March 14, 2020

Since my last communication to you a week ago, much has changed in the world. This is a good time for Reflection and Inflection and striving to be more Christ-like as The Child, Jamil, exemplified. These words from the Twelfth Saying describe his demeanor in some detail.

The Twelfth Saying (Part 4 of 4)

“And then the Third Mariner said: ‘You have stated in the First Sayings that Jamil came to show us the Life of Righteousness, and if we would but imitate The Child in The Path or the Way of The Child, we would begin to understand the spiritual words which he spoke. And possibly it is a misunderstanding on the part of myself, and other members of the Community, when we talk of the Path of The Child or the Way of The Child, because we are so often faced in this world, especially in light of this last Saying, with the difficulty of extricating ourselves from the world. And that seems to involve a decision that requires a great deal of maturity, contemplation and self-analysis. To assume the innocence of a child while trusting in a community that is sophisticated and intellectual is one that appears conflicting. And again, possibly that is a misinterpretation of the phrase ‘the Way or the Path of The Child.’ How can people who are forced to make a spiritual decision to leave the world and enter Community life be certain that they are reaching the right conclusions? Does one assume the innocence of a child or one of maturity? What is the balancing factor that we must use to determine what is proper to do with our lives?’

“And The Man answered the mariner saying: ‘We can analyze the question from two positions. First, was Jamil just a child? The answer is ‘no’ – he was more than a child. Second, was the Child a divine being of Light, the Word of God incarnate within the image of a child – a great illuminated being of Light, Christ come in the form of a child? I would say the second is the case.

“‘The Child symbolizes innocence, goodness, trust, love, and kindness, of great degree. But The Child also represented severity, righteousness and an unbelievable goodness. It might be said that if it had not been for his parents and the house that we provided for him, he could not have endured in the world because he was a little child. That is a logical assumption. On the other hand, if he would have been left entirely alone in the world he could have lived very well – in the fields with the animals. I remember when he was only a few months old he went to the beach for the first time. He was but a baby, but he could lie in the Sun all day without being burned. Turtles came out of the sea to his feet, birds from the air came to him, he communed most innocently but openly with all living things. He ate very little food. He lived off the Light of God from the Sun and from some inner power which we do not understand. In that respect he is a great example to us – for he demonstrated to us how to be Christ-like.

“‘His judgement of people was severe. He did not allow people to touch him who were angry, people who were exploiting other people, the rich people who were mistreating the Indians of Peru on the coasts and in the Andes. The people who were living at the expense of others, he would not allow them to touch him.

“‘If anyone were to abuse a person in his presence, he was very quick to protect that person. He was righteous, and just. He did judge people very much. He could not and would not tolerate injustice. He would not tolerate people who would do harm to children, who would do harm to old people, those who were rude or abusive in their actions to others. He would always defend those people. One time he was communing with God, looking at the Light of the Sun. He was in another world. I asked him a question, He didn’t respond. I asked him again, he didn’t respond. And I insisted that he listen to me. And he turned his gaze upon me, and his eyes were as the Sun. And I was held spellbound by the luminosity and brilliance of the eyes. There was no judgement or pain in the eyes, only a great Light, and I was held suspended by that Light, unable to move for some time. And when he had finished he turned to me, his eyes softened, and he put his arms around me. This was no child.

“‘Jamil taught by example; by the way he walked the fields, by the way he communed with nature, by the way he had a power over animals, by the way animals and insects came to him. His attitude toward people, poor people, Indians, old people, blind people, all kinds of people – was one of benevolence and love. They were all extremely important to him. He knew they were righteous people who were abused by others. They must have been kind, good mothers, or good fathers. And he simply recognized that goodness and blessed them. He would come up and touch them with his hand and sit on their lap, or take their hand and walk with them. In other words, he gave goodness for goodness, and blessing for blessing. But to wicked and unrighteous men he turned his face. He would not tolerate them.

“‘So he did judge the world as a child judges without doing any harm to anyone. He just turned the Light of his face. How can we follow that example? How do we use it to make a decision to leave the world and come into The Community? It is a difficult decision. But then what does the world offer? Very little. Jamil can be likened unto Saint Frances of Assisi in his childlike nature. Saint Francis was a very enlightened person who was teaching the world through example and through humility. He swept churches to keep them clean, he picked up scraps of paper because they might contain the Holy Word of God. He gave example to priests in humility. He demonstrated meekness to his father who was a wealthy man. He gave his cloak to a poor man who would ask him.

“‘There comes a time in every person’s life when they must trust God. Jamil, above all things, was trusting. He believed in God. He believed in the Light. He lived God. He lived the Light as no one I ever saw alive. He was totally trusting. We mortals sometimes lose our trust. We have to have money in the bank, properties to insure our security. It is reasonable in the world of materialism it is to be assumed that we should think that way. If Christ were to ask us to give up all things and follow him, it would be very difficult, as it was difficult for the Hebrews. A few simple fishermen, righteous men, simple men who were trusting, followed him. Jamil teaches us how to trust God. We must have faith in God and in the Sun of Righteousness. And, as Jesus taught, to trust God who takes care of the birds in the air. They do not worry where they are going to get their food from one day to the next. Are we not more important than the birds in the fields? God will take care of the righteous men who trust God as did Jamil. If we believe that the Sun of Righteousness is the Messiah promised by God, that we are living in an age of Light, then all will be well. If we believe that amongst ourselves, and if we emulate that faith and trust that Jamil exemplified, and if we accept him as our patron, the little messenger who showed us the way of faith and hope, then we will, as a Community flourish. But we cannot expect people, as indicated in the Twelfth Saying, to live with one foot in the world and one foot in The Community, living half there and half here. That kind of person cannot instill faith and hope in us. We can teach those people, and give them time to make their decision. But once a person places faith and trust in the Light, then that person must withdraw from the world. We must maintain a communion with God. We must put our faith in the Sun of Righteousness and allow His Word to incarnate within our being and, above all, trust a higher power than the world. Then we will be taken care of individually and collectively.

“‘I believe that above all things Jamil demonstrated the importance of trust and faith. When Jamil was passing out of the world he had total faith and total belief that he was going back to God. He knew exactly what he was doing. And it was shattering to me because I wanted him to remain in the world. I did not want him to leave. I was his father of the flesh, and I needed him with me. But he was going about his Father’s business in a way difficult for a mature man or woman of the world to accept. People are naturally skeptical, cautious, wary of the world. So, for us to live the life of an innocent child is indeed a difficult task. But this is what has been demonstrated and this is how we must live. This is why the unity of The Community is so important – because we draw our faith and our hope and our trust from one another in Christ. Together we make up for our own individual deficiencies or lack of faith or trust or hope. I do believe that if we had a Community during the days of Jamil, as we do now, perhaps he would have remained with us longer. We could have nourished and sustained him with our love and with our Light and with our maturity. But in those days there were too few of us to provide for a Christ being in the world. Therefore, I would answer your question by saying that each person must make his or her decision while placing their faith and trust in God. and believing that what we are doing is right.’

“And when he had finished speaking these words, The Man bestowed gifts of gem stones to each of the mariners to celebrate the giving of the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Sayings on the Ship of Light.”

You will be hearing from me soon on plans for the next annual Convocation, and next week we will begin our review of the Thirteenth Saying. In the meantime, stay safe, healthy and positive!

March 14, 2020

As we approach the anniversary of the birth of The Child, Jamil, on March 16th, it is important for us to remember his message. It is even more important for us to strive to live his Teaching. These important words from the Twelfth Saying emphasize unity within The Community, commitment to The Teaching, and dedication to The Light. This saying also touches on the important t responsibility of all to support the Order in the material world, a responsibility which is often overlooked by members of the Order.

The Twelfth Saying (Part 2 of 4)

“And after completing his reading of the Twelfth Saying, The Man put down the scroll on the table and awaited a response from the listeners. And the Fourth Mariner took a copy of The Prophecies of Jamil, First Prophecy to the Americas and read from page 203 saying: ‘In the first part of the paragraph it states, and I quote, “Demand of those who would receive this knowledge that they dedicate themselves no less than holy men of former times,” and at the end of the paragraph, “Require that those receiving the books of knowledge give of themselves and their holdings in order to perpetuate the New Community.” This seems to tie in with the stress on the Saying we just heard, which states that unity is the first and highest commandment. Here emphasis is placed on commitment. Each Community member is asked to choose between the Light and the Dark, and to dedicate themselves in a way that is appropriate with this prophecy. The Saying stresses the need to perpetuate this teaching found throughout both prophecies, and in the book of Jamil, The Child Christ. The evangelistic charge permeates throughout.’

“And The Man replied: ‘All the holy prophets asked of their followers that they dedicate themselves to the respective teachings completely. In the case of Jesus, he asked each to pick up the cross and follow him. We know that the original followers of Christ joined in community, gave up the world, dedicated their entire being to the teachings, and gave all of their holdings so the Community might flourish. It was not because they wanted the Community to be a material power that they gave of their possessions, but to show their total dedication to the Order. This idea was universal among the followers of Jesus and the apostles. Those who joined the Church left the world and gave of themselves completely. This was the first and foremost obligation expected of members. After all, each wanted to put their holdings at the disposal of the primitive Church so that the greatest good would come of them. It was the same for the Essenes, Theraputae and early Christians. Of course, if for any reason members left the Community their holdings or the value received was returned. No religious community wants to make commerce of its members. But it must insist upon dedication and withdrawal from the world. One cannot become enlightened while still living in the world. Naturally, there is a time and a season when this must be accomplished; some are prepared to leave the world sooner than others, but the fact prevails that as long as a person remains in the world and is bound by possessions, he or she is not completely free to live the life of Christ and serve in community. This is logical. And I presume that this is what is meant in the case of the Twelfth Saying and the passages from the Prophecies which you just read.

“In my own case, every time I have had commitments in the world they have always interfered with my work in the Church. And there has always been a conflict. It is very easy to let worldly influences turn a person from one’s objective. The world has a tendency to cloud one’s vision. One cannot always see clearly what one must do, and in many cases there is confusion. I believe this is what Jamil is trying to point out. Large numbers of individuals are not needed to make the Teachings effective; it will be by unity of those few preordained who believe in the concepts and who can work together. At one time there were only thirteen Christians. And they moved the ancient world.”

I trust you will join me in partaking of the Communion of the Sun of Righteousness this coming Monday, March 16th and recommitting yourself to the maintenance and perpetuation of The Community in the world of matter.

We will now proceed with our review of the Twelfth Saying of The Secret Sayings of Jamil. I hope you are finding value from our review of these very important scriptures which are oftentimes overlooked in favor of our Prophecies and Revelations which are, of course, also very profound.

I have broken this Saying into four parts. This Saying and its commentary are important as it specifically touches on the importance of Community – a concept continually emphasized by my father, The Man. Let us begin with the Saying itself. Next week, we will start with the first portion of the commentary which deals with dedication to The Teaching, as well as support of The Community.

The Twelfth Saying (Part 1 of 4)

“And when The Man had untied the string that bound the scroll he began to read to the men. And these are the words of the Twelfth Saying:

“‘There will come to The Community seekers after spiritual gain who will believe, by reason of their experiences in the ways of the world, that spiritual things can be gathered as can material things. And they would use the Sun of Righteousness for their own selfish ends; using the energy therein not for the good of The Community, nor for the good of mankind, but for their own benefit. They would place those personal benefits above all else, seeking after long life, health, greater intelligence, and higher position, misusing God’s Light for ignoble ends, seeking knowledge, beauty, friendship, and sensuality to become authoritative over lesser men. I say unto you it would be better for such persons that they had never looked upon the face of the Sun to enjoy the beauty of Light. For such goals caused the angels to fall from their lofty heights. I say unto all mortals that the Sun which God has placed in the heavens shall in no way be abused, for the blessings shall be withdrawn from the Light, as is sweetness from a fruit turned bitter. God has ordained that a new religion come into the world to teach the salvation of Man. Unity is the first and highest commandment. For if man not unify into one single community, then diversity has begun. And I say unto you that it shall not be by diversity that God’s new Church will flourish. Let no one believe that the Sun of Righteousness is his to command or to gaze upon outside of communal life. God shall cause a harsh brilliancy to shine upon such eyes to blind the soul to the Image and the Word therein. For those noble souls who bind themselves to The Community, God shall extend a manifold blessing, and they shall share in the benefits that none other shall know, for they acknowledge that the Sun of Righteousness is of God, and under His governorship, and is not to be abused by petty men or women for selfish and gainful ends.’”

Commemoration of Other Appearances (1988)

The Eleventh Saying (Part 4 of 4)

And we now conclude the Eleventh Saying of The Secret Sayings of Jamil with the fourth and final portion of the commentary.

“After these words the Second Mariner asked: ‘Are there any conditions as far as the development of The Community that need to be fulfilled before we are capable of handling this task?’

“And The Man answered him saying: ‘In the Eleventh Saying we are told, “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.” Therefore, within The Community, there will be an order of enlightened minds who will accomplish this judgement. I would imagine that the men and women of that body must be as wise as spiritual judges. The individuals of this body are, first of all, priests of God dedicated to His statutes and judgements in the last and final days of the Earth. The prophet Isaiah talked about the eternal blessing of God, of the new Earth, and he stated, in quoting the Lord: “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” So there will be a new Earth, and the inhabitants will be a new race of Godly men and women.

“‘Isaiah also says, in quoting the Lord: “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.”

“‘Now, these words are from ancient prophets of the Hebrew people and they are harsh; but if we are to believe the words of the prophets, if we are to believe the words of Jamil, that we are in the last and final days of the Earth, then these things shall come to pass. For if people who have transgressed against law not be brought to justice and tried, then the world will never change. Who can better judge man than God?’

After saying this The Man prepared to read the Twelfth Saying.”

And we will begin the Twelfth Saying next week.

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

The Eleventh Saying (Part 3 of 4)

“When he had finished speaking the Fourth Mariner said: ‘Would the nature of the intercession by the adepts then be one of redress, of grievance because of the injustice to God, or is there some kind of physical intervention that they become involved in? What do they do? Are the roles of the adepts limited to observation and bringing to God’s attention wrongdoings, or are they instruments through which God works?’

“And The Man answered him saying: ‘A comparison could be made to a king who, not knowing how his kingdom was being run, sent his agents to all the parts of his empire and asked them to report to him how the governors were ruling the empire and, above all, to report on the condition and welfare of his people. If these agents were to report that the people are being oppressed, exploited, heavily taxed, brutalized and kept in ignorance of his statutes, laws and ordinances, I believe the king is going to be very unhappy. He is going to mete out swift justice for those who have abused their positions in his kingdom. I believe that the agents of this Community will pray to God and spell out very carefully what it is that is wrong. And, that is all they have to do – report. People cannot judge the actions of others; only God can do that. What greater power could be given to mankind than this – to do good upon the Earth? Very few people know the evil and the wrongdoing that takes place in this world. If people knew they would be horrified. We are like surgeons who must probe a diseased body but not be repelled by the stench. It is within our hands to cure the problem if we be not afraid to take the scalpel in our hands.’

“After he had said this the Fourth Mariner asked: ‘Would not God know the injustices that were occurring without the report of an intermediary of some kind?’

“And The Man answered saying: ‘Why does Man need teachers? Why do people need redeemers? Why do individuals need holy men and women of God to teach them? If God could govern mankind without the help of others, He could have done it long ago by direct intervention. Being made in the Image of God and being divine, men and women have the right to govern themselves within the framework of God’s Creation. Human beings are not as animals to be enslaved and governed by a taskmaster. Man is part of the Godhead and must participate in his own divinity. Worldly powers would have mankind as cattle to eat straw and then await slaughter without knowledge of their destiny or ability to protest. God would have them free to bear responsibility as part of the Godhead.

“‘In our America, where the people enjoy certain freedoms, God has sent a messenger into our midst to teach us of greater freedoms. God would that we venture forth into the world teaching of the freedom of mankind. God would have us enjoy this freedom on the material level as well as on the spiritual. We would teach mankind that he should be able to enjoy the privileges of freedom and liberty, to be judged by laws and not by individuals, to live under God in total freedom and liberation and not be denied their rights by those of very evil and wicked nature. This is the whole meaning of the Sun of Righteousness, the Community of Righteous living, and the Sun of Justice. America has been blessed with a high social structure in the first place in order for a high religion to be ushered forth within the nation.

“‘Thereafter, the whole family of Man must-needs be instructed in a higher life recognizing human rights as well as spiritual rights of the highest order. Man must-needs accept responsibility for his individual and social life. Let me give you an example. Suppose you lived a hundred years ago and you visited a settlement ruled by a wicked sheriff who was in league with a wicked judge and a wicked businessman. The populace were taxed unfairly, prices were high, children were forced to leave school in order to work, women were being abused and the men subdued, would you pass on through or try to do something about helping them? You might have gone into the local church and prayed asking for help that might never come. If help did not come, you could have joined the rest of the populace in submission. By so doing you would have been condoning the right of unrighteous men to govern outside the law except that of their own making. To have done this would have meant forfeiting your manhood by living under the injustices for security’s or safety’s sake, turning away and ignoring evil. Or you might have taken the matter into your own hands, or joined with others, to uphold the law. You might have learned to use a pistol and fought against wickedness as a warrior. In this respect you would have regained your manhood. For no one can stand idly by while unjust men abuse innocent women and children or lesser men. God has sent into the world a righteous weapon that Godly men and women can wield against unrighteous and wicked people while acting within the law of God.

“‘Did not Moses seek to free his people who were enslaved by Pharaoh? Moses received divine assistance from God to intercede for the Hebrews. It is the same today, only on a far greater scale. God has given spiritual powers to enlightened men and women of a new religious community so that they may free the human family from its bondage to material enslavement and government by principalities of the Earth now under the power and influence of Darkness. God would free mankind through this religion of Light, in union with the Sun of Righteousness, beginning in America. Never in the entire history of human evolution has such a power been given unto mankind by which to do good in the world.’”

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

 

 

 

 

February 12, 2020

And here is the first portion of the commentary relating to the Eleventh Saying. I apologize for the length, but there was not a good way to shorten it.

The Eleventh Saying (Part 2 of 4)

“When The Man finished reading, he put down the paper and waited. And each of the mariners contemplated his words. And no one spoke for several minutes. Still The Man waited. And after a time the First Mariner spoke saying: ‘Is this to say that we, the adepts of the Community, are to be the observers of the injustices or wrong doings of the world, and to call upon solar forces to administer justice, or just punishment?’

“And seeing some concern on the faces of the mariners, The Man took a copy of the Bible and, leafing through the thin rice pages, came to a section that was marked by a red ribbon. And speaking softly and directly to the seafarer who had asked the question he said: ‘Let me read you chapter 4 of the book of Malachi from the Old Testament:

“‘For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. Remember ye the Law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgements. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.’

“And laying the holy book down beside him The Man spoke: ‘Men throughout the Christian world have asked and prayed for the Second Coming of Christ. They forget that when Jesus spoke about the final age of the world, when God shall judge it, he said there would be no Light, but Darkness. Men forget that they are to be judged for their crimes, not rewarded by God . The injustices on this planet are not only an abomination to the dignity of Man, but a crime so horrendous that I have no words to describe it. These crimes occur in prisons, institutions and in society. We can recall what took place in the camps during the great war. There were men, God fearing men, who were cremated, tortured, abused, deprived of all dignity and treated like cattle or worse, because other men had chosen to oppress them. These crimes still continue today on a very large scale where politically-minded persons believe they have the right to do whatever they will against the citizenry of the world simply because there is no one to oppose them. The aged are mistreated. Widows and orphans go hungry. The young are exposed to immoral and unrighteous teachings. Crime and unethical ways are encouraged by those given the responsibility of helping the unfortunate. Homes of correction and prisons abuse those sent to them for help. The sick and infirm are exploited by healers and makers of drugs and medicines. Judges misuse their powers. Public media poison the minds of the populace with propaganda. People of power and wealth make commerce of human beings. Politicians and dictators deny Man the right of individual freedom, the right to worship God, or to know the truth.

“‘Who is to judge powerful nations and powerful men who govern and dominate the lives of the populace? They have become powers unto themselves. Are they to be allowed to continue their mistreatment and injury to the human soul? We all should thank God that He has sent the Sun of Justice, the Messianic Sun, to judge the world for its wrongdoings against Man and Heaven. If we believe in law and order, in justice and goodness, then let mankind be judged by a superior power. If we believe in righteousness, then let God, the true King of the world, mete out justice to men and nations. We know from what has been told us that Man is to be judged not by Man, or by the laws of Man, but by God and by God’s laws. When we of this Community see injustice, wrongdoing and crime against individuals, peoples and nations, we should pray to God through the Light of His Sun to judge these wrongdoers by strong Light. By these means they will be burned up, we are told. Whether this is a figurative statement or not, I do not know. But I suspect that individuals who do wrong will be inflamed by an inner Light. Perhaps nations, and the world, will be burnt away by a strong Light from the Sun. To me, it is a wonderful thing that God has sent the means to accomplish a great good in the world. If Man has set himself up above God’s Law then he must answer for it.

“‘No adept has the power to punish Man. But he can observe wrongdoing and pray to God to correct it through the Sun of Justice. I believe that if enlightened adepts of Light fail to serve as humanity’s protectors, if they neglect their responsibility by allowing crime to be committed, then the world is lost. We all know there is no earthly power alone, no individual power, that can assist mankind in the world today.

“‘I am not speaking here only about crimes of violence and brutality, but of those more sinister crimes against the human Spirit; crimes against humanity by men in power who bend and twist the minds of men away from their dignity and status as children of God. Such powers seek to reshape human souls and turn them away from their own spiritual rights given by God. They would bend men to the Earth, taking away their individual rights as divine beings. Such powers deny that Man has greater rights than those afforded by earthly rulers. They kill the mind and the Spirit and make of human beings playthings of the powers of Darkness whose intent it is to deny mankind forever its immortality. I tell you, gentlemen, these are crimes to be feared more than any other, even those of armies which rule men by force. For Darkness kills the human Spirit silently and it passes away into oblivion as if it had never been. But we know that God’s Light manifest in the Sun of Justice is more powerful than any weapon of war, more powerful than any material power of the Earth. No living thing can withstand the Light that has come in the Sun. And this is what is meant in the biblical passage which says that the Earth shall burn as an oven and all that do wickedly shall burn with it. Not for two thousand years have the prophets of God wielded such a power to do good on Earth. Therefore, it is important that men and women of God unify themselves into an enlightened Order and become the instruments of God on Earth and servants of the people who are crying out for illumination. Who shall help them it not men and women of God? If we could but observe on all the Earth the wickedness and evil promulgated by people of power who are in league with the powers of Darkness because they are so dominated, though to all appearances they are sworn to uphold the law, but for the most part are corrupt, accept bribes, encourage the use of drugs in society, tolerate organized crime, abuse people of all ages, cause whole nations to be armed against their neighbors, forced to build weapons of war and kept in bondage because of the debt thereof, we would want to do something about it – just as the knights of Light and angelic powers in olden times fought for goodness. The time may come, gentlemen, when it will be too late to help.

“‘I don’t believe the Sun of Righteousness is a flaming sword in the hand of adepts that is going to be wielded day by day to cut down the wicked. I believe the Sun works very slowly, but surely. But, the Light of God must be turned on Man’s institutions which are opposed to God, which carry on the work of evil, and the work of the Devil, and the work of Darkness. For those of Light who stand idly by, and watch the world be corrupted by Darkness without doing anything about it, are not fit to look upon the face of the Sun. Think back to Jesus and his actions. Think back to the actions of the apostles, and what they tried to do, to bring about among the peoples of the world. We, as illuminated Souls, must uphold the goodness of God and His Light in the world.”

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.

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.
