Earth,
'the third stone from the Sun' and the third Force of the Creative Process
symbolizes FORM/MANIFESTATION in the Outer Realms of Being. Once the 'firmament'
or pneumaplasmic body is formed and maintained, there is the absolute
certainty that the outmanifestation of the intent of the creator will take
form of some kind. It could be of human flesh, intergalactic starbirth,
or a new element. But this birth will
follow as surely as the Sun rises and sets.
In
our case, the human being was originally created to be this crossover point
between the invisible realm of cause and the visible realm of effects.
However, because of a massive loss or devolution in Man's natural ability
to generate and maintain pneumaplasm, the manifest form is largely
distorted and only gives partial evidence of the beauty that can manifest
through it.
Let
us enjoy a whole new perspective now on man's true position as 'the crossover
point' in the creative process. Both Uranda and Martin will contribute
magnificently clear meditations for our honest consideration. First Uranda,
will speak briefly on the importance of pneumaplasm, which is really the
first, though invisible Realm of Earth or Form. Then Martin calls us to
rise up and re-occupy our First Estate as Vital Crossover Points on earth
for the furtherance of the true Creative Cycles of Being. They follow each
other naturally as Uranda explains the necessity of staying centered in
the truth of Being, which generates a 'pneumaplasmic firmament', or 'heavenly
atmosphere', and urges us to maintain it all cost. There is no need to
strive or seek to get. The natural ascendant Outworking of the Four Forces
whether in man or in other forms and levels of vibratory substance is certain
if we stay in Attunement with the Way on earth. For here is actually where
all the action is! Right here and now, on earth, in these 'temples
of the living GOD, exactly where we are: All seven dimensions come to
point here ! Again, relax and let a completely new and eminently
sensible new paradigm call you into a whole other as yet unknown but present
state of consciousness. 'Rise up' and LET the Creative Cycle begin to live
through you, bringing you to a fulfillment and joy beyond belief!
Carrying
on from our last supplemental let's listen briefly to Uranda
ON
THE RELATIONSHIP OF PNEUMAPLASMIC GENERATION
AND
THE 'ONENESS OF HEAVEN AND EARTH'.
CONNECTING
HEAVEN AND EARTH
Excerpt
From "A Divine Command"
Uranda,
August 25, 1953
As
we begin to recall our previous meditations along this line, begin to let
go to the understanding of the spirit, we can the more readily see that
when we as human beings, individually and collectively, actually come into
attunement with God we are not supposed to act as if we were separate from
God. This constant contradiction in attitude and expression distorts the
pattern of the vibratory factors in that delicate area where spirit begins
to have meaning in relationship to the things of the physical world.
.
We recognized... that unless there is the generation, development, of pneumaplasm--the
means by which spirit can contact the physical substance of the body itself,
of the mind, the vibratory patterns of the heart--we have no way of connecting
up. And this level where the connecting is first established is a delicate
field, where any ill feeling of resentment or rebellion,... produces a
turmoil, a chaos--not on God's side, but on our side--so that the vibratory
factors are not permitted to connect up. It is like having a pool of water,
a crystal-clear pool in a little brook somewhere, and then instead of enjoying
the clear pool, where there is a visible relationship between the sky,
the trees round about and the pool because of the reflection, the individual
takes a stick and begins to muddy the pool, get dirt into it, and soon
it is not such a lovely thing. Muddying the pool accomplishes nothing.
Letting it be clear, crystal-clear, is the important thing. ...if this
is to be, we need to have a selflessness.

LIFE
IS LIGHT
Martin
Cecil,
...One
of the principles--I suppose it might be called elementary principles--which
we have come to recognize... relates to the fact that man is supposed to
be the connecting link between heaven and earth. He has, as we know, become
something of a missing link. Man is supposed to be the means by which the
oneness of heaven and earth may be revealed. Without man in place the oneness
of heaven and earth is not adequately revealed. Human beings, having become
the missing rather than the connecting link, find themselves involved particularly
with the earth aspect of the creative unit composed of heaven and earth.
In the formation of the individual there is a process by which physical
substance, the physical substance of the earth--the dust of the ground,
as it is called in the Book of Genesis--is drawn into a specific form,
the physical body of man. Something causes this to happen. It is a part
of a process of resurrection. The substance of the earth is lifted out
of the forms in which it was previously, into a new form, the form of a
man or of a woman. There is a cause of course. It would not happen without
a cause. The cause is a heavenly cause, an invisible cause.
.
This process of resurrection is not, of course, limited to what occurs
in relationship to the body of man. Before the body of man began to take
form the substance of the ground had already been lifted into certain forms
which are utilized in the diet of mankind. But all this substance came
out of the dust of the ground, what we might call the undifferentiated
state insofar as specific living form is concerned, of the mineral kingdom.
We can visualize an invisible cause drawing that substance out of the physical
earth upward from form to form until it appears in the physical body of
man. This power, which accomplishes what might well be called a remarkable
miracle, does it without any great evidence of strain or effort. We are
not particularly impressed by effort in the growing of a plant, or even
of a human body. In the view of most it just happens somehow. But nothing
just happens. There is always a cause. The cause is there and the result
appears. It appears more or less easily and naturally, one might say inevitably,
in the development of the various forms all the way through to the physical
form of a man or a woman, and so the physical body takes shape. Sometimes
there are distortions which enter into the pattern somewhat, but we have
some awareness of the reason for such things. We can look beyond that and
recognize the ease with which the physical form of man comes into being.
It is the resurrection of the dust of the ground, carried all the way through
into your physical body, for instance.
.
The trouble starts when the mind of man develops to the point where it
may begin to interfere with the natural, easy cycles of resurrection. Man
is supposed to be lifted, as far as his physical form is concerned, up
to an apex point which would enable the continued operation of the divine
cause to have a means of specific manifestation in dominion, in control,
of the creative processes here on earth. We see that the form of man is
held, then, above the level of the physical earth, the physical substance
of the earth. It has been resurrected to a higher level, and in a sense
it can be visualized as being suspended there by reason of the fact that
something holds it up. The invisible cause maintains it in form. When,
or if, that which holds the physical substance up in the form of the individual
is parted from the form, the physical substance simply collapses and goes
back into the dust of the ground from whence it came. If that which has
been in the process of being lifted up in the human form has developed
a sense of identity, which is the case with ordinary human beings, and
the cause which has held that form in being is separated from the form,
then obviously there is no longer any identity to that physical substance.
It resumes its identity with the earth as a whole. It loses its identity
in a specific individual sense, because there is nothing any longer to
have identity. The substance is there, the same substance which before
thought of itself as having identity, but it is no longer maintained at
a level higher than the mineral kingdom, and consequently it resumes identity
with that level of being.
.
We are concerned, however, with living. Of course this separation process
is what human beings call dying, perishing. Fallen man has been, for ages,
deeply involved with the earth part of the creative unit composed of heaven
and earth. He has, as we recognize, failed to maintain an adequate connection
with the heaven aspect, so that it is a very tenuous thing which, before
too long, inevitably ruptures and there is the experience of what is called
death. By reason of a reverse in his polarity this takes place. His response
has been to that which was of the earth, earthy. His response, the capacity
of response which is developed in the physical form as it is lifted up
in the processes of resurrection, is supposed to remain centered in relationship
to that which is doing the lifting and not revert downward to that which
is in effect dragging the individual down, dragging that physical substance
back.
.
The relationship between man and this manifest creation here on earth has
been on the basis of man's subjection to it. He has claimed, falsely, that
he has been gaining dominion over the earth and all things in it. He deludes
himself into imagining that that is what has been happening. But it is
not at all what has been happening, because man, on the basis of his response,
has placed himself in a position of subjection to the earth and all things
in it; and no matter how he has struggled to gain dominion, and no matter
how he has deluded himself into imagining that he is doing just that, it
is not the fact. His relationship, in other words, to the earth has been
one of subjection rather than dominion. The correct relationship, of course,
is that of dominion; but this does not mean that man would lose any relationship
to the earth--which tends to be the assumption of many religionists, the
intent being, apparently, to get out of the earth into heaven. This is
not a true purpose. It is something which man has devised in his own imagination.
Man has a proper relationship to heaven and to the earth. He must have
if he was created to be the connecting link between heaven and earth. His
correct relationship with heaven makes possible his correct relationship
with the earth, and he cannot develop a correct relationship with the earth
without first finding his correct relationship with heaven. So it is not
surprising that he has failed in his endeavors, because there has been
virtually, except in imagination, an ignoring of the necessity to establish
a correct relationship with heaven. There has been a lot of imagination
in the field of religion on this score, but it has not enabled man to do
anything, in fact. It has just deluded him in imagination, and we have
the world filled with the evil imaginations of men's hearts; and whether
human beings call them good or bad, they are all evil imaginations. Until
man has found his correct relationship with heaven he cannot have a correct
relationship with the earth, and until he has a correct relationship with
the earth he cannot live, for he was designed and created to live in heaven
on earth.
.
His correct relationship to the earth, once his correct relationship with
heaven has been restored, permits the earth to be responsive to him. Man's
attitude toward the earth is that it is not responsive to him; and that
is true, of course, because man is out of place. He takes the attitude
with respect to the earth, and all things in it, that he must impose himself
upon it. He must impose his ideas upon the processes of agriculture, for
instance. He must force plants to grow the way he wants them to grow. He
must eliminate, by various means, the things that he imagines should not
be there, in the way of weeds or insects or something else. He is going
to impose his will upon the forests. He is going to impose his will upon
the minerals of the ground. He is going to get the oil, and he is going
to use it for his purposes. And by his own forcefulness he imagines that
he is establishing dominion on earth. But it is a constant battle. Things
are always going wrong, and troubles multiply on every hand. And so he
must be, according to his own concept, more forceful than ever, and he
must discover more things, get more knowledge, so that he can impose his
will more effectively.
.
This is the process by which man imagines that he is going to gain dominion
over the earth, but he is in a battle with the earth. He is not in harmony
with the earth; he is fighting against it; and his attitude proclaims that
he imagines that the earth is fighting against him. He takes the view that
it is a constant battle with nature in order to maintain some sort of satisfactory
state. What a lack of vision!--because that which man calls "nature'' in
the earth naturally responds to the heaven. It naturally accepts the dominion
of the heaven, and the fact that there is life still remaining on earth
actually proves that fact: that the dominion of heaven is naturally accepted
by the earth. If it were not so, nothing would grow--there would be no
plant life, there would be no animal life, there would be no human life
even--because the physical substance accepts the dominion of heaven, which
draws it into specific form through which life manifests. The fact of your
physical body reveals this to be true. The substance would not stay in
your physical body at all if it were not for the fact that it responds
to heaven. It is responding to heaven, and we see this truth proclaimed
everywhere. Man does not believe it. Man, lacking vision, sees nature as
being hostile to himself. The earth is not hostile to heaven, and heaven
is certainly not hostile to the earth. They belong together, and as the
earth substance responds it is lifted into the various forms, the designs
for which have been established in heaven, properly reaching an apex in
the form of man--male and female.
.
We have seen in our examination of the picture that the substance which
is lifted in that form, by reason of the fact that that substance is responding
to heaven, does not have any identity of itself insofar as that form is
concerned. The identity reaches it from heaven. In other words the true
identity is the heavenly identity. There is no true earthly identity for
anything. The things we see round about us we call by different names.
We say, "That is a fir tree.'' It has that identity to us, but what is
it? It is physical substance lifted up in the process of resurrection by
reason of a force out of heaven. Whatever identity there is in relationship
to the fir tree centers in the force which lifts it into the form which
we call a fir tree. That is the way it looks to us. That is the way the
physical substance looks to us after it has been lifted into that form.
But all identity that is real is in the heavenly realm of being. We know
this from the standpoint of what we call God Being in relationship to human
being. God Being is responsible for lifting physical substance into the
form of what we call a human being, and as long as that form has connection
with God Being it has apparent identity, and that apparent identity the
form tends to imagine is true identity, which it is not; for the very moment
that the separation between God Being and human being takes place there
is no more identity to that physical substance, except the identity of
the earth itself.
.
So in the processes of resurrection there is a coming out of involvement
in the earth state--
I
am speaking of this resurrective process as it works in relationship to
human beings--so that subjection to the earth begins to be relinquished
as subjection, conscious subjection, to the heaven is accepted. And there
is the experience of vision, what has been called illumination. There have
been some rather peculiar ideas developed concerning illumination, but
it is simply the state of consciousness which begins to be experienced
as subjection to the earth is relinquished and subjection to the heaven
is accepted. There is an emergence out of the fog of human consciousness--and
it IS a fog, and in that fog human beings see their hallucinations--there
is an emergence into the experience of light.
.
Now, we think of light in the sense of something bright, or we think of
light in the sense of something which does not weigh very much. These two
applications are involved in this matter: something which is weightless
and something which is bright. I suspect that all of you experience what
you might call a certain amount of heaviness. Heaviness, or the sense of
heaviness, results from subjection to the earth. The sense of lightness
results from subjection to the heaven. As we recognize, there is a cycle
of resurrection. There is a repeated experience of what has been called
rebirth, a process of emerging. But in that emergence there comes an increasing
sense of lightness. The continuing relationship between the individual
and the earth is a different one. The relationship continues on the basis
of the response of the earth to the heaven which is manifesting in the
individual because he has accepted it, and it is no longer a subjection
to the earth. No wonder human beings feel pretty heavy sometimes, because
they are carrying the weight of the earth on their shoulders! We hear of
people who are, so to speak, carrying the weight of the world on their
shoulders; but all fallen human beings are doing it to varying degrees,
consciously or subconsciously. And it is heavy, naturally so. But when
we find correct relationship with the heaven, so that there may be the
correct relationship with the earth, the earth is not heavy anymore. It
is responding, it is coming up, it is anxious to respond. It is its nature
to respond, to raise the face of response to the heaven and to come up,
to be lifted up, to be raised up. It is natural for it to move in that
cycle. There is no strain about it; it does not have to be forced. And
so the physical body begins to be light; it is not such a burden to carry
around. And the expression of life may be experienced, because life is
light. Do you recall, "In him was life; and the life was the light of men''?
So life IS light. If there is a heaviness it is existence, it is a phase
of death. When there is lightness there is at least the beginning of life.
Now human beings have this weighty sense of heaviness so much that they
endeavor to break out of it in various ways, and they have devised means
by which they can have little periods of what they would perhaps call lightness,
but after the little periods of lightness are over the weight of the darkness
comes down again with increased force, and there has been nothing gained
actually.
.
As we move in the cycles of resurrection we begin to sense this lightness,
and it is something wonderful; but when it begins to be experienced human
beings do not yet know adequately how to give expression to that which
is fitting to the light and they tend to translate it into human terms
in various ways. If they are feeling good, well they want to express it
somehow. That is all right, but usually the patterns they use are old patterns
which they used before in the world of man, and when they begin to let
it flow through those patterns, pretty quickly they are right back down
where they started, subject to the earth again. There is a divine design,
of course, in which light should manifest; and light also, we recognize,
is closely related to truth and to love. Love, truth, life--light, lightness.
.
...That
is what gives evidence of an Emissary of Divine Light; not a person struggling
to support the weight of the world's woes but an individual who is leaping
upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills, because everything is so light.
Let us be alert to lightness, and as we begin to become increasingly aware
of it, let us be careful not to translate it into human forms, because
we will fail if we do. We need to discover the fitness of expression for
that which is light, that the light may truly shine through the perfect
works. If we do something which is supposed to be perfect in our daily
tasks and we make the thing to be a burden, then we are not doing it perfectly.
We could not do it perfectly on that basis, because light is a part of
the perfect equation, and in lightness we find life, and in lightness we
find vision. Vision and life go together.
.
In our meditation upon this principle, could it be said that there has
been an increase of light and lightness? That is illumination.
