Madison Avenue Residence, N.Y.C.
As many visitors and guests were present on this occasion, FATHER gave a general invitation to one and all to speak, if they so desired. After many responded, FATHER delivered a very timely and scientific Message well worth the consideration of all intelligent, or so-called intelligent people, especially those who may be psychologically or scientifically inclined.
As has often been explained by FATHER concerning the Principle of Mathematics and the Invention of Electricity and the impracticalness of both, unless they are brought to fruition and made practical for the benefit of all humanity, even so is it with Human Intelligence and the Spirit and Life and all of the ALMIGHTY. Both are IMPERSONAL, but yet personifiable. If a person can become to be the personification of Intelligence and be called "Intelligent," how much more logical is it for GOD to be personified in a Personal Bodily Form? If the many gifts, talents and professions of today were not expressed in bodies, they would be useless and could just as well stay in the invisible; but they are all embodied and put to use on the material plane. Even so is GOD embodied in a Beautiful Tabernacle and dwelling among the children of men, that they can see HIM and know and love HIM as HE is, in HIS Personal Body. They may not want to accept HIM and adore HIM, but they must eventually, if they expect to stay here with HIM and enjoy HIS Presence and HIS Blessings and breathe HIS Breath of Life! And even though mankind has given everything a body except GOD, GOD has taken it upon Himself to give Himself a Body as it pleased HIM, and whether men like it or not, HE HAS ONE! For Your Personal Body You have given to humanity.
Dear Savior we thank Thee!
(The foregoing statements come from the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks as follows:)
PEACE, EVERYONE! Here we all are again and there I sit and stand. In the unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose to you I Come, the same as when I first Came! I would just like to say at this instance, we have visiting friends as usual--we want to give them a change to speak if they care to move according to our custom and speak according to same and I will be your Endorser and Co-Worker, in thought and in mind, if you will allow ME to. I thank you.
(The testimony of Dr. Broadman and a lady from New Zealand precedes FATHER'S Message and is recorded prior to this typing)
PEACE, EVERYONE! Good Health, Good Will and a Good Appetite, Life, Liberty and the reality of Happiness! These and all other Blessings among you I have established. I would just like to say to our visiting friends, it is a privilege to be here not necessarily here in this place geographically, but to be here in this state of consciousness where I AM! A place where GOD ALONE REIGNS as LORD of Lords and as KING of Kings and HE is bringing all material things and powers into subjection to HIM, that all creation might recognize GOD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE among men, for "HIS Name shall be called IMMANUEL, being interpreted GOD IS WITH US."
I have declared by composition as a motto for consideration--
'The spirit of the consciousness of the presence of god is the source of all supply, and it can and it will, yea it does satisfy, every good desire.'
Every desire can be bountifully supplied and abundantly satisfied by the recognition of the Presence of your GOD and by harmonizing with HIS Spirit, HIS Mind, HIS Nature and HIS Characteristics, for they are all IMPERSONAL even as GOD is IMPERSONAL!
As I was saying a little while ago, I do not desire to monopolate things for MYSELF Alone. All of the Joy of the Spirit from the Spiritual and Mental Realm and every unfoldment of this great Spiritual advancement, they are all IMPERSONAL even as GOD is IMPERSONAL. Hence the word PEACE, the Spirit of PEACE, the Spirit of LOVE, the Spirit of UNITY, HAPPINESS, SUCCESS and PROSPERITY of which I AM--they are all IMPERSONAL and can be re-personified even as I AM the Personification of these desirable expressions. It is a privilege to observe it!
I often say, if you are an intelligent person, you are not an intelligent person because of your physical body, nor because of your complexion nor color! Intelligence is as IMPERSONAL as the invention of Electricity and Electricity itself in expression. GOD is IMPERSONAL by Nature and all of HIS Spirit, HIS Life, HIS Love and all of HIS Characteristics, they are all IMPERSONAL. But I say, how marvelous it will be when all those who are in authority, the executives universally, shall have reincarnated and reproduced and brought ME to fruition in them!
I do not care whether I AM in THIS BODY, the other body or what body, as this Principle is a phenomenon with or without a body that shall have access and shall rule all nations of the earth and bring them into subjection to itself, which is GOD in or out of the Flesh! Aren't you glad? It is such a privilege to observe the Mystery and to mentally and spiritually be absolutely unselfish in your concepts concerning the Mystery and care not for the person of anyone, even yourself.
When this shall have been established in the earth universally, things will work harmoniously and there will be no more disaster. How glorious it is to observe the Mystery, to see the LOVE of GOD unfolding it to you. I have long since declared and I re-declare and continue to declare the same--
'Wheresoever a king reigns, there is where his kingdom is.'
If you allow CHRIST to descend to the throne of your mind and be enthroned thereon and rule and control you and your own and all things that concern you, there and then the Kingdom of GOD has come unto you! Can you not see the Mystery?
Then I say, Politically, Socially and Intellectually, Morally and otherwise, we shall establish the reality of the Kingdom of our GOD. Can you not see the mystery? GOD is being enthroned on the throne of the minds of men to rule and to control them, in and over all things. Can you not see the mystery? Wheresoever a king rules, wheresoever a king reigns, there is where his kingdom is. Take these thoughts to consideration! Select and elect this Principle of which I AM stressing. If you do not reckon it as MYSELF as a Person, consider--if it is not a Person, it is a Principle that you cannot comprehend!
It is a matter of impossibility for you to comprehend it. It is a Principle that transcends your understanding. Therefore it is well to say and well to know; "Wheresoever a king reigns, there is where his kingdom is." With or without a Bodily Form, GOD is ruling on the throne of the minds of the children of men! I AM inculcating and reincarnating this Principle in them, that they might be partakers of the Nature and the Characteristics of your Savior and be the reproducers of the identical and bring it to fruition universally, and when this is established we shall have a Righteous Government and the kingdoms of this world shall be the Kingdom of our GOD and HIS CHRIST.
What a privilege to observe the mystery and to see what GOD is actually doing among this people, how the Spirit of MY Presence is actually reviving, inspiring and renovating the lives and the affairs of the children of men, bringing them into subjection to this ONE Principle--this Standard as I have stressed from time to time--if not a Person to be considered, in other words, it is not a Person to be considered, but a Principle, and the Principle being manifested Personally. It is for the purpose of convincing the conscious mentality of humanity that there is a reality in the Principle that I have lifted as a Standard! But if you stop and consider, all things that are expressive, they are all IMPERSONAL even as GOD is IMPERSONAL.
You may look upon ME, a good many of you and say, "He thinks, or they say HE IS GOD." Just the same as they say you are an intelligent man--how can a man be intelligent? What is intelligent about the man, if it is not that phenomenon that is called Human Intelligence; something that is incorruptible, something that is undefilable, something that is not the person but something that the person inculcates and reincarnates and brings to fruition within himself mentally and spiritually or scientifically, until he can use or express Human Intelligence expertly and scientifically--then that person is called an intelligent person, but the person is not intelligent! Let that intelligence come out of the person, and he will not be intelligent, any more than I would be GOD if I come out of MY Body! We have men of profession, labor and trade, we have men of every profession as co-workers, participators, onlookers and representatives directly and indirectly. Suppose I would call your attention to a familiar one and a familiar name, yea the person being familiar among you, quite commonly known among you--Dr. Broadman. Why is he Dr. Broadman? He is a doctor. Why is he a doctor? Because he has inculcated and reincarnated the spirit and the understanding of Medicine and he has developed himself mentally and spiritually, which is to say, Intellectually he has studied for that, and he is a physician, he is a doctor! The person is a doctor! How can a person be something that is IMPERSONAL? That is just the way GOD is. GOD is GOD IN A BODY, just like a doctor is a doctor IN A BODY!
When the development and the degree is conferred upon the individual and he passes and receives his diploma, he is a physician. "Why, that man is a physician." But yet without the Principle, without the Spirit, without the Understanding, without the Life, he would be a dead man; but with it in him, why he is a physician, and that is the way GOD is. GOD HAS A BODY JUST LIKE A DOCTOR HAS! Aren't you glad? AREN'T YOU GLAD?
Just the same as Intelligence has a BODY, and when a man imbibes and develops the spirit of Intelligence and brings such an unfoldment to fruition, until he can express it expertly and intelligently or scientifically, why that is an intelligent person, isn't it? Isn't that common sense? Well, that is just the way it is. Intelligence is just as much IMPERSONAL as GOD is. Aren't you glad? And GOD is just as much Personal as Intelligence is!
If you can be intelligent and you are a person, even so can GOD be as a Person, as each of these two great expressions are IMPERSONAL! Can you not see the mystery? The Principle of Mathematics, when it is brought to fruition in an individual and that individual can use the Principle expertly and scientifically from every angle expressible, he is a mathematician. That man is a mathematician. You cannot figure with him, he is a mathematician. "What are you talking about, man, why, he is an expert accountant." Well, sure he is because he has developed and brought to fruition the spirit and the nature and the understanding of that Principle until he can use it expertly, scientifically and accurately, he is a mathematician. Aren't you glad?
Imbibe the Spirit of CHRIST, HIS Life and HIS Nature and HIS Characteristics and bring all of HIM--not a part of HIM to fruition, but all of HIM to fruition in you, and I will through others tell you what you are. When this shall have been fulfilled, all will be able to see and know even as I do!
Now I would like to say concerning our assembling here this morning. This is a matter of course, a daily occurrence. This is MY private Residence. It is just this way every day when I AM in the City, when I serve MY daily Banquet. We are going to the Rockland Palace a little later on, the old Manhattan Casino, 155th Street and 8th Avenue. At this place we have today, on each Sunday, unless we are otherwise called off, the regular public meeting. All people are welcome to come there, as many as it can accommodate. We can only accommodate there, by closely standing together as you all are here, around twelve thousand more or less; but you are welcome to attend the meetings and you are welcome to attend these private assemblies when they gather together to see ME serve the Banquet daily right here, when I AM right here in the City Personally. You are welcome to come and see, and if you are a psychologist, or if you are Scientifically or Psychologically inclined or inspired, come and take up a course in Practical Psychology on the subject of Supply and visualize the abundance of everything desirable. I will assure you, you can find it here if you desire to demonstrate a full supply, for the thing you vividly visualize you tend to materialize. Aren't you glad? Visualize the Abundance of the Fullness of all GOOD THINGS continually in consciousness, and sub-consciously you will find your prayers (your desires) will be heard and answered bountifully, and you will not have room to receive the Blessings according to the Scripture, as predicted by the minor prophet. I thank you!
