The Power of the Divine Touch - Part I

[QUOTING]

A new human race has been born in the world! A new people is emerging, the promised people, the people of the Lord, the people of God!

The prophesying stage with reference to this happening has now come to an end as we have entered the period of more or less extensive realization. This is why we no longer speak in an introductory sense, but must now explain the course of these events, so that you can take into account all relevant factors and integrate them into your life. This is how you should understand 'marching into the promised land'. It does not mean that you should change your place of residence, but that you prepare to form part of the new group of men and women! You will thus understand that there is much to discuss, consider and carefully study.

First of all, we have to broach an old subject discussed at length in our ranks by stating that Christ is not a hierophant of majestic stature residing somewhere outside the dense material world, but is first of all an impersonal, limitless Being, manifesting Himself as Light, as Power, as a mighty Radiation-Field. This radiation-field of Christ which has appeared among us, giving no rest or peace to this dark world-order, exerts a great influence, or rather, a whole series of influences.

Modern man is well aware of the fact that radiation invisible to the eye can exert such a great influence. In the medical world, in military technology and in many laboratories, experiments are now being conducted with invisible rays.

Well, there is a radiation that has a detaching effect, and there is a radiation that might be considered as drawing or attracting. The first group is called the ultraviolet and the second, infrared. The Radiation-Field of Christ, being complete in itself, contains a complete spectrum and can hence be envisioned as a Sun, an invisible Solar body, the radiation and influences of which must be both attaching and detaching. The following explanation may give you a picture of the agency of these two different, yet harmoniously interacting influences and forces of the Radiation-Field of Christ.

The attracting or infrared light of the Divine Sun touches you at a given moment. Now, when your heart-sanctuary is of a special nature, referred to in our philosophy as the nature of a spirit-spark entity, meaning that there is a spirit-spark atom in your right heart ventricle, then you will react to the attracting Light; in fact, you will be obliged to react. The ordinary consciousness does not know of this; the "I" will even spontaneously oppose it and give rise to various caricatural utterances; it will, however, together with your whole being, be dragged along in a torrent of reaction. The entire human being will thus be subjected to a whole series of experiences, due to the fact of having been struck by the infra-red light-wave of the Divine Sun. Millions of men and women in this world personally know these intense disquietings and the inexplicable experiences resulting from them.

The fact that man is literally attracted by this Light-wave explains why the mystical language speaks of 'calling'. This infrared impulse, this attracting Light is indeed a Call. You must know, however, that there is both an earthly, natural infrared and an infrared from the Divine Sun! When God calls you, He touches you with that Light!

If, when called, one does not feel this disquieting, the continuous inner tumult, one can be sure that it was not the Divine infrared by which one was struck. It was the calling of a purely dualistic influence in harmony with the ordinary I-being and in no way capable of touching the spirit-spark atom.

When we are called by the true spiritual Sun, and follow the call, we simultaneously have to leave something behind, because the attracting infrared is always accompanied by the detaching ultraviolet. This is the meaning of the words:

"Go, sell what you possess, and follow Me".

This is the meaning of 'cornerstone freemasonry'. Whoever wishes to build on the 'cornerstone' - the Light of the Divine Sun - must take into consideration both effects of this Light: the destructive and the constructive; both loss and gain!

[END QUOTING]

Transfiguration, the process of transmutation by which man is converted from caterpillar to butterfly, is a real process. It is attainable by all who possess the spirit-spark atom within their hearts, the divine spark.

Because we are constantly surrounded by the Radiation-Field of the Christ, we are constantly being 'called'. However, if our divine-spark is closed off, still in the rosebud state, we will not react to this Call. It is only when we adopt the quality of faith and open ourselves up to this mighty, Divine Touch that the process can begin. The Rose will begin to open. We can then take our first tottering steps upon the Path of Return.
