Devine Illiad – Postulates and Axioms

It might be well to review man’s life purposes and desires in simple postulates and axioms for the purpose of building a concept of a balanced civilization.

FIRST POSTULATE
Man lives in two universes; the physical universe of sensing as manifested by his body needs, and the spiritual universe of knowing, as manifested by his desire to seek inspiration from the Light within himself for the purpose of becoming co-Creator with God.
AXIOM
Man and God are One. To the extent in which man knows God in him, he is God and has His omnipotent power.

SECOND POSTULATE
Man lives on two planes—the idealistic or intellectual plane of concept, and the physical plane of the materialization of his concept.
AXIOM
In order to create, man must have inspired knowledge of cause from God and information concerning effect of cause from man. A balanced education should be one in which knowledge of cause and information concerning effect are equal.

THIRD POSTULATE
Man’s whole life is spent in thinking his knowledge into form through action, and resting in order  to repeat his thinking and acting.
AXIOM
The standard of civilization is the sum total of every man’s knowing, thinking and acting.
FOURTH POSTULATE
Man and his environment are the product of his thinking. They are what he made them. Their forms are the images of his conceptions. Conceptions are spiritual. They are cosmic.
Conceptions of idea are never produced. Forms of product are physical. Physical forms of spiritual idea are alone produce.
AXIOM
Cosmic man is transcendent. The product of inspired cosmic man is alone enduring. The product of physical man is transient.

FIFTH POSTULATE
Man desires the omnipotent power of intellectual supremacy and the use of that power in creating himself and his environment.
AXIOM
Man’s desire to create can be fulfilled only through the power of knowledge extended to man by God. Man has no other power. He who desires to create enduring things must knowingly work with God.

SIXTH POSTULATE
Man seeks two kinds of possessions; physical possessions which he creates from materials borrowed from the earth for the use of his body—which must be returned to earth with his body—and spiritual possessions which are eternal and cumulative during his entire unfoldment.
AXIOM
The measure of a man’s greatness is the measure of his knowledge and practice of God’s law of love—of his good or bad judgment in relation to his thinking and his acting, and of the balance he sustains while acquiring his physical and mental possessions.

SEVENTH POSTULATE
Culture is the measure of man’s spiritual and intellectual status, and his environment is the measure of his culture. Culture is the basis of all courtesy, manners, consideration for others, good taste, civility, poise, emotional control, and all personal expressions in ethics and human relations.
AXIOM
A progressive civilization is one in which the qualities of civil human relations are in the ascendant. Prosperity, happiness and peace are dependent upon civil ascendancy, spiritual and intellectual advancement and cultural growth.

EIGHTH POSTULATE
Man’s measure of culture, prosperity, happiness and peace is registered in his environment. Environment is the material evidence of a standard or ideal. A village, town, city or nation reflects its ideals in its environment.
AXIOM
The material of environment is the only product of industry.

NINTH POSTULATE
Ideals are born of inspiration. Ideals reflect the divinity within us. The higher the ideal, the higher the standards of civilization. The higher the standards of civilization, the more beautiful the environment.
AXIOM
Beauty is the symbol of love, balance, truth, and the orderliness of law. Beauty is the keynote from which the octaves of the symphony of Creation are extended in interchanging Light of God’s thinking as expression of His knowing.

TENTH POSTULATE
Beauty is the only product of the arts. Science is the catalyst which binds art to industry. Religion is the science of spiritual expression in human relations.
CONCLUSION
A perfect civilization is one in which art, science, religion and industry are equalized as the result of balanced thought and action.

What is WORKING KNOWINGLY WITH GOD?

What is WORKING  KNOWINGLY  WITH  GOD?
I  have been  enabled  to  do  ten  times  the  amount of  work  I  otherwise  would have  done, and  all  of  it  in a  masterly  manner. 
When I know that  God’s thinking and mine are one, and that I am so consciously aware of His presence at every working moment, likewise consciously feeling my hands to be his hands, my work could not be other than masterly.
To  constantly  work  knowingly  with  God,  never  ceasing,  is to be  constantly  inspired  with  the  ecstasy  of  His  nature.
Knowing  that  I  must  demonstrate  by  my  own  life  that  which  I must  teach  to  other men  my  one  desire through  life  has  been  to live  life  worthily  to  manifest  the  power  in  me  which  God  gives  to every  man  for  the  asking,  and  to  immunize  myself  from  all  that  is unlovely  in  order  that  I could  forever  create  with  Him  that  Beauty Of balanced rhythmic thinking which is His universe. 

What is the measure of your cosmic knowing?
The  measure  of  your  cosmic  knowing  is  the  measure  of  your self  and  God  awareness,  It  is  the  measure  of  your  ability  to dwell  in  the  Light  of  all-knowing  and  to  command  the  thought  universe  of  Creation  with  God  as  Co-creator  with  God.Thinking what you know into imagined forms is expressing your eternal Selfin the invisible universe of Mind.
Giving formed bodies to imagined thought forms, by following up your thoughts with actions, is expressing your eternal Self in the vislble universe of matter. 
That is all that God does, for he controls His electric body as its absolute master. He keeps all of its lnteractions and interchangings in absolute balance, for God is eternally creating his body in the image of his desiring.
You can do likewise, if you desire to only by working knowingly with God. 

Devine Illiad – reading

I will read to you from THE DIVINE ILIAD.
“Great Art is simple. My universe is great art, for it is simple.
“Great art is balanced. My universe is consummate art, for it is balanced simplicity.
“My universe is one in which many things have majestic measure; and again another many have measure too fine for sensing.
“Yet I have not one law for majestic things, and another law for things which are beyond the sensing. “I have but one law for all My opposed pairs of creating things; and that law needs but one word to spell it out, so hear Me when I say that the one word of My one law is
BALANCE

“And if man needs two words to aid him in his knowing of the workings of that law, those words are:
BALANCED INTERCHANGE

 

“If man still needs more words to aid his knowing of My one law, give to him another one, and let those three words be: INTERCHANGE.” RHYTHMIC BALANCED
“Everything that is, is of every other thing that is. All things in My universe are indissolubly united as one. ” From The Divine Illiad

What is motion and stillnes?

All motion is curved and all curvature is spiral. 

That does not mean that stillness is also curved. Motion springs from stillness and returns to stillness. The example of the fulcrum and the lever fully manifests this principle. 

Just as we live in the changing physical universe and the unchanging spiritual universe simultaneously, so also do we live in the universe of motion and the still universe of non-motion simultaneously. 

We will draw a simple picture which you may remember and understand more clearly than you would remember a finished picture of the same thing.

Here it is:

1. You have a desire to manifest an idea of yours.

2. You ask God to give you the power, and the substance to fulfill your desire.

3. God gives you six mirrors of His still Light, all put together in the shape of a perfect cube. Within the six are three more mirrors of His Lights all three set at right angles to each other.

4. God then says: “Here is the power, and the substance you have asked for to fulfill your desire and manifest your idea. My magnetic surveyors have measured it out for you in My undivided universe in the exact measure of your desire.

“I give you free will to do as you wish within the six mirrors of My Light which balance and control your actions from without, and three more balancing mirrors within the six which control your actions from within. For I say to you that these nine mirrors of My Light are My LAW, and they are also the means of enforcing My Law.

“These nine Light mirrors of zero curvature and zero motion are your limitations, and the measure of them is the measure of your desire. You may change their measure, and your limitations, by changing the intensity of your desire, but beyond these nine you cannot go in any direction 

 

“Whatever you do in My divided universe, whether good or bad, balanced or unbalanced, or helpful or hurtful within the boundaries set for you will come back to you in the measure set by you for your own universe of your own desire.

“For long aeons you have built your universe in your own image and desire. You have manifested that image of yourself for ages upon long ages, for you will not know Me in you.

“There will come a time when you shall begin to know the Light of Me in you. You will then manifest Me. You will then build your universe in My image. To know the Light of Me will be your sole desire. To seek and find My kingdom will be your sole purpose.

“What you do for yourself you do for all for all are ONE in Me You may reflect and extend your desire to all the universe to make a world of your desire with the desires of other men, but naught of motion, or change or unbalance, or curvature shall pass My equalizing boundaries set for you and all mankind without being voided where My zero of rest ends all moving things, and begins them again at that zero of rest which is alone in Me.” 

God’s Balanced Universe

God’s Balanced Universe

• God created this majestically balanced, beautiful universe in which man slowly unfolds into the heaven of eternal peace and happiness in the measure in which he comprehends the one great principle of balance in Nature.
• Peace and happiness can only come through that knowledge and its application.
• Balance is the key to happiness and all other attainment, to normalcy.
• An abnormalcy is a transaction in Nature which has not been completed as a balanced transaction. Unhappiness, misery, the agonies of war, the frustrations of life, the crippled and the blind, the diseased and the sick–all of these are not normal because all are the result of uncompleted transactions in life which leave a residue of unbalance in them.

Nature never allows abnormalcies to occur which will in any way upset the balance of the universe. To restore balance she will cause hurricanes to equalize opposite temperature and pressure conditions. She will cause a continent to rise from the ocean or sink under it to adjust unbalanced conditions in earth densities. The ocean bed itself is constantly undulating to equalize earth’s pressures. Every transaction between the two electric forces of Nature is always completed. It begins in zero and ends in zero. No residue remains.

Nature is so completely balanced that the slight effort of a child throwing a ball in the air causes every star in the heavens to contract and expand in unison with the change of pressures caused by that slight action. Planets revolve around the sun with such completely balanced precision that their positions can be mathematically calculated for thousands of years ahead. You could point a telescope into the heavens toward blank space and prophesy that Jupiter could be seen at that point in the heavens a thousand years from now, and it will appear there on time–not one second late, and not a hundredth of a degree out of line. If our lives were as balanced as that there could not be a moment of unhappiness, pain, sickness or any other departure from normalcy in them.

Our earth has its own perfectly balanced position in space from which it never varies one second in a trillion years. It constantly moves to keep that balanced position, but it is moving in balance with every other planet in the system, which also must move in unison. If this earth had free will to do as it chose, as man has, and moved out of its orbit for even one hour, not one man would be left alive on it. The oceans would sweep everything off its surface in the cataclysmic disaster which would follow such a seemingly trivial event in our solar family. When the earth got back to its proper position, after such an escapade, the normal calm would return but life and growth would have to start all over again as the affairs of men have to start all over again after unbalanced esca- pades in their businesses. In the meantime the man or woman who got off their balanced path for a little escapade, which seemed too small to affect them, manufactured a lot of unhappiness for themselves. That is what I mean by saying that happiness and peace are impossible of attainment when people are out of their balanced normal orbits.

Assume for a moment that all of the planets in the solar system strayed from their paths, even just a little. Immediately their inharmonious co-existence would cause a solar disaster which would be like a cosmic cyclone in the solar family. Men do that, however, and wonder why they are unhappy and why there is so much suffering and misery in the world. When thousands of businessmen go off their paths by overoptimism, or greed, they bring down upon their heads a world depression or panic. When nations try to take from each other to enrich one by impoverishing the other, two violently unbalanced conditions are created which cause wars. Wars are effects of unbalance which have their cause in man, yet millions pray to God to stop wars which man created.

If happiness, peace, success and all that is good is attainable only by obeying the law of balance, the more we comprehend that principle the more we will be able to keep the human family in orbits which balance with one another, as God keeps His solar family in balance. For this reason let us return to the basic principle of undivided and unconditioned oneness in which balance itself is undivided. Motion is impossible under such a condition. Also effect is impossible without motion. There must be two extended conditions, which are divided from one, to make motion and effect possible. Witness two children sitting together in one united balanced condition in the middle of a seesaw. Motion is impossible, so cause and effect are impossible. When the children are divided and extended to the end of the seesaw they still cannot move for they are in balance with each other and with their fulcrum source. They must interchange with each other by giving and regiving to each other to create motion and effect. Two unbalanced conditions are immediately established which will remain unchanged if the equality of interchange is not varied. The moment that balanced interchange is not equal, however, disaster begins.

You can now understand that God could not dramatize His One Idea of love without dividing it, and extending it, and causing motion between the two by interchanging their divided love, as the two children on the seesaw were divided and extended for interchanging purposes. He created man and woman to know love, and to manifest love by giving and regiving love to each other and to all creating things. He divided man and woman equally in order that they might find unity in each other and interchange equally with each other. To divide man and woman unequally would be like putting a man on one end of a seesaw and a little girl on the other end.

He divided all Creation into equal pairs in order that all divided pairs could find unity in each other, through mutual interchange with each other. For God, the sexless Father-Mother of Creation divided all creating things into oppositely sexed pairs of fathers and mothers in order that they may unite to continue God’s Creation by forever producing more fathers and mothers.

This God did to all things in His Creation–to all creatures above the earth and beneath the seas– to all the elements of matter which compose all bodies–to all the suns, and stars of all the heavens, and to the majestic galaxies which give birth to His suns and stars. The Oneness of all things He divided to make them appear to be countless many things and many ideas instead of but ONE. He divided them into countless twos, and impregnated them with sex urge to attain sexlessness through balanced interchange between the two.

He divided His Light into days and nights and made each one give birth to the other one eternally. He made the dark to give birth to light and the light to give birth to dark.

He divided His life into the life which comes with each inbreathing, and that other life called death by man, which goes with each outbreathing. He made life to give birth to death and death to give birth to life.

He divided matter from space and commanded that each forever give and regive equally that which each has to the other. Likewise, He made space to give birth to matter, through their mutual interchange, and matter to give birth to space.

He divided suns and earths into equal interchanging mates, and placed an equator between their hemispheres to balance their interchanging.

He divided His pure white invisible Light into equal red and blue halves, and placed an equator of pure white light between the two.

He divided the stillness of His universe of rest into vibrating opposed pairs of mates to create interchanging motion, where naught but universal rest is.

He divided His balanced zero of temperature into cold and heat, and made each to give birth to the other.

He divided His knowing into two-way thinking to create a balanced two-way sexed electric universe of interchanging waves to simulate the ideas of His imagining in moving forms made in His image.

Above all other things of import in His Creation He divided His unconditioned balance into two unbalanced conditions to produce effects of motion between interchanging pairs. He likewise made one inviolate law to govern and control all interchanging between all pairs. I will now give you that one law that governs and controls all motion in the universe which includes everything you do every moment of your life. And do not forget that you and I, and everything in the universe, are governed and controlled by that one law.

Do not forget also that whatever is wrong with your health, or business, or any other thing which affects your happiness–or world happiness–is caused by either your ignorance of that law, or by its defiance. Do not forget also that whatever ignorance you may have regarding the forces which control your destiny and your moment to moment happiness, is due to the fact that you cannot see those forces. You cannot see the invisible universe. That is why man ignores it, yet the invisible universe absolutely controls the visible universe.

You cannot see gravity, electricity, balance or truth, yet you are controlled by all of them. They command you, and you either obey them and find harmony, or you disobey them and create discord. If you defy truth by telling a lie you hurt yourself. If you defy gravity you destroy yourself. If you defy balance in any respect you punish yourself in the measure of your defiance. Whatever you do in obedience to that law, or in defiance of it, you are doing to yourself.

Herein follows God’s one inviolate law which all Creation must obey or suffer the consequences of disobedience:

“My one command to all sex-divided pairs of opposites in all My universe is that there shall be balanced, rhythmic interchange in all their givings and regivings”.

From The Divine Iliad

The unbalanced and disunited man-made world we now live in is entirely due to man’s ignorant defiance of this one law of balanced interchange in the givings and regivings of oppositely divided pairs of creating people and things. Every ill which attacks mankind, or causes unhappiness, frustration or agony, is due to unbalance in his actions. Has that thought ever occurred to you?

If you are suffering from heart disease or cancer has it ever occurred to you that you, yourself, created it as surely as that you baked a cake this morning? You did it by defying God’s law of balance in some respect. Nature is normal because it is balanced. Any so-called abnormality in Nature, anywhere, is due to unbalance. Your heart disease is an abnormal condition. Wherever Nature is given a chance she restores all abnormalcies to normal conditions of balance.

The secret of Mind healing lies in the power which is in Mind to command unbalanced conditions in people to become balanced. Jesus had that power because he knew the law. He could extend His balance to others because balance was in Him. He could command, because His knowledge gave Him the power to obey. No one can obey that which he does not know. Nor can anyone command who has not first learned to obey. Nor can anyone heal beyond his power to obey. I wonder why the world has not yet discovered this fact! There is terrible suffering everywhere just because of it. Everyone has a dozen minor sufferings daily because of it, and the world has the tragic sufferings of wars and hatreds of human enmities because of it.

Normalcy requires knowledge to attain and to preserve. The human race is very slowly acquiring that knowledge over its aeons of unfolding. The growth of spiritual awareness transforms humanity only a little at a time during each successive lifetime. You have heard it said that age brings wisdom, meaning that wisdom is the result of a life of countless experiences. If the cause of all the blessings of the world had to be answered in one word, that one word would be balance. Conversely, the one-word answer to all of the world’s ills would be unbalance. Do you not realize then that the human race can only rid itself of its various ills, its wars, its degenerative diseases, its frustrations, failures, hatreds and minor unhappinesses and annoyances through long ages of count- less experiences which teach wisdom?

From this point to the end of the book I will explain in detail why all of the afflictions which come to you, or me, or to all human beings, are due to the fact that we have not yet become sufficiently aware of God’s one law to know how to obey it. We have not had enough experiences to become wise, or we have not profited by those experiences which we have had.

The entire lesson of life, and for ages of lives, is to learn how to equally unite the pairs of opposite conditions of Nature by equal interchange between those conditions which alone result in attaining a balanced state. Until you know how to obey you most certainly cannot command. And you must have knowledge in order to obey. When you do finally acquire that knowledge you will know the cause of your heart ailment and its source in yourself. When that time comes in your knowing you can then command your heart ailment to disappear. It will obey your command to disappear as surely as it obeyed your invitation to appear. It cannot do otherwise.

This new age which marks the beginning of new knowledge in electronics, is also beginning to comprehend the principle of Mind power to command matter, which Jesus alone knew and practiced with resultant certainty. Knowledge of principles, now being written herein, will vastly further this growing new power of man to heal, and to avoid the necessity of having to heal.

It might take many reincarnations of your body to have enough experiences to give you the wisdom and knowledge that you can gain in a few weeks by deeply meditating over these principles. If you will but think them into your Soul you will speedily acquire that power. Remem- ber, however, that you cannot acquire knowledge through your senses. If you just read this book to remember it you will have but recorded pictures of the words upon your brain to remember and repeat. You do not know it, however, until you think it inwardly through deep meditation while alone with God. Until the wave vibrations, which electrically record information on your brain, have found stillness in your centering Intelligence, you do not know it. You have acquired no power through sensing any effect, because power comes only with knowledge. In order to help you to comprehend my meaning the following can be used as a key to aid your understanding.

You cannot know effects. You can only sense them by seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling or tasting them. You can know only the cause of effects. You cannot see cause. All CAUSE lies in the invisible universe, and all EFFECTS lie within the visible. You cannot see gravity, or balance, or energy, or truth, or God, but you can know them. You can see a sunset sky, and you can comprehend it, but you cannot know it. That which is transient, or in motion, cannot be known. The cause of anything cannot be found in matter, for matter is effect which can be sensed but not known.

All cause stems from Mind, not from product of Mind. Likewise, you will much more readily comprehend the law of rhythmic balanced interchange between equally divided pairs of opposites by giving you some examples of the manner in which Nature obeys the law.

Remember the one fact that Nature never takes. Nature gives and regives equally. The important thing to remember is that the electric division of the universal equilibrium into pairs of opposite conditions is equal throughout all Nature. Likewise, her givings and regivings are equal, and in reverse. A balanced universe would be impossible otherwise. Consider your interchange of breathings. That which is given you to breathe in from space is regiven equally by your breathing out. Unless they are balanced you could not survive. The earth gives you your body which you must equally regive to earth. These must balance, even to a milligram.

If you throw a ball in the air you discharge the potential of the earth and add to the charge of space. When the ball returns it equally discharges space and charges earth. Likewise, the ascending ball loses speed as it rises to its highest point. When it falls back toward earth it gains speed in equal but reverse ratio. Like the borrower of money from a bank, the ascending ball is constantly being credited on one side of Nature’s ledger and debited on the other side. When it comes to rest the transaction is completely voided by uniting the two unbalanced conditions as one balance.

Therein lies the whole secret of Nature’s continuity. The rhythmic interchange between the two conditions of debit and credit are so balanced at all times in their equality that there is no resultant tension during the transaction or afterward. Each effect has canceled its opposite effect. Both conditions are unbalanced in relation to their separateness but each separate half is counterbalanced in the other at all times. When any such transaction is completed it cancels out both unbalanced conditions. Nature always completes her transactions. Her books always balance. There are no accumulating residues of unbalance anywhere in her transactions.

Man seldom completes his transactions in any of the many departments of his life. He is continually interchanging with many pairs of opposite conditions and hardly any of them are in balance with each other, or are ever canceled out. That is what is the matter with each individual life and the collective life which has made such an unbalanced world as our world is. That is why John Doe dies at forty when his normal right to live is eighty. In some–perhaps unknown–unbalanced transaction lies the answer to why Tom Smith was born a hunchback and your neighbor’s child is “subnormal”. Unbalanced transactions are recorded in the seed as accurately as balanced ones. Any unbalanced transaction which affects the seed pattern takes several generations to normalize. Very often God is blamed for allowing a child to be born blind when the cause of it may be traceable to a venereal disease in a parent–or grandparent. There is a beautiful tree in our garden with large branches on one side and stunted ones on the other side. Unbalanced distribution of sunlight caused that defect. All such “defects” in your life, and in Nature, have their cause in unbalanced interchange between the two conditions which have created them.

In unbalance lies the reason why your husband walked away from you. Every transaction in Nature has the connotation of mating, and mates must be equal for the products of matings to be “normal.” All problems and unhappy conditions of man are due to a breach somewhere of the law of balance. That is what causes unhappy marriages. A happy marriage unites two unbalanced conditions into one and cancels out the two. Uniting two mates into one means simultaneously canceling out the divided two. When the minister says: “Whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder”, he assumes by that that the two whom he has attempted to unite as one are equal mates. If they actually are equal mates God has actually joined them together and no man could put them asunder if he tried. Very few marriages are between equal mates, however. There are tremendous residues of unbalance in a very large percentage of them. In such cases God has not joined them together. They are still two, for unequal mates cannot become one any more than two halves of two differently sized apples can become one symmetrically and equally balanced apple. Marriage between mates does not mean that sex alone must be balanced. Humans have many pairs of divided conditions which must be voided by unity other than just sex alone.

Divided humans are lonely. Loneliness creates an injurious tension which is completely voided by companionship. Divided humans have innumerable pairs of divided interests which become ONE when united–and I mean united, not shared. When that great rarity of marriage between two equally unbalanced mates voids their separateness completely, they become united as ONE in all conditions, not just sex alone.

Let us consider other perfect marriages which Nature is so rich in, and man so poor. In a wave of water the amount of water which is above its level equals the amount which is below it. That makes a perfect unity possible when the divided mates meet and marry at the crests and troughs of waves. So long as that perfect equality of division between opposite mate pairs is continued, they will be rhythmically repeated. The moment that the slightest inequality between the two unbalanced condi- tions takes place, however, then the danger of a crash begins. In deep waters this will not happen but when the sand slopes up to the water’s edge it becomes increasingly impossible for there to be as much water under the ocean level as above it. Continuity then becomes impossible and the waves crash on the shore as inevitably as happiness crashes in homes thus unequally balanced.

If your car gives you a smooth and pleasant ride you do not even think of your engine, however, you would immediately think of it if its vibrations suddenly threatened to shake you from your seat.

Transcriptions is an AbundantHope.net project. — page. 64

If such a thing did happen it would be because of an unbalanced relationship between the two piston strokes which must continually unite their conditions and reverse them in order to repeat them. You definitely know that you could not continue to drive such a car. It would be dangerous for you –and would shake your car to pieces if it continued.

The most majestic example of a successful and harmonious marriage in all Nature is that of the interchange between those two opposite conditions which we call matter and space. There we find a perfection of balance which spreads out to infinity, without the slightest variance of balance between the vast suns and stars in the universe. Any marriage which could even approach “being in tune with the Infinite” would be the most unified marriage on earth.

Consider how orderly the planets revolve around the sun with such moment to moment precision that an astronomer mathematician can tell where any one of them is to the split second, or where they will be a thousand years from now. That is the way God keeps His home, and His millions of solar and stellar families happily in balance. Solar families must constantly adjust their own desires to harmonize with every unit in them, just as human families should do, but rarely do.

Every planet and moon in the entire solar system moves at tremendous speeds around the sun, but each one of them has to constantly change its speed to keep a harmonious rhythm in the entire system. The speed of the earth around the sun is never the same for one moment. It increases its speed for six months and then reduces it for another six months. Every other unit in the solar system does likewise. There are so many interchanging relations in these great solar families, which have no free will to violate God’s law, that they would fill the rest of this book, but a study of them would tell why God’s universe is eternally balanced and why man’s families so frequently destroy themselves. It is difficult to parallel solar examples in human life for humans have free will in making decisions, whereas the stars of heaven are God-guided. They have no free will.

Man’s opportunity for self-expression began when he first discovered that he could make decisions of his own without having to obey the commands of God’s instinctive guidance. That is when he began to assert his “free will” for self-interest, rather than community interest. He chose to think of himself and what he wanted for himself without any consideration for the desires of others. He took what he wanted for himself by the might of his physical strength. He has not yet arrived at the stage in his unfolding where he has become aware that he is not a separate unit of Creation but an integral part of the whole. He still insists upon taking without knowing that his taking is impoverishing him. He has not yet learned that he can be enriched only by giving. He has not yet learned of his unity with mankind. He still has not learned that every thought and action of his must be for mankind and not for himself.

More important than all else is the fact that he has not yet learned that his free will to do as he chooses is limited to just that and no more. He has the right to his action but God holds the right to the reaction–and they must balance, no matter what the agony may be to him who has to balance an unlawful action. It takes a long time, and countless experiences, for humanity to learn that God is forever working with every unit of His Creation who is working with Him, but He will not work for any unit of it who is working in defiance of Him.

Human beings still think of themselves as independent, separate individuals who are in full control of their destinies and can do what they choose to hurt others without hurting themselves. Those who have learned the lesson that God is forever working with them are the enlightened ones who alone can save the human race from another fall, if it is not too late to save it. These are the ones who have learned that their own personal identity is merged in the identity of the universal Man whom he is. He knows that he is not of himself alone. He knows that all men and all created things are ONE.

That is the lesson which all men must learn, no matter how many lives they must live. That is the lesson they must learn about their relations with other men–but there is still a greater lesson that they must learn. That lesson is how to find their own center of control while learning how to deal with other men. That is the lesson man slowly learns which removes him farther and farther from the treadmill of mere existence and nearer to the spiritual power of Mind knowing, which gives him rest and freedom from life’s treadmill.

The following are God’s own words to man in relation to balance:

“I have but one law for all My opposed pairs of creating things; and that law needs but one word to spell it out, so hear Me when I say that the one word of My one law is

BALANCE

“And if man needs two words to aid him in his knowing of the workings of that law, those words are

BALANCED INTERCHANGE

“If man still needs more words to aid his knowing of My one law, give to him another one, and let those three words be

RHYTHMIC BALANCED INTERCHANGE”

From The Divine Iliad

Cause and Effect

The law of cause and effect always works. When anything goes wrong with you or with the world, your are or humanity in general is responsible, not God. … Gods doing Gods part is what Creation or the outworking of cosmic law means. Therefore, instead of asking God to fulfil Gods part, attain knowledge of cosmic law so that you can harmoniously work with God to fulfil your desire. Anything that is wrong with you is of your own making; therefore, gain knowledge of the cause and of cosmic law.
people who ask God for fulfilment of their desires forget that material things are created only through two-way action. Material things are not created by rubbing an Aladdin lamp or through wishful thinking. They are created through balanced action and reaction.

(Walter and Lao Russell, Home Study Course in Cosmic Consciousness, Unit 7, Lesson 28)

What is man’s relationship with GOD?

God’s omniscience, omnipotence and omnipresence are centered in the consciousness of every man; but few there are who know of the Oneness of their Self-Soul with the Universal Self-Soul.

Man requires many millennia to begin to be aware of that. Each cycle of man brings him nearer to his awareness of his Oneness with the Light of his Self- Source.

Man lives in a bewildering complex world of EFFECT of which he knows not the CAUSE.

Because of its seemingly infinite multiplicity and complexity, he fails to vision the simple underlying principle of Balance in all things.

He, therefore, complexes Truth until its many angles, sides and facets have lost balance with each other and with him.

Truth is simple. Balance is simple. Rhythmic balanced interchange between all pairs of opposite expressions in Natural phenomena, and in human relations, is the consummate art of God’s universe of Light.

It is also the Law. In this one fundamental Universal Law lies the balanced continuity of all creative expression in God’s electric wave universe of two conditioned lights in seeming motion which record God’s One Whole Idea of Creation into countless seemingly separate parts of that Whole Idea.

What is the universal law which lies behind all of the processes which light uses to interweave the patterned forms of this electric wave universe?

The universal law which lies behind all of the processes which light uses to interweave the patterned forms of this electric wave universe.

Is the universe continuous or one-way?

It is a two-way continuous universe of balance in all effects of motion and not a one-way discontinuous universe

from: secret of the light

 

God’s univesal body is a two way compensating, continuous and eternal universe of absolute balance in every effect of motion,

• Generation equals radiation
• Compresssion equals expansion
• Red half of spectrum equals the blue half
• Solid matter balances the potential of its surrounding space in every wave field
• Each one of every pair not only balances its opposite but borns its opposite through sequential interchange
