Milton on the Hudson
Such profound and outstanding Messages as given by the Giver of all Good Gifts, HE of Whom it was spoken in the Bible: "When He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, you will need no man to teach you; for He will teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." Therefore, the Wisdom that is imparted to us surpasses that of man, for it is the Wisdom of GOD; and such as HE has is free for one and all, for HE has come as a Free Gift to the world and absolutely GRATIS to all mankind!
Through the Condescension of GOD, FATHER DIVINE, are we able to imbibe these beautiful Words of Life, these precious Gems of Salvation which are infallible, and of which are for the Redemption of all humanity, if they will but accept of them. Many wonderful thoughts were brought out by our FATHER in this glorious Message, for which we humbly thank Thee, Savior of Mankind!
(The foregoing statement is made by the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks as follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! I believe we all have Good Health and a Good Will for everybody, with Good Manners, Good Behavior and a Good Appetite. With this and all of the other Blessings of which we are experiencing, we are in hopes that all might be partakers of the same Blessings we are enjoying. By this, all will come to the recognition and the realization of GOD'S Actual Presence and live on earth in Heaven.
As I have often said, it has been considered by a good many of the critics as though we are speaking fanatically and speaking from and through being merely ignorant of the Mystery of this of which we are stressing. But when we speak of Righteousness, Truth and Justice and speak of a Government under which to live universally, such as we are stressing, if they stop and consider the Mystery, all will eventually see a Righteous Government is a righteous judgment. With the righteous judgment established in the minds of the children of men, they will have a Righteous Government within. This Righteous Government within themselves, will cause them to express Righteousness and Truth and Justice to everybody else. By this we will have a Righteous Government in evidence, with or without legality.
We may endeavor to, and even may do so bring about a Righteous Government legally; but if men refuse to accept of the Righteousness as exemplified among us and refuse to legalize it among the political representatives and legal officials of our present political machinery, we know we have it within ourselves. Hence, over and above every opposition, over and above everything else, that of which I HAVE established among you, I will have it universally and all shall recognize it and will eventually enjoy it with or without legality!
The legalization of Righteousness is as much essential as the legalization of crime. Legalized crime has been an abstract and an outward expression. Men will legalize the brothel and other crime breeders and expressions of immorality, but they do not stop to consider, equivalently the same should be brought into their consideration the legalization of Righteousness, Truth and Justice should be actually established among us!
When crime is legalized, it is getting the endorsement of the government to protect it in committing crime; but when Righteousness is ignored and prohibited from being legalized, they are barring the existence legally, of Righteousness, and trying to prevent it. But as with those who can and will violate the law of man and commit crimes that are not legalized by them, even so will we establish Righteousness, Truth and Justice with or without legality!
It matters not if a person is persistent in his ambition and will endeavor to and will go forth with a determination to establish that which is his endeavor, he can accomplish it as much in Righteousness, Truth and Justice as he can in wickedness, sin and debauchery. Organized crime and legalized crime have been a living reality in some parts of this country; not only in other countries where men organize to commit crime organize and gather themselves together organizationally and carry themselves to the legal authority to get the endorsement of the government to commit such things as they are representing. But this has been endorsed in a great measure by a good many of our politicians.
But to find someone who will present to the world Righteousness, Truth and Justice as we have it in ourselves when we are converted to the Christ Consciousness, we find a limited few who will attempt to do so; but where it is presented to the world, men will try to bar the Spirit of Righteousness and the Spirit of Righteous Government from the legalization of the department of our Senate and the law makers who can and will eventually control the powers that be, in Righteousness, Truth and Justice as we should have it.
By this, we find ourselves at times as opponents to those who are representing our Government, for there are those who represent the Government, can and will endorse the legalization of crime, but will not endorse the legalization of Righteousness. When we find the corruptible politicians and officials refusing to endorse the activities of Righteousness as exemplified among us; when we find they are trying to prohibit you as the only real true American citizens from registering and voting, they are endeavoring to prohibit the existence Righteousness, Truth and Justice, under legality! They are trying to bar it from the legal authority and from having the endorsement of the Government to carry on legally, in the way of Righteousness, Truth and Justice, such as I have established it!
For this cause, they have striven to prohibit those who are real American citizens to be real representatives in the political world, by trying to prohibit them from registering and voting, by endeavoring to take their franchise, that they might not have an access to express from a political point of view in the act of registering and voting to endorse those whom they know are just and true, of whom will stand for Righteousness such as I have exemplified among you.
By this, we find it is essential for those of you who know the Truth, to stand firm and be unshaken in confidence and substantiated in faith; be substantiated in faith, and the very Spirit of My Presence will bring about that of which I have brought to you and to the universe, and all men will eventually see that which you are now enjoying the spirit of independence, which is a part of our citizenry; others will be obliged to see it distinctly and will seek it even as you have it!
What a glorious privilege to live in such a recognition, where you are conscious of GOD'S Actual Presence; no longer conscious of a Heaven in a superstitious way of expression, but conscious of a Real Heaven and a Real Earth in this state of consciousness. Heaven is not a place geographically, but a state of consciousness wherein dwelleth Righteousness; the Heaven of which the Prophet predicted:
'Behold, I create a NEW Heaven and a NEW Earth, wherein dwelleth Righteousness.'
That Righteous Heaven of which we are speaking, is a state of consciousness in
which we are now living, where the Righteousness of GOD is established internally,
and the Consciousness of GOD is your Guide and your Protection.
'Let this Mind be in you that was also on Christ Jesus.'
The Spirit of My Presence will lead you on to Victory; hence you will not have an occasion to fret nor worry, with or without legality!
As I speak of the legalization of crime, I Speak of it, for they have striven persistently to bring about a prohibitation to your personal and co-operative existence in the act of registering and voting, because they do not desire to legalize Righteousness, Truth and Justice; but to the reverse, they legalize crime and allow crime to be organized and then legalized by the sacred oath of the office of the officials who will endorse crime by legality. But how glorious it is to realize, that of which I have brought to the surface, I have put it forth into expression, with or without the politicians! They did not make ME and they cannot break ME! They did not Select and Elect ME and they cannot Dethrone ME! Aren't you glad?
Therefore, we do rejoice and we are exceedingly glad over and above every opposition throughout the universe! We KNOW we have the Key to the Mystery of this of which I AM speaking, the Kingdom of Heaven. What said Jesus concerning the Mystery:
'Simon, I give you the Keys of the Kingdom, and that which you loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven, and that which you bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven.'
Then I say, the Keys of the Kingdom will come forth into your possession and
you will become to be the inheritors of such a Blessing when you reckon GOD'S
Presence as a Living Factor among you. When you bring your bodies into subjection
to such a recognition, the very Spirit of GOD'S Presence will work effectively
for you and will adjust matters satisfactorily and will cause harmonious conditions
to result, by living in harmony with your GOD!
Heaven is not a place geographically; Heaven is a state of consciousness. When you, as a people, universally shall have awakened or shall have been aroused and quickened into this state of consciousness and recognize GOD'S Actual Presence, as with the light when it is turned on in a dark room, so with the coming of CHRIST in your minds. Where it was dark and gloomy, mentally and spiritually; where you were limited mentally, where you were perturbed and disturbed and filled with negation mentally and spiritually; your condition, all of your conditions changed immediately by the recognition of CHRIST'S Presence.
With GOD'S Presence, dark clouds of fogs of doubts and fears are dispelled the dark clouds are dispelled and disappear completely, and where there was darkness of misunderstanding there cometh forth into your understanding the light that is brightly shining. Hence, in the room of the state of consciousness in which you are then living, there will be no darkness, for the Light has truly come!
Heaven typifies the Light and darkness typifies the other world in other words, this world, as it may be termed. Hence, as light dispels darkness and your room in which you are living when you switch your light on, becomes to be bright and no longer a dark room, so it is with this world in consciousness in which you live, when the light is turned on in your soul and in your mind. When the CHRIST Consciousness in you has truly come, the Kingdom of GOD has truly come, for CHRIST is on the throne of your mind.
Then it is not merely a supposition; it is not a supposition at all, but it is the conscious conviction and the realization of millions, even as the light is in this room; if you switch your lights out, this will be a dark room, the extreme reverse to that which is light. So it is with GOD and the Kingdom of Heaven; when GOD comes in your consciousness and you reckon GOD as being actually present, dark clouds of doubts and fears and all of the mortal versions are dispelled, and GOD HIMSELF IS HERE! That is the mystery!
When GOD has truly come in your hearts and in your minds and you recognize GOD'S Actual Presence, the Kingdom has truly come and the Will is being done, the same as the light has when you shall have switched your lights on. No more darkness! The same place that was dark, it is no longer dark; you do not have to go some place to find the light, the light is present with you; just turn it on and you will have it!
The Kingdom of GOD of which I AM stressing and advocating daily, it is a state of consciousness in which you are now living, and millions of others . . . a state of consciousness as the light of human understanding mathematically, the principle of mathematics; when it is established in the conscious mentality of an individual, that individual is no longer ignorant mathematically; he becomes to be intelligent by the principle of mathematics being accurately established in his mentality. When he learns to use the principle accurately and expertly, that person is no longer an ignorant person, but that person is superinteligent mathematically, not only so, but he is a mathematician.
So it is with the Kingdom of Heaven. When it is established in your consciousness by the recognition of GOD'S Actual Presence and by you as individuals bringing your bodies into subjection to such a recognition, GOD comes in your consciousness and turns all of your darkness of misunderstanding into the Light of the understanding of GOD'S Actual Presence. There and then the Kingdom has truly come, even as the light when it shall have been turned on! It is just like that!
This is not a dark room, but without the light it would be a dark room; but with the light, the light has truly come a light room instead of a dark one. The Light of your soul comes into expression when you recognize GOD'S Actual Presence and turn on that keynote of Salvation by dialation. Dial in on the Fundamental; the reaction of such a dialation as you are expressing, there and then, you are bringing into your present experience, the reality of GOD'S Presence by merely dialing in.
It is not something geographically, as I say; it is something that is an actual fact, just as true as light is, as I afore said a living reality where there was darkness.
Many, many years ago before the invention of electricity came forth into expression, men could not or would not believe the reality of what we are mow enjoying. They could not have believed it was possible or would have been possible to live in an advanced civilization, such as this in which we are now living, for they were not acquainted with scientific truth to the advanced degree, such as this in which we are now living. Hence, it was a matter of impossibility for them to believe it and see it.
So it is and so it has been with those who are not conscious of such a recognition. When we speak of the Kingdom of Heaven, they think we are ignoramuses, they think we are merely fanatics. They do not know GOD is a Living Reality and has made Himself Real, Tangible and Practical, even as the principle of mathematics. But how glorious it is as this Truth is revealed! It causes disappointment and failure to be eradicated one and forever; it causes the desirable conditions to result in your daily experiences; it causes harmony in your mentality where there was negation, and it causes the positive to come forth into expression in your daily activities, instead of the negative. These are facts and figures too stout to be denied! This is not something as a supposition that someone might surmise who has not the experience and has not had the consequences in evidence as an experience to give others the mystery concerning the thing. But we have it in evidence, not only in the mental conception of things, but we have it in the physical or material demonstration of things or blue print the actuated words of expression of which we are now expressing in our daily activities among this people here and elsewhere.
We are demonstrating the reality of My Conviction and of yours, in the actuated words of expression and in the materialization of the same as though it was a blue print to show you concerning the Mystery of the Kingdom. To show you the reality of things, I have drawn the blue print in the actuated words of My expression in these things of which I AM demonstrating. This is a blue print of the reality that is in the invisible, such as I AM bringing forth in the outer by your conscious conviction, and causing you to come into the realization of that of which I AM daily stressing in the actuated words of My expression.
Then I say, it is a privilege to live in such a recognition. Peace and Joy can be your portion now, henceforth and forever, if you live it and express accurately and bring your bodies into subjection to the Fundamental of Whom you say I AM! Why live in lacks and wants for any desirable expression, when GOD, in Love and Mercy, came as the Supplier of every good desire and the Satisfier of all of your ambition? This is not a supposition, as I afore said, but by daily experience you are now enjoying the reality of things you have been thinking. Today's experience is the outward expression of yesterday's mental and spiritual conception.
How glorious it is to realize you can visualize and can mentally and spiritually conceive an idea; those ideas can be made real by experience and by harmonizing with the thing that has been revealed. Those ideas can be made real and you will be able to plainly see there is a reality in that of which you have thought of yesterday, for thoughts are things that materialize when they come into your conscious mentality and are vividly and harmoniously visualized.
Just think of this beautiful dining room and all of the surroundings; not only here but the universe over the beautiful thoughts of GOD transmitted! And by the concentrated thoughts of others with ME, I bring into actuality and into outer expression the reality of the thing you had been visualizing. That which is vividly visualized can and will eventually be materialized. Then I say, why not be wise enough to visualize the Positive and the desirable instead of the negative? And by visualization continually, you will gain victory over all of your infirmities, over all afflictions and the iniquities of your ancestors even those conditions will not be imposed upon you when you see your father's errors and turn from them.
It is written:
'I AM, the Lord your GOD, AM a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children from the third to the fourth generation of them that hate ME, and showing mercy upon thousands of them that love ME and keep My Commandments.'
But what said the inspirationic prediction of Ezekiel in Ezekiel the eighteenth
chapter?
'If you see your father's error and turn from them and refuse to do those things that were forbidden, you shall surely live, says the Lord GOD Almighty.'
Hence, if you are cursed with a curse, as said the Scripture, you can be redeemed
and emancipated from under that curse by having a BRAND NEW BIRTH!
Christendom declares,
'You must be born again.'
When you, by inspiration and by concentration, are born again and become to be a New Creature, you are no longer bound to the old, but you become to be NEW in reality. Hence, the iniquities of your ancestors will not be imposed upon you, for you take on a New Nature, New Characteristics and a New Disposition. That is why we should unify ourselves together through the Spirit of true Christianity, as being termed Religious, or through the spirit of Religion as being termed Christianity, or through the spirit of sincerity; and faith in the Almighty, as being termed Religious, will overcome your divers infirmities and iniquities that would be imposed upon you if you remain under that old lineage, and refuse to be born out from under that Adamic state of consciousness. For what said the Scripture concerning this mystery? Jesus said:
'I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life; no man cometh to the FATHER but by ME.'
Then it is essential for you to overcome those infirmities and the iniquities of your ancestors, and to overcome them materially, you must be born again; born out of that state of consciousness as being in Adam;
'for in Adam all die, so shall in Jesus Christ all be made alive.'
Hence, after coming into this recognition you must be as your Savior, the Way-shower
Who has gone before you.
'They who do the Will of My Father, the same is My mother and the same are My brethren and My sisters.'
When you realize this, you will not bind your thoughts to yourself as a person,
but you will LET GO and LET GOD, and come into the consideration of the mystery
as given under the Constitution:
'OF ONE BLOOD GOD CREATED ALL NATIONS THAT DWELL UPON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.'
Then, when this is established in your consideration, you will harmonize with
your fellow brethren, you will unify with all mankind and you will establish
the reality of the Brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of GOD in your minds.
When this is done, you are no longer bound to a cursed lineage whose infirmities and iniquities have been imposed upon you, but you are New Creatures characteristically and dispositionally; therefore, GOD in wrath nor in the destructive way of expression, will not see your iniquities nor the iniquities and infirmities of your ancestors, for you are new creatures as representatives of the Universal Brotherhood of Man and the conscious realization of the Fatherhood of GOD. You are then in a New Family and no longer subjugated to the infirmities of your ancestors, neither imposed upon by their infirmities, sins and transgressions, for GOD HIMSELF has emancipated you from those conditions and you are in a Bright New World of expression. By this we can and will have a Righteous Government and all discrimination and prejudice heretofore existing will be completely eliminated.
When this shall have been established within the hearts and lives of men, we will overcome all of the present existing turmoil's of life, conflicts and pestilences and disasters from a destructive point of view and even humanity will learn no longer to be destructive, but become to be constructive in all they say and in all they do. There will not be any more wars, race riots or any such, when all men shall have become to be partakers of this, the Spirit of Righteousness, of Truth and of Justice, and all shall have become to be real Co-workers together as One Man at Jerusalem!
This will then be a Living Reality as I have established it, and all of the peoples of the earth will be unified together, for graft and greed and every other detestable and hateful tendency of the prejudicial people will be completely eradicated and dispelled by the abolition of such once and forever, and GOD HIMSELF will be reckoned in the Fatherhood of GOD and you all will be reckoned and considered in the Brotherhood of Man and there will not be any more division among them. I thank you.
(FATHER continued speaking as follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! I did not mean to take up so much time, but as usual, I forget about Myself when I speak, and apparently, about everybody else I forget. But I had arisen to say we have visiting friends with us, just a limited few apparently, as there are only a limited few of the immediate followers here tonight because I came at a late hour and it has not gotten around! But as we have a few visiting friends and if they desire to have a word to say the Message as read, especially in the latter clause in giving an invitation to our visiting friends if they would like to have a word to say, we are pleased to have them speak according to the dictates of their own conscience. Do not feel as though you must speak according to ours especially, but speak according to your highest leading and I will be with you. I thank you!
