 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.

ANCIENT SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM SAYINGS

A Reading from the Gospel of John:

Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
I have revealed to you those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
For I gave theme the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.
I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one.
While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.
I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
As your sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.

For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,
that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be one in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one:
I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

This is your forum to share higher-level experiences in Cosolargy through the images of your dreams and visions. All postings are anonymous. Send in verbal descriptions and, if you have them, drawings or paintings.

The primary value in these postings is simply to allow others to see that people do have relevant or meaningful dreams and visions. Another value is to see if others find that the dreams and visions we post are similar or identical to their own. This is why we ask for your comments.

Dreams are communications from the unconscious mind and sometimes the higher self. Some are simply compensation for attention directed elsewhere during the day; some are indications of bodily processes, and some help us work through conflicts. Occasionally, they communicate information from higher realms and thus have more than individual value.

As Cosolargists, we are learning to navigate higher realms. Dreams are part of these higher realms. The Worlds of Light, the realm of spirit, sometimes breaks through to the psyche and gives us information. What breaks through deserves our attention and analysis. In this section of the Community Communique, we offer Community members a forum for sharing their dreams and visions for the edification of the Community and themselves.

Dream No. 9 : Green Lizard Dream

Sometime in the winter of 2013-2014 I had the following dream.

I was in a normal looking room in a large office or hotel type building.  Looking up at the ventilator grate I saw that there was a brightly colored green lizard stuck halfway in it.  Its head and forepaws were outside the grate.  Immediately after this I found myself in a different room in the same building, down the hall and around a corner.  (This other room resembled a room in the Atlantis casino in Reno where the AEF had held a dinner some years before.)  Looking up at the ventilator grate in this room, I saw another lizard stuck in it.  This lizard was also the same bright green color, only its hind parts were showing.  In the direct way in which ideas come to one in a dream I realized, with a kind of certainty, that this was the same lizard I saw stuck in the other grate!  This violation of common sense caused me to wake up immediately.

The unusual nature of this dream and the vivid color of the lizard caused me to contemplate this for a while.  I thought of a couple of other famous unusual dreams: the one where a snake was eating its own tail, and gave chemist Friedrich Kekule his idea for the structure of benzene, or the one that gave Erwin Schrodinger the idea of his wave equation.  I immediately thought of the quantum mechanical phenomenon of entanglement.  Maybe entanglement is not two particles that are entangled.  Maybe it is really the same particle that exists in a higher dimensional space, and which intersects physical space in two places.  If mass can deform physical space, perhaps it can be deformed in other ways which can allow one ultra-dimensional particle to appear to be two individual particles in physical space.

Not having the physics background or mathematical tools to investigate this possibility, I just kept this idea in the back of my head as a kind of curiosity.  My jaw almost dropped however when reading an article in Science News recently (“The Mysterious Boundary,” May 31, 2014).  This article outlines some of the ideas that theoreticians are exploring in an attempt to understand black holes, specifically their event horizons.  One of the ideas (proposed by Susskind and Maldacena) echoes the message of the green lizard dream almost exactly.  From the article: “[This proposal turns] entanglement into a shortcut through spacetime rather than a mysterious long-distance link. In essence, the particles inside and outside the event horizon become one and the same.”  Again, my jaw almost dropped!

July 2014

“We are obliged in the end to trust the universe and live by faith. Therefore the awakened soul must often suffer perplexity, share to the utmost the stress and anguish of the physical order, and, chained as it is to a consciousness accustomed to respond to that order, must still be content with flashes of understanding and willing to bear long periods of destitution when the light is veiled. …
“It is not from real men and woman of the Spirit that we hear soft things about the comfort of faith. For the true life of faith gives everything worth having and takes everything worth offering: … It entails a willed tension and choice, a noble power of refusal, which are not entirely being ‘in tune with the infinite.’ …The distinctive mark therefore is not happiness but vocation: work demanded and power given, but given only on condition that we spend it and ourselves on others without stint.” ~Evelyn Underhill

Many people have the idea that a spiritual life is a life free of stress and worries, free of difficulties, free of sadness, hunger, disease, etc. Nothing could be further from the truth.

It is true that, generally speaking, highly developed spiritual people will seem very joyful most of the time, but that is only because they have learned to accept the difficulties material life throws at them as a learning experience and as something they simply have to bear if they are to stay on this plain and aid others in their quest for spiritual growth. So don’t assume when you see the smiling face of a spiritual teacher or guru that she never has troubles, never gets ill, never grieves over the loss of a loved one.

So why try so hard to awaken and grow spiritually if it doesn’t get rid of the problems of the material world for you? For one, it makes you better able to understand those difficulties, to realize that they are not God punishing you, but just the karma you bring upon yourself, and sometimes just the randomness of the material plain, and that these difficulties come from Satan, not God. He also realizes that these problems are temporary and will not follow him into the spiritual realms when his physical body dies. And that brings us to the primary reason for studying and practicing spiritual growth techniques while we are living on the material level: to prepare us for functioning on the next level, the level of spirit.

The quoted text ends by telling us that spiritual growth gives us a kind of power, but power that must be used only to help others. This is very true. While I haven’t been seeing those ads for a few years now, there was a time when we were seeing ads on TV, in magazines and online, offering to tell us techniques that would allow us to take over the control of others and get them to do our bidding. Those tricks may work for awhile, but using this power in this satanic manner will give you a great karmic burden to pay, and eventually they will stop working for you. In other words; evil dies, good lives on.

ANCIENT SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM SAYINGS

A Reading from the Rig Veda —A Hymn to Surya, the Sun:

His bright rays bear him up aloft, the God who knoweth all that lives,
Surya, that all may look upon him.
The constellations pass away, like thieves, together with their beams,
Before the all-beholding Sun.
His herald rays are seen afar, refulgent over the world of men,
Like flames of fire that burn and blaze.
Swift and all-beautiful art thou, O Surya, maker of light,
Illumining all the radiant realm.
Thou goest to the hosts of Gods, thou comest hither to mankind.
Hither all light to be beheld with that same eye of thine wherewith thou lookest
Upon the face of men.
Traversing sky and wide mid-air, thou measureth out with they beams our days; the Sun seeing all things that have birth.
Seven Steeds harnessed to thy car bear thee, O farseeing One,
God, Surya, with the radiant hair.
Surya hath yoked the pure bright Seven, the daughters of the car, with these,
His own dear team, he goeth forth.
Looking upon the loftier light above the darkness we have come to Surya,
God among the Gods, the light that is most excellent.
Rising this day, O rich in friends, ascending to the loftier heaven,
Surya remove my heart’s disease, take from me my sickly hue.

Pannuches Meal Rite
The 87th Pannuches Meal Rite was held Saturday, June 28, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. in the Chapel of the Holy Child. This is a private ceremony for members of the Order. Jubilee Sunrise Divine Service was held in Sanctuary the following morning. The Jubilee Sunday is a day of fasting. The elderly are exempt from fasting on that day if they choose.

Active Principle of Divine Law Observed
On the morning of Friday, August 1, 2014, in recognition of the thirty-third observance of the Manifestation of the New Light of God, which appeared over the sun on this date thirty-one years before to confirm the Active Principle of Divine Law, The Right Reverend Gene Savoy Jr. officiated a special sunrise Divine Service at the Church of New Pentecost with concelebrant Reverend Canon Robert Petrovich and assisted by canons Roger Weld and Ted Staver and the Reverend Mother Carol Ann Crabb.

God’s Confirmation of the Active Principles of Divine Law first occurred on August 1, 1982. That event is recorded in Second Advent Scripture in The Book of God’s Revelation with commentary relating the event to the revelation received by the Church on April 18th, Easter in the Second Advent Calendar, and the further revelations received on June 6th, the Day of Pentecost.

Among the Revelations received on June 6th, 1982, the Church received instruction on the New Act of God, God’s conception of the Newly Created Light, a New Light that renovates the whole of creation. The Church also received instruction on the Four Newly Created Intermediary Lights that manifest through this conception.

Scripture tells us that through the manifestation of these Four Intermediary Lights, God has fixed the Four Newly Created Tables of the Law to be taught to the Ordained in the Holy Institutions of Learning; and, so that the unwritten Code of the Law may be codified on earth for the emancipation of the human race, God has decreed Twelve newly created Active Principles of Divine Law of Hid New Covenant, which are subordinate to the Lights of God and to the Tables of the Law, yet are instruments of the Divine Plan for human redemption.

With the revelation given on June 6th, God decreed these Twelve Active Principles to be in force upon confirmation. And on the first day of August in 1982, “The New Light of God appeared over the face of the sun, confirming the Active Principles of Divine Law.” The event of confirmation that on this date is the purpose of the special commemoration each year.

The final paragraph of The Book of God’s Revelation describes that event:

And on the first day of August, it being the eighth Sunday following the giving of the Revelation at Pentecost on the sixth day of June, the New Light of God appeared over the face of the sun, confirming the Active Principle of Divine Law. And the whole congregation, gathered at sunrise, saw and felt the gift of the Spirit manifest out of the sun.

The Church has observed this date since 1982 in a variety of liturgical forms. At the Divine Service performed on August 1, 1987, a new composition titled “The New Light of Divine Law” was introduced to the liturgical music usually accompanying Divine Service. The piece commemorates the confirmation of the Active Principle of Divine Law.

The religious tradition and astronomical calendric attached to this date are significant. First Dispensation churches know August 1 as Lammas Day or the Day of the Loaf Mass. The date was celebrated by Christians in England, where the first bread of the harvest was taken to mass for blessing. The Christian feast has even earlier roots in the Celtic Lugnasaid, which hailed the beginning of the wheat harvest.

August 1 marks the beginning of the calendric period known as the “dog days.” The period is named for the Dog Star, Sirius. The span of time between late July and mid-August is an astronomical period when Sirius rises each morning with the sun. For the ancient Egyptians, August 1 was a calendric marking for the rising of the Nile and was celebrated by an important religious feast. This date also held significance for other ancient solar cultures.

The Sacred Calendar of the Second Advent Church also holds August 1 as a significant date. When counting from February 2, Second Advent New Year’s Day, the semiannual cycle, or 180-degree cycle of the earth around the sun, falls on August 1.

“The inward aim of the self is towards unification with a larger life; a mergence with Reality which it may describe under certain contradictory symbols, or may not be able to describe at all, but which it feels to be the fulfillment of existence. It has learned—though this knowledge may not have passed beyond the stage of feeling—that the universe is one simple texture, in which all things have their explanation and their place. … The goal of the process, which has been called entrance into the freedom of the Will of God, is the state described by the writer of the ‘German Theology’ when he said, ‘I would fain be to the Eternal Goodness what his own hand is to a man.’ For such a declaration not only means a wiled and skillful working for God, a practical siding with Perfection, becoming its living tool, but also close union with, and sharing of, the vital energy of the spiritual order: …” ~Evelyn Underhill

The first part of this quote basically tells us that when we let go and stop trying to be in control of everything, we will naturally flow toward the Light, move toward unification with God and the worlds of spirit. I’m not sure that is always true, but it is true that we must let go of our egotistical desires in order to open ourselves to the truth of God. As Zen teachers sometimes say, you can’t fill a cup that is already full.

She then goes on to tell us that as we become more enlightened, we reach a point where we become aware that the universe is one simple texture. That terminology sounds misleading to me. Obviously a porcupine has a different “texture” than a bowl of whipped cream. But that isn’t what Ms Underhill is talking about. She is talking about something that is behind the material being, something at the root of everything that is the same in all things. We call that something spirit. St. Francis recognized this when he referred to all other life forms as his brothers and sisters. In essence, we may be wearing very different masks, but the reality behind the mask is very much the same in all of us.

The third—and probably most important—part of the quote gets into the idea of serving God. This is always a difficult subject because most of us have been taught since a very young age that we should not allow others to control us, so when we tell people who seek spiritual enlightenment that they must give themselves over to the will of God, they are often not happy with that idea. For that reason, I love the term ‘the freedom of the Will of God’ that Ms Underhill uses. Because the truth that the advance spiritual students learn is that the people in the material world who consider themselves free are anything but. They are enslaved by a social order, enslaved by an economic system that requires them to work at jobs they often don’t want and doing things they often don’t want to do because they have to make a living and because they have been taught that it is there divine duty to consume, consume, consume, and then consume. So the paradox of serving God is that those people who truly serve Him are the freest people in the world because God is not about force, but about teaching you what is for your own benefit and letting you decide if you want to do it.
