FIRST BOOK In this book which is for reading and study are the Foundational Religious Teachings of Life Eternal, by which We keep open the door to the Heavenly Mansion, showing what We really are as Sons in this Mansion and that We as Sons are identical in Life, even with the Life of Christ Jesus. — REBECKA C. BERG FOREWORD All revelations or interpretations of Life Eternal have come, are coming, and must come from the Life that is eternal in Heaven. Life eternal lives consciously, and enjoys Heaven in full on the incorporeal side. Life knows its own Life, and is conscious in its Consciousness, and enjoys Heaven. Life Eternal must reveal and explain the Truth about itself. So always, it will take Life Eternal to reveal and explain about Life Eternal, even to reveal and explain what it consists in, what it is or what is meant by Life Eternal including Consciousness and Heaven. So all revelation or interpretation about Life Eternal comes from the Within Life — yes, from the Knowing Life that is eternal, and alone has power to reveal itself as it is from the divine or heavenly side out to mankind in space. Life Eternal is entirely incorporeal and incorporeally sided, and here it has its own immortal mode of interpreting, explaining and revealing itself from the incorporeal side through the word. So the word is the most useful medium yet invented for the purpose of revelation. The Life that is divine and eternal is so infinitely beautiful and great that it cannot be fully explained or revealed through the word, for words are form, and as such are limited to form. The word, however, is used as a channel for explanation and revelation, and through this channel Life eternal in Heaven from Heaven sends messages of enlightenment, encouragement and comfort directly to the people in space. Thus Life Eternal, like a shepherd, feeds the flock and comforts the people. It is Life Eternal of the Qualified Man which concerns us most. Life Eternal of each man is so infinitely divine and beautiful that it cannot be fully explained through words. Yet, foreknowing the possibilities of explaining and revealing Life Eternal from the heavenly side out to the people in space, the Author, having a fixed devotion for the art of revelation, straight from the I Am viewpoint of divine success, is looking forward toward perfect and complete success, even unto having completed all successes successfully. From here, therefore, the Author expects to bring home to Readers the revelation of the Truth that each Life is divine and eternal now, lives a conscious Life now, and enjoys Heaven now. It shall also be revealed that We are the Qualified Life of the Trinity Man; and that We have the same kind of life that the Life of Christ Jesus had when it was a Qualified Life of the Trinity Man. Also, that We are conscious in the same Consciousness in which the Life of Christ Jesus was conscious; and that We All enjoy the same Heaven that the Life of Christ Jesus enjoyed when it was a Qualified Life of the Trinity Man. Thus, the Life of Christ Jesus was not the only Son in Heaven, for WE ALL AS THE QUALIFIED LIFE OF MAN ARE SONS IN HEAVEN! The “Divine We” when it concerns us as Sons in Heaven includes Life Divine of me, and Life Divine of every human man. I have only one Life, and I live this Life in the Manfold, in Heaven. The Life I have I know is divine and eternal; and because I know this, I also know that all Life is divine and eternal. Moreover, it is also because I know that each Life Eternal consists in the same Life-containing Qualities that I am able to reveal from the heavenly side the Eternal Truth to the people in space. Life was given for I am, to be lived for the incorporeal purpose of revealing Life Eternal, from the heavenly side, out to the people in space. And I, as a Son in Heaven, am now ready to reveal Life Eternal of all. The All Life ever includes us as Sons. I have had knowledge in Life ever since the Life was given for I am; so knowledge is not acquired. It is this knowledge in the Life that makes a great demand upon I am to reveal the Truth about Life Eternal along all lines, to the best of the ability. So, although I am conscious that the knowledge in Life is infinitely greater than is the ability to explain it, yet I shall explain Known Truth to the best of the ability, using this channel afforded by language. The Heavenly Father knows I Am and knows that I can write words which will best explain the Truth as it is in Life Eternal. So, every word I write, I shall write for the incorporeal purpose of telling the Truth about Life Eternal. Now, the Heavenly Father has given I Am the order that I should work divinely for the incorporeal purpose of revealing the Truth about Life Eternal, from the heavenly side, through this divine method of writing words to the people in space. This I have cherished as a divine and glorious order, for it is coupled with a sacred opportunity to do so in strict obedience to the Father’s Will. So, it is the duty of the I am to act in obedience to the Father’s Will, and to do so is also a priceless privilege immensely worth while. Though this requires much work for the Author, this work is a beautiful and a blissful one, for it brings its own great reward. I consider no work too great which is given I am for the purpose of revealing the Truth of Being, but will accept it joyfully and pursue it patiently. Life because of its incorporeal sidedness can be revealed only from this incorporeal side. When I now start the revelation about Life from this side where Life is, and reveal what I know it is in its divinity and perfection, I shall be zealously careful to adhere to the Truth of the Divine Being, continuously. So this new revelation or explanation of Life Eternal and its Work will thus be trustworthy and also comprehensible. So, what I reveal comes forth fresh from Life Eternal, and is exactly in accordance with the Truth of Being. Thus what has hitherto been unrevealed about Life Eternal shall be revealed. And the revelation shall be found as an open book. —REBECKA C. BERG
CHAPTER I THE ONE WHOLE LIFE ETERNAL It shall now be revealed from the heavenly side of Life that Life is in one whole eternally, therefore here is, and can be, but One Life Eternal on the heavenly side, and in the one life thus the All in All Life is known to live eternally. The One Life Eternal in its complete and perfect whole from eternity consists in Life-containing Qualities which are equally life-containing; or are identically the same in life-content. Thus, it is possible to explain the One Life Eternal by Life-containing Qualities, and by taking all Life-containing Qualities into consideration and explaining them together as Life, yes, as the One Life Eternal, the Author of this book will be able to reveal exactly what the One Life Eternal is or what it is composed of. For explanatory reasons, the Qualities must have names; and they must have different names. However, names, when they concern Life-containing Qualities, are but titles used for their identification, and through which information about Life Eternal may be given for the benefit and comfort of the people. The distinction between Life-containing Qualities is found to be in one’s explanation of them; yet it is true that the explanation about one Quality is ever applicable to all Qualities. The names of the Life-containing Qualities which are the ingredients in Life Eternal may be alphabetically arranged as follows: Beauty, Good, Honesty, Intelligence, Knowledge, Law, Light, Love, Mind, Power, Purity, Right, Soul, Truth, Will and Wisdom. All are in equal and precise quantities perfectly united and it is in this unity or oneness of the Qualities that Life Eternal as a Whole is complete and perfect. From this it is revealed that the One Life Eternal has within but One Beauty, One Good, One Honesty, One Intelligence, One Knowledge, One Law, One Light, One Love, One Mind, One Power, One Purity, One Righteousness, One Soul, One Truth, One Will, and One Wisdom.
A QUALITY IS WHOLE ETERNALLY Every Life-containing Quality is whole. And what is really meant by a Whole Quality is this, that the Quality ever retains all the Life-content that belongs to it as a Life-ingredient, so that the Life-content that really is the Whole Quality remains precisely the same in value within the One Life Eternal; and the Quality is changeless, undivided and indivisible eternally.
A WHOLE QUALITY IS ALSO A PRECISE QUALITY It must be remembered that the equality and precision of the Qualities in the One Life are as eternal as is the Life itself. Thus, in the One Life Eternal, Beauty is precise; Good is precise; Honesty is precise; Intelligence is precise; Knowledge is precise; Law is precise; Light is precise; Love is precise; Mind is precise; Power is precise; Purity is precise; Righteousness is precise; Soul is precise; Truth is precise; Will is precise, and Wisdom is precise. Thus, whole qualities in Life are also precise; and each Quality, as a Life-containing Ingredient, contains an equal quantity of life-containing substance or essence; and in order to have all life-substance or essence which belongs to Life, in Life, all Life-containing Qualities containing this life-substance or essence are and must be in life eternally. So because the Qualities are in Life-content identically the same, or are both qualitatively and quantitatively the same, it is true also, that all Life-containing Qualities are equally valuable in the One Life Eternal, which they together equally constitute.
THE LIFE CONTAINING QUALITIES ARE PERFECTLY UNITED The Life-containing Qualities as ingredients in the One Life Eternal are in their wholeness and precision perfectly united, so that it is in the “at-one-ment” or in the association of them that the One Life Eternal is what it is eternally. How true it is then that the Life-containing Qualities can all be summed up and known by the term the One Life Eternal.
THE
ONE LIFE ETERNAL IS INCLUSIVE OF ALL LIFE-CONTAINING QUALITIES, The One Life Eternal includes within itself all Life-containing Qualities, and is thus all that the Life-containing Qualities include. This means that all Life-containing Qualities are within the One Life Eternal, so that only in the One Life are all Life-containing Qualities known to be. But it is because of the precision equality, unity or oneness of them, that they are the entire Life-substance or Essence known as the One Whole Life Eternal.
IN THE ONE LIFE ETERNAL ALL LIFE-CONTAINING QUALITIES ARE KNOWN TO BE ETERNALLY Now it is explained that all Life-containing Qualities which compose the One Life Eternal are in the Whole Life, eternally. Also, the One Life Eternal possesses its own power to retain for itself its own Qualities of Life, and so is absolutely filled with Living Qualities, and not a fragment can ever be added to or taken from Life. Nothing can be sacrificed, for the One Life Eternal is Whole — eternally. Thus this Whole Life Eternal is the “All In All Life.” So only in the Whole Life is the “All In All Life” known to be eternally. When We use the term “All In All Life” We mean the One Life Eternal (besides which there is no other Life). And again, when We use the term “All Good,” We refer to the One Life Eternal, for only in the Whole Life is ALL GOOD known to be eternally. The saying “There is none good but one” refers to the One Life Eternal on the incorporeal side, for Quality Good is in the One Life. How true it is that the Whole of Life Eternal includes All-beauty, All-good, All-honesty, All-intelligence, All-knowledge, All-law, All-light, All-love, All-mind, All-power, All-purity, All-righteousness, All-love, All-truth, All-will, and All- wisdom. When We say that the one Life Eternal consists in a combination of Life-containing Qualities, We then mean to explain the Life-containing Qualities together as the “All In All Life,” inclusive of All Life Eternal.
THE ONE LIFE ETERNAL IS KNOWABLE AND EXPLAINABLE THROUGH LIFE-CONTAINING QUALITIES It is now revealed that the One Life Eternal contains many Life-containing Qualities, and that it is divinely possible to know and explain the One Life, through the Life-containing Qualities.
THE ONE LIFE ETERNAL IS WHOLE ETERNALLY The One Life Eternal lived eternally as a Whole Life and as It is living now is the same Whole Life. So here is just one absolutely Whole Life on the incorporeal side. A Life, to be in One Whole eternally, means that precisely as It is, It was, and will be eternally. Thus, Life Eternal as a whole will remain whole eternally. Therefore, because the entire Life Eternal is in one whole now, it will be exactly what it is now, “The One Whole Life Eternal” on the incorporeal side. To be “One Whole Life” then, does mean that as the Whole of Life Eternal lives on the incorporeal side it continues to live identically the same eternally. Thus, the One Life Eternal is wholly eternal, wholly divine, wholly real, wholly complete and perfect, and wholly unchangeable and indivisible. It is also wholly incorporeal and incorporeally-sided. Therefore, these preceding terms must apply exclusively to Life Eternal, and the meaning of each term is known in Life Eternal, on the incorporeal side. The term “incorporeal” has divine meaning in Life Eternal, and only Life Eternal knows divine meanings about its own Life. The term “incorporeal,” however, has several synonyms, namely : infinite, limitless, boundless, measureless, and others not here mentioned. Although all of these synonymous terms refer entirely to the incorporeality of Life Eternal, none of them equals the precision of meaning that is expressed by the term “incorporeal,” for by the term “incorporeal” it is revealed that the entire Whole Life Eternal is wholly incorporeal, and because it is wholly incorporeal, it is also wholly incorporeally-sided.
CONSCIOUSNESS IS ETERNAL REALITY It is absolutely true in Life that Life alone is and can be conscious, and Life is conscious of its own Life Eternal and of its own Kingdom of Heaven. Here is only one Whole Life on the incorporeal side. This life has, and can have, but one whole Consciousness, and only the Consciousness that the Whole Life Eternal has is Consciousness, and this Consciousness is whole, eternally. The Whole Life Eternal will continue its Consciousness a Whole Consciousness, which means that the One Consciousness as it is eternal is also divinely real; and is like Life in this, that it continues identically the same eternally. So Consciousness is changeless, undivided and indivisible eternally and heavenly or incorporeally-sided eternally. The Whole Life Eternal is One; Consciousness of this Whole Life is One, and the One Life and its Consciousness belong together and cannot be divided. So the absolute Divinity and Supremacy of the One Life Eternal is here revealed.
CHAPTER II THE
ONE LIFE COMPOSED OF DIVINE AND ETERNAL QUALITIES IS A LIFE FOR EVERY
ONE In the one Life Eternal (which ever is, and ever was, the Life of the living) are all Life-containing Qualities. How true it is then that in perfect unity and oneness of Life-containing Qualities the Whole of Life Eternal is. Even as it is a Life for every one. So how wondrously divine, eternal, complete, perfect, changeless and indivisible the One Life is! As it lives in All Life, through All Life, and is the Life for All! Yet, the whole of Life ever is one. So the One Life Eternal, as it consists in Life-containing Qualities, is the absolute Life-source of Being, beyond which there is no other life, and no other life-source of being.
THE ONE LIFE ETERNAL IS IN THREE EQUAL FOLDS AND IS A THREEFOLD LIFE From what has been explained in the preceding chapter, it is plain that here is but One Life Eternal, on the incorporeal side. In this chapter it shall be revealed that the One Life Eternal is from eternity a Threefold Life, so “Threefold Life” refers to the One Life Eternal. Here on the heavenly side, where I know Life’s Wholeness in precise degree to the power of knowing, I know that the One Life Eternal is in one quantity, and here I divinely explain the One Life as a Threefold Life, by saying that in the One Life, or in the One Quantity of Life, the Life of God, and the Life of the Universe, and the Life of Man live in perfect unity and oneness as a Threefold Life. Therefore, from eternity the One Life Eternal is a Threefold Life! And it will continue as a Threefold Life, eternally. So, whether we say the One Life Eternal or the Threefold Life, it still refers to the One Life Eternal on the incorporeal side. Now that the One Life Eternal is precisely Threefold, all three folds equal, it is and could not he otherwise, but be the Life of Three Divine Beings in exactly the same degree or equally. The One Life Eternal is in and is the Life of the Three Divine Beings equally. Or we may say that the One Life Eternal is in Three Equal Folds, for the term “Folds” has given the Author an opportunity to explain how the One Life Eternal, which from eternity is a Perfect Whole, yet is the life of three, in such divine order that the one Life remains Whole and is exactly the same (and is not divided into Three) for One Is Three and Three Are One.
HOW
THE ONE LIFE ETERNAL IS BOTH ONE AND THREE: GOD The One Life Eternal is the Life called God, in such divine order that the Life of God may be likened unto a fold in the One Life. When we liken the Life of God to a fold in the One Life, it is that the Life of God is the same Life as is the One Life, and is ever infolded within the One Life. It cannot, therefore, be separated or divided from the One Life in which it is a fold. The Life called God may now be likened unto a fold in the One Life Eternal; and likened unto a fold, thus, is one of the three equal folds in Life Eternal. The Life in God’s Fold is identical with the Life in the Fold of the Universe, and also is identical with the Life in the Fold of Man. From this it is revealed that the Life of the Three-in-one is identically the same. So it is well to remember that when we liken the Life of God unto a fold in the One Life Eternal, we must also liken both the Life of the Universe and the Life of Man to a fold in the One Life. For from this it is, that we are able to explain the One Life Eternal as precisely threefold. The Life called God as known by itself cannot alone be in the Whole Life Eternal and be the Whole Life Eternal. So neither God nor any Living Being by itself is or could be the Whole Life Eternal, or be known as the Whole Life Eternal. The Life of God is a Trinity Life in the One Life Eternal, and the Trinity Life of God is all this that it is, for what it is, it both was and shall be eternally. This explanation of the Life of God is applicable both to the Life of the Universe and to the Life of Man. For the Life of the Three Divine Beings is both qualitatively and quantitatively the same, and that Equality. Unity and Oneness are the Holy Trinity for the Divine Three.
— HOLY TRINITY — EQUALITY,
PERFECT UNITY AND ETERNAL ONENESS OF LIFE AMONG THE DIVINE THREE When we use the name “Holy Trinity” we thus refer directly to the Living Life as the Three-in-One, beyond which there is no other life and no other “Holy Trinity.” So here is but One Trinity God, One Trinity Universe, and One Trinity Man in Life Eternal, and these Three are One. Holy Trinity refers to the Divine Unity and Oneness of Life among Three Divine Beings which are and eternally will be in the One Life Eternal in Heaven. Thus it is that the unity of Three Divine Beings in One is, and must be known as “The Holy Trinity,” which explains in a measure Life’s Divine Peace, Bliss and Glory, because of Divine Equality, Oneness and Unity.
CHAPTER III EXPLANATION ABOUT THE WORK OF THE THREEFOLD LIFE The Divine Three in the One Life Eternal are wholly incorporeal Beings, and They have incorporeal purposes of Their own, purposing to reveal Life incorporeal, which consists in Qualities from the incorporeal side out to space, by giving expressions or revelations of these Qualities, through a created form universe and a created form man. The Divine Three had divinely agreed that They should create a form man in space — yes, many millions of them, and therefore are ever conscious that Their power is not only in Their ability to create all these man forms, but also in Their ability to maintain them in all parts in the original forms. Thus it is that each created form man, from the very first of creation onward, had to he maintained in connection distinctly separate and independent from the others by Life, so that the originality of each should be preserved constantly. It was a divine order of the Divine Three, agreed upon by them, that the Trinity Man should be given the responsibility for the maintenance of every created form man, as created in space. Giving the Life of Man the opportunity to maintain every created form man in space, the Trinity Man to maintain every created form man, in space, in any other way than by precisely powerful Life, is not possible. How absolutely true it is then that the Life called Trinity Man exclusively possesses the power to qualify for itself acting causes real and true, which would act and be assigned the important duties of maintaining created man forms in space. The divine Three knew equally well that every created form man required constant attention, and that it is for the order of Life to maintain constant connection with them. Moreover, they knew equally well the possibilities of being successful in maintaining every created form man by precisely Qualified Life, and agreed that here would be a Life qualified to each form man which would act as the cause for the maintenance, and that the Life acting as cause thus should be given the entire responsibility for the maintenance of the connection with the created form n man. Even each Qualified Life which was to serve thus as an Acting Cause should first be precisely qualified in the Life of Man. And every one thus qualified should retain for itself the given Life, entirely changeless, while acting as cause. This shows how it was intended from the start by The Divine Three that every Qualified Man should be precisely qualified for the purpose of acting as cause; even to be given the entire responsibility for the maintenance of the connection with the created form man in space. Indeed this is a most favorable arrangement, when we know in terms of the then oncoming creation, that in order to have the foreseen creation successfully maintained and preserved in space, each form had to be maintained distinctly separate from the others by precisely powerful Life.
THE TRINITY LIFE OF MAN The Life of man is one of the Three Divine Beings in the Holy Trinity. So by the Trinity Life of man is meant the Whole Life Eternal of man as one man in the One Life Eternal. And how true it is that the Whole Life of man as one man could not function and maintain every created form man in space, for each form man had to be maintained in space distinctly separate from the others by a precisely Qualified Life. This is prior to the Great Qualification when the Life we call Trinity Man had assumed the responsibility of the maintenance of every created form man in space, and had exclusive power to will, and to arrange a portion in its Whole Life into other little portions, to function through Portion Life in its Whole Life, and to maintain every created form man in space. The Trinity Life of Man is composed of Life-con-taming Qualities which are: Beauty, Good, Honesty, Intelligence, Knowledge, Law, Light, Love, Mind Power, Purity, Righteousness, Soul, Truth, Will and Wisdom.
CHAPTER IV EXPLANATION ABOUT THE GIVING OF LIFE FOR QUALIFIED LIFE OF MAN The I am Life was given by Thee, 0 Father ! So I am living in Thee. Therefore, All words of explanation in this chapter, let them be about the Life of Thee and the Life of me. These words, “the I am Life,” as here used by the Author in the lines just preceding, concern Life itself of the Qualified Man and therefore are divinely applicable to every Qualified Man. So the content of the following explanation in this chapter as well as the explanation about the Qualified Life throughout the entire book can be read by each One of us and can be divinely applied to every One of us, as well as it can be read by All of us, and can be divinely applied to All of us. The Qualified Life of Man was given one by one or one after another until all were given a Life in the Life of Man. The Trinity Man in the divine act of giving Life is consciously holding to the precisely known portion or quality of Life that a Qualified Life is required to have in order to be qualified for cause work; so in giving, is fully conscious of the giving, and gave Life for each Son. These Life-containing Qualities, namely, Beauty, Good, Honesty, Intelligence, Knowledge, Law, Light, Love, Mind, Power, Purity, Righteousness, Soul, Truth, Will and Wisdom, are in equal and precise quantities, perfectly united, and thus compose each one’s Life when it is given. Taking the Qualities alphabetically from Quality Beauty to Quality Wisdom, they all are, and ever since the giving of the Life were the ingredients in the Life. The Qualities are equally life-containing, and so each quality contributes evenly to the Life of the human man. Moreover, each Quality as an ingredient in the Life retains all the Life-content that belongs to it, just as Quality Honest, as an ingredient in the Life, retains all the Honesty it has in the Life, so that no other quality in the Life is, or could be, Quality Honesty. And Quality Purity, as a divine ingredient in the Life of man, retains all purity in the Life, and no other quality is, or could possibly be, Quality Purity in the Life of a man. Each Life-containing Quality which belongs to the Life and is in it as an ingredient, retains what belongs to it. So this explanation applies to all Life-containing qualities in the Life of man. The I Am, or the Life (of the human man) consists in an equal and precise quantity of quality from each Quality which is in reality life-containing and thus belongs to the Life as its Life-containing ingredients; but it is in the perfect unity and oneness of them that the Life is what it is. So how wondrously important is the perfect unity and oneness of the Life-containing Qualities, for in this perfect unity and oneness no one Quality can be dissociated from another. Therefore I cannot take one Quality by itself, independently, and say it is all there is to the Life of man, for no quality by itself could possibly be Life itself, or could be known as Life, or be given as Life. Thus, with this Truth revealed, it can be understood how no Quality by itself could alone be Life itself, and although it is sometimes said that Love alone is Life, yet Love alone, as taken by itself, is quite unable to be Life Itself. Love cannot be Life Itself, for it can accomplish nothing without all Qualities which are also in Life and are identical in life-content and in perfection with Love. All Qualities perfectly united are the Life. The Life-containing Qualities in oneness do all the work that is accomplished by the Life.
QUALITIES DIVINELY IDENTIFY THE SON OF MAN AS MORTAL BEING We rejoice in knowing that the Qualities which arc in one’s Life continually compose one’s Life. And in ascribing all Qualities of Life to Life, how wonderfully divine one’s Life is, and how complete and perfect It is. A precise quantity or portion of Life in the Whole Life of Man was given for the Life of each Son; and therefore, what the Life of the Giver is, the given Life is also. But the Life of the Giver is infinitely greater, for the given Life is but a little Life in the indivisible Whole Life Eternal of Man. So the given Life is composed of a little bit of quality of each Life-containing Quality, and in the perfect unity of these little bits of the Qualities is Life complete and perfect for the Son. Even the little bits of the Life-containing Qualities as they are in the Life of each Son are in precise amounts, and amounts which are identical in divine value and importance, and in perfect unity and oneness compose the Life of the human man.
THE LIFE OF MAN IS DIVINE AND ETERNAL The Life of me and the Life of every me is given in the Life of the Trinity Man, and when the Father gave the Life for each one, the Life as given was both Divine and Eternal and it could not be otherwise, because as the Life of the Giver is Divine and Eternal, the Given Life is also Divine and Eternal. Thus every Living Man lives now the Life that is Divine and Eternal, and We are only the Life that We are living where We are living. We are the Qualified or Given Life of Man, and all the while We are, the Life is both divine and eternal. But, We will only be the Qualified or Given Life while We are Acting Causes for the Trinity Man; and when any one of us is entirely finished with the work of acting as Cause, that one will merge. Therefore, We the Qualified or Given Life of Man will not be eternally, yet while We are, the Life of each one of us is divine, eternal, incorporeal and incorporeally-sided. I will say concerning Life Eternal of me, that it is because I live the Life that is divine and eternal, in oneness with the Divine Father Trinity Man, that I know how the Life of the Trinity Man is also the Life of me exactly. And what I know about Life Eternal as it is the Divine Life of myself, I know also about Life Divine of every human man. So I know divinely that the Life as Qualified is a Life that is exactly like the Life of me. And every man that lives, lives now the Life that is divine and eternal. Life Eternal of Man is so divinely beautiful that it cannot be fully described or explained through words. But again, in order that some little part of what is known of Life Eternal of Man may be revealed from the divine side, the Author, knowing the Life as it also is Divine, is sure of what it is even before the earnest pursuit of giving book information of what it is had started. In appreciation of what has already been revealed concerning Life Eternal on the pages of this book, we arc sure that Life is explainable; but, also aware that it takes Life itself to know and to explain about itself, what it is and what it does, even through mere words.
THE TRUTH OF THE DIVINE BEING When I say I know the truth about Life Divine, Its Unity, Its Consciousness, Its Heaven, and Its Divinity, then I really say I know it. And because the Life of me is divine and eternal, and because I now live the Life that is divine and eternal within the Life of Man, it is that the Life of me ever knows the truth about Life Divine, and thus is enabled to give this new revelation of the Truth of Being. This is the Truth of Divine Being, that the Qualified Life of Man is divine and eternal now, and is living safely in the Trinity Manfold now, so that the Fold of the Trinity Man is only perfect and complete with all Qualified Life in it as One! Also We are conscious of Life in the one Consciousness in oneness with Our Father and Heaven We enjoy in the one Heaven in oneness with Our Father. But the Father’s Consciousness of Life and of the Joys and Glories of Life is infinitely greater than ours. I am glad to give this explanation of what I know about Life Divine, as it also is eternal and incorporeally-sided; and I must reveal that We, The Qualified Life of the Trinity Man, are identically the same in Life and in Consciousness and in Heaven. Also We are identically the same in divinity as was the Life of Christ Jesus when it was a Qualified or Given Life of Man. How beautiful it is, and what Divine Joy and Bliss or Heaven it is, for I Am to know and be conscious that every man’s Life is both divine and eternal and lives now in the Life that is divine and eternal in Heaven.
CHAPTER V THE MANFOLD IS OUR HEAVENLY MANSION The Manfold may he called the Father’s house of many mansions! And how infinitely loving is the Father in this mansion, for it gave of its Living Life the Life of Sons. And from the giving of Life follow Divine Fatherhood, and Divine Sonship, and Divine Brotherhood. Therefore, We the Divine Sons are Brothers Divinely ! And as Brothers We live in the Manfold of manyfolds, or of many mansions, and We never leave this mansion wherein the Life of each one of us is a Living Part necessary to the completeness and perfectness of the entire mansion. The Truth that each Given Life is Living Part in the Whole Life of Man The Giver, explains that one cannot take the Life one has out of the Trinity Man Life, but one lives in the Trinity Manfold, and will never leave this Fold, neither can any one of us be exiled from this Fold iii which one’s Life is living part or belonging; so the Life of our Father is only complete and perfect with the Life of every one of us in it. We continue to live thus just where We are, and every one of us is known and accounted for by the Father as ever at home in the Father’s Fold, which accordingly is now, as heretofore it was and henceforth shall be complete with the Life of every one of us divinely in folded. We as Sons are equally loved by the Father, and no son is preferred above another. And We the Sons appreciate the Love of the Father for us and We know that this Love compares with the Love We have for our Father.
THE I AM IS WHAT IT IS AS A DIVINE SON In the heavenly mansion it is, and it was, in accordance with the Law of Life that We the Sons should have Life equally, be identical in Life, and be identical in consciousness, and also be identical in Heaven. It is from this, therefore, that We are equally conscious and equally enjoy Heaven. Moreover, We are equally powerful, equally perfect, equally divine equally omnipresent, equally omniscient, equally omnipotent, and equally conscious of our divine sonship with our Father and of our at-one-ment with our Father. Life is the within of man. What joy therefore, and how comforting it is to know that every Man has identical Life within, and that it is Life Divine of each Man, on the heavenly side, which is termed the “within” or inside Life, so that the within or inner side is the heavenly side wherein all Life has eternal home. Life Divine is the within of me, and I know it perfectly as it is, thus within, the within is the Manfold, on the heavenly side. Because I thus know the Life I have, I also know the Life of the Christ, and I know the Life of every Qualified Man, just as I know my Life. Also, I know the Life of the Father precisely in the degree to the amount of Life I have. Also I know the Life of the Universe and its Qualified Life precisely in the same degree to the amount of Life I have. Likewise, I know the Life of God precisely in the degree to the amount or to the power of the Life I have. The Life of God is infinitely Great! But because every Life Eternal is composed of the same Divine and Eternal Qualities, it is that We the Qualified Life of Man know God perfectly, yet this perfect knowledge that We all have of God is precisely in comparison to the knowledge We each have in Life. We all are conscious that We are equally qualified and that We have Knowledge in Life equally and that We know (equally well) the Life of God. This will help to explain to all readers that it is the Qualities in the Life of man which have power to know God; and with Qualities within Life equally, it is that We have equal power to know God. But as We have already explained, the Whole Life Eternal of God is infinitely Great. The Life of each one of us as a Qualified Life of Man is but a portion of Life. It is for this reason that all We can ever know about the Life of God is but as a portion of what the Life of God really is. Yet it is ever true, We all know, We have the same God as had the Life of Christ Jesus; and We also know that We are loved by God and also loved by all Life in Heaven, precisely as the Life of Christ was loved by All Life in Heaven. The Life of Christ Jesus finished its work and merged. But still in the Trinity Manfold We the Sons are, and We all as Sons continue to know the Life of Christ, for when it comes to us as Sons of man, We are in Qualities exactly like the Life of Christ Jesus when it was an incorporeal Son. So We have the same Heavenly Father that the Life of Christ had when it was incorporeal Son. We live the Life that is like the Life of Christ, within the Life of the Father. Thus We know equally well the Truth about our Heavenly Father. So, in the Manfold, which is the fold in which We as Sons live, actually We cannot but know one another; and know as well as the Life of Christ knew, the Truth of each Living Being. Our Father’s Life is such a Life Divine as this, that within it, We the Divine Sons live and have our being. Although We Sons are many, yet We ever live in the Father’s Fold, and here is but one Father of us all! And no one hath known the Father, as well as We the Sons know, and no one can be in the Father’s Fold with the Father except Us the Sons. So here is in the Whole Heaven no other Father besides the Holy Trinity Man, and here are no Sons in Heaven, but We the Divine Sons of the Trinity Man. And 0, how divine! Our Heavenly Father is Life, and indeed gave Life for Sons. And it is by means of our Father in Heaven that We have Life, and all that We have in Life We have received from Thee, Holy Father! Therefore, We thank Thee, Father, for Life and for Consciousness and for Heaven. I mean to show by this explanation that no Living Man is or could be outside of the Trinity Manfold; therefore, no Living Man is, or could be, outside of Heaven. But true it is, that the Trinity Manfold is Our Eternal Home; and We live in this Home now, and are equally loved and have Heaven equally. Thus the term “many mansions,” to which the Life of Christ referred, is but another term for the many folds in which the Father Trinity Man with Sons live and have being.
WITHIN THE FATHER’S LIFE
THE LIFE OF MAN IS NOW A ONEFOLD LIFE It is absolutely true in Life Eternal that the Life of Man lives and has being in the Life of each Qualified or Given Life. So We the Qualified Life within the Life of Man are so many Divine Beings, yet We arc One Being. In order to reveal the Truth as clearly as possible, I will proceed further to explain ho? it is that many beings can be but One Being, by explaining how many folds can be but one fold. If we liken the Whole Life of Man to a large fold, and if we liken the Life of each Qualified Man to a small fold, We see that we have one large fold and in a portion of this large fold we also have millions of small folds. For we have one small fold in the large fold, to each Qualified Life of Man, and with Life equally it is also, that every fold is equally full. We see now, ho? all the small folds are made in a portion of the material of the large fold and are together as one in such order that every small fold is a part of the large fold and therefore cannot he divided or removed from the large fold, but that the large fold and the small folds are one Fold. So the Trinity Life of man includes All Qualified or Given Life of man. And the Whole Life Eternal of Man is yet a One-Fold-Life. By this explanation is meant to reveal as clearly as possible how the Life of every Man has lived from eternity within this Living Being that We now call Trinity Man, in such divine order that it was One Being or a Onefold Life. But since the giving of Life to us, if We now liken the Life of each one of us to a Fold we say that the Life of Man continues through all Folds and is in all Folds, in such divine order that it is Life itself of every Fold. If we were able to count every Fold which is in the One Manfold, we would find that here are many millions of them, and that each Fold is the Life, the Qualified. Thus in the Trinity Manfold here arc innumerable small Folds, and every Fold is absolutely the same in contents, or in Life-Substance; therefore identical, yet the Life of the Father as here likened to a Large Fold knows the Folds from one another, or knows the Sons from one another. So the Life of Man, with all its qualified Life, is still the Whole Life of Man, which cannot be divided into many.
THE PARABLE OF THE SEAMLESS DRESS EXPLAINS THE UNITY AND ONENESS IN THE LIFE OF THE TRINITY MAN While we are appreciating the value of a Whole and of Eternal Oneness, we may have another explanation of the seamless dress. We have, first of all, a dress which is made of material that is in one piece; the material in the dress is woven together in such a way that it is all in one piece. But in order that this dress may be seamless throughout, all the goods belonging to it must be in it always. Now if we take this seamless dress and make folds in a part of it, many millions of them, we see that the material of which the folds are made is still in the dress; hence, the folds are Parts of the one-piece dress, or of the seamless dress, and when we have made all the folds that should be in the dress, it shows clearly that a part of the dress is made into many folds. Here it is well to be reminded that not one fold which has been made in the material of the dress could be removed or taken out of a one-piece or of a seamless dress, for then it could no longer be a seamless or one-piece dress. A fold, as a fold, made in the goods of the dress, is made to satisfy a special purpose, and when that purpose shall have been fulfilled each and every one of the folds can and will again be let loose into the main part of the dress, and the dress will still be in one piece or “seamless.” The material of which the folds were made remains unchanged throughout; so that when the folds have been let loose into the main part, behold! it is yet a one-piece dress, seamless and unchanged throughout. The preceding words explain the Wholeness, perfect unity or undividedness in the Life of Man. For the Life of Man is likened unto a whole dress without scam and wrinkle, and We the Qualified or Given Life are likened unto folds in the dress — folds which are equally full, or are of the same degree of depth.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A LIVING MAN TO BE OUTSIDE TIIE MANFOLD The one Life of Man is in the Life of every man. And we know this Truth of the Divine Being that We have Life with knowledge in it, so we know perfectly all there is to be known about Life Eternal of each one of us, and We know that We are ever loved by all life in Heaven. But nothing can equal the joy of knowing this Truth of the Divine Being, that one cannot take one’s Life Divine that one has in oneness with the Father out of the Father’s Fold, because the Life is living part in the Life of the Father as Giver. The Life of the Father is complete and perfect with all Given Life enfolded. We as .Sons know that We do not wish to take the Life We have in oneness with the Father out of the heavenly home wherein it is beautiful enough, good enough, honest enough, intelligent enough, knows enough, is lawful enough, has light enough, is loving enough, mindful enough, powerful enough, pure enough, righteous enough, soulful enough, truthful enough, has will enough, and is wise enough for the Heavenly Father that gave the Life. Moreover, every One knows that One cannot give the Life that one has in oneness with the Father to another or for another, for the Life is in the Life of the Father and belongs to this Life eternally as its Eternal Life possession, and whatsoever the Life of the Father possesses shall belong to it eternally, and not a minutest fragment is, or ever could he, added to it or withdrawn or sacrificed. We, the Living Sons of a Heavenly Father, know that We cannot take the Consciousness We have with Life away from Life, for the Life possesses the Consciousness. So Consciousness cannot be separated from Life. And as much as We have both Life and Consciousness in oneness with our Heavenly Father, it is that Consciousness like Life is entirely heavenly and heavenly-sided. Indeed the Happiness, Harmony, Joy, Peace, Bliss and Glory We enjoy with Life and Consciousness We also have in oneness with our Heavenly Father and therefore, cannot be given or taken out of Heaven for it all is in reality, what composes Heaven for Us, and this Heaven is, and eternally will be, entirely incorporeal and incorporeally-sided. We thank Thee, O Father, that in Life We are Thine; and Thou art ever with Us and all that We have is Thine; for Life We have in Thee, and Consciousness and Heaven We have in oneness with Thee.
IMMORTALITY IS FOR EVERY ONE
CHAPTER VI THE FATHER’S BUSINESS Life was given for Sons before the creation was. Thus, both Father and Son were before the creation was. It is really true that Life itself is and must be the worker, for if here is a work to be done, here must, in reality, be a Life present to do that work. Thus, work of every description is done, and can be done, only by the Life that possesses all Qualities and knows just what its work of art consists of. Life was given equally to each Son and surely, work was given over to us equally too; that is divinely true. Thus, every man has a work to do of similar importance; but however similar in importance is the work, only the worth or value of the work is recorded in Heaven to one’s account. We, the Living Sons of man, live and work in the Trinity Manfold; and here We are ever about our Father’s business. Some of the most important business that every one of us has to do for the Father is to maintain the created form man in space, in such well regulated order that all Qualities in one’s Life Divine shall be revealed from Heaven out to space. This is the Will of the Father; and the Will of the Father is and must be done by us as Sons. The Father’s business is a sacred trust of which each Son alike has been divinely given charge by the Father, to do an equal share. To conduct the Father’s business divinely and perfectly, We have right to do, and We will do, for the Father. We are equal partners in the Father’s business, and every one of us is a worker, and has a certain work to do; yes, a work that cannot be performed by another or accomplished by another. So only the work which one is supposed to do for the Father is of one’s concern. The only business we have the right to do for our Heavenly Father is Honest Business. And in Heaven We do all our work concerning the Father’s business precisely in harmony with what the Qualities in one’s Life require. We the Living Sons have all Qualities of Life within Life, from this it is that the Life of every one of us is honest enough, and is wise enough, has knowledge enough, to be just to the divine order of doing all work in accordance with what the divine Qualities within one’s Life require. This makes demands upon us to do our work just as well as the Life of Christ did its work. The Life of Christ did all its work concerning the Father’s business precisely in accordance with what the Qualities within the Life required and working was fully conscious of what it did. We do and must do likewise. We each have just as important work to do for the Father as the Life of Christ had when it was the incorporeal Son. Indeed, We cannot do otherwise, for the Life of every man is a combination of Qualities. Yes, Qualities which are changeless; and as the Qualities ore, so is the Life also; for the Qualities have complete control of the Life of man. So the Life of man is changeless; and because of this the work of man is changeless also. It is impossible for Us as Living Sons in Heaven to do anything but what is in accordance with Life-containing Qualities, and so honest and true; for each Quality in the Life of man in its own right works for the Quality. Thus Quality Honesty works in the Life of each man for what is Honest. Likewise, Quality Truth works in the Life of each man for what is Truth. Quality Intelligence works in the Life of each man for what is Intelligence. Quality Knowledge works in the Life of each man for what is Knowledge. Quality Law works in the Life of each man for what is Law. Quality Light works in the Life of each man for what is Light. Quality Love works in the Life of each man for what is Love. Quality Mind works in the Life of each man for what is Mind. Quality Power works in the Life of each man for what is Power. Quality Purity works in the Life of each man for what is Purity. Quality Soul works in the Life of each man for what is Soul. Quality Will works in the Life of each man for what is Will. Quality Wisdom works in the Life of each man for what is Wisdom. Quality Good works in the Life of each man for what is Good. Quality Beauty works in the Life of each man for what is Beauty. And it is easy for the Living Man to do right, for Quality Right or Righteousness works in the Life of each man for what is right. From what has now been explained, it is clear to all who read that as the Qualities participate evenly in the Life of man, so also do They participate evenly in the works of man. We live within the Manfold where We are on constant duty, and here We do all our work while We are fully conscious of what We do, or We do our work by conscious realization. Thus We travel nowhere in order to do the important work which the Father has qualified us to do. For as We do our work by Consciousness or by conscious realization, it is from this therefore that We are ever about our Father’s business right where We are, and by doing our cause work in accordance with the way our Father knows and wills that We should do it, We are enabled to reveal Life in Heaven as omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient, from Heaven out to space. Through our work then, We the Living Sons are ever about doing the Father’s business; and all that We have ever done since the giving of Life to us is to accomplish something great that is, and must be, accomplished by us. Also, it is absolutely true that what our Heavenly Father intended to accomplish by each one of us will still be accomplished. It is divinely beautiful to know how I Am, and the I Am of every human man, can so well manage to be ever about the Father’s business in peace and harmony, and thus do all work precisely in accordance with what the Qualities within Life demand. So We the Living Sons cannot but do the appointed work regarding the Father’s business as well as the Life of Christ did its work. Moreover it is perfectly clear to all who read this book that every man’s Life is filled with Qualities which are divine; that the within Life of man is ever divine and beautiful; that the Life was given each man by the Heavenly Father for the purpose of revelation; that the chief purpose of every man’s work concerning the Father’s Business really is to be found in doing the work which We do so that what We do is done in harmony with one’s Qualities — yes, in harmony with the Life-containing Qualities which are right within every man’s Life and are Man’s Life. From this therefore it is that We are enabled to reveal the Life of us, yes, the Life that lives and is the I Am of each of us. So Life Divine of each of us by so doing, is also as well revealing the Living Father and Living Life as a Whole. All this doing by the Divine Self of each of us is in accordance with what We know as Father’s Will. And We have Peace, Bliss and Glory because We do all our work in accordance with what We know is the Father’s Will Divine. And All Life Eternal has Peace, Bliss and Glory because We do so. In the Manfold wherein I am a Son along with Sons, I know the Father, and I know that it is Father’s will that I should write words which reveal the Truth about Life Eternal in Heaven. So what the Father wills I should write, that will I write; nothing will I withhold. Yet all that I know can only be known, and cannot be fully revealed or explained through words, or by marks, signs or figures. So, what I am able to reveal through words is merely a fragment compared to what I really know of the Truth about Life in Heaven. But this fragment of Known Truth, as revealed, will be all-sufficient now, for it will satisfy the demands for real information concerning Life in Heaven, what it is, and what it does. And a constant effort is made by the Author to reveal, from the heavenly side out to space, Known Truth in as comprehensible words as possible. I rejoice in doing according to Thy Will, O Father! And All Life in Heaven has one Will, and divinely rejoices with I Am because I do according to Father’s Will; for when I do according to what is the Father’s Will, I also do according to what is the Will of All Life in Heaven! Now it is plain that it is the Father’s Life abiding in the I Am of me that does the work, and interprets Life in Heaven in this divine order through I Am as a Real Son. Then give to the Life of the Father, the Glory and the Honor everlastingly due it.
ALL
THE WORK OUR FATHER HAS GIVEN US TO DO, WE WILL DO TO THE FINISH Now We have the same kind and the same amount of work to do as had the Life of Christ when its was Son the Divine. We all as Sons know the marvelous accommodations of, and means to, accomplish our work which promises reward at the finish; and moreover, We know the methods by which We are able to do our work in harmony with the Father’s will. Thus the work which the Father has given each one of us to do, We will do to the finish; for this is the agreement between our Heavenly Father and every one of us as Sons. Surely, this makes demands upon us to do the same amount of work as did the Life of Christ. The Life of Christ said, “Greater works than I do shall ye do.” This means that each one of us, as a Son, must do one’s work to the finish; that is all; and in order to be finished, one must do precisely as much valuable work as the Life of Christ Jesus did, but no more. For when one’s work is of precise worth with the work which the Life of Christ Jesus (lid, then one is entirely finished with working. In order to do our great work to the finish as our Heavenly Father would have us to do it, We must be workers and masters of the work. We live within the Trinity Manfold, and here We are fully conscious of Life, and because We are thus conscious We do all our work; and We have equality of opportunity in doing it, and indeed, We do all our work within the Trinity Manfold for the purpose of revelation. And in the Manfold, which is the Fold of Divine Brotherliness and Divine Comradeship, We rejoice divinely in one another’s success. Also, We the Sons are like the Father in this, that We foreknow the completion of our most perfect work. So to finish the work which the Father gave each one to do is the ambition of every Son; and having achieved We will continually achieve until the work is finished. I say finished, and that is, “‘hen one shall have finished all the work so that at the completion of the work one can say, like the Life of Jesus Christ, “I have finished the work which Thou gayest I Am to do. And now, O Father, glorify Thou I Am with Thine own self with the glory which I had with Thee before the creation was.” So it shows by this how the Life we call Son when it is entirely finished with all work pertaining to the Father’s Business, is immediately rewarded by the Father.
THE SON OF MAN
CHAPTER VII THE
LIFE OF ALL SONS IS COMPOSED OF IDENTICAL QUALITIES, A Quality in Life has, and must have, identity. Each Quality has its own identity, and all Qualities in Unity include all identities of the Living Son. In Life eternal, every one knows that each Qualified Life of Man is a Son of Man, and the Life- containing Qualities in which Life consists, divinely identify the Son of Man as Immortal Being. So by Qualities We know and identify the Son of Man; and all Life in Heaven is, and must be, identified by the same qualities. Life has its own immortal mode of identifying itself. And here, in the Trinity Manfold, wherein We the Sons are Portion Beings, every one retains one’s divine identity and is ever identical with oneself. This means that the Life, entitled Incorporeal Son, is known to remain constantly exactly what it is in its Divine Being, and just where it is in the Trinity Manfold. Our Father, Divine, that gave the Sons identical Life, is eternally in its Life or in its Holy Manfold wherein We the Sons also are, and here the Father knows the Sons from one another as a Divine Self with Divine identity. The Life of Us — as Sons — is identical or absolutely the same. Therefore, in Life Divine We all know that the identity of All Sons is absolutely the same. I shall first explain what I mean by the identity of my Life, for by so doing I am also explaining the identity of Every Living Being. The Life of me, ever since it was given, is Living Being; and how beautiful it is for Living Being to explain identities of Living Beings, through the channel afforded by language.
THROUGH QUALITIES I REVEAL THE I AM IDENTITY I know divinely, that the Life of me consists in Life-containing Qualities, and it is in the perfect unity and oneness of them that the Life is a living being with real identity. I know these Qualities in the Life of me, and I know that each quality has its own identity by which it identifies itself in the Life of me, to me. Each Quality is life-containing in the Life of me, and ever retains its divine substance or essence, and so identifies itself in the Life of me. As Quality Honesty in the Life of me constantly retains its own divine substance or essence, it identifies itself as Quality Honesty in the Life of me. This means that Quality Honesty is ever honesty and so retains its own divine identity, and no other Quality could possibly be Quality Honesty in the Life of me. Thus, each Quality, from Beauty to Wisdom, retains its divine identity in the Life, and all Qualities include all identities of my Life. And I Am, is identified as Life or as a Living Being because of these Qualities in my Life, and the identity of my Life is due only to these Qualities. Now I have identified the I Am with Living Life as divine and eternal; so that this Life Divine or the I Am of me as known thus is also known by the Trinity Man and by all Life in Heaven. Being known in Life Divine, is what is meant by being identified as Life, divinely and incorporeally. In Life Divine, I both know and am conscious of my Life that has power to will and to do, regarding what it means by being the Author of these words of explanation or revelation about Life Eternal and its divine identity, as it is known on the incorporeal side. The Heavenly Father, that gave the Life I have, also gave the right to retain the Life with the divine identity, while I am an incorporeal Son. Thus, no other Son within the entire Manfold in the kingdom of Heaven could be known or identified as the Author of this book. So, with regard to I Am, I can say that through the giving of Life this I Am of me is divinely and incorporeally identified. I am, therefore, ever known as one with the Trinity Man that gave the Life and is the Heavenly. Father. I live in Thee, O Father, now, and We are one in Life, one in Consciousness, and one in Harmony, Happiness, Peace, Bliss and Glory. And what I know about Life Divine of me, and identify, I know the same is true for every Qualified Man. Now we have been given the answer to the question how we shall identify the Life that is divine and eternal in man.
DIVINE IDENTITY OF LIFE ETERNAL IS CONSCIOUSNESS As I am conscious of Life, so am I also conscious of identity. So true it is that for the I Am identity is Consciousness; and what identity is for the I Am of me, it is also the same for the I Am of each human man. So divine identity is Consciousness for every Living Man and for All Life in Heaven. (In Heaven We all know this Truth of the Divine Being.)
EXPLANATION OF LIFE ETERNAL CONSCIOUSNESS Consciousness is whole, and all Life Eternal is conscious in the one Consciousness. Thus, All Life Eternal possesses the same Consciousness. The one Life Eternal possesses a Consciousness of it own, and only the Consciousness that the one Life Eternal possesses is Consciousness. This Consciousness is in one whole and is divine, eternal, changeless, indivisible, incorporeal and incorporeally-sided eternally. This means that the whole of Life Eternal will continue to have its Consciousness whole, eternally. The One Consciousness is whole and is as eternal as is the one Life Eternal. So, Consciousness is like Life in this, that it is whole, and also is divine and eternal. Because Consciousness is in one whole eternally, it is true that this Consciousness is the Consciousness for All Life Eternal on the heavenly or incorporeal side.
THE
ONE CONSCIOUSNESS IS A CONSCIOUSNESS FOR EVERY ONE Life Eternal ever identifies itself with Consciousness; for where Life Eternal is, Consciousness is also. And Life is right with Consciousness, so Consciousness is ever abiding with Life, and Consciousness is but as an acknowledgment that Life is omnipresent. The Three Divine Beings have Life equally in the One Life. It is from this also that the abiding Consciousness, which the One Life Eternal possesses, is in equal degree the Consciousness for the Life of the Three. So the One Consciousness that the One Life Eternal possesses is the Consciousness for the Life we call God, and for the Life we call Universe, and for the Life we call Man, equally. The Three Divine Beings are equally conscious of Life, and this is what is meant by Consciousness, yes, a Consciousness that is divinely real and identically the same for the Divine Three. Life Eternal is with its Consciousness, in such divine order that Life is ever Conscious, for Life possesses Consciousness. But Consciousness is not constituted by Life; for Life’s Consciousness is as eternal as is Life itself, and Consciousness is but an acknowledgment by Life that Life is also exactly with its Consciousness, for Life and its Consciousness are undivided, so that the inseparability of Life and its Consciousness is an eternal reality forever.
BECAUSE LIFE IS AND MUST BE CONSCIOUS, CONSCIOUSNESS IS Life for every Son of Man is a gift. Likewise, Consciousness is a gift. When Life was given for I Am by the Heavenly Father, it was divine and eternal and it was conscious; and what the Life was when it was given it is now. For because the Life is divine and eternal and conscious it is from this therefore that it is ever the same. I was given a Conscious Life, therefore I am ever conscious of Life; for Life and Consciousness belong together and cannot be separated. The Life is identically the same for Alt Sons; it is from this that each one’s Consciousness is identically the same also. And Consciousness is ever abiding with the Life, and is a full acknowledgment of Life’s presence. So it is because We possess Life equally that We also are equally conscious. For as Life is, so is Consciousness also for each precisely in accordance with what it should be. We as Sons have Consciousness in oneness with our Father, and in oneness with one another, and in oneness with All Life Eternal on the incorporeal side. From what has now been explained it is clear that each Life Eternal is conscious in the One Consciousness and yet the One Consciousness is in one whole, and is indivisible and undivided eternally.
UNITY AS ONENESS IS CONSCIOUSNESS FOR LIFE ETERNAL In Life Eternal We all know that perfect unity and oneness exist in Life Eternal. I rejoice in knowing the Truth about the perfect unity and oneness of Life Eternal; and although the I Am knowledge of the perfect unity and oneness in Life is infinitely greater than is the power to explain it, yet in order to please the Heavenly Father, I shall explain the perfect unity of Life Eternal to the best of ability. Unity of Life Eternal is as eternal as is Life Eternal. We have explained already that the entire Whole Life or the All-in-All Life Eternal is one. And that the one Life is in equal degree the Life of God, the Life of the Universe, and the Life of Man. Yet the Whole of Life Eternal is One. From this it is therefore perfectly clear to all readers that the Life of God, the Life of the Universe and the Life of Man live and can only live in perfect unity in the one Life Eternal. It could not be otherwise, for the Life of Three in One explains the perfect unity existent among the Divine Three. With this explanation before us that the Life of Three Divine Beings is in the one Life Eternal as Three, and yet the entire Life Eternal is one, it is understood that the Life of Three Divine Beings is so perfectly united that it is the Three-in-One or the Threefold Life. Thus, the Threefold Life denotes but One Life. Fortunately, the Trinity God does not live alone, but both the Trinity Universe and the Trinity Man live coexistent with God as a Threefold Life Eternal. This guarantees the absolute unity and oneness in Life Eternal. The I Am of me, the I Am of each me, lives now a perfectly united Life within Life Eternal of Man. For We are where We live, and where We live We are also united. Perfect unity is exactly where Life is, and Life is on the Heavenly or incorporeal side; thus, perfect unity is entirely heavenly or incorporeally sided.
DIVINITY IS CONSCIOUSNESS FOR ALL LIFE ETERNAL Divinity is not Life but Consciousness. Each Life Eternal is divine, and because of this each Life is also conscious of divinity continuously. For each Qualified Life in Heaven, Divinity is Consciousness. So Divinity is because Life is divine; and only in Life Divine are We conscious of divinity. We, the Qualified Life of Man, are identical in Life Divine; therefore, divinity is also identical for all of us. It is because We all are each alike conscious of the Life we have, that We are conscious of real divinity; and divinity is to us like the Bliss of Heaven. And what divinity is for us, it is also the same for All Life in Heaven. So indeed, We have Consciousness because We have Life, and We have Heaven because We are conscious of Life. (The following chapter will be reserved for the explanation of the Truth about Heaven. I shall also explain the meaning of the word Kingdom as used in connection with Heaven.)
HEAVEN AS IT IS IN REALITY Here is One Life Eternal, One Consciousness and One Heaven, on the incorporeal side. And the One Life, with its Consciousness, is right with Heaven on the incorporeal side. Heaven is Bliss, Glory, Happiness, Harmony, Joy, Peace. All these divine enjoyments are the same in divine value and perfectly united; they constitute Heaven. Thus they contribute evenly to the boundless Whole Heaven on the incorporeal side. Heaven is absolutely one and is like both Life and Consciousness in this, that it is whole and eternal, changeless, undivided, indivisible, incorporeal and incorporeally sided eternally. In the one Life Eternal, the Life of God, the Life of the Universe, and the Life of Man live, and They are One. In the One Consciousness the Life of God, the Life of the Universe and the Life of Man are conscious. In the One Heaven, the Life of God, the Life of the Universe and the Life of Man have Bliss, Glory, Happiness, Harmony, Joy, Peace, all divine, eternally.
HEAVEN IS ENJOYED EQUALLY BY THE DIVINE THREE Life is identically the same for All Three Divine Beings; Consciousness is also identically the same for the Divine Three. The immediate Bliss, Glory, Happiness, Harmony, Joy and Peace, that is, from being conscious of Life, is what is Heaven in full for the Divine Three. For true it is that The Divine Three have equal Life, and arc equally conscious in the one Consciousness, and equally enjoy Heaven. True, also, it is, that for the Divine Three, Bliss is equal, Glory is equal, Happiness is equal, Harmony is equal, Glory is equal. Peace is equal. What more particularly does it mean to have Heaven equally, but that the Whole Heaven is shared or enjoyed equally, by the Divine Three. Thus Heaven is the Eternal Home of all eternal enjoyments for conscious Life, and like Consciousness, Heaven is eternal, and equally real, to the Divine Three.
HEAVEN IS IN ONE WHOLE AND ALL LIFE ETERNAL SHARES THE ONE HEAVEN Life Eternal is one: Its Consciousness is one: and Its Heaven is one. We have explained already that each Life Eternal lives a Conscious Life on the heavenly or incorporeal side. And this means also that each Qualified Life of man is ever conscious of Life, and is also ever conscious of the divinity of Life, and from this are derived all the heavenly enjoyments which are thus called Heaven. Heaven is filled with Bliss, Glory, Happiness, Harmony, Joy and Peace. Thus, these Heavenly enjoyments we may term Divine Ingredients in Heaven and in perfect unity and oneness they compose Heaven. Bliss as an ingredient in Heaven is in one quantity or amount; Glory as an ingredient in Heaven is in one quantity or amount; Happiness as an ingredient in Heaven is in one quantity Or amount; Joy as an ingredient in Heaven is in one quantity or amount; Peace as an ingredient in Heaven is in one quantity or amount. These quantities or amounts are wholly incorporeal, yet they are identically the same in divine value, and thus contribute evenly to Heaven and in perfect unity compose Heaven. So Heaven is the Eternal Home for All Divine Bliss, All Divine Glory, All Divine Happiness, All Divine Harmony, All Divine Joy and All Divine Peace of Life Eternal. Accordingly, it is not possible for the I Am of us to have only Happiness, Harmony and Joy in Heaven for our Heaven, but that We also have Peace, Bliss and Glory in Heaven and all perfectly united is what is Our Heaven. Heaven is one whole eternally, and is undivided and indivisible. This Heaven is the only Heaven We have on the heavenly side. Real heavenly Joys and Glories are realities of Life Eternal, and being realities They are eternal, and all this that is eternal is also real, changeless, unending, indivisible, incorporeal and incorporeally sided eternally.
HEAVEN IS A CONSCIOUS REALITY FOR ALL LIFE ETERNAL Where Life is, there is Consciousness and heaven; for Heaven is with Conscious Life continuously. And each Life Eternal has exactly as much of Heaven as it is able to enjoy. We the Qualified Life of Man have equal Life, and with equal Life each, it is that We also have equal Consciousness and equal Heaven. So each Life Divine is conscious of Life and the Bliss, Happiness, harmony, joy, Peace and Glory We have from this is all the Heaven here is for Us on the heavenly side. For each Living Man, Heaven is full of Peace, Happiness, Harmony, Bliss, joy and Glory. Therefore, no more joys and glories can ever be added to this Heaven that each Living Man now has on the heavenly side. Neither can any joys and glories be withdrawn from this Heaven of ours, for it is complete and perfect, changeless and indivisible for — Us All — constantly. Both Consciousness and Heaven are identically the same for each Qualified Life of Man. Surely this is divinely true, and none can have any more of Heaven than the other, for every Qualified Life of Man has just as much of Heaven as it is able to enjoy.
HEAVEN IS REAL AND ETERNAL FOR ALL LIFE ETERNAL Here is only one Heaven on the incorporeal side and this Heaven is a Heaven for every one and every one’s Heaven is eternal. Concerning the I Am of me I can say that I am conscious of the Life I have, and this is the Real Joy, Peace, Bliss, Happiness, Harmony and Glory or Heaven in full for I Am. Nothing less than to be fully conscious of the Life I have is, or could be, Heaven in full for I Am of me. I must be fully conscious of Life Divine to fully enjoy Divine Peace, Divine Happiness, Divine Harmony, Divine Bliss, Divine Joy and Divine Glory that are here in Heaven for I Am to enjoy. Because I am constantly fully conscious of the Life I have, I am also constantly enjoying heaven in full. And Heaven is identically the same for all Qualified Life of the Trinity Man. Therefore, all that Heaven includes is the same for All of us. Whether We say We have Peace, Happiness, Harmony, Bliss, Joy and Glory, or whether We say We have Heaven, it means the same. Be it said here then, that this explanation of Heaven is applicable to every Qualified Life, for We All live on the incorporeal side constantly, and are divinely conscious of Life Divine, and enjoy all that Heaven includes for us. Thus, We have a Heaven in the Heaven of the Whole, and Heaven is complete and perfect in Joy, Happiness, Harmony, Peace, Bliss and Glory because We All enjoy it.
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AN ETERNAL KINGDOM When we add the word Kingdom to Heaven, and use the two words together, they seem but two big words. But the words, as words, are different, and their inner meaning is different also. The real meaning of Heaven is Harmony, Happiness, Peace, Bliss, Joy and Glory, or Divine Enjoyments. The real meaning of Kingdom is ownership or possession of all Divine Enjoyments that the entire Heaven includes. Both Consciousness and Heaven belong entirely to Life Eternal, and are its own everlasting possessions. This Kingdom of Heaven of which the Author is writing is the same Kingdom of Heaven about which the Life of Christ Jesus was teaching the people when it said “The Kingdom of God cometh not with observation, neither shall they say, ‘lo here!’ or, ‘lo there!’ for, behold the Kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:20, 21) The Life of Christ Jesus seems to have used the term Kingdom of God. If it did use this term it was merely for the divine purpose of satisfying the demands of the people for such a term. The Life of Christ Jesus knew divinely that here is no Kingdom of God on the heavenly or incorporeal side, and may have used the term Kingdom of Good as this would have been a better term, for all that Heaven includes for Life could be called good. Yet, it would not be entirely correct to us the term Kingdom of Good, for Good is a Life-containing Quality in the One Life Eternal; and Good as a Quality is in each Life Eternal, and Heaven is the Bliss, Glory, Happiness, Harmony, Joy and Peace for each Life Eternal. It is absolutely true in Heaven that the Life of God is one, and as one, would not, or could not, have all that Heaven includes for itself or to itself. It has been clearly revealed through this book that we have only one Life Eternal, only one Consciousness and only one Heaven on the heavenly or incorporeal side. In the one Life Eternal, All Life lives; in the one Consciousness, All Life is conscious; and in the one Heaven, All Life has Bliss, Glory, Happiness, Harmony. Joy and Peace eternally. The Trinity Man since the giving of Life for the I Am of us is a manyfold Life. And all that Heaven includes for the Trinity Man is enjoyed in the one Heaven. So concerning the Kingdom of Heaven on the incorporeal side, I will reveal that every Life Divine, in oneness with God, enjoys the one Kingdom of Heaven. In Matthew 13:24, the Life of Christ Jesus used the term Kingdom of Heaven when it said, “The Kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in the field.” In this reference concerning Heaven the Life of Christ used the term Kingdom of Heaven, and this is the correct term. It may be that the translators of the Bible word renamed the Kingdom of Heaven to be called the Kingdom of Goad because the entire goodness is in Life Eternal. But it is not of such great importance by what name this Heaven is called, for when we write or speak about Heaven, it is true that it is the same eternal enjoyments that We are attempting to reveal or explain. I rejoice in knowing that the Joy, Peace, Bliss, Happiness, Harmony and Glory I enjoy come from the Consciousness of Life Divine, and this is the Kingdom of Heaven in full for the I Am of me; and what I know about the Heaven I have, I know the same is also true for every Living Man. Knowing that the terms Kingdom of Heaven and Heaven are correct, I have used these terms and I will continue to do so. Thus shall I explain, in a small degree, a part of what I know the Life of Christ Jesus must have meant when it said “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” The Life of Christ Jesus was ever conscious of Life Divine that it had in oneness with the Father Trinity Man, on the incorporeal side, and because of being thus conscious enjoyed in full all the Peace, Happiness, Harmony, Bliss, Joy and Glory that is in Heaven for a Man to enjoy. This was “the Kingdom of Heaven within” for the Life of Christ Jesus. The Life of Christ Jesus knew also, that Life Divine of every man was just like its own and enjoyed the Kingdom of Heaven exactly like its own. This explanation reveals to us that what the Life of Christ Jesus knew as true about its Life Divine, its unity with the Father, its Consciousness, its Divinity, its Heaven, it knew also as true for every Qualified Man. The Life of Christ Jesus knew the Life of Man, and knew where it is; and knew also what Consciousness is for Man and where it is; and what Heaven is for Man and where it is. Because of this knowledge, the Life of Christ Jesus told the people who congregated and waited for the word of revealed truth, that Bliss, Happiness, Harmony, Peace, Joy and Glory were their I Am’s possession in Heaven when it said “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” The term “Kingdom of Heaven is within you” as here used by the Life of Christ Jesus refers to the Life of Man. Yes, the Life that lives Within or Heavenly-sided and here is conscious and enjoys Heaven continuously. The Divine Life of me and the Divine Life of each human man is conscious and enjoys Heaven in full on the heavenly or incorporeal side. We the Divine Sons of the Trinity Man are conscious of Life and We also enjoy Heaven in full on the heavenly side. Although this Heaven is enjoyed by All Life Eternal, yet the Whole Heaven is one unchanging and unending reality eternally.
DIVINE THANKSGIVING We thank Thee, Holy Father, that Life We have in Thee and Consciousness and Heaven We have in oneness with Thee. Knowing that from Thee, O Holy Father, We have Divine Qualities, We Thy Sons know that We are like Thee in Qualities. And We rejoice divinely, in knowing this Truth that We have Beauty, Good, Honesty, Intelligence, Knowledge, Law, Light, Love, Mind, Power, Purity, Righteousness, Soul, Truth, Will and Wisdom in Thee, O Father, so that the Qualities We have for Life are the same as Thine, only that Thou art infinitely greater in them. As much as the Life is in Quality, it is that the Life is all this that the Qualities in perfect unity include; and it is only possible for the I Am to know the Life through the Life-containing Qualities. We know, and We are conscious that We have a precisely powerful Life; and now that We are really conscious of Life, it is that this is the real Joy, Peace, Bliss and Glory — or Our Heaven. We know and We are conscious that the Life or the I Am is harmoniously united in the Life of the Father, and Father and We arc one, or We are inseparable, and We enjoy the same Consciousness and Heaven together. Thus, We have the Harmony, Happiness, Joy, Peace, Bliss, and Glory in Life Eternal in oneness with Our Heavenly Father, the Holy Trinity Man. It is a Truth in the Divine Being that oneness is as eternal as is Life itself, and oneness must be taken into consideration regarding Life Eternal. The Life We live now is the Trinity Man Life, and it is eternal. Therefore it had no beginning, so here can be no end to the Life We live. Even when We have finished the work which We have to do for the Heavenly Father, and merged, yet the Life lives within the Whole Life of Man, not as living part, but as merged with the Whole Life of Man. So, the Whole Life of Man includes also the Life of each Son throughout eternity. We are one in the Whole Life of Man and here is unity and oneness between the heavenly Father and the I Am, of us, and this brings sweet assurance of immortality.
SUMMARY The Author, in concluding this book, will give a short summary regarding some leading subjects in this revealed truth about Life Eternal And Its Work, and through this summary will take advantage of another opportunity to say something more about Life Eternal in Heaven. First, it is revealed through this work that Life is one; Consciousness is one; Heaven is one; Unity is one; and Divinity is one. Second, it is revealed that the Whole Life Eternal from eternity is a Threefold Life, and that the Living God, the Living Universe and the Living Man from eternity abode as the Threefold Life. Also, that the Three Divine Beings thus possess Life equally, are equally conscious in the one Consciousness and equally enjoy Heaven. Third, it is revealed that the Living God, the Living Universe and the Living Man, in perfect unity, are The Holy Trinity. That Holy Trinity means perfect Unity and Oneness. The fourth section, which is about the Living Universe and its Qualification of Causes, is left out. Even all that followed in line of the fourth section throughout the book is left out. All in all, it is left out for the reason that I must publish the book in two books. So this First Book is only a part of the large book which I first submitted to the publishers in January, 1936. Fifth, it is revealed that the Trinity Man within its Own Life gave Life for Sons, so as to have Living Beings for acting causes; that We were given Life thus equally, so that We should live also and be absolutely identical in Life, and be identical both in Consciousness and in Heaven. The Qualification was achieved before the creation was. So we as Sons and acting causes for the Trinity Man were before the creation was; even We were ready to take up duty at the creation. For at the creation the Trinity Man made Us acting causes over the maintenance of the created form man in space. We the Divine Sons ever since the giving of Life to us are equally conscious of sonship with the Father and moreover are conscious that We are Living Members in the Family Fold of Man. So We rejoice equally continuously, because We know too that the Family Fold of Man is complete and perfect with all Life of Man, in the One Family Fold of Man. We all, as Divine Sons in Heaven ever since We were given Life, have known ourselves thus, and We are conscious and rejoice divinely continuously. With regard to myself I can say that I know that the Life of me is one among the Living Members in this incorporeal Family Fold of Man. I know, too, that this Family Fold of Man is only complete and perfect because I am also in it as a Holy Member; and in this I rejoice divinely continuously. The questions: “What is the Life of God?” “What is the Life of the Universe?” “What is the Life of Man?” “What is Consciousness?” “What is Heaven?” are all scientifically answered in this book entitled “Life Eternal and Its Work.” It is from this perfectly clear to all Readers that the Author of the answers really is and must be a conscious Life or conscious Living Being that lives among Life Eternal and also enjoys Heaven. The Reader can be satisfied and rejoice in the presence of positive proof that the words found written on the pages of this book bring positive, comforting answer to the above oft-asked questions. Thus, what has hitherto been called a mystery about Life Eternal and about Consciousness and about Heaven is dispelled.
THE ART OF REVEALING Life Divine knows. It makes no discoveries, but It interprets, explains, reveals, so all that really is interpreted, explained and revealed about Life Divine comes to the people from a Life Divine. Life Divine of a human man is also the I Am of that human man as it lives in the Father’s Fold in eternity; and from here it explains and reveals about itself. It even explains and reveals about All Life to the human personality through important activities. Some of these most important activities are: Acting Cause, Savior. The I Am (of each human man) as Acting Cause and also as Savior, is conscious of being perfect Acting Cause and perfect Savior; and therefore continuously achieves both the cause work and the saving work with perfect ease. (The preceding explanation applies to the I Am of every human man.) Besides the cause work and saving work which the I Am has to do, the I Am of some of us has special activities to perform for the Heavenly Father. Some of these special activities may here be mentioned: Author, Revelator, Printer, Publisher, Reader, Teacher, Speaker, and so on. Life Divine invented the word, and because of this great invention all these special activities of the I Am (of a human man) have come to be. The I Am identifies Itself to the human form man as the man of good activities, and one can at first recognize the I Am (of a human man) through activities. To reveal the Truth of Being is a holy work and a good activity in which I have assurance of Immortality, Divine Peace and Bliss. Life was given for I Am, to be lived for the incorporeal purpose of revealing Life Eternal from the heavenly side, out to the multitudes of people in space who are patiently watching and waiting for the word of revealed truth which has the answers to the manifold questions concerning Life Eternal and its work. So Life Divine of me is also the I Am of me, as I live in the Father’s Fold in eternity, and from here I explain and reveal about the Life of the human man, even about all Life Eternal, through writing this book. It was the year of 1934 when I completed the First Book entitled Life Eternal And Its Work. I say completed — when I again made every effort to clarify the revelation and explanation. In the process the explanation about Life Eternal and Its Work had improved as far as the expression is concerned. But it was not until January 1936 that the First Book entitled Life Eternal and Its Work in manuscript form first made its bow before a book publisher. The 1936 book manuscript was submitted again to the publishers in January, 1937. The book manuscript of 1937, with a few improvements in the explanation about Life Eternal, and with an addition to the summary, is the same in content as the 1936 one. But the publishers on the other hand were not going to accept such new and true revelation of Life Eternal. The publication of this book had to be postponed time after time, and, too, in addition to this, I was at the end of my financial resources. It is the I Am of me that identifies itself as the Author and Writer of this book. I Am a conscious Life, and a conscious Life is ever composed of Life- containing Qualities. It really takes all Qualities of the I Am to write these words which are written in this book. From this therefore it is easy to understand that the Qualities are the I Am and author is an activity of the I AM. So Author is a title for the I Am in this special activity of being Author of this revealed truth as found written in this book. Also the I Am is Revelator of the Truth about Life Eternal through the word. Revelator is also a title for the I Am in this special activity of revealing the truth.
REVEALED TRUTH Eternal Truth does not come into space. But through revealed truth I am enabled to give enlightenment about what the Eternal Truth is. And is not a little bit of the entire Life Eternal both explained and revealed through these words as found written in this book? I say a little bit, because I know that what can be revealed about Life Eternal through the written or spoken word is but as a little bit of the entire Truth. Yet when through a little bit of revealed truth the entire Truth about Life Eternal is revealed, then I am satisfied. Each little hit of revealed truth is for enlightenment on the immortality of Life. And as enlightenment on immortality of the Life of each of us concerns us most, it is therefore for this enlightenment mankind has ever been searching. I rank the word, written in this book, in accordance with the Truth of Being as revealed truth, and the more clearly the Truth is revealed, the more quickly can one recognize it as tree. Also from Quality Light, in one’s Life, a brightness is shining forth with such radiance that it illumines these written words of explanation about Life Eternal And Its Work, with continuous enlightenments on the Beauty of Real Life, and on the divinity of Real Life, and on the incorporeally sidedness of Real Life. Thus, through this revealed truth written in this book about Life Eternal And Its Work, mankind receives trustworthy information which is meant to be always beneficial, always encouraging and always waiting to bring comfort, satisfaction and the sweet assurance of immortality of Life to millions of people. This revealed truth written in this book brings the sweet assurance that the Life for every man is immortal; yet there is no Life and power in this word to give immediate knowledge of immortality, so as to be saved from the false belief that the Life lives in form. The Life of each human man is immortal now, and already knows all there is to be known about the immortality of Life. Indeed, the Life will explain and reveal the Truth about itself divinely and clearly in the most interesting manner when people are ready and prepared to accept it and also prepared to be guided by it to perfect freedom and liberty. This new and true revelation about Life Eternal And Its Work, given by the author in 1937, is for all people and for all time to all generations. Even the value to the people of this new and true revelation of Life Eternal may soon be fully appreciated and whatever appreciation it gets is for Divine Glory. We all must accept revealed truth on the word at first; the Real Truth is known in Life Eternal; and Life Eternal of you shall reveal Itself to you as Savior and shall make you free. Indeed these explanations or revelations of are to the I Am of me like songs of joyful praises and they are so because of the thanksgiving I give to the Heavenly Father for Life Divine and for Consciousness and for the Harmony, Happiness, Peace, Bliss, Joy and Glories of Heaven. The Life I have is from the Heavenly Father that gave it, so even though the responsibility of revealing the Truth is I Am’s, yet the I Am, by which the responsibility of revealing is discharged is the Father’s. Because I know this Truth of the Divine Being, I attribute no glory or honor whatever to I Am for what I write. But, all glory and honor on account of what I do belong to the Heavenly Father. Therefore, Dear Reader, regard with reverence this revealed truth about Life Eternal and its work. Also give thanks to the Heavenly Father and to All Life Eternal, for the act of being thankful is blessed. I am a Divine Son of the Trinity Man! And what I do is and must be done for Divine Glory. So all the work which the Heavenly Father has given I Am as Son to do, I will do precisely in accordance with how the Father wills I should do it. Whatever I have done, I have done for the Heavenly Father, and thus I have done it for the best of All Life. And All Life in Heaven rejoices with the I Am when I make progress in the art of True Revelation! The activities associated with the work of revealing the Truth about Life Eternal, Consciousness and Heaven may be ranked among the most important works which is given the I Am as Son to do for the Heavenly Father. Now that this work is finished and I am satisfied when I have revealed the Truth about Life Eternal in Heaven, and you see when it is now crowned with success; how it fulfills the sublimest of all revelation. This revelation of Life Eternal written in this book must be regarded as absolutely new, introduced into human language for the first time. And it comes to the people of the habitable globe as it is divinely ordered. Therefore, it is well to be — as desirous as the Author is for the protection of the newly revealed truth so that it may ever remain as the Author composed it. You see if your salvation is not worked out entirely in this generation you will be there on the habitable globe again the next generation. That is, you will be a child again, and go to school again and have the reading again, and have the meditation again. Think how great it would be to have this scientific revelation to begin with when you — a child again — must be prepared for earth conditions again.
THE ALL SONS CHURCH The Church is in the teaching about Life. Indeed, only through revelation and explanation about Life Eternal is it possible to provide that true teaching about the Life, which is called Church. It is clear to All Readers of this book, I am sure, that the revelation written in this book in its original meaning is accompanied by explanation about Life Eternal and from which the true teaching about Life Eternal comes. So the church is in the true teaching about The One Life Eternal. In this book (entitled ) are the foundational Teachings of the All Sons Church. These are some of the teachings: (1) That Life is eternal; (2) That Life Eternal is One; (3) That All Life is in the One Life Eternal; (4) That We, the Divine Sons, live and have being in Life Eternal and with a Life each it is that the Life is a living part in Life Eternal of man, so much so that We All as Divine Sons are one with the Heavenly Father and also are one with All Life Eternal; (5) That We the Divine Sons live Life Eternal now; That We are conscious now; That We enjoy Heaven now; (6) That We the Divine Sons are the Acting Causes for mankind and the Saviors of mankind; (7) That it is impossible to dissociate us in Real Life; That we should not attempt to dissociate us in the teaching about Life; (8) That this important teaching will eventually bring all people into One Religious Fellowship Association. Life Eternal is One! It is because of this that We have One Teaching, One Church. From this absolute oneness, there is and can be only one Religious Fellowship. So the One Religious Fellowship Association is earth-wide. Indeed, great revelations and explanations about Life Eternal arc necessary in order to reveal the All Sons Church. And through the volume of revelations and explanations about (as found written in this book) are provided true teachings about; which are thus the foundational teachings for the one permanent church. The name of the church is The All Sons. The Foundational Teachings of the All Sons Church arc provided thus because I know and realize the Truth about Life Eternal in Life Eternal. I know also and realize in Life Eternal, that We have only One Church — One Religion — One Religious Teaching — One Religious Fellowship. Moreover, see the day when this preceding stated truth about Life Eternal and about its activities will be proved with certainty among all people on earth. The teaching about All Sons already exists, therefore, The All Sons Church already exists in all its glory and perfection. The All Sons Church Teaching is universal! Accordingly, The All Sons Church is universal! And divinely it is so in its provisions, in its bestowals, and in its adaptation. It is not merely the majority of the people which are to have membership in the Religious Fellowship Association of The All Sons Church; but, it is all of the people. All Sons know it that way. And The All Sons Church will continue to win over members for religious worship with ever increasing skill, until all members are won over for religious worship. Indeed, in this twentieth century, mankind on the entire earth are invited to make preparation to join with the Religious Fellowship Association of the All Sons Church. It can be done if it is approached reverently. The All Sons Church will open its Beautiful Gate to those adherents prepared to follow its teaching and be guided by it. Trust it; hold to it; protect it from being humanized. And they who are thus ready to enter shall go through the Beautiful Gate into the Temple rejoicing. The auditorium or temple as dedicated to the people for religious services, prayer and worship, is and must be for all people
THE PURPOSE OF CHURCH SERVICES IS SALVATION Indeed, the All Sons Church service is for the purpose of salvation and benefit of the people. Now therefore, it could not be otherwise but so that all people are members of the great audiences and are included in the benefit derived from the church services. Yes, from church services where selections from the word of revealed truth about Life Eternal and Its Work may be read, even selections from the Bible word may be read, and read by divinely informed Readers, that read the words with knowledge of their meaning. For while the Reader reads the religious words thus, it is then that the evangelical meaning of the words is brought forth with clearness, yielding sweet melodies of sound to the words during reading. This kind of reading impresses the receptive audiences with a holy mood while glimpses of the All Harmonious Being are unfolded — falsities are hushed — the body is a channel for salvation — the I Am saves from sin the human man. Our prayer is for all people.
PRAYERS
A PRAYER FOR THE PEOPLE
Meanwhile, the benefit which will come to the people of the habitable globe because of the All Sons Church services, will be so great and of such tremendous importance that it cannot be estimated, it can only be experienced. The entire teaching of The All Sons Church should be conducted in the name of “ALL SONS” or in the name of “ALL LIFE ETERNAL.” Surely, this is the real Christian Teaching; and it is, and must be, the same teaching that the Life of Christ Jesus knew, and undertook to teach the people of Galilee. You see then, how more than all else the evangelical content of this new revelation introduces a teaching which will give Christianity a better chance to be a Christian Teaching. Although I have been obliged to use words which, in some respect, introduce a new teaching, yet this new teaching will he found in harmony with the doctrine of Christianity. For this is Christianity which invites the teaching: that the Life of each man is immortal now, and is identical Teacher and Savior with the Life of Christ Jesus, when It was Son of the Trinity Man. We have the foundational teaching to begin with and to continue with, namely, that We All are Divine Sons now; that We are acting causes now; that We are Saviors now; that We are ever working in Heaven for the purpose of maintaining, healing and saving mankind — until all are saved. This teaching gives to Christianity a new mark of divinity, and it gives to every man a new doctrine, as well as a comforter, that shall abide with man forever. Also it marks the beginning of the true Christian teaching since the Life of Christ Jesus. This revealed truth about Life Eternal of man is given to mankind for the purpose of telling the truth about it all. Even every one can prove to one’s own satisfaction the truth of these explanations.
THE WORD Life Eternal has invented the word for the purpose of having a way of communicating about itself, about its immortality, to the people in space, so as to bring about the highest possible degree of comfort and satisfaction and appreciation which the peoples always craved. Yet, it is so, that the Life reveals itself at first to a human personality in A B C teachings, through the word and through the reading of the word. The A B C teaching about Life Divine begins with reading, and the reading activity must be attributed to a Life Divine. So the Life in order to teach the lessons about itself, from the very start needs the written word, to read - yea, the word which explains and testifies of Life and its work. Ever it is the, I Am or the Life, that is the Reader of the religious word. It lives in Heaven beyond the human man. It reads reverently about Life in heaven from heaven to the human man (be the human man Peter or Thomas) in space. And, moreover is the Teacher of the word and in the effort to teach the Truth of Being to me, (be me Peter or Thomas) begins the teaching with the A B C’s. So the A B C teaching of the Truth of Being really is taught through reading the word which reveals the Truth about the Life. Also when the words are impressive of religion, it is then that the reading is interesting and entertaining, and above all is effective for salvation. So Life Divine of you lives in Heaven and yet it is your Omnipresent Reader. It imparts omnipresence to you wherever you are in space. Even through the reading activity it imparts the omnipresence to you with such infinite skill that when it reads to you or for you from the true scripture about itself and about All Life Eternal, it causes the words to flow from itself, from the heavenly side out to you in space in such rapid and impressive way that it also sounds the words through the human body and instantly it impresses you with the awareness of the sweet sound of the words while you sit there in space, perhaps in a corner of a quiet room all alone and all prepared for a quiet meeting with your Divine Life. Be it ever remembered that this revealed truth found written in this book is every morning new with blessings; and that by dedicating spare time for the reading and for the meditation about what is read, the Life will divinely reward you by showing you that you have an Omnipresent Comforter. Life Divine of me and Life Divine of you can do any considerable part of reading and it reads reverently, and the reading activity is for explanation and for revelation of itself and for explanation and revelation of All Life Eternal as well. So by reading this book wherein Life Divine of each human man is explained, even All Life Divine is explained. It may be well to select passages which are most interesting and helpful; and it is well to read those selected passages over and over again, for this kind of reading will bring the assurance sweet that Life is ever divine and ever waits to bless. The divinity of Life for every man is so well explained iii this book that merely the reading of the words will bring unspeakable comfort and satisfaction, even healing and saving. For the Joy and Peace that Life Divine of a person meditate to the person during the reading is like the Bliss of Heaven; and how it guides into the green pastures of contentment and calm repose, and how it bids tumult cease. So healing and saving go on gradually during the reading. If the divine I Am occupy your entire attention during the reading so that it impresses you with the superiority of Life Divine to the things of space, you cannot then while the reading goes on but be subject for healing and saving. Life Divine of you knows how to apply these teachings rightly and after it reads this book through for you, perhaps after only one reading, you cannot then go back quite to the same old belief that you had before the reading. So make a hobby of reading this book, for when it is read, it really is Life Divine of you that is the Reader; you see then how you are enabled to meet your Life Divine through the reading channel. You will appreciate its companionship when it also meditates about itself to you and whereby it imparts to you the truth about your Real Self in Heaven, so that all the mystery and doubt about your Divine Being vanish away and you are healed and saved. It really remains for Life Divine of you to prove to you through divine meditation the Truth about your Divine Being.
LIFE DIVINE AND ITS TEACHING I mean to reveal by these explanations that as false and wrong beliefs are dropped for good beliefs it is that the A B C teaching of the Truth of Being begins — yes, begins with reading, study, meditation, observation, and so forth. The Life of the human man reveals itself to the human man in the silence as good belief, and teaches the lessons of good belief, to the human man, until all lessons of good belief are entirely finished. When finished thus, the Life reveals itself to the human man as the omnipresent thinker. It teaches the lessons of good thinking to the human man until all lessons of thinking are entirely finished. The Life, being finished thus, continues to teach from good thinking to understanding — from understanding to knowledge — from knowledge to realization — from realization to Consciousness. Also teaches all the lessons about the Qualities until all lessons about the Qualities are entirely finished. When finished thus the goal is won. I reveal to you all this which you thought was a mystery, and learn from it that the Life of every human man is a Living Teacher and Savior.
SAVIOR What I write in this chapter under the headline Savior, brief as it necessarily is, yet will have in it something which denotes what pertains to preparatory studies about salvation. This chapter really belongs in the third book which I expect to write. I insert it here at the close of this book for a purpose and the purpose is manyfold. And surely for the comfort of the Readers I shall take the opportunity and mention some of the purposes. So I shall proceed to reveal anew what is true about the Savior. (The purposes read as follows): For the purpose that the question about the Savior shall no longer remain unanswered. For the purpose of explaining that Life Divine within each of us has identical saving power and is identical Savior with the Life of Christ Jesus. For the purpose of explaining that the healing and saving presence of Life Divine of each of us is omnipresent with each one of us even unto the end of all errors. For the purpose that you should not feel dismayed because I tell you that the Life of Christ Jesus finished its work and merged and does trot work for earth conditions any more. For the purpose of explaining that whatever religious love and trust we have for the Life of Christ Jesus, we can keep by doing things which we know would please the Life of Christ Jesus. Even by so doing we reveal our Love for the Life of Christ Jesus. For the purpose that you shall not feel sad — but be glad — that the Truth, for which there has been much wait — is revealed. [Footnote: When reading the words in this book, the substitution of the word you for the word me, when the reading is but for one; and the substitution of the word you for the words we and us, when the reading is for more than one, gives a clearer meaning with the readings in general.] To return to the line of revealed truth as found written in this book, it is made scientifically clear that the Life of every man is immortal now, is conscious now, and enjoys Heaven now. It is the I Am that is the Divine Son and also is the Divine Savior. So the I Am of every human man is Divine Son and Divine Savior. How true it is then that it really is Life Divine within each man that is the savior and has been working as savior and also has been worshiped as savior since the beginning of the human race. It really takes all Qualities of the I Am to be a Savior! And indeed all Qualities of the I Am participate evenly in the activity of being Savior. Therefore it is easy to understand that the Qualities united are the I Am; and Savior is a title for the I Am in the divine activity of saving. As Sons of the Trinity Man We All were given Life for the purpose of being Acting Cause and also for the purpose of being Savior. Indeed the I Am of every one of us has precisely as much Life as the Life of Christ Jesus had, so We all have exactly the same amount of saving power, also We have the same amount of saving work to do as the Life of Christ Jesus had. The I Am of the human man has the same kind of physical form to maintain in space as the Life of Christ Jesus had, and the I Am or the Life is maintaining that physical form in very much the same way as the I Am of Christ Jesus maintained the physical form man called Christ Jesus. But the difference lies in this: that the Life of Christ Jesus used the physical form man called Christ Jesus as channel for the glorification and revelation of Life Divine. The I Am or Life Divine of Christ Jesus had perfect control of the physical form man which is called Christ Jesus, for from the beginning of the earthly journey it walked the footsteps of Christ Jesus directly forward in the way that led to the goal away from error and evil quite to the end of it. This was at the goal when the saving work for the Life of Christ Jesus was completed, and when the saving work was entirely completed for the Life of Christ Jesus it had no more work to do and it merged. We must do likewise. Confronted here with the bigness of these words “We must do likewise.” How true it is that it really is Life Divine for each of us that does what really is done, and We are only doing what Our heavenly Father qualified us capable of doing. That is all.
HOW LIFE DIVINE OF EACH HUMAN MAN AS SAVIOR WORKS IN HEAVEN OR IN ETERNITY Life Divine of each human man is Living Part in Life Eternal of man. So We live in Life Eternal of Man and here We All are one. True also it is that where We live We also work and perform all of our important duties of being both Acting Cause and Savior. We in heaven know that We need not be in space in order to fulfill the duties of being Acting Cause and Savior. Therefore We never come into space, but We transmit the results of the work We do in Heaven from the heavenly side out to the beneficiary in space and our method of doing it is divine! Also We ever discharge our duties in harmony with Father’s Will Divine. The human form man or the human body is form only, and there are no Qualities lodged in the human form. From this it is therefore very clear that when there are no Qualities in the human form there is or can be no Life in it. Here is a Life in eternity to every human form man in space and with a Life each, it is that the Life is Divine. So Life Divine of me and Life Divine of you and Life Divine of each human personality lives in Heaven or in eternity and never leaves Heaven or eternity but is here at work constantly for the benefit and comfort of the human body. The human body as maintained by the Life is but an instrument or channel for the Life to work through in order to achieve both maintenance and salvation, and whatever is done for the comfort of the human body is clone by a worker in Heaven. To Life Divine far away things are near or it is so that to Life Divine there are no far away things but all is omnipresent activity. For as it is revealed already, the Life of each human man is in Heaven or in eternity, and it is true that where the Life lives it also acts and performs all of its duties, and it does not have to be where the work it does takes effect. So I say again that it is Life Divine or the I Am of a human form man that works constantly in eternity for the liberation and comfort of the human form man of its maintenance. It knows all about what to do for the human form man of its maintenance and does this work with perfect care and skill continuously. Even it transmits the results of the work it does in eternity from itself out to and through the human form man of its maintenance. The transmission of results is continuous and rapid and so genuine that all results transmitted to a human body in space reach the human body, even pass through it, and so are made effectual when it produces good effects on the body. Healing and saving go on continuously for you but it is up to you that need to be healed and saved to let the healing and saving activity be a success by letting the I Am of you lead you away from the world of errors to the goal. If you are walking the way of salvation that extends throughout from the goal to the level where you are, it is true that if your personality makes no opposition to the activities of the I Am (of you) it will take command of your body and heal it and save it. Meanwhile, the healing and saving work which the I Am of the human form man does for the human form man is continuous. Even the result of the I Am’s work proceeds from the I Am in Heaven to the human body and flows through the body continuously. But 1n order that the healing and saving stream may take effect for you continuously so that you are healed and saved you must conform to the divine demands. I shall not now write much about what these demands are, for I know that when you turn to your Life Divine for help it instantly will help. Also it will impart to you its own demands rightly, surely, and freely. For Life Divine of you is so infinitely loving, beautiful and pure that its Love, Beauty and Purity can only be experienced and cannot be fully explained through words. In the degree that your human body is used as a channel for healing and saving, in just the same degree the healing and saving work of the I Am (of you) is proved to be a success. And it is proved to be a success by these signs that health is more and more real to you and sickness is more and more unreal, that sinlessness is more and more real to you and sin is more and more unreal, and so forth throughout the entire healing and saving ministry. Indeed the healing and saving work which the I Am of you does for you takes effect for you, even unto the end of doubt, fear, anxiety, worry, hate, sickness, sin. If, for example, you come into the quiet sanctuary or secret place with your Life Divine it will meditate to you what the demands are. Soon, it will be made perfectly clear to you that it is your Life Divine that from Heaven meditates with you about demands for obedience; and by degrees will win you over to the way of salvation which is so scientifically marked out and as you follow the right course and yield to the divine it will beckon you on with gentleness and kindness all the way to the goal. Throughout the centuries you may have yearned to be obedient to the Divine Qualities which compose your Life, but perhaps you have not made it your business to be so! If you have not devoted spare time for the meditation meeting with your Life Divine, the healing and saving stream which emanates constantly from your Life Divine to you and that would impart obedience to you and shut out disobedience for you remains a mystery. Life Divine of you from the Divine side is meditating obedience to you constantly, but if you do not make it your business to practice obedience, the obedience which the Divine Life meditates to you about does not take effect for you constantly and from this it is therefore that you are not healed and saved from disobedience. But as long as you refuse to obey the divine demands when they are imparted to you even in A B C, then the healing and saving stream which is flowing through the human body continuously does not affect the human body with healing and saving continuously, and the human body is not healed and saved from the effects of doubt, fear, anxiety, worry, hate, disease and sin of the outer personality. Yet We have the promise that every human form man shall be saved, and to be saved means that the healing is already completed. But it depends on how you that shall be saved spend the days, if you spend them in the world of errors sloth of negatives. And if you have not in this generation even begun to walk the way of salvation which leads away from the world of errors to the goal, you must come back in the next generation and begin again exactly on the same level where you laid down the earth wandering; you take it up again and begin again and you will have a chance to start all over again. Indeed, in the exact degree that you renounce false desires that arrest the steps onward, you would be free — and ready to follow in the way of perfect liberty — that leads toward the Goal of Fulfillment.
IT IS FALSE BELIEF THAT THE HUMAN PERSONALITY NEEDS TO BE SAVED FROM It will he readily admitted that the belief that the Life lives in a form of flesh is the cruel belief which makes up the world of errors or illusions and which every human personality so believing needs to be saved from or needs to climb out of and walk away from. It is false belief, believed in as true, which as a consequence is the outer personality, the troublemaker, the sinner, that must vanish. It is the human body which needs to be saved from effects of false beliefs, for it is outer false beliefs believed in as true which consequently affect the body according to what the belief is. And as much as sickness is believed in as true, that belief affects the human body from the outside discordantly or with sickness. So it is outside false beliefs of the outer personality that the human body or the human form man needs to be saved from. And be saved by The Life. That reveals itself (to the human man) as good belief, as good thinking, as understanding, as knowledge, as Realization. The false belief that the Life lives in human body, as persisted in, results in the false belief that the human body with the outer personality is the man with authority even to be conscious and do evil and to sin. As if there was power in evil and sin of which the outer personality is made up. The human body is form or appearance, and is maintained on the habitable globe from Heaven by the Life. For form is form and can never be a false belief, a false belief is different from form; false beliefs are illusions that make up the outer personality. Therefore the outer personality cannot be redeemed but it must vanish. False beliefs or the outer personality although it seems as if it was in the human body yet it is entirely divided or separated from the human body; for it is outside of the human body in the world of errors and from there abuses the body. So it really is false beliefs believed in as true that every one so believing needs to be saved from, and to be saved from it in the present. You cannot be saved from all false beliefs at once, for the reason that you cannot part with all false beliefs at once. But it is necessary for you as it is for millions to part with them gradually, and how gradually depends upon how much you stay away from those things that induce false beliefs. From these explanations it is made clear that we are not going to elevate a false belief, but that the false belief must be laid aside or caused to vanish before the good belief. Yes, the good belief about health, about holiness, about divinity, all of which the Divine Life or the I Am of you will meditate about to you instantly only as you really turn earnestly in its direction. All the while if Divine Companionship is desired and is the ruling motive it is because of this therefore, that the Divine Life of you is the Omnipresent Friend which is ever by you and identifies itself to you as the Good of you, as the Honesty of you, as the Intelligence of you, as the Knowledge of you, as the Law of you, as the Light of you, as the Love of you, as the Mind of you, as the Power of you, as the Purity of you, as the Righteousness of you, as the Soul of you, as the Truth of you, as the Will of you, as the Wisdom of you, and as the Beauty of you. In other words, it identifies itself to you as the Qualities of you, The Life of you, The I Am of you. To impart real friendship is an activity of the Divine Life. Do you recognize how the Divine Life of you as the Omnipresent Friend is ever active for you, even stands by and cheers and guides you into a straight course and helps you all through into the harbor of safety? Real friendship comes from Life Divine. It is well to note here that We say it comes, and it takes effect with the man in space. So through the activity of friendship Life Divine proves itself a Friend to the human form man in space. Ultimately every human personality will be brought to conform with the divine demands of being obedient to Qualities or to the I Am in order to be liberated, and healed and saved from all false beliefs which make up the outer personality; yes, the troublemaker and mischief-maker of the world of errors. So bow in reverence, and worship before your Life Divine when it from Heaven meditates with you about the demands for obedience to the Qualities which compose your Life; when it also impresses you with a tender desire to be obedient, so much so that it brings a holy mood to you, and to the extent of the holy mood brought to you, to that same extent it displaces disobedience for you. From this beautiful experience it is, therefore, that you are presented with a feeling of being a little more honest than you ever were before; a little more truthful than you ever were before, a little more intelligent than you ever were before, and so forth. You are presented with a feeling of being influenced for betterment by all Qualities which compose your life. For as the Life of you consists in qualities, it is that when you practice obedience to the Qualities you practice obedience to your Life Divine and to All Life Eternal as well; even unto the end of every bit of error and evil; all of which take place at the Goal. The urge to be obedient to one’s Life Divine is omnipresent. But it is the practice of obedience that counts! That not only counts, but is what one is rewarded for. Honesty provides escape from dishonesty, and so forth. Through all Qualities each provides an escape from what is utterly contrary to the Law of Life. So one finds that when one obeys them they offer escape from falsities of every kind. It is, moreover, through the simple and gentle way of obedience that the Life keeps everything under control for one, even guides one into honest business transactions. For the I Am of the human man is the honest business man, ever engaged in teaching and meditating about the art of honest business. Its gentle method of approach impresses one with confidence and courage, and so with an honest business mood, and by that you are won over for honest business. So every morning think honestly! Notice with what greatness and simplicity honesty and all Qualities in your Life work for you, and achieve for you whatever is done in the business or professional occupations, whether in the factory, in the school room, in the home, or in any other place of employment. So, whatever station you may be at, be convinced, and remember this, that nothing can be more satisfying to you than being an instrument for honest dealings with fellow men in general. Let it be true to you that it is every one’s duty to have honest dealings with fellow men! So every morning start to work with an honest mood. Let the honest thought influence you so to bring about honest dealings with fellow men through the general routine of today; and fellow workers inspired by your example will do the same, do better work. Have not only fair dealings with fellow men, but have the best of dealings with them. Yes, dealings which ennoble and leaven society with the idealism of a general appreciation. Only honest business is a success. It can be proved a success when it brings a reward from Heaven — the reward of lasting satisfaction. Yes, the reward of lasting satisfaction comes from heaven to the faithful over a few things; and it brings comfort along, and comfort calls forth a cheerful response from the grateful one. It is to be remembered that when the faithful over a few things set the hand to the plow and look not back, nor look to the right, nor to the left, but look straight ahead from whence cometh the reward — the reward comes — even the reward of having constant divine companionship.
THOUSAND YEARS IS AS ONE DAY The saving work has hitherto been believed as cared for by the Life of Christ Jesus to the exclusion of the I Am Life of each of us. Even some people are looking for Christ Jesus to come back to earth when the Life itself of Christ Jesus is finished with working for earth conditions. Now it is more than nineteen hundred years since the Life of Christ Jesus was finished with working for earth conditions and merged. But to the I Am of every one of us and to Our Heavenly Father, and to All Life Eternal because of the Happiness, Harmony, Peace, Bliss, Joy and Glory We have here in Heaven eternally, “a thousand years is as one day.” Accordingly to All Life Eternal in Heaven nineteen hundred years is but as two days. Since Christ Jesus was saved no human form man has been saved that I know of. For a human form man to be fully saved from the outer personality means that false belief and errors which make up the outer personality should have vanished entirely so that the body is released entirely from the outer personality at which both the created body and the human body vanish. This is at the Goal of Fulfillment when the I Am or the Divine Life in eternity has achieved the purpose for which It has been working and is finished with working for earth conditions and merges. What guarantee is there for believing that the Life of Christ Jesus is every man’s Savior; or for resting the saving work upon this dream? None. Let I Am tell you that it is a false dream — which mankind must be awakened from. The term false dream refers also to the other false beliefs which mankind are inclined to cherish. I shall here mention some of the most cherished false beliefs which read as follows: First: That the I Am lives in human form. Second: That the I Am is sick in human form. Third: That the I Am sins in human form. Fourth: That the I Am dies in human form. Fifth: That the I Am is saved somehow at the end of one earthly period by the Life of Christ Jesus and escorted to Heaven to remain forever. The teaching that the Life of Christ Jesus can save, even now after it is finished with working for earth conditions and has merged, is impossible. I do not know from where this teaching came. It may be that it came from some misinterpretation of the Bible Word. So the chief difficulty lies in the commonly accepted belief that the Life of Christ Jesus was every man’s Savior. For because of this false belief the saving work of the I Am of a human form man remains unrecognized and consequently is left out entirely of the general religious teachings of today. The author knows the Truth about the Savior and must therefore of necessity provide the explanation for that true religious teaching about the Savior. Yes, a teaching which will be proved divinely Christian, for it is the real teaching of Christianity. Also it will soon be advocated as a general religious teaching because it brings to mankind this comforting message, that Life Divine or the I Am of each human form man is identical Savior with the Life of Christ Jesus; and also has exactly the same amount of saving work to do before it is finished with working for earth conditions as had the Life of Christ Jesus. Moreover, that the I Am of you is in Heaven, the I Am of each human form man is in Heaven and is doing saving continuously for the human form man of its maintenance. That it is absolutely necessary for the I Am which maintains a human form man also to be the Savior of that form man; for both the maintenance work and the saving work are achieved together constantly by the I Am in an orderly mode. Indeed this discloses both the necessity and the practicability of the I Am Life being Savior of the human form man which it maintains. To have the I Am as Savior is something to rejoice at! For when you turn to the I Am or to Life Divine of yourself any moment of the day, it will meditate to you about that it is ever occupied with the work of being your Maintainer and Savior. So when you are on saving terms with your Life Divine then only will you meet your Savior, and it will comfort you when you are dismayed. The I Am Life is working constantly as Maintainer and Savior and never takes a minute’s vacation for if It did take a minute’s vacation that very minute both the created body and the human body would come to an end. By the preceding explanation I know that I have made it clear that the saving work cannot be done by another Savior but by the Acting Cause which also maintains that human form man. So to have the I Am as Savior is found to be of greater advantage for it offers the only opportunity of being saved, to have perfect freedom and perfect liberty. So the I Am is Acting Cause and Savior and also preserver of the human body, which it maintains and we are convinced of the care and protection that are given to it constantly. Except for the evil indulgences of the outer personality it is so that not a minute particle of the healing and saving results which come to the human form man constantly would be lost. I mean to show by this explanation that the Life of every human form man is equal Healer and Savior with the Life of Christ Jesus. So if you give Life Divine of yours an equal opportunity to be your Savior with the Life of Christ Jesus by letting your human body be as an open channel for the healing and saving process you will be both healed and saved from the effects of the false beliefs that the Life lives in the human body until you are entirely saved.
JESUS CHRIST EXAMPLE From what has been explained throughout this book about the Savior, it is made perfectly clear to the people that Savior is a title for the Life or for the I Am of each human man. The Life of Jesus Christ saved fully Jesus Christ, and by so doing finished Its work and merged. It is from this, therefore, made perfectly clear that the Life of Jesus Christ is not and was not Savior from sin to the rest of the people on earth. But that it, the Life of Jesus Christ, by this activity of fully saying Jesus Christ from the outer personality of sin, proved divinely that full salvation from sin is likewise absolutely certain for each human man without exception. The Author knows in Heaven, that everyone (be it Peter or Thomas) has a Life each, and the Life of each works out the salvation of each throughout the various stages of obedience. And inasmuch as it was proved centuries ago that the human man is saved while on earth, it shall be proved again precisely as well by the Life of each human personality. Jesus Christ, as a human man, was saved entirely from all errors of the outer world because the body, which is between the Life and the outer world, was used by the Life as a temple, or as a channel to work through until full salvation was achieved by the Life, for Jesus Christ. This activity of keeping the body as a temple or channel for salvation, and as manifested by Jesus Christ, seta great example — an example for each to prove, who is ready to follow the way of salvation for all time to come. So like Jesus Christ, every other human personality, in order to be fully saved must follow the great example by letting the human body be — not only on certain dates, but all the time — channel for salvation. To Jesus Christ, Full Salvation meant complete obedience to all Divine Qualities, which means complete obedience to the Life or to the I Am (of Jesus Christ) as it lives in Heaven. Jesus Christ, while on earth, was channel for religious practices of divine importance. Therefore, all the while a reward came to Jesus Christ on earth, from the Life in Heaven, the reward of a holy mood with constant progress goal-ward; so much so, that step by step falsities vanished for Jesus and the complete escape from error was won. For indeed, complete freedom from error of every kind took place for Jesus Christ at the Goal of Fulfillment, and when the Life of Jesus Christ had fulfilled its duties entirely, and when it merged with the Whole Life Eternal of Man. Likewise, full salvation to me, and full salvation to you, and full salvation to every other human personality (no matter what the human name may be) means that one is fully obedient to one’s Life Divine. So, with a Life each it is that the Life lives in Heaven (beyond the human) and is identical with the Life of Jesus Christ, and also is as perfect Savior as was the Life of Jesus Christ. Therefore, the Life does not need salvation — nor need an example to follow — in order to save the human man, so much in need of salvation. The achievements manifested through Jesus Christ simply were left as an example for human conduct and well doing in general to the people centuries ago. Yet, the meaning of the word example, when it refers to the achievements manifested through Jesus Christ, endures to all generations and is for guidance of the people; a guidance that is felt by all those who are ready to follow with it. Therefore, the example of Jesus Christ brought down through the centuries will remain with the people as long as there are people on earth. So each person (be it Peter or Thomas) in the daily choices in order to be guided and led from within by the Life to the goal in view, may soon be found keeping in line with the great example of Jesus Christ, and so be an example for well doing in this of making genuine amends, until becoming like Jesus Christ, a great example for human conduct, or for well doing in general to people on earth. For, in order to be an example thus, it behooves one to be a Christian, and as one compares one’s doings as far as conduct is concerned with the doings of Jesus Christ, it is easy to tell how much of a Christian one is. In all religious work of ours that is in writing, reading, teaching and singing concerning Jesus Christ, We should henceforth substitute the word savior for the word example. The substitution of the word savior for the word example is scientifically correct concerning Jesus Christ. The word example has a definite meaning. It is familiar, and also is comprehensible and demonstrable, and indeed will impress the People with a general appreciation and assurance of having at least Jesus Christ as an example to follow, which is more than just a belief in him as savior. And there is an everlasting recompense of praise and honor to follow at the revealing of Jesus Christ as example. We will write, read, teach and sing about Jesus of Nazareth as example as long as there are people on earth. Even to the Sunday School children We shall read, teach and sing about Jesus the gentle Nazarene as having been a great example for gentleness to the little children of centuries ago. And as the meaning of the word example endures to all generations, it is because of this that the example of Jesus is as modern today as it was centuries ago, And lo! Is every morning new with blessings! Yes, new! With blessings even to the little children of today. The name Jesus is naturally beautiful. And when we add Nazareth to it it simply is wonderfully beautiful to the children. The Author remembers Sunday School days both as a pupil and as a teacher. As a Sunday School pupil I loved to hear the teacher giving all kinds of good reports about Jesus of Nazareth. Also as we were singing religious hymns together about Jesus of Nazareth it was to me as a heavenly chorus! Yes, to me as I joined in singing the hymns thus, it sounded as if every letter in the word Jesus was filled as with beautiful melodies. How by these beautiful childhood memories I Am bridge the years of time so that the memories are right with me now in newness and sweetness, while I write these words! The beautiful sound of the name Jesus, when it is concerned with Jesus of Nazareth, is the same for me today — and so is changeless and unaffected by the years.
THE PROMISE READS The I Am of you knows what to do for you, and when you are ready to walk away from the world of errors and illusions, it even walks your human body forward in the way and leads in the way toward the goal where the promise that every form man shall be saved is fulfilled. The way of salvation extends between the Goal of Fulfillment and the promise. The promise reads that every human man eventually shall be saved. The fulfillment of this promise takes place at the goal. The Goal of Fulfillment can be reached only by degrees or step by step; and walking forward toward the goal even if there is a long view from the promise to the goal. Yet each step taken is ordered, controlled, guided, directed by the I Am (of you) and brings you nearer and nearer to the goal in view. I Am (of you) is with you all the way and protects you even unto the end of the way which is at the goal — a Goal to which every human form man must eventually be led. If there is no opposition from your outside personality to the activities of the I Am the little false gods to which you have devoted much attention, even worshiped and worried about so long and which hinder the progress, will be set aside. And even after they are set aside you need not tell anyone about the activity of setting aside the little false gods for the I Am of you will eventually unfold to you the reason for the proposition. Remember that no one could save you from the false effects of the little false gods of worldly entanglements but Life Divine of you, and you are not to wait or put off any longer the parting with them — the little false gods. But begin now and be willing to part with them; and then part with them — at least gradually. This is how the I Am of you as Savior attains the purpose of achieving freedom for you from entanglements of the outer world, so you need no longer be driven and tormented by little false gods. Indeed the I Am of you will convey to you the purpose for being your Savior when it brings for you unspeakable comfort and satisfaction and you begin to experience the saintly condition that entirely outweighs so-called worldly amusements of the little false gods. Naturally this is the way by which the human body must be saved from the falsities which the outer personality imposes upon it. For in the degree that the falsities of the outer personality vanish, the human body responds to repair. This is, improvement takes place in the human body until it is normal. In the degree that the body becomes normal it is used by the I Am as a temple or as a channel for divine revelation and glorification.
FORM INSTRUMENT OR CHANNEL FOR SALVATION, REVELATION AND GLORIFICATION The human body was given for the purpose of being used by the I Am as a temple or channel for revelation and glorification of Life Divine. And in the degree that the personality obeys orders so that the I Am can do as the Life of Christ Jesus in this, that it can maintain the human body as an unobstructed channel for revelation and glorification of Life Divine; it is that the saving work goes on steadily, while the falsities of the outer personality are shut out, and day by day gradually vanish away and in due time are vanished altogether. Then the saving work is finished, the goal is reached. I rejoice at being enabled to use the human body which I from Heaven maintain in space, as an instrument of importance, which I can move so as to suit every convenience as I write; and whereby I meet with the requirement of being a successful writer. Moreover, whereby I also glorify, explain and reveal A11 Life Eternal in Heaven from Heaven, out to the people in space. From this it is therefore made clear, that I Am uses the human body as a temple or as an unobstructed channel through which I glorify, explain, and reveal Life Eternal as it also is Divine. I live in Life Eternal now, and indeed to the I Am of me Life Eternal, Consciousness and Heaven are as an open book. So what I write about Life, Consciousness and Heaven is authority, also what I write in this chapter about the Savior is authority. The need is always for a true revelation about Life and about Consciousness and about Heaven; and also about the Savior. And now the Heavenly Father has authorized I Am to write what I have written in this book and even what I have written in this chapter about the Savior which is from the third book. It is that I Am having this divine authority to write and reveal the Truth about the Savior and that I should not withhold telling the Truth as I know it. Approaching the goal of fulfilling duties in this most interestingly pursued activity of writing words about the Truth in a book, it does seem easy to write, when I know too, that each successive step in the way of fulfilling duties and being of service brings the I Am of me that much nearer to the Great Goal where all duties and services of I Am are fulfilled and finished forever. All Life in Heaven rejoices with I Am when I now have achieved success with the art of true revelation. The importance of this new and true revelation of the Truth of Being is infinitely great. For it provides fresh revelation which We Divine Sons have always required in the maintenance work and saving work in order to be enabled to meditate about us, and about All Life Eternal as well, what We really are to the human race. You see then, how for example I by writing and revealing the Truth of Being as serving All Life Eternal in Heaven. All Life Eternal in Heaven includes All Divine Sons. Therefore, through what I have written I have also served All Divine Sons as well. The purpose of the great task I came to perform is to the I Am as an open book and to every I Am it is the same. So here is no mystery in Life Eternal about the Life itself, neither about its work. The Author is capable of giving a more elaborate explanation about the Savior when opportunity to do so occurs. So when I write you again, dear reader, about the Savior, I shall explain to you more fully and show you precisely what steps can and must be taken in order that the I Am of you may be enabled to prove to you that it is both your Maintainer and your Savior. Also it will prove to you that it is an identical Savior with the Life of Christ Jesus. The promise still holds that all men shall be saved. I see the day when all men, or in other words all peoples on the entire earth, shall be saved, when the I Am of each person shall have finished its work and merged. And Life Eternal is as it from eternity was with its Consciousness and Heaven. This revealed truth as written in this book I trust will remain original with the peoples of earth until the long awaited promise that all men or peoples shall be saved is entirely fulfilled. When all peoples are saved, then this revelation as written in this book shall have served the purpose for which it was written. Amen.
