In the beginning, there was the creation of this solar system and, contained within that ongoing work, the creation of the Earth. The initiation of the creation of this planet occurred around 312,000 years ago. The Bible records, in mystical and metaphorical language, the creation of the Earth. Reference there is to the Garden of Eden—the heaven and the earth. The homeland, the Motherland, the place of origination for mankind, was a continent called Lemuria, which was located in what we now know as the Pacific Ocean; and from this original homeland the patterns of Divine life spread out around the Earth. This Divine civilization encompassed the globe—Divine Man and Divine Woman walked the Earth after this setting for ongoing creation had been established.
A story in the Bible, the Book of Job, outlines in highly refined essence something about the focus of the spirit of seven-dimensional life on this planet. Job, it is said, was “the greatest of all the men of the East,” a man who “feared God and eschewed evil.” With some study and spiritual insight it can be understood that this One named Job is the same One who came on earth as Jesus, the Christ—the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, the LORD of the Sacred Seven. The story of Job provides some evidence of the pattern of life on this planet as it was present in Lemuria at the time of the fall of man—and the presence of this One who held a point of absolute positive polarity during a time of degeneration and cataclysm which rocked the Earth, and changed the whole planetary design within our solar system.
We speak of the time of the fall—from the point of the perfection of the Divine Design as it was manifest on the planet—as beginning about 28,000 years ago. Many on earth are now aware of the story of the sinking of the continent of Lemuria, an event which related to cataclysmic interaction with other planets of this solar system—principally Jupiter and Saturn, and later Venus and Mars. Much of the manifest, sacred, seven-dimensional life of this Earth (Eden) was destroyed at that time. A thousand years after the sinking of Lemuria, the continent of Atlantis also sank—and the glorious, once-seamless, Divine civilization and pattern of Divine life was eliminated. Mankind was not completely destroyed during these massive cataclysms. There was a Sacred Thread maintained through the life ways that were still present in the body and consciousness of human beings who did survive in various locations around the world.
In the Garden state as it had been originally established, there was an order of Melchizedek Priesthood providing Divine education and Sacred government for all manifestations of life prior to the fall. After the fall, from the Divine standpoint, through a remnant of this Priesthood, there was immediate provision made for the restoration of the consciousness of mankind once again to a oneness between Creator and creation. The polarity between creation and Creator would have to be restored in consciousness and the government of Divine life would have to be rebuilt in every sphere on Earth.
There is a passage in the Bible, referring to Lemuria before its destruction, which speaks of Adam and Eve and their two sons, Cain and Abel—who represent, respectively, the material aspect of man and spiritual aspect of man. The beginning of the fall is depicted as the slaying of Abel by Cain, the slaying of the spiritual aspect of mankind by the material aspect—there are male and female in both the spiritual and the material aspects. Immediately there was another son born, one named Seth—“another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew”—another seed provided that men might once again “call upon the name of the Lord.” This allegorical story is evidence of the seed, the planting, and the provision of the means, by which Divine consciousness might be restored in human beings on Earth.
This historical lineage brings us to an awareness of a great one named Enoch, of whom it is said that “he walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” In other words, his human identity was absorbed completely into his Divine reality in the perfect generations of his life—something immaculate is represented here in these few short words. We recognize that from this lineage came Noah, and of him it is said that he was “a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.” Noah received an understanding of what he was to provide—salvation of life saved on Earth during a time of great cataclysm to come. The story of Noah and the story of the great flood are the story of the sinking of the continent of Atlantis. It is a story which portrays a nucleus of a few people around the planet who were guided to make provision for, and secure, the life pattern of the Divine Design within human consciousness. The sinking of Atlantis is the story of human consciousness wrongly polarized, thus creating cataclysmic destabilization of the planet Earth itself, with the effects of that imbalance revealed in the whole solar system.
After the sinking of Lemuria and Atlantis mankind went through a 7,000-year devolution in consciousness, a time known historically as the period of the caveman. It was a cycle of massive devolution and degeneration, of darkness and desolation. Most human beings died and many life forms were destroyed—but the original Divine seed remained alive and incarnate in the body of mankind, and in focus through a few who represented the Priesthood. Eventually civilization began to rise once again in various locations around the Earth, and an apex, a focalization, for this new emergence began to gather in what we know now as the Middle East.
This carries us to about 2200 BC. At this time, larger cycles and forces came together and, through the divinely orchestrated patterns of incarnation, a focus of leadership began to emerge once again through human consciousness. In the delicate, precarious, and tenuous conditions of that era, a great one named Abraham was born—a spiritual pioneer of very high order. He became aware of his Divine commission, which carried with it a dawning recognition that he and his heirs were to provide a conscious continuation of the Original Seed. Through him that seed would grow, and spread over the whole Earth, offering an opportunity to once again populate the Earth with an order of Divine men and women. There was a great promise which became apparent within the mind and heart of Abraham, and he was drawn to meet a mysterious One named Melchizedek, King of Salem, Priest of the Most High God—a being not restricted to the material dimensions and conditions of this world. Melchizedek was a guide for Abraham, leading him into greater understanding of his responsibility to initiate a new cycle on the planet, what has been called the First Sacred School.
Out of the seed of Abraham, and the womb of his wife Sarah, their son Isaac was born; and out of Isaac and his wife Rebekah came Jacob. These three men, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—the Patriarchs—became the fathers of a promise for a new generation of life. Abraham, in order to carry forward the pattern of the Original Seed of the Garden, had to meet victoriously many of the distorted ways of fallen man. Cannibalism and many bizarre forms of worship were prevalent in a degenerate world. It was with regard to his son Isaac that Abraham delivered his people out of the ways of human sacrifice which were dominant after the fall. He pioneered the way into much new substance in consciousness for mankind. Isaac carried forward the lineage of the emerging presence of Divine Light, and bequeathed this responsibility to his son Jacob.
Jacob went through an inner transformation and illumination—Self-realization. He became aware of the Lord incarnate within his own Body Temple. The experience is described in beautiful language in the Bible: “Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not. And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.” Trembling before the power and the light of a new understanding that was beginning to dawn, of the magnitude of the Lord incarnate in the Body Temple known as Jacob, and awakening to a realization of his Divine identity and his great responsibility, his name was changed from Jacob to Israel. This change in name is a recognition that he was to carry a consciousness of God in action through his flesh and his seed, that it might germinate and growand cover the Earth. He was a focus point for what would emerge initially through a nucleus of people in this region but which was destined, eventually, to emerge through all mankind, restored in right polarity and attunement with the Divine.
Jacob, who became Israel, had twelve sons. One of those sons was Joseph. Joseph, being a dreamer and a visionary who aroused the indignation of his brothers—because he was a young man of compelling presence, bold vision and capacity—was sold into slavery. He landed-up in Egypt, the land of darkness, where the magnificence of his spiritual intellect and brilliant perception brought him very quickly into a position of primary leadership in the house of Pharaoh. Joseph became next to Pharaoh in leadership over the whole of Egypt. During his lifetime there was famine in Egypt, and throughout the Middle East. It was that famine which brought the House of Israel—the eleven brothers and their families, along with their father, Israel—down into Egypt to buy food, whereupon, after much intrigue, they were reunited with their brother Joseph. Joseph's two sons and the remaining brothers became the Thirteen Tribes of the House of Israel—the Twelve Tribes, with the Thirteenth Tribe representing the Priesthood. After the death of Joseph and his brothers, and an ensuing 400-year period, a new Pharaoh came to the throne. While the previous Pharaoh had welcomed the presence of the House of Israel, the new Pharaoh enslaved the growing population of Israelites. Within that pattern of enslavement, because of cosmic cycles that were on the move and the new opportunity that was opening in the emergence of the First Sacred School, came the incarnation and birth of Moses, who was a mighty spiritual leader. The name Moses means, “I drew him out of the water”—and this was a Water Cycle.
Though Moses had been raised by Pharaoh's daughter and trained in Pharaoh’s household, and being highly educated in the temples of Egypt, he recognized that he was an Israelite and not an Egyptian. After killing an Egyptian who had been brutally beating an Israelite, Moses fled into the desert to take refuge, became a sheep-herder, and eventually he married the daughter of the priest of Midian. For forty years he tended his flocks and considered his responsibilities as an Israelite. In this desert land, Moses went through an awakening to his Divine commission. He was an educated man, had a fine intellect, and was an immense spirit, and he went through a great illumination—awakening to the Name and the Presence of God incarnate in his own Being: I AM THAT I AM. Moses understood that he was a manifestation of God in human form: “I AM hath sent me”—God in the flesh. So Moses realized that he was incarnate with a Commission to lead the children of Israel out of bondage and into a Promised Land, into an entirely new state of consciousness and function.
The great work of Moses was bringing into manifestation the formation of the Tabernacle, within which was the symbolic formation of the Holy of Holies, with its Holy Place, its Outer Court, with the encampment of the Twelve Tribes round about—and with the Thirteenth Tribe, the Levites, who represented the original Melchizedek Priesthood. Each Priest was drawn out of one of the Twelve Tribes, each Priest serving in season the Holy Place. The Ark of the Covenant was within the Tabernacle, in the Holy of Holies. This was a new manifestation of the Divine Design which would allow the glory of the Lord to fill the Tabernacle and shine round about—a design revealed in the gathering together of a body of people under the leadership of a Priesthood after the Order of Melchizedek. The whole reason for this movement was to draw together a unified Body of God again on Earth, a nucleus representation in mankind of right polarity in relationship to the Divine, so that this could eventually seed the experience for all those who let it be so wherever they are on the planet—the Garden of Eden restored.
Moses brought the Israelites from bondage in Egypt to the gates of freedom in the physical and spiritual Promised Land. These were times of horrendous cataclysmic interplay between the Earth and Venus—a comet returned and a planet reborn in our solar system. Throughout this period Moses led a rebellious and mutinous people, a mixed multitude. He said of them: “Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I first knew you.” Murmuring against Moses continuously, the people defied and rejected much of the opportunity he made available. Nonetheless, there were those who remained adequately true to the Divine plan as revealed through Moses; particularly his brother Aaron, the high priest, and Joshua, the warrior-servant. When Moses died it is said that: “…there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.” Moses lived to be 120 years old, and when he died: “his eye was not dim, nor his natural forces abated.” There is some indication that, like Enoch of old, Moses did not die but ascended.
After Moses left, a nucleus of the Divine pattern was carried forward, under the command of Joshua. “And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.” Throughout his life, Joshua had been close with Moses; he went part of the way up the mountain when Moses received the commandments of the Lord, and brought them to the people. After the departure of Moses, he was there to take over and provide leadership within this ongoing pattern of Divine lineage, Divine understanding, and Divine emergence.
This is the one Great Story—the story of a continuum of Divine provision that has been on the Earth from the Beginning, and since the time of the fall in Lemuria, all the way through to this present day.
Under Joshua’s leadership, the Thirteen tribes moved into the land across the river Jordan, and the Promised Land became the land of the Israelites. The cataclysmic interaction between Venus, Mars and Earth at the time of Moses continued in recurring cycles for several hundred years after Moses died. These cataclysmic interactions changed the shape of the Earth, changed its atmosphere, changed the axis of the planet, and changed its pattern of rotation. These changes in axis, polarity, and form have happened on a number of occasions in the history of the Earth since the fall of the consciousness of mankind and the sinking of Lemuria and Atlantis.
Joshua provided a very strong focus of leadership and authority, and when he died leadership was passed into the hands of what came to be called the Judges. This was a period of chaos under the government of a corrupt priesthood. Of this time it is written: “And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim: And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.” Here is an indication that the work of Moses and his close associates—a reminder of the consciousness of the Oneness in God, and the drawing together of a unified body of people revealing God in the flesh—was being rapidly dissipated under the administrations of a debased and corrupt leadership and priesthood.
Eventually there arose a mighty prophet named Samuel: “And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and he did let none of his words fall to the ground. And all Israel from Dan even unto Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.” He was highly respected and he ruled with a strong hand. At the wish of the people, who went against his own warning and admonition, Samuel anointed a king over Israel, whose name was Saul. Though Saul contributed and worked to help unify the Kingdom of Israel at that time, he completely failed to obey the Word of the Lord through Samuel, the prophet of the Lord. After a number of cycles of failure and rebellion by Saul, Samuel removed the mantle of king over Israel from Saul. In silence, and in secret from the eyes of Saul—indicating that the Lord looketh upon the heart and not upon the outward appearance—Samuel anointed one named David to be King of Israel. David had to bide his time before assuming his position, the time that it took to remove Saul from the throne. Saul was eventually killed in battle. David ascended the throne around 1,000 BC. He was a man after God's own heart, one who sang and danced before the Lord. He served for forty-seven years and united the Kingdom of Israel, bringing it to a place of wealth, power and opportunity, having dealt forthrightly with enemies round about.
Upon David's death, his son Solomon ascended the throne of a united Kingdom of Israel. Solomon, known for his understanding and wisdom, built the great temple in Jerusalem, patterned after the Tabernacle of Moses, and patterned after the Divine Design of the Body of Man, both individually and collectively. A representation of all the wealth and response of the known world came to Solomon at that time—one named Queen of Sheba, specifically, brought the negative response of the world, and that was received by Solomon, who represented the positive aspect of God on earth. Herein we see the opportunity for the material and the spiritual, the negative and the positive, to be reunited once again in this cycle. Here was the apex of the development of the First Sacred School.
We are told that Solomon “…had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines,” and that “his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David, his father.” Solomon went after the abomination, against which all the Prophets and Priests had warned. “And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD and went not fully after the LORD as did David his father.” Here is evidence that there was a return to the pattern of worship of the many gods and their images. Among the people who served those gods and images there were patterns of human sacrifice, of bestiality, of sexual deviance and corruption of the most vile nature. We don't know the details of how Solomon himself was functioning within all of this, but here is portrayed a representation of failure to keep polarity true in relationship to the Divine Design, true to the essential Oneness of God Being. So, at this time, there came the ultimate point of failure for the First Sacred School. The pattern that had been established through this great provision and this great lineage, over more than a thousand years, fell into disarray and decay.
Through warfare, within and without, there came a division of the Kingdom of Israel, and with it the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple of Solomon, and all that was therein represented. The Thirteen Tribes of the Israelite people were taken captive into Assyria and Babylon, and there was chaos and darkness across what was once the Promised Land. Leadership, from the divine standpoint, passed through a series of prophets, notably Elijah, Elisha, Amos, Jonah, Ezekiel, Isaiah; and perhaps the greatest one of all, Daniel—who became aware that it was going to be necessary to initiate a new cycle, and that the LORD of Lords Himself had chosen to incarnate, in order to refocalize the spirit of the First Sacred School, and initiate the opportunity of the Second Sacred School.
Of course, there is a Story to be told about other people in other lands, but the Overlighting Focus was being carried through this Hebrew lineage, from the time of Atlantis all the way through to the preparation that was being made, after the failure of the First Sacred School, for the coming of the Master Jesus and the initiation of the Second Sacred School—and the planting of the seed of a new opportunity.
Grace Van Duzen will share the next portion of the Story—essences of the life of Jesus, the LORD of Lords.
Six o' clock in the morning I feel pretty good So I dropped into the luxury of the Lords fighting dragons and crossing swords with the people against the hordes who came to conquer
Seven o'clock in the morning here it comes I taste the warning and I'm so amazed I'm here today seeing things so clear this way in the car and on my way to Stonehenge
I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
Sunlight pouring through the break of day stumbled through the door and into the chamber There's a lady setting flowers on a table covered lace and a cleaner in the distance finds a cobweb on a face and a feeling deep inside of me tells me this can't be the place
I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
All religion has to have its day expressions on the face of the Savior made me say I can't stay
Open up the gates of the church and let
me out of here
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ for anyone to heed the call So many people have died in the name of Christ that I can't believe it all
Now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799 and the day he died it was a birthday and I noticed it was mine and my head didn't know just who I was and I went spinning back in time
And I am high upon the altar High upon the altar, high
I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
It's hard enough to drink the wine The air inside just hangs in delusion but given time I'll be fine
Open up the gates of the church and let
me out of here
Too many people have lied in the name of
Christ for anyone to heed the call Too many people have died in the name of Christ that I can't believe it all
And now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799 and the day he died it was a birthday and I noticed it was mine and my head didn't know just who I was and I went spinning back in time
And I am high upon the altar High upon the altar, high
