“Spirit of Art for a Harmonious World”

 

 

“The voice of our age seems by no means favorable to art, at all events to that kind of art to which my inquiry is directed. The course of events has given a direction to the genius of the time that threatens to remove it continually further from the ideal of art. For art has to leave reality, it has to raise itself boldly above necessity and neediness; for art is the daughter of freedom, and it requires its prescriptions and rules to be furnished by the necessity of spirits and not by that of matter. But in our day it is necessity, neediness, that prevails, and lends a degraded humanity under its iron yoke. Utility is the great idol of the time, to which all powers do homage and all subjects are subservient. In this great balance on utility, the spiritual service of art has no weight, and, deprived of all encouragement, it vanishes from the noisy Vanity Fair of our time. The very spirit of philosophical inquiry itself robs the imagination of one promise after another, and the frontiers of art are narrowed in proportion as the limits of science are enlarged. The eyes of the philosopher as well as of the man of the world are anxiously turned to the theater of political events, where it is presumed the great destiny of man is to be played out. … I hope that I shall succeed in convincing you that this matter of art is less foreign to the needs than to the tastes of our age; nay, that, to arrive at a solution even in the political problem, the road of aesthetics must be pursued, because it is through beauty” ~Frederich Schiller

Spirit of Art

Schiller is correct in saying that real art is as much a spiritual thing as it is a physical one. Art that simply reflects the status quo of a materialistic society is not really art at all but simply a form of newspaper. Art needs to be more than a mirror reflecting what is around it. While such art can be useful in making us see things about ourselves that we don’t want to face, it has to be spiritual art, at least a little, when it does that.

Spirit of Art in Architecture

When the ancients designed buildings they often followed spiritual principles. They were built to be in harmony with man and nature. They were designed to stimulate spiritual thoughts and ideals. Awakening the spirit and soul was too much to ask of them, but they were one of many tools that aided that process. The great buildings of ancient Greece and classic Egypt are among the best examples of spiritual art in architecture. Today, however, architects are more concerned with showing off how they can stretch the limits of design and function with modern technology. There is nothing wrong with the technology, but it would be better utilized to make buildings that are harmonious and spiritually stimulating.

February 5, 2020
Second Advent Sunrise Vigil – Day 7

Today we observe the seventh day of the eight-day sunrise vigil commemorating the birth of the Sun of Righteousness and related events 58 years ago. I hope you have had an opportunity to re-read from the book, Jamil: Child of Light. As February 2nd marks the beginning of The Community’s year according to the Sacred Calendar, tomorrow, February 6th, signifies the manifestation of The Comforter, another very auspicious day filled with much importance and many blessings.

Now that we have completed our review of the Tenth Saying of The Secret Sayings of Jamil, let us now proceed to the Eleventh.

The Eleventh Saying (Part 1 of 4)

“…And these are the words of the Eleventh Saying:

“‘God the Father has caused the Sun of Justice, awaited and hoped for by the ancients, to appear in the heavens to illuminate the actions of all people and of all nations of the Earth. By the Light of this new Sun and the Law of God’s Word therein, governments and nations shall be judged. And the adepts of The Community shall serve as God’s agents upon the Earth to observe the doings of men and nations. And if there be injustices, God’s agents shall intercede for the people against wrongdoers and mete out punishment, for God would not that powerful leaders abuse their positions to harm God’s children. And the justice of God’s rule shall be swift and certain. And none who do wickedness shall escape the righteous punishment of God.

“‘The agents of the Father shall be a blessed body of noble and enlightened minds calling upon the power of the Sun to burn away the injustices of the world. It shall not be by words or actions of men that God shall serve out justice, but by His redeeming fire. And God’s agents in the new Community shall be, of all things, unified and shall call upon God the Father in times of injustice. And God shall hear them, and the Sun shall be as a righteous sword in their hands to work a great good upon the Earth. Never before has Man been possessed of such power to do goodness in the world. And let all men and all nations know that punishment for wrongdoing will come from God, through His Messianic Sun of Righteousness, which has appeared to judge the world in these last and final days of a dying world, making way for the new.’”

I leave you to contemplate these words before reviewing the actual commentary, which we will examine in three parts.

Again, if I may be of any personal service to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Very truly yours in Light+,

Gene

Midnight Passing of The Child, Jamil (1962)

The Tenth Saying (Part 17 of our series)

“When he had said this, they went up on deck to view the sunset. And when they returned, The Man spoke again: ‘Unless a person generates a Light body and generates Consciousness, one cannot experience immortality of person. Once a person accepts this fact and that life in Spirit is governed by spiritual Law and Order, that person is able to participate in the life of The Community. For spiritual Life must begin here in the physical world. Certain conditions have to be established before spiritual Life can begin. This entails a system of spiritual development within an order of an authentic, inspired and revealed religion.

“‘Any person is only as great as the philosophy that motivates that person. If it be a philosophy of love, kindness, understanding, tolerance and universality, then one is nourished by a beneficial energy. A person motivated by hate, intolerance, selfishness, actually lives off oneself. This kind of energy is self-destructive and destroys the mind and body. Persons who enter the order of The Community and look at the Sun properly receive a celestial energy filled with the Intelligence of God. Through the light of the Sun they are able to project their Consciousness into the Mind of God and into the Worlds of Light. By these means, they become more celestial than terrestrial, enjoy a fuller, richer and longer life, and are far more productive than earthly people.

“‘People read the Bible, they read scripture, go to lectures, hear marvelous words on the Spirit, they hear theories, commentaries, but seldom, if ever, do they hear the truth as given by an institution directly under the inspiration of God. We of this Community have the privilege of aiding God so that a new world order can be established to make the world a better place for present and future generations. Our System has been practiced by the great holy men and women of times past. Today, mankind can actually put The System into practice and become a more advanced, more evolved race.

“‘Every person has been created in the Image of God. Once the light of the Sun is introduced into the body, God’s Word takes on Form within that person. When people love God, they live off of a different kind of energy; it is self-sustaining, and self-generating. If a person rejects this System, and accepts a system which is not inspired or divine, then that person does not develop. I believe you will find as you voyage about the world and come in contact with members of various religions that all people seek the truth. Therefore, we have the responsibility of teaching the religious of the world the new Way revealed by God.

“‘To teach men and women to cease from jealousy, envy, greed, selfishness, and self-destruction requires a system that can replace those petty feelings with higher feelings. Those higher feelings can only be expressed in a community where people mingle with their own peers. You cannot be spiritual and illuminated living in the world with people who are materialistic, who do not understand God, who do not participate in the Godhead, who do not take the Light of the Sun of Righteousness into their Spirits, and who do not have the Word of God incarnate within their beings. You will be, of all people, most lonely. When one joins the Order, one becomes complete and useful. If each can find the Christ-force in life, and live within it, then Christ triumphs within us. And I would like to stress again, contrary to what some anthropologists and medical people teach, that Man has not ascended from the animal kingdom. Man has descended from the Godhead. And there is a method by which everyone can return to the Godhead and participate in their divinity.

“‘Think in terms of the difference among people – those of Spirit and those of Earth – they are distinct. Each is obligated to contribute to the establishment of The Community because it is important that spiritually-minded souls devote themselves to the restructuring of the world. Previously I have spoken about a condition or state of Man. A man and a woman unite, and by so doing a new person is born into the world. Similarly, when a person unites their Spirit with the Word of God present in the Sun of Righteousness, spiritual birth takes place and the person is reborn in Christ. And then when this happens, the panacea which has been striven for by all psychologists, psychiatrists, sociologists and religionists, is afforded man and woman. With discipline, the antipodes which pull at us creating moods of despair, anger, sadness, negativity, sorrow, loneliness, anxiety, guilt, insomnia, fear, pride, worry, frustration, inadequacy, and insecurity pass away as that person takes on a new identity. A person can, within The Community, become Christ-like. It requires time and dedication, but that is the objective of this Community – to enlighten every member so that each can imitate Christ on Earth. Such persons will become brothers and sisters of a single family dedicated to the teaching of the brotherhood of Man living under God, not for the destruction of what God has given us, but for the construction of a new order on Earth.

“‘Each enlightened Soul assumes the responsibility of the unity of the Order which I so strongly stress at all times over and over again. For Man is by earthly nature rebellious and at odds with his own kind. Each is obligated to preserve the world for future generations. We all know that if mankind continues to abuse natural law, exploiting the natural environment, the cessation of all living things will come to pass. For mankind to knowingly deny his own immortality by turning from God is to commit, willingly, a crime which must be punished.’”

Congratulations. You made it through the Tenth Saying! Next week we will begin with the Eleventh. Please join us in the Sun through February 6th as we participate in the Second Advent Sunrise Vigil. If you’d like to re-read the events that transpired in 1962, I encourage you to do so. I recommend reading from Jamil: Child of Light. I always find the words very inspiring.

Again, if I may be of any personal service to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Very truly yours in Light+,

Gene




January 25, 2020: Chapel Readings

 

 

Each week of the liturgical year, a reading from Second Advent Scripture is delivered as part of the Saturday Communion of Fellowship Service held in the Chapel of the Holy Child. This reading follows the Sacred Calendar of the Church; that is, Prophecies and Revelations that have been received by The Church on sacred dates are recalled in a liturgical context during the appropriate season each year. This reading is delivered just before the final blessings. Each service also includes a reading from the ancient scriptures, prayers, or wisdom sayings of various world religions past and present and is usually thematically related to the Second Advent Reading. This reading is delivered by the Reader right after the announcements that begin the service and is thus the first reading of the service. An audio recording of the reading from Second Advent Scripture delivered on the date above is provided here below together with a transcript of the first reading of the service that day.

SECOND ADVENT PROPHECY AND REVELATION

A Reading from Prophecy of the New Covenant, Chapter 91: “Testament of the New Covenant” (pp. 960-963).

 

ANCIENT SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM SAYINGS

A Reading from the Prophet Isaiah 61:

The nations shall see your righteousness,

And all rulers your glory.
You shall be called by a new name,

Which the mouth of the Lord will name.
You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord

A royal diadem In the hand of your God.
You shall no longer be termed Forsaken,
Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate;
For the Lord delights in you,

I will speak of the lovingkindness of the Lord
And the praises of the Lord,
According to all that the Lord has bestowed on us,
And the great goodness toward his people,
Which He has bestowed on them according to His mercies,
According to His manifold lovingkindness.
For He said, “Surely they are My people,
Children who will not lie.”
So He became their Savior.
And the Angel of His Presence saved them;
In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;
And He bore them and carried them
All the days.

“Wal Thornhill: Velikovsky’s Astrophysics | EU2017”

 

 

In 1950 Immanuel Velikovsky threw down a gauntlet to astronomers in his sensational best-selling book, Worlds in Collision, where he proposed, on the basis of documentary evidence, that gravitation is an electromagnetic phenomenon. Leading American astronomers were enraged and behaved like medieval priests whose sanctified gravitational cosmology was being violated. They pressured Macmillan, the textbook publisher, to burn the best-selling book. The fact neither Newton nor Einstein explained gravity seemed to go unnoticed.

In 1979, Velikovsky gave Wal a monograph titled Cosmos Without Gravitation, which he had published in 1946. He noted that in the charged oil drop experiment, “one and the same action is ascribed to two fundamentally different principles,” where the drop is balanced between the gravitational force and the electrical attraction of a charged plate above. This was a return to natural philosophy, which provided the scientific advances that led to the modern age and is essential for progress once more. Velikovsky’s genius was to provide the keys to the solar system’s recent catastrophic history and the astrophysics needed to understand it.

“Children of God Awakened by the Sun”

 

 

“It is troublesome thing to mortify the evil Will of Self; none are willing to do it. We would all gladly be the Children of God, if we might be so with the rough garment of fallen nature about us. But this cannot be. This world passeth away, and the outward life must die; what good can the adoption of the mortal body of flesh and blood only do me?

“If we would inherit the Fillation, we must also put on the New Man which alone can inherit it, as being like the Deity. God will have no sinners in Heaven, but only such as have been born anew and become Children, and to have put on Heaven.

“Therefore it is not so easy a matter to become a Child of God, as men imagine. Indeed, it is not a troublesome thing to him that hath put on the Fillation, whose light shineth; for it is joy to such a one. …

“A man must wrestle till the dark center that is shut up tight breaketh open, and the Spark lying hid therein kindles and from thence the noble Lily-branch sprouts, as from the divine grain of mustard-seed as Christ saith. A man must pray earnestly with great humility, and for a while, become a fool of his own Reason, and see himself void of understanding therein, until Christ be formed in the new incarnation.” ~Jacob Boehme

Will of Self

When referring to the Will of Self, Boehme does not mean the ego or will in a general sense, but very specifically the type of will common in a narcissist where the person wants the entire universe to conform to his ideas rather than the other way around. The human will is not necessarily arrogant, but it is in many. If properly tamed and controlled by the higher Self, it is a useful tool while we are in the realm of matter. Without a will, we accomplish nothing, we have no desire to accomplish.

Children of God

When Boehme wrote this several hundred years ago, he was probably correct in saying that all wanted to be the Children of God. Those days are over. Today, a large part of the population question the very existence of God. Others believe in God, but think they have no responsibility to behave in any particular way, or to accomplish certain deeds to be welcomed by God into heaven.

But those of us who take God seriously and want to be part of His Kingdom, the quest to become true Children of God remains strong. We know that being children of God is not about where you were born, what church you go to, or how many crystals you own. The children of God are those who take seriously the teachings of the spiritual masters who started most major religions and the ancient mystery schools. The don’t worship Jesus, they follow His teachings. They don’t spend an hour a week in church and the rest of the week being a devoted materialist. They don’t just sit on the sofa dreaming about going to heaven so they can manifest it, they go out and follow the path all the ancients knew to get there.
