Mediator-2
Tree
of Life Lesson
Level 1
MEDIATOR 2
In the previous lesson, we learned of the Creative Force and the Power of the Spoken Word. This gives to man ADAM a choice and a control of his life--which we will learn of in the lessons of the Law as taught by Jesus in the Level 2 lessons.
In
the lesson on the Creator, we are actually covering the ACTION brought about by
the God-force. This lesson is the covering of the "WHAT HAPPENS" in
the dense material world which we handle everyday.
By
observation of the denser matter and condition the world is in today, you might
have guessed--by this time--that the Creative Power has been abused. This having
happened necessitates the presence of a Mediator, or, if you prefer--a Medium.
What is a Mediator? It is a person who is the go-between--the channel.
In
order to clarify this word, let us see what Webster says, "Something
intermediate; a middle state or degree; an intervening thing through which force
acts or an effect is produced; any means, agency, or instrumentality."
Our
first scripture reference is I Timothy 2:3-5:
Verse
3: This is good and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.
Verse
4: Who desire all men to be saved and to come to the Truth.
Verse
5: For there is one God and there is one mediator between God and men; the Man,
Christ Jesus.
The
situation in the world as it stands today is that all planes of consciousness
need an awakening.
The
VITAL FORCE, which is Divine and which should be manifesting itself through man,
is absent. Sin is transgression of the Law. It is also ignorance of the Law.
THE
LAW IS SPIRITUAL.
When
man, who is also spirit, violates the Law, the spiritual state of MIND is
disturbed. Man’s denial of Truth and acceptance of ONLY the apparent has
caused the state of Mind to manifest--then death, which is a chaotic condition.
A false state of consciousness swoops down over the creation and lulls it to
sleep--KNOWN IN VERY SEVERE STATES AS DEATH.
The
divine Son of God must then become the Herald--the Messenger of the Mediator.
The Herald shall declare, "Arise and shine! for the Glory of the Lord is
risen upon the Earth."
The
Mediator seeks and saves that which is lost. He is the Divine Humanist. Paul
said that the Mediator is between God and Man--the Man, Christ Jesus. The
Christos translated is to be interpreted "the anointed Savior."
Once
we are fully aware of our Creatorship, we begin to mediate between Light and
Darkness--between the apparent and the real. This is not saying that the dense
world around us is not to be mastered and worked with, but it does say that the
Law is changeless and eternal. Also, that the cause of what is apparent is the
Law working through the Mind and the pronounced word by man given by the
Creator.
Paul
says in 1Timothy 1:8, "Now we know that the Law is good, if anyone uses it
lawfully..." Understand this! The Law is not laid down for the just, but
for the lawless and disobedient. The Children of Earth today are disobedient.
That is why all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.
The
Mediator--also called the Son of righteousness with healing in His
wings--therefore, brings into manifestation the Law. The infallible Law,
therefore, changes the atmosphere from a negative cycle to a positive cycle,
transforming Heaven out of Hell. Since Paul says, "Be ye transformed by
renewing of your Mind," we must, therefore, come to the Consciousness that
the Mediator uses in operation of the Law.
The
Holy Order of MANS teaches that Mind is the Father, that the Body is the Son,
and that the Spirit is the Holy Ghost. Therefore, the Godhead, Itself,
manifesting physically becomes the Mediator.
Jesus
says, "I and the Father are One." "I go to prepare a place for
you and I will come and get you, that where I am, you may be also."
Though
the Power operates through the Son of God, which is man’s physical body, it is
still another form of Mind; for Mind is the primal will for good--the operator
of the Law.
Salvation
is the cleansing and the perfecting of you, individually, through Christ--the
anointing.
We
are the congregation of the Earth gathered in the outer court of the
Read
Hebrews 7. While reading, keep in mind the following, that you may understand
yourself better:
1.
Know that
a real Order of Melchisedec does exist, and that in this chapter many things
about it are described.
2.
2.
Our bodies are the
3.
Our will and personality, the lamb of God for sinners slain.
4.
Our hearts, the Altar.
5.
The Law operating through us is the High Priest.
By
enlightenment of Mind, strengthening of Will, the singleness of purpose, we can
save and unite the world--the entire Cosmos--through Jesus Christ, the
Way-Shower--the first among many Brethren.
Christ
must, and is, returning. The return of Christ will be complete--the return of
Law and Order, Peace, Joy, Justice, Love, and Compassion.
The
Divine SELF will reconcile us to the infinite Law of Cosmic Creation which, up
to this time, has been accursed and cut-off.
The
key, which make you one with the Mediator, is the manifestation of the Christ
Mind in you. The Christ Mind is the Annointed Mind, the Perfected Mind, the Mind
of the Father through the Son (flesh). That is why Paul said, "Let this
Mind be in you...which was also in Christ Jesus, who walked not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit."
In
conclusion, to be finite-minded, or as the Holy Order of MANS teaches it--to be
Lawlessly Minded is Death. But to be Spiritually-Minded is Life.
IN ADAM WE DIE. BUT BY CHRIST, WE ARE MADE ALIVE.
