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 by the Officiant of the Communion Service (that is, Bishop Gene Savoy, or occasionally in his stead, Bishop Sean Savoy) 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 the Prophecy on the Golden Age of Light and the Nation of Nations, Chapter 84: “On the Golden Age of Light and the Nation of Nations” (pp. 726-733).

ANCIENT SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM SAYINGS

A Reading from the Gospel According to Matthew:

 And seeing the multitudes, Jesus went up onto a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.　Blessed　are　they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you, when people shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be very glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so did they persecute the prophets before you.

You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what shall it be salted? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trodden under foot.

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hidden. Neither does someone light a candle and put it under a basket, but on a candlestick, that it may give light to all that are in the house. Let your light so shine that people may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven.

“ 2012 US National Medal of Science award winner Yakir Aharonov, who is regarded as one of the world’s leading quantum theorists published a paper in Nature Physics showing that the present is constrained by the past and the future. This means that what happens in the present can depend on what happened in the future, which makes no sense, as quantum physics rarely does. It also means that what happened in the past can effect the present. Seems strange, doesn’t it? It’s definitely something hard to wrap your head around.

“We choose to examine a phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics. In reality, it contains the only mystery.”
Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate of the twentieth century (Radin, Dean. Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences In A Quantum Reality. New York, Paraview Pocket Books, 2006)

This isn’t the first time quantum physicists have studied the structure of time.”

“So here is your vocation set out: a vocation so various in its opportunities, that you can hardly fail to find something to do. It is your business to actualize within the world of time and space—perhaps by great endeavors in the field of heroic action, perhaps only by small ones, … that holy creative energy, which this world manifests as a whole but indifferently. You shall work for mercy, order, beauty, significance: shall mend where you find things broken, make where you find the need.” ~Evelyn Underhill

Spiritual Vocation

“Ms. Underhill says it is our job as spiritual people to actualize “holy creative energy”, or spiritual energy in the world. While that is not the only job of the spiritual adept, it certainly is an important part of it. There are many ways to do this. You can talk to people in a loving positive way. And while you’re talking to them, see positive spiritual energy flowing from you to them (we all exchange some energy with others when we meet, but it works best when done with intent). We can share our knowledge online, in books, and in other media.

“We don’t have to limit that sharing of energy to other humans. We can share with animals, plants, and even the so-called non-living things. Sit on a bench in the park and send spiritual energy to the squirrels, dogs, and other animals. Some may sense it and approach you in acknowledgment. Send it to the grass, the trees, even the bench you are sitting on. When you do, encourage these other beings to send energy back to you. It is one of the best ways to learn to understand other beings, even if only on a subconscious level.”

SECOND ADVENT PROPHECY AND REVELATION

A Reading from the Prophecy on the Golden Age of Light and the Nation of Nations, Chapter 84: “On the Golden Age of Light and the Nation of Nations” (pp. 720-726).

ANCIENT SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM SAYINGS

A Reading from the Teachings of Confucius:

“The superior man accords himself with the Middle Way. Though he may be unknown, unregarded by the world, he feels no regret. It is only the sage who is able to do this. The way that the superior man pursues reaches wide and far, and yet is secret. Common men and women, however ignorant, may meddle with the knowledge of it; yet in its utmost reaches, there is that which even the sage does not know. Common men and women, however much below the ordinary standard of character, can put it into practice; yet in its utmost reaches, there is that which even the sage is not able to put into practice. The way of the superior man may be found, in its simple elements, in the society of common men and women; but in its utmost reaches, it shines brightly through Heaven and earth.”

The Master said, “The path is not far from man. When men try to pursue a course that is far from the common indications of consciousness, this course cannot be considered The Path. Therefore, the superior man governs men according to their nature, with what is proper to them, and as soon as they change what is wrong, he stops.

“When one cultivates to the utmost the principles of his nature, and exercises them on the principle of reciprocity, he is not far from the path. What you do not like when done to yourself, do not do to others.”

Rev. Michael McIntyre

“The eyes of the Righteous shall see God’s Image and hear His Word. He shall no more be hidden from them and his Light shall not be revoked by the Darkness. He shall dwell with men on earth in the enlightened Words of Light ordained to be fulfilled by His Image as a perpetual lamp lit in the Sun of His Righteousness—as the flaming oil of Nephtai over the heavenly altar.
“He shall prepare a banquet in Heaven of the Bread of Life and the Waters of Truth to nurture all Souls that hunger for Life. He shall breathe eternal Life into the nostrils of Spirits who sleep and make them to stand upright, and walk in the way of God.” ~Gene Savoy

God’s Image

“It is an important distinction. Mr. Savoy doesn’t say the Righteous will see God, he says they will see God’s Image. We find in other writings by this spiritual teacher that the Spiritual Light that comes to us through God’s agent, the Spiritual Sun or Sun of Righteousness, is the Image of God.”

SECOND ADVENT PROPHECY AND REVELATION

A Reading from the Prophecy on the Golden Age of Light and the Nation of Nations, Chapter 84: “On the Golden Age of Light and the Nation of Nations” (pp. 711-720).

ANCIENT SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM SAYINGS

A Reading from the First Letter of Peter:

Blessed be the God and Father, who according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God unto the salvation ready to be revealed in these last times. Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you when Christ is revealed. As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former ignorance: But as he who has called you is holy, so be holy yourselves in your behavior, because it is written, “Be ye holy; for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges everyone according to his works, pass the time of your sojourning here in reverence: For you know that you were not redeemed with something corruptible, such as silver and gold, from your vain manner of life that you received as tradition from your fathers; but with Christ. Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you. Seeing that you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit, have unfeigned love of the brethren; love one another with a pure heart fervently, since you are born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible seed; that is, by the Word of God, which lives and abides forever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the Word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the Word you have received.

“I will prefix this article with a paragraph quoted from Marcus Julian Felicetti:

‘Atapa Snana is the yogic phrase for the healing science of Sun bathing. We live in a modern world that is bombarded with paranoid messages about how dangerous the Sun is. We should remember that the ancient yogis and many other cultures knew how to use the Sun to heal all kinds of illnesses, and bring about radiant health. In the West we also have a history of using Sunlight therapy that dates back to the ancient Greeks. It was called heliosis. Today, the name for Sunlight therapy is heliotherapy. We evolved as a human race … under the warmth and love of the Sun.’

“It is not just the frequencies and rhythms of the Sun that affect us biologically. The radiations that it emits include not only the solar winds, but the Sunlight we take for granted. Solar Ultra-Violet rays provide us with the best natural source of vitamin D, which is absorbed through our skin by a process called dermal synthesis, and then activated in a second step known as hydroxylation in the liver and kidneys. This enhances our absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate, and zinc. It is essential for our bone health and it appears that calcium does not benefit us much without vitamin D. When I was recovering from multiple bone fractures in the Royal Brisbane Hospital in 1995, the nurses would often wheel us orthopaedic patients out onto what they called their ‘Sun verandah’ when conditions were bright, to increase our intake of Sunlight.

Even the simple act of sunbathing causes the secretion of the ‘feel good’ hormones serotonin, beta-endorphins, and dopamine although, as we have noted earlier, this should only be done for short periods and with due regard to the risks of skin damage.

“UV rays are considered by many to be the bogeymen of the light spectrum, mainly due to their association with cancerous cell mutations, when over-exposure to the Sun occurs. People also screen them out by wearing UV-rated sunglasses. Personally, I never wear sunglasses. They block light from getting into the eyes, which affects the ability of the optical nerve that runs to the hypothalamus to adjust the skin’s resistance to the Sun. That resistance is based on how much light is taken in by your eyes. It may sound anomalous, but UV radiation is used to treat some skin conditions, such as acne. It is also used to sterilise medical equipment because it can kill harmful bacteria.”

This article was first published in New Dawn Magazine, Special Issue Vol.10 No.5 (October 2016), the theme of which was “How To Escape the Sickness Industry.”

“The mystics are artists; and the stuff in which they work is most often human life. They want to heal the disharmony between the actual and the real: and since, in the white-hot radiance of that faith, hope, and charity which burns in them, they discern such a reconciliation to be possible, they are able to work for it with a singleness of purpose and an invincible optimism denied to other men. This was the instinct which drove St. Francis of Assisi to the practical experience of that poverty which he recognized as the highest wisdom; … St. Teresa to the formation of an ideal religious family; … Florence Nightingale to battle with officials, vermin, dirt, and disease in the soldiers hospitals. …” ~Evelyn Underhill

Mystics as Artists

Mystics are artists in the sense of being creators and agents of change. If they don’t make the changes them selves, they are either helping others to do so, or working with God and the angels to make it happen. They are not artists of chaos. They are not artists who seek to reveal the dark and slimy underbelly of life on the material plane. Instead they are
seekers of beauty, much like painter Georgia O’Keeffe saw beauty in the desert where she lived. 

Georgia OKeeffe, Summer Days (1936)
