FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE

FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE.

 

(Present on this evening were a group from Crozer Seminary, and others from various professional fields including teachers and leaders.)

 

PEACE, EVERYONE: Here we all are again! In the unity of the spirit, of mind, of aim and of purpose we are living in unison! By this great at-one-ment we are living in splendor! Aren't you glad! We are living in that for which our Constitution was granted I mean, the Constitution of the United States that we might have a more perfect union! They failed to bring about this Unity by the ballot. They failed to bring it about politically. But how marvelous it is to realize I have brought about the universal brotherhood of man and the conscious realization of the Fatherhood of GOD spiritually! and by the unity of the spirit, of mind, of aim and of purpose we are unified together socially, intellectually, politically and we are living in unison!

Observe the tranquility! not that the Constitution produced, but the Constitution spoke of this tranquility and this more perfect unity but we, the people, collectively and nationally and universally, are the fulfillers!

By this we shall have a Righteous Government, for truly did you say by composition as a reiteration and a constant rehearsal of the message that was handed down through Christendom,

'Joy to the world, the LORD has come!
Let earth receive her King!'


Then it goes on to say, as you remember,

'HE rules the world with Truth and Grace
And makes the nations prove
The Glory of HIS Righteousness
And the wonders of HIS Love!'


This is not a supposition, for this love, I have tangibilated it, I have materialized it, I have reproduced it and personified it so that you and all mankind might realize that which you once merely surmised and visualized, might be materialized! Aren't you glad!

We are now living it and expressing it and we are the personification of these desirable attributes, characteristics and blessings of GOD Personified, so that the unity of the spirit, of mind of aim and of purpose might bring an abolition to all discord and all inequality, all division, all incompetence and all untruth among us, and re-create an atmosphere of the Kingdom of GOD by the conscious realization of GOD'S Actual Presence.

 

Reason for Misery, Etc.

I believe ninety-nine percent of you here tonight realize GOD is Present! Aren't you glad! You all know GOD is Present, do you not?

This is not a supposition, yet it was the Commission of CHRIST to the world!

'HIS Name shall be called IMMANUEL, being interpreted, GOD is with us!'


Can you not see the mystery? And, beloved ones, that is the reason for the misery, disappointment and failure, warfare and bloodshed because they are not conscious of GOD'S Actual Presence! But I have caused millions and Millions to be Conscious of GOD'S Actual Presence, and such a conscious realization and recognition will solve your every problem! Can you not see the mystery? For that was the Commission of JESUS the CHRIST first to the Jews or through the Jews as the Meshiach the Messiah!

'HIS Name shall be called Immanuel, being interpreted, GOD is with us!'


Aren't you glad! If mankind could have only learned the mystery and the significance of such a conviction, none would be in lacks and wants and limitations; none would be in adverse and undesirable conditions; none would be living in disappointment and failure: but all would be living in the abundance of the fullness of the consciousness of Good and would find no space vacant of the fullness thereof, because GOD is present Can you not see the mystery?

It is simple but it is true! That is the keynote to salvation for you the keynote that will solve your every problem! that will adjust all matters satisfactorily for you! It will emancipate you from every undesirable condition; for that which I Am speaking, I Am speaking in My own recognition and conviction by My own and others' experience!

I have long since declared, yet it was a composition, though it may be deemed as a motto for your consideration but it is well worth considering for it is worth more than your weight in gold if you realize the significance of it:

'The spirit of the consciousness of the presence of GOD is the source of all supply and it will satisfy every good desire!'


That may sound simple and even apparently insignificant, but oh, how marvelous it is to be conscious of GOD's presence and to cause a conscious conviction to create such an atmosphere as this one in which we are living, that will solve every problem. What an atmosphere that will adjust matters satisfactorily for you!

Look over this vast audience! Just look over it! See how happy everybody is! See the glory of GOD being revealed, and peace and pleasure, as a sample and as an example for the world, of the world and the kind of world in which we shall live!

I appeal to MY fellow fraternity brethren of the cloth and others of the faith in GOD! let us live in this recognition! Let us let this be a sample and an example for us! Let us go about bringing about brotherhood! Let us unite more effectively! Let us stand together consolidated! Let us emphatically, definitely refuse to be separated! Just stand to this thought, if you will! -- you will have the key that will solve every problem: and not only yours but the problems of the whole world!

This is the Sample and the Example I have been demonstrating for lo, these many years through the days of depressions, panics and famines; and through the days of the extreme emergencies and inflations, and the like, I have blessed and blessed, and demonstrated the blessings so profoundly, until others have visioned and reproduced the thing that they have vividly visualized! Aren't you glad!

This is a practical course in psychology! -- a scientific, practical course in psychology! Every one of you may vision this brotherhood that I have produced and brought to fruition! It is reproducible, and it is re-personifiable! Every one of you have the privilege to re-personify that of which you presently realize! You can make a world like this in which you can live where there will be no more lacks, wants or limitations; there will be no more adverse or undesirable conditions; there will be no more division or discrimination and there will be no more Hitlerism, there will be no more Bilboism, there will be no more Fascism, but there will be the unity of the spirit, of mind, of aim and of purpose! -- Christianity, Democracy, Americanism, and Judaism as Synonymous!

We shall cause Americanism to be universally known as synonymous with Judaism and with Christianity and with Democracy! Aren't you glad!
