into the Fire. Therefore, respond in Love to God, let go to the irresistible cords of Divine Love, but shrink not from the Sword of Truth by which thou mayest be set free from bondage to this world, that thou mayest be lifted up and, in the Ascending Current, find that expression of Life to which thou art ordained of the Living God.

Peace be unto thee, now and forevermore, to the degree that thou dost let go in the Current of Peace, but that which is not in harmony with the Peace of God is not comfortable or at peace in the Current of Peace. Therefore, let the Sword of Truth cut away that whereby thy discomfort is made manifest, that thou mayest truly relax and rest in the Peace of God Eternal; for in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, it is established unto each one, now and forevermore. In the Christ. Aum-en
