The Secret of Light by Walter Russell

This is a public domain book that I received free legally from archive.org. Hope you guys enjoy this.

The Secret of Light by Walter Russell. I guess I need to do a little setup for this. Within the last week, I was watching a Santos a rant Santos Bonacci. So I'm thankful that I got turned on to Walter Russell because of him. Thank you, Santos. But the first time that I heard him, I did not know enough about anything to really follow along and grasp what he was saying. And this time, when I listened, I knew a lot more. I've been studying this stuff for a while, and slowly it is sinking in, very slowly.

So anyway, 43.1 six minutes into this one-hour deal, he hits the meat of it. Walter Russell, fascinating. I think that he was in the same circles as Tesla. There's another gentleman, I don't remember what his name is, but I'll be looking him up to. Walter Russell was not a tinkerer per se. It was like an Einstein, but you didn't get that kind of credit. Now, maybe he did back in the day, I don't know. But I know I never heard of him till this weekend, and apparently he was brilliant. So I want to read what he did. I want to understand it, see what's there because basically, what I think I'm understanding is the ideas that Walter Russell had, Einstein used, other people used. So I think there's some good stuff here. I think it's the simple mechanics of how the universe works, which absolutely fascinates me. So if you're listening to this, I hope you enjoy it.

And here we go. The Secret of Light by Walter Russell. Third Edition. University of Science and Philosophy. Formerly the Walter Russell Foundation. Copyright 1947 by A. Walter Russell. Copyright 1994 by the University of Science and Philosophy. There's a cool wheel here. I shall include it too.

To the One God, the Universal One. This book is humbly dedicated. The Cosmic Clock. Cool. Okay, here we go.

Concerning the Divine Iliad. The Divine Iliad is the basis of this book. The Divine Iliad is an inspired message from the Creator to give man the needed comprehension of his relation to his universe, to man, and to God for the coming cycle. Man progresses in cycles of approximately 2,500 years. At the beginning of each cycle of his growing awareness of the light within him, God sends messages through prepared messengers to further his comprehension of the light. Comprehension of these cosmic messages gradually exalts mankind into higher beings, and thus each cycle is one more step for man toward full awareness of the light and of his oneness with God. The Divine Iliad cannot be fully published for many years. As much of it as can now be published will appear in these pages. Further portions of it will be released as the world is ready to receive them.

The Wave. In the wave lies the secret of creation.

Author's Foreword. Jesus said, "God is light," and no man of that day knew what he meant. The day is now here when all men must know what Jesus meant when he said, "God is light." For within the secret of light is vast knowledge yet unrevealed to man. Light is all there is. It is all we have to deal with, but we do not yet know what it is. The purpose of this message is to tell what it is.

Today's civilization has advanced far in knowing how to deal with matter, but we do not know what matter is, nor the why of it. Nor do we know what energy, electricity, magnetism, and radiate. Nor do we know the purpose of the inert gases and what they are. Nor do we know the structure of the elemental atoms, nor the gyroscopic principle which determines that structure. Nor are we aware of the fact that this is a two-way continuous universe of balance in all effects of motion, and not a one-way discontinuous universe. Nor have we even yet heard or suspected the most important of all principles in physics, the avoidance principle, and the mirrors and lenses of space which are the cause of illusion in all moving things. Nor do we even consider the entire material electric universe to be the illusion which it is, there being no reality to it whatsoever. Nor have we the slightest inkling of the cause of curvature of space, nor the voidance of that curvature in planes of zero curvature at wave field boundaries. No one knows how it is that crystals get their various shapes. It will amaze the world to know that those shapes of crystals are determined in space by the shapes of the wave fields which bound the various elemental structures. Nor have we the slightest conception of what constitutes the life principle, nor the principle of growth, nor the simultaneous unfoldment-refoldment principle which repeats all patterns in nature sequentially and records and voids them as they are repeated. Nor are we aware of that recording principle by means of which the Creator carries forth the sum totals of every sequential cycle in his unfolding and refolding universe into the very end of its manifestations upon one planet and its beginning on a new one. Nor are we dynamically aware of the souls and seeds of things. These roots of universal repetition are now but metaphysical abstractions to religion and physical guesswork to science.

Within the secret of light is the answer to all of these heretofore unanswered questions and many more which the ages have not yet solved. This revelation of the nature of light will be the inheritance of man in the coming new age of greater comprehension. Its unfoldment will prove the existence of God by methods and standards acceptable to science and religion alike. It will lay a spiritual foundation under the present material one of science. The two greatest elements in civilization, religion and science, will thus find unity in marriage of the two. Likewise, human relationships will become more balanced because of greater knowledge of universal law which lies behind all of the processes which light uses to interweave the pattern forms of this electric wave universe. There is no department of life which will not be vitally affected by this new knowledge of the nature of light, from the university to the laboratory, from government to industry, and from nation to nation. I therefore give it to you with all of its clarity as I myself have become aware of it from behind the scenes of this cosmic cinema of light illusion which is our universe.

Walter Russell. He's written a lot of books. There's a few that are available. I don't know that I'll read them all, but: The Message of the Divine Iliad, Volume One and Two; A New Concept of the Universe; The Self-Multiplication Principle; The Secret of Working Knowingly with God; The Electric Nature of the Universe; The Sculptor Searches for Mark Twain's Immortality; The Fifth Kingdom; Man, the Dawn of a New Day in Human Relations; The Immortality of Man; The Book of Early Whisperings; Your Day and Night. Plus, there's some home study that he and his wife, Lao Russell, did. It was called Home Study Course in Universal Law, Natural Science and Living Philosophy. And then the next one is Scientific Answer to Human Relations. Another one is Atomic Suicide. Another one, The World Crisis: Its Explanation and Solution. A Vision Fulfilled. The One World Purpose. A Plan to Dissolve War by a Power More Mighty Than War.

Books by Lao Russell, his wife: God Will Work With You But Not For You; Love: A Scientific and Living Philosophy of Love and Sex; Why You Cannot Die; Reincarnation Explained. Cool. I'm gonna check that one out. Okay, so those are some other books that are available.

Let's just jump into it. Part 1. Omniscience. The Universe of Knowing. Okay, so there's two hundred pages still. Well, maybe more than that. Oh, cool. Hopefully these are here. Part three is postulates and diagrams that I want to see.

"I am the Light. I alone am what I am. Thou art thou art the Light. Thou art one with me. Man may know me by desiring to know me. To know me is to be me. Through my light alone can man know me. Man is light when he knoweth that he is light. Man is me when he knoweth that he is me. All men will come to me in due time, but theirs is the agony of awaiting."

From the Divine Iliad.

The Secret of Light. Part 1. All power is from the One. All power returns to the One.

Omniscience. The Universe of Knowing.

Chapter 1. The Eternal Question. Who am I? What am I? Why am I? Whither am I bound? What is my relation to the universe, to man, and to God? What is truth? How am I to know truth? Whence cometh my power? What is the source of my power? How am I to find balance in my dealings with my fellow men? Now can you see why I fell in love with this guy immediately? Hello. How am I to find balance in my dealings with my fellow men? How am I to know that balance in our interchange which will enrich both him and me?

Countless are the religious teachings and many are the commandments to goodness, but goodness is still veiled from my eyes like a thick mist which hides the eye light which I vainly seek. I stumble into its darkness, unbalanced. I fall. Oh, thou unseen One, tear from my eyes the blinding veil which hides the path to thy light that I may find my way.

"To be" is the cry of the ages. That is the unanswered question which is arising from the heart of this awakening generation. Civilization progresses in cycles. New comprehension periodically transforms mankind into higher beings. A new cycle of 3,000 years duration is now in its birth throes. God's omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence are centered in the consciousness of every man, but few there are who know of the oneness of their self-soul with the universal self-soul. Man requires many millennia to begin to be aware of that. Each cycle of man brings him nearer to his awareness of his oneness with the light of his self-source.

Man lives in a bewildering complex world of effect, of which he knows not the cause, because of its seemingly infinite multiplicity and complexity. He fails to vision the simple underlying principle of balance in all things. He therefore complexifies his truth until its many angles, sides, and facets have lost balance with each other and with him. Truth is simple. Balance is simple. Rhythmic, balanced interchange between all pairs of opposite expressions in natural phenomena and in human relations is the consummate art of God's universe of light. It is also the law. In this one fundamental universal law lies the balanced continuity of all creative expression in God's electric wave universe of two conditioned lights in seeming motion which record God's one whole idea of creation into countless seemingly separate parts of that whole idea.

The Voice Within. The great unanswered question of man has a simple answer. The silent voice within every man is ceaselessly whispering it to his awakening consciousness. Every desire written upon the heart of man is carried to the source, and its answer will come. But few there are who ask comprehensively, and fewer still who hear. Many are the ages of preparation for worthiness to hear it, for man's consciousness is insulated from his source by the sensations of his electrically conditioned body, which he wrongly thinks of as being his mind and his personal self.

What he calls his objective human mind is but the seat of electric sensations of his body. What he mistakes for thinking is but an electric awareness of things sensed and recorded within the cells of his brain for repetitive usage through what is termed memories. Memories have no more relation to knowledge of universal mind, which is in men, than Victrola records are related to the source of their recordings. What he thinks of as his living body is but an electrically motivated machine which simulates life through motion extended to it from its entering self-soul, which alone lives and wills the body to move. What he calls his subjective mind is his consciousness, his spiritual storehouse of all knowledge, all power, and all presence. That consciousness is his self, his eternal self, through which his omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence are expressed.

As he slowly becomes aware of his presence within him, the electrically oscillating nerve wires which operate his bodily mechanism act almost entirely through automatic reflexes and instinctive control, and to a very little extent through mental decisions. Each cell and organ of his body has an electrical awareness of its purpose, and each fulfills that purpose without any mental action whatsoever upon the part of the intelligence which occupies that body. The heartbeat, for example, is purely automatic. The white corpuscles of the blood rush to repair an injury to the body as automatically as a bell rings when a button is pushed.

In this body and its electric recording brain, man thinks that he thinks and lives, loves, and dies. He thinks himself conscious while awake and unconscious while sleeping, unaware that in all nature there is no such condition as unconsciousness. When sensation ceases in sleep, man does not say that his tooth is unconscious when it is put to sleep by short-circuiting the electric current in the nerve wire which gives sensed electrical awareness to his tooth. He knows that his tooth cannot be conscious, but he does not know that his body cannot be conscious, nor does he yet know that consciousness never sleeps, never changes, for consciousness and man is his immortality. It is the light which he is unknowingly seeking, but assumes that the sensation of his brain is his thinking.

Man is still new. He is barely out of the dark of his jungle. For the million or more years of his unfolding, he has relied upon sensation for his actions and the evidence of his senses for his knowing. He has been aware of the spirit in him only a very few thousands of years. In this beginning of his new awareness, he is confused, knowing not which is mind in him, which is consciousness in him, and which is sensation. He has not yet learned that bodies are but self-created mechanisms which manifest their centering self, and that self manifests God as one with it. Likewise, he has not yet learned that bodies neither live nor die, but repeat themselves continuously and forever, as all idea of mine likewise repeats itself.

The wheel, for example, is a mechanism consisting of a hub, spokes, and a rim. A little part of the wheel touches the ground, feels it, then leaves it to disappear from reach of the sensations which connect rim, spokes, and ground. But then it reappears. When that happens to men, we say he was born, lived, and died. When it happens to the apple, the flame, or the tree, we say the apple was eaten, the flame has gone out, and the tree is decayed. We say that because only a small part of the cycle of any idea comes within the range of our senses. The larger part of the cycle is beyond our range of perception, just as the larger part of the wheel is beyond the sensed perception of the ground. We do not yet know that the invisible part of the cycles of all idea is as continuous as the wheel is continuous.

This cycle of the apple is light reaching from the sun and earth to that positive half of the apple cycle which we hold in our hand. The negative half of the cycle is light returning to sun and earth for repetition as another manifestation of the eternal idea of the apple. The same is true of a flame, the tree, or any other part of the one whole idea of creation. The flame goes out to our sensing, but it still is. Likewise the tree, the forest, mountain, planet, nebula of the far heavens appear, disappear, and as surely reappear. Likewise, man appears to disappear and reappear again and again in countless cycles to express eternal life of the spirit in eternal repetitions of that part of the man cycle which the body of man can sense. Man never dies. He is as continuous as eternity is continuous. Jesus rightly said that man shall not see death, for there is no death to see or to know. Likewise, the body of man does not live, and having never lived, it cannot die. The spirit alone lives. The body but manifests the spirit. That which we think of as life in the spirit of man manifests itself by willing the body to act. Actions thus made by the body under the command of its entering soul no motivate of power or intelligence in themselves. They are but machines motivated by the omniscient and omnipotent intelligence extended to them.

These things we do not yet know, for man is in his infancy. He is but beginning to know the light. Be ye forever transformed. Man is forever seeking the light to guide him on that long, torturous road which leads from his body's jungle to the mountain top of his awakening soul. Man is forever finding that light and is being forever transformed as he finds it. And as he finds it, he gradually finds the self of him which is the light. And as he becomes more and more transformed by the God light of the awakening self within him, he leaves the jungle farther below him in the dark.

There are those who seek the light who are discouraged because they seemingly cannot find it, wholly unaware that they have forever been finding it. Unknowing ones expect to find it all at once in some blinding flash of all power, all knowledge, and all presence. It does not come that way until what is nearing his mountaintop. Man cannot bear much of the light at a time while his body is still new and too near its jungle. All who are well out of the jungle have already found enough of the light to illuminate way out of its dark depths. He who is far out of the jungle and still seeks the light in the high heavens is forever finding it and is forever being transformed as he finds it. One cannot for one moment remove his seeking eyes from his high heaven, for ever so slight a glimpse below into the dark brings him back to the fears of the dark which tempt him to plunge back into them. Look ye therefore forever upward into the high heavens of inspiration where glory awaits the fearless, all-knowing seekers of beauty in the purity of the universal light. To him whose eyes are in the high heavens, the light will forever come, and he will be forever transformed as he finds it.

The dark road from his jungle to his mountaintop of glory becomes ever more during the ascent from body to spirit. It is a hard but glorious road to climb. All must make the climb. The ascent of man from the dark to the light is the forever repetitive play of man on the planets of Suns. When all of mankind has found the light, the play will be finished. Likewise, this planet will be finished as an abode for man. It will then be rolled off into its ever-expanding orbit while Venus is gradually being rolled into place to become the stage for the next repetition of the ascent of man in this solar system. We actors of the play must therefore be content with the lines of the play revealed to each of us in light. We must likewise be ever joyous at our continuous transformation as each one of us learns our part line by line the better to fulfill it worthily. All parts of the play are experiences which become the action of the play. All man's experiences are part of his unfolding. Each experience is a part of his journey from the dark to the light. All experiences are steps in that journey to his mountaintop of glory. All experiences therefore are good experiences. There is not but good. There is no evil. There is not but life. There is no death.

"I am the One. The All. Glorify thou me, the One whom I am, for I am All and no other is. I the sexless One and Unity. What I am, thou art, for there art me. Thou art the Whole. Glorify thy self, for in so doing thou art glorifying me. I the One Whole and Knowing Mind. I exist to think. All thinking is light of my knowing, but my thinking is not me. I am Creator creating with my thinking. Out of my light of knowing are my two lights of thinking born as sex pairs of opposites for repetition as sex pairs of opposites. To think is to create. I create with light. Nothing is which is not light. I think idea, light registering my idea in the two sex lights of my thinking, and form is born in the image of my thinking. Form hath no existence, nor have my imaginings. These exist not, for they are not me. I alone existed. I the All. I create all imaged body with the in-breathing of my pulsing universe of me. My universe is my image, but my image is not me. All things are my image, but they are not me, and though I am in them and they in me."

From the Divine Iliad.

Chapter 2. Creator and Creation. God the Creator is all there is. All that exists. God's creating universe of matter in motion appears to exist to our senses. It sequentially disappears to reappear. It has no reality, but it simulates reality through the illusion of two-way projected lights in motion. God the Creator is the one being, the one person, the one mind, the one thinker, the one self, the one life, the one soul, one power, the one reality. God's creation is the imaged patterned form of God's imagining, built in His image. It is the body of God, the recording of His thinking, created by Him for expressing the oneness of life, love, mind, soul, and power which is in Him alone. The one light. God is light. God is universal mind. Mind is light. Mind knows mind. Mind thinks what it knows. Mind thinks in two opposed lights simultaneously projected from their centering white light source and sequentially repeated in cycles. God's thinking and imagining are qualities of God's knowing. God's knowing mind is timeless and still. So also are God's thinking and imagining timeless and still. So likewise, man's thinking and imagining are as timeless and still as this is knowing. Stillness never can be motion or become motion, but it can appear to be motion. Merely seems, but stillness always is. The universal equilibrium can never be other than its own balance, but it can seem to be. The illusion which is motion springs from stillness and returns to stillness. This is a universe of rest. There is not but rest in the universe. Mind knows its one idea of creation as one whole. Mind thinks its one whole idea into seeming parts, hence the illusion of motion which we call creation, and the illusion of substance which we call matter. Matter, motion, time, change, dimension, and substance have no existence. The light of knowing mind alone exists. There is but one mind and one thinker. The one light of knowing mind is self of God. It is the universal self which centers all omnipresent self-creating bodies of God selves. This self-creating universe is the mind-imagined body of God and record of God's thinking. We can know God. We cannot know His body, but we can see it. Likewise, we can know Him. Likewise, we can know man. We cannot know the body of man, but we can see it. What God is, man is. God and man are one. Our seeming duality. We seemingly live in two universes: the still cosmic mind universe of knowing, and the moving thought-of-mind rhythmic wave universe of sensing. We cannot sense the cosmic universe of God's knowing, nor can we know the thought-wave universe of God's thinking. The cosmic mind universe of the one light of all knowing is all. Is. The vibrating thought-wave universe of sensing merely seems. The cosmic God light, the one still light of God, is the cosmic light which watches over all creating things at countless points locatable by man, but invisible to men. Man's senses have misled him into believing in a force called magnetism which attracts compass needles and lifts tons of steel. These phenomena of motion are due to electricity and not to magnetism. The cosmic light is absolutely still. It neither attracts nor repels. We now need to comprehend the nature and purpose of the magnetic poles of suns, planets, and all other moving extensions of the one light. He had magnetic poles in quotation marks. P.S. Likewise, we need to know the nature and purpose of the two electric workers which interweave this light mirages of seeming motion and dissolve sequentially for rebuilding. This will give a foundation of knowledge to man which will enable him to see behind the illusions which deceive his senses. The time has come in the history of man's journey from his material jungle to his spiritual mountaintop when it is imperative that he must live more and more in the cosmic light universe of knowing and less in the electric wave universe of sensing. Man must know that his power lies in the stillness of his centering self and not in the motion by means of which he manifests that stillness. He must know that his self is God in him. Also, he must know gradually the dawning awareness of the cosmic light of God in him, for which it comes an awareness of his purposefulness in manifesting the light at the power to manifest Him. Man must now know the universe of God for which it is, instead of what his senses have made him to believe it to be. Also, he must know that this forever created universe which seems so real to him is but a cosmic cinema conceived by the master playwright. It is but an electrically projected spectrum-colored light and sound wave motion picture play of cause and effect thrown on the black screen of image space and time. The cause is real. The effect is but a simulation of the reality. The self of man is cause. His self-creating body is effect. God's universe of magnetic light is static. God's perpetually creating electric wave universe of two moving lights is dynamic. It forever moves. The two moving lights are projected through each other from the static one to create the illusion of the idea. They but manifest the illusion which manifests the idea of creation through seeming motion. Is not the idea which is seemingly manifests. Creation is the product of mind knowing expressed in form by mind thinking. The product of mind is not the idea which it simulates. No idea of mind is ever created. It is with simulated by form and motion. Idea is eternal and belongs to God's still universe of knowing. Form of idea in matter is transient, but is eternally repeated as transient form of idea.

The Positive Principle. The foundation of the spiritual universe is stillness. The balance stillness of the one magnetic light of God. Balance stillness is the positive principle of stability and unity. In it there are no negations.

The Negative Principle. The foundation of the physical universe is motion. The ever-changing motion arising out of pairs of unbalanced conditions which must forever move to seek the balance stillness of unity from which they sprang as multiple pairs of units. Unbalanced motion is the negative principle of instability, multiplicity, and separateness, which is this physical universe of electric octave waves of opposed lights. In the negative principle, there is no positive. It is composed entirely of pairs of stations which are forever voiding each other, canceling each other's action and reaction, thus negating each other by never allowing either one to exceed its fixed zero of universal stillness.

Quality Begets Quantities. The still magnetic light universe of God's knowing is an invisible, unchanging, unconditioned, and unmeasurable quality from which visible, changing, conditioned, and measurable quantities spring to simulate those qualities through two wave motion. There is no one word in any language to express that quality, so we must use many words, all having the same meaning but different connotations. These words are: mind, consciousness, love, life, truth, desire, knowledge, power, balance, and law. The God quality of the one line is seemingly transformed into quantities by being divided into pairs of oppositely conditioned light pressures of this electric universe. These divided pairs are then multiplied into countless octave wave units of light pressures and set in opposite direction motion to create the illusion of sequence, change, dimension, condition, and time in a universe where none of these effects of motion exists. The calm sea, for example, is an unchanging, unmeasurable quality of oneness, of sameness, and stillness. Upon its calm surface, there is no change, nothing to count or to measure. The moment that quantities of waves spring from that quality of calm, those quantities can be measured, likewise they are forever changing, nor are there two points in them which are similarly conditioned. This creating electric universe is composed of moving light waves which spring from a calm sea of the one still light. It is a universe of moving parts of quantities which simulate the quality of stillness from which those quantities spring. The quantities of divided and conditioned pairs of opposite lights which thus simulate the one are not the one. They simulate the Creator. The Creator is one mind, indivisible. Creation is one whole idea of mind, divided into countless simulated ideas of mind through motion. The simulation of idea thus expressed is not the idea that it expresses. Parts of the one whole idea are only seeming. There are no two separate or separable things in the universe. There is but one whole simulation of them, one whole idea. Everything that is, is of everything else that is. All things are indissolubly united.

From the Divine Iliad.

"Every happening anywhere happens everywhere. The milk wheat fluff floating lazily in the summer sky affects the balance of the whole universe of suns and galaxies. Every part of the universe moves in interdependent unison as the wheels of a watch move in unison. The watch wheels are geared together mechanically. The rhythmic wave universe is geared together electrically. The entire universe is one and must be kept in balance as one. Changes of condition in any one part are simultaneously reflected in every other part and are sequentially repeated in it. Say thou these things in words of man's knowing, for verily I say, I am within all things, without all things, and involved in all things, for I am everywhere. All things are omnipresent, for all things extend from mind of me, and I am omnipresent. All omnipresent things are omniscient, for I am within them, and I am omniscient. When man's consciousness telleth him of my presence within and without him, he will then know all things, for I know all things, and I am He. All thinking things manifested all power consciousness within them. Recognize it their omnipotence. Until then, things are not but things manifesting me, not being, but blank slates upon which to write my mighty thoughts for blind eyes, for I am omnipotent. I give all power to him who asks it, but no one may ask of me who is not aware of me. See thou to it that man will know at that and manifest thou thyself that principle of power in thine own works, for I say to all the imaged forms of my imagining that power lieth in them to manifest the balance light which center at them by making the one light appear as two unbalanced lights which interchange sequentially but equally. And again I say that all things which man senses are but waves of dual light which record my electric thinking in the imagined forms of my imagining. And also I say that the imagined forms of my imagining have no being, for I alone have being."

From the Divine Iliad.

Chapter 3. Sensation and Consciousness. God is consciousness. Consciousness is static. Consciousness is the knowing of mind. Knowing is static. Consciousness is the spiritual awareness of being, of all knowing, all power, and all presence. Thinking is electric. God's thinking is expressed by two-way moving wave extensions from consciousness, like a lever swinging up a fixed fulcrum, or like waves extending from the calm sea. Thought expression is dynamic. Thinking belongs to the electrically sensed and conditioned vibrating universe of motion. Thinking is the motionless principle and light which creates the illusion of motion. The self of man belongs to the static, invisible, conscious, unconditioned universe of knowing. We express knowing in the dynamic, visible, electrically conditioned universe of sensation. Sensation is the electrical awareness of motion simulating the spiritual qualities of the one idea by creating imaged quantities of separate forms which seem to have substance. Consciousness is real. Sensation simulates reality through motion of interchanging lights, but the mirage of a city is not the city it reflects. Confusion and misunderstanding as to whether we are thinking consciously from knowledge or sensing electrically from memory records stored in our brains have led us to the necessity of distinguishing between the two by the common usage of such terms as the human mind and mortal mind. We know full well, while using them, that there is but the one mind of the one living God of love, the universal mind, which centers every particle and mass in this universe, animal, vegetable, or mineral, electron, atom, or sun. Man is the only unit in creation who has conscious awareness of the spirit within him and electrical awareness of duly conditioned light acting upon his senses. I think that last part may not be correct, but whatever. All other units of creation have electrical awareness only. Man alone can be freed by body to think with God, to talk with God, and be inspired by His centering light. All other units of creation are limited in their actions to automatic reflexes from sensed memories built up through ages of sensing and recording, such sensing as instinct. Likewise, the same confusion leads us to the adoption of such terms as subconscious mind and superconscious mind. There is but one mind functioning universally within all creating things, and that one mind is not stratified nor divided into the more or less. There are no differing conditions of the one mind, nor are there different kinds of minds. Imagination. God is the imaginer of His one idea. All imagining is God's imagined. All creating forms in this thought universe of God's imagining are built in the image of His imagining, creating in His image. All forms in this creating universe of imagined forms are but electric recordings of God's imaginings. They have no existence. Records of idea are not the idea they record. They have no substance. They are but black and white lights of sun-centered wave fields of space assembled in vibrating systems to simulate substance in an objective universe which is not but seems to be. God's imagining never began and will never end. It was not created at some remote past time by some vast cosmic event, as commonly believed, nor is it condemned to a heat death by expansion into nothingness.

Sensation and Consciousness. This is a creating universe, not a created one. God did not begin to imagine at some fixed point, for time does not exist. This light-wave universe which records God's knowing by His thinking and imagining is as eternal as God's thinking is eternal.

Inspiration. Inspiration is the language of light which man uses to talk with God. Inspiration is that deep awareness of the consciousness of being which differentiates the genius or mystic from the being of average intelligence. Inspiration and man is accompanied by an intense mental ecstasy which is characteristic of all who become intensely conscious of their closeness to God. Inspired geniuses forget their bodies while deeply conscious of their existence as holy mind. Their bodies thus forgotten act almost automatically in obedience to instinct and cell memory reflexes. Inspired geniuses translate God's knowing into words of man for the soul of man. They uplift all mankind by re-inspiring all who listen to their ecstatic words and rhythms. He who attunes his heart to the messages of genius purifies himself. No impurity can there be in his heart, for verily he then is in communion with the Holy One. Man alone of all my creating things have begun to hear my whisperings since his beginning. My still small voice hath whispered within him that I am He and he me, but even now barbaric man on thy small new world heareth dully and maketh him idols which he treasureth before me, for he is still new. He is but in the entire brewing. For I say that all things which floweth from life of me have life of me flowing through them, and to the least of these. But I say that end though my light of immortal life floweth through those mortal symbols of my thinking, it toucheth them not in its passing. When they shall know the light of me in them, then they shall be me and I them.

From the Divine Iliad.

Chapter 4. Cosmic Consciousness. Beyond the genius is the mystic. The mystic is one who has attained cosmic consciousness by a complete severance of the seats of consciousness and sensation. He is then almost totally unaware of his body and is totally aware of the light of God centering him. Omniscience comes to him in that timeless, blinding flash of light which is characteristic of a complete severance. This experience was described in the illumination of St. Paul. Every timeless flash of intense inspiration which comes to any man is a partial illumination, for inspiration is the manner in which new knowledge comes to man from the cosmos. Of all mystics, Jesus was the outstanding example of all time. He was the only one in all history to have known complete cosmic conscious unity with God. The Bible refers to such a conscious experience as the illumination, or being in the light, or in the spirit. In all history, less than 40 cases of partial cosmic consciousness are known, and probably not more than three of these anywhere nearly approach the complete state of illumination experienced by the Nazarene. Cosmic consciousness is the ultimate goal of all mankind. All will know it before the long journey of man is finished, but there are many in this new age just dawning who are ready for it in part, if not fully. Many desire it fully, but it is best that it come bit by bit, for the complete severance is very dangerous. The ecstasy of this supreme experience is so great that one does not wish to come back. The power of severance of soul from body is within easy accomplishment, but to step back into the body is very difficult. The way to gradually attain cosmic consciousness is to intensify one's conscious awareness by much aloneness and companionship with God while manifesting Him in every moment and in every task of life. Moment by moment companionship with God brings with it so great a realization of oneness with Him that the transformation into that full realization of unity is apt to take place at any time. The deterrent to cosmic consciousness is the feeling that God is far away instead of being within, and that we can reach that far away God only through sources outside ourselves.

"Say thou to man these words: I am the source of inspiration to him who seeketh inspiration through me. I say, learn thou to walk my path strongly in the light, for in the dark thou canst not find thy way to me. The path to me is light, and by it thou canst well see thy way to me. I am the soul of art to him whose soul would touch my soul and feel the heartbeat of its mighty rhythm. I see. Insofar as thou knowest thy self as light, shalt thou know me as light. I am beauty, and beauty must man be born anew. Through beauty must knowing man become ecstatic. Man, to him who would add ecstasy to his knowing, I say, seek me in truth, for only in the rhythm of truth shalt thou find ecstasy. Verily I say, the creations of ecstatic man are my creations, for they are balanced things, and I am balanced. To him who would create unbalanced, I say, untruth exists not in my house. I alone hold balance, and the eyes of those who see through me are immune from all but balance, for I am balanced. I am energy, and I am rest. I am the light of love and truth. Upon that foundation have I laid the cornerstone of my universe."

From the Divine Iliad.

Chapter 5. Creative Expression. Inspired man alone can create enduring things. To create, we must first conceive. To conceive, we must stop thinking and know. All sensing must cease. There is no power in thinking. Thinking but expresses the power which lies in knowing. We must project ourselves into the still light of knowing to commune with God. We must become one with God to conceive idea in order to produce the form of that idea. A concept must precede its manifestation and form. The culture of the entire race is given to it by the few inspired ones who know God in them. They alone know immortality. The art of a civilization long outlives the civilization. The pyramids of Egypt still speak of the creation of a race which is long gone from the face of the earth. The sculptural and architectural beauty of Greece still tells us of a type of creative genius which has never been excelled. The great in the arts are few. Art alone endures all else. Houses. Great art can be created only by working moment by moment with God as co-creator. When man and God thus worked together, they commune with the other as one person. The language of their communion is the language of light which man calls inspiration. When man works alone, his works are as the winds which blow. When man works with God as co-creator, his works are forever enduring. Every great genius manifests this law that he is one with a God mind, that God in him is the source of every thought, and that he is inspired by that omniscience and omnipotence within him which makes his work enduring.

All knowledge existed. All knowledge cometh to man in its season. Cosmic messengers periodically give to man such knowledge of my cosmos as man is able to comprehend, but that which he can bear is like unto a thimbleful out of the mighty ocean, for man is beginning to comprehend. When man knoweth the light, then he will know no limitations, but man must know the light for himself, and none there can be who can make words of it, for light knoweth light, and there need be no words.

From the Divine Iliad.

Chapter 6. Knowledge. Knowledge is cosmic. It belongs to the still light of the positive principle. It never can become a property of the two negations which constitute this mirage universe of matter in motion. To know all things means to have all knowledge of the whole one idea of the cosmos as cause. It does not mean knowledge of created things which are effect of cause. The whole cosmic idea is simple. It can be known by any one of average intelligence. Its bewildering complexities lie in effect of cause. Man cannot know transient effect. He can know cause only. He can but comprehend effect. Man cannot know a sunset sky, for example, but he can comprehend it if he knows its cause. Knowledge is there, or limited to cause. All knowledge exists. All mankind can have it for the asking. It is within man, awaiting his awareness of its all presence. Knowledge cannot be acquired by the brain from without. It must be recollected from within the consciousness of self, gradually dawning. Conscious awareness is but gradual recollection of the all-knowing which has always been within man. Men cannot acquire knowledge from books or schools. He can but acquire information that way, but information is not knowledge until it is recognized by the spiritual consciousness of man, just as food is not nourishment for the body until it becomes a part of the bloodstream. Information gained by motion of the senses must be returned to the stillness of a source before it becomes knowledge. For the same reason, man cannot acquire knowledge from the so-called facts of matter, for there are no facts of matter in a universe of transient matter in motion. All matter in motion is but a series of illusions which deceive man into drawing wrong conclusions. It is impossible for man to draw right conclusions from his observation of matter in motion until he has acquired the ability to translate dynamic effect back to cause. This he can do only through decentration to the one light of his conscious awareness of the source of all knowledge. Until he knows the why of effect and its deceptions, he has no knowledge whatsoever upon which he can rely. He has not but unreliable information. Information concerning the body, for example, does not give knowledge concerning cause of body or of the body's relationship to the universe. Information of birth and death of the body on the assumption that the body is self never can lead to knowledge. The body is not self, or that self is immortal, nor can information concerning the material body alone, its chemistry and dysfunctioning, heal the body. Bodies manifest life, but life is cause. Life is not in the body. Life is spirit, and spirit is still. Life is not chemistry or germ of matter. To heal the body so that it can manifest life of the spirit, self of the body, one must give the unbalanced body the balance of the spirit. Knowledge of a light can alone do this. All the information in the world will not heal a body unassisted by the light in him who heals and in him who is being healed. I am light, but the light which is me is not the sense light of the sense universe of my creation. I the Creator think. I think in two lights extended from the one light of me, yet those two lights are not me, nor is my thinking me. Verily.

I say I give of me and I take away for I am the imaginer who builds image forms to tear apart to build anew. I am thinking mind. I just thought of the tower in the tarot cards. Verily I say I give of me and I take away for I am the imaginer who builds the image forms to tear apart to build anew. I am thinking mind for ever thinking the changing image of my unchanging self. My image changes ever with the changing of the two lights of my thinking though I myself changed not. All things change and they're changing still images me yet they are not me.

From the Divine Iliad chapter seven.

Knowledge versus thinking. Man's knowledge is his power. His thinking is the expression of that power. The expression of power is not power. Therefore thinking is not power. As man gradually becomes aware of his omniscience, his thinking intensifies in voltage in proportion to the increase in awareness of his omniscience. Thinking is an electric wave extension from the centering fulcrum of knowledge which seemingly divides knowledge into ideas and sets those ideas and to create forms of ideas as product of knowledge.

Man's knowledge is like a deep well of still water. His thinking is like a two-way pump which divides the quality of that stillness into quantities of parts and sets them flowing. That is what the objective universe is. Quantities of many seemingly separate forms of ideas, all of which are but parts of the one whole idea. Each seemingly separate part is a dynamic extension of the one static unity. But separateness only seems, for all are indissolubly bound together in light as one.

Part knowledge is the foundation of man's concepts. Thinking transfers concepts into product. The quality of man's products depend upon the degree of awareness of his knowledge and not upon the quality, quantity or intensity of his thinking. Water cannot be drawn from an empty well, nor can clear water be drawn from a muddied well. Likewise, good product cannot come from intensive thinking unless knowledge backs that thinking.

No idea of mind can ever become matter. Idea of product can never become product. Moreover, no expression of anything in nature is the idea which it expresses. The product of idea is not the idea it simulates. Idea is cosmic and cannot be produced. And matter idea must be conceived in the mind before it can be simulated as product. Conceptions belong solely to the magnetic God light and never become matter.

A lever, for example, moving upon its fulcrum, expresses the idea of power by motion, but the idea of power is in the still fulcrum source of power. It is not in the moving lever. The lever would be both powerless and motionless if it did not have the stillness of the fulcrum from which to extend the simulation of power. A watch expresses the idea of time, but the watch is not time. Likewise, it expresses the idea of mechanical principles, but the watch is not the idea which is expressed by those mechanical principles. The printed poem is not the idea expressed in the poem. That printed poem has no meaning to anyone whose intelligence is insufficient to reflect the idea from the composer's mind to his own.

No idea of mind ever becomes matter. Likewise, neither the musical composition on the printed page, nor the art of music which issues as sounds from musical instruments, is the inspired idea of the musician. Inspiration can never be produced. It can but be reflected from one inspired mind to another recognized one. Idea and inspiration may be echoed from spirit to spirit, but they can never become product of matter in motion.

Man's sense seeing with his eyes binds him to the illusion of my dual thinking, for I but build illusion with my dual thinking. For his sense seen, since seeing, binds man to forms and things, while mind knowing opens doors of glory to the opposed threads of light with which I weave all idea of mind into forms of many moving things. Mind seeing descent rates unto the farthest reaches of my universe of me and sees all forms as one. With his seeing eyes, man sees light as matter energized, but sense is not that. The energy of matter is the light of my divided thinking. With a man's unseeing eyes of spirit, he knows the light of me, the source, and knows that he is bound in me as one, and I in him. Beholden me thy God of love, the one inseparable.

From the Divine Iliad chapter 8.

Thinking versus sensing. Men is still primate with very few exceptions. He has not yet learned to think powerfully from knowledge. He is just beginning to think as an extension of knowledge. We sense electrically, a mistake that electrical sensing of observed effects for thinking. Sensing is not thinking. Sensation is but an electrical awareness of wave motion by other waves. We mistake the electrical records of this information which our brains have recorded as sensation for thinking and for knowledge.

Information thus acquired by the senses is not knowledge. However, a man may have vast information and skill, but have very little knowledge. The greatest scientists of today, for example, are well-informed. They know how to do wonderful things, but they do not know why of what they do. Information from observed effects and skills and putting those effects together for useful purposes have multiplied vastly since man's first observed natural phenomena. His sense of observation told him how to make a boat, then a sail for the boat, then he discovered the wheel and fire. Electric awareness of effects of motion plus memory plus the power to reason objectively gave him the ability to do this. Very little of it has been due to either thinking or knowledge. We thus confuse sensing for thinking and knowing when factually we have been but functioning through sensed electrical awareness acquired from information. The information thus conveyed is electrical, not mental. The telegraph message which goes over any wire is not the thought conveyed by that message. Even the time telegram is not the thought conveyed by it. Its symbols inform the thinker of the thought conveyed by it, but it is not the thought.

Thus it is that our vast mechanistic, electrically motivated universe is inter sensitized for the purpose of informing every nerve ganglion in every cell of every organic and inorganic part of it of the condition of every other part of it. Our supposedly five senses, in speaking of an electrical awareness which we call sensation, we think of our senses as five in number. These are the sense of seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, and feeling. All of these five senses are about the one sense of feeling. We do not have five senses. Seeing is a sensation of feeling light waves through our eyes. Hearing is a sensation of feeling light waves through our ears. Tasting and smelling are sensations of feeling light waves reacting upon mouth and nostrils. All variation in sense of feeling is due to a difference of electric conditioning, impulsing wave matter. If pulsing wave matter is but an electric wave record of thought, the sensation likewise is but an electric wave record of thought. Neither of them have reality. Neither of them are the thought they record.

It also follows that if matter, motion, and substance are electric records of thought, the sensation has no reality, for sensation is but an electrical awareness of wave motion by other waves. It likewise follows that if matter, motion, and substance are electric wave recordings of thought, then electricity which records thought and thought itself are non-existent. There is but one thing in this universe: light. The still light of all knowing, the one light which is God. God alone lives. His thinking and imagining is knowing. The knowing universe is all that is. Knowing mind is still. There is no activity whatsoever in the universe of either spirit or matter.

Empirical knowledge. Man's present civilization is erected upon the foundation of empirical knowledge obtained through his senses. What is empirical knowledge? The definition in the dictionary is: conclusions founded upon experiment and observation alone. In other words, the so-called knowledge upon which man relies is founded upon the evidence of his senses, or more simply, upon the non-existent waves of motion of a non-existent substance. Nice, huh? That fact is the answer as to why mankind has as yet practically no knowledge. During his amoeba and jungle days, he lived a purely sensed existence. His body cells were controlled entirely by instinctive flux threads of light extended to him directly from the Creator. Man is still new. Out of millions of such years, he has had but a few thousand years since the dawn of conscious awakened in him the slightest suspicion of his spiritual inheritance.

The advance of man since the first messengers of God appeared on earth to Kindle and awakening spark in him has been based upon information gained by his senses and stored in his electric brain as memory records of sensed observations. These observations he has reasoned into sensed conclusions by an electrically sensitized brain. All such conclusions which are based upon the evidence of senses have within them the element of deception which characterized all effects of motion in this three-dimensional universe of illusion. Man is aware of some of these illusions, such as those of perspective. He is aware of the fact that railroad tracks do not meet upon the horizon, but he is not aware of the fact that all effects of motion are not what they seem to be. He is thus misled into forming conclusions which have no relation to nature whatsoever. One can have no knowledge of effect, for all knowledge lies in cause. Our new fundamental laws and principles must be based upon knowledge of cause. Laws based upon illusion. Newton, for example, confessedly did not know what gravitation was, yet wrote laws concerning it based upon his observation as to what gravitation did to an apple. Also, he concluded that the moon would fall upon the earth if it were not for its motion. He even proved this mathematically, not being aware of the fact that those same mathematical formulae would apply to every satellite, planet, and star in the heavens, as well as to every electron in every atom, none of which are falling into their primaries. Observers in natural phenomena are still calculating the age of the universe and weight of the earth. The universe is ageless. It had no beginning. Likewise, the earth has no weight in respect to anything else in the universe. Every orb in the heavens is in perfect balance with every other orb.

Messengers of the light. What little knowledge man has acquired during these last few thousand years has been given to him by the very few geniuses, prophets, mystics, and other messengers of the light who have come to Rhian spire mankind with their inspired knowledge. From these rare few, the beginnings of our culture have sprung. Without them, there would be no understanding of beauty in the world. Without beauty, men would still be barbarian. Through beauty alone will he gradually become consciously aware of his oneness with the light. When man knows the light, he will know all things. Today, that light is so dim in all mankind that no one has as yet fathom the secret of light or of gravitation, radiation, electricity, growth, life, reincarnation, or the wave. The day has now dawned when he will know these things. This is man's inheritance for this new age.

I'm probably going to wrap it up after this next set of the Divine Iliad for tonight. I'm getting sleepy, so this might be in parts. Behold in me the one light from which a seeming two lights appear as pairs of rhythmically interchanging opposites. These are my light messengers. They are my workers which build my imaged forms and give him back to me devoid of form. They are the pulsing heartbeat of my body, the makers of forever borning cycles of my imagining in forms of things. The two are equal halves, one. They never can become one. They forever interchange to simulate a balanced unity which they never find, for they never can be aught but two. From me, one light extended to give form to my imaginings and give them pulse speed to simulate eternal life in them, which is in me. The other light dissolve at that form and giveth it back to me unconditional in man through eternity's of resurrections of him in me. And say thou also that his resurrection is his own, for he is one with me. Thus my imagined dual light universe born, dissolved, and reborn, concentrated, decentrated, and re-concentrated, integrated, disintegrated, and reintegrated, forever and forever in my imagined universe of imagined time and space. And behold, each of my pairs of opposite expressions of me are reborn through me as the other one again. I say there is not but rebirth in me. There is no death. Go thou and tell to man that both life and death are but mirrors of each other which becometh each other in their forever inter passing through each other - their still fulcrum in my knowing from which both sprang into seeming being to record the imaged forms of my thinking.

From the Divine Iliad. I'm gonna let that be for tonight. I hope you've enjoyed this. I will try to get the rest of this up as quickly as possible. Thank you guys for watching. I hope you're enjoying this and keep listening. There's some really interesting stuff here. Take care until next time. Good morning. Here's the next section - the secret of light. I'm gonna see how far I can get this morning. We ended on chapter 8, so let's begin with chapter 9. Thanks again for watching.

Chapter 9.

Sensing binds all things. The electric inter sensitizing of the two pulsing light extensions of the one still light is for the purpose of recording thought patterns in matter. Mind knows but one idea as a whole. Thought is idea taken apart and patterned as separate idea. Thought is patterned idea electrically expressed and electrically recorded in matter by its two pulsing interchanging lights. This universe of matter in motion is but the electric record of thought. The process of recording is to take the one undivided Universal idea apart and express it as many seemingly divided parts. This gives form and multiplicity into many seeming parts and things of a universe of but one thing.

Electricity is the servant of the god mind. Electricity expresses the desire in the god mind for creative expression by seemingly dividing the one still light into transient waves of spectrum divided positive negative colors of light. This entire universe of seeming substantiality consists solely of transient light waves in seeming motion. Motion itself is illusion. Seeming separateness. All pattern thought creations of God or men are the interweaving of the spectrum colors of the two electric opposites of light waves into the pattern designs of those thoughts.

Creation might be likened to the tapestry weaver who knows the one idea as a whole, then thinks it in two parts, then records those parts by interweaving their space turn colors into the many forms which together manifest the whole idea. To exemplify our meaning, consider any one part of the whole idea of creation. Iron, for example. Iron is a separate part of the whole. We think of iron as a hard, cold metal with certain properties which make it possible for us to manufacture it into many products. When iron is in its frozen condition, we do not think of it as light, but we can photograph by it. If we heat it to incandescent, not only is it then light, but all of the properties which make it available to us as iron have then gone out of it. It is as though the divine tapestry Weaver had unwoven all the threads of the idea of iron and sorted them into their spectrum colors, thread by thread. The physicist can tell you what elements those threads of light would be if frozen. Upon looking at them, he would say, "That is iron," but it would not be the form of iron as we know it. It would be the formless idea of iron as the Sun knows it.

There is no separateness in the incandescent Sun. Is all idea that Earth knows the idea of the apple of Earth is in the Sun. Likewise, the wood of the tree and the violet in the meadow. Likewise, the cool Earth is there with its rivers and mountains. All idea is one idea in the light of the Sun. The light of the Sun is never divided into its many seeming separate ideas until it is electrically extended from the Sun and those extensions electrically echoed back to it. The Sun is a crucible which melts all ideas into one, then sets them out into space to cool and separate into many units of that one. Likewise, idea of mind never becomes the many ideas of creation until electricity divides the one idea into many separate parts. The one light cannot be divided, but extensions of the one light can appear to divide it. The spots of sunlight upon the cathedral floor are many, but they are all extensions of the one light of their source in the Sun. Likewise, all mankind is an extension of the one idea of man, for man is but one in the light of his source. Likewise, all moving extensions of the one still light as manifested in the white light of Suns and the black light of their surrounding space are but extensions of one source.

All idea is still. The cinema exemplifies this meaning. Upon the screen are many pattern ideas in noisy, violent motion. We know, however, that all the motion of separate ideas and all the sounds emanating from those patterned moving forms would instantly cease if the still source of light from which these images and sounds are projected were turned off. We know that the cause of all this transient division into positive and negative effect is in the one still light from which it is projected. We know that the sounds we hear emanate from that stillness, yet we seem to be totally unaware of the fact that all of our pulsing universe is but an extension of one still light of universal mind projected through positive and negative light upon the universal screen of space. It is difficult to conceive Earth and all of its phenomena of motion, sound, people, animals, and plant life as a motion picture projection from our Sun, yet all of the separate ideas of Earth are in that one incandescent light of the Sun. All are but one thing: light. Turn off the Sun, and all of its pattern ideas on Earth would instantly cease.

The still idea which is extended into motion is not in the motion, but in the stillness from which it is extended. For I say that man who senses but clay of Earth in him is bound to Earth as clayed image of his earth. Clayed images of my imagining who knoweth not me in them are but dwellers of Earth's dark. To sensed man, the doors of my kingdom are self-barred by darkness until the light of me in him is known by him as me. Until then, he is but moving clay manifesting not me in him while sensing not but moving clay of him, knowing not the glory of my light in him. Wherefore I say to thee, exalt thou thyself beyond thy sensing. Know me as fulcrum of their thinking. Be me as deep well of thy knowing.

From the Divine Iliad chapter 10.

Function of the brain. Electric awareness of observed effects of matter and motion is registered in the brain. It is commonly believed that the brain thinks and knows. The brain does not think, nor does it know. It is but a storehouse of recorded sensations. The brain remembers these records for men's usage as he needs them and for fulfilling the requirements of his body. The brain is a complex state of motion expressed by waves of light pulsing in cycles. States of motion cannot know anything, nor can they think anything. The brain is part of a machine, a human machine. Machines can express thoughts which are electrically projected through them, but machines are incapable of thinking the thoughts thus projected. Likewise, machines can do marvelous things when patterned and controlled by knowledge, but they cannot know what they do.

Thus, entering conscious mind of man's soul will alone thinks by projecting desire for creative expression through the brain machine. Desire in mind is electrically expressed. Electricity is the motivated force which projects the one light of mine two ways to create cycles of light waves for the purpose of expressing thoughts. Cycles. Desire is not in the brain. It is thus entering conscious self. Desire is the cause of all motion.

It is italicized, so I'm gonna say it again: Desire is the cause of all motion. The brain records sensations. The brain is but the electric recording mechanism of conscious mind. Thinking. It is also man's storage warehouse of electric records of memories and thoughts since his beginning. It is the servant of universal intelligence. It operates all mechanisms of the body. It acts as the central switchboard for all its instinctive, voluntary, and involuntary actions. The brain is a seat of sensation. Its purpose in this respect is to keep the body electrically informed of the condition of the body through electrical messages. Such messages are not mental. They are purely electrical. They produce the sensation. The brain senses and records every message. It sends counteracting messages to other parts of the body. The body is a vast and complex mechanism. The brain is an electrical recorder, distributor, broadcaster, and receiver for all operational parts of that multi-celled machine, but its actions have no relation to intelligence. The brain records sensations of experiences and observations which the senses convey to it. Such sensations are mistaken for thinking and knowing. Sensation arising from electrical motion is purely automatic. The mistake in assuming that the brain thinks and knows is due to the fact that man believes himself to be thinking when he is only sensing. Man also believes that he is acquiring knowledge through sensed observation of sensed affect when he is by recording electrical sensations which inform him as to the nature of things observed by his senses.

The body is a pattern machine designed to do many things. Electric motivation through nerve wires determines each movement. When such sensations act in unison with his conscious awareness of the light which centers him in person, he is then thinking as well as sensing. Thus, entering consciousness of man, the person transforms information received by the senses into knowledge to the extent of which he is capable of recognizing cause in spirit back of the effect which his senses report. Until that transformation takes place, man is without knowledge, no matter to what extent his senses may have informed him, for information is not knowledge. Amen. May be a veritable encyclopedia of information. He may have earned many college degrees for being well-informed and yet be without sufficient knowledge to create anything. For instance, we cannot sense the idea of a harp while it is still, but we can know the idea of the harp. We can know its various possibilities of expression, even though its strings are not vibrating. Likewise, we can't imagine countless complexities of rhythms which lie unexpressed within those still strings. Conversely, we cannot know the vibrations which come from those strengths when we set them in motion. We can but sense those vibrations through our own sensed electrical awareness.

The source of all things is within all things, centering them as rest from which their motions bring it. It is also without all things, controlling their balance with all other things. Man's universe is still composed of many things, many separate things, all separable. Yea, not one thing is there in my imaged universe which is apart from me, nor of itself alone. Yea, I guide my morning things from very seed by sensed threads of light, extensions of my thinking, until they themselves can guide themselves. Not in the least of these which are not bound to me in light images of my imaginings which grow from Earth and those which really move. All of these things grow and move through extended light of my dynamic thinking until they themselves can think with me.

From the Divine Iliad chapter 11.

Electrical awareness. This material universe of many seemingly separate parts is electric. The whole universe of countless parts is wired together by an electric flux of nerves which inform each part of the universe of the ever changing condition of every other part. There is no sensation between balanced parts or balanced conditions of matter. By sensation, we mean the feel of the electric current which conveys the message. The electric current is impossible in an equilibrium condition. Hence, we can feel no sensation whatsoever when our bodies or parts of them are in a balanced condition.

Electrical awareness is necessary to an electrically mechanized universe. An electrically controlled machine in one's factory has exactly the same electric awareness that a man. Its wired nervous system conveys electric messages to its parts for the dual purpose of motivating them as well as for adjusting all parts to each other in continuity. Electric machines do what electric awareness demands of them through sensation. So does man, tree, the solar system, and every nebula of the heavens. Man's body cells are electrically aware of their mechanistic purposes and respond to electric messages sent to them. They have electrical cell memory of their individual and group purposes. They act automatically when sensed reflexes are electrically motivated. Bodily functions such as our heartbeat, digestion, chemical gland transformation, breathing, and walking are automatically operated by cell memory reflexes. Cell memory and instinct causes birds to migrate, spiders to spin webs, and certain vegetable growths to close in on flies and fish. Instinctive actions and cell memory reflex actions are not mental. They are purely mechanical and automatic.

Electric awareness is the universal. This principle of electric awareness through sensation is not limited to animal life alone. It is equally characteristic of the mineral and vegetable kingdoms. It extends to the various electronic particle and to the mightiest galaxy. Not only is each particle in each mass electrically aware of its purpose, but each particle in the entire universe reacts in response to electrical messages sent to it from every other particle in the universe. This physical universe is controlled solely by electrical sensation which is measured and balanced by the still magnetic light centering all things. For behold, saith the Universal One, I am with in all things, centering them, and I am without all things, controlling them.

From the divine area. All of the electric universe of motion is thus so perfectly conditioned by the two electric workers which build the universe and tear it apart sequentially for rebuilding that all moving things in it sense all other moving things in it. Likewise, all differently conditioned things in the universe readjust their conditioning to every change of condition of every other thing in the universe. There is a constant separating process in nature which forever expresses the universal desire for change and multiplicity, and there is likewise a constant leveling process which forever expresses the universal desire for oneness.

Don't tell Dale I'm drinking from this. I like it because it looks like brothers' ten ones, but it's not. Dead I with men and creating man in my universal image. What I am, man is. I think man, and man appears in the pattern of my thinking. Man thinks man, and man appears in the image of man's thinking. Man's thinking is my thinking. All thinking things are thinking my thinking. All creating things are formed in the image of my thought imaginings. To manifest my thought imaginings, the universe is my image creature of my imaginings.

From the Divine Iliad chapter 12.

Instinct. Organic matter generates purely from the desire of mind to manifest idea into matter. That cosmic desire to create form produces the desired form. Desire is the motivating force of all creation. Man begins to express the idea of man as a single cell. The whole idea of man is in that single cell. It then unfolds in orderly time in space according to cosmic law. Likewise, the whole idea of all creation is in that single cell. All idea is omnipresent. There are no parts of the whole. Each step in the unfolding of the man idea follows the continuing desire for unfolding. Cell memory of purpose is given to each cell as it unfolds. Pattern of idea follows in sequence as desire in God mind and desire in the growing idea work together to express the idea in form. Every action of unfolding man is a part of the unfolding of the man idea as it exists as a whole in God's mind. Any desire of man is therefore a two-way extension of the light of that idea from God to man. Whatever God desires to express a man, he will express for his man's creator. Whatever man desires that God in him will create. Men must, however, co-create with God according to God's universal law. If man breaks that law, the law will break him into an equal extent. Life is a sequence of experiences. All of the expressions of desire in the unfolding of any idea are a part of the idea. They are experiences in decisions. All experiences are parts of the unfolding of any idea. Whatever those decisions are, however, they are recorded upon the individual man as his own interpretation of the main idea. Likewise, they are recorded in the whole of the race of man as the sum total of all desires and experiences of the whole man idea. As the idea of anything is one, so also the parts of that idea are one.

Instinctive intercommunication. If it were not for instinct, animal life could not survive or develop. Instinct causes mechanical actions to take place in all bodies to meet the necessities of existence. Instinct protects animal life from enemies. It tells the proper food to eat, how to build nests, how to take care of its young, how to return home when taking great distances as the carrier pigeon does, and countless other wonderful things that animals do. A salmon spawned in a certain river instinctively leaves that river and makes its way to the sea until maturity. At the proper time for its mating and spawning, it then returns over thousands of trackless miles to the very river in which it was born. It is instinct which tells birds to fly south before winter. Instinct tells them the direction of South. Instinct tells them it is warmer in that direction. Instinct likewise governs the migration of seals, the building of the Beavers Dam, and the weaving of the spider's web. Instinct might be defined as a cell memory record of all actions of a body and if all the sensations caused by the actions. The beginnings of instinct. Without instinct in all animal and vegetable life, their evolution would not be possible. All creations of the Creator are the result of electric wave recordings of the creators thought. They are parts of the whole idea taken apart and put together bit by bit. They are the result of universal law of cause and effect.

I guess I'll talk to you guys while the train is flying on by. This is really interesting stuff. It makes a lot of sense. One of the first ways I learned there is more going on to this world than I had previously thought was using a pendulum. It proves this principle what he's talking about, and he may get to that, I don't know, but it proved to me that I could know the truth and I could know things that were going on just by learning to play around with a pendulum. Anyway, fascinating. I'm gonna get back to it. I think the train will be quiet as it speeds on by. It takes millions of years for complex organisms to recognize the spirit within them sufficiently to think at all. During these long ages, they are guided almost entirely by their instinctive reflexes. Man alone has begun to think, reason, imagine, create, and invent, and then only during the last few thousand years. Instinct is therefore God control over the actions of his creations. The involuntary actions of the bodies, such as the heartbeat or the action of white corpuscles, do not know their purpose in the healing process of the body, but God centers and controls every atom of his creation, and each must fulfill its purpose.

Instinct building by God and men. A good example of the manner in which God and men work together for creative expression is the familiar knitting woman. Knitting is part of the main idea which requires a skill. A woman who desires to knit must desire to acquire that skill. Desire must precede all expression of that desire. Slowly she takes one stitch at a time. All of her power of concentration is needed to take those first stitches. Each stitch taken, however, has within it the desire for taking the next stitch. Very slowly she interlace his yarn into the pattern required. The cell of her fingers gradually acquires cell memories of their purpose. These cells coordinate with other cells of the body in the development of the whole skill. Gradually she learns to knit instinctively. Her mind is freed from concentration, and she may think of other things and converse freely. Her body cells alone will work from the memory of purpose given to them. Instinctive skills are thus imparted to bodies of men by the co-creative efforts of God and men. The pianist teaches his fingers to work instinctively in order to free his mind to think music. God is working with him. Without this moment-to-moment cooperation with God, he could do nothing. God, creator of all things, knows all things and has all power. Men and God are one. Men may know all things and have all power to the extent in which he desires to know all things and have all power. Awareness of the light in man will give him all knowledge and power. Man may not be apart from God at any time, nor can any part of creation be apart from God at any time. All things come and go from my divided thinking. All things go from very heart of me into my imaged universe, and when they disappear from there, I also take them back to very heart of me. Know though that all creating things are resurrected things again manifesting life of me through my divided thinking. Man divides his thinking in manifesting me. The body of man sleeps that it may awaken in me to manifest me. The body of man dies that it may be resurrected in me to manifest me. The body of man disappears that it may reappear to manifest me. Man who sleeps or dies or disappears, but man's image for self of man sleeps not, nor dies, nor disappears, for self of man is me again. I say that I am one, and man is one in me when he knows that I am he.

From the Divine Iliad chapter 13.

Unconsciousness, sleep, and pain. There is much confusion regarding the supposedly possible condition known as being unconscious. When we sleep or our enesta sized, we say we are unconscious. We cannot be unconscious. We have always been conscious without the slightest awareness of it. Our confusion in this respect lies in mistaking sensation and thinking for consciousness. When we stop thinking, whether a sleeper awake, we do not stop knowing, nor do we cease being consciously aware of our being. We but cease to set our knowledge in motion to express idea through the pulsations of thinking. Conscious mind does not sleep. Sleep is merely the negative half of the wave cycle of electrical awareness of sensation. Wakefulness is the positive half. All nature sleeps when the sunlight lessens the ability of all things to manifest life. Sleep is the death half of the life-death cycle. One may say, "I am unaware of this or that," but one cannot say, "I am unconscious," when one is always conscious. Conscious awareness is knowing. Unawareness means that one does not yet know. Knowledge is within him which he can know when he desires to know.

Sleep and wakefulness are positive-negative wave parts of a wave cycle, just as birth and death are opposite ends of a life cycle. Sleep is but an anesthetic. Sleep can be induced chemically either to the whole body or any part of it by desensitizing it cells. When the body or parts of it are thus put to sleep, they have not been rendered unconscious. Their voltage has merely been lowered. The does not refer to a local anesthetic as having produced unconsciousness. He refers to it as a desensitizing condition. But when the surgeon desensitizes the body, it is then supposed to be unconscious. We assume that the brain has stopped thinking. The brain does not think, therefore it cannot stop doing that which it never does. We assume that body ceased to be conscious, but consciousness is never in bodies. A local anesthetic stops pain. Pain is a too intense electric current. The voltage is too great for the nerve wires to stand the strain. They burn out, and the overcharge of burning out causes the pain. When the nerves of the body feel an electrical current running through them, the body is aware that something is happening to throw it out of balance. When the body is in balance, it has no sensation. When the body is unbalanced, sensation informs it when and where. Otherwise, it could not function. Wakefulness and sleep are merely the charging and discharging of the uncountable electric batteries of the body. If these batteries were kept constantly charged, there would be no such alternating conditions as sleep and wakefulness. This planet is carrying us on our uphill journey to our pinnacle. The Sun is a generator which charges its batteries. The Sun is that generator, but the Earth is turning toward and away from its generator continually. As the Sun's charging light disappears from one edge of the planet's rim, and evening, everything goes to sleep. Conversely, all things awaken at the dawn. The batteries of all things on Earth are being forever charged daily and discharged nightly.

I center the moving shaft of my universe, yet I move not, although its power to move spring it's from me. I center growing systems and changing cells of growing systems, yet I change not, and though their changing patterns spring from me. I sent you're living things which manifest my life, but they live not. I alone live. Growing things are moving things in men's sensing, though they move not in man's knowing. Moving things are changing things in man's sensing, yet they change not in man's knowing. In though fast moving things of man sensing move fast, they simulate the rest while moving from which they sprang into seeming motion.

From the Divine Iliad chapter 14.

Motion simulating rest. This electric universe of motion forever moves to find rest, but never finds it. Matter in violent motion simulates rest and balance through violent motion. The more violent the motion, the greater is the illusion of rest and balance. Motion can cease, but it can never become rest. This make-believe universe. The entire dynamic wave universe of electric matter is not what it seems to be. Everything which seems at rest depends upon violent motion to make believe it is at rest. A wire wheel could appear to be a steel disc if spun fast enough. The faster it is spun, the more at rest it would seem. This planet, seemingly at rest, is in violent motion around its centering point of rest from which it is electrically extended. Seemingly motionless clouds floating above the Earth are rotating with it at the tremendous speed of 1,000 miles an hour at the equator, or four times faster than a plane. All the planets are evolving swiftly around their central Sun, which seemingly standstill in the heavens of space, but in fact is moving with incredible speed. Likewise, all the stars of night, simulating rest, are moving at terrific speeds to adjust their mutual imbalances in this dual universe of divided pressure. The pencil in one's hand, the desk upon which one is writing, the room full of motionless things seeming to be at rest, are but simulating rest through violent motion of their many parts. Tremendous vibrations may be in that glass paperweight. Not one thing could manifest the rest it simulates if it were not for the incredible speeds of those atoms which so incessantly rotate and revolve to make that seeming restfulness possible. Even still things are not still. All seemingly still matter is manifesting make-believe rest by and make-believe motion. Motion itself is illusion. The motion one senses in one's brain has no more reality than the motion which one senses in a motion picture. The seeming motion of the cinema is caused by sequences of changing pattern forms projected on the screen which give the impression of motion because of the rapid change of pattern in the negatives. That self same illusion applies to the material universe. Without change, my play of creation could not be played, nor its actors be behold. Therefore, the changing universe of my imagining, the seeming universe of my thinking. And again I say that there is no change in me, the changeless one. So also is there no change in my thought universe of pairs of opposed things which forever interchange to simulate my universe of change. He in the seeming changing of my thought universe is not changed, save for senses of sense things which are bound two pairs of parts of holes. Each pair when did its way through the interchanging pressures of its electric journey, each appeareth then disappeared to reappear. He in those senses of sense things since changing in all things, they change not to conscious knowing why. For be thou slave to sensing, rise above thy sensing. Be me in thy knowing.

From the Divine Iliad chapter 15.

The illusion of change. Change is an illusion of the senses due to motion. There is no change whatsoever in the conscious universe of knowing. There is only an illusion of change set up by the two interchanging lights of thinking to divide the one whole idea into many separate ideas and record them in moving matter. The senses are the audience for these thought pulsations. The senses are a part of this illusion. Senses are electric. They belong to the thought universe of motion and do not respond to stillness. As motion itself is non-existent, so also are senses non-existent. The senses are but the imagined records of imagined motion and change. As such, they are limited to pinhole peeks into the vastness which extends beyond their sensing. The senses have no knowledge of what they sense. They merely record motion. The senses respond to motion in only one direction. They sense the forward flow of time, but not its backward flow. If they could register both directions, they would become aware of the stillness of the zero universe of seeming motion. The Universal One planned it this way, otherwise there could be no sequential manifestation of thought which constitutes the creating universe. When our knowing exceeds our sensing, we will no longer be deceived by the illusions of our senses. A man seeing a Technicolor motion picture for the first time and without knowledge of such electric effects would think he were looking through a window at real happenings, unaware that it was but an illusion created by projecting positive light through pattern negatives. That is all that creation is. Two lights projected through each other to simulate motion, form, and change. Our senses are like passengers on a fast-moving train. They sense parts of the landscape as they rush forward, while to their senses the landscape rushes backwards. The senses interpret these effects as matter in fast motion, which is forever fast changing. A man seeing the same train from a mountain would sense that same fast motion and fast change as changeless and still. As man unfolds from sensed man to spiritual man, he gradually becomes aware of the two-way motion of all effect. That two ways being the visible effect which responds to his senses and the invisible effect which he knows but does not sense. Gradually the time arrives in his unfolding when his full awareness of cause voids all reliance upon sensation. He then rises above his sensing. He then knows the universe of motion for what it is instead of for what it seems to be. See thou no more without her eyes alone, for thou hast knowing eyes to avoid the illusions of thy sensing. Throughout long eons, man hath walked his earth with eyes of outer scene, giving belief to that earth of his body sensing. Throughout his new yawns, he must walk the earth of inner seeing and no me in it as but visioning it in light of me and light of him, for I think Earth and Earth appeareth, disappear and reappear in balanced rhythms of my thinking. Wherefore I say, man's Earth and men are but my imagining to come and go with my imagining. It is not me, nor is it him, nor is it in what it seems to be to him, nor shall man longer place Earth before me, gaining aught of Earth and not of me, for I am a patient God. I patiently await awakening man. Awakening man is he who knoweth the light of me in him. Man may choose his own ian's for his awakening, but know me he must until that day. Man's agony of knowing shall be man's alone. His knowing must be his own desiring knowing. Man is ecstatic cosmic man, he who beginneth to know me in him. Yeh, in him who suspect with me in him, hastening a--the his unfolding to cosmic man of all-knowing.

From the Divine Iliad chapter 16.

The senses deceive. Imagine a perfectly motionless wheel and a fly walking around its rim, moving ever forward over changing round, and the wheel seemingly moving backward during a continuity of time in which the fly sensed a constant change in the changeless wheel. Every time the fly got back to the same point, it would compute the past time consumed on the journey and the forward time necessary for the next circuit. The wheel being still, motion, change, and time are created by the fly itself as it takes the whole idea of the wheel apart by journeying around it and examining it bit by bit. The fly sensed motion by changing its position on the wheel. It sensed change by finding a seeming difference of condition at each forward movement. It sends time by creating the

The sequence is necessary in taking the one idea of the wheel apart and dividing it into many separate ideas. This simple analogy is a good symbol of creation.

This planet, like to fly on the wheel, moves forever around its motionless orbit. The orbit is as rigid and still as the wheel upon which the fly is moving. As the planet moves upon the wheel of its orbit, it senses constant motion and change. Its senses changes of days into nights, of spring merging into summer, autumn into winter. All of these seeming changes are in the motion of the planet and not in the wheel of its orbit. Each change is entirely due to the motion of the planet and not the changeless orbit. The planet itself registers change on its changeless wheel. Change, therefore, lies in motion alone.

The senses are motion; therefore, the senses sense only that which they themselves are.

Adequacy of the Senses. Man overrates his senses. He places too much dependence upon them without justification, for they are not recording all of the phenomena of his surroundings. He likewise trusts them too much without justification, for they are constantly deceiving him. While his senses are recording the stillness and rest of nature on a lazy afternoon, they are failing to record the violent motion of everything in his entire environment, from the blade of grass to the clouds and the heavens above him. Those seemingly motionless clouds are moving at the speed of a thousand miles an hour at the equator, without the slightest evidence of that swift motion being recorded upon his senses. The earth also is moving many miles per second in two directions: one of rotation upon its axis and the other of revolution around its orbit. His senses register stillness; they are electrically unaware of that motion. This deception is as it should be, just as the same deception in a cinema is as it should be.

God's universe is about an electric recording of His knowing, manifested by His thinking. Thus, record the idea of His knowing in the two lights of His thinking. A three-dimensional universe is necessary. If the senses could detect and record all motion instead of a part of it, the illusion would disappear. The senses would see behind the illusion and find that all motion voids itself. Division of the whole into parts causes the illusion. If the film were removed from the projector of the motion picture, the illusion of motion and change would be voided. That is what creation is: the one light of knowing divided into the pattern parts of thinking.

Sensing is but an electric tension set up by the seeming division of one into many, which strain to fulfill their desire for oneness. When a unity of condition is consummated, sensation between those parts ceases because the tension ceases. The senses, being but tension of desire for unity between divided parts, have no existence. The senses are electric flux threads of light connecting every particle in the universe with every other particle. They are the intercommunicating nerves of the one universal body. When strain of desire for balance, rest, or unity ceases, sensation ceases. In this electric universe, sensation is the strain of resistance to the separation which exists between all separated masses. All matter is one. Separated particles desire to find that oneness. It is part of God's plan that the senses are limited entirely to the recording of a very small fraction of effect. The senses can never sense the whole, but the conscious mind can know the whole.

These words are now safe or newly comprehending men of his new cycle. Love ye one another, all men, for ye are one in me. Whatsoever ye do - one in me you do - all for all are one in me. Love thy brother as thyself. Serve thy brother before thyself. Lift high thy brother; lift him to high pinnacles, for thy brother is thyself. For of a verity I say, love of self or nation of selves turneth neighbor against neighbor and nation against nation. Self-love breeds hate, and so if its seed in all the winds to blow wherever it will. Wear for say I, love of neighbor for neighbor and nation for nation. United all men as one. Serve first thy brother; hurt first thyself rather than thy neighbor. Gain not from him unbalanced by thy giving. Protect the weak with thy strength, for if thou used thy strength against him, his weakness will prevail against thee, and thy strength will avail them not. He who giveth love prospereth mightily, but he who taketh ought gain if not why for lose all to gain the world, gaining not. He who hath it's not laid up a treasure in heaven to equal treasure gained of earth has sought the dark; for him the light is far from the divine.

Iliad, Chapter 17. Man's New Cycle. This coming age will mark an epochal advancement: man's evolution toward his goal of omniscience and omnipotence. Man becomes a higher being with greater power as he acquires knowledge. In knowledge alone lies power. Only through knowledge can man become co-creator with God. Knowledge can be obtained by man only through awareness of the Spirit within him. Lack of that awareness is the tragedy of today's civilization.
