THIS PRETEND UNIVERSE

The entire dynamic wave universe of electric matter is not what is seems to be. Everything which seems at rest depend upon violent motion to make believe it is at rest. A wire wheel could appear to be a steel disk if spun fast enough. The faster it is spun, the more at rest it would seem. Your planet, seemingly at rest, is in violent motion around its centering point of rest from which it is electrically extended. Seemingly motionless clouds, floating above the earth, are rotating with it at the tremendous speed of one thousand miles an hour at the equator, or four times faster than an ordinary plane.

All of the planets are revolving around their central sun which seemingly stands still in the heavens of space, but in fact it, too, is moving with incredible speed. Likewise all the stars at night are simulating rest for they are actually moving at terrific speeds to adjust their mutual unbalances in this dual universe of divided pressure.

The pencil in one’s hand, the desk upon one is writing, the room of “motionless” things, seeming to be at rest, are but simulating rest through violent motion of their many parts. Tremendous vibrations may be in the glass paper weight, for instance.

No one thing could manifest the rest it simulates if it were not for the incredible speeds of those atoms which so incessantly rotate and revolve to make the seeming restfulness possible.

EVEN THOSE “STILL” THINGS ARE NOT

All seemingly still matter is manifesting pretense of rest by make-believe motion. Motion itself is an illusion. The motion one senses in one’s brain has no more reality than the motion which one senses in a motion picture.

The seeming motion of the cinema is caused by sequences of changing patterned forms projected on the screen which give the impression of motion because of the rapid change of pattern in the negatives. That self-same illusion applies to the material universe.

Without change, God’s play of Creation could not be played, nor its actors be. Behold, therefore, the changing universe of God’s imagining, the seeming universe of God’s thinking.

And again I say that there is NO CHANGE in God, the changeless ONE, so, also, is there no change in God’s thought universe of pairs of opposed things which forever interchange to simulate God’s universe of change. Even the seeming changing of God’s thought universe is not change save for senses of sensed things which are bound to pairs of wholes.

Each pair winds its way through the interchanging pressures of its electric journey. Each appears, to reappear again and again. Even though senses of sensed things sense changing in all the things, they change not to conscious knowing.

So. Why be a slave of  sensing? Rise the sensing and Be as God in the KNOWING.

CHANGE IS ILLUSION

Change is an illusion of the senses due to motion. There is no change whatsoever in the  conscious universe of knowing. There is only an illusion of change set up by the two interchanging lights of thinking to divide the One Whole idea into many separate ideas and record them in moving matter.

The senses are the audience for these thought pulsations. The senses are a part of this illusion. Senses are electric. They belong to the thought universe of motion and do not respond to stillness. As motion itself is non-existent, so also are senses non-existent.

The senses are but the imaged record of imaged motion, matter, and change. As such they are limited to pin-hole peeks into the vastness which they extend beyond their sensing. The senses have no knowledge of what they sense. They merely record motion. The senses, further, respond to motion in only one direction. They sense the forward flow of time but no its backward flow. If they could register both directions, they would become aware of stillness of this zero universe of seeming motion. The Universal ONE planned it this way, otherwise there could not be sequential manifestation of thought which constitutes the creating universe. When your knowing exceeds your sensing, you will no longer be deceived by the illusions of your senses.

A man seeing a Technicolor motion picture for first time and without knowledge of such electric effects, would think he was looking through a window at real happenings, unaware that it was an illusion “created” by projecting positive light through patterned negatives. That is all that creation is: two lights projected through each other to simulate motion, form and change.

Your senses are like passengers on a fast-moving train. They sense parts of the landscape as they rush forward, while, to their senses, the landscape rushes backward –ponder it. The senses interpret these effects as matter in fast motion which is forever fast changing. A man, seeing the same train from a mountain, would sense that same motion and fast change as changeless and still.

As Man unfolds from sensed Man to spiritual Man, he gradually becomes aware of the two-way motion of all effect; that two-way being the visible effect which he knows but does not sense. Gradually the time arrives in his unfolding when his full awareness of Cause voids all reliance upon sensation. He then rises above his sensing. He then knows the universe of motion for that which it is instead of for what it seems to be.

You must stop seeing with outer eyes alone for you have knowing eyes to void the illusions of your sensing. Throughout longs eons Man has walked this earth with eyes of outer seeing, giving belief to that earth of his body’s sensing. Throughout his new eons he must walk the earth of inner seeing and KNOW GOD in it as but visioning it in Light of God and Light of him.

For Gods thinks earth, and earth appears, disappears, and reappears in balanced rhythms of God’s thinking. Wherefore, God say, man’s earth and Man are by “My” imagining, to come and go with “My” imaginings. It is not God, nor is it him; nor is it even what it seems to be to him.

However, Man must cease placing earth before God, gaining aught of earth and naught of God. For God is a patient God –patiently awaiting awakening Man.

Awakening Man is he who knows the Light of God within himself. Man may choose his own eons for his awakening, but know God he must. Until that day Man’s agony of unknowing shall be Man’s alone. His knowing must be his own destiny. Knowing Man is ecstatic cosmic Man. He who begins to know God in him –yea, even him who suspecteth God in him hastens his unfolding to cosmic Man of all-knowing. 

THE DECEIVING SENSES

Image a perfectly motionless wheel and a fly walking around its rim, moving ever forward over changing ground and the wheel seemingly backward, during a continuity of time in which the fly sensed a constant change in the changeless wheel. Every time the fly got back to the same point, it would compute the past time consumed on the journey and the forward time necessary for the next circuit.

The wheel being still, motion, change and time are created by the fly itself as it takes the whole idea of the wheel apart by journeying around it and examining it bit by bit. The fly sensed motion by changing its position on the wheel. It sensed change by finding a seeming difference of condition at each forward movement. It sensed time by creating a sequence necessary in taking the one idea of the wheel apart and dividing it into separated ideas. This simple analogy is a good symbol of Creation. Your planet, like the fly on the wheel, moves forever around its motionless orbit. The orbit is as rigid and still as the wheel upon the fly is moving.

As the planet moves upon the wheel of its orbit, it senses constant motion and change. It senses changes of days into nights, of spring merging into summer, autumn into winter. All of these seeming changes are in the motion of the planet and not in the wheel of his orbit. Each change is entirely due to the motion of the planet and not to the changeless orbit. The planet itself registers change on its changeless wheel. Change therefore lies in the motion alone. The senses are motion, therefore the senses sense only that which they themselves are.

SENSES ARE INADEQUATE

Man continually overrates his senses. He places far to much dependence upon them without justification, for they are not recording of the phenomena of his surroundings. He likewise trusts them too much without justification, for they are constantly deceiving him. While his senses are recording the stillness and rest of Nature on a lazy afternoon, they are failing to record the violent motion of everything in his entire environment, from the blade of grass to the clouds in the heavens above him.

Those seemingly motionless clouds are moving at the speed of a thousand miles an hour at the equator without the slightest evidence of that motion being recorded upon his senses. The earth also is moving many miles per second in two directions, one of rotation upon its axis and the other upon its orbit. His senses register stillness. They are electrically unaware of the motion.

La deception is as it should be, just as the same deception in a cinema is as it should be. God’s universe is but an electric recording of His knowing, manifested by His thinking. To thus record the idea of His knowing in the two lights of His thinking, a three dimensional universe is necessary. If the senses could detect and record all motion, instead of but a part of it, the illusion would disappear. The senses would see behind the illusion and find that all motion voids itself. Division of the whole into parts causes the illusion. If the film is removed from the projector of the motion picture, the illusion of motion and change would be voided.

That is what Creation is, the One Light of knowing divided into the patterned parts of thinking. Sensing is but an electric tension set up by the seeming division of one into many which “strain” to fulfill its desire for the oneness. When a unity of condition is consummated, sensation between those parts ceases because tension ceases. The senses, being but tension of desire for unity between divided parts, have no existence. The senses are electric flux threads of light connecting every particle in the universe with every other particle. They are the intercommunicating nerves of the one universal body. When strain of desire for balance, rest or unity ceases, sensation ceases.

In your electric universe, sensation is the strain of resistance to the separation which exists between all separated masses. All matter is one. Separated particles desire to find that oneness. It is part of God plan that the senses are limited entirely to the recording of a very small fraction of effect. The senses can never sense the Whole but the conscious Mind can KNOW the WHOLE.

Therefore, I say to newly comprehending Man of his cycle; Love one another –all; for you are ONE IN GOD. Whatsoever you do to ONE IN ME you do to all, for all are ONE IN GOD. Love your brother as you learn to love yourself –but first you must learn to love yourself. Lift high you brother, lift him to high pinnacles, for your brother, after all, is self.

Know the difference, however, for prideful love of ego self, or nation of selves, turns neighbor against neighbor, and nation against nation. Ego self-love breeds hate and sows seeds in all the winds to blow wherein they will. Wherefore, love of neighbor for neighbor, and nation for nation, unites all men as ONE.

Serve first your brother. Hurt first yourself rather than your neighbor. Gain naught from him unbalanced by your giving. Protect the weak with your strength, for if you use your strength against him his weakness will prevail against you, and your strength will avail you nothing.

He who gives love prospers mightily; but he who takes aught gains naught. Why lose all to gain the world, gaining nothing? He who has not laid up a treasure in heaven to equal treasure gained of earth has sought the dark and for him the Light is indeed far.

NEW CYCLE

This coming time era (age) will mark an epochal advancement in Man’s evolution toward his goal of omniscience and omnipotence. Man becomes a higher being with his goal of omniscience and omnipotence. Man becomes a higher being with greater power as he acquires knowledge. In knowledge alone lies power. Only through knowledge can Man become co-creator with God. Knowledge can be obtained by Man only through awareness of the Spirit within him. Lack of that awareness is the tragedy of today’s civilization.

During the last century or so of the greatest progress in the history of man, great nations of the world have killed, robbed, and enslaved other men to build their own empires. Today Man has killed millions, condoning his killing as necessary for his self-preservation. He is now reaping the seeds of his own sowing. He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword. No man can hurt another Man without condemning himself to greater hurt.

Fear dominates the world of today. While fear is in the world, love cannot also be. Love can never dominate the world until Man ceases to live a primarily sensed existence and knows the Light of the Spirit within him.

This age brings man one step nearer to the universe of greater knowing through greater comprehension of Man relation to man, and to God. Each past cycle in the growth of Man toward higher levels has been illumined by the few inspired messengers of the Light who have known God in themselves.

New inspired messengers who know God in themselves will likewise give the Light to this new cycle. And these few messengers of the Light must multiply to legions, for the need of a spiritual awakening is great.

Man’s whole reason for being is to gradually pass through his millions of years of physical sensing into his ultimate goal of spiritual knowing. Man has now reached a transition point in his unfolding where he must have that knowing. He can acquire that knowing only through greater awareness of the Light of the universal Self which centers him as ONE WITH GOD.

TWO SUPREME ILLUSIONS OF MAN

The secret of Light is fathomable to man only by first solving his two supreme illusions. The greater of these is the illusion of the universe itself. Man has never know his universe for that which it is in reality, but only for what his senses have made him believe it to be. His senses have deceived him mightily.

The other is the illusion of Man himself. With but few exceptions, Man has never as yet known Man. Nor has he known his relationship to the universe, nor to his still unfathomable God. The little that Man knows of himself and his universe is what the eyes and ears of his body have told him that they have seen and heard about himself and his universe. But Man has eyes and ears of the Spirit which see and hear what Man sensed eyes and ears can never see or hear, for man is still too new in his unfolding. He is still but in the ferment of his beginning –which is seeming to also be very near his ending.

Man senses motion, change, sequence, multiplicity, time, activity, life, death, good, evil. Of these things he is most certain. His senses have made him most certain of their substantial reality. In the face of the fact he has lived with his familiar universe all his life, it is not easy for him to accept the statement that it has no existence whatsoever, that it is all illusion, all of it, nothing being left upon which to even base that illusion. He can accept the illusion of the railroad tracks meeting upon the horizon, but the railroad tracks are real, even though their seeming meeting is not. They, at least, still remain as basis for their own illusion.

A mirage of a city is comprehensible to man also as an illusion. He knows it does not exist but he also knows of the reality of the city which thus repeat itself, ghostlike, in the mirrors and lenses of light waves of the heaven above the city. To tell him that the city, as well as its own mirage, has no existence is to lay too heavy tax upon his credulity and patience.

Yet that is what the very secret of light would reveal, and that is what you must tell, simply and convincingly, to layman, churchman, and scientists alike, and in the language standards and methods which each requires for his conviction. Thus comes forth our work in the manner laid-out that each might come into understanding within his given realm of perception.

So you must come, therefore, and know God, His Universe, and Man with other eyes than your sensed ones. The eyes of the Spirit are knowing eyes. God’s universe of knowing is all that is. The universe of seeming motion simply does not have existence. Therefore, why be a slave to sensing when you can be as God in your knowing?

Without thinking, God’s One Idea could not become many “one ideas” for His stage setting. Without motion His cosmic play could not be played, not could its actors be. Without change His undivided One Idea could not unfold. Without time His drama of His own creating universe could have no sequences. Without motion, time, change, and sequences the unfolding of God’s mind imaginings could have no measured space for its stage settings, no screen light projections.

Therefore, see them as God imagines them, but know that they are but unfolding patterns of His knowing through his thinking. Know therefore, that time is naught, nor are there moving things which change; nor is there life, nor death, nor cold, nor heat, nor good, nor bad in His universe of Himself.
