Introduction
(Creator 1)
REMEMBER--HOW
TO STUDY
In
studying our work in this New Age school--when we use a word, we expect that you
are going to take the literal meaning as defined by Webster, or any standard
dictionary.
DO
NOT try to attach some hidden meaning to the word, or words. Forget all the
metaphysical meanings, religious interpretations, or any of the allegories which
you might have studied.
If we should wish to express a Truth in allegory, then we will say so.
Remember
that we do not teach a dogma, or set of rules, that we say you must follow. The
only rules we use are nature’s own set of scientific laws, which we have
nothing to do with. This is the way the Great Creator made this Universe, and we
cannot change the rules.
For example, when we use the term "Holy Bible," we are not inferring or implying by this name or term, that this is the only book there is that has truth in it.
There
have been many Avatars which have come to Earth, and have helped to raise the
consciousness of Man. TRUTH is, and always will be, and that Truth is all within
the Man himself.
NOTHING NEW
There
is nothing that we can teach you. We can only help you remember. Most beings
need only to have their thinking stimulated in order for them to bring back to
their conscious mind the facts--for they have lived many lives.
GOD
We
do not separate God from Matter. This must be true, or else God could not answer
our material needs. There is a way in which these results must be obtained. They
are received--for the WORD must be fulfilled.
In
order to work in harmony with the laws of creation--getting good results--it is
first necessary to develop in our consciousness an idea of the nature of the God
who created it. For who can LOVE so great a being as our Creator if we do not
have some IDEA of His Way of working and His Nature.
First
we must bear in mind that Spirit, Soul, and Consciousness all demonstrate or
manifest through matter.
PREPARE FOR THE NEW EARTH
MATTER
Some people try to turn their backs on matter by saying that matter is merely an illusion. This is not true; it is the way they use the word.
It
is quite evident that it would be poor judgment to disregard the substance of
the world, or the plane on which you are operating and functioning at this time.
This would only be a half-reality.
The
second thing to remember is that there was not matter, but God created it. Man
has no right to ignore God’s creation, but must become master of it. For He,
Jesus, is to become LORD OF EARTH. Man did not create matter originally.
For
many centuries, man has had his consciousness of the unseen dulled. He tuned his
whole consciousness to what he could see with the physical eyes alone, and
disregarded the Creator.
CLEANING OF MIND
Man
was a very unsanitary and evil or negative acting person. He--the shedder of
much blood--was not Godly in idea or mind. He killed not only for meat, but in
wars and other murders. But now, man is improving. He is becoming cleaner--at
least, outwardly.
ADJUST OR PASS
Man
is learning that it does not pay to go against basic natural laws. He is getting
rid of the dirt and negative part of his nature slowly, but surely. The overall
level of man’s consciousness is raising, and will now raise rapidly in this
New Age. Those who refuse to adjust will not stay long, but will pass beyond.
When
the name "God" is used, it is always hard to understand as to whether
the Absolute is meant, or the One Existence, or the Supreme Being, who is the
Great Architect of the Universe, or the GOD who is the Architect of our Solar
System.
OUR SOLAR GOD
So
let it be understood that the word "GOD" means the God of this solar
system. For honestly, I have been told that if we get across to man the
understanding of this solar system, then we have done a real good job--and it
will be a pretty swell place to live in.
HOLY TRINITY
The
division of the GODHEAD into the FATHER, SON (SUN), and the HOLY SPIRIT is also
confusing. Although the beings designated by names are immeasurable above the
average man, and worthy of all reverence and worship, HE is capable of rendering
to his highest conception of divinity. Yet, that they are all different from one
another is actual fact.
They
are all present in our world and are actually nearer than hands and feet.
WHERE IS GOD
It
is a literal truth when we say, "In Him we live and move and have our
being," for none of us could exist outside of these Great Intelligences,
who pervade and sustain our world with all LIFE.
This
will be shown from a scientific and material side later in the studies of the
Law and Prayer.
In
fact, this understanding of GOD is very essential in order to work with the
forces of nature.
But,
if you don’t grasp all at once, the understanding of these realizations of the
real GOD and this Solar System, be content--at present--to know that there is a
Great Creator, or creative SENTIENT POWER that sustains us--that pervades all
space and time.
EVIL
Plato:
In the words of Plato, the first expression of the ides is that GOD and nature,
which manifest in all things--seen and unseen-- are working together
CONSTRUCTIVELY for good. That good is the only resultant that is indestructible.
Plato says that Evil is but our own interpretation of the work, or process, of
nature that does not appear constructive.
The
keynote on this subject is: BEING IS ESSENTIALLY BENEVOLENT.
SOUL
Plato
accepted the Soul of Man and the Soul of the World. He called this Kosmos--the
reasoning of Man, or the tool of the Mind of Man, was composed of the same
substance.
This
realization gives Cosmic Divinity or Universal Power and Intelligence--which is
the Soul of God.
MYSTERIES
The
understanding of the Trinity is like all great mysteries of the ancients and
their teachings. It is so simple, and yet, a reality. At that time, they felt
that some would misuse them. This is the reason why they are called mysteries in
this world.
Today,
in the New Age, they are still Mysteries because the mass of the people have
been taught to think in a complicated way in anything they cannot feel, or see,
or touch.
Let
us remember that GOD, and the other Great Beings, are not far away in past ages
of space, or time.
CHRIST
The SUN is the visible manifestation of the ARCHITECT of this Solar System.
The
supreme beauty and good of Man is the imitation of God which finds its
counterpart with the Christian in the "IMITATION OF CHRIST."
FIRST THINGS FIRST
In
learning to do the thing that every Man must do in order to be a Man of God, the
following is out of the First Commandment: I AM THE LORD THY GOD, AND THOU SHALT
HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. There is a reason for this--for it is true that
the Creator, which is the all that is in substance of "BEING" is the
One Mind and Selfless Creator.
EARTH
The
Creator is Self-less because alone, HE senses not; that is, not in the dense
world or psychic world.
Only
through the emotions and senses of His Creative Man can GOD attain the joy and
sorrows of dense matter. You might ask, "Why would GOD want to experience
these sensations after experiencing the bliss in the plane, or realm, of higher
vibration, which is so much greater?"
Why
is Man, then, concerned about Life if he is only a channel for GOD’s
experiences?
KNOW THE SELF
In
the old school of
If
you will take these two statements, and sit quietly in thoughtful mediation, or
just sit and think, you will learn much.
LIFE
Again,
remembering the above, the object of LIFE on the spiritual plane above (in
vibration) in all lives, is a spiritual Man in a spiritual world of reality with
the objective of experiencing joy, and giving continuous joy by and through GOD,
the Creator.
The
Bible says in Rev. 4:11: "Thou hast created all things, and for thy
pleasure they are and were created." Phil. 4:4: "Rejoice in the Lord
always and again say rejoice."
HELL
The
world we live in unfortunately appears so distrustfully reactive. The only hell
man shall ever know is his own.
Therefore,
our joy should start in this dense world by helping to relieve the apparent
disorder of those around us.
Remember
in Luke 11:52: "Woe unto you Conventionalist, for you took away the key of
the sacred science; you did not go in, and those who were entering in, you
stopped."
This
is the real science of Man you are about to study.
PEACE
AND FULLNESS OF LIFE ABIDE WITH YOU.
I
thank the Father for this day,
I
thank the Father for this way,
I
thank the Father for a world so gay,
So
tonight with moon so bright
We rest in pure delight.
