Sayville stone marker
The Stone Marker reads:
From this little center here in Sayville
The Declaration of Independence has been strengthened
and has been made a living reality
Jesus, the great Love Master, went from city to city, from town to town and from village to village nineteen hundred years ago, teaching and preaching as the Wayshower to Salvation. Is it not natural then, that the same CHRIST, FATHER DIVINE, should in this dispensation do the same, going from one place to another on what would be termed in this day "a lecture tour?"
The first stop on this tour was the little village of Sayville, which is significant in itself, and it was at the original banquet table of the LORD in the Home of our Savior in this modern day, that the beautiful Message on Righteousness and the Kingdom of GOD was given, following the testimony of one of the many who had motored to Sayville when they learned their Master was there in Person.
If only the eyes of men could be opened to see that only by learning to use all things rightfully according to the plan and purpose of their Creator, can everything desirable be attained and retained, for the Commandment was given to be obeyed!
'Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his
Righteousness, and all things will be added.'
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and FATHER'S Lecture follows.)
PEACE, EVERYONE!
"Here we all are throughout all eternity the same as I have been apparently in the beginning; but as I thought from that last speech of the last speaker, the thought she conveyed concerning seeking the Kingdom of GOD and His 'Right-use-ness,' of which by interpretation is the Kingdom or the Government of GOD and the 'Right-use-ness' of it; seek to have GOD to control all things that concern you, and all things that concern all things that concern the things that are of the earth as near as possible and allow the 'Right- use-ness' of this to also be sought after and to be your possession. That is the mystery.
The 'Right-use-ness' of the Kingdom of GOD, the 'Right-use-ness' in other words the 'Right-useful' purpose for the Government of GOD to control things what is the purpose of GOD taking control over you, of you and over you and of others? It is for the purpose of you being controlled rightfully and rightly, and all of the powers that be being brought into subjection to Righteousness 'Right-use-ness' of things, that they all might be used unselfishly, non-maliciously and non-prejudicially, but righteously. This is the mystery of the Righteousness you should seek after, and the 'Right-use-ness' of the Kingdom of GOD.
Men heretofore have sought the Kingdom of GOD, the Name of GOD, with 'un-right- use-ness' for an unrighteous and for a selfish purpose; that they might usurp authority with the name of the Kingdom of GOD, with the name of the Almighty, for a selfish purpose. But the 'Right-use-ness' of GOD'S Authority and Dominion and all GOD'S Reign on earth among men, should be put forth into expression in your simplest and in your most great consideration. That is the mystery of 'Right-use-ness' in other words, Righteousness not only for the sinners, but 'if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the sinners and the ungodly appear?'
The righteous are those who use their energy, mentality, ambition and all of their activities for a rightful purpose, for the purpose for which your energy, mentality and all of your ambition and your activities were created. They were not created nor devised by the Infinite One to be used selfishly, to be used un righteously, to be used merely for the purpose of any limited number of people. They were not for the purpose of being used for your respective lineage not even so much as for your respective nationality alone.
Your energy, your ambition and your activities were not inspired in you and created therein and sponsored by the Infinite One for you to use them even so much as for your respective nationality, as I afore said, nor for your respective limited race nor for your respective limited color. Any limitation or barrier that you put on your activities, on yourself and on your ambition, you are not using it and them righteously nor rightfully, but you are using yourself and all of those things that concern yourself unrightfully, un righteously, non-righteously; for you are using such ambition, such gifts, such talents, such intuition, such inspirations, such energy, such courage and such zeal and such activities with which you may be inspired, for a selfish purpose hence you are not using them for Righteousness' sake. For if you were using those tendencies and fancies and pleasures, ambition and gifts, talents and your activities unselfishly and for Righteousness' sake, for the 'Right-use-ness' sake of using them, why, you would use them as GOD uses His. You would use them with the same nature and the same characteristics of your Savior absolutely unselfishly; for GOD by nature is Impersonal. That is what I AM talking about!
Take on the nature and the characteristics of your Savior and bring into actuality the reality of GOD'S 'Right-use-ness' or Righteousness whichever, that GOD'S Righteousness might be enacted in you, in all of your activities and in all of your ambition and in all of your endeavors. Then and only then will the Kingdom of GOD come to you as an individual on earth among men when and wheresoever CHRIST shall have been enthroned on the throne of your mind to control yourself, your business, profession, your labor, your trade and all of your activities absolutely unselfishly and impersonally. This is the only way to produce and to bring into actuality in your lives and exhibit it and manifest it to others, the life of which you are now representing, of which you are stressing whichever, that the Life of CHRIST might be a living reality to all humanity.
How glorious it is to observe the mystery and to find yourselves seeking diligently the fundamentals for which you were created, the fundamentals for which
'God so lived the world that he gave his only
begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him
shall not perish, but have everlasting life.' Therefore, the very spirit of CHRIST
transmitted, should be in you reincarnated, and if others seek it in you, they
should find it if not in any other; for you are to be the reincarnators, the
reproducers and the materializers and the personifiers of that which you have
vividly visualized, until you shall have actually materialized and brought into
subjection that which you have so sincerely and conscientiously imagined, that
which you have so persistently sought after, that you might be partakers of GOD'S
Nature and of GOD'S Characteristics.
Then the 'Right-use-ness' or the right use of all things will be in evidence with you. You will not attempt to use your ambition, your energy, your mentality nor your desire neither will you attempt to use your activities for a purpose other than that for which they were created. They were created for you that you unselfishly might express, even as GOD expresses. GOD is Impersonal by nature and by His own creation, that others who are His creation should be partakers of His own identical nature. That is the mystery. When this is established within you, even if you observe it vaguely and if you are sincere in your endeavors, you will seek it diligently, that you as individuals might seek the 'Right- use-ness' of the Kingdom of GOD when you shall have called it to your individual shores. The Kingdom of GOD will come when you shall have rightfully sought it; when you shall have prepared the way of the LORD; when you shall have made your selection of your true and living GOD; when you shall have elected that One after the selection of Him; when you shall have enthroned Him on the throne of your mind. There and then GOD to you is LORD of lords and KING of kings, for CHRIST is enthroned on the throne of your mind.
On the throne of your mind in Righteousness, GOD will rule as LORD of lords and as KING of kings, and everything else therein or thereon shall be dethroned, and GOD shall rule and reign alone. This is the Work of your Savior. When your selection and election shall have been made effectively, when you shall have enthroned the CHRIST, Whomsoever He may appear to be, on the throne of your mind as LORD of lords and as KING of kings, and shall have dethroned each and every other thing, then and only then to you is GOD LORD of lords and KING of kings, where GOD alone shall reign.
Then the 'Right-use-ness' of GOD'S Kingdom will be put forth into expression! You will observe the mystery very distinctly and you will consider the purpose of CHRIST'S coming, that He might have all dominion and bring you and all things into subjection unselfishly, impersonally, un-individuatedly and unconfined to the mortal versions of men, where GOD alone is recognized as the Supreme. Then and only then have you received that of which you say you seek the Kingdom of GOD and His Righteousness. Can you not see the mystery?
The 'Right-use-ness' of every good and desirable expression, that these expressions might be a living reality in your daily activities, where your thoughts, your ideas and all of your opinions; yea, all of your mentality, all of your fancies, pleasures and all of your tendencies will be used absolutely unselfishly and righteously or rightfully, in their respective places for an absolutely unselfish purpose; for the good of each and all others this is the Kingdom of which you are seeking, the Kingdom of which I AM speaking, the righteousness, the same of which we are both speaking and stressing and bringing into outer expression by causing you to be advocators, emphasizers and demonstrators of that of which you are vividly stressing in your consideration.
How glorious it sill be universally when mankind the universe over shall have brought all self to an end; yea, shall bring an abolition to all self and selfish tendencies, that GOD alone might be seen and heard within you, expressing His unselfish Love from His own Nature, from His own Characteristics, absolutely Impersonal and non-selfish from any angle whatever!
Oh, it is a privilege to observe the mystery and to worship at His Holiness whilst GOD is with you! Truly might have I said, 'GOD is present everywhere and you are present with GOD here as well as there and there as well as here!' That is the mystery of GOD'S Omnipresence; but the great significance of it for you and for your consideration is to realize GOD'S Ever-Presence the same in words, deeds and actions, characteristics, spirit, life, love, power and expression when HE is apparently absent as when HE is apparently present. Then and only then can you be harmonious with ME in all things for circumstances and consequences and causes and effects will not cause you to change your version concerning GOD'S Presence in words, deeds nor in actions, nor even in the slightest emotion; but your emotions will be genuine the same at My Personal absence as in My Personal Presence.
Then to you GOD is a living reality, for you have made GOD in your own concept a living reality according to your conscious conviction by your religious conversion, which I might say, is by your being lifted from the mortal version to the Light of the Message I have so freely given, and having become to be partakers with ME of My Version, of My Ideas and of My Opinions! Then and only then AM I with you in reality effectively, where naught can harm you nor hurt you.
I cannot stress this thought too vividly, for it is essential for you to observe this mystery of Righteousness. The mere word 'Righteousness' the 'Right-use-ness' or the rightful use of such a thing seek the Kingdom of GOD and its rightful use, and use it for the rightful purpose for which it was used, for the rightful purpose for which it is, that it might be in harmony with ME and you might be in harmony with the same, that you might unify yourselves together with your LORD and your King and be ONE and ONE indeed!
How glorious it is to observe the mystery and to live in such a recognition! This mere thought of righteousness, if you get it effectively and express it from every angle, you will be expressing the 'Right-use-ness' of your physical senses; every one of your five physical senses will be in evidence expressing themselves effectively, absolutely unselfishly, rightfully used to and according to the purpose for which they were given.
Your five physical senses and every other expression, every organ, every sinew, every limb and every muscle, every vein and every bone, each and all of them in your physical bodily form should express righteously or rightfully in their respective rightful places and according to the plan and the purpose for which they were created. Can you not see the mystery?
When you call them into consideration and bring them into subjection, you will be as Paul was in his assertion when he made it concerning the mystery:
'I must take heed to my body and bring it into subjection, lest I myself, after I have preached to others, be a castaway.'
You are bringing your body and your organs in your body every muscle, sinew,
joint, limb, vein and bone and even every atom, fibre and cell ;of your bodily
form into subjection, that you might cause each and all of them to serve GOD
wholeheartedly completely once and forever, according to the purpose for which
they were created.
When they cease to function according to the purpose for which they were created, your physical system gets out of adjustment. Can you not see the mystery? Your physical bodies become to be sickly! Your physical minds are afflicted and the Spirit of GOD ceases to function apparently, because your organs are out of adjustment and your body becomes to be racked with pain. Can you not see the mystery?
Then you can see it is essential to have your organs adjusted satisfactorily by having your mentality adjusted according to the plan and purpose of the Almighty!
'Let this mind be in you that was also In Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation and took upon himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men; wherefore he became obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.'
After He was crucified, dead and buried, and descended to the lowest place of
the earth that man could be found, GOD raised Him from that place in consciousness
or consideration and exalted Him and gave Him a name above every other name the
equality of GOD put forth into expression by the equilibrium of the Spirit of
GOD'S Actual Presence, by carrying His Body through the spirit of analyzation
and equalization, by equalizing His Body with His Spirit and His Spirit with
His Body, through the process He was carrying it through for Perfection.
How glorious it is to live in such a recognition! When you live in it, you can see it was a sample for you, an example. It was a Message to show you just what you should do and the way you should go by copying after the fashion I have shown you.
Then I say, first seek ye the Kingdom of GOD and His 'Right-use-ness!' Can you not see the mystery? The 'Right-use-ness' or the rightful use of all of GOD and His Kingdom! GOD is Righteously used and Right, but if you do not use Him for a rightful purpose, to you GOD is not Righteous. That is the mystery. That is why I say, 'How careful ought you to live, with such religious fears.'
Retrace your thoughts back to the quotation as quoted a little while ago, where I said Jesus made Himself of no reputation and took upon Himself the form of a servant. Can you not see the only way for you is by the way of meekness and obedience, by becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross, which means to the death of the cross- grainedness of the things that come against you cross-grainedly to your mind, to your fancies, to your will and to your pleasures, cross-grained to your physical feelings, cross- grained to your personal wishes, cross-grained to your personal desires of which are in opposition, instead of being in harmony with them. That is the mystery.
Then I say, build upon this foundation. Be substantiated in faith and unshaken in confidence and live in this recognition continually and lo, I will be with you from this angle of expression, just whatsoever I AM expressing and in whatsoever way I AM expressing, in Majesty, Love and Mercy, in success and in prosperity, in the perfectible way of expression, in the Perfect Picture, in the perfect likeness, in the perfect image. So will you be partakers of the same, even the characteristics and the nature you will be reproducers of the same; for, 'As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.'
Get these thoughts established in your minds vividly. Concentrate on them with the spirit of sincerity. Live it and express it and express them continually, until you become to be the actual partakers of GOD'S Nature, of GOD'S Characteristics, of GOD'S Life, of GOD'S Love and of GOD'S identical Spirit as it was in the Body called Jesus. By the Spirit Only
When this is done, you will be at a place in consciousness where you will know, with or without a bodily form, that which you may desire will be accomplished for you and you will not have to do anything to bring these desirable results about, saving to live the Life according to the Life and the Teaching of the CHRIST; for what said the scripture, yea, the Message concerning the mystery?
'It is not by power nor by might, but by my spirit.'
Now, the Spirit will do it and will do it more effectively the nearer you come to your destination, for what said the Scripture again concerning the mystery? 'Man's extremity is God's opportunity.' When you shall have extremiated yourselves individually, severally, collectively and universally, why then and only then will GOD have a chance for expression effectively. When you shall have come to your extremity universally, then GOD will have a chance for expression universally. But if GOD only has a chance for expression according to the average expression of life, why, GOD would only have a chance for expression individually at intervals here and there and maybe some other place fifty or a thousand miles away. But when this recognition shall have been established that you, as individuals, are at your extremity and have come to your destination universally, then GOD will have a chance for expression individually, severally, collectively, nationally and universally. I thank you.
