We continue with the substantial commentary of the Seventeenth Saying of Jamil. This portion of the commentary moves on from curing the material sun to the concept of the multi-dimensional intelligences residing within it. I find it quite fascinating, as I’m sure you will.

The Seventeenth Saying (Part 3)

And The Man continued:

“‘Returning to the concept of the cosmos as a dimension, we need to consider the following points. Are there living intelligences in the sun? Of course there are. One might inquire at this point whether these intelligences are fifth-dimensional or fourth dimensional. One might speculate that these intelligences are fourth-dimensional, or should be fourth-dimensional, because the sun is material, and we know that fifth-dimensional beings inhabit a spiritual world. But since we are discussing the distinction between material and spiritual, let us speculate somewhat.

“‘The fourth dimension, as well as the fifth dimension, must occupy a place in time or space. This place must be within our perceptory range, either by means of our physical or spiritual senses. The only place in the known universe where this could occur is the sun, and when we go to the sun by means of our sense of vision, we immediately enter stellar systems because the sun is interrelated with other sun systems. Let us suppose that solar beings or solar intelligences are representative of the fourth and fifth dimensions; that is, both Light beings and Dark beings exist within the stellar systems. This would indicate that energy radiated from the sun would be filled with intelligences of both Light and Dark beings, and that all information streaming down to earth from the sun in the form of sunlight, and other forms of solar radiation, is ultra-dimensional. Therefore, when we, as solar adepts, look at the sun, we become involved with intelligences higher than our own and that of our planet.

“‘These concepts open up new vistas for the human mind, and especially for our spiritual Consciousness which is a higher faculty of cognition that does not have its origin in the third-dimensional world. It has its origin in a higher dimension which is a dimension just briefly removed from God. We can assume that the higher intelligences and the intelligence of energy from the sun and the stars nourish Man’s true being, which by necessity is nurtured on ultradimensional forms of energy and intelligence. Man’s true being does not live on blood or living creatures; this true being lives on intelligence and energy not generated by the planet. In other words, Man is an ultradimensional being that has his origin in ultradimensional worlds. When he desires to transcend the material world, he must generate, or cause to come into being, a new nature that has direct contact with higher worlds.’”

For those of you in the United States, I wish you a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

Let’s resume the commentary from last week.

The Seventeenth Saying (Part 2)

And The Man continued to say to the Companions of the Way:

“‘As adepts we look at the physical sun, believing we can bring about its cure. We do it not by focusing on the physical sun but on the spiritual Sun of Righteousness. We do this not by means of our mind, will, or emotions but by a developed spiritual Consciousness. This is to say that an adept who has learned to apply the formulas and rites in the proper way can influence the spiritual Sun and have a positive effect on the material sun, whereas secular persons would only contribute to the death of the material sun by infecting it with their negative and materialistic thoughts, thus resulting in the death of the planet.

“‘Spiritual solar adepts are cognizant of the spiritual Sun behind the physical sun, and of the True Earth as it exists in its original form, not just of what is perceived by the perceptory senses, or of that which is registered by the mind and emotions.

“‘Secular scientists account material phenomena and discount spiritual phenomena. They look at the result as opposed to the source, to the effect as opposed to the cause. They judge the solar system by what they perceive with their senses or by means of their instruments or machines. Secular science is just what its name implies – material science. The sun nourishes the solar system with energy in its diverse forms. Scientists look at this energy as a source of energy to be applied in a practical manner. They do not acknowledge the existence of an intelligence within that energy. When they use energy they discount this intelligence factor and the laws governing it. We, of this religion, being spiritual scientists, consider that the sun is a source of intelligence or information – this was recognized in ancient days by the Greeks, Romans, Persians, Chinese, Indians, Mexicans, Peruvians, and peoples of many other cultures who recognized and conceived the sun to be a living being with an intelligence as opposed to an inanimate object, such as a ball of fire, and that the human race with all of creation evolved by this solar intelligence and by the Intelligence of God.

“‘All living things on the planet are influenced by the intelligence of the living sun and the planet, and these intelligences are stronger than their own. This concept clashes with the modern world’s idea that every person possesses free will. So the cosmos, being filled with energy radiated by the sun and star systems, holds sway over the sensible world and the intelligible world, to use the old Roman terminology, by the intelligence factors within the energy or radiation. The cosmos is a material dimension which is governed by energy and radiation. The material world is governed by the radiation and intelligence of the sun in the same way the physical sun receives its energy and intelligence from other suns or star systems. Thus, when we consider the material universe, we must consider that it is more extensive than the small globe we call Earth. Our planet Earth represents only a small part, an insignificant part, of what constitutes the material universe. The material universe is endless if perceived by the senses. If measured by the perceptory senses or studied by the mind it cannot be finite because it has had no beginning and therefore can have no end. Thus, the material universe is beyond the logical or rational mind. The cosmos has no beginning or end for us because we cannot perceive this beginning or end; it is beyond our capacity to do so. If scientists were to examine the end of the universe, that point where it appears to end, that ending would be a beginning because light expands out in all directions at a speed faster than our senses can perceive it. For this reason, the material universe cannot be measured or even understood by a materialistic science that excludes the origin and very nature of the universe.’”

Incidentally, I was asked this week from a member of The Community about the dark state of the world and of the United States in particular and what role our Church, the True Church of Christ, plays at this time. I think when we are done reviewing the Seventeenth Saying in its entirety, the answer to that question will be clearer.

The Seventeenth Saying (Part 1)

After a short pause, The Man took the second scroll in hand and, loosening the ribbon that tied it, began to read.

“And these are the words of the Seventeenth Saying:

The health of the material sun is dependent upon the thoughts and actions of the family of mankind. If the sun is diseased. it is because the races and the nations of the world have contributed to its ill health. For the sun, too, is a living thing. Its cure remains within the power of the righteous members of the Order.

Let this truth be kept unto the Order, for it is the healing of the sun that should concern members and not the speaking of it which is of little avail.

Only the dedication of the ordained can restore the sun to health by use of the secret formulas I have entrusted into your care.

“With this reading, The Man put away the second scroll as he had the first. And the men fell into an open discussion of the Sayings. But when the sea freshened under a stiff breeze, The Man had them hoist the anchor, instructing them to return the ship to its berth before the setting of the sun. He promised to speak more of the Sayings on the morrow.

“And a second rainbow, more splendorous than the first, formed in the heavens against a background of billowing clouds that rolled down upon the sea from the mountain heights.

“When the anchor was weighed, they made sail, making for the marina. And when they ran the vessel into Honolulu Channel and entered the harbor on the south side of Sand Island, away from the boiling sea, shafts of light cast by the setting sun illuminated the mountains. Then the sun sank into the blue sea, radiating a burst of emerald green. “Once in port, The Man and The Mariners returned to the company of the Companions of Light.

“And on the day following, The Man, seeing the weather to be unfavorable, went in company with The Mariners to Aiea Heights overlooking Pearl Harbor to an ancient temple once used by the Kahuna priests of old for healing. And when they had seated themselves among the broken stones under the spreading canopy of a creeping and twisted Hau tree of heart-shaped leaves, one of The Mariners, the first to present a question on the Sixteenth Saying, besought him saying, ‘If the death of the planet is inevitable unless the sun be cured, when will the signs manifest in our space-time?’

“And The Man answered him and said, ‘This Keaiwa Heiau, or healing temple, was built ages ago in the time of Kakuhihewa. It was administered by the Kahuna, Lappaa Keaiwa, a learned medical priest who possessed mysterious healing powers when used in conjunction with the various healing plants of the kind you see growing on these sacred grounds. Even as this temple is now a ruin due to the loss of the arts and knowledge of the priests, so is the world in a state of decay, for Man has lost sight of the religious arts and sciences held sacred by priests ordained by God to possess them. From this we learn that everything in life has a season.

“All the great world religions have prophesied that at the end times, or at the end of the age, the earth would be destroyed by fire. The destruction of the earth by fire would have its origin in the sun; for if the sun were to die it would experience increased temperature which would destroy the earth in the process.

“According to scientific observation, the sun has become unstable. The expected life of the sun is undetermined. The sun could live for billions, or millions, or thousands of years, or it could die tomorrow. Those of us who have been viewing the face of the sun for decades would say that the sun has become unstable in civilized areas of the world. The sun is very sharp and harsh and difficult to look at in metropolitan centers, while at isolated areas of the earth, such as islands of the seas, jungles, mountains and deserts, the reverse is true. Thus, where there are materialistic people or populated areas, there exists a negative field that affects the sun and, consequently, the earth with harmful results.

“We know that the human mind can affect the sun. Therefore, as Man becomes more materialistic, as religion becomes more helpless to combat the materialism of the earth, the process leading to the sun’s end might be speeded up. Considering these facts, it could happen very quickly, throwing the ecosystem of the sun and earth into chaos.’

“Another Mariner, the second to speak, asked, ‘Could we compare that process prophesied by Jamil, the sun’s extinction or material destruction, to that of a nova or a supernova explosion – that is, the sun increasing in brightness to several times its normal magnitude?’ And The Man affirmed that the secular, scientific explanation of the death of a star could be applied to our own sun.

“And a third Mariner spoke asking, ‘According to the previous prophecies of Jamil, it is the ultimate destiny of the planet to become a fiery orb, as the sun. Naturally, this would spell the end of sentient life as we know it in the material world. Now, how does the fact that the sun is diseased relate to the ultimate destiny of the planet?’

“The Man pondered this question for a moment and then said, ‘If the sun were to increase in brilliance and, consequently, heat, destroying the earth in the process, the earth would end materially. On the other hand, if the earth were to be transformed into a sun by a different process, we would have something else to consider. For example, if the earth were destroyed by the heat of a dying sun, we have a negative event. But, if the earth were to be transformed into a sun by a supernatural process or event, then we have a positive event. The first is to be likened unto death, the second unto life.”

We will continue this theme next week.
