Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East – VOL 3

Chapter XIV

 

 

As we neared Hardwar, about a day’s journey from the city, we stopped at the home of an American whom we called Weldon. He gave us a hearty welcome and insisted upon our remaining with him for a few days.

Weldon, a well-known writer, who had lived in India for many years, was in sympathy with and deeply interested in our work. He had asked several times to join our party, but circumstances had been such that we could not include him. As we sat in his garden next day, relating our experiences, Weldon suddenly remarked that he had never fully accepted the authenticity of the history of life of the man called Jesus of Nazareth. He had studied available records carefully but they had all seemed vague and lacking in conclusion. Finally, he had given up in despair, as there were very grave doubts in his mind that such a character existed. Our Chief asked him if he were brought face to face with this man, did he think he would know Him, and how would he recognize Him?

Weldon replied: “You have touched upon a subject that has been the greatest motivating ideal of my whole life. You will never know the absorbing interest with which I have looked forward to some sign of actual truth of the man’s existence in bodily form upon this earth. Each year my doubts have grown stronger until I have despaired of ever finding a trace that I can place full confidence in. However, there has always been something away back somewhere that I might define as a vague thought or ray of hope that sometime, somewhere, if I could meet this man face to face without a suggestion from any outside source, I would know Him positively. Instinctively this thing wells up before me; and I say this to you—I have never before voiced it—I know I would know Him. This is the most sincere feeling I have ever experienced and, if you will pardon me for the repetition, I will say again, I know I would know Him.”

That evening as we were preparing to retire, our Chief came to us and said: “You all heard the conversation regarding the man Jesus this afternoon. You recognized the sincerity of our friend. Shall we invite him to go with us? We do not know nor have we any way of determining whether this man that is known as Jesus of Nazareth will be at our destination. We cannot check his movements; in fact, we only know that he has been there. If we invite Weldon to go and the man is not there, will it not result in further disappointment and serve no good purpose? Weldon seems anxious to go with us; since none of us knows that this man Jesus will be there, there will be no suggestion from any of us in any way. In this, I think the time is auspicious.” We all agreed.

The next morning our Chief invited Weldon to accompany us. Instantly his face lighted up with anticipation. After a moment’s reflection, he said he had an assignment for the following Wednesday and would be obliged to return by that time. As this was Thursday, he would have six days. Our chief thought the time sufficient; so we decided to leave that afternoon. We went well and we reached our destination before noon of the second day.

As we arrived, we noticed a group of twelve people sitting together in the garden of the lodge we were to occupy. As we approached they all arose and the owner of the lodge came forward to greet us. In the group we saw the man Jesus standing. Before anyone could say a word or make a suggestion, Weldon had stepped from our midst, with both hands extended; and with a joyous exclamation rushed forward, clasping Jesus’ hands in his, saying, “O, I knew you, I knew you. This is the most divine moment of my whole life.”

When we realized what had taken place, there was something akin to divine joy that swept through us as we behold the rapture of our friend. We stepped forward and exchanged greetings as Weldon was introduced to the group.

After lunch, while sitting in the garden, Weldon said to Jesus, “Won’t you talk to us? I have been waiting a lifetime for this moment.”

There was silence for a few moments, then Jesus began: “In the silence of the hour, I would have you know that the Father to whom I speak and who dwells within me, is the same loving Father who dwells in all and to whom all can speak and know just as intimately as I do.

“A breath of wondrous glory sweeps across the chords that vibrate with a life pure and divine. It is so pure that the waiting silence stops, and intently listens; the fingers of the great and knowing One of yourself, touches your hand with lingering softness; and the voice as always is telling you of the Father’s great and glorious love. Your voice is saying to you, ‘I know you are with me, and together you and I are God.’ Now the Christ of God stands forth. Won’t you erase every limitation and stand with me in spirit? Greater thoughts have not been given than these I give unto you. It does not matter that men say it cannot be. You, each one of you, are standing forth the Divine Master, conquering and in full dominion, just as you have seen me conquer. The time is here; the fulfilling pure thought that you have sent out to the Divine Master has come to fruition in your own body and the soul has taken complete command. With me you soar to heights celestial.

“We lift these bodies up until their shining radiance becomes a blaze of pure, white light and together we have returned to the Father from whence all have come forth.

“God our Father is pure light emanation and from this vibrating light all come forth; in this vibration all stand together with God. In these vibrating emanations of light all material consciousness is erased and we see creations projected forth from the formless into form, all things renewed every instant. In the primal cosmos, aqueous or God substance, all things exist and, because of that existence, the vibrations are so high that none perceive them. Unless one stands forth in spirit as we do, it is necessary to raise the vibrations of the body to spirit vibrations.

“Now we can see creation going on all the time, as creation is caused by the radiation of cosmic light vibrations generated in the great Cosmos; and this radiation is the great universal life or light energy that sustains all and is called the Father of radiation or vibration. It is the Father of radiation because its radiation will shatter any other radiation or vibration.  In reality it only sets them aside in order that other forms may take their place.

“When our body vibrates in tune with Spirit vibrations, we are light vibrations, the greatest of all vibrations, God the Father of all vibrations.

“It will soon be proved that these cosmic rays constitute such a terrific bombardment that they are destructive to so-called matter. These rays are from the source of all energy, the Father of all elements, the source from which all elements come. This is not destruction, this is transmutation from so-called matter to spirit form.

“It will soon be known that these cosmic rays have such tremendous penetrating power that they penetrate through all mass, shattering as it were, the very heart or nucleus of a so-called atom, transmuting it into atoms of other substance and thereby creating other elements of higher order; and in this way, creation advances into a higher emanation of pure light or life itself.

“These radiations, which have such tremendous penetrating power, are readily distinguished from all radiations coming from the earth or sun galaxy and have complete control over all these radiations or vibrations. It will soon be known that these radiations come from a universal source, unseen, and that the earth is continuously subjected to a terrific bombardment of these rays that are so potent they change or transmute atoms of one element into the Infinite particles of another element. It will also be found that when this cosmic ray strikes the nucleus of an atom, it does shatter it. It separates this atom into the minute particles of another substance, causing transmutation from a lower to a higher element. Thus, these radiations do not destroy matter; they transmute it from a lower to a higher element—from the material to spiritual.

“This higher element is as man dictates; it is higher as he names and uses it for a higher purpose. When man stands forth in spiritual vibrations, he can fully determine and regulate these rays and their mode of action.

“Thus to man, standing in spiritual vibrations, transmutation is going on all the time all about him. Transmutation is but creation in the higher sense. Thus all are created where they stand. Creation never ceases; it is continuous, never ending.

“The emanations of radiation from the Cosmos are made up of light and are composed of so-called light bullets that burst forth from the Cosmos. This greater Universe is around and encloses and surrounds all universes, to the extent that the suns absorb and bring into its central sun, conserve, concentrate and build up, all the energy that is dissipated from the universes. This central sun becomes so full of vibrating, pulsing energy, and this energy becomes so condensed that the so- called light bullets are shot out with such radiating force that, when they collide with the nucleus of another atom, that atom is shattered but not destroyed. Its particles are transmuted into particles of other elements which are finally assimilated into the element to which they belong; then that element comes to life.

“Life is the energy that is released by this so-called bombardment of light bullets; and that portion absorbed by the particles released is called the life of the particle, or of the whole element; while the portion of the energy released but not absorbed as life, is returned or drawn back to the Cosmos as it were. It is again concentrated and condensed until it can be again shot forth to collide with and shatter other atoms, thus creating the particles that go to create the atom of another element.

“Thus creation is continuous, everlasting; expanding and concentrating, then through reduced vibrations, condensing into form.

“This intelligent, emanating, Energy—is God, controlling the universe around us, as well as controlling the universe of our bodies which are spiritual and not material.

“This transmutation is not disintegration. The intelligence so directs that only a few of these light bullets strike the nuclei of other atoms, at a time ratio and in complete conformity to law, so that no manifestation is overbalanced.

“Man, one with this supreme intelligence, can in an orderly way, step up this impingement, so that his needs are fulfilled instantly. In this way, man hastens the slow process of nature. He does not interfere with nature; he works with nature in a higher rate of vibration than that in which nature works in the lower order of concept. ‘Lift up your eyes and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.’ [St. John 4:35]. All is vibration and corresponds to the plane or field upon which vibration acts. The planes or fields spoken of have no reference to the concentric bands or shells that surround the earth. These concentric shells or layers are ionization bands which enclose the earth and reflect back vibrations originating on the earth but they do not impede or shut out Cosmic light rays. It is through them that transmutation or creation is going on all the time. Even our bodies are transmuted from a lower to a higher condition and we become the conscious directors of this change by keeping the thoughts and, therefore, the body attuned consciously to the higher vibrations. Thus we attune the body consciously to a higher vibratory rate and we become that vibration.

“In this condition the master waits. As you stand now, you are master, you are ruler over all conditions. Now you know that the glory and the consciousness of a Divine creation is far above any material thought.

“The first step is fully and completely to control all outer activities of thought, mind, and body, with the thought always uppermost that you are cultivating the habit of perfection, the God habit, the Christ-of-God habit. Do this wherever you are, every time it comes to you during your working or resting hours. See this perfect presence within you. Get into the habit of seeing this perfect presence as your real self, this Christ-of-God presence. Then go a little further. See a Divine White Light, dazzling in purity and brilliance emanating forth from the very center of your being. See it shining forth with such brilliance and glory that it emanates from every cell, fibre, tissue, muscle, and organ of your whole body. Now see the true Christ of God standing forth, triumphant, pure, perfect, and eternal. Not the Christ of me, but your own true Christ of God, the only begotten of your Father God, the only true son of God, the triumphant and all conquering Godhead. Step forth and claim this as your divine right and it is yours.

“Every time you say, ‘God,’ know fully that you are presenting God; and you will do the world a greater service by so doing than by presenting me as the Christ of God.  It is far greater and nobler to see yourself as the Christ of God, you yourself presenting God to the world and beholding God as yourself.

“You sit back and pray to me to intercede for you. It is wonderful that you do present me to the world as the Christ of God and recognize the God qualities presented through me, just so long as you do not make an idol or image of me and then pray to that idol. The moment you make a graven image of me and pray to that image, you debauch me and yourselves. It is well to see the ideal that I or anyone else presents, then make that ideal your very own. Then we are not apart or separate from God; as such, man conquers the world. Do you not see the greater thing to be accomplished by standing forth ONE with us in God?

“If you cultivate this with love, reverence, devotion, and worship, it becomes a habit and soon it is all of you, your daily life and existence. In a short time you have brought forth Divinity. You are once more the Divine Christ, the first-born of God. You are One with Primal Spirit, Energy.

Actually feel, see, and take hold of this Great Light; accept, declare, and know positively that it is yours; and in a short time, your body will actually send forth this light.

“In every age and every condition, all through the great immensity, this supreme light has existed; it is everywhere. This light is life.

“When anything is made plain, we are enlightened regarding it. The light shines forth into our conscious concept. Soon the LIGHT of LIFE will shine forth to your watching eye, as it has to all great ones. Many of these great ones are portrayed standing forth in a great blaze of light.

Although you may not see it, this light is real and is life, radiating from your body.”

Here Weldon asked if we might talk over some of the Bible teachings; and Jesus readily assented. We arose and walked out of the garden together. Weldon exclaimed, “Just think! Here you have contacted these people and I have lived in the same neighborhood and never recognized them. This day has indeed been a revelation to me. A new world, a new light, a new life stands revealed.”

We asked him how he recognized the man Jesus. He answered, “You marvel that I recognized the man for what he is. I do not know how I know. I know and nothing can shake that knowing.”

We suggested that if he kept his assignment, it would be necessary for him to leave the following Monday and that two of our party would leave for Darjeeling on that day and would accompany him.

“Leave,” he replied. “I have already dispatched a messenger asking another person to take my assignment. I am staying here. You just try to send me away.”
