FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE at the Tarrytown Estate
Many visiting friends, speakers, teachers, ministers of the Gospel and others beside the followers and friends, jammed the auditorium to its full capacity, and the overflow stood lining the hallway outside, listening to the activities going on over the loud speaker system which is extended throughout both buildings. This is a matter of course to us, for where ever and whenever FATHER is Personally Present, there the masses gather, for HE carries with HIM the Abundance of the Fullness of every Good thing!
This marvelous Message given by our LORD on this occasion stirred the hearts and minds of all present, and these dynamic Words from the Powerhouse of Salvation shall go forth like lightning and touch the hearts of the children of men universally, and they shall feel the reaction of them according to the positive or negative vibrations, which they carry.
However, it is the glorious Mission of our Savior to bring one and all together in the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, that we might dwell in Unity and in Love, expressing forever the Brotherhood of man and the FATHERHOOD of GOD!
Blessed Savior, we truly thank THEE!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which is recorded the song sung just before FATHER arose to speak.)
'Come on, Americans, as one, declare we our victory!
Stand forth and wave your flag triumphantly,
Declaring all nations shall have Peace!
We'll win if we obey the Laws of GOD by doing what's
right and doing our part; we will win by being square,
being to others just and fair; then undefeated stands America!'
(FATHER speaks as follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! Once again I have arisen in the verification of that little composition. The thing that stresses the average American mind is to win the victory over the enemy, in which the winning is the great thing and it is the great essential. You will win by doing just what I said in that little composition. But as you have heard tonight, you will win by conquering your worst enemy and that enemy is within you! The internal enemy -- when he is conquered, the external enemy is conquered automatically!
As an abstract expression as a sketch and a reflection of the mystery of which I AM speaking, I AM daily demonstrating in these, My People, giving them the internal victory over self, over vice and over crime from the within. They have conquered their own will and find themselves individually conquering many cities (Aren't you glad!) for it is written,
'He that conquereth his own will is greater than he that taketh a city!'
You read in Biblical history where it has been declared,
'One of you shall chase a thousand and two shall put ten thousand to flight!'
That is the mystery of conquering your own will. By conquering self, vice and
crime and aggression and all expressions of aggression within, you have conquered
your external enemy automatically and you have won the victory universally! You
have conquered depressions, limitations, adverse and undesirable conditions,
because you have conquered your worst enemy within YOU! Aren't you glad!
Then I say, it is a privilege to live in the Actual Presence of GOD, for GOD in the consciousness of any man will solve every problem for him and will give him the victory over undesirable conditions, whether they be sickness, afflictions or depressions! You need not fear depressions, panics, famines or any such condition, for if GOD is with you, GOD Himself is the VICTORY!
Just look over this vast audience! As usual, in you and with you I stand as an abstract expression, as an external demonstration of your mental and spiritual conception, for your daily and outward expression expresses your mental and spiritual conception, the Unity of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose and the abstract expression of that Universal Brotherhood that your Chief Executive has called for! Aren't you glad!
At and in these times of the crises and of the great upheaval of nations of nations, and of languages of the languages and of the tongues of the people, GOD in Mercy and Compassion is speaking through the executives and has spoken through your Chief Executive -- the Chief Executive of our great country -- and requested that this be the time that we should universalize ourselves in bringing about that UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD of man; bringing about that UNIVERSAL FAMILY! But I did not have to wait until the crises, neither to be threatened by the aggressor nations to be invaded, not even so much as the threat of being raided; but oh, how glorious it has been that I have established the Sample and the Example for the post-war days!
Just the way you sit and stand, just the way you are, so shall I have it from shore to shore and from land to land! All of the children of men shall be United Together! There shall be No Division among the people, for the Mouth of the LORD has declared it! I came to bring them together, and in the post-war days and in future America we shall be standing in UNISON together! There shall be no so-called races, creeds nor colors (Aren't you glad!) but all will represent the Human Race; and eventually not only the Unification of the Three Americas will be a Reality, but the Unification of All Nations mentally and spiritually, and we will have the United Nations of the World! THERE WILL BE NO DIVISION AMONG ANY OF US!
Tell them I said, come and get a slight glimpse of the mystery of how beautiful it will be, for I AM HE, you have declared! ("Yes, yes! FATHER Dear," shouted the audience.)
'Out of One Blood GOD created (or formed) all nations for to dwell upon the face of the whole earth!'
Therefore, by nature I would be inclined to automatically bring you together
according to the hereditive and original creation! Can you not see the mystery?
I AM inclined to do it; I can't help it, because you declared,
'Out of One Blood GOD formed all nations for to dwell upon the face of the earth;'
and by nature I would be inclined to do it and I would not be expressing MYSELF
effectively if I did not bring all nations and languages, tongues and people
together!
I have long since declared, "Just as I have it on My immediate Staff so shall I have it from shore to shore and from land to land, and I shall bring an abolition to all division, for where there is division there is strife, and where there in Union there is Strength!" That is the reason we cannot fail! It is a matter of impossibility. It is a matter of impossibility to be in lacks, wants or limitations so long as we stand together and live in unison, for it is the mystery of supply!
I need not say more, but we shall have a Righteous Government, and the Righteous Government is as was in the beginning of creation:
'Righteousness and Judgment are the habitation of His Throne . . . !'
We shall bring you back as you were in the beginning of the creation; they were
all of One Language and of One Speech! Can you not see the mystery? Instead of
teaching different languages, after a while you will be speaking One Language.
We will be teaching and substantiating One Language in the minds and the vocabularies
of all humanity and they all will be willing and ready to speak plainly, for
I will speak to them in perfect broken English! Aren't you glad! The stammering
tongues will be ready to speak plainly! The prophet spoke of it. Can you not
see the mystery?
I AM bringing you together to learn the language intellectually and scientifically as a linguist teacher, so that you might be willing and ready to speak plainly! Aren't you glad!
I know these are hard sayings but yet they are true! Once upon a time I would not even speak especially or stressfully concerning the English language, as though it was for fear that I might speak selfishly and be expressed or considered as being selfish because of the language of which we speak. But not so! The language that is the most appropriate language for all civilization and the most perfect language of expression that has developed the CHRIST and brought the CHRIST to fruition, that is the language that shall be reckoned through all civilized-speaking people, because this nation under GOD was predestined to have a New Birth of Freedom (Aren't you glad!) and because this nation was the nation that organized and set apart a law as a Constitution whereby man could serve GOD according to the dictates of his own conscience!
By being governed by your highest intuition organizationally and collectively and individually, you have had the privilege to bring forth the CHRIST within and among you to Fruition to give you the Victory over every difficulty. For this cause the English is being spoken in perfection by the Spirit of My Presence in the hearts and lives of millions who have been awakened by having the privilege of Freedom to serve GOD according to the dictates of their own conscience, to bring forth the CHRIST within to fruition by being governed by their highest intuition and by moving voluntarily and volitionally.
A chicken cannot hatch unless it moves intuitively! Aren't you glad! You could not bring forth the CHRIST to fruition within if you were prohibited from expression and prohibited from living according to your own religious conviction. Therefore, the CHRIST within could not be brought to fruition and it would be a matter of impossibility for CHRIST to move within you volitionally and intuitively, for you would keep Him bound by tradition that would be a barrier of prohibition!
Tradition will keep the CHRIST down! Can you not see the mystery? Tradition and Conventionality will set as a barrier of prohibition and will prohibit you from speaking unless you speak according to custom. Therefore, the CHRIST within, your highest intuition and your volunteer volition, will be bound as a barrier of prohibition. Therefore, it is a matter of impossibility to bring the CHRIST within you to fruition if you are bound by conventionality and tradition!
Tradition would not tell you to get up and speak without a manuscript; and conventionality would pick it up and say, "That is right, you should not speak without a manuscript, you might make some grammatical errors!" Conventionality might say, "Your diction is broken and you might make some grammatical errors;" therefore, you could not speak volitionally and be governed by your highest intuition within you! Therefore, you would be bound by tradition, and conventionality would bind you so to the manuscript it would be a matter of impossibility for you to freely speak and move volitionally; therefore, the CHRIST would not be brought within to fruition, therefore, it would be a matter of impossibility to see your Savior!
You know these sayings are true! ("Yes, they are!" shouted the masses.) When you are bound by conventionality, tradition and orthodoxy it is a matter of impossibility to express volitionally and observe and manifest the CHRIST within you, for these things will bind you and will veil the CHRIST from others within you and you may not even feel so good!
You know you never felt so good speaking by manuscript and according to conventionality, according to tradition, as you do when you are speaking volitionally and moving intuitively! Because when you speak volitionally and move intuitively and be governed by your own highest intuition, why, the CHRIST moves within you, and He, the CHRIST within you, gives you the victory!
You have heard men say in sin at times, "If that man (or woman) tells me such-and-such a thing or does certain things to me, I will put my religion upon the shelf and do what I have to do to them and then I will go back again and pick it up!" You know it is true! And since the "other fellow" has striven to do so much to Christianity, I put My Conventionality and Tradition upon the shelf and do what I have to do to the "other fellow" and then I will go back and get it again!
When I have done everything I have to do to the "other fellow" and put him out of commission completely, I can go back and get tradition and conventionality and all diction and grammatical expressions if I desire to! I can go back and get the grammatical expressions where I make grammatical errors to carry out My Plan and Purpose to overcome the enemy; I can go back and get the grammatical expressions and use them scientifically and grammatically according to diction if I wish to. Aren't you glad? We can use them all if we desire to, but what's the use of fighting the "other fellow" with grammatical expressions? Make all the grammatical errors you wish to and leave tradition behind until you have conquered him, and then you can go back and get diction and grammatical expressions if you wish to, and no longer make grammatical errors! I thank you.
