Revelation

World of nature. Night after night, I teach and tell the story of him who comes from above this world of nature. If you're here for the first time and this seems strange, but you take it to heart and you develop on it, and you will find it in the end far more practical than all the things that our scientists can give you for this is revelation. I did not come by it through reason. it was all revealed to me, and the vast difference between between revealed truth and science. Revealed truth is wisdom. As defined in the scripture, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. Science is knowledge based upon experiment. and we've done a wonderful job in the world of science.

But what I've been saying to tell you is not science. It's simply revelation. The revelation of him who is the same yesterday, today and forever. There's no change in this being of whom I speak. He's called in scripture Jesus Christ. Which is the father and the son. Jesus is the Lord. And Christ, his son. Jesus is the I am in man. His son, when you meet him, is personified. and you will know him, the eternal youth, David. After 3 ,000 years, he has an age, one iota. If you knew of one and you take it as a chronological story, and you know that he lived 1 ,000 B .C., you would expect an old, old, old person.

And yet I tell you when you meet him he is the youth, the eternal youth in his team. And that is David. Have no concept about will I know him? Oh, you will know him because he never changes. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today day, and forever. That's why you will know him. You will know Jesus because you will be Jesus. As you are told in John, that is the first epistle of John, it does not get a prayer what we shall be, but we know that when he appears, we shall know him because we shall be like him. you will be the being called Jesus and Jesus is the Lord and you will know him only when his son David the eternal you reveals you as his father, for David is the son of the Lord.

Now, last night, as is my custom when my wife and I are separated either if I'm traveling or she as it is today in the hospital, I invariably call her and give her a thought for meditation for the night that is my habit, and so having called her last night around 8, she can't speak, but I asked for the floor and the head nurse and gave her just a thought. And the thought was my state: past love endures forever. Just who I am. And then I didn't say anything. My wife wouldn't exactly who called. I said to the nurse, "Going and read this to her because she cannot speak to you. Just go and read it to her."

And then I sat down next to my radio and turned on some lovely music. And then I took a theme. For as we are told, night brings counsel. And that's the proverb of all nations throughout the ages. If I would fill my mind with something, then the night should in some way unfold it to me. and so I took as my theme those who sing my fall into division and my regeneration to unity, my generation into decay and death, and my regeneration into this immortal state. I fall into division and I'm regenerated into unity. For during the night I had this discourse. There were, oh, quite a few of us, as many say as we have here.

And there was one person present, a man not any taller than I am, but much heavier. He weighed at least 200 pounds but strong, very strong physically. And he took issue with it. I was telling him, I'm talking to myself. The whole vast world is myself pushed out. It's all myself pushed out. I knew only an aspect to my own being. But he seemed so completely free and independent by his attitude and his argument with me, they would seem stupid to persist in telling him that he is the outpicturing of something within me that I cannot leave in the grave. That I cannot leave anyone in the grave. I must raise them and bring them home to where I am.

But he laughed ironically. And then I said to him, what do you think is going to happen to you now when I awake? And so I awoke. And he vanished, as they all vanished. And I was alone in my home. The whole vast world, world, myself pushed out, I have an obligation to take with me a certain number at this moment, and simply not leave it behind. I'll raise it. I cannot leave it in the grave. And so I am the resurrection and the life. I must prepare a way for my banished ones to return. And that way I will, for I am the way. There is no other way to the Father. There is only one way, and the way is Jesus Christ.

Jesus being the I Am -ness of man, that is the Father. and Christ the son that is David and only David can reveal you as God the Father. Then my mind wandered off to something that I discussed that day with a friend of mine who took me and my wife to the hospital. So when we came back on the way up, we were discussing in the car on the way home. I thought of this spaniard, and I wish I could read Spanish, because if the English translation is as great as it is, what must it be in the original tongue of the Spanish tongue? He recently departed this world, but But he must have had the most glorious concept because it's so poetically told.

And he tells, and he begins it this way. This page will be no less a riddle than those of my holy book. And he only writes one page. this page will be no less a riddle than those of my holy book. Then he started, I who am the was, the is, and the is to come, descend to the written word. which is only time in succession no more than an emblem these things drop out of my eternity they're only signs and then you start this perfectly lovely, I cannot quote it exactly because it's a whole long page, but I'll give you the essence. And then he starts this wonderful story. I knew, First of all, he said, I was born of a womb by an act of magic.

I lived under a spell, imprisoned in a body. I knew hope and fear, those twin faces of the uncertain future. I knew wakefulness, sleep, dreams, ignorance, the flesh, reasons round about labyrinth. I knew the friendship of men and the blind devotion of dog. I was loved, understood, praying, and hung from a cross. I drank my cup to the grave. I knew bitterness as well. Sometimes homesick I think back on the smell of that carpenter's shop now we tell you the beginning it's a riddle and this faith is no less a riddle than the riddle of my holy book and you take that apart your mind becomes inflamed if you know the symbolism is used in that one page I think back sometimes when I am homesick on the smell of that carpenter's shop well the word carpenter that you know is associated with Jesus in the Bible is this not the carpenter's son is this not the carpenter well the word carpenter in scripture by definition in the concordance the biblical concordance means to produce from sin as a woman as a queen as the earth.

You produce it from seed. Here he is producing from the seed, the immortal seed implanted within. He has to drink his cup to the very end. Drink it to the grave and know bitterness as well. He knew all these things, the flesh, for he became flesh and dwelt within us. He knew ignorance, with every one in this world knows ignorance. He knows all the reasoning, these roundabout reasoning, and the labyrinthine states of reasoning. He knew the pleasure of many, the blind devotion of a dog. all these things he experienced and then he returned to where he was before enriched by the experience so I thought of those who sing Allah fall into division and that I have experienced and they also sing our resurrection into unity.

That I have experienced. When that night at sea, coming through the Calvary Sea towards Mobile, Alabama, when I was lifted up on high and moved in some strange, wonderful way, like a spiral, fiery spiral, but completely out of this garden, clothed in a garment of fire and air. And there I saw this enormous sea of human imperfection. And I simply glided by. That's all I did. I had no compassion. I didn't do anything to change anyone in my world. But as I came by to this huge sea of human imperfection, They were blind, they were lame, they were hollow, they were deaf, they were dumb. You name it, they had it. And as I glided by, everyone was transformed into that perfection that I felt springing within me.

And when I came to the very end, and the last one was completely transformed, as all the others were, then that same heavenly chorus sang out it is finished and then again I felt myself imprisoned in this body this body is a prison and that enormous being that glorious being that is perfect is imprisoned in it for a purpose and the day is coming that you will completely drain the cup and you will drink it through the drake. And when you've completed it, you will be lifted up and you'll return to the glory that was yours before that the world was. Only enhanced by the experience of this world of death. For this is a world of death.

Everything decayed everything died in this world so you, the immortal being came down into a world of death and took upon yourself the imprisoned poor, poor man and here you move slowly, imprisoned, restricted and you experience death you experience decay and all the things that goes with it one day you drain the cup when you finish the cup then you are restored to your original state but greater than you were before the descent into this world so there's thing you're for into this world of generation. And they also sing it into your regeneration into the world from which you came. An actual choral group. And they'll call you by name. And you are the being spoken of in Scripture as the Lord Jesus, the Lord Jehovah, the Lord called God.

There is no other God. There is no God but the I am -ness within you. There is no other God. And he prepared the way for his banished ones, for all the banished ones to return. And the only way back is through his son. Until you find his son, you can't get back because you don't know who you are. You will only know who you are when the Son of God calls you Father. Then you will know you are God the Father. Outside of that, you will never know it. I can tell it to you from now to the ends of time. And maybe you will believe me. And maybe you will be hopeful. But as he said earlier, in this one page, I knew hope and fear.

Those twin faces of the uncertain future. I hope he's telling me the truth and yet it's mingled with fear. Have I done the right thing? You've done the right thing. You've gone through all of these things that he mentioned on that page. You've known the flesh and the weaknesses of the flesh. You've known the friendship of men, the blind devotion of the dog. You've known all these things, but in the end after you have drained the cup, you will turn up. For there is a river that makes happy the city of God. There is a river and that river flows down and it flows up. Read it in the 46th Psalm. This river you're told God is in the midst of it and it shall not be moved.

And that river is within you it's not a thing on the outside it's not the Nile it's not any river in the world outside of man the whole vast world is man pushed out and that river is within you and it comes down from above I am from above and that to which I go it is from below No, I come down into the world of generation to experience generation, which leads me into decay and death. And having played it all, then I turn around and move up once more to the top, bringing with me the sum total of the experiences of my descent into the written word. who he said I now descend into the written word to make it alive the written word is his holy Bible, his holy word It's a sealed book for anyone who only has reason about how wise he is in this world as he reads it it's a stupid book they take it as history and it's not secular history history.

It's the eternal history. Something that is taking place forever and forever without change. The David hasn't changed in the unnumbered years and neither has the Lord. The same Jesus Christ. The same yesterday, today and forever. There is no change. And you think of someone one today, if you met Abraham Lincoln, people think of Abraham Lincoln as he lived a hundred years ago. Well, hasn't he aged in a world? Would you expect to meet the same man that was assassinated? Wouldn't he have aged? Well, not in God's history. David remains the eternal youth. And the father is the eternal father. the ageless one, without beginning, without end. And David never goes beyond the eternal youth, bearing witness to your fatherhood.

For you are God the Father, but you don't know it yet. You are sound asleep, as the man in my dream of last night was sound asleep. and seemingly from his argument independent of my perception of him. But I knew what I was doing. I was in complete control and I knew wakefulness and sleep and dream and apron and the flesh and and all these roundabout labyrinthines away of the reasoning mind. So I knew exactly what I'm looking at. But I knew I could not leave him, only for a moment I would explain. And then I said, and when I now awake, where do you think you will be? So I awoke, and the whole thing vanished.

to return where? to leave them on the outside? no to return to me all that I behold though it appears without it is within within my own wonderful human imagination of which this world of mortality is but a shadow it's the shadow world all these are but signs dropped from my eternity And they are telling me something. Everything is telling me something. So he begins his wonderful page and he said, there are only emblems. Do you know what an emblem is? An emblem is simply a visible object which reveals something other than what it appears to be. you go to Washington D .C. and you wonder I wonder if the president is in the White House well look to see if his emblem is flying if it's flying he is in residence he's not the flag and you're looking at a flag but it conveys a different idea when he is in residence that flag flies when he's not it is Lord so you see a flag and to the average person it's only a flag and they see an emblem so that's the president's emblem but they do not know what it signifies it signifies his presence when it flies over the White House like a battleship that carries or maybe it could be a destroyer it could even be something less than the destroyer who carries the admiral of the fleet depending where he wants to be sent to.

And the admiral's flag is flying there. That's where the admiral is. So these are emblems. These are signs dropped into this world of death from my eternity. So I who am the was the is and the The is to be. Descend. To the written word. To fulfill the written word. For the only emblem. And no one knows the meaning. Until the living word descends. So the word became flesh. And dwells within us. And as it became flesh and dwells within us. It gave meaning. To the word. for the word that we translate logos is translated as the word in the beginning was the word and the word was God and the word was God that word logos meant when it was used 2000 years ago what we mean today by the word reality so reality comes down you can't change it, it's forever and then assume flesh and the word was made flesh and dwelt within us.

Now to the scientific mind and the philosophic mind, these rational minds, it doesn't make sense. So let them go their way, it's perfectly all right. And if we confuse the wisdom of revealed truth with the knowledge of science, then we are in deep water. You'll never, never understand it. So let them go their way. Eventually they will have all that they can possibly do in what is known as knowledge. It hasn't gotten them anyway. So we get more and more gadgets, more and more things, more and more things to destroy the world. Whether we pollute it or we destroy it by bombs or do anything with it we're getting more and more the rich get richer and the poor get more of their own property and so we go on and on and not a person has arisen to solve the knowledge of man.

It doesn't matter because we aren't here for that purpose. We came down into this world. We are immortal beings to drain the cup to the very brink and to experience what it is to be in a world of death and decay. And the choral group sings your fall, may I tell you. They sing your fall into division when all of a sudden it all comes out in a whirl, and you see a whirl, not knowing it yourself, pushed out. They sing your fall into division. And all that was contained within you is completely externalized, as a world that differs from you. And you don't know it. But they also sing your resurrection into unity. When you bring them all back.

And they're all redeemed within you. You. So this is the story that I have been sent to tell you. I am not making it up. I am not manufacturing it. I am telling you exactly what has been revealed to me. So when I called her and gave her just a thought for the night, I know it would amuse her. And relative to her endures forever. And this morning she went under the knife. But through the knife she could dwell upon it until she from sheer exhaustion would sleep. And so, then I turn to this theme of unity in division. And they sing my fall. And the chorus is altogether heavenly, may I tell you. When they sing your resurrection into unity, what a choral group!

And then you come to the end of it all before you begin to tell it, and you feel yourself at the very end when the last one is completely transformed into perfection, and then you feel yourself imprisoned in a body. So this tangent was telling it in the most beautiful way. I only wish I could read Spanish to read it in its original tongue. But the translation into English is so altogether beautiful that I accept that and take it for what it is. But he wrote it in his own tongue. It's the only translation. And he based it on one little thought, the 14th verse of the first chapter of John. And the word became flesh and dwelt, as he said, among us.

But the word among is really the preposition in, and dwelt in us. That's where he dwelt. Christ in you is the hope of glory. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? If he is in me, where am I looking for him to come? He cannot come from without. There is no one coming from without; it's all from within, my own wonderful imagination. And that's where God is. So there is a river that makes glad the city of God, and this city He dwells in the midst of this river and this city, and it shall never be moved. His most I would say, high habitation, we are told, the habitation of the most high.

Then in that same 46th psalm it tells us: "Now be still and know that I am God." A man is still. He can't even still his mind. So, put you in a straight jacket is not to make you still. Can you still your mind to the point where it actually is so still that you can have the revelation? The mind is so busy all the time trying to work out something, trying to defeat what the other fellow said, trying to disprove him. And those who will come here for the purpose of disproving, like the epitome last night and he, my own being pushed out he is going to challenge my right to say that they're all myself pushed out and he was big and strong, not taller than I am, I'm 5 '11 and he was the same height but strapping, about 200 odd pounds, giant of a man and he was insolent but he is myself looking for the challenge and I said all right wait and see now if I awake where do you think you will be and so I awoke and I was alone I only outpicked it in my dream it's an egocentric world beautifully told in dream here I am out picturing my own being and that one to be redeemed I have to take him back I cannot leave him in the knowing grave so I have prepared the way for my banished ones to return and there is no other way to return to what?

to God the Father and who is God the Father? The I am in you. That's God the Father. You'll never get back and know that I am he. Until his son stands before you. And calls you father. And that son is David. Of biblical fame. And when you see David. He has an aim. He is the eternal youth. Eternity is personified as youth. Men not knowing that, they personify eternity as an old man with a sight gathering people. That's not the true personification of eternity, it's youth. The Ancient of Days, yes, has no beginning, no end, and yet you can call him old, you can call him young. He is the ancient of days. When you stand in his presence, here is the ancient of days.

Infinite love. That's what he is. He embraces you, incorporates you into his being, and you are one with the ancient of days who is the Lord God Jehovah. And that is Jesus. And now he sent you into the world to finish the cup. and you will drain it and you will drain it to the very end and you will know bitterness as well for joy and woe are woven fine a garment for the soul divine it's not all joy it's not all woe it's not all sweet it's not all bitterness in the Hebraic marriage ceremony there are two glasses of wine, one sweet, one bitter, or at least it's dry. But it's always more of the sweet.

And then they drink it, and when they drink it, then the rabbi steps upon the glasses and crushes them. That's the end of the drama. That's all symbolism, beautiful symbolism. but that's the story and that's life so I am telling you what I know from my own experience and this tonight may seem far out and yet I tell you if you dwell upon it while you are dwelling upon it trying to unravel the riddle earthly things are taking place to your advantage you put all your mind on unraveling a job, how to get more money out of it, how to make more out of it and all these things, it's a waste of time seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and all these things will be added unto you your heavenly father knows your needs so seek what he offers you leave these things alone and they'll all add up in the end, you're amazed how it happened.

It all comes into focus and you're reaping earthly benefits by giving your attention to the heavenly story. So here, by simply dwelling upon it, the answer came during the night. The outpicked itself. The one opponent, always opponent, and then to your own satisfaction because there's no one else to satisfy you're woke to find they all vanished anyway and where do they go? they can't go off into space; they return to you for one night you push them out and commune with them to explain what's taking place within, for only one man fell, and he carried with him all. Read the 82nd Psalm, and one man fell, and that one man carried all; and then in the fall he became fragmented, and this is the fragmented one man pushed out in the world, and that one man has to return, redeeming himself, self.

And that one is God. And there's nothing but God. So tonight, dwell upon it, as I did last night.

And if today you had a problem, and it was a financial problem, or some little problem in your household, it will all be solved, it will be resolved. But to put all of your attention upon that little problem and work on it in this little sphere of knowledge, where are you going to get? While you are doing God's work, Caesar's world collapses and reforms itself in harmony with what you're doing within you. I know from experience that's how it works. So here I can pinpoint that page. I know the man's name, if I pronounce the Spanish correctly, is Jorge Luri Borge. For those who speak Spanish, it's J -O -R -G -E, and then Luri, L -O -U -I -S, and V -O -R -G -E -S who departed this world only recently.

He writes beautifully. His prose is really poetry. And his native tongue is Spanish. Well, I can't speak Spanish or read Spanish. But if the translation into my tongue, which is English, is as beautiful as it is, what must be the original. Because don't tell me that translations do not lose something in the inflection, in the mood in the translation, because they do. When someone tells me that they can translate Shakespeare into German and make it more beautiful than you can in the original tongue of English, I start laughing. Any more than I would take the great German poets when they were thinking in those words and then translate them into English and expect the English translation to equal it.

No.

If one could read Hebrew with understanding, I'm quite sure that the Psalms would be so altogether different. Yet we have a marvelous translation in English. But if it's so great in English just imagine what it must be in the original town, when this inspired being is spinning his words, so I tell you: when you go out tonight, dwell upon it; when you say I am, that's God; there is no other God, and you will laugh at that thought if you're here for the first or second time. And it seems arrogant. Here is a little man on a platform trying to persuade me that my own wonderful human imagination is God creating the universe and sustaining it.

And so you laugh. It's perfectly all right. I will not retract one word that I said. I only wait, and time will prove me true. You will discover who you are; and when you discover who you are, you'll discover that you are the being I tell you that you are; you are God the Father; but you will not in eternity know that you are God the Father until his son David calls you Father. ¶There is no other way of knowing. So that's the way that man returns. So I have prepared the way for my banished ones to return. And I am the way. The way to what? The way to the Father. So when you see me, you will know the Father.

For the minute you see me, then you will know you are the Father. that's what he's saying you cannot see me and not know the Father for it takes the Son to reveal the Father and you aren't going to see Jesus, you're going to see David, because you are the Lord Jesus, that's the one that came down bringing with him his Son who will do all his will and you who done his will, you've played all the part and in the very end when you've drained the cup right to the very end, all the drain leaving this the break and had both the bitter and the sweet, then you will awake and you will depart this world, not to be restored to life in a world just like this, as the whole vast world will be, you will ascend to the point where you were before your descent.

¶But no one ascends into heaven but he who first descended. There's only one way down and one way up.
