The Twenty-fourth Saying (Part 8)

“The Man having concluded his statement, a second Companion of The Way said, ‘I was wondering if the vibrational frequency of the earth could be magnified at that time when the Seven Teachers from the world religions embrace this Teaching?’

“The Man replied to this question by saying, ‘The more teachers and the more following, the more impact we are going to have on the world. The coming forth of the Seven Teachers of the Ecumenical Order of the Churches and Religions of the world, of course, is destined. However, there is a matter of suppression that is facing us. Our problem is that the Powers of Darkness will marshal the nations of the world and the State religions against us. Those are the religions to be feared, the religions of the State, in which the State is considered to be the image of goodness and the leader of that nation the great prophet.

“‘Peoples are inclined to serve these prophets and State religions. The State is becoming a living god – it feeds the people, cares for them, provides their material and social needs. The god is bountiful as long as homage is paid to it. As a consequence, the State has become the epitome of the Powers of Darkness because it has a tendency to suppress religion and all spiritual expression.

“‘What appears Good is not Good at all, because fear is used to suppress the people. Large standing armies are maintained; police control is emphasized. All must obey: people and weaker nations. All are threatened with destruction if the will of the State is not strictly followed. With the suppression of spiritual forces, the psychic powers take over and the State and its people are threatened by powers beyond human control. I am not speaking of any one country, but rather of a state of mind that seems to be taking over the world at large.

“‘Therefore, it is the unification in Ecumenical Order of adherents of the Image and the Word in this Church that will create the vibrational frequency necessary, which will come from the sun, not from the earth. Nothing that we can do on this earth is going to restore it to goodness. The restoration must come from the physical sun and the spiritual Sun. The Sun is the only means available to us. Teachers cannot of themselves alter the world. They can only create an Order. Together, Teachers and the Order can influence the sun of the solar system and pray for the Power of God from the Sun of Righteousness to restructure the world.

“‘This Church, and humanity as a whole, is faced with a tremendous struggle. But we, as Teachers and as members of the Order, do have a priceless treasure – a spirit reborn, a Soul which we can use for the duration of our lifetimes here. It is our task to build a solid foundation for the Church on an ecumenical level and to reflect to the spiritual Sun and the physical sun during the remainder of our lifetimes. When we leave the earth, we will carry on the work in spirit. But our task is to create the Order here so it will endure.’”

The Twenty-fourth Saying (Part 7)

Please pay special attention to this portion of the Saying, as I find it very profound and answers many questions.

“Then the second Mariner to speak said, ‘I understand the need for educating the members of the many religions of the world and the clergy and laity of the Christian religion. However, the only way we can instruct or educate people is if they desire to be instructed or educated. How do we do this? It seems to me that the very people we will have to educate or instruct will be critical or will label us heretical. What can be done to make them want to come to us?’

“The Man answered saying, ‘While we are being trained to become Disciples of God and to become Teachers of the Image and the Word in the Church fulfilled in an ecumenical manner for the unification of all churches and all religions into one, we must acknowledge our human limitations.

“‘We have developed our spiritual Vision to look upon the Sun of Spirit. We have also strengthened our faculty of vision to look upon the sun of the world – the sun of the solar system by which all physical life is sustained – the same that lights and heats the earth. But the True Light that lights the world is God’s Sun of Righteousness – the Sun of Creation. And because we are laboring within the Righteous Church and exemplifying the Righteous Life, we have an effect on the physical sun.

“‘While we are involved in the great struggle between the Powers of Light and the Powers of Darkness, which is a cosmic and dimensional event, we must constantly keep in mind that the Righteous Way that we live has an influence upon the material sun. Indeed, it has been said that we are to use the sun as a Sword of Light and Justice to do battle with unrighteousness wherever it is found on Earth. We thus make the sun more brilliant, and we invoke God to make the Sun shine seven times brighter than before to burn up the wicked. We do not understand the nature of this brilliance, but we do know that Evil will be blotted out and that the Good will be able to live on Earth as a result.

“‘With the strengthening of the sun’s rays, whether by heat or by some kind of illuminated intelligence – after all, this has been prophesied and must take place since it was a godly thought recorded by Holy Ones – the world will cry out for guidance, leadership and instruction because without these it will not be able to survive. If we take air away from a person or plunge that person under water for a long period of time, that person will become desperate. Likewise, without Light people are going to become desperate.

“‘The problem is that the nations of the world that claim God’s creatures for their own may try to destroy this Church as they did the Church of the First Dispensation. It remains with the Teachers of this School to perpetuate the Teachings and ensure its survival. We are more than just Teachers living The Way. We are spiritual warriors who are fighting with Light against Darkness. This Light comes from our souls, from our minds, and from our spirits. This Light has to be handled wisely. Since it is our destiny to assist God in bringing about the salvation of the world, we can assume that the cosmic battle will bring adherents to our Teaching.’”
