Science on Evolution Lecture March 8, 1961
Good
evening, Friends. It is wonderful to have you all here this evening, and I feel
sure that there are many of us who have met before in the long, long ago in the
shadows of temples or in great halls and places of history. That is one reason
that has made this all possible, for this is today the millennium. This
millennium started actually in 1945 with the explosion of the first atom bomb.
That explosion ushered in not only the atomic age, or even the space age, but it
was much more important in many other aspects to an interdimensional cycular
junction wherein, we will say, that in a sense there are, astrophysically
speaking, interdimensional agencies and other different forces in effect,
certain peoples of the world who would of this time and of this place and in
this age, enter into what could be more specifically defined as personal
liberation—liberation in a sense that each and every one of you have been
karmically involved in various lifetimes in the past hundreds or perhaps
thousands of years.
The mere fact
that you breathe air, you are able to sustain life, you are part of an organized
society in some respects is an overwhelming testimonial that you are products,
in a pure and simple sense, of a certain evolution—an evolution which is part
earth life and part spiritual. Actually, as far as all humanity is concerned—and
in fact it is also true with every organic creature which is so sustained with
some life process on the planet earth—the various continuities in life
transpositions are interdimensional in all aspects; that is, these things are
only made possible through a certain junction, a certain principle or element, a
dynamic creation.
I
believe that we are all very consciously aware this evening that the earth, in
its present state, is in a very chaotic condition.
Man is raising his voice against his neighbor; nations are raising their voices
against each other. We are seeing daily the rise and fall of different systems
and different ideologies, and it all bespeaks very eloquently of a great
transition and a great metamorphosis which is taking place among the peoples of
the world. You as individuals should be very vitally and very consciously minded
not only for your own welfare but in respect to the fact that you are also an
integrated element of humanity—not only of the planet earth but of a sustained
system of planetary systems which evolved in the spiritual dimensions and that each
one of you are, in yourselves, a definite element, a definite participle of
expression of a great Infinite Intelligence.
Today in our
space age science and, in fact, other denominations of life as they are so
specifically outlined in our society, are acutely and consciously aware that
there is much more to life than that which has heretofore been supposed and that
life, in itself, can be extended on to include the infinities of not only our
own particular galaxy in its position to the universe, but the universe itself
and the many universes extending beyond this one; yet these, in themselves, are
only small fractions of the whole because tightly woven, interconnected and
in-between, this seeming space is very solid. It is solid in respect to the fact
that there are many dimensions, as was pointed out by Einstein, and they are
becoming generally recognized in this scientific age. Today, only the very
hardened, shell-back, reactionary person maintains a position which he
reluctantly and grudgingly admits—that life is possible on other planets or in
far-off solar systems. Our science of today—in its rocketry, in its program of
satellites, and various different interplanetary probes—is trying to seek out
ways and means to establish communication or contact with any possible life in
any other planetary systems.
We
have at this time a very fortunate position in respect to our own selves
personally. We can, in
common denominators and in nomenclature which is familiar not only to yourself
but to the scientist, define life in so many more dimensions than heretofore has
been possible. Life, in itself, now is not earthbound but seeks to escape the
trammels and vicissitudes of this earth life. The principle of evolution
itself as a dynamically sustained ingredient in your own personal development
demands constant and successive extensions of knowledge into unknown dimensions.
You, yourselves, within the dimension of your own mind are spiritually
quickened; you are cognizant of the fact that here on this earth you are still a
spiritual creature and embodied in a physical body, reacting to a certain set of
reactionary elements. But always, the sustaining principle of spirit as the
dynamic principle of life comes through. It is the ever-prompting, the
ever-motivating, the ever-wise and the all-inclusive intangible that gives each
and every one of us our motivation, our purpose for life.
And so, as we
look back into the past histories in the ages, there have been certain personal
Avatars who have entered into this earth world and tried to explain certain
intangible or spiritual elements of life as they were begun to be lived in their
own particular time and place. Socrates was asked how to become wise and
he said, "Know thyself". Jesus put it another way. He said, "Seek
ye first the Kingdom of Heaven which is within, and all things shall be added
unto you". And so, as of this present day and of this time in the
turmoil and strife which is ever about us in our everyday lives, and which has
been constantly expressed in what appears to be complete contradictions to all
known principles, Christian or humanitarian, we, in ourselves, must be firmly
rooted on the rock—the rock of understanding.
And
what is understanding? What is it to know thy-self? How are we to find the
Kingdom of Heaven which is within? These are fundamental principles which must
be learned by the individual. They cannot be extracted from any known
philosophies or sciences as they so exist on the earth today, because these are
the intangible, spiritual elements which have sustained us through our
evolutionary course—spiritual
elements which fortunately now can be, to some extent and to some degree,
verified by our present-day science. In this respect and in respect, too, to
those who are probing the hundreds of billions of light years into our unknown
cosmic universes, to those who are probing with satellites into the unknown and
to you, as individuals, seeking your own way, your own destiny and who are
always imbued with the spiritual motivating principle of life within, you must
all form definite conclusions within yourselves. You
must all take a certain definite constructive pattern of thought and action; and
these things, in themselves, are not found within the domains of earth-life
dispensations. They are within the Kingdom of Heaven.
And
what are these sustaining spiritual principles?
Fortunately, we do have the science of today; we do have certain particular
definite dispensations of science wherein we can set forth into a constructive
plan of learning whereby we shall find out about the Infinite. We shall
find out what is the principle and what is the purpose, at least to some
feasible ultimate—an ultimate which you perhaps cannot envision within the
dominion of your own present-day consciousness as it is sustained in this earth
life but will in the future eons of time and in countless reincarnations which
you will survive as definite human beings. You will attain certain perspectives
and certain unknown dimensions which now remain as merely intangible.
We
can begin first by realizing that this earth as a whole is neither the place for
cause nor is it the starting place and that whatever happens on this earth is a
direct result of something happening in a higher dimension.
It is an interpolation and an integration of certain junctions of psychic
consciousness or cycles of transpositions and which always have their effect in
the lower or the atomic structures which compose the material world. And whether
they are composed within such familiar objects as surround you in your community
life or with various associates or with your own personal life dispensation, the
activation, the motivation is always originated in the higher dimensions.
To
understand this more properly, we must approach the Infinite as something more
tangible and realistic in our consciousness.
We must use the Infinite not only to supplant all age-old customs of religious
systems of which certain deistic configurations assumed godlike proportions, but
we must visualize the Infinite as the Supreme Consciousness, the Supreme
Intelligence, the Infinite Expression which not only makes life possible in the
atomic form and which constitutes your body (which is really energy in another
form) but which also makes evolution possible for you in the higher planes of
consciousness.
What
is the Infinite? The Infinite, for practical purposes, can be described as the
sum and total of all known and unknown substances, the visible
and the invisible. The Infinite is a constant, ever-expanding perspective
of consciousness which makes its own personal realization in our daily lives, in
our acts of consciousness toward our fellow-man in our associations in our
community life. This is the Infinite
and in this respect, you as individuals, always have your face turned toward the
Infinite. There is always some new horizon to be explored, a new vista to
be circumscribed within the consciousness of your own mind; and so the Infinite
does always expand. We must realize the dynamic, ever-expanding and
progressive principle of the Infinite, for in order to be Infinite, it must
sustain itself constantly in an infinite number of forms and in a constant and
never-ending, regenerative fashion.
The
Infinite is neither good nor evil, but is only associated in our personal
relationships in comparative values
as to whether these particular transpositions are following straight-line
courses, neither reactionary, or that they are assumed reactionary in our
various viewings of these happenings. So good and evil are created within
the mind of each one—necessarily so, because we must have a point of equation.
The Infinite must always compose itself in consciousness as two diametrically
opposed polarities and in which consciousness is sustained in an oscillating
process, a transposition of thought which levitates itself from one dimension
and from one sphere of consciousness to the next.
So
life becomes a reality, not in the sense that you, yourself, are a personal
being in respect to this life, but as you are in respect to the Infinite, a
re-creative entity of consciousness with the Infinite. This, in itself, is
sufficient to deflate any false ego structures which
most people have erected about themselves and found necessary to sustain a
reactionary course of existence on planet earth. However, the reactionary
principle is neither valid nor effective in worlds which are somewhat more
spiritual in nature than the planet earth—worlds in which we become living
objects or entities, living forms of consciousness, human beings, or whatever we
wish to call ourselves, in
direct ratio or proportion as to how well we can incept Infinite Intelligence
and radiance within our own minds, our own bodies.
You who are of
the earth as of this day are learning certain basic fundamentals in these
principles—principles which can be considered in this particular time and
place as reactionary in nature simply because your mind is, consciously
speaking, singular, you must extract from time to time singular attitudes and
aptitudes for these attitudes to manifest themselves. You must, in a
sense, imbue them into your psychic anatomies so that they become conscious
realities for your future. This is necessary, inasmuch as every
individual has within himself not only great fear of the future but also has
great fear of death. Perhaps this is not so; at least, I hope not among
you who are sincere truth seekers, and I am assuming that whatever you have
studied and whatever you have pursued, and especially with your contact with
Unarius, you are now sufficiently levitated to enable you to obtain a
constructive perspectus of Infinity. But life will become an ever-increasing, an
ever-expanding dimension of consciousness, not necessarily sustained from the
reactionary principle of singular, selective reactionary purpose as it is
contained in the earth world dimensions but as it is a universal function of
Infinite Principle, constantly regenerating itself, constantly assuming new
forms, new manifestations; and you, in yourselves, becoming such conscious
entities, conscious participles in Infinite Expression, do so continue your
evolution in a much more constructive fashion.
For
here, this terrestrial world is still, in effect, a jungle;
and you have heard it called as such, a jungle in which it apparently seems that
each man survives simply by the old reactionary principle as it was explained by
Darwin, the "survival of the fittest", a competitive way of life
against your fellow man. And even though he is your friend and you can shake his
hand, yet it is so, that the very substance of your life and the very substance
of his life are reactive components in which you extract from each other.
Mankind as a
whole in an earth dimension can be considered parasitic to himself simply
because he has not yet succeeded in expanding the dimension of his consciousness
to include that ever-expanding supply of Infinity, Infinity which, as
consciousness, can regenerate and constantly regenerate within the dimension of
his own consciousness. It can give him complete mastery over the old self, the
old carnal law of the jungle, where he survived back in the long ago in the dim
past as some creature born in a primitive terrestrial earth; and in a sense, you
are now functioning with the Infinite, and as
an entity of Infinite Consciousness, you are traversing those great spiritual
dimensions.
As
Jesus said, "In my Father's house, there are many mansions,"
and you, each and every one of you, are destined to find these various mansions;
yet you shall never come to the end of them, for such is Infinity. It always
presupposes; it always interjects and it always sustains itself in a
never-ending and unceasing dimension of expansion of consciousness, for such is
the purpose of the Infinite; and it could not be sustained otherwise. It could
not ever be envisioned that there would be a terminating point, for this is a
constant, cyclic progression which sustains the individual entity of
consciousness through infinite dimensions.
And yet, these
things need not be repetitiously spoken; they can be scientifically explained in
the modern nomenclature of the scientist. Each one of us can begin to learn to
understand the Infinite, first, by transposing our consciousness as an exterior
or outer configuration where we see reactions upon reactions as they are
superimposed upon the consciousness of the earth minds. We
must see and realize the ultimate purpose, the infinite expression behind all
things which remain either intangible or reactionary to us.
And
what is this sustaining, ever-regenerating principle?
It is the great invisible worlds as they are composed of a vast and unending sea
of energy—energy in vortexes, energy in great cyclic manifestations,
energy in hundreds of millions of different atomic constituents—not merely the
98 odd elements that are known to the earthman but energy in an infinite manner
and form, energy which is constantly recreating, regenerating itself according
to principle—principle which sustains it as the Infinite Substance of all.
And
so the sine wave will become a very vital and a very necessary starting point in
your evolution. You can
see the sine wave as an expression in your various daily life transpositions—a
sine wave being a simple up-and-down wave form of energy of which there are two
opposite polarities, carrying between them the conscious entity of
expression. These are the sine waves which you find in your daily life—the
reflections of light from various objects which are focused from the lens of
your eye to the retina. There they are transposed to the transistor brain cells
into the psychic anatomy to again react; and in the conflux of
harmonic regeneration, the sine waves sustain certain chain-like reactions
through other centers of the psychic anatomy to suitably render biases with your
past, and to also include in times most necessary other biases which can be
considered more infinite in nature, more inspirational—those things which you
have had in your darkest hours. Those biases which, in themselves come from the
great Infinite Intelligence, have been the principles which sustain the earth
life. They have made it possible for you—unknown by you—to regenerate within
your body every minute of your life one million five hundred thousand new cells,
a feat which cannot be duplicated by science.
You will find
as you journey into the future that the world is not solid. You must become
infinitely minded in the sense that now you must abandon the old reactionary
principle of man against man, element against element. Instead, we will
supplant this concept with a much more logical assumption of consciousness which
is supremely self-explanatory in every detail. It is magnificently portrayed in
all things of which we are conscious. It lends its secret meaning to a
vast implosion of Infinite Consciousness within ourselves. It levitates us from
the mundane sphere of material consciousness and literally hurtles us through
unknown dimensions of consciousness into the infinite vistas of space; for
man, in truth, does in such manner and means become an integrated element with
Cosmic Consciousness, with those countless billions of people who
inhabit other planets in far-off solar systems, with those who live in higher
dimensions or who live in spiritual planets, or with others who have gone on
into even greater and more far-reaching vistas of infinity.
This
is the message; this is the purpose of Unarius, to explain these things
to you tangibly, realistically so that you can incept them and use them into
your daily life. It will
explain to you all of the hidden and unknown elements, the psychological
principles behind the unknown psychology of our time, the causes and the cures
of all incurable diseases. It will explain to you the purpose and the
realization because Unarius is infinite in its science, in its dimensional
aspects. It is neither a religion nor, in itself, a terrestrial science,
but is an interdimensional science. It is, in effect, a restoration of the
Gospel preached by Jesus two thousand years ago, who explained it so simply and
so harmoniously that even the barbaric savage could understand it. He taught
self-emancipation from the empirical, dogmatic, rhetorical systems of the world,
and yet for this, he was crucified, and he and others like him— some
less, some even greater in stature, perhaps—all laid aside the mantle
of human flesh as a token of submission to those who would still live by the law
and the sword—submission only in the fact that in this submission they became
supremely wise and demonstrated the continuity of life beyond any question of
doubt.
Two
thousand years ago at the crucifixion, they took the philosophy of Jesus, the
simple psychology of life, and they warped it; they distorted it; they created
of it the effigy of a church system, and they forever defamed its purpose. They
forever destroyed its utility for mankind.
So Jesus lives today in the churches throughout the world as a symbol, not as a
purpose and not as a principle in which people—you, I, and everyone—could
realize a much greater, a much more abundant and a more peaceful life on this
planet.
Jesus said,
"Do not pray as does the heathen, on street corners nor in public places,
neither in temples nor in synagogues but retire into thine own secret closet and
seek out the Father who is within that He may reward ye openly." If
you will think for a moment, that in that principle how could it be that any
church system could be sustained? It could not! It was for that
purpose that those who followed after succeeded in warping, distorting and
confusing the whole concept of personal spiritual emancipation into a dogmatic,
rhetorical system of effigies and symbols, a system which has held mankind
enslaved for almost two thousand years. And yet, here again man is only reliving
the old symbology of the past, for this, in itself, is proof of his
reincarnation—that out of these old symbologies in the distant ages in which
man was spawned from the mud of the earth, he learned of the deistic forces and
configurations which confronted him; the unknown elements became gods,
spirits, demons, ogres, and he relegated them into their own mythical dimension
of consciousness and endowed them with his own particular personal
vicissitudes. And he also gave them his long dreamed-of, hoped-for
powers of personal emancipation; but the gods could never become any more or
less than those who believed in them.
And so it is as
of today. How many Christians know that Jehovah or Jehowah is the old
Chaldean god which was worshipped by the Babylonians more than three thousand
years before Father Abraham, who led the first Israelites out of this
forgotten land? How many know that the Koran is the first five books of the Old
Testament? How many people know that the stone in the citadel of Mecca is the
meteorite which fell at the feet of Abraham in the Evangelistic mission through
ancient Chaldea before he started the migration? And
yet Jehowah is perpetuated into Christianity and became known as Jehovah, a god
which was the fiery furnace of Nebuchadnezzar, a huge bronze image with a hollow
stomach and a big door heaped high with a fiery furnace used to liquidate
political prisoners and other malcontents in the kingdom.
It was Jesus
who tried to destroy Jehowah, or Jehovah. It was Jesus who tried to destroy all
the mystical and mythical rites which had been sustained by the Jews throughout
their history more than two thousand years since their migration—things which
had led them from out the land of Egypt in the forty years of wandering through
the wilderness. And how successful was he? Yet you and I as individuals are also
vitally concerned, not only with our own future but with the future of mankind
in general, for we are never more or less than those with whom we associate. Our
associations are, in themselves, the denominators of our plane or elevation of
consciousness. In our associations with our fellow man, we find human
companionship, not in the gregarious sense that human companionship is necessary
in a physical mannerism customarily displayed in community enterprises but that
common elevations of consciousness must always be reached and maintained
throughout a general inter-course of society.
This,
too, is part of the pattern of evolution, something with which you will always
be confronted; and in itself, knowledge of humanity, knowledge of or knowing
thyself gives you the choice. It is automatically selective in itself;
and as you learn of yourself, you learn of the humanity with whom you associate,
and you are automatically and consciously selective in the process of when and
where and how you will live, for in the Infinite you will never become any more
or less than that which you can conceive within the secret closet of your own
mind. And if these things
are conceived within the limited dimension of the reactionary earth-life, then
indeed you will find common consort with the materialist, the criminal and the
various other different resurgences. You will find common living patterns with
all those who are striving against life yet wishing and hoping for a better
life. You will find common companionship with those who are trying to dominate,
to coerce, to express all the various reactionary elements in which the
materialistic world finds common expression.
Conversely,
when you begin to attain a more infinite understanding of your place in the
scale of evolution—what you are, where you came from and where you are going,
what the Infinite is in proportion to how this knowledge is acquired—so you
will be levitated into these different dimensions.
I have attempted in some way to describe these places to you in the
various books of Unarius—the spiritual planets—which I have given various
names merely for purposes of identification. People must always have a place;
they must have a name until they arrive at that dimension of consciousness
where they can conceive the Infinite in its more universal entirety where names
are superfluous, as are places. Instead, there is consciousness, an
integration of consciousness universally, which makes names and places
superfluous and which are used only as a means in which we can communicate with
one another and we can sustain communication within the consciousness of our
minds as we incept such various forms of communicative devices throughout our
evolutionary history.
So
life must be lived differently if we are to find those higher spiritual mansions
of which Jesus spoke. We
must learn to picture the Infinite infinitely, that the earth is, as I have
said, neither the starting place nor the cause. It is only the effect and is
only one of the countless places where so many different configurations of the
same form of consciousness are transpired, not only instantaneously; but so far
as time and space are concerned, they have always been so expressing themselves
in different forms and in a different consciousness, and they shall also
continue to do so eternally.
You,
as an element of consciousness, are selective only on the basis of past
experiences, and these
things in your psychic anatomies are reactive to you in the sense that you are
harmonically attuned with them. You are repeating day by day, in new forms
and in new ways, old manners of consciousness, old forms of consciousness. You
call them by different names, yet they are basically and essentially the same
things which have been with you throughout the ages; and yet, as
of tonight, this may be the breaking point. This may be the place where you
officially terminate that particular form of oscillating consciousness,
that is, as far as practical purposes are concerned in respect to a personal
evolutionary future which is both progressive and constructive in nature. This
terminating point is complete dedication, the complete resolution within
yourself that from now on you can become and you will frequently be your own
worst enemy—the old self—from the dogma, the creed, the rhetoricism which
was impounded in your past lives. The necessary mandates of your
evolutionary flight into the present will now become the ogre which will haunt
you, which will always tempt you—the devil with the horns and the tail—which
will constantly try to superimpose itself in your daily life. It will
find innumerable ways and disguises, and always you must come to your own
personal rescue. Your knowledge of the Infinite will become your life preserver,
your lifeline. You will always be able to level off these various
differences in mental temperaments which come to you from out of this past.
You will always
find there is an equitable answer which can be fully and completely justified,
not in the sense that it is reactionary but that it is all-inclusive and is part
of that ever-expanding, resurgent, regenerative Infinite; this is vastly
different than when you were so personally concerned with the same situation
which was the same reaction as a principle of survival on the planet earth.
Now this has
become a problem of survival in a spiritual evolutionary flight, shall I say,
into time and into space, for time and space are synonymous; they are part of
the Infinite. There are no means of differentiation between time and space as it
concerns the Infinite but only resolves itself into cyclic manifestations as
they are concerned with you in your personal consciousness.
Many years ago,
Einstein presented to the scientific world the space-time continuum theory in
which he mathematically proved that the speed of light was theoretically
fictitious, it was nonexistent, and light could and did accelerate to several
hundred times the known earth speed in interdimensional flights; yet, this was
puzzling to Einstein, just as it has been to all those who have studied space
and time. The simple answer to all this is this: we cannot equate these
things in third-dimensional realizations and consciousness, they must be
integrated in a fourth-dimensional state of consciousness. This
fourth-dimensional state of consciousness is called by some clairvoyance, the
sixth sense. You all have it; there is no one on this earth who does not
have it. In fact, no one could live on this earth without it, for it is
actually the manifestation of a great principle within each and every man which
is sustaining him in his evolutionary flight.
The paranormal
or the clairvoyant aptitude—if I can use this phraseology as it is relative to
any person—is only the first beginning, the first stages of consciousness when
man really becomes consciously aware, in a material world, of something which is
an extended concept of consciousness in another dimension. That dimension has
neither time nor space and therefore, so far as the speed of light is concerned,
time is nonexistent simply because instead of a sine wave, which has a beginning
and an ending point, all things are cyclic in motion. They contain themselves as
a cycle, a definite entity of consciousness in their own particular oscillation.
They convey to Infinity their own particular and subjective attitude and they
are harmonically interlocked through harmonic regeneration with all forms of
consciousness throughout the Infinite. It is not possible for anyone to think a
thought without it being directly linked to the great Infinite, to all of the
dimensions, to all of the many mansions. There is a direct relationship
harmonically attuned with every living human, with every living thing on this
earth, with any other living thing on any other planet and with any other higher
world than this. Your
thoughts are not private. Interdimensionally, they are common property to those
who, like a radio set, can tune into your thoughts.
And
what do your thoughts become? Your
thoughts of the moment will become your tomorrow—your future—because
here again we have destroyed the illusion of time and space, for the future is
here now. You will never have any other moment than that which you have in the
immediate present. What you do at this particular moment will be vital to you
throughout your entire evolution, just as what you have done is vital to you now.
This
is the common harmonic interplay of infinite, resurgent regeneration which some
people call God, and
which, as was explained by Jesus, is the Kingdom—the Father which liveth
within, the Kingdom which was the activating Principle, the purpose and the
continuity of expression throughout Infinity. The regenerative All—the Father,
which is the Creator—created all forms and substances.
How, then, can
any man set himself over another? How, then, can any man say that he is vested
in some holy raiment, he must dispense spiritual virtue and guidance to his
fellow man, and he is his brother's keeper when the very keystone in the
arch of evolutionary progression is self-emancipation and freedom from all
rhetorical systems, pedantic attitudes and dogma? Jesus taught it two
thousand years ago, so did Buddha, so did many others—personal freedom of
thought and mind. Only in this personal freedom can we find an
interrelationship with the Infinite—not guided by the dictates of some
subversive mind which may be psychotic or even obsessed to dominate and
influence—and can we find a purpose, a scientific realization in
cause and effect, not as it concerns the earth but as an interdimensional
aspect, a part of that Kingdom.
So the
reestablishment of the gospel of Jesus is beginning to take place in this world
today. There are many who are free thinkers. There are many who have yet not
dared to take that first all-important step. They have longed to but
as yet, they have not had the fortitude where they can completely dismember
themselves as far as their own practical position to the Infinite is concerned
with the various rhetorical and dogmatic systems of the earth.
Emerson said,
"Be thyself; imitation is suicide", yet every day you are constantly
confronted with the never-ending, repetitious, emotional attitudes of people
around you who are like sheep following each other; and like sheep, if they
continue to do so, they may in the night run off the precipice. Jesus said, when
asked where he had been in the three days and nights, "I have been in the
pits of hell teaching to the lost souls, yea, some who have been there even
before the time of Noah." Dante gave an immortal poem about hell. Hell
is a configuration of personal concept in which the human mind or the entity of
consciousness so becomes embroiled within the nonsensical elements of its own
consciousness that it creates a veritable hell for itself. Hell is no more or no
less than is heaven and yet, heaven is not sustained as a principle of
uselessness; no more so than hell could be sustained as a destructive,
never-ending, torturous, abysmal form of consciousness.
So these things
again prove, in themselves, what Jesus meant—that within your own mind
is the Kingdom of Heaven. Conversely, if you so desire, you can find also the
kingdom of hell. The choice is yours, and that is irrespective of
whether you are a member of any church, of any organization, whether you belong
to the Elks or whether you are a Republican or Democrat. These things are, in
themselves, only outward manifestations or attributes of what you believe as
conformity, or form consciousness, in your daily life. Yet from all these
things, each one must extract for himself, infinitely speaking, the principle
and the purpose behind all of this seeming nonsensical, never-ending succession
of interplays of the emotional natures of mankind, for each man is on the
threshold.
He is
developing from a carnal, carnivorous beast as he prowled the jungles; he is
developing in the entity of his consciousness to where he is becoming
spiritually minded. You people present, to some extent, have all gone much
further than this. You have become spiritually conscious and quickened
to the degree that you would gladly lay aside all of these
emotional vicissitudes in which the earth man is so involved. You would
gladly make for yourself a world which is more constructive, which is more
passive and which is, in itself, a much more joyous place to live, a place where
every-thing could be more rationally justified.
What
this all means tonight is simply this: that you have all reached that place
where none of the systems of the world are going to sustain you for any
particular given length of time into the future,
no more so than with the thousands of others out in the world tonight so minded
as yourselves. This is part of your evolutionary progress. You are
destined for higher worlds if you so desire this to be, if you are
willing to put forth the necessary constructive effort, if you are willing to
sacrifice upon the altar of your own personal life the past—the past in its
implications that it has made you an emotional creature, a creature which was
dependent parasitically on a community and the life in which you live.
The freemasonry of the infinite world is compounded as a direct infraction of
intelligence which we incept much the same as a radio incepts the signal from
the transmitter.
The universal
supply is the Infinite. We live in that world, not by food but by our ability to
absorb into our consciousness, into our psychic anatomies, the necessary
spiritual substance which is everywhere about us. Even as we breathe the air at
this moment, so will we breathe the energy of the higher life and we will be
sustained by it, because we know what it is. We realize it just as we know about
the air we breathe or as we know about food—in direct proportion to our
understanding and its inception. We also become constructively minded and
expressive in ourselves in proportion to our understanding to this Infinite. We
become regenerative; we become psychokinetically projective in consciousness and
so we assist materially in the scale of evolution
