THE SECRET OF LIGHT part: 9 - Sensing Binds All Things

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 patterened as separate idea.

Thought is patterened 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 positivenegative 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 patterned thought creations of God or man are the interweavings of the spectrum colors of the two electric opposites of light-waves into the patterned designs of those thoughts.

Creation might be likened to the tapestry weaver who KNOWS the one idea as a whole, then THINKS it into parts, then RECORDS those parts by interweaving their spectrum colors into the many form 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 incandescence.

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 element 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 that 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 sun-light 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, are 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 patterened ideas in noisy, violent motion. We know, however, that all of the motion of separate ideas, and all of the sounds emanating from those patterened, 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 patterened 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 naught 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 thy thinking. Be Me as deep well of thy knowing.”
