The Bridgeport, Connecticut Extension
Continuing to inspire mankind with the scientific Truth of True Christianity and Religion as a whole, FATHER DIVINE, who is the Author and Finisher of all things, brings to the attention of HIS Followers, hearers and friends once again, but even in broader and greater scope, the unreality and nothingness of the imaginary Heaven that has been talked about and taught by the Religions from our earliest existence.
When all mankind universally is brought to this recognition and each and everyone realizes even as we do know, what a glorious world this will be! For then indeed will we be living in Heaven; for there will be nothing expressing other than or out of the Heavenly State of expression — that place in consciousness that is the desire of everyone's heart to reach. For in no other place is there to be found the Peace and Rest that has been long longed for and sought after by restless and chaotic generations of past and present times.
Before speaking, FATHER'S Message delivered at Stone Ridge, N. Y., on Friday afternoon, March 25th, time 3:20 P. M., published in the New Day of March 31st was read. At the completion of the reading of same, one of the hearers mentioned the fact that the point FATHER brought out in the Mystery of the Condescension of GOD to the earth plane was, to her, an entirely new angle. This statement, however, could be applied generally; for no one was found nor could be found to loose the Book of the Seven Seals or rather the Mysteries that have been hidden for ages, until now. FATHER DIVINE is that ONE, and to HIM we give all Homage, Praise and Honor.
FATHER, we thank YOU.
FATHER speaks as follows:
According to the astrologists, everybody is born under some certain star, and according to the wise men, the astrologers of the East. Those in this day from India, are commonly known as the Masters, of which I term to be the Master inculcated and incarnated and reincarnated in many bodies; therefore, the Master being reflected and manifested in many bodies, would be called the Masters. Hence the Masters, as they are termed to be by modern civilization, of the far East, they are great astrologists and they study astrology to tell distinctly.
At certain times, at certain birthdays, individuals are born; they know what star they were supposed or allegedly born under; they bring out what character or characteristics such individuals will express. Therefore, in the day and in the days of those kings this star came forth into expression to the consideration of the astrologists, as being termed the wise men of the East.
They sought to find the star, where the direction of the star pointed out, portrayed the way where there was a King to come, through and by and under that certain star. And so it was according to the record as given, the Child was born in Bethlehem of Judea.
So it is a wonderful privilege to know; but words at this time are inadequate in the human language to explain as distinctly as I understand it. The minds of MY hearers, followers and friends are inadequate to conceive the idea and the significance of the Mystery and the Mysteries I AM revealing. But as they advance scientifically, inspirationally, intellectually, socially, physically and otherwise, by all of these divers expressions of GOD in humanity I will teach them Wisdom and will advance them in understanding whereby they will be eventually able to understand it. But it is a foretaste of it I am revealing when I AM bringing out these Mysteries and the reflection of them.
I AM telling the people there is something better further on. As you live it and express it and stress it in your memory I will make it more legibly discerned; I will cause it to be forever more legibly discerned and the time will come when all mankind will see ME as I am. Then and there they all will understand.
I have often thought along that line and I have spoken of it slightly from time to time; but the minds of those who are spiritually awakened have not been scientifically advanced spiritually in the advanced civilization to a degree whereby they could receive the message concerning the Mystery I am now revealing. Therefore, I reveal it as fast and as brief as they can receive it, as MY followers, hearers and friends advance scientifically and intellectually from an inspirational and scientific spiritual point of view. For we are living in an advanced spiritual civilization as well as merely that which is commonly termed an advanced civilization, and the less we know, humanly speaking, according to the mortal version after the ability and the skill and understanding of man, the more expressive is the Omniscience of GOD in them; and those who are least in consideration, least in information, least in skillful ability, intellectual ability or any other limited expression according to man's version — the less you are in these different degrees of unfoldment the more expressive will GOD be within you, and more distinctly will you bring forth the Christ to fruition and openly express HIM.
How glorious it is to observe the Mystery! Because of the closing of Bibles and hymn books, inspirations, compositions, revelations and visions of others, the Door of Heaven is opened. Because of the relaxation of the conscious mentality and the stilling of yourself as a person, the more distinctly GOD reveals Himself to HIS children and more plainly HE comes forth into expression that they might observe HIM.
The Heaven was searched as well as the earth and you could not find one even in the Heavenly state of expression to open the Book and take the seals there off and reveal the Mystery of GOD. By the most insignificant of your most simple and most condescended thought, out from under such as come forth — such an insignificant condescended thought came I out from, under the Altar of your heart to look on the Book and open the Book, the Bible, and take the seal there off; that the Mysteries might be revealed of GOD.
This could not be accomplished by the mortal version. It was essential for Bibles and hymn books, visions, revelations, compositions, predictions and all information that was on the surface and observable and instructable to the conscious mentality, to cease in action that GOD might reveal HIS Mysteries; therefore, the Mystery is now revealed and I have loosed the seven seals.
I am merely waiting to reveal deeper mysteries as the believers, followers and friends advance more scientifically and relax more their conscious mentality and still themselves more distinctly, that I might reveal within them the things that have been hidden from the foundation of the world. Aren't you glad!
None were found worthy. There was not one found worthy to even look on the Book, but when I searched, I found as though it was One coming out from under the Altar of your heart. They had been keeping him down in Adam, bound in the chains of darkness, of misunderstanding, in the mortal version of humanity, until I resurrected HIM and called HIM forth into expression and told HIM to come out in the open and cause Himself to be made observable. And when HE came out HE took the Book out of the educators' hands; HE loosed the seals thereof and revealed the Mysteries of GOD to them. Aren't you glad!
Then I heard one say of your present experience — if not yours, MINE:
"My cup runneth over with joy"
If you are just a little scientifically inclined, I will go up in the world of science and in the versions of the religions and bring all of the mysteries down, that you might both enjoy and understand them, and I will unify them together as I did capital and labor, that science and invention might be unified together with Spirituality and true Christianity; they shall be married to each other. Aren't you glad!
I have been speaking in parables in the actuated words of expression in mortality, telling the people in the parable, concerning the mystery of the Spirit, as I could speak only in their language for them to understand. They could not understand it unless I speak in their language — for those who are in mortality and in mortal consciousness I speak in parables.
For this cause
"man should leave father and mother and cleave unto the wife; the twain should be one flesh. Nevertheless I speak concerning CHRIST and the Church."
Aren't you glad! I am bringing science and invention and all scientific discoveries to the surface. I am bringing spirituality and true Christianity together and unifying science and invention and spirituality and true Christianity together, that the twain of these two great expressions might be one expression, and that will bring the earth to the Heaven and the Heaven to the earth.
"And they shall no longer be twain, but shall be one flesh."
How sayest thou then,
"The flesh profiteth nothing"?
"They shall be one flesh" — for the words I have spoken, they are Spirit and they are Life and the words I have spoken, they are the Word of GOD, and the Word was in the prediction, "made flesh and dwelt among us."
Then I say, to behold the glory was for the Word to be made flesh. You can only behold the glory as I bring into observation and into materialization that which was spiritual, that which was invisible, that which was mental; bring it to your conscious consideration of the materialized expression of such that you might realize it.
That is why I say:
"That the twain might be made one flesh."
I am making material the mental and spiritual things and your mental and spiritual concepts concerning spiritual things. I am actually materializing them and causing those things to be made flesh, where once they were mere mind and spirit. I thank you.
(One of those who was present mentioned at this time, he had been told and understood, people born in the month of June were high strung by nature; however, on this point he thanked FATHER for more enlightenment. In reply FATHER spoke on thuswise):
Well, according to the different versions of the different astrologists who bear record of such — while yet I am speaking only in their language from the different angles of expression, for there are thousands of persons who live in that version; therefore, I will speak to them in the language in which they are living or speaking. Can you see the Mystery? Although those things do not necessarily be a reality, but they may be true according to their versions; therefore, I speak to them in their respective languages that they might understand it. From whatever angle of expression an individual might be functioning or has functioned, through MY Condescension I will reach him. That is the Mystery. Oh, it is Wonderful!
But from a scientific point of view, psychologically speaking, I could stress scientifically and psychologically the thought that would bring out something to stress, as if though it would be convincing to the conscious minds: There is a reality in living beings in other planets. Then, those who are born under those certain stars could not doubt, by drawing from Venus, Jupiter and Mars, some of the characteristics and the nature of the inhabitants of those stars they do have conscious life existing or living there.
From a scientific point of view, I will call forth for consideration and I will call for information, the nearest planet to you, the moon — it bears witness with you, does it not? . . . or you bear witness with it. The human system expresses according to physical science, with the moon, and with the tides. If that be true by one of the nearest planets observable, then it must be equivalently the same by other far-distant planets, if that is merely an illustration, a sample and an example. It must be then, according to that — according to science, that such individuals who are born under certain planets or at times when certain stars are the most expressive, are somewhat inclined to reflect some nature or characteristics of that particular planet. Yet, I have not said definitely that it is a reality, but I have stressed it according to man's understanding, especially according to the astrologists and according to science. That is the Mystery!
Hence, in speaking in their language I will draw parables according to their own language that they might understand it. A real spring could be a deep well if you dig it deep enough, could it not? I have heard them say: "Dig deep and build sure."
A little shallow spring at times may be just almost as a little run — may not be deep enough for you to use a tea cup and dig up enough water — if you would not have a hole deep enough for that, if the spring is on the surface or comes up to the surface, don;t you see. If it comes straight up, the little spring there might be a little shallow apparently because it may run off, especially if it comes through the rocks. But if you could dig deep enough, two or three hundred feet, and that spring continues to run in, after a while the well would be filled with water if there was no outlet for it to go out, but come in, until it gets to the top and then the spring would have to go on as the surface springs do; they usually have a run to flow.
So if you dig deep, the flow of the Spirit that is coming in from the invisible realm, bringing wisdom, knowledge and understanding, your cup will overflow. Not only your cup will overflow, but in you will be wells of water springing up to everlasting Life.
All of this I have said and the thoughts I have conveyed are Evangelical, in short, according to the Gospel; for the Life and the Teaching of CHRIST and the Gospel and the Epistles will bear witness of what I am telling you. I thank you.
(FATHER at this time had read from the lateat issue of The New Day under date March 31st, HIS Message Delivered in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Wednesday afternoon, March 23rd, Time 3:26 P.M. published on page 6. By these marvelous words of Scientific Truth, a comment came forth to consideration from one of the hearers, saying she thought it an injustice to keep such information hidden from the people. The information she had reference to of course, was the scientific discovery of the Twin Plasket Stars and other such information FATHER revealed in HIS glorious Message, that HE through HIS spiritual and Peace Mission research unearthed and brought to the surface for the consideration of the general masses. Responding to same, FATHER continued, speaking as follows:)
It is; but yet as you say, it is a great injustice to keep those things hidden from the general public; but they do it for a selfish purpose. Naturally if these mysteries be revealed and taught and studied and learned distinctly, the same as I say I have it; but words of the human language cannot yet explain it according to the ability and understanding of MY hearers and followers to receive it. I am only explaining a part of it, but if it was taught in the schools and learned by the students and children of men generally, they would lose sight of their imaginary Heaven; Bibles and hymn books would be closed and they would recognize science and invention and the spiritual inspirations as Supreme.
They would recognize these expressions Superior to that of religion; therefore the churches would be closed in the way they have been teaching; they would have no longer graft for religion. They would have nothing to use as graft for religions as they have been using the former theories and doctrines of the religions and superstition.
Just think of what it would mean to the world if they could learn the Truth concerning things — be convinced definitely, if it takes ten thousand light years to ascend to those stars and some other stars so many times their distance away, what and how can they imagine there could be anything like a Heaven above all of the other planets and stars?
They would get their minds away from those things in fulfillment of the Revelationic prediction of John:
"The first Heaven and the first earth are passed away."
It will be. The imaginary Heaven shall pass away completely and the real one shall be with you. Aren't you glad!
You all should be glad how, out of the most insignificant apparently, cometh forth the fount of all Wisdom and Understanding to answer every imaginary problem, every problem you have ever thought of. They all can be answered by the recognition of MY Presence and by stressing ME vividly in your consideration.
Again I wish to stress for your consideration, you should not marvel at MY Presence, at MY coming and at MY going apparently; for I am repeating and rehearsing history; I am repeating and rehearsing science and invention; I am repeating and rehearsing the revelations of the children of men and inspirations of HE who liveth forever, and producing them and bringing them together for the advancement of the Kingdom of Heaven.
My cooperation, My Spirit, MY Mind in bodies, I use for the purpose of repeating history and to recreate and re-record the records of the creation as from the foundation. It should be understood why it is and why it must be, as it is such as I have with ME to accomplish MY Work for which I came. For I am recreating and regenerating and causing the earth or the inhabitants of the earth, whichever, to be born again. I thank you.
