The Tenth Saying (Part 4 of our series)
“There was a short silence as each contemplated The Man’s words. Then the Third Mariner spoke, asking: ‘You said that when one practices the techniques for a period of time one becomes more sensitive to the light and the fire of the Sun. Is it natural, then, for those who have been in The Community for a period of time to become less able to consume the Sun by means of the techniques, or are they more able to apply the Sun techniques for longer periods of time?’
“And The Man answered saying, ‘If you are living in the country removed from the effects of city life, as you have undoubtedly noticed on this ship when at sea, the Sun becomes less brilliant. You are able to absorb greater amounts of sunlight. If you look at the Sun in the confines of the cities, and mingle with people, you will find that you will be able to take less sunlight. You will become so sensitive that you will be in conflict with those people. Therefore, Sun techniques are better applied when you are isolated from the cities of commerce in which the economic way is dominant in the lives of the people. When you are with Companions of Light, where the atmosphere is one of Light, and away from the negative effects of the cities, you will find you can take a larger amount of Light. You are in harmony with nature, as you have found during our voyages. You are able to communicate with living things of the sea and of the air. This will increase as we continue the voyage. On our first voyage years ago, tens of thousands of fish came to the ship, surrounding it for hundreds of meters on all sides. It is easier to communicate with God when you are at sea, removed from civilized life and crowded cities.
“‘Man’s body is limited, as is his brain, nervous system, and circulatory system. Man is not able or free to do anything he wants to do or thinks he can do. His computers and advanced technology have moved him into a new world of speed. The ancient religions were developed by people who moved at a slower pace. Man no longer uses horses or walks as principal means of transportation. His machines move him about the world at incredible speeds. He has even managed to penetrate outer space by means of machines and computers. Indeed, his machines are able to accomplish things which his mind and body are not capable of. Therefore, if Man is to have a clear understanding of God, his philosophy of life and his religions must-needs project him into other worlds and other dimensions. This will place new demands upon the brain and the human organism which it is not designed to handle. As a race, Man is going to be forced to evolve on the physical level. He will be forced, if he is to survive, to develop higher brain power, a more refined nervous system and a more sophisticated human body. The techniques we are applying are forcing our bodies and brains to grow. The growth begins with highly evolved receptors in the retinas so the brain and the nervous system can handle larger amounts of direct sunlight. Thus, the alteration of the species begins in the eyes which, working with solar energy, expand our human vision. I am sure you have all noticed, your vision changes to a certain degree. You see more, your increased peripheral vision permits you to see shades of color around people.
“‘The beginning of Man’s advancement must take place with the baptism of fire, and the absorption of solar energy into the system which can nourish and sustain not only the body, but a higher kind of body. It is inevitable that our bodies are going to become more transparent, and become more light than physical. This is our heritage as men and women. And the Teachings of Light, come through the message of Jamil and the appearance of the Messianic Sun, are preordained, fulfilling religion come at the last and final days of the old world which is going to be passing through a baptism of fire of its own. The world is to be burned away. Something new will emerge – it will be more akin to light than to matter. By these means man will inherit spiritual life.’”
This is an interesting part of the Tenth Saying, as it deals with the evolution of Man as a species and his world. On the way to this new state of being are many steps and stages. Today we are aiming to sustain our Community and maintain and project our image in the world. Part of that work is the restoration of the Cathedral Church of the Americas and the Monument to Human Spiritual Rights at our Consecrated Sanctuary. This is a grand project, and one which cannot be ignored. By now you have received my letter dated October 12th, which concerns this project and your part in it. A member of the Chancellery staff will be reaching out to you in the coming days to discuss details of your participation. As always, I thank you for your support.
Once again, if I may be of any personal service to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.
