FIRST BOOK In this book which is for reading and study are the Foundational Religious Teachings of Life Eternal, by which We keep open the door to the Heavenly Mansion, showing what We really are as Sons in this Mansion and that We as Sons are identical in Life, even with the Life of Christ Jesus. — REBECKA C. BERG FOREWORD All revelations or interpretations of Life Eternal have come, are coming, and must come from the Life that is eternal in Heaven. Life eternal lives consciously, and enjoys Heaven in full on the incorporeal side. Life knows its own Life, and is conscious in its Consciousness, and enjoys Heaven. Life Eternal must reveal and explain the Truth about itself. So always, it will take Life Eternal to reveal and explain about Life Eternal, even to reveal and explain what it consists in, what it is or what is meant by Life Eternal including Consciousness and Heaven. So all revelation or interpretation about Life Eternal comes from the Within Life — yes, from the Knowing Life that is eternal, and alone has power to reveal itself as it is from the divine or heavenly side out to mankind in space. Life Eternal is entirely incorporeal and incorporeally sided, and here it has its own immortal mode of interpreting, explaining and revealing itself from the incorporeal side through the word. So the word is the most useful medium yet invented for the purpose of revelation. The Life that is divine and eternal is so infinitely beautiful and great that it cannot be fully explained or revealed through the word, for words are form, and as such are limited to form. The word, however, is used as a channel for explanation and revelation, and through this channel Life eternal in Heaven from Heaven sends messages of enlightenment, encouragement and comfort directly to the people in space. Thus Life Eternal, like a shepherd, feeds the flock and comforts the people. It is Life Eternal of the Qualified Man which concerns us most. Life Eternal of each man is so infinitely divine and beautiful that it cannot be fully explained through words. Yet, foreknowing the possibilities of explaining and revealing Life Eternal from the heavenly side out to the people in space, the Author, having a fixed devotion for the art of revelation, straight from the I Am viewpoint of divine success, is looking forward toward perfect and complete success, even unto having completed all successes successfully. From here, therefore, the Author expects to bring home to Readers the revelation of the Truth that each Life is divine and eternal now, lives a conscious Life now, and enjoys Heaven now. It shall also be revealed that We are the Qualified Life of the Trinity Man; and that We have the same kind of life that the Life of Christ Jesus had when it was a Qualified Life of the Trinity Man. Also, that We are conscious in the same Consciousness in which the Life of Christ Jesus was conscious; and that We All enjoy the same Heaven that the Life of Christ Jesus enjoyed when it was a Qualified Life of the Trinity Man. Thus, the Life of Christ Jesus was not the only Son in Heaven, for WE ALL AS THE QUALIFIED LIFE OF MAN ARE SONS IN HEAVEN! The “Divine We” when it concerns us as Sons in Heaven includes Life Divine of me, and Life Divine of every human man. I have only one Life, and I live this Life in the Manfold, in Heaven. The Life I have I know is divine and eternal; and because I know this, I also know that all Life is divine and eternal. Moreover, it is also because I know that each Life Eternal consists in the same Life-containing Qualities that I am able to reveal from the heavenly side the Eternal Truth to the people in space. Life was given for I am, to be lived for the incorporeal purpose of revealing Life Eternal, from the heavenly side, out to the people in space. And I, as a Son in Heaven, am now ready to reveal Life Eternal of all. The All Life ever includes us as Sons. I have had knowledge in Life ever since the Life was given for I am; so knowledge is not acquired. It is this knowledge in the Life that makes a great demand upon I am to reveal the Truth about Life Eternal along all lines, to the best of the ability. So, although I am conscious that the knowledge in Life is infinitely greater than is the ability to explain it, yet I shall explain Known Truth to the best of the ability, using this channel afforded by language. The Heavenly Father knows I Am and knows that I can write words which will best explain the Truth as it is in Life Eternal. So, every word I write, I shall write for the incorporeal purpose of telling the Truth about Life Eternal. Now, the Heavenly Father has given I Am the order that I should work divinely for the incorporeal purpose of revealing the Truth about Life Eternal, from the heavenly side, through this divine method of writing words to the people in space. This I have cherished as a divine and glorious order, for it is coupled with a sacred opportunity to do so in strict obedience to the Father’s Will. So, it is the duty of the I am to act in obedience to the Father’s Will, and to do so is also a priceless privilege immensely worth while. Though this requires much work for the Author, this work is a beautiful and a blissful one, for it brings its own great reward. I consider no work too great which is given I am for the purpose of revealing the Truth of Being, but will accept it joyfully and pursue it patiently. Life because of its incorporeal sidedness can be revealed only from this incorporeal side. When I now start the revelation about Life from this side where Life is, and reveal what I know it is in its divinity and perfection, I shall be zealously careful to adhere to the Truth of the Divine Being, continuously. So this new revelation or explanation of Life Eternal and its Work will thus be trustworthy and also comprehensible. So, what I reveal comes forth fresh from Life Eternal, and is exactly in accordance with the Truth of Being. Thus what has hitherto been unrevealed about Life Eternal shall be revealed. And the revelation shall be found as an open book. —REBECKA C. BERG
CHAPTER I THE ONE WHOLE LIFE ETERNAL It shall now be revealed from the heavenly side of Life that Life is in one whole eternally, therefore here is, and can be, but One Life Eternal on the heavenly side, and in the one life thus the All in All Life is known to live eternally. The One Life Eternal in its complete and perfect whole from eternity consists in Life-containing Qualities which are equally life-containing; or are identically the same in life-content. Thus, it is possible to explain the One Life Eternal by Life-containing Qualities, and by taking all Life-containing Qualities into consideration and explaining them together as Life, yes, as the One Life Eternal, the Author of this book will be able to reveal exactly what the One Life Eternal is or what it is composed of. For explanatory reasons, the Qualities must have names; and they must have different names. However, names, when they concern Life-containing Qualities, are but titles used for their identification, and through which information about Life Eternal may be given for the benefit and comfort of the people. The distinction between Life-containing Qualities is found to be in one’s explanation of them; yet it is true that the explanation about one Quality is ever applicable to all Qualities. The names of the Life-containing Qualities which are the ingredients in Life Eternal may be alphabetically arranged as follows: Beauty, Good, Honesty, Intelligence, Knowledge, Law, Light, Love, Mind, Power, Purity, Right, Soul, Truth, Will and Wisdom. All are in equal and precise quantities perfectly united and it is in this unity or oneness of the Qualities that Life Eternal as a Whole is complete and perfect. From this it is revealed that the One Life Eternal has within but One Beauty, One Good, One Honesty, One Intelligence, One Knowledge, One Law, One Light, One Love, One Mind, One Power, One Purity, One Righteousness, One Soul, One Truth, One Will, and One Wisdom.
A QUALITY IS WHOLE ETERNALLY Every Life-containing Quality is whole. And what is really meant by a Whole Quality is this, that the Quality ever retains all the Life-content that belongs to it as a Life-ingredient, so that the Life-content that really is the Whole Quality remains precisely the same in value within the One Life Eternal; and the Quality is changeless, undivided and indivisible eternally.
A WHOLE QUALITY IS ALSO A PRECISE QUALITY It must be remembered that the equality and precision of the Qualities in the One Life are as eternal as is the Life itself. Thus, in the One Life Eternal, Beauty is precise; Good is precise; Honesty is precise; Intelligence is precise; Knowledge is precise; Law is precise; Light is precise; Love is precise; Mind is precise; Power is precise; Purity is precise; Righteousness is precise; Soul is precise; Truth is precise; Will is precise, and Wisdom is precise. Thus, whole qualities in Life are also precise; and each Quality, as a Life-containing Ingredient, contains an equal quantity of life-containing substance or essence; and in order to have all life-substance or essence which belongs to Life, in Life, all Life-containing Qualities containing this life-substance or essence are and must be in life eternally. So because the Qualities are in Life-content identically the same, or are both qualitatively and quantitatively the same, it is true also, that all Life-containing Qualities are equally valuable in the One Life Eternal, which they together equally constitute.
THE LIFE CONTAINING QUALITIES ARE PERFECTLY UNITED The Life-containing Qualities as ingredients in the One Life Eternal are in their wholeness and precision perfectly united, so that it is in the “at-one-ment” or in the association of them that the One Life Eternal is what it is eternally. How true it is then that the Life-containing Qualities can all be summed up and known by the term the One Life Eternal.
THE
ONE LIFE ETERNAL IS INCLUSIVE OF ALL LIFE-CONTAINING QUALITIES, The One Life Eternal includes within itself all Life-containing Qualities, and is thus all that the Life-containing Qualities include. This means that all Life-containing Qualities are within the One Life Eternal, so that only in the One Life are all Life-containing Qualities known to be. But it is because of the precision equality, unity or oneness of them, that they are the entire Life-substance or Essence known as the One Whole Life Eternal.
IN THE ONE LIFE ETERNAL ALL LIFE-CONTAINING QUALITIES ARE KNOWN TO BE ETERNALLY Now it is explained that all Life-containing Qualities which compose the One Life Eternal are in the Whole Life, eternally. Also, the One Life Eternal possesses its own power to retain for itself its own Qualities of Life, and so is absolutely filled with Living Qualities, and not a fragment can ever be added to or taken from Life. Nothing can be sacrificed, for the One Life Eternal is Whole — eternally. Thus this Whole Life Eternal is the “All In All Life.” So only in the Whole Life is the “All In All Life” known to be eternally. When We use the term “All In All Life” We mean the One Life Eternal (besides which there is no other Life). And again, when We use the term “All Good,” We refer to the One Life Eternal, for only in the Whole Life is ALL GOOD known to be eternally. The saying “There is none good but one” refers to the One Life Eternal on the incorporeal side, for Quality Good is in the One Life. How true it is that the Whole of Life Eternal includes All-beauty, All-good, All-honesty, All-intelligence, All-knowledge, All-law, All-light, All-love, All-mind, All-power, All-purity, All-righteousness, All-love, All-truth, All-will, and All- wisdom. When We say that the one Life Eternal consists in a combination of Life-containing Qualities, We then mean to explain the Life-containing Qualities together as the “All In All Life,” inclusive of All Life Eternal.
THE ONE LIFE ETERNAL IS KNOWABLE AND EXPLAINABLE THROUGH LIFE-CONTAINING QUALITIES It is now revealed that the One Life Eternal contains many Life-containing Qualities, and that it is divinely possible to know and explain the One Life, through the Life-containing Qualities.
THE ONE LIFE ETERNAL IS WHOLE ETERNALLY The One Life Eternal lived eternally as a Whole Life and as It is living now is the same Whole Life. So here is just one absolutely Whole Life on the incorporeal side. A Life, to be in One Whole eternally, means that precisely as It is, It was, and will be eternally. Thus, Life Eternal as a whole will remain whole eternally. Therefore, because the entire Life Eternal is in one whole now, it will be exactly what it is now, “The One Whole Life Eternal” on the incorporeal side. To be “One Whole Life” then, does mean that as the Whole of Life Eternal lives on the incorporeal side it continues to live identically the same eternally. Thus, the One Life Eternal is wholly eternal, wholly divine, wholly real, wholly complete and perfect, and wholly unchangeable and indivisible. It is also wholly incorporeal and incorporeally-sided. Therefore, these preceding terms must apply exclusively to Life Eternal, and the meaning of each term is known in Life Eternal, on the incorporeal side. The term “incorporeal” has divine meaning in Life Eternal, and only Life Eternal knows divine meanings about its own Life. The term “incorporeal,” however, has several synonyms, namely : infinite, limitless, boundless, measureless, and others not here mentioned. Although all of these synonymous terms refer entirely to the incorporeality of Life Eternal, none of them equals the precision of meaning that is expressed by the term “incorporeal,” for by the term “incorporeal” it is revealed that the entire Whole Life Eternal is wholly incorporeal, and because it is wholly incorporeal, it is also wholly incorporeally-sided.
CONSCIOUSNESS IS ETERNAL REALITY It is absolutely true in Life that Life alone is and can be conscious, and Life is conscious of its own Life Eternal and of its own Kingdom of Heaven. Here is only one Whole Life on the incorporeal side. This life has, and can have, but one whole Consciousness, and only the Consciousness that the Whole Life Eternal has is Consciousness, and this Consciousness is whole, eternally. The Whole Life Eternal will continue its Consciousness a Whole Consciousness, which means that the One Consciousness as it is eternal is also divinely real; and is like Life in this, that it continues identically the same eternally. So Consciousness is changeless, undivided and indivisible eternally and heavenly or incorporeally-sided eternally. The Whole Life Eternal is One; Consciousness of this Whole Life is One, and the One Life and its Consciousness belong together and cannot be divided. So the absolute Divinity and Supremacy of the One Life Eternal is here revealed.
CHAPTER II THE
ONE LIFE COMPOSED OF DIVINE AND ETERNAL QUALITIES IS A LIFE FOR EVERY
ONE In the one Life Eternal (which ever is, and ever was, the Life of the living) are all Life-containing Qualities. How true it is then that in perfect unity and oneness of Life-containing Qualities the Whole of Life Eternal is. Even as it is a Life for every one. So how wondrously divine, eternal, complete, perfect, changeless and indivisible the One Life is! As it lives in All Life, through All Life, and is the Life for All! Yet, the whole of Life ever is one. So the One Life Eternal, as it consists in Life-containing Qualities, is the absolute Life-source of Being, beyond which there is no other life, and no other life-source of being.
THE ONE LIFE ETERNAL IS IN THREE EQUAL FOLDS AND IS A THREEFOLD LIFE From what has been explained in the preceding chapter, it is plain that here is but One Life Eternal, on the incorporeal side. In this chapter it shall be revealed that the One Life Eternal is from eternity a Threefold Life, so “Threefold Life” refers to the One Life Eternal. Here on the heavenly side, where I know Life’s Wholeness in precise degree to the power of knowing, I know that the One Life Eternal is in one quantity, and here I divinely explain the One Life as a Threefold Life, by saying that in the One Life, or in the One Quantity of Life, the Life of God, and the Life of the Universe, and the Life of Man live in perfect unity and oneness as a Threefold Life. Therefore, from eternity the One Life Eternal is a Threefold Life! And it will continue as a Threefold Life, eternally. So, whether we say the One Life Eternal or the Threefold Life, it still refers to the One Life Eternal on the incorporeal side. Now that the One Life Eternal is precisely Threefold, all three folds equal, it is and could not he otherwise, but be the Life of Three Divine Beings in exactly the same degree or equally. The One Life Eternal is in and is the Life of the Three Divine Beings equally. Or we may say that the One Life Eternal is in Three Equal Folds, for the term “Folds” has given the Author an opportunity to explain how the One Life Eternal, which from eternity is a Perfect Whole, yet is the life of three, in such divine order that the one Life remains Whole and is exactly the same (and is not divided into Three) for One Is Three and Three Are One.
HOW
THE ONE LIFE ETERNAL IS BOTH ONE AND THREE: GOD The One Life Eternal is the Life called God, in such divine order that the Life of God may be likened unto a fold in the One Life. When we liken the Life of God to a fold in the One Life, it is that the Life of God is the same Life as is the One Life, and is ever infolded within the One Life. It cannot, therefore, be separated or divided from the One Life in which it is a fold. The Life called God may now be likened unto a fold in the One Life Eternal; and likened unto a fold, thus, is one of the three equal folds in Life Eternal. The Life in God’s Fold is identical with the Life in the Fold of the Universe, and also is identical with the Life in the Fold of Man. From this it is revealed that the Life of the Three-in-one is identically the same. So it is well to remember that when we liken the Life of God unto a fold in the One Life Eternal, we must also liken both the Life of the Universe and the Life of Man to a fold in the One Life. For from this it is, that we are able to explain the One Life Eternal as precisely threefold. The Life called God as known by itself cannot alone be in the Whole Life Eternal and be the Whole Life Eternal. So neither God nor any Living Being by itself is or could be the Whole Life Eternal, or be known as the Whole Life Eternal. The Life of God is a Trinity Life in the One Life Eternal, and the Trinity Life of God is all this that it is, for what it is, it both was and shall be eternally. This explanation of the Life of God is applicable both to the Life of the Universe and to the Life of Man. For the Life of the Three Divine Beings is both qualitatively and quantitatively the same, and that Equality. Unity and Oneness are the Holy Trinity for the Divine Three.
— HOLY TRINITY — EQUALITY,
PERFECT UNITY AND ETERNAL ONENESS OF LIFE AMONG THE DIVINE THREE When we use the name “Holy Trinity” we thus refer directly to the Living Life as the Three-in-One, beyond which there is no other life and no other “Holy Trinity.” So here is but One Trinity God, One Trinity Universe, and One Trinity Man in Life Eternal, and these Three are One. Holy Trinity refers to the Divine Unity and Oneness of Life among Three Divine Beings which are and eternally will be in the One Life Eternal in Heaven. Thus it is that the unity of Three Divine Beings in One is, and must be known as “The Holy Trinity,” which explains in a measure Life’s Divine Peace, Bliss and Glory, because of Divine Equality, Oneness and Unity.
CHAPTER III EXPLANATION ABOUT THE WORK OF THE THREEFOLD LIFE The Divine Three in the One Life Eternal are wholly incorporeal Beings, and They have incorporeal purposes of Their own, purposing to reveal Life incorporeal, which consists in Qualities from the incorporeal side out to space, by giving expressions or revelations of these Qualities, through a created form universe and a created form man. The Divine Three had divinely agreed that They should create a form man in space — yes, many millions of them, and therefore are ever conscious that Their power is not only in Their ability to create all these man forms, but also in Their ability to maintain them in all parts in the original forms. Thus it is that each created form man, from the very first of creation onward, had to he maintained in connection distinctly separate and independent from the others by Life, so that the originality of each should be preserved constantly. It was a divine order of the Divine Three, agreed upon by them, that the Trinity Man should be given the responsibility for the maintenance of every created form man, as created in space. Giving the Life of Man the opportunity to maintain every created form man in space, the Trinity Man to maintain every created form man, in space, in any other way than by precisely powerful Life, is not possible. How absolutely true it is then that the Life called Trinity Man exclusively possesses the power to qualify for itself acting causes real and true, which would act and be assigned the important duties of maintaining created man forms in space. The divine Three knew equally well that every created form man required constant attention, and that it is for the order of Life to maintain constant connection with them. Moreover, they knew equally well the possibilities of being successful in maintaining every created form man by precisely Qualified Life, and agreed that here would be a Life qualified to each form man which would act as the cause for the maintenance, and that the Life acting as cause thus should be given the entire responsibility for the maintenance of the connection with the created form n man. Even each Qualified Life which was to serve thus as an Acting Cause should first be precisely qualified in the Life of Man. And every one thus qualified should retain for itself the given Life, entirely changeless, while acting as cause. This shows how it was intended from the start by The Divine Three that every Qualified Man should be precisely qualified for the purpose of acting as cause; even to be given the entire responsibility for the maintenance of the connection with the created form man in space. Indeed this is a most favorable arrangement, when we know in terms of the then oncoming creation, that in order to have the foreseen creation successfully maintained and preserved in space, each form had to be maintained distinctly separate from the others by precisely powerful Life.
THE TRINITY LIFE OF MAN The Life of man is one of the Three Divine Beings in the Holy Trinity. So by the Trinity Life of man is meant the Whole Life Eternal of man as one man in the One Life Eternal. And how true it is that the Whole Life of man as one man could not function and maintain every created form man in space, for each form man had to be maintained in space distinctly separate from the others by a precisely Qualified Life. This is prior to the Great Qualification when the Life we call Trinity Man had assumed the responsibility of the maintenance of every created form man in space, and had exclusive power to will, and to arrange a portion in its Whole Life into other little portions, to function through Portion Life in its Whole Life, and to maintain every created form man in space. The Trinity Life of Man is composed of Life-con-taming Qualities which are: Beauty, Good, Honesty, Intelligence, Knowledge, Law, Light, Love, Mind Power, Purity, Righteousness, Soul, Truth, Will and Wisdom.
CHAPTER IV EXPLANATION ABOUT THE GIVING OF LIFE FOR QUALIFIED LIFE OF MAN The I am Life was given by Thee, 0 Father ! So I am living in Thee. Therefore, All words of explanation in this chapter, let them be about the Life of Thee and the Life of me. These words, “the I am Life,” as here used by the Author in the lines just preceding, concern Life itself of the Qualified Man and therefore are divinely applicable to every Qualified Man. So the content of the following explanation in this chapter as well as the explanation about the Qualified Life throughout the entire book can be read by each One of us and can be divinely applied to every One of us, as well as it can be read by All of us, and can be divinely applied to All of us. The Qualified Life of Man was given one by one or one after another until all were given a Life in the Life of Man. The Trinity Man in the divine act of giving Life is consciously holding to the precisely known portion or quality of Life that a Qualified Life is required to have in order to be qualified for cause work; so in giving, is fully conscious of the giving, and gave Life for each Son. These Life-containing Qualities, namely, Beauty, Good, Honesty, Intelligence, Knowledge, Law, Light, Love, Mind, Power, Purity, Righteousness, Soul, Truth, Will and Wisdom, are in equal and precise quantities, perfectly united, and thus compose each one’s Life when it is given. Taking the Qualities alphabetically from Quality Beauty to Quality Wisdom, they all are, and ever since the giving of the Life were the ingredients in the Life. The Qualities are equally life-containing, and so each quality contributes evenly to the Life of the human man. Moreover, each Quality as an ingredient in the Life retains all the Life-content that belongs to it, just as Quality Honest, as an ingredient in the Life, retains all the Honesty it has in the Life, so that no other quality in the Life is, or could be, Quality Honesty. And Quality Purity, as a divine ingredient in the Life of man, retains all purity in the Life, and no other quality is, or could possibly be, Quality Purity in the Life of a man. Each Life-containing Quality which belongs to the Life and is in it as an ingredient, retains what belongs to it. So this explanation applies to all Life-containing qualities in the Life of man. The I Am, or the Life (of the human man) consists in an equal and precise quantity of quality from each Quality which is in reality life-containing and thus belongs to the Life as its Life-containing ingredients; but it is in the perfect unity and oneness of them that the Life is what it is. So how wondrously important is the perfect unity and oneness of the Life-containing Qualities, for in this perfect unity and oneness no one Quality can be dissociated from another. Therefore I cannot take one Quality by itself, independently, and say it is all there is to the Life of man, for no quality by itself could possibly be Life itself, or could be known as Life, or be given as Life. Thus, with this Truth revealed, it can be understood how no Quality by itself could alone be Life itself, and although it is sometimes said that Love alone is Life, yet Love alone, as taken by itself, is quite unable to be Life Itself. Love cannot be Life Itself, for it can accomplish nothing without all Qualities which are also in Life and are identical in life-content and in perfection with Love. All Qualities perfectly united are the Life. The Life-containing Qualities in oneness do all the work that is accomplished by the Life.
QUALITIES DIVINELY IDENTIFY THE SON OF MAN AS MORTAL BEING We rejoice in knowing that the Qualities which arc in one’s Life continually compose one’s Life. And in ascribing all Qualities of Life to Life, how wonderfully divine one’s Life is, and how complete and perfect It is. A precise quantity or portion of Life in the Whole Life of Man was given for the Life of each Son; and therefore, what the Life of the Giver is, the given Life is also. But the Life of the Giver is infinitely greater, for the given Life is but a little Life in the indivisible Whole Life Eternal of Man. So the given Life is composed of a little bit of quality of each Life-containing Quality, and in the perfect unity of these little bits of the Qualities is Life complete and perfect for the Son. Even the little bits of the Life-containing Qualities as they are in the Life of each Son are in precise amounts, and amounts which are identical in divine value and importance, and in perfect unity and oneness compose the Life of the human man.
THE LIFE OF MAN IS DIVINE AND ETERNAL The Life of me and the Life of every me is given in the Life of the Trinity Man, and when the Father gave the Life for each one, the Life as given was both Divine and Eternal and it could not be otherwise, because as the Life of the Giver is Divine and Eternal, the Given Life is also Divine and Eternal. Thus every Living Man lives now the Life that is Divine and Eternal, and We are only the Life that We are living where We are living. We are the Qualified or Given Life of Man, and all the while We are, the Life is both divine and eternal. But, We will only be the Qualified or Given Life while We are Acting Causes for the Trinity Man; and when any one of us is entirely finished with the work of acting as Cause, that one will merge. Therefore, We the Qualified or Given Life of Man will not be eternally, yet while We are, the Life of each one of us is divine, eternal, incorporeal and incorporeally-sided. I will say concerning Life Eternal of me, that it is because I live the Life that is divine and eternal, in oneness with the Divine Father Trinity Man, that I know how the Life of the Trinity Man is also the Life of me exactly. And what I know about Life Eternal as it is the Divine Life of myself, I know also about Life Divine of every human man. So I know divinely that the Life as Qualified is a Life that is exactly like the Life of me. And every man that lives, lives now the Life that is divine and eternal. Life Eternal of Man is so divinely beautiful that it cannot be fully described or explained through words. But again, in order that some little part of what is known of Life Eternal of Man may be revealed from the divine side, the Author, knowing the Life as it also is Divine, is sure of what it is even before the earnest pursuit of giving book information of what it is had started. In appreciation of what has already been revealed concerning Life Eternal on the pages of this book, we arc sure that Life is explainable; but, also aware that it takes Life itself to know and to explain about itself, what it is and what it does, even through mere words.
THE TRUTH OF THE DIVINE BEING When I say I know the truth about Life Divine, Its Unity, Its Consciousness, Its Heaven, and Its Divinity, then I really say I know it. And because the Life of me is divine and eternal, and because I now live the Life that is divine and eternal within the Life of Man, it is that the Life of me ever knows the truth about Life Divine, and thus is enabled to give this new revelation of the Truth of Being. This is the Truth of Divine Being, that the Qualified Life of Man is divine and eternal now, and is living safely in the Trinity Manfold now, so that the Fold of the Trinity Man is only perfect and complete with all Qualified Life in it as One! Also We are conscious of Life in the one Consciousness in oneness with Our Father and Heaven We enjoy in the one Heaven in oneness with Our Father. But the Father’s Consciousness of Life and of the Joys and Glories of Life is infinitely greater than ours. I am glad to give this explanation of what I know about Life Divine, as it also is eternal and incorporeally-sided; and I must reveal that We, The Qualified Life of the Trinity Man, are identically the same in Life and in Consciousness and in Heaven. Also We are identically the same in divinity as was the Life of Christ Jesus when it was a Qualified or Given Life of Man. How beautiful it is, and what Divine Joy and Bliss or Heaven it is, for I Am to know and be conscious that every man’s Life is both divine and eternal and lives now in the Life that is divine and eternal in Heaven.
CHAPTER V THE MANFOLD IS OUR HEAVENLY MANSION The Manfold may he called the Father’s house of many mansions! And how infinitely loving is the Father in this mansion, for it gave of its Living Life the Life of Sons. And from the giving of Life follow Divine Fatherhood, and Divine Sonship, and Divine Brotherhood. Therefore, We the Divine Sons are Brothers Divinely ! And as Brothers We live in the Manfold of manyfolds, or of many mansions, and We never leave this mansion wherein the Life of each one of us is a Living Part necessary to the completeness and perfectness of the entire mansion. The Truth that each Given Life is Living Part in the Whole Life of Man The Giver, explains that one cannot take the Life one has out of the Trinity Man Life, but one lives in the Trinity Manfold, and will never leave this Fold, neither can any one of us be exiled from this Fold iii which one’s Life is living part or belonging; so the Life of our Father is only complete and perfect with the Life of every one of us in it. We continue to live thus just where We are, and every one of us is known and accounted for by the Father as ever at home in the Father’s Fold, which accordingly is now, as heretofore it was and henceforth shall be complete with the Life of every one of us divinely in folded. We as Sons are equally loved by the Father, and no son is preferred above another. And We the Sons appreciate the Love of the Father for us and We know that this Love compares with the Love We have for our Father.
THE I AM IS WHAT IT IS AS A DIVINE SON In the heavenly mansion it is, and it was, in accordance with the Law of Life that We the Sons should have Life equally, be identical in Life, and be identical in consciousness, and also be identical in Heaven. It is from this, therefore, that We are equally conscious and equally enjoy Heaven. Moreover, We are equally powerful, equally perfect, equally divine equally omnipresent, equally omniscient, equally omnipotent, and equally conscious of our divine sonship with our Father and of our at-one-ment with our Father. Life is the within of man. What joy therefore, and how comforting it is to know that every Man has identical Life within, and that it is Life Divine of each Man, on the heavenly side, which is termed the “within” or inside Life, so that the within or inner side is the heavenly side wherein all Life has eternal home. Life Divine is the within of me, and I know it perfectly as it is, thus within, the within is the Manfold, on the heavenly side. Because I thus know the Life I have, I also know the Life of the Christ, and I know the Life of every Qualified Man, just as I know my Life. Also, I know the Life of the Father precisely in the degree to the amount of Life I have. Also I know the Life of the Universe and its Qualified Life precisely in the same degree to the amount of Life I have. Likewise, I know the Life of God precisely in the degree to the amount or to the power of the Life I have. The Life of God is infinitely Great! But because every Life Eternal is composed of the same Divine and Eternal Qualities, it is that We the Qualified Life of Man know God perfectly, yet this perfect knowledge that We all have of God is precisely in comparison to the knowledge We each have in Life. We all are conscious that We are equally qualified and that We have Knowledge in Life equally and that We know (equally well) the Life of God. This will help to explain to all readers that it is the Qualities in the Life of man which have power to know God; and with Qualities within Life equally, it is that We have equal power to know God. But as We have already explained, the Whole Life Eternal of God is infinitely Great. The Life of each one of us as a Qualified Life of Man is but a portion of Life. It is for this reason that all We can ever know about the Life of God is but as a portion of what the Life of God really is. Yet it is ever true, We all know, We have the same God as had the Life of Christ Jesus; and We also know that We are loved by God and also loved by all Life in Heaven, precisely as the Life of Christ was loved by All Life in Heaven. The Life of Christ Jesus finished its work and merged. But still in the Trinity Manfold We the Sons are, and We all as Sons continue to know the Life of Christ, for when it comes to us as Sons of man, We are in Qualities exactly like the Life of Christ Jesus when it was an incorporeal Son. So We have the same Heavenly Father that the Life of Christ had when it was incorporeal Son. We live the Life that is like the Life of Christ, within the Life of the Father. Thus We know equally well the Truth about our Heavenly Father. So, in the Manfold, which is the fold in which We as Sons live, actually We cannot but know one another; and know as well as the Life of Christ knew, the Truth of each Living Being. Our Father’s Life is such a Life Divine as this, that within it, We the Divine Sons live and have our being. Although We Sons are many, yet We ever live in the Father’s Fold, and here is but one Father of us all! And no one hath known the Father, as well as We the Sons know, and no one can be in the Father’s Fold with the Father except Us the Sons. So here is in the Whole Heaven no other Father besides the Holy Trinity Man, and here are no Sons in Heaven, but We the Divine Sons of the Trinity Man. And 0, how divine! Our Heavenly Father is Life, and indeed gave Life for Sons. And it is by means of our Father in Heaven that We have Life, and all that We have in Life We have received from Thee, Holy Father! Therefore, We thank Thee, Father, for Life and for Consciousness and for Heaven. I mean to show by this explanation that no Living Man is or could be outside of the Trinity Manfold; therefore, no Living Man is, or could be, outside of Heaven. But true it is, that the Trinity Manfold is Our Eternal Home; and We live in this Home now, and are equally loved and have Heaven equally. Thus the term “many mansions,” to which the Life of Christ referred, is but another term for the many folds in which the Father Trinity Man with Sons live and have being.
WITHIN THE FATHER’S LIFE
THE LIFE OF MAN IS NOW A ONEFOLD LIFE It is absolutely true in Life Eternal that the Life of Man lives and has being in the Life of each Qualified or Given Life. So We the Qualified Life within the Life of Man are so many Divine Beings, yet We arc One Being. In order to reveal the Truth as clearly as possible, I will proceed further to explain ho? it is that many beings can be but One Being, by explaining how many folds can be but one fold. If we liken the Whole Life of Man to a large fold, and if we liken the Life of each Qualified Man to a small fold, We see that we have one large fold and in a portion of this large fold we also have millions of small folds. For we have one small fold in the large fold, to each Qualified Life of Man, and with Life equally it is also, that every fold is equally full. We see now, ho? all the small folds are made in a portion of the material of the large fold and are together as one in such order that every small fold is a part of the large fold and therefore cannot he divided or removed from the large fold, but that the large fold and the small folds are one Fold. So the Trinity Life of man includes All Qualified or Given Life of man. And the Whole Life Eternal of Man is yet a One-Fold-Life. By this explanation is meant to reveal as clearly as possible how the Life of every Man has lived from eternity within this Living Being that We now call Trinity Man, in such divine order that it was One Being or a Onefold Life. But since the giving of Life to us, if We now liken the Life of each one of us to a Fold we say that the Life of Man continues through all Folds and is in all Folds, in such divine order that it is Life itself of every Fold. If we were able to count every Fold which is in the One Manfold, we would find that here are many millions of them, and that each Fold is the Life, the Qualified. Thus in the Trinity Manfold here arc innumerable small Folds, and every Fold is absolutely the same in contents, or in Life-Substance; therefore identical, yet the Life of the Father as here likened to a Large Fold knows the Folds from one another, or knows the Sons from one another. So the Life of Man, with all its qualified Life, is still the Whole Life of Man, which cannot be divided into many.
THE PARABLE OF THE SEAMLESS DRESS EXPLAINS THE UNITY AND ONENESS IN THE LIFE OF THE TRINITY MAN While we are appreciating the value of a Whole and of Eternal Oneness, we may have another explanation of the seamless dress. We have, first of all, a dress which is made of material that is in one piece; the material in the dress is woven together in such a way that it is all in one piece. But in order that this dress may be seamless throughout, all the goods belonging to it must be in it always. Now if we take this seamless dress and make folds in a part of it, many millions of them, we see that the material of which the folds are made is still in the dress; hence, the folds are Parts of the one-piece dress, or of the seamless dress, and when we have made all the folds that should be in the dress, it shows clearly that a part of the dress is made into many folds. Here it is well to be reminded that not one fold which has been made in the material of the dress could be removed or taken out of a one-piece or of a seamless dress, for then it could no longer be a seamless or one-piece dress. A fold, as a fold, made in the goods of the dress, is made to satisfy a special purpose, and when that purpose shall have been fulfilled each and every one of the folds can and will again be let loose into the main part of the dress, and the dress will still be in one piece or “seamless.” The material of which the folds were made remains unchanged throughout; so that when the folds have been let loose into the main part, behold! it is yet a one-piece dress, seamless and unchanged throughout. The preceding words explain the Wholeness, perfect unity or undividedness in the Life of Man. For the Life of Man is likened unto a whole dress without scam and wrinkle, and We the Qualified or Given Life are likened unto folds in the dress — folds which are equally full, or are of the same degree of depth.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A LIVING MAN TO BE OUTSIDE TIIE MANFOLD The one Life of Man is in the Life of every man. And we know this Truth of the Divine Being that We have Life with knowledge in it, so we know perfectly all there is to be known about Life Eternal of each one of us, and We know that We are ever loved by all life in Heaven. But nothing can equal the joy of knowing this Truth of the Divine Being, that one cannot take one’s Life Divine that one has in oneness with the Father out of the Father’s Fold, because the Life is living part in the Life of the Father as Giver. The Life of the Father is complete and perfect with all Given Life enfolded. We as .Sons know that We do not wish to take the Life We have in oneness with the Father out of the heavenly home wherein it is beautiful enough, good enough, honest enough, intelligent enough, knows enough, is lawful enough, has light enough, is loving enough, mindful enough, powerful enough, pure enough, righteous enough, soulful enough, truthful enough, has will enough, and is wise enough for the Heavenly Father that gave the Life. Moreover, every One knows that One cannot give the Life that one has in oneness with the Father to another or for another, for the Life is in the Life of the Father and belongs to this Life eternally as its Eternal Life possession, and whatsoever the Life of the Father possesses shall belong to it eternally, and not a minutest fragment is, or ever could he, added to it or withdrawn or sacrificed. We, the Living Sons of a Heavenly Father, know that We cannot take the Consciousness We have with Life away from Life, for the Life possesses the Consciousness. So Consciousness cannot be separated from Life. And as much as We have both Life and Consciousness in oneness with our Heavenly Father, it is that Consciousness like Life is entirely heavenly and heavenly-sided. Indeed the Happiness, Harmony, Joy, Peace, Bliss and Glory We enjoy with Life and Consciousness We also have in oneness with our Heavenly Father and therefore, cannot be given or taken out of Heaven for it all is in reality, what composes Heaven for Us, and this Heaven is, and eternally will be, entirely incorporeal and incorporeally-sided. We thank Thee, O Father, that in Life We are Thine; and Thou art ever with Us and all that We have is Thine; for Life We have in Thee, and Consciousness and Heaven We have in oneness with Thee.
IMMORTALITY IS FOR EVERY ONE
CHAPTER VI THE FATHER’S BUSINESS Life was given for Sons before the creation was. Thus, both Father and Son were before the creation was. It is really true that Life itself is and must be the worker, for if here is a work to be done, here must, in reality, be a Life present to do that work. Thus, work of every description is done, and can be done, only by the Life that possesses all Qualities and knows just what its work of art consists of. Life was given equally to each Son and surely, work was given over to us equally too; that is divinely true. Thus, every man has a work to do of similar importance; but however similar in importance is the work, only the worth or value of the work is recorded in Heaven to one’s account. We, the Living Sons of man, live and work in the Trinity Manfold; and here We are ever about our Father’s business. Some of the most important business that every one of us has to do for the Father is to maintain the created form man in space, in such well regulated order that all Qualities in one’s Life Divine shall be revealed from Heaven out to space. This is the Will of the Father; and the Will of the Father is and must be done by us as Sons. The Father’s business is a sacred trust of which each Son alike has been divinely given charge by the Father, to do an equal share. To conduct the Father’s business divinely and perfectly, We have right to do, and We will do, for the Father. We are equal partners in the Father’s business, and every one of us is a worker, and has a certain work to do; yes, a work that cannot be performed by another or accomplished by another. So only the work which one is supposed to do for the Father is of one’s concern. The only business we have the right to do for our Heavenly Father is Honest Business. And in Heaven We do all our work concerning the Father’s business precisely in harmony with what the Qualities in one’s Life require. We the Living Sons have all Qualities of Life within Life, from this it is that the Life of every one of us is honest enough, and is wise enough, has knowledge enough, to be just to the divine order of doing all work in accordance with what the divine Qualities within one’s Life require. This makes demands upon us to do our work just as well as the Life of Christ did its work. The Life of Christ did all its work concerning the Father’s business precisely in accordance with what the Qualities within the Life required and working was fully conscious of what it did. We do and must do likewise. We each have just as important work to do for the Father as the Life of Christ had when it was the incorporeal Son. Indeed, We cannot do otherwise, for the Life of every man is a combination of Qualities. Yes, Qualities which are changeless; and as the Qualities ore, so is the Life also; for the Qualities have complete control of the Life of man. So the Life of man is changeless; and because of this the work of man is changeless also. It is impossible for Us as Living Sons in Heaven to do anything but what is in accordance with Life-containing Qualities, and so honest and true; for each Quality in the Life of man in its own right works for the Quality. Thus Quality Honesty works in the Life of each man for what is Honest. Likewise, Quality Truth works in the Life of each man for what is Truth. Quality Intelligence works in the Life of each man for what is Intelligence. Quality Knowledge works in the Life of each man for what is Knowledge. Quality Law works in the Life of each man for what is Law. Quality Light works in the Life of each man for what is Light. Quality Love works in the Life of each man for what is Love. Quality Mind works in the Life of each man for what is Mind. Quality Power works in the Life of each man for what is Power. Quality Purity works in the Life of each man for what is Purity. Quality Soul works in the Life of each man for what is Soul. Quality Will works in the Life of each man for what is Will. Quality Wisdom works in the Life of each man for what is Wisdom. Quality Good works in the Life of each man for what is Good. Quality Beauty works in the Life of each man for what is Beauty. And it is easy for the Living Man to do right, for Quality Right or Righteousness works in the Life of each man for what is right. From what has now been explained, it is clear to all who read that as the Qualities participate evenly in the Life of man, so also do They participate evenly in the works of man. We live within the Manfold where We are on constant duty, and here We do all our work while We are fully conscious of what We do, or We do our work by conscious realization. Thus We travel nowhere in order to do the important work which the Father has qualified us to do. For as We do our work by Consciousness or by conscious realization, it is from this therefore that We are ever about our Father’s business right where We are, and by doing our cause work in accordance with the way our Father knows and wills that We should do it, We are enabled to reveal Life in Heaven as omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient, from Heaven out to space. Through our work then, We the Living Sons are ever about doing the Father’s business; and all that We have ever done since the giving of Life to us is to accomplish something great that is, and must be, accomplished by us. Also, it is absolutely true that what our Heavenly Father intended to accomplish by each one of us will still be accomplished. It is divinely beautiful to know how I Am, and the I Am of every human man, can so well manage to be ever about the Father’s business in peace and harmony, and thus do all work precisely in accordance with what the Qualities within Life demand. So We the Living Sons cannot but do the appointed work regarding the Father’s business as well as the Life of Christ did its work. Moreover it is perfectly clear to all who read this book that every man’s Life is filled with Qualities which are divine; that the within Life of man is ever divine and beautiful; that the Life was given each man by the Heavenly Father for the purpose of revelation; that the chief purpose of every man’s work concerning the Father’s Business really is to be found in doing the work which We do so that what We do is done in harmony with one’s Qualities — yes, in harmony with the Life-containing Qualities which are right within every man’s Life and are Man’s Life. From this therefore it is that We are enabled to reveal the Life of us, yes, the Life that lives and is the I Am of each of us. So Life Divine of each of us by so doing, is also as well revealing the Living Father and Living Life as a Whole. All this doing by the Divine Self of each of us is in accordance with what We know as Father’s Will. And We have Peace, Bliss and Glory because We do all our work in accordance with what We know is the Father’s Will Divine. And All Life Eternal has Peace, Bliss and Glory because We do so. In the Manfold wherein I am a Son along with Sons, I know the Father, and I know that it is Father’s will that I should write words which reveal the Truth about Life Eternal in Heaven. So what the Father wills I should write, that will I write; nothing will I withhold. Yet all that I know can only be known, and cannot be fully revealed or explained through words, or by marks, signs or figures. So, what I am able to reveal through words is merely a fragment compared to what I really know of the Truth about Life in Heaven. But this fragment of Known Truth, as revealed, will be all-sufficient now, for it will satisfy the demands for real information concerning Life in Heaven, what it is, and what it does. And a constant effort is made by the Author to reveal, from the heavenly side out to space, Known Truth in as comprehensible words as possible. I rejoice in doing according to Thy Will, O Father! And All Life in Heaven has one Will, and divinely rejoices with I Am because I do according to Father’s Will; for when I do according to what is the Father’s Will, I also do according to what is the Will of All Life in Heaven! Now it is plain that it is the Father’s Life abiding in the I Am of me that does the work, and interprets Life in Heaven in this divine order through I Am as a Real Son. Then give to the Life of the Father, the Glory and the Honor everlastingly due it.
ALL
THE WORK OUR FATHER HAS GIVEN US TO DO, WE WILL DO TO THE FINISH Now We have the same kind and the same amount of work to do as had the Life of Christ when its was Son the Divine. We all as Sons know the marvelous accommodations of, and means to, accomplish our work which promises reward at the finish; and moreover, We know the methods by which We are able to do our work in harmony with the Father’s will. Thus the work which the Father has given each one of us to do, We will do to the finish; for this is the agreement between our Heavenly Father and every one of us as Sons. Surely, this makes demands upon us to do the same amount of work as did the Life of Christ. The Life of Christ said, “Greater works than I do shall ye do.” This means that each one of us, as a Son, must do one’s work to the finish; that is all; and in order to be finished, one must do precisely as much valuable work as the Life of Christ Jesus did, but no more. For when one’s work is of precise worth with the work which the Life of Christ Jesus (lid, then one is entirely finished with working. In order to do our great work to the finish as our Heavenly Father would have us to do it, We must be workers and masters of the work. We live within the Trinity Manfold, and here We are fully conscious of Life, and because We are thus conscious We do all our work; and We have equality of opportunity in doing it, and indeed, We do all our work within the Trinity Manfold for the purpose of revelation. And in the Manfold, which is the Fold of Divine Brotherliness and Divine Comradeship, We rejoice divinely in one another’s success. Also, We the Sons are like the Father in this, that We foreknow the completion of our most perfect work. So to finish the work which the Father gave each one to do is the ambition of every Son; and having achieved We will continually achieve until the work is finished. I say finished, and that is, “‘hen one shall have finished all the work so that at the completion of the work one can say, like the Life of Jesus Christ, “I have finished the work which Thou gayest I Am to do. And now, O Father, glorify Thou I Am with Thine own self with the glory which I had with Thee before the creation was.” So it shows by this how the Life we call Son when it is entirely finished with all work pertaining to the Father’s Business, is immediately rewarded by the Father.
THE SON OF MAN
CHAPTER VII THE
LIFE OF ALL SONS IS COMPOSED OF IDENTICAL QUALITIES, A Quality in Life has, and must have, identity. Each Quality has its own identity, and all Qualities in Unity include all identities of the Living Son. In Life eternal, every one knows that each Qualified Life of Man is a Son of Man, and the Life- containing Qualities in which Life consists, divinely identify the Son of Man as Immortal Being. So by Qualities We know and identify the Son of Man; and all Life in Heaven is, and must be, identified by the same qualities. Life has its own immortal mode of identifying itself. And here, in the Trinity Manfold, wherein We the Sons are Portion Beings, every one retains one’s divine identity and is ever identical with oneself. This means that the Life, entitled Incorporeal Son, is known to remain constantly exactly what it is in its Divine Being, and just where it is in the Trinity Manfold. Our Father, Divine, that gave the Sons identical Life, is eternally in its Life or in its Holy Manfold wherein We the Sons also are, and here the Father knows the Sons from one another as a Divine Self with Divine identity. The Life of Us — as Sons — is identical or absolutely the same. Therefore, in Life Divine We all know that the identity of All Sons is absolutely the same. I shall first explain what I mean by the identity of my Life, for by so doing I am also explaining the identity of Every Living Being. The Life of me, ever since it was given, is Living Being; and how beautiful it is for Living Being to explain identities of Living Beings, through the channel afforded by language.
THROUGH QUALITIES I REVEAL THE I AM IDENTITY I know divinely, that the Life of me consists in Life-containing Qualities, and it is in the perfect unity and oneness of them that the Life is a living being with real identity. I know these Qualities in the Life of me, and I know that each quality has its own identity by which it identifies itself in the Life of me, to me. Each Quality is life-containing in the Life of me, and ever retains its divine substance or essence, and so identifies itself in the Life of me. As Quality Honesty in the Life of me constantly retains its own divine substance or essence, it identifies itself as Quality Honesty in the Life of me. This means that Quality Honesty is ever honesty and so retains its own divine identity, and no other Quality could possibly be Quality Honesty in the Life of me. Thus, each Quality, from Beauty to Wisdom, retains its divine identity in the Life, and all Qualities include all identities of my Life. And I Am, is identified as Life or as a Living Being because of these Qualities in my Life, and the identity of my Life is due only to these Qualities. Now I have identified the I Am with Living Life as divine and eternal; so that this Life Divine or the I Am of me as known thus is also known by the Trinity Man and by all Life in Heaven. Being known in Life Divine, is what is meant by being identified as Life, divinely and incorporeally. In Life Divine, I both know and am conscious of my Life that has power to will and to do, regarding what it means by being the Author of these words of explanation or revelation about Life Eternal and its divine identity, as it is known on the incorporeal side. The Heavenly Father, that gave the Life I have, also gave the right to retain the Life with the divine identity, while I am an incorporeal Son. Thus, no other Son within the entire Manfold in the kingdom of Heaven could be known or identified as the Author of this book. So, with regard to I Am, I can say that through the giving of Life this I Am of me is divinely and incorporeally identified. I am, therefore, ever known as one with the Trinity Man that gave the Life and is the Heavenly. Father. I live in Thee, O Father, now, and We are one in Life, one in Consciousness, and one in Harmony, Happiness, Peace, Bliss and Glory. And what I know about Life Divine of me, and identify, I know the same is true for every Qualified Man. Now we have been given the answer to the question how we shall identify the Life that is divine and eternal in man.
DIVINE IDENTITY OF LIFE ETERNAL IS CONSCIOUSNESS As I am conscious of Life, so am I also conscious of identity. So true it is that for the I Am identity is Consciousness; and what identity is for the I Am of me, it is also the same for the I Am of each human man. So divine identity is Consciousness for every Living Man and for All Life in Heaven. (In Heaven We all know this Truth of the Divine Being.)
EXPLANATION OF LIFE ETERNAL CONSCIOUSNESS Consciousness is whole, and all Life Eternal is conscious in the one Consciousness. Thus, All Life Eternal possesses the same Consciousness. The one Life Eternal possesses a Consciousness of it own, and only the Consciousness that the one Life Eternal possesses is Consciousness. This Consciousness is in one whole and is divine, eternal, changeless, indivisible, incorporeal and incorporeally-sided eternally. This means that the whole of Life Eternal will continue to have its Consciousness whole, eternally. The One Consciousness is whole and is as eternal as is the one Life Eternal. So, Consciousness is like Life in this, that it is whole, and also is divine and eternal. Because Consciousness is in one whole eternally, it is true that this Consciousness is the Consciousness for All Life Eternal on the heavenly or incorporeal side.
THE
ONE CONSCIOUSNESS IS A CONSCIOUSNESS FOR EVERY ONE Life Eternal ever identifies itself with Consciousness; for where Life Eternal is, Consciousness is also. And Life is right with Consciousness, so Consciousness is ever abiding with Life, and Consciousness is but as an acknowledgment that Life is omnipresent. The Three Divine Beings have Life equally in the One Life. It is from this also that the abiding Consciousness, which the One Life Eternal possesses, is in equal degree the Consciousness for the Life of the Three. So the One Consciousness that the One Life Eternal possesses is the Consciousness for the Life we call God, and for the Life we call Universe, and for the Life we call Man, equally. The Three Divine Beings are equally conscious of Life, and this is what is meant by Consciousness, yes, a Consciousness that is divinely real and identically the same for the Divine Three. Life Eternal is with its Consciousness, in such divine order that Life is ever Conscious, for Life possesses Consciousness. But Consciousness is not constituted by Life; for Life’s Consciousness is as eternal as is Life itself, and Consciousness is but an acknowledgment by Life that Life is also exactly with its Consciousness, for Life and its Consciousness are undivided, so that the inseparability of Life and its Consciousness is an eternal reality forever.
BECAUSE LIFE IS AND MUST BE CONSCIOUS, CONSCIOUSNESS IS Life for every Son of Man is a gift. Likewise, Consciousness is a gift. When Life was given for I Am by the Heavenly Father, it was divine and eternal and it was conscious; and what the Life was when it was given it is now. For because the Life is divine and eternal and conscious it is from this therefore that it is ever the same. I was given a Conscious Life, therefore I am ever conscious of Life; for Life and Consciousness belong together and cannot be separated. The Life is identically the same for Alt Sons; it is from this that each one’s Consciousness is identically the same also. And Consciousness is ever abiding with the Life, and is a full acknowledgment of Life’s presence. So it is because We possess Life equally that We also are equally conscious. For as Life is, so is Consciousness also for each precisely in accordance with what it should be. We as Sons have Consciousness in oneness with our Father, and in oneness with one another, and in oneness with All Life Eternal on the incorporeal side. From what has now been explained it is clear that each Life Eternal is conscious in the One Consciousness and yet the One Consciousness is in one whole, and is indivisible and undivided eternally.
UNITY AS ONENESS IS CONSCIOUSNESS FOR LIFE ETERNAL In Life Eternal We all know that perfect unity and oneness exist in Life Eternal. I rejoice in knowing the Truth about the perfect unity and oneness of Life Eternal; and although the I Am knowledge of the perfect unity and oneness in Life is infinitely greater than is the power to explain it, yet in order to please the Heavenly Father, I shall explain the perfect unity of Life Eternal to the best of ability. Unity of Life Eternal is as eternal as is Life Eternal. We have explained already that the entire Whole Life or the All-in-All Life Eternal is one. And that the one Life is in equal degree the Life of God, the Life of the Universe, and the Life of Man. Yet the Whole of Life Eternal is One. From this it is therefore perfectly clear to all readers that the Life of God, the Life of the Universe and the Life of Man live and can only live in perfect unity in the one Life Eternal. It could not be otherwise, for the Life of Three in One explains the perfect unity existent among the Divine Three. With this explanation before us that the Life of Three Divine Beings is in the one Life Eternal as Three, and yet the entire Life Eternal is one, it is understood that the Life of Three Divine Beings is so perfectly united that it is the Three-in-One or the Threefold Life. Thus, the Threefold Life denotes but One Life. Fortunately, the Trinity God does not live alone, but both the Trinity Universe and the Trinity Man live coexistent with God as a Threefold Life Eternal. This guarantees the absolute unity and oneness in Life Eternal. The I Am of me, the I Am of each me, lives now a perfectly united Life within Life Eternal of Man. For We are where We live, and where We live We are also united. Perfect unity is exactly where Life is, and Life is on the Heavenly or incorporeal side; thus, perfect unity is entirely heavenly or incorporeally sided.
DIVINITY IS CONSCIOUSNESS FOR ALL LIFE ETERNAL Divinity is not Life but Consciousness. Each Life Eternal is divine, and because of this each Life is also conscious of divinity continuously. For each Qualified Life in Heaven, Divinity is Consciousness. So Divinity is because Life is divine; and only in Life Divine are We conscious of divinity. We, the Qualified Life of Man, are identical in Life Divine; therefore, divinity is also identical for all of us. It is because We all are each alike conscious of the Life we have, that We are conscious of real divinity; and divinity is to us like the Bliss of Heaven. And what divinity is for us, it is also the same for All Life in Heaven. So indeed, We have Consciousness because We have Life, and We have Heaven because We are conscious of Life. (The following chapter will be reserved for the explanation of the Truth about Heaven. I shall also explain the meaning of the word Kingdom as used in connection with Heaven.)
HEAVEN AS IT IS IN REALITY Here is One Life Eternal, One Consciousness and One Heaven, on the incorporeal side. And the One Life, with its Consciousness, is right with Heaven on the incorporeal side. Heaven is Bliss, Glory, Happiness, Harmony, Joy, Peace. All these divine enjoyments are the same in divine value and perfectly united; they constitute Heaven. Thus they contribute evenly to the boundless Whole Heaven on the incorporeal side. Heaven is absolutely one and is like both Life and Consciousness in this, that it is whole and eternal, changeless, undivided, indivisible, incorporeal and incorporeally sided eternally. In the one Life Eternal, the Life of God, the Life of the Universe, and the Life of Man live, and They are One. In the One Consciousness the Life of God, the Life of the Universe and the Life of Man are conscious. In the One Heaven, the Life of God, the Life of the Universe and the Life of Man have Bliss, Glory, Happiness, Harmony, Joy, Peace, all divine, eternally.
HEAVEN IS ENJOYED EQUALLY BY THE DIVINE THREE Life is identically the same for All Three Divine Beings; Consciousness is also identically the same for the Divine Three. The immediate Bliss, Glory, Happiness, Harmony, Joy and Peace, that is, from being conscious of Life, is what is Heaven in full for the Divine Three. For true it is that The Divine Three have equal Life, and arc equally conscious in the one Consciousness, and equally enjoy Heaven. True, also, it is, that for the Divine Three, Bliss is equal, Glory is equal, Happiness is equal, Harmony is equal, Glory is equal. Peace is equal. What more particularly does it mean to have Heaven equally, but that the Whole Heaven is shared or enjoyed equally, by the Divine Three. Thus Heaven is the Eternal Home of all eternal enjoyments for conscious Life, and like Consciousness, Heaven is eternal, and equally real, to the Divine Three.
HEAVEN IS IN ONE WHOLE AND ALL LIFE ETERNAL SHARES THE ONE HEAVEN Life Eternal is one: Its Consciousness is one: and Its Heaven is one. We have explained already that each Life Eternal lives a Conscious Life on the heavenly or incorporeal side. And this means also that each Qualified Life of man is ever conscious of Life, and is also ever conscious of the divinity of Life, and from this are derived all the heavenly enjoyments which are thus called Heaven. Heaven is filled with Bliss, Glory, Happiness, Harmony, Joy and Peace. Thus, these Heavenly enjoyments we may term Divine Ingredients in Heaven and in perfect unity and oneness they compose Heaven. Bliss as an ingredient in Heaven is in one quantity or amount; Glory as an ingredient in Heaven is in one quantity or amount; Happiness as an ingredient in Heaven is in one quantity Or amount; Joy as an ingredient in Heaven is in one quantity or amount; Peace as an ingredient in Heaven is in one quantity or amount. These quantities or amounts are wholly incorporeal, yet they are identically the same in divine value, and thus contribute evenly to Heaven and in perfect unity compose Heaven. So Heaven is the Eternal Home for All Divine Bliss, All Divine Glory, All Divine Happiness, All Divine Harmony, All Divine Joy and All Divine Peace of Life Eternal. Accordingly, it is not possible for the I Am of us to have only Happiness, Harmony and Joy in Heaven for our Heaven, but that We also have Peace, Bliss and Glory in Heaven and all perfectly united is what is Our Heaven. Heaven is one whole eternally, and is undivided and indivisible. This Heaven is the only Heaven We have on the heavenly side. Real heavenly Joys and Glories are realities of Life Eternal, and being realities They are eternal, and all this that is eternal is also real, changeless, unending, indivisible, incorporeal and incorporeally sided eternally.
HEAVEN IS A CONSCIOUS REALITY FOR ALL LIFE ETERNAL Where Life is, there is Consciousness and heaven; for Heaven is with Conscious Life continuously. And each Life Eternal has exactly as much of Heaven as it is able to enjoy. We the Qualified Life of Man have equal Life, and with equal Life each, it is that We also have equal Consciousness and equal Heaven. So each Life Divine is conscious of Life and the Bliss, Happiness, harmony, joy, Peace and Glory We have from this is all the Heaven here is for Us on the heavenly side. For each Living Man, Heaven is full of Peace, Happiness, Harmony, Bliss, joy and Glory. Therefore, no more joys and glories can ever be added to this Heaven that each Living Man now has on the heavenly side. Neither can any joys and glories be withdrawn from this Heaven of ours, for it is complete and perfect, changeless and indivisible for — Us All — constantly. Both Consciousness and Heaven are identically the same for each Qualified Life of Man. Surely this is divinely true, and none can have any more of Heaven than the other, for every Qualified Life of Man has just as much of Heaven as it is able to enjoy.
HEAVEN IS REAL AND ETERNAL FOR ALL LIFE ETERNAL Here is only one Heaven on the incorporeal side and this Heaven is a Heaven for every one and every one’s Heaven is eternal. Concerning the I Am of me I can say that I am conscious of the Life I have, and this is the Real Joy, Peace, Bliss, Happiness, Harmony and Glory or Heaven in full for I Am. Nothing less than to be fully conscious of the Life I have is, or could be, Heaven in full for I Am of me. I must be fully conscious of Life Divine to fully enjoy Divine Peace, Divine Happiness, Divine Harmony, Divine Bliss, Divine Joy and Divine Glory that are here in Heaven for I Am to enjoy. Because I am constantly fully conscious of the Life I have, I am also constantly enjoying heaven in full. And Heaven is identically the same for all Qualified Life of the Trinity Man. Therefore, all that Heaven includes is the same for All of us. Whether We say We have Peace, Happiness, Harmony, Bliss, Joy and Glory, or whether We say We have Heaven, it means the same. Be it said here then, that this explanation of Heaven is applicable to every Qualified Life, for We All live on the incorporeal side constantly, and are divinely conscious of Life Divine, and enjoy all that Heaven includes for us. Thus, We have a Heaven in the Heaven of the Whole, and Heaven is complete and perfect in Joy, Happiness, Harmony, Peace, Bliss and Glory because We All enjoy it.
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AN ETERNAL KINGDOM When we add the word Kingdom to Heaven, and use the two words together, they seem but two big words. But the words, as words, are different, and their inner meaning is different also. The real meaning of Heaven is Harmony, Happiness, Peace, Bliss, Joy and Glory, or Divine Enjoyments. The real meaning of Kingdom is ownership or possession of all Divine Enjoyments that the entire Heaven includes. Both Consciousness and Heaven belong entirely to Life Eternal, and are its own everlasting possessions. This Kingdom of Heaven of which the Author is writing is the same Kingdom of Heaven about which the Life of Christ Jesus was teaching the people when it said “The Kingdom of God cometh not with observation, neither shall they say, ‘lo here!’ or, ‘lo there!’ for, behold the Kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:20, 21) The Life of Christ Jesus seems to have used the term Kingdom of God. If it did use this term it was merely for the divine purpose of satisfying the demands of the people for such a term. The Life of Christ Jesus knew divinely that here is no Kingdom of God on the heavenly or incorporeal side, and may have used the term Kingdom of Good as this would have been a better term, for all that Heaven includes for Life could be called good. Yet, it would not be entirely correct to us the term Kingdom of Good, for Good is a Life-containing Quality in the One Life Eternal; and Good as a Quality is in each Life Eternal, and Heaven is the Bliss, Glory, Happiness, Harmony, Joy and Peace for each Life Eternal. It is absolutely true in Heaven that the Life of God is one, and as one, would not, or could not, have all that Heaven includes for itself or to itself. It has been clearly revealed through this book that we have only one Life Eternal, only one Consciousness and only one Heaven on the heavenly or incorporeal side. In the one Life Eternal, All Life lives; in the one Consciousness, All Life is conscious; and in the one Heaven, All Life has Bliss, Glory, Happiness, Harmony. Joy and Peace eternally. The Trinity Man since the giving of Life for the I Am of us is a manyfold Life. And all that Heaven includes for the Trinity Man is enjoyed in the one Heaven. So concerning the Kingdom of Heaven on the incorporeal side, I will reveal that every Life Divine, in oneness with God, enjoys the one Kingdom of Heaven. In Matthew 13:24, the Life of Christ Jesus used the term Kingdom of Heaven when it said, “The Kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in the field.” In this reference concerning Heaven the Life of Christ used the term Kingdom of Heaven, and this is the correct term. It may be that the translators of the Bible word renamed the Kingdom of Heaven to be called the Kingdom of Goad because the entire goodness is in Life Eternal. But it is not of such great importance by what name this Heaven is called, for when we write or speak about Heaven, it is true that it is the same eternal enjoyments that We are attempting to reveal or explain. I rejoice in knowing that the Joy, Peace, Bliss, Happiness, Harmony and Glory I enjoy come from the Consciousness of Life Divine, and this is the Kingdom of Heaven in full for the I Am of me; and what I know about the Heaven I have, I know the same is also true for every Living Man. Knowing that the terms Kingdom of Heaven and Heaven are correct, I have used these terms and I will continue to do so. Thus shall I explain, in a small degree, a part of what I know the Life of Christ Jesus must have meant when it said “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” The Life of Christ Jesus was ever conscious of Life Divine that it had in oneness with the Father Trinity Man, on the incorporeal side, and because of being thus conscious enjoyed in full all the Peace, Happiness, Harmony, Bliss, Joy and Glory that is in Heaven for a Man to enjoy. This was “the Kingdom of Heaven within” for the Life of Christ Jesus. The Life of Christ Jesus knew also, that Life Divine of every man was just like its own and enjoyed the Kingdom of Heaven exactly like its own. This explanation reveals to us that what the Life of Christ Jesus knew as true about its Life Divine, its unity with the Father, its Consciousness, its Divinity, its Heaven, it knew also as true for every Qualified Man. The Life of Christ Jesus knew the Life of Man, and knew where it is; and knew also what Consciousness is for Man and where it is; and what Heaven is for Man and where it is. Because of this knowledge, the Life of Christ Jesus told the people who congregated and waited for the word of revealed truth, that Bliss, Happiness, Harmony, Peace, Joy and Glory were their I Am’s possession in Heaven when it said “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” The term “Kingdom of Heaven is within you” as here used by the Life of Christ Jesus refers to the Life of Man. Yes, the Life that lives Within or Heavenly-sided and here is conscious and enjoys Heaven continuously. The Divine Life of me and the Divine Life of each human man is conscious and enjoys Heaven in full on the heavenly or incorporeal side. We the Divine Sons of the Trinity Man are conscious of Life and We also enjoy Heaven in full on the heavenly side. Although this Heaven is enjoyed by All Life Eternal, yet the Whole Heaven is one unchanging and unending reality eternally.
DIVINE THANKSGIVING We thank Thee, Holy Father, that Life We have in Thee and Consciousness and Heaven We have in oneness with Thee. Knowing that from Thee, O Holy Father, We have Divine Qualities, We Thy Sons know that We are like Thee in Qualities. And We rejoice divinely, in knowing this Truth that We have Beauty, Good, Honesty, Intelligence, Knowledge, Law, Light, Love, Mind, Power, Purity, Righteousness, Soul, Truth, Will and Wisdom in Thee, O Father, so that the Qualities We have for Life are the same as Thine, only that Thou art infinitely greater in them. As much as the Life is in Quality, it is that the Life is all this that the Qualities in perfect unity include; and it is only possible for the I Am to know the Life through the Life-containing Qualities. We know, and We are conscious that We have a precisely powerful Life; and now that We are really conscious of Life, it is that this is the real Joy, Peace, Bliss and Glory — or Our Heaven. We know and We are conscious that the Life or the I Am is harmoniously united in the Life of the Father, and Father and We arc one, or We are inseparable, and We enjoy the same Consciousness and Heaven together. Thus, We have the Harmony, Happiness, Joy, Peace, Bliss, and Glory in Life Eternal in oneness with Our Heavenly Father, the Holy Trinity Man. It is a Truth in the Divine Being that oneness is as eternal as is Life itself, and oneness must be taken into consideration regarding Life Eternal. The Life We live now is the Trinity Man Life, and it is eternal. Therefore it had no beginning, so here can be no end to the Life We live. Even when We have finished the work which We have to do for the Heavenly Father, and merged, yet the Life lives within the Whole Life of Man, not as living part, but as merged with the Whole Life of Man. So, the Whole Life of Man includes also the Life of each Son throughout eternity. We are one in the Whole Life of Man and here is unity and oneness between the heavenly Father and the I Am, of us, and this brings sweet assurance of immortality.
SUMMARY The Author, in concluding this book, will give a short summary regarding some leading subjects in this revealed truth about Life Eternal And Its Work, and through this summary will take advantage of another opportunity to say something more about Life Eternal in Heaven. First, it is revealed through this work that Life is one; Consciousness is one; Heaven is one; Unity is one; and Divinity is one. Second, it is revealed that the Whole Life Eternal from eternity is a Threefold Life, and that the Living God, the Living Universe and the Living Man from eternity abode as the Threefold Life. Also, that the Three Divine Beings thus possess Life equally, are equally conscious in the one Consciousness and equally enjoy Heaven. Third, it is revealed that the Living God, the Living Universe and the Living Man, in perfect unity, are The Holy Trinity. That Holy Trinity means perfect Unity and Oneness. The fourth section, which is about the Living Universe and its Qualification of Causes, is left out. Even all that followed in line of the fourth section throughout the book is left out. All in all, it is left out for the reason that I must publish the book in two books. So this First Book is only a part of the large book which I first submitted to the publishers in January, 1936. Fifth, it is revealed that the Trinity Man within its Own Life gave Life for Sons, so as to have Living Beings for acting causes; that We were given Life thus equally, so that We should live also and be absolutely identical in Life, and be identical both in Consciousness and in Heaven. The Qualification was achieved before the creation was. So we as Sons and acting causes for the Trinity Man were before the creation was; even We were ready to take up duty at the creation. For at the creation the Trinity Man made Us acting causes over the maintenance of the created form man in space. We the Divine Sons ever since the giving of Life to us are equally conscious of sonship with the Father and moreover are conscious that We are Living Members in the Family Fold of Man. So We rejoice equally continuously, because We know too that the Family Fold of Man is complete and perfect with all Life of Man, in the One Family Fold of Man. We all, as Divine Sons in Heaven ever since We were given Life, have known ourselves thus, and We are conscious and rejoice divinely continuously. With regard to myself I can say that I know that the Life of me is one among the Living Members in this incorporeal Family Fold of Man. I know, too, that this Family Fold of Man is only complete and perfect because I am also in it as a Holy Member; and in this I rejoice divinely continuously. The questions: “What is the Life of God?” “What is the Life of the Universe?” “What is the Life of Man?” “What is Consciousness?” “What is Heaven?” are all scientifically answered in this book entitled “Life Eternal and Its Work.” It is from this perfectly clear to all Readers that the Author of the answers really is and must be a conscious Life or conscious Living Being that lives among Life Eternal and also enjoys Heaven. The Reader can be satisfied and rejoice in the presence of positive proof that the words found written on the pages of this book bring positive, comforting answer to the above oft-asked questions. Thus, what has hitherto been called a mystery about Life Eternal and about Consciousness and about Heaven is dispelled.
THE ART OF REVEALING Life Divine knows. It makes no discoveries, but It interprets, explains, reveals, so all that really is interpreted, explained and revealed about Life Divine comes to the people from a Life Divine. Life Divine of a human man is also the I Am of that human man as it lives in the Father’s Fold in eternity; and from here it explains and reveals about itself. It even explains and reveals about All Life to the human personality through important activities. Some of these most important activities are: Acting Cause, Savior. The I Am (of each human man) as Acting Cause and also as Savior, is conscious of being perfect Acting Cause and perfect Savior; and therefore continuously achieves both the cause work and the saving work with perfect ease. (The preceding explanation applies to the I Am of every human man.) Besides the cause work and saving work which the I Am has to do, the I Am of some of us has |
