The  Supreme  Gift

Martin Exeter  November 29, 1987 pm

I would like to draw attention to the supreme gift which all of us have had opportunity to receive. Perhaps it might be said that in many respects it was spoiled. The gift of which I speak is the spirit of our King. This has been offered over many years in many ways. The Word has been spoken, the Tone sounded, the gift made freely available. Each of us here gathered this evening is quite aware of this, I’m sure. What has been done with that gift? To what extent has it been received?

There is the habit at Christmastime for people to give gifts to each other, and usually in these days those gifts are not wrapped in newspaper. There is very fancy paper available, and ribbon and bows available to decorate the wrapping. Most of us I suppose, upon receiving a gift, may admire the wrapping, but we are probably more interested in finding out what the gift is. I think there has been a tendency with respect to this gift of which I have been speaking, the spirit of the King, to leave it a good deal under wraps. We know what the gift is, or at least we think we do. We have the evidence of it—the wrapping, the decorations—but to what extent has that gift been opened up and received for what it really is?

There have been many associated with this Emissary ministry over the years who appreciated the wrapping and the freshness that was maintained in that regard, but we all know that it is the gift itself that is important. But it has little importance unless it is received—the wrappings removed, so to speak—so that it may be present with us and in our immediate experience: the spirit of the King. No doubt we have received something of this into our living—that’s what the gift is for—and have been blessed thereby, which could well be cause for thanksgiving. The total receiving of this gift would engender total thanksgiving. If total thanksgiving is present, then obviously there could be no complaint. As I say, the Word has been spoken, quite consistently I believe. I think it has been spoken just about as much as could be borne, and the Tone sounded so that all might hear.

To know the spirit of the King we all realize that it must be received into expression. Here is the most magnificent gift that could possibly be given to anyone. The spirit of thanksgiving has been increasing in recent months and years, and that increase has come because the gift has been received into the living experience of those who axe thereby caused to be thankful. The suggestion was made that we could well articulate our thankfulness, particularly whenever it seems that we would have something to complain about or to object to. Perhaps this is a small technique that could be used profitably, but the fact of the matter is that when the gift is received and the spirit of the King finds expression in our living, the spirit of thankfulness is known. We don’t have to hype it up; it’s part of the gift.

The gift is for radiant use. It is an outpouring of radiation, and to the extent that we have participated in the expression of the spirit of the King, we know this. It makes possible radiant vision. That’s the way we see things, no longer looking in the mirror. With radiant vision there comes radiant perception through all the facilities that have heretofore been used to examine the reflection in the mirror. Our ability to see, to perceive, is not for the purpose of receiving and being affected by what we see. The eyes are not merely present to acquaint us with what seems to be present in the environment and the circumstance. This is about all that human eyes are used for: “Let’s have a look.” But the eye is a radiant instrument. That is its primary reason for existence, not in order that we might get something out of our apparent environment because we are able to see it, but to permit radiance to shine forth.

The mind, which has been busy doing the interpreting of what comes in through the eye and through the other senses, is, we know, rightly a window of heaven, not a mirror. It is a window through which the light may shine. When this is the case Lucifer is restored to heaven. The light shines forth, and what is seen is seen radiantly. Part of that seeing, we noted this morning, is of the working of the creative process, a radiant vision based in the shining of the light which reveals what it is that is being brought forth in the creative process. We don’t need to see a reflection of something to understand that. The mirror mind is the satanic mind. There is so much reflection present in the mirror that it has blocked the shining of the light. The mirror mind creates separation.

Incidentally the mirror mind has been busy creating a self for itself. We have experience of this. This self is produced by gathering a great deal of material out of the past. We have what is called heredity. All this material is brought along and composes the main part of the mind itself, and out of this comes the sense of self which the mind is busy creating. We all have that sense of human self well established: a mental creation, coming up out of the subconscious mind and added to assiduously by the conscious mind—there are these characters walking around on earth, mind-made characters—and the mind gains thereby a sense of self and of identity.

It’s  all  artificial

This has been done over many generations and is accepted as being so by each newborn person quite rapidly. This self is a mirror, a mirror self, reflecting all these elements out of the past. Of course this is reinforced by general human agreement when a baby is given a name: “This is now who you are.” As I say, it’s reinforced because the name is registered! and, particularly in these days, sundry other registrations take place as the years go by, so that the person is more and more convinced of this mind-made identity. Everybody accepts it as being so, both for themselves and for each other; there is a general agreement. But because the majority may vote for it doesn’t make it so! This of course is the usual human approach in these days, that what the majority says must be right, majority rule. And politics gets mixed up in all this. There are lots of political identities around, but identities of all kinds, mind-created. This is consequent upon the fact of the mirror mind, which deals in the material that is reflected. That’s the material that is available to build this human identity.

But now we are aware of the window mind. The window mind has no need at all to create an identity, because what shines through the window mind is the identity. It isn’t a mind-made identity. It isn’t even a heaven-made identity. It is the one identity, namely the One I am. This is all a mystery to the mirror mind, but it is clear as day to the window mind. The window mind is Lucifer. The mirror mind is satan. As long as attention is taken up with what is reflected in the mirror, satan prevails and Lucifer is unknown. As the window mind begins to put in an appearance it does so because there is the shining of the light. The shining of the light illuminates the scene, and the scene is not at all as it was deemed to be in the mirror. It is a heavenly scene, it is a radiant scene: and there is no separation in what it is that puts in an appearance. We speak of heaven and earth as though they were two separate things; they are not. They are aspects of one thing; and when there is a window mind and the light is shining through it, one thing is seen, one thing is known. That one thing is the truth.

We come again with Lucifer present because the light shines. That has something to do with an Emissary of Divine Light, I believe— the truth of that. One doesn’t know the truth of it just by mouthing the words, but the truth of that reveals the King. It reveals the King in His kingdom— one thing. The King is not separate from His kingdom. He didn’t go on a journey. He has always been present in His kingdom. We haven’t known that because we haven’t been present in it.

But once again, receiving this gift without trying to manipulate it, but letting the light shine, there is an easy awareness of what it is that the gift really is. Mention was made earlier of a gift which was available at the beginning but which the mind was inclined to think it could work with. It seems to me that Emissaries have had the idea of “working with things,” and that we have minds so that we can think. Think what? Who is going to do the thinking? Is the mind not the window of heaven in the hands of the King, so that the light shining through it enables vision and understanding as to what it is that is happening in the creative process? Once there begins to be that, there is no necessity to try to manipulate something. It’s found to be beautiful, just wonderful.

Well what one has seen at the point of initiation is not all that will be seen as the light shines and the creative process continues. But what puts in an appearance doesn’t put in an appearance because the mind is manipulating anything, but because there begins to be a unification with the spirit of the King. That is what is moving, and it moves us. We don’t take hold of it and try to make it move anything. It moves us. And we find that it is a natural experience; now we know. Now we know what it is that needs to happen, what it is that is actually happening, and we can participate in the process. It unfolds. It is a delicate thing. It requires perception, but the perception is impossible without the shining of the light. The understanding only puts in an appearance because the light shines. And that requires a window mind, a very far cry from the mirror mind.

Utilizing the mirror mind we look into it and we see all sorts of things reflected there, and such things usually claim a person’s attention. But they are just a reflection, in the absence of the window mind. They are evidence of the absence of the window mind. Why pay so much attention to the reflection then? It doesn’t mean a thing; it isn’t really anything; it’s just a reflection. Let the reflection pass away and you have a clear glass through which the light may shine and there may be participation in the creative process because the King is present. He is the One who participates in the creative process; it isn’t the mind. It isn’t that arrogant creature which imagines that its thinking is so important. The mind presently, I suspect, would imagine that it has no purpose at all if it wasn’t thinking the way it is used to thinking. It has a purpose as a clear glass, transparent, doing nothing of itself, a complete absence of opinion. Then the light shines through. Heaven and earth are seen as being one, not two separate entities, just one. I don’t think we have a word for that, unless perhaps we speak of the kingdom of the King, which includes the all-that-is.

The window mind is Lucifer. The Morning Stars sing together—that’s an easy and a natural experience—and the sons of God shout for joy in the radiant outpouring of the spirit of the King. There can be no outpouring without the window. We may speak of these things. This is the wrapping of the gift. Receive the gift, now, and consequently forever.

Holy  Holy  Holy

Mentally we have all been so brash. The sea of glass, clear as crystal, which was mentioned, is before the throne of God—Lucifer, the transparent mind, through which the King speaks His Word and sounds the Tone of Life. In all we do, sensitive perception is needed to discern what it is that is ready to be born or brought forth. It is said that fools rush in where angels … are cautious, because they wait to see, to discern, what is needful. Always the right atmosphere is required at the point of initiation of anything. Then one may wait and become aware of what it is that is needful. If one doesn’t do this one will surely go off on a tangent, as it was put. The creative process continues to work, and if we are amenable it will bring us back off the tangent eventually. But why waste the time, as though it was necessary to the creative process? It isn’t. The creative process is very forgiving, and if one doesn’t go too far on a tangent it will bring you back. But there is a point of no return. Obviously it’s working through all this stuff on earth to get the job done. So we share the responsibility of doing what we are here to do, so that that job can be done. But it is done by the spirit of the King working in the creative process. It’s not done by the bright ideas of the human mind.

We share such an easy responsibility; it’s not taxing upon anyone. You don’t have to have a great intellect. As long as you have a mind at all, it’s all right! The intellect is arrogant and uses itself for its own ends. The window mind is humble and open to the radiance of the King, which shines forth, creating the atmosphere needful. And as perceptiveness is developed in the light, what needs to happen can happen easily without any necessity to go off on any tangents. One can rationalize that, saying, “Well the creative process is working.” Yes it was; it did its job if it brought you back. But why did you go out there in the first place? As I say, the spirit of the King working in the creative process is very forgiving. It always has been or we wouldn’t be here at all. Let us not trade on that forgiveness, but learn to let the light shine radiantly, consistently, so that what needs to be seen can be seen. And what we see is what is coming forth. We encompass what is coming forth. We don’t try to manipulate it. We don’t try to make it be something other than what it is. There is no need for all this mental thrashing around. There is that which is to be born moment by moment, and we learn to shepherd it into radiant expression; and because the radiance is there we see what's happening. We don’t see what we don’t need to see. We just see what we need to see. I think we can be very thankful for that. There’s no need to be all cluttered up like we were.

We share the outpouring of the radiance of the King, and we love that above all. Again, I speak of these things. We all need to know the truth of them because we receive the gift into ourselves in our own living. There is no other real fulfillment possible.

Temple  of  Light

June  Monthly  Service  Notice

June 19, 2021

It is our delight to invite you to participate in the next  Temple of Light monthly service, on Sunday, June 27th at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. If you would like to participate, write to templeoflightaum@gmail.com and we will send you a ZOOM Link. We have scheduled 90 minutes of ZOOM time — that would be a maximum, and we may finish earlier.

This will be our fourth monthly Temple service since we began this adventure, and so it is characterized by our Fire of Love for, and Oneness with, the Supreme One.

What a fine opportunity we have to meet in the Temple for a monthly service, and let the Radiation do the work as it moves through us in a focused and joyful way.

A new Temple of Life website has been created. It will be used to post transcripts we have used and occasional notices. We don’t plan on transcribing these services, except occasionally when something rather exceptional comes forth in our midst. You can bookmark the website for reference as needed: templeoflightservices.blogspot.com

We are so delighted that Laura Fisher and Pamela Gray will be providing the primary focus for our upcoming service on Sunday, June 27th. However, each of us comes to the hour prepared to expand and differentiate that focus through our unified radiation.

We are thrilled to have John Gray leading the service on Sunday, July 25th.

For our TSS Anniversary Meditation together in September, we have asked Yujin Pak and Marsha Bogolin, from Seoul, South Korea to lead the Temple service. Because of the Time Zone difference, this service will held on Wednesday, September 15th Pacific Time at 5:30 pm, or 8:30 pm Eastern Time — this will be Thursday, September 16th at 9:30 a.m. Korea Time.

Everyone who receives this Notice, and who is on our mailing list, is invited to play a focal role in a monthly Temple service. You are invited to read and speak, whenever you feel it is your time and your turn — just let us know and we will work out a monthly service time for your contributions. This is one aspect of Priesthood responsibility — that each Priest or Priestess steps forward to assume a focal role at their appointed time in Temple service. The only qualifications needed are a heart full of love for the truth brought to mankind by the Supreme One and His primary representatives, and the tranquil mind of Lucifer the Light Bearer.

With thanksgiving for all our opportunities in service — Glory to God in the Highest.  David Barnes, with Anne Blaney, Linda Bahan and Bill Bahan

These are the service dates selected for the next few months:

Sunday, June 27, 2021  10 a.m. Pacific Time  1 p.m. Eastern Time  Laura Fisher and Pamela Gray

Sunday, July 25, 2021  10 a.m. Pacific Time  1 p.m. Eastern Time  John Gray

Temple  of  Light  Services

March 7, 2021

Invitation

You are invited to participate in a new monthly service pattern that is being initiated by Bill & Linda Bahan and Anne Blaney & David Barnes, in agreement with several others. Services will be held via Zoom on either the 3rd or 4th Sunday of each month at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time [10:00 a.m. Pacific] on days which do not conflict with the Tone of Life service hours, or the South Korea service hours. Our vision is to complement, rather than conflict in any way. From this humble beginning, starting with small numbers, we include all who resonate in spirit, and we enfold all developing spiritual service work being done everywhere.

These Temple of Light services naturally emerge out of Bill Bahan’s work over several years releasing monthly transcripts, and David's work with the Great Cosmic Story. We will take an ATN [All Things New] approach, which facilitates the generation of a unique quality of refined pneumaplasm, when all are together with one accord in one place sustaining an atmosphere that allows an outpouring of the spirit which is natural to each service period. Our primary purpose is to provide the LORD with a vehicle through which to release the radiation of love into His body and world, letting the spirit pour forth in unified rhythms of blessing and return in the ascending current.

We will utilize the high vibrational qualities inherent in primary Third Sacred School materials to open new doors and allow movement together into higher ranges—a vertical expansion which lets essences come to focus and replenish the earth in horizontal creation. Each service will begin by giving various ones an opportunity to read an excerpt, or by sharing an audio or video selection, from Uranda or Martin. Then we will open the space for free-flowing conversation, moving in the clear current of the Word.

If you are interested in participating, let us know and we will send you a Zoom link [templeoflightaum@gmail.com]. These are the service dates selected for the next few months:

Sunday, March 21, 2021   10 a.m. Pacific Time  1 p.m. Eastern Time

Sunday, April 18, 2021  10 a.m. Pacific Time  1 p.m. Eastern Time

Sunday, May 16, 2021  10 a.m. Pacific Time  1 p.m. Eastern Time

Sunday, June 27, 2021  10 a.m. Pacific Time  1 p.m. Eastern Time

Sunday, July 25, 2021  10 a.m. Pacific Time  1 p.m. Eastern Time

Sunday, August 22, 2021  10 a.m. Pacific Time  1 p.m. Eastern Time

We sent the Invitation to a relatively small number of people for the first services, as we want to begin in a modest way and start things off on a firm foundation. Thank you everyone, for your consciousness of the significance of this new initiative, and the keen interest to actively participate.

“These Temple of Light services are designed to facilitate the generation of a unique quality of refined pneumaplasm. Our primary purpose is to provide the LORD with a vehicle through which to release the radiation of love into His body and world, letting the spirit pour forth in unified rhythms of blessing and return in the ascending current. We will utilize the high vibrational qualities inherent in primary Third Sacred School materials to open new doors and allow movement together into higher ranges—a vertical expansion which lets essences come to focus and replenish the earth in new horizontal creation.

We shared a very fine Service on Sunday, May 16th with our time being focused by Steve Ventola, Carol Smith, Terry Kauffman and Robert Kauffman — all of whom live in Atlanta, Georgia. They read aloud an excerpt from a transcript by Martin Cecil titled This Generation, which delivers a very potent message, pertinent and relevant to our time of coming forth into the absoluteness of Divine presence and expression as a unified collective. The transcript is attached below so that we all can meditate further upon the implications now.

Perhaps it would be helpful to mention here, that these Temple of Light monthly services are of a new vintage, and we are all learning to work and converse together, letting our communications flow within the current of the spirit inherent in the words read or shared on a recording, keeping close to the primary vibration being released, and developing that grace and ease which is natural and authentic to each one who speaks. Stillness, keen listening, enfoldment one of another, passionate love for the Word, and a recognition of the privileges of service to the Most High — these all place a great and glorious responsibility in our hands. There are technical things to work out as we navigate Zoom, time zones, and many earthly factors while we live and work in heaven, and let it all develop and come together in the elegance of the creative process.

One prime factor worthy of note here is the reality of the returning cycle. As we share in strong radiation there is always a returning aspect, and it often contains quite a mixture of world reactions, along with the finer essences of course. This is something to recognize, meet and experience both during and after every Service. Rarely is the returning vibration a smooth and crystal clear pattern. As we work together, we gain experience and understanding of these delicate factors. When new and challenging themes are introduced in a Service, and a strong, radiation moves out through us all — as happened yesterday using the transcript This Generation — much is activated in the soul of each one who is directly participating, and in the souls of those who are vibrationally connected to each one of us. The invitation and the challenge to allow greater purification and sanctification, greater alignment and increased understanding, and attunement with the Word itself, is always present in a potent release. The strong currents that may be evident in the returning phase are indication that something strong, true and useful went out, and it has challenged the human nature factors in the world and in our own soul’s composition, inviting and compelling greater attunement of heart and mind in the body of mankind, of which our soul is also a part. As we work together in both the radiant and the returning aspect of the Service cycle, in the ebb and flow of pressure and release, only that which belongs to the LORD is allowed through the Gate, so to speak, and the rest is transformed in the processes of purification — quite ingenious really! As Martin emphasized in 1985: “It is our business to continue indefatigably allowing this substance to be generated because we dwell in the secret place of the Most High.”

It is such a high honour and a privilege to work together in new ways in these new days, where focus is clearly maintained through a unified composite body of people who are drawn together to serve the Most High, and represent all responsive hearts everywhere, and allow essences that are returning to clearly ascend to the LORD of Love. Love to all.

David Barnes — with Bill and Linda Bahan, and Anne Blaney

This  Generation

Martin Cecil   December 26, 1962

I have emphasized the fact before that the change must come in one generation. It could be, presumably, any generation, as long as human beings exist on earth. If they leave it too long, of course, there will not be any generations left. But it must come in one generation, though human beings have a comfortable idea that somehow or other the next generation may be more successful. That which has to be experienced is what has been defined as a change of polarity. Fallen human beings are polarized with respect to the mass consciousness of humanity; Divine Man is polarized in Divine consciousness. If we take just one person and consider this changeover, we recognize that there must be a transition. Everyone starts off with the wrong polarity. There must be movement through a period of experience to right polarity. It is not something that is done instantly; but unless it is done in that person while he lives, it is not done. Isn't that right? After he is dead there is no more chance for that person.

As we multiply one person by whatever number is required—say 144,000—then it must happen to those 144,000 individuals during the course of their life; otherwise it does not happen. If the attitude is taken, “Well we'll do it just so far; we couldn't possibly go all the way; but our children will then carry on from there,” we delude ourselves, because the children only receive a blessing if the generation who are the parents carry through. Otherwise they are left betwixt and between; they are neither one thing nor the other. They do not have the evidence made manifest of the Divine State and they do not have the experience, to the same degree, of the fallen state. There is perhaps a tendency to consequently take things for granted and to lack appreciation for that which is, to the extent that it is. They have not been through the harsh—I was going to say reality; it should be unreality—of the fallen state, and they have not been offered the experience of the Divine State, if those of the previous generation have not carried through.

It must be done in one generation, because if the generation who were in the process of carrying through do not, then the children, or succeeding generation, have to start all over again. The idea that the hope is in the children is nonsense. The idea that the succeeding generation offers the hope is foolishness. It is the generation that is here now that offers the hope. It is now that is the appointed time. It is the only time we have. If in one generation there are those who do carry through, and there are children associated with that generation, then that is a different matter, because they have the manifest experience of the Divine State at that point, and they know what it is then. But if it has not been made manifest they do not know what it is, and they will find that they have to go down into Egypt again and come clear all over again—if they are going to do it, that is. There has always been a block with respect to the fulfilment of the Divine Plan, and that block has been just one generation—never any more, just one generation. We can take the attitude, “Well we'll do our best. We'll go as far as we can,” but it will not get the job done, and another generation—if one is on hand—will have to start all over again.

You have been through some experience to bring you to this point, to enable you to emerge from the fallen state to the extent that you have. It has been quite a journey, hasn't it, to bring you to this point. You have had many experiences, passed through many things. You have known clearings of various sorts. All that has been put into you, so to speak—this is the Lord's investment in you. We cannot bequeath it to someone else, can we? It is something that happened to us, not to anyone else. We cannot just take it out of ourselves and put it in our children. If they are going to share it they must experience it too. There isn't anything vicarious in this process; we have to know it for ourselves, and therefore we must come all the way through if our lives are to have the meaning which is the Divine Purpose. If we do not come all the way through we fall short. That is what is called sin, by the way—falling short of the mark. If there is a falling short it is so much waste, isn't it? There has been development, and development working out through us—we just didn't make it. Well if we didn't make it we didn't make it, and what might have been on the basis of our restoration was not experienced—gone—and all that went into our lives to make it possible for us to experience the restoration is wasted because we are gone.

This is something that must work out in one generation; otherwise it doesn't. It will not evolve there, because it is not a matter of evolving through human self-activity. Human beings have been doing that, but that never achieves the goal, never gets anywhere except to ultimate annihilation. It is something new. Our Master Himself revealed this when He came. He let it be done in thirty years—one generation insofar as He was concerned. So He revealed that it could be done in one generation. He also, incidentally, revealed that it must be done in one generation, although that has not been so clearly seen. Look at all the generations we have had since, and still it is not done insofar as human beings generally are concerned, because there has not been a recognition of this one fundamental principle.

It is not a matter of evolving in human self-activity so that we become better self-active human beings. That is not the goal at all. The goal is to become Divine Beings, and we cannot become Divine Beings as long as we remain self-active. It is a matter of moving through the transition from the control of the devil to the control of God, and when God controls, when the Divine consciousness is accepted, then the Divine State can begin to appear as a result. As long as the devil controls, then the fallen state must appear as a result. No matter how much progress may be made in self-activity, the fallen state must remain; conflicts will continue until the final conflict, somewhere along the way.

The statement was made by our Master to the effect that except the days should be shortened no flesh should be saved. Now that has generally been translated to mean that there was going to be such an appalling state of destructiveness on earth that unless that were curtailed everybody would destroy everybody else; so this period of awful destructiveness, when human beings were in such tribulation, would have to be shortened so that somebody survived. Well there might be some application in that sense, but we may also see that the days must be shortened in the sense of one generation. Unless the days are shortened in that sense, no flesh shall be saved; unless the change, the transition, the restoration, comes with respect to an adequate body of human beings in one generation—wherever that generation may be—no flesh shall be saved, because there isn't any other way by which flesh may be saved.

It is the acceptance of the Divine control, in actual fact, of a sufficient number of responding ones which allows the Divine control to begin to manifest as a reality on earth—something which human beings have not experienced. They do not know what it would be. They have no idea that such a thing is even possible, for the most part. They certainly have no comprehension of what would happen if Divine action began to appear on earth because there was a form through which it could appear. There simply has not been such a form, except here and there on an individual basis, since man fell; so human beings have no awareness of what it would be, and the results which would be the natural result, the natural consequence of the Divine control working, are therefore considered as being fantastic. From the standpoint of human self-activity such results could never appear in a million years, but from the standpoint of Divine activity they could appear in one generation. But there could be no Divine activity in this sense, no transfer of the Divine control, until there are those who are willing to accept it. Because there have been no adequate instruments of such acceptance, there has been no experience of what the consequences would be.

If we are letting our lives be dedicated to this Divine purpose of the restoration, we must experience it within ourselves first. It is not as though we could say, “Well we have a vision of this—the restoration, the goal. We see how wonderful it would be. God's power is adequate; we believe that; therefore somehow or other, because we have this vision and understanding, it is all going to work out successfully.” It is not. If it works out successfully it has to work out through someone, and if our dedication is genuine, we are saying, “It must work out through us.” And in that actual experience the reality begins to be known: Divine activity, the power of God manifesting on earth to make possible that which naturally appears in consequence. We do not have to concern ourselves with that which is to appear. That takes care of itself. All we have to concern ourselves with is letting the experience be known to us under the dominion of God.

Because man has been functioning in the fallen state there has been no available instrument for the Divine use; the power of God has been entirely excluded in the truly creative sense, but such as has been able to appear has had to appear through the fallen consciousness of human beings. The life force that is moving through people—that is, the power of God—is under the control of the fallen consciousness of human beings, and consequently it has kept everything in a turmoil. The very moment there begins to be something which is under God's control the power of God can begin to move through that in a creative sense—there begins to be a shift, and we are here to share in letting that shift take place actually. But unless we ourselves experience what it means to be under the dominion of God, unless we ourselves begin to discover, and consequently experience, what it means to function on the basis of Divine consciousness, we cannot share in that which needs to be done. Shall that which has been experienced through us and through others over these past years, bringing us all to this point, be allowed to go for nothing?

It is not just a matter of the number of years a person may have been associated with this Ministry in the conscious sense—it is the number of years a person has been on earth moving toward this point of conscious recognition of these things, for all experiences have been used. Each one of you has come through cycles which are distinct and individual to you, and all these things have brought you together here—not only you who are here present tonight but all who are here in our Ministry in actual fact—to this hour. How much investment the Lord has in us, then, investment which can either come to fruition or be written off. The Lord is pretty accustomed to writing it off. It might be a change for Him if it was allowed to come to fruition, if there was an actual willingness to carry through to the point of fulfilment; not personal fulfilment in the sense of something which the individual thinks would be pleasing to himself, but fulfilment in the sense of being absolutely under the dominion of the spirit of God, whatever might occur thereafter. To what extent is that true of you now? How free are we? How much dominion does the truth have in us actually? All of you know that it should be so, all of you feel that you are dedicated to this purpose; but does it go beyond the theory, really? Sometimes a human being will have something in mind that he would like to do, and if that is suggested, “Oh yes! I'll go right into it! Wonderful!” but if it is something else that he had not considered as being too desirable, and it meant that he was not moving into what he wanted to move into, what then? Is it what we ourselves personally want to do that is important? Or is the need in the Ministry of the Lord important? What needs to be done? That is the important thing. Whether we want to do it or not is beside the point, and if we have such wants anymore it is obvious that we are not yet sufficiently under the control of the Divine consciousness.

We are here to fill the needs of the moment. We are not in the Divine state in the external sense—of course not, because there has been no cause for it to be here yet. We have to establish the cause first, and thereafter the Divine Estate will appear and that no doubt will be wonderful. But in the meantime it is not here and we have to function on the basis of the things that are here, filling the needs that are here without question as to whether it is personally pleasing or not. “Is this the thing that is needed in the Lord's ministry, in the fulfilment of the Divine purposes?”—that is the question. And it is in the filling of the needs in the Lord's service, no matter what they are, that we find our joy. That is where the joy is. The joy is not in doing what we like to do, but in doing that which is needful in the fulfilment of the Divine purposes. And when we begin to do that consistently we begin to find the secret of joy.

Our Master said that He would give His joy, didn't He? And what was His joy? To do the will of Him that sent Him; to do what was necessary in the fulfilment of the Divine purposes, even if, as it worked out, it was necessary for Him to go through what He did. It is in that that we find true joy, because we begin to find ourselves under the dominion of God, we begin to find ourselves participating in the instrument for Divine activity, so that the power of God may work creatively on earth to bring forth fruit—Divine fruit. It will not restore the world to the Divine state in a moment. How many years do you think it might take? We will not question that; but the very moment that the power of God begins to work creatively on earth because there is a means for its manifestation, the issue begins to be forced, and consequently the days are shortened.

The answer comes quickly. Human beings are forced to make their choices. In one generation the restoration can become a reality; not in the sense of its final manifestation necessarily, but the restoration nevertheless, because the cause is established. How long it will take for that to work itself out so as to cover the earth is something which need not particularly concern us. Our concern is to let the cause be established, because we know that when it is there the results are sure, in the cycles and the seasons of the Lord. And the cause is established as we ourselves have the experience—in no other way. Only as we ourselves know what it means to be under the dominion of God in the expression of our lives do we share in allowing any creative expression of God's power. Thinking about it, theorizing about it, imagining things, accomplishes nothing; it is only when it is done that the fulfilment comes.

Our Master spoke some words when He was hanging on the cross. He said, “It is finished.” It was done insofar as He was concerned; and the fulfilment came, didn't it, for Him. We need to be able to say, “It is finished.” There is no adequate group of human beings in any generation since the fall of man that has been in position to say that—a lot of things left undone, half done. Well here we are in the world as it is. Can it be said of our generation—there is quite a scope to a generation—shall it be said of our generation that they finished the work which had been given them to do? When that can be said the restoration will be a reality, the cause will have been established, and the results will appear.

Service  In  The  Temple  Of  Light

David Barnes   March-May 2021   Salmon Arm, BC

First, we should acknowledge together, and thank the LORD for the wonders that have been made manifest in our lives over the years, each one of us, and the wonders that are yet to come. Right at the beginning, I want to say a few words about how this new monthly Temple of Light service pattern opened up, as it came through Bill and Linda Bahan, Anne Blaney and me in more recent days. We acknowledge and clearly recognize that it is emerging and being born through all of you, and many others as well. We do not open up such things in isolation. They emerge through the whole, through many Angels in expression on earth at this time. This morning I was reflecting on a passage from the Gospel of John. The Master Jesus—the Master of the Temple of Love—had this to say: “Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.” The word Son relates to the formation of the Temple of Light, and the hour has come to initiate a new cycle that complements the fine work that is being done by many people, coming alive with new energy, new spirit and new substance in this day. In this initiation, the Son may glorify the Father and prepare the way for the Mother.

We have a life span in which to give ourselves to this vibrational formation which has been developing. If we do it right, when our incarnation is complete we pass it on to another generation of Angels who have come into Temple service with us, prepared to carry it on after we are finished and we leave. This is a large project, the restoration of the consciousness mankind, and the formation of the Temple of Light, which rightly should enfold within its sphere of influence every human being who yields to that; and it also includes the whole earth and all of creation. We are in the midst of a vast re-creation project, and process of refocalization.

Recently a certain amount of emphasis has been placed on an awareness of the spiritual presence of Melchizedek, Priest of the Most High God, and the Melchizedek influence that is known in these days, as we bring our substance and our contributions toward the building and the shining in the Temple of Light in this era. Not long ago, Yujin Pak spoke of these things in a service in Seoul, South Korea. What a privilege and a great responsibility, to recognize that Melchizedek came four thousand years ago and reminded Abraham of his work and his commission in initiating the cycle of the restoration of the Temple of Light in the earth; and Moses carried it forward with the formation of the Tabernacle, the Ark, the Priesthood and the Twelve Tribes; and Melchizedek came again, this time in the form of the Master Jesus, born as a human being, to live the life of a man on earth, calling others to remembrance and awakening, and setting in motion a cycle that would absolutely, firmly establish the restoration of the Melchizedek Priesthood, the Tribes of the earth in oneness, and all creation as part of the glory of the shining of the Temple of Light. More recently Uranda incarnated to carry forward this work, to open up the cycle in this Age. We find, right from the beginning, that he emphasized the reality of the Temple of Light. All of us were introduced long ago to Uranda’s writing, Seven Steps To The Temple Of Light, which we have opened many times I am sure. But now we find ourselves walking those Seven Steps in reality every day, opening the Way for others, even as he opened essential doors for us—and as the Master Jesus opened the Seven Seals in a complete sense for all who would walk in the Way of the Master on earth. We acknowledge the Angels and the Archangels who came before us and very clearly opened the Way to the Temple of Light.

Here are some words by Uranda, speaking about Melchizedek, Priest of the Most High God, KING of Salem, KING of Peace. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2020/09/melchizedekking-of-salem.html] Addressing the 1953 Class, and speaking to us right now, he said: “Your function here in this School has for its purpose the basic initiation into the Priesthood after the Order of Melchizedek. There can be no true manifestation of spiritual power except on the basis of the Priesthood after the Order of Melchizedek. This is the keynote, the key point, in relationship to the outworking of the whole Divine Plan and Pattern. And those who would share in the fulfilment of that Divine Purpose on earth must, to some degree at least, begin to share the reality of the Priesthood after the Order of Melchizedek… It is necessary that we enter the Priesthood after the Order of Melchizedek—not only to speak the Word of the Lord but to do the works of the Lord, to work out the Divine Pattern on earth, to live the reality... And it is only as this reality of Priesthood is made manifest that we can have the manifestation of power necessary to the accomplishment of the Divine Purpose on earth.”

We here know that long ago we participated in that basic initiation, and we have moved along the Path leading onward from that point—we and many others, not just we few here—but we may clearly acknowledge that the initiation took place for us way, way back. And here we are now as Angels, friends together with a responsibility that is in accord with the Word, the Creative Command, “Let US remake man, mankind, and all creation.” Let US as Angels, as a collective, working together with the Archangelic focalizations who are centered in the LORD of Lords—let US play our part, letting it come to focus from the lowest to the highest vibration in the Heaven, according to what each one of us is called to do in our work and our service together. In order to lay the foundation clearly, I want to say a few things right the start of this new cycle, represented by the initiation of this new monthly Temple of Light service pattern.

Throughout the past few years, many of us have become more keenly aware of the opportunities available to let intensified and rhythmic currents of radiation flow through our own body temples, into the living earth itself, and into the world body of humanity that is showing so many manifestations of sickness. When thinking about these things this morning, it took me back to late 1987 and early 1988, that time when Martin Exeter was completing his incarnation; and all of us were aware that something unprecedented in experience was taking place in his body—and then he left. That was thirty-three years ago this year. Thirty-three years is the length of time that the Master lived on earth in the body of Jesus—preparing Himself to begin His public ministry and complete His incarnation, and finish the work that He came on earth to accomplish. It is written in the Book of Acts that after the crucifixion He continued with the disciples for forty days, “To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.”

I have often thought, over this past year, of these thirty-three years that have passed since Martin left, as symbolizing thirty-three of those forty days when the Master remained close with His disciples—a period where Martin’s spirit has lingered close with us, and has been felt by us, speaking silently and heard by us in the sanctuary of the Temple of our own hearts and minds and bodies—speaking of things pertaining to the Kingdom of God in this day, and preparing a body of people who would assemble in the forming Temple of Light and serve in Angelic maturity. All of us have been involved in that unfolding pattern of listening, and hearing what it is that the Lord has been speaking over the past thirty-three years. We have been diligent about our generations, being prepared for a day when once again there could be drawn together an assembly of disciples and ministers, prophets and priests, male and female, in the Upper Room of the Temple, letting an outpouring of the Spirit occur through us in waves of radiance, and return, so that the LORD might have a vehicle, a Temple Body on earth through which to release His radiance. We discover, as we find union in the Temple, that this is our own Angelic radiance, one with His Almighty radiance.

Some of Martin’s last words to us were, “The light of the body is in the eye. If thine eye be single thy whole body shall be filled with light.” “Let your light so shine.” The Word of the Lord to those who are invited to participate in the formation and serve in the Temple, is: “If thine eye be single thy whole collective Temple Body shall be filled with light—shall be a Temple of Light composed of many Angels incarnate and in expression”—many human beings in spiritual expression together. Laura Fisher wrote me a note this morning; she said, “It is my pleasure to be with you as you prepare for service this morning. The times I was with Martin's household on Sunday mornings before service, there was a silence that rang like universal Toning! It was deafening and all consuming!” The Lord is in his holy temple—let all the earth keep silence before Him.

Here we are gathered today, some of the people who worked and served with Martin; some of those who, over these intervening years, have come to know him as he was and is, and have come to know the LORD because of him. And so right now, in March 2021, it is keenly felt that there is a need to begin a new pattern of service that is designed to facilitate the generation of a very unique quality of refined pneumaplasm. This will happen—it is a Divine promise—when everyone gathered together in one accord in one place is sustaining an atmosphere that allows an outpouring of spirit that is natural to each specific service period. This is an opportunity to bring our love and thanksgiving to the focus of spirit for this Seven-Plane World, the LORD of Lords, and provide Him with a Body, a vehicle through which to release His Power under control and through His design—worship in spirit and in truth. We wouldn’t be able to do that if we didn’t know Him and His spirit, that spirit which is present in the Temple of Love, the Temple of Light, and the Temple of Life, now forming in Heaven and on earth. He is the High Priest in the Temple—not as in priestly lineages of this religious world, but as we spoke earlier, the lineage of the Melchizedek Priesthood.

So we will gather, as we are here, to provide a Body of ministers and disciples, prophets and priests, who know that this is who they are—who I am. By reason of our presence in that capacity, by whatever name it might rightly be called, we provide a living vehicle through which the radiation of Shekinah may flow into His Body and His world—may pour forth in rhythms of blessing, released outward to all, and welcomed as they return to us and to Him in the ascending current.

Those who know the Voice of the Master love His Voice. The Master is in the Temple. We find that present often in the eastern world—when one enters a Temple there is a priest or a master in the Temple. Those who love the Master of All know His voice, and they follow Him. So we are going to use, as part of what we do, the high vibrational qualities that are inherent in primary Third Sacred School materials, to open some doors, release the radiation, look at things anew, and allow a movement together into higher ranges—and let a vertical expansion take place. Much preoccupation with external or horizontal expansion has prevailed over the last 2000 years—some of that necessary in order to get people and situations in the world changed around so that the LORD could have a clear shot at refocalizing the cycle of restoration in this era, working through new arrangements of substance and people. But there has been a tremendous over-preoccupation with horizontal expansion and horizontal creation, even among our numbers in the past, and most people seem to think that squashing all activity into the physical and mental levels, with a thinly destructive emotional layer woven through it all, is the only way to go. But here we have an opportunity to let a fine vertical, pneumaplasmic and spiritual expansion occur.

So we are hopeful that, in the days to come, this service opportunity will give each of us who are Temple Priests and Priestesses an opportunity to share what we each have to bring and offer, through reading a transcript excerpt by Uranda or Martin, and speaking extemporaneously—original, authentic and fully alive now! Let each one speak in their own natural tongue and language, their own choice of phrasing and words—anything that fits in Temple service. Anything is welcome, that helps, as Uranda put it, “to work out the Divine Pattern on earth”—anything that is respectful and respecting of others, that is reverent, anything that is sacred, from lowest in the clear Heaven to the Most High that can be wisely and rightly shared. All this is open to us. There is no room for conflict, no room for judgment, no room for criticism. But there is a great deal of space for straight, clear, clean, direct talk, conversation and silence in Upper Room of the Temple—anything that really fits in the movement that we share together. After any reading, will have an open space for free-flowing and radiant conversation, moving in the clear current of the Word. And there is no need to imagine that any one of us should speak in a particular kind of group language, group-speak, or group-think. Each is totally free to speak in their own natural manner, as I am free now with you—and I certainly don’t expect that you would say it like I do.

Each Priest, male or female, is called to bring what they uniquely as an Angel are called to bring to the LORD and to His Priesthood Body. As such, each is part of the Body of the High Priest, reforming on earth in a conscious way, through conscious expression, because of the transformation that has been taking place in the subconscious, because of the pure heart and the Holy Ghost substance now permeating that subconscious realm. So there is no concern about what might erupt out of the subconscious into the conscious, to disrupt in a manner that doesn’t fit in the Temple, because only that which does fit is allowed in and out.

So we begin with small numbers, and let a vertical expansion take place, not so much concerned with horizontal expansion or larger numbers of people. But we have been interested in inviting certain ones to begin with, knowing the Core Focus that various ones have been maintaining; that focus which has allowed the emergence we have all seen through various groupings in various locations over the past couple of years in particular. And this monthly Temple of Light service pattern, at this point, can assist in providing a Core Focus point, that contributes in an integrating way, in a creative way, to all that is being offered everywhere through everyone who is functioning at any level in a genuine spiritual sense, in spiritual expression, whether they are conscious of so functioning or yet unconscious, but who have a love for what is at the core of integrity in themselves and in the world body. We can assist in providing an orientation point for this greater coming forth, something that is helpful in the world. So, as the highest essences of the spirit that we are naturally equipped to allow to move from the inner realms through us are allowed release, we are a representative Core Body and an external Temple setting through which the spirit can move both consciously and subconsciously from Core to the periphery of all that is being drawn together by love, into union with the Spirit of the Most High. We can let it build, and evolve and reshape in the creative process over the coming months.

I feel that it is important to be clear and specific at the beginning, relative to what this new venture is about. We are all very aware of the profane world. Profane is defined as that which is outside of the Temple—out of timing, out of phase, out of rhythm. Centered in the Word, we walk easily in the profane world, speaking with those who are awakening and who are drawn to us. But here there is opportunity to gather as Priests of the Most High God, in Temple service. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2021/02/the-temple-of-light-is-here.html] This rings true and right to me. There is pure delight at the opportunity we have to be together in this way—together in Heaven on earth, as we have been over the past thirty-three years, letting this important cycle of clarification come. With an awareness of all its apparent losses, there is this apparent gain: evidence of the Presence of the LORD, of the Word made flesh, to this degree. We acknowledge these things and move together in accord. What fulfillment might the next seven years bring!
