AXIOMS
The UNDIVIDED is eternally balanced for it is ONE.
The DIVIDED ONE is eternally unbalanced for it becomes TWO.
The UNITED TWO can become a balanced ONE only if each mate of the TWO is equal.
A balanced UNITY is possible only where interchange between the mate-pairs ofevery transaction of man, or Nature, is equal and rhythmic.
We shall now apply the foregoing axioms and principles to such human transactions as the music example, individual and national relations, sex, industry and other examples necessary to enable you to fully comprehend where the physical expression ends in all such transactions and the spiritual expression begins.
Let us begin with sound itself. Sound is created by a collision between two states of motion or conditions of matter.We now consider the creator of the sound. Man, for example, is the creator of the drum beat, the chant, the march, waltz, jazz, choralor symphony. No matter which status of physical or spiritual expression that comesfrom the creator of sound, there is something else than Soul within the sound which is not a part of the sound itself--a something else which is not created--and that something is RHYTHM. There are other uncreated QUALITIES within sound, also, such as BEAUTY which inner eyes and inner vision alone can see but, for the present, we shall consider only RHYTHM.
The savage beats his drum in rhythms which are as physical as he is physical. They force bodies to respond to such rhythms as his savage nature puts into them. They can be the body rhythms of the savage dance or the rhythms which arouse frenzy and low human passions. I do not speak of a "group" of people which others call "savage"--I refer to the ones of any society which are lacking in advanced or complex culture and those who are cruel and violent. The best example which I witness comes from the violent cacophony and mayhem of that which you refer to as Hard Metal Rock wherein the beat, the noise and the lyrics are all violent and totally adversarial to peace and balance.
The first point which I wish to emphasize at this part of the example is that the action creates sound only, but the rhythm manifests IDEA, and IDEA is not created. Emotions of every form can spring from sound, but the emotions are NOT IN thesound. The emotions are in the creator of the sound and not in the sound but he interprets the emotions which are in him by the kind of sound he makes and those sounds awaken similar emotions in his listeners. It is not SOUND which does that; it is RHYTHM.
The second point which I now emphasize is that the rhythm and the emotion whichsprang from the sound manifest the nature of their creator. They are like their creator. They are made in his image.If they spring from his Mind, they are as spiritual as his Mind-awareness is spiritual in measure.
The third point which I now emphasize is that physical expressions come first, for man is first savage. The rhythms which he first puts into his sounds are physical. They make the body move, and that body movement is controlled by the rhythm which the creator of the sound puts into it. The savage rhythm may put frenzy into the body movement. The beat of that frenzied rhythm is very much syncopated and distorted. The beat of the IDEA which that man manifests--the IDEA of his self in its present stage of unfolding of the everchanging MAN-IDEA.
If you have followed this thought understandingly, you will more fully understand how BODIES grow into patterns and forms and rhythms whichsimulate IDEA and impersonate their creator. If you do understand this, you will also comprehend that the sound body which the savage man created will repeat and reflect its image into other man-bodies which have within them the very self-image of the creator of that frenzied sound.
We have thus painted a word picture of how early man manifests his physical self through making sound-bodies which image his emotional stage of unfolding, and those sound-bodies which he has created reflect their stage of unfolding into other man-bodies at an equal stage of unfolding. We have, however, confined this example to the early stage of physical unfolding into which the spiritual has not yet entered. Let us now rapidly advance through other stages up to the spiritual, inspirational and intellectual stage of genius man. In so doing, we wish to emphasize another great fact of higher knowledge which will be better comprehended by postulating it as follows:
1. Man expresses his unfolding nature in one way only-- through repetitive, rhythmic action. The first or mortal stage of his unfolding is evidenced by the measure of unbalance in the rhythms of interchange between his actions and their reactions.
2. During his entire stage of physical unfolding, the decisions which prompt his actions and reactions are always unbalanced and unrhythmic because he always takes without thought of balanced giving. He has not yet reached that point in his unfolding where love has entered it with sufficient strength and comprehension to base the patterns of his interchanging upon the balanced rhythms of mal giving and re-giving. That stage is still very far ahead to the many, but the few are entering its doors right now and are being illumined with the divine Light of their own immortality.
3. During the mortal stage, before immortal God-awareness unfolds in him, every rhythmic expression of his entire individual and institutional existence accentsbody-awareness. After the transition point has passed in which sensual man merges into intellectual man, every rhythmic expression accents Mind-awareness and body-forgetfulness.
The last line of the third postulate is what we wish to accentuate at this point. The spirit of uncreated Nature is divine and never becomes a part of created Nature. Awareness of the CREATOR within the CREATED comes slowly, but only through the balanced rhythms of the universal heartbeat. That majestic ONE-TWO, ONE-TWO, ONE-TWO rhythm of balanced interchange between the divided sex-conditioned father and mother bodies which constitute Creation is the only rhythm which frees the body from its mortal awareness. Complete forgetfulness of bodyalways accompanies the arrival of any individual, or institution, at that high amplitude point in all wave vibrations where wave motion merges into decentrated stillness. That wave-fulcrum point in all physical expression is where body motion ends and begins in stillness. Bodies cannot be aware of bodies at that high spiritual point. Passions and other unbalanced emotions are impossible at that point of silence which divides sound.
One could not possibly listen to the great masters of symphony and give vent to unbalanced emotions, or plan to steal or kill, or even plan any physical action, whatsoever, if one had reached that high point where his own intellect reached the immortal intellect of the composer. All of the works of every great genius synchronize with the rhythm of the universal heartbeat. That is the immortal rhythm, the balanced rhythm which is the basis for the universal language of Light which God makes use of to talk to you when you are ready to listen. You breathe in that rhythm andyou also walk in that ONE-TWO immortal rhythm. Every great genius knows that language and interprets God's words to you in balanced rhythms within which are the silences of the uncreated. Many people do not know that they are hearing God's Voice when they reach awareness of those silences within and between those ONE-TWO rhythmic sounds. Have you not often heard people say that a symphony has no meaning for them for they often find themselves put to sleep while listening? They do not realize that they have become so ecstatically attuned to the universal heartbeat that they have been forced to forget their bodies. That is one evidence of progress in spiritual unfolding which means one's intellectual unfolding.
When the mother sings a lullaby to put her baby to sleep, she adopts the balanced universal rhythm and lowers its tempo below the tempo of the human heartbeat. That forces the child to forget its body to seek that silence from which its body came. Contrast this rhythm with the ONE-TWO-THREE rhythm of the waltz, which has the symmetry of the pyramid instead of the cube symmetry of the ONE-TWO rhythm. The joyful rhythm of the Blue Danube waltz will just compel one to dancejoyfully to that divided rhythm, for its very division is symmetrical and each of its three divisions is balanced and equal. The ONE-TWO rhythm has the symmetry of the square and the cube, and the ONE-TWO-THREE rythm has the symmetry of the triangle and pyramid.
The symmetry of the waltz can be better comprehended if you make six pyramids of equal size and put them together. They become a cube. The symmetry of the waltz is, therefore, one-sixth of a cube, which equals a pyramid. In this three-dimensional universe, the length, breadth and thickness of the pyramid is three, but six pyramids within a cube constitute three pairs if you divide them to take a waltz rhythm out of a cube. The undivided cube is nine in its unity, which is made up from it's three inner planes that give length, breadth and thickness and it's six boundary planes. By repeating the nine of nature's light-wave field symmetry, an accent is forcibly injected into the position of rest in the heartbeat symmetry. This compels the body to continue its action instead of resting. It is a wonderful sensation, a happy and joyous sensation, but it is still an unbalanced physical expression. It is a cultured physical expression, however, for it contains a great measure of the spiritual rhythm in it, as it is a happy rhythm, not a frenzied one.
The three of the waltz rhythm is also an unbalanced expression, for three triangles, or triangular pyramids, cannot unite as ONE in Nature. UNITY is possible only with balanced pairs such as you see in the unity of a pair of hemispheres which constitute a sun. In the octave wave, four pairs unite as one to conform to the balanced cube-spheres of Nature, while the waltz rhythm includes but three pyramid pairs to constitute a cube-sphere, which is not enough for octave symmetry.
The above may be a bit difficult for you to comprehend when thus stated in words, but you MUST comprehend it. You must FULLY comprehend it, and you can, for it is basically quite simple. It is only the necessity of trying to describe it in words that makes it seem complex. To really simplify this great principle of higher knowledge for you so you will see why it is so necessary for you and this primate world to understand it, we will exemplify it in action instead of words. This example will be your first lesson in the deep meaning of rhythm in Nature.
We begin in this manner. Find a comfortable big chair and locate yourself in it comfortably. Now become conscious of your own body rhythms. Feel your own pulse beat. Familiarize yourself with not only its heartbeat rhythm but its tempo.Do not hurry this process for we can better demonstrate its relation to the heartbeat of Nature and to the cube-sphere wave-fields of Nature if you develop a conscious awareness of that rhythm. Next become conscious of your in-breathing, out-breathing sequences.You can become more conscious of them by folding your hands together over your stomach. You can then see your breathings because your hands will move up and down as you inhale to compress and exhale to expand.
When you have watched this effect until the rhythm of it has enabled you to count its ONE-TWO, ONE-TWO beat, then slowly hum Gounod's Ave Maria, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, or even Home Sweet Home as you breathe, and note that your hands will always be down on the ONE beat and always up on the TWO beat. Now try it by humming "Rock-a-bye-baby--on the tree-top--When the bough breaks," etc. Note the similar effect. Now reduce the tempo of the lullaby below the tempo of your heart beat and you will find that your pulse lowers and your breathings lengthen their cycles. If you logically continue this experiment, you will put yourself to sleep. The reason for that is an important point which we must emphasize. You arrive at a balance point of rest between action and reaction at every beat of the uniting pair. That is the only rhythm in all musical expression where such a thing happens. It is, therefore, the only rhythm in music, chemistry, sex, business, government, science or education where the perfect unity of marriage between the pairs of opposites, which create bodies, can possibly be consummated. Rest, peace and happiness can, likewise, be attained only when interchange between mental and physical matehood in every transaction of Nature is rhythmically balanced.
We will now compare this balanced sex rhythm of the universal breath with the ONE-TWO-THREE rhythm of the waltz, and especially ask you doctors to note it carefully for there is a whole "therapy" in the principle of rhythmic effects upon people.
Now repeat the same experiment by using the Blue Danube waltz as your basis.In order to better demonstrate it, substitute humming it in words. Breathe it in sounds like Ha - ha - ha, Ha - ha - ha. You will now find that the ONE of the waltz is accented and takes all of your out-breathing, while the two of your in-breathing is divided right in the middle of the intake or compression stroke. Complete, balancedunity can never be accomplished that way in nature. A residue of unbalance is left over which prevents such a balanced matehood as you would find in sodium-chloride or in the unity of a completely balanced mate-hood of a husband and wife who have actually found balance in each other.
It is the RESIDUE OF UNBALANCE in all mismatings which is the basis of every trouble in the world, its ills, its frustrations, its wars, sicknesses, enmities, bankruptcies and all other effects which you call BAD and to not like to have happen to you.This RESIDUE OF UNBALANCE in your civilization of today is your immediate concern. The measure of it in every man's life, and in national and international relations, is the gauge of your present status of world-disunity which places the world in a low state of its unfolding. It is far from its balance point between its spiritual and physical expressions. It is at least 1,000 years awayfor the masses but, fortunately, a probable ten percent have arrived at its very door. Those who are among that ten percent will fully comprehend these teachings and apply them for their own transcendency, but to the other ninety percent these teachings will have no more meaning than The Moonlight Sonata would have for a man of the jungle.
This RESIDUE OF UNBALANCE is the answer as to whether there is SUCH A THING AS SATAN, OR EVIL, OR SIN. Everything that man calls BAD, or EVIL, or SIN in his life is due to his own inability to balance his actions or his life. Ignorance of God's Presence in him is the cause of that. Therefore he hurts himself and blames it upon an evil being. As man unfolds his spiritual nature, sin and evil disappear in the measure of that unfolding. Every Illuminate has described as the yea first symptoms of his illumination that all sense of sin, evil or shame disappears.
You can see by the tremendous residue of unbalance there is in every human life, and every human institution, how very primate the human race is and how far it is from even an approach to unity and, remember, UNITY IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT BALANCED RHYTHMIC INTERCHANGE BETWEEN EVERY TRANSACTION OF LIFE.
Just a little aside for you to have clue to "receivers and speakers" for the higher energies. Watch what the performer does. The point of contact is total balance. You will NEVER see Dharma do anything at all when we "tune in". We tell her we are present by total absence of unbalanced "showmanship". Sometimesmuscle "twitch" may be witnessed as her body becomes relaxed and balanced or as we are allowed to signal the nervous system to utilize expression--but the energy frequency and vibrations are totally balanced. If you have huffing and puffing like a bloated toad frog or dancing and twitching like a lizard--you have a whole bunch of BS headed your way. God is balance--we are of God, so you might guess wherefrom comes most of the "speakers" and "authors" who flit from energy to energy like the butterfly and blink on an off like the firefly.
Let us return to the waltz rhythm. Again, you can see that the physical effect of the residue of unbalance can be quite uplifting for it is joyous. It is but one beat away from the universal heartbeat rhythm. Now contrast those balanced THREES with the terrifically unbalanced distortions of jazz. If you comprehend that which is written above, you will readily understand the brutal, ugly, frenzied syncopations which constitute the worse than jungle rhythms of the Jazz Age. Every beat of it calls for body movement--and thus comes the pleasure of the gyrations of the dance, body-shaking, sex-inviting movement, which is so far from even a countable beat rhythm that one could not even dance to it. The great masses who love jazz are a commentary and gauge of the standard of your civilization as a whole--and what did you do? You moved right on into that worse cacophony called rock, hard rock and then when that was not frenzied enough--metal rock. To demonstrate the principle laid down in the above writings, we are printing wave diagrams of all three of the rhythms above mentioned, including the march, which is the ONE-TWO rhythm except much increased beyond the breathing cycle tempo. The march is intentionally an ACTION rhythm, a joyous work rhythm. It is a ONE-TWO rhythm multiplied into ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR by doubling the tempo. (See Fig. 7)
We are now arriving at that stage of higher knowledge where you can have a perfectly intelligent summation of what your own life lacks and how to remedy it, or what the world-life lacks and its remedy. All of it can be reduced to lack of knowledge of the sex principle as God gives it to you in the light-waves of His thinking.
We continue to say that the entire principle of Creation, with all of its secrets, lies in every wave unit of light. We cannot teach you anything beyond that for there is nothing to know beyond it. In the higher dimensions there is only more and more refinement of the practicing principle. All of the knowledge you can or will acquire does not exceed the knowledge of how to reach the balanced amplitude of the wave in your every transaction, and in your life and return to the stillness of its beginning for repetition.
Your life is just a series of experiments in trying to learn that lesson. Civilization, as a whole, is also trying to learn that lesson. It is not easy to learn for man hasbeen learning it for ages and has not yet begun to know the first principles of unity. That we can most safely say, for the practice which leads to unity means the givingof loving service to another and the equal re-giving by that other. As all men are ONE, each one gives to the WHOLE and the WHOLE regives equally.
Man is still in his TAKING stage. Man's world is still taking and breeding fear. Love has not yet entered into it. Unity is still far away. The reason for that is because every institution on Earth today is still in its physical stage where its values are material. Man does not even know what is the matter with man or with hiscivilization. He does not yet know God, or man, or his universe. He does not even know God's purpose, His ways or His processes.
We have written long pages about the principle of rhythm in music which applies as equally to government, industry or sex as it does to music. We did it as our first step in leading you to comprehend the oneness of all things and the necessity of acquiringBALANCED UNITY in all things, all transactions, all institutions of man and all effects of Nature. We laid down that principle in the words UNDIVIDED--DIVIDED (into pairs) and UNITED. I have emphasized the fact that no pairs can be united until they are BALANCED and EQUAL, and that DISUNITY results from the marriage of unequal opposites.
We have done this to also emphasize the fact that God has but ONE IDEA, the IDEA of Creation. He divides that ONE IDEA into countless many units, but all units of every IDEA--like man--are ONE. Also all units of all idea are ONE. We did it also to emphasize the fact that IDEA is never created. It is but simulated, or manifested, by motion. More particularly, we emphasized it to reveal to you that all-knowledge and all-power resided solely in IDEA, and that the measure of a man's knowledge is the measure of his comprehension of IDEA and not in the measure of his ability to observe and memorize effects of motion which simulate IDEA.
If you have followed with us so far and comprehend what has been written, you are now ready for the ONE THING that man has NEVER KNOWN, the greatest of all secrets which has long awaited man's readiness for comprehension. If man had ever discovered that secret, you would have been ever so much farther along in yourefforts to produce an enduring, balanced civilization. But then, all things come in their own time of proper sequence. Is it not wondrous to realize the time is now at hand and YOU are privileged to share? It is unfortunate, but natural, for a man-civilization to unfold as slowly as man himself, who changes but little in many long centuries and then thrusts ahead in giant leaps in others.
The following units will be devoted to giving this higher knowledge of man's greatest unknown secret of sensation and consciousness to you in as simple words and diagrams as possible--you will recognize them for we labored over them prior to this--but you need the unfolding so that that which was missed in the original presentation can now be more clearly comprehended step by repeated step. When the world knows that secret and the processes of emergence of matter from space, you and it will then know what is the matter with your chaotic civilization and also how to remedy it.
If some sage could but tell you what is the matter with the world, you might, perhaps, fix it. Your quandary is that you do not know! Yes, that is the quandary.You do not know. The purpose of the following messages is to give the world that knowledge. Even then, man is slow to change existing conditions, but knowledge is power and the great power back of that knowledge will cause man sooner or later toheed it. It seems paradoxical to say that great suffering is more conducive to spiritual unfolding than that kind of happiness which results from physical prosperity. When man has created conditions which cause him to suffer, he invariably turns to God. Let us try to reverse that process and have him turn to God FIRST.
I eagerly await our onward unfolding unto you the one great principle of action which alone will bring the permanent peace, prosperity and happiness for which the world has been long and hopelessly seeking.

CHAPTER 4
REC #3 GERMAIN
SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1991 2:58 P.M. YEAR 4, DAY 345
It is necessary to change the trend of thinking as ones advance into later discussion. You begin this in the language of your traditional training which has always been directed toward the development of the OUTER-senses. We must awaken the INNER-perception, not the outer. Our purpose is to illumine the Mind, not to inform the body. We must come into awareness of your immortality which dwells within your mortal body and is programmed and controls it.
It is necessary to find a new language for such new thinking. By a new language, we mean other ways of expressing thoughts with unfamiliar words or combinations of them. You will find yourselves thinking much differently as you advance and thewords which express that different thinking become more and more familiar to you as you gradually become transformed from outer-thinkers to inner-thinkers. However, we are stuck with pre-established words and must use that which is given already so we will move along in explanations as we see inquiries popping up.
I have told you that all geniuses and mystics think, see and hear inwardly, while all who have not yet unfolded spiritually to that stage sense objectively, which is outward through their senses. Those who do become transformed to inner-thinkers learn how to acquire knowledge from its Source instead of being informed of effect through the motion of their senses.
The ultimate of such a transmutation is Cosmic Consciousness, and that means that your Mind becomes aware of its Oneness with God's Mind. Mortal man gradually, or suddenly, becomes aware of his immortality.
The Science of Man is a study which leads up to that awareness of the immortality of the Being, which is within every mortal body. Everyone's Identity and Intelligence are within that body which you have for too long believed to be your real selves.
It is not surprising that it becomes difficult at times to think or reason it out, but time and meditation bring about that transformation until that which was at first mystifying becomes as clear as a bell.
I am asked for a bit more explanation of what I mean by inner vision, inner eyes and inner ears. It becomes obvious that ones who are involved actually can see and hear what is not there to see and hear and that is very real indeed. But the explanation is a bit blurred.
The best way to respond is by exemplifying it. Let us take Beethoven for our first example. He has eyes and ears on his body just as you have. Somebody speaks to you, which Beethoven could hear with his ears if he stood beside you as well as you could. You both hear the sounds equally.
Now, imagine yourself sitting near Beethoven. Everything is silent, but Beethoven hears sounds coming out of that silence which you do not hear. He hears glorious, inspiring, uplifting sounds which you cannot possibly hear. Pretty soon he takes apencil and a sheet of music manuscript and writes down what he hears. Even then you cannot hear it, but he can. He then sits at the piano and translates the sounds which he heard within the silence into sounds that you can now hear with the ears of your body.
That is what is meant by inner ears. They are the ears of the Mind. The same thing applies to inner eyes, or inner vision. The great painter who sits near you can see a great allegory rising out of that nothingness which surrounds you both. He can see horses and chariots, and many beautiful figures and brilliant colors on this gray day, colors which are not physically there. They are spiritually there, however, for he can see them as clearly as you can see the curtains which are waving in the breeze of the open window.
Let us honor Nikola Tesla as an example. This great man designed everything he produced, first, in the dimension of thought. He was able to relate so clearly to each detail and working part that he could actually operate the apparatus and literally study the "wear" areas. He was so vivid in his inner vision that he would be shocked that those about him saw nothing.
Think about it a moment--a room full of people who are hearing the same sounds and seeing the same objects with the ears and eyes of their bodies but many of them are hearing sounds which are not in the room, and seeing things and people who are not there. The engineer in the corner, for example, can plainly see the four arches of a great bridge which he has created out of the silence and nothingness of space. He is so engrossed in it that he has become what is termed "absent-minded". That is not an appropriate term for the fact is just the reverse, for he has become "fully-Minded" instead of being "sensed". He has forgotten body to such an extent that when spoken to he is forced to ask that the words be repeated. The ears of his body did not hear them. He really became "absent-bodied" instead of "absent-minded".
You really live a physical or material life and a spiritual immaterial one at the same time. The spiritual life is the creative one, and the physical life is the one which works with one's body to give form to the Mind-creations of those who have inner vision. Think of that for a while. If you do, you come to the conclusion that you must either be a creator and have others work to give bodies to your creations, or be one of the workers who makes those bodies. Or if you are a musician, painter or author, you can have the added joy of creating both the idea and the body of it. Such creators are the highest of your intellectuals. God, Himself, is the great example of being both Creator and Creation.
This explanation could clarify for you what is meant by developing your innersensory perception until you become wholly Mind at times--which the state of Cosmic Consciousness transforms one into being.
QUESTION: Some people claim that an idea must be fully conceived in one's Mind before trying to give it a body, and others say that all bodies are created by the process of reasoning, which means one step at a time in which each step you take tells you what the next step should be. Will you comment on this?
RESPONSE: Every idea must first be conceived as a mind-creation before becoming the body-form of that idea. Bodies unfold from their seed patterns. The whole of the oak is in the seed of it. The oak does not just start as part of an idea and then add more and more to it; the whole idea is in its conception, and all of it is enfolded in the Mind-record of that idea which we call a seed.
One creates only that which one knows, and he creates through Mind-control over body. By that we mean that every brush stroke which is added to any unfolding idea is done KNOWINGLY, and not reasoned experimentally.
One reasons with his senses, not with his Mind. His senses have observed certain effects. That is not the creative process. It is an imitative process which results from remembering and repeating instead of thinking what one KNOWS.
Let me example. Beethoven conceived the whole idea and motive of the Moonlight Sonata in his Mind before he wrote a note of it. He could not possibly have reasoned that motive into being, for his senses could not create. They could only remember and repeat. If, therefore, a man sits down to the piano and tries to create a masterpiece by reasoning it into being, he only writes down things which he has heard from others. This was tried by a music publisher in an effort to produce a lot of new popular songs for night club singers and to make records from. He employed a group of song writers who studied even classical music to see what kind of music combinations produced different emotions like pathos, mirth, joy, excitement and other such effects which song writers try to produce. With this equipment, they reasoned and experimented bypassing it along through the whole group. Each tried what the other had done and added to it. Finally, they played the whole song and sent it through the mill again to fill in the defects which they criticized. If the song needed more pathos, they gaveit to a certain man who was good at that, or another who could give it a little more life in a dull spot.
In this manner, they produced a dozen or two songs a day and made records which sold into the thousands for a month or two, but then they were as dead as last week's newspaper is dead. The average life of those songs was not more than two months, whereas a creation as simple as "Home Sweet Home" or "Annie Laurie" outlives generations, and those in the class of the Moonlight Sonata outlive the ages.
Things produced by reason and experiment are plagiarisms, not creations. A good example of our meaning is the man who reads a hundred novels to get ideas for writing a novel of his own. His own novel is an assemblage of the ideas he has remembered in those he read. In total, it is a plagiarism from a hundred sources instead of from one source which it would be if he copied all of one novel instead of copying--or imitating--parts of a hundred novels.
Do not misinterpret herein as you deal with historic truths. There is only one Truth in actuality and it is given forth in its various manners through various speakers--but do you see, it cannot be different from the original Truth? In theseinstances of historical bringing forth of Truth one must use that which is already available and enlarge and explain further so that man can come into understanding. What your physical senses cannot tell you is that the great Masters who began to perfect their workin a physical experience--next come forth and give that which they had begun and add to and finish their work. Ones who serve as scribes only present the work as given and the honor and genius remains with the original entity Soul who produced it before. No greater honor can be given to man than that a Master return to give more unto his brothers.
Ah yes, much rock-throwing has been sent at this scribe and yet, if you have read the myriad subjects and writings--there is no way she could choose the subject matter to this level of perfection. She claims no greatness nor genius--she writes that which God asks that she put to record for His purposes. We do not talk of the fantasy novels--we speak of the Truth of Life and it is obvious that all single productions thus far have not been sufficient unto the whole of knowledge. Dharma comes by her KNOWLEDGE in the same manner in which you all must learn.
Let us look at something more tangible and familiar to all of you. Let us apply this idea to an invention such as the automobile. In its very beginning, it may be an original created idea or it, too, may be a reasoned production. You know what the automobile of fifty years ago looked like as compared to what it looks like today. What has happened to produce that change? Someone reasons that if you do some little thing to change a carburetor, it will give better service. And so all down the line from body to fender, from glass in the doors to the tires upon which the car rolls, and from the springs to the cushions upon which one sits, many men and many factories reason the old shapes and forms into new shapes and forms, but that is not a mental creative process; it is a sensed-reasoned process.
Dharma doesn't reason these writings nor does she create them--she is one who puts the records to print. She does, however, have communion with the higher energies in total comfort and explicit communication. Perhaps that is her reward forthe service rendered, for she is also a most creative person who willingly gives unto us the service and sets aside her own wondrous talents. Then others take the printed pages and correct the spellings, put them to press, bind them, ship them, record them and on and on--each setting aside his own wondrous talent of creativity to serve where the need is present. In fact, Dharma, works her way out of a job--and she laughs and does so as rapidly as she can--so she can get on with her own creativity. You see, what we do here teaches all of you to commune with God and that puts a receiver out of a job! Blessings and so be it.
George and Oberli, for instance, would far rather be building a wondrous underground complex of tunnels and domes with grand botanical gardens--but they read, and teach and support--to give unto you the WORD for that is their first purpose! This, according to the decree of God working through the Hosts and Brotherhood. These ones are extensions of us, on the ground.
We speak of inspiration. What is inspiration? Well, it is not that which the dictionary tells you as far as speaking with God. The book says: A supernatural influence which qualifies men to receive and communicate divine Truth. But is it "supernatural"? It simply shows through that definition that little is understood ofhow one talks to God--and that is exactly what inspiration is. Early writers spoke of the Bible as an "inspired" work. It meant that certain prophets or mystics had supernatural powers which enabled them tointerpret God's commands and instructions--sometimes properly and most often incorrectly. That is not literally true, then, for it is NOT supernatural. It is natural, for everyone will in time discover his own divinity and be able to talk to God at will from moment to moment.
In the ordinary sense of the word, "inspired" means to be exalted mentally into a highly spiritual state where the physical in you is forgotten and the spiritual state is predominant. You feel inspired when you hear or think beautiful music or glorious art. That is the Voice of Nature (which God is) talking to you. It is an uplift from the material to the spiritual. Anyone who has learned the art of deep meditation can step from the mundane material world into the inspirational world of high mentalexaltation at will. It is said of Mozart that he forgot his debts that way, which means that he could escape from all worldly affairs by seeking the bliss of inspiration.
I am now going to repeat a question which was so well defined and so typical that it bears reproduction at every opportunity. We are grateful when ones bringattention to themselves in ways they find quite negative and embarrassing but these are the honest questions all need to ask.
QUESTION: "I have been brought up in a family which believes implicitly in prayer." (The word "implicit" tells you much right off at the start for "implicit" indicates lack of explicit definition.) "My father and mother both spend muchtime in prayer and I have become as much of a believer as they, probably because I was brought up that way. I am now a salesman in a branch of a big business and each day I pray that I may advance more and more to the possibility of becoming headsalesman, yet I do not produce the results which many others produce who do not constantly pray for God's guidance as I do. My parents continually tell me that my faith is not strong enough and that I must have more faith as they have. I am beginning to wonder about it all and to look at facts in the face. My father, for instance, has never really gotten anywhere in his business. He has been in exactly the same place in his business for over twenty years and keeps up a great faith and belief that he will be promoted, while others who have worked fewer years than he has have been promoted. My mother is an angel if ever a woman was, but she seems to get nowhere either.Her house stands as it was thirty years ago. She has faith that my father will win a promotion and waits until that happens to fulfill her home desires. I cannot understand it all. Everybody loves my parents, and me, too, yet we do not get on as others do. Have you any solution for my problem? I hope you have for I am beginning to develop a fear that I am repeating my father's experience in my own life."
RESPONSE: And now we get to the heart of it. We get countless letters from dear ones who ask this same thing over and over and over again. Your perception of God and how things function is incorrect--you are hurting yourself rather than rising to wondrous heights of success and abundance. We do have asolution for your self-made predicament. It is very clear, for there are many who pray very earnestly, in long wordy prayers, to ask God to do for them what they should do for themselves WITH Him. Your faith that He will drop the answer to your prayers in your lap is not God's way of "doing". You should read again what we say over and over:GOD WILL WORK WITH YOU BUT NOT FOR YOU. God will give to you as much as you give Him, and not an iota more. We mean by that that the farmer who gives more service to his crops will be given more crops. It may well be that the farmer may have never issued one wordy prayer in his whole life, but his lifedemonstrates the power of prayer more than your life demonstrates it, because he LIVES prayer rather than THINKS ABOUT IT.
We will go back a moment and again look at the meaning of prayer. The meaning you give it is to perpetually request that God do something for you. Such prayers are requests for favors. Prayers should not be requests; they should be communions. They should be moment-to-moment actions and reactions which spring from a desire to give and be regiven. The farmer works with God and God works with the farmer whether the farmer is aware of it or not. He is obeying God's law--and that is prayer in action. He does not rely upon faith that his crop will be big. He relies upon his knowledge that it will be big because he does those things which God commands him to do to make it big. He fully knows that Nature will do its part, even if he does not think of Nature and God as being one.
Your trouble is that you have created a condition where you must remain static. If you had no faith at all but had knowledge that work given by you will bear the fruits of your work, you would be better off if you never prayed. Faith too often means wishful thinking and laziness. Or it might mean ignorance. Too often do we hear it quoted that enough faith will remove mountains or at the least, move them, but we note that the man who has engineering knowledge can remove mountains, and does, while the man of faith can stare at them with wishful thinking and endless prayers for a whole lifetime and they will not budge one inch.
It is thus true with ones who are going to do great and wondrous things with meditation such as teach ones to ascend as with the Ascended Masters, etc. I can say right off, that they will never accomplish it for if they are bounded to theteaching of such a thing--they have no notion of that which they are doing--which is damage if nothing less. How many people have you seen simply ascend? It is like waiting for the rapture--God does not function in that manner. You had better be figuring a way to get cleared with God so He gets His Hosts to pick you up--and that requires cleaningup your actions and intent and living according to the laws of God--prayers from the tongue and lips are naught, for almost all say one thing and live another.
When you utter these long, wordy prayers to God, what do you think God is and where do you think you will find Him? We have found that those who pray volubly with words believe that God is somewhere outside of themselves, like some king on a throne to whomthey issue an appeal or supplication. They have a feeling that if they pray long and loudly enough, and with sufficient earnestness and piety, He will hear them and grant them the favors they ask. But He has already told you that He is within so why all the shouting and performing?
When you at long last learn that your Father and you are ONE, you will then know that God is not afar, sitting upon a cloud, listening to the appeals of lazy wishful thinkers. You will eventually find that God is within you as MIND, His Mind and your Mind being ONE. You will then know that you are ONE with the one Creator. Knowing that, you will then know that you, yourself, must CREATE THAT WHICH YOU DESIRE. You will then know that God is giving you what you desire but you, as creator, must do your part of the creating and know that God will do His part.
All of this boils down to your wrong conception of God and His ways and processes, and also your wrong conception of the meaning of prayer. Perhaps you will better understand the meaning when we tell you that we remain in constant, moment-to-moment communionand we do not indulge in word prayers. For one thing, a communion with God is for the ONE of you and not of anyone else's business--your relationship with God is the most personal and sacred of all your actions and interactions. If you desire to prayaloud, so be it--but the speech usually turns out to be a performance for the benefit of those present--not yourself.
Further--we do not bow nor do we kneel, for He has taught us to glorify Him by being Him and to never assume the attitude of being worms at His feet. If we are on our knees we only require that He function from His knees and it is a most foolish way to get your work done. Worse, if you pray to us as some sort of God instead of friend here to assist--you cause us great disadvantage for we shall never place ourselves higher than you and if you lay prone to commune with us--we have to work from similar position.
This is the way to lose God, not to find Him. The moment you put yourself apart from Him in this foolishness, you place yourself apart from Him. God never leaves you but, my beloved ones, you continually leave Him. Oneness means exactly that--ONEness, not a superior and inferior, or high and low--ONEness. The more you can cultivate the companionship of God's Presence as co-worker with you, the more you will be enabled to reach that ecstatic state of Oneness with Him.
Next, the biggie inquiry: Why does God take the baby or the child and allow the old or infirm or drunkard to live?
Well, the presumption is totally incorrect from onset of question. And yet the church ministers spout the same until you are saturated with it. GOD ONLY GIVES. GOD DOES NOT TAKE. God is LOVE and the only thing He gives is Love. God is not merciful, but God is the Law and JUST. If man defies the law and jumps over a cliff, the law of gravity will work without fail. Any man who does such a thing shows himself no mercy. Why BLAME it on God? God gave man the law to work for him. It is GOOD for it is an expression of His LOVE. If one works against the law instead of with it, should you expect God to set aside that law instead of allowing man to learn the lesson of it? What kind of world would you have if God set aside every lawthat man violated so that man could not possibly hurt himself? There may as well be no law and that is the way you practice your lives in this day--breaking EVERY lawof God and most of those of Creation--to your very destruction as a place and species. If there were no laws of God and/or Creation then man need never learn any of the lessons of life which Creation intended by being divided into CAUSE and EFFECT.
If that is what you call mercy, you could justly claim that God should be merciful to you and not allow you to punish yourself by eating arsenic or sniffing cyanide. Every law of God is an expression of Love and if you live by the Law you shall be indeed blessed. Every action of that expression is an equal interchange between people and things in Nature. The whole lesson of life is to learn how to obey that law of Love by equal giving and regiving.
If your son has died then it is an effect of some cause which arose in himself, or in you, or in his environment. It was law being fulfilled in any case. You cannot compare it with an older and useless man who still lives because he has not subjectedhis body to a condition for its destruction. You can as justly blame God for allowing a small oak to die because its roots were in rocky soil while allowing a big oak to live even if half of its limbs have been destroyed by lightning.
The point you ones ignore, and must not, is that, in the event of the death of a child, for instance, the child's body disappeared but the identity of the boy is eternal, and his body will as surely reappear as the apple of next August reappears from the same Source as the apple of last August. Grieve, yes, but the grief is for your own loss--not the one departed.
When you finally learn that a man cannot die and that God is Love only, you will find much more happiness in life. But that is one of life's lessons--and there are many lessons to learn. As with these writings--the one who originally wrote these nearly same messages a generation or more past--is departed and yet he lives and today through different hands he, himself, sits as I give them again as I did unto him--that his work may find fruition in Radiance. God gives and gives again--God NEVER TAKES.
This is sufficient unto this day, chela. We have looked with hope and anticipation to the day when we would have sufficiently advanced chelas (students) and sibors (the ones prepared to reveal the laws) to whom the doors could open to the higher knowledge which mankind must eventually acquire in order to build a UNITED civilization as a whole, or a united home as an individual.
The greatest of all underlying, principles of a living universe is BALANCE. God has said that if He could give one word unto man that he might KNOW, it is the one word--Balance. And if man requires two words, those two words would be BALANCED INTERCHANGE. And if man needs three words instead of two, those three words would be RHYTHMIC BALANCED INTERCHANGE.
So, we have covered other things as we work toward preparation of your learning while we efforted to make you know God's universe and His ways and processes of Creation. Now that we have done this adequately to arrive at a stage ofcomprehension which has led into the invisible as far as it has led into the visible, we now return to those words to tell you that your life and our universe turn upon their comprehension and their practice.
These three words--and more especially the ONE word BALANCE-- are the very foundation of every aspect of life. The higher knowledge which we are giving in these lessons is based upon them. How well you may comprehend them measures your power to act them. You are the sum total of your actions. If your actions conform to the meaning of those three words, you have the whole mighty power of the universe as yours to command.
It may be many generations before a sufficient number of spiritually intellectual humans comprehend these three words sufficiently to know that they are obligated to practice them, to affect our civilization to become a united one, but the only way your civilization can ever be united is to comprehend and practice their intent.
That does not seem very encouraging for a One World of peace and happiness which people seem to believe is just around the corner "if we could but just stop wars". There is more to it than just stopping wars, for the cause of all wars is FEAR, and man is the supreme creator of fear. In fact, FEAR is man's greatest product, and it IS man's product solely, for fear does not and cannot exist in Nature.
Fear and disunity are one, and your world in its present day is more conspicuously disunited than at any time in its history. Do you not realize that a disunited or dividedhouse cannot stand? How is it, then, that you expect this civilization to stand against the inviolate law it is defying?
Well, our mission, which we have accepted, is to give answers to these questions so that you may make your own life supreme in order that you may become the seed for making other lives supreme. This is our purpose of these lessons which will transcend anything ever taught in the educational traditions of your world.
My blessings unto you as you enter these doors to the new and higher knowledge which will open as the lotus of the Cosmos unto you INSTEAD OF JUST ITS SIMULATION IN MOTION.
In the wondrous and perfection of the flame of transmutation all things are possible and the transition is assured. Salu, Salu, Salu.
Within the violet ray of the Mighty I AM Presence, I humbly offer my service.
I AM----GERMAIN
