TEMPLE OF LIGHT

SOMEONE ONCE POETICALLY DESCRIBED the physical body as “frozen light,” and so it may well be.  The temple of flesh gives expanded dimension and form to an invisible and sacred energy field.  At the moment of its conception, two germs, half-cells, come together in the womb to establish a point of agreement through which a radiant focus of life, with the help of a pinch of genetic material, sets up a force-field of subatomic particles into which are drawn trillions of atoms to give flesh-form to a human being.  A temple is thus created by the Light of Life.

This focus is spiritual in nature and is who we are.  What holds the form together and moves it about is the radiant focus of spirit, the incarnate angelic being, working in and through his or her own energy field. The physical body, with its mind and heart, is an entity that clothes the incarnate divine spirit that is Man, from whence it derives all of its qualities and characteristics.  In essence Man is a spiritual being who, in order to clothe himself or herself with a garment for earthly incarnation,  has lifted up humus substance from out of the earth in the quiet, dark privacy of the womb and drawn it together, one atom at a time, along specific lines of force in a bio-magnetic field of radiation.  These lines of force radiate outward from a central hub of light, which has focus and position but has no magnitude. Our divine nature is one of pure consciousness of being and our identity is simply I Am, which is the identity of God and of all God’s offspring, the angelic hosts, both those incarnate on earth and those who inhabit the Realms of Light. To incarnate on earth the angel creates a physical body, which is his or her temple in the earthly realm of form.

The design of the physical body, then, is held inviolate within the angel’s own consciousness and bio-magnetic force field (“bio” simply meaning “life” and “magnetic” meaning “attractive”) in much the same way as metal filings are held in a pattern which manifests the magnetic field into which they have been drawn.  Divine purpose is thus revealed for the forms thus drawn together.  Divine Will is thus accomplished on earth as it is in heaven through the form.  The dynamics of the anatomy and integrity of the human body—that which holds it together—is the attractive nature of life itself. 

Life is a very attractive force, brought forth out of the union of love and truth. Love gives life its irresistible power of attraction. Truth gives it its myriad designs and elements of control.  Atoms and cells rush toward this power, as moths toward a glowing light bulb, to give their very existence to its glorious manifestation in form.  Without the life force these building blocks of creation have no meaning or point of orientation.  As with the moth, when the light of life goes out in one living body of form, it goes elsewhere to find other ways to clothe itself and worship the Creator.

A Triune Design     

Through the inspired words of Uranda, we learn that the three aspects of Divine Being—Life, Truth and Love—comprise the vibratory foundation upon which our house of being is built.  For example, Love is the vibratory foundation of the heart realm, by means of which the angel has the capacity to express spiritually and with feeling in the world of physical form.  We have a heart to know and express love, in other words, and when the human heart is used for that purpose it is happy to be open, loving, peaceful and generous. It is also utterly fulfilled.

Likewise, Truth is the vibratory foundation of the mind, by means of which the incarnate angel may function in an orderly and controlled fashion with purpose and design in the physical, material plane. We have a mind to know the truth and to shine the light of intelligence and wisdom in a focused way into the world.  When the mind is used in accordance with its design, it is calm, stayed in the moment and entirely sane while focusing the light of truth in radiant streams of thought.  It is truly a bearer of light and a window of heaven letting heaven’s light shine forth into the world of creation.  

The human mind is designed to function much as a lens through which the light of truth finds focus and application in the world of physical form.  It is not the light itself but rather a means for conveying light.  The mind has a dual role as both light-bearer and guardian of the heart.  In biblical texts this capacity is called Lucifer, from the Latin, lux or lucis, meaning light, and ferre, to bear.  It is also translated from the Latin as morning star.  The word luciferous is also derived from the same root and relates to the light of intelligence or mental insight.  In Christian doctrine and legend, Lucifer was once a bright angel in heaven who is said to have gotten into a battle with the Archangel Michael and was cast out of heaven.  The prophet Isaiah exclaims of his misfortune:  “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning….” (Isaiah 14: 12).

One might glean from such beautiful names as “morning star” and “son of the morning” that the role of this light-bearer is essential to the beginning of every creative process, perhaps in the same way as a lens of a projector is essential to the clarity of the image cast upon the screen.   The very first creative command in Genesis, for example, when the heavens and the earth were created and while yet “the earth was without form and void,” was “Let there be light.”   The human mind’s rightful place in the Divine Design for creation is in heaven providing the means by which the light of truth may be focused so that what is projected through it upon the screen of life for creative action on earth is clearly and precisely as it is in heaven.  The mind thus plays an absolutely vital role in the process by which the invisible design of life is made visible, the light of the Creator in heaven re-focused in the earth.

The light of truth is essential to right function in the body temple, as it is in all living forms, for without design and control life is not possible. This third aspect of spirit, life, is the vibratory foundation which provides the bio-magnetic grid for the fleshing out of the physical body.  We have a body, in other words, to express the radiant and attractive spirit of life.  When this life expression is less than what it needs to be to sustain the physical form, the physical form begins to disintegrate and pass away in what is known as disease and death. This experience has not always been so for mankind, but it is the way things are now in the “fallen state.”

As Isaiah put it, “how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!” referring to Lucifer’s fall from heaven.  In the body temple these “nations” can be seen as the organs and systems.  They are weak with disease without the light bearer on the job in heaven focusing the light of truth, insight and intelligence necessary for right action in and through the body temple.

The spiritual body of Man, then, is angelically vibrational in its makeup and nature.  It is an invisible spiritual temple, a place where God is worshiped at all times.  The angel, it is said, always beholds the face of God, never ceases from worshiping God, eternally abides in the love of God and is humbly bowed before the throne of God in heaven in profound adoration and utter abandon to God’s will. The angel carries the true identity of the human being.  As I said earlier, the angel bears the name of God, I Am.  He/she is beautiful beyond human imaginings, glorious beyond words and as eternal as life itself. Incarnate in human form, the angel ever seeks to share his/her divine qualities and characteristics with the incarnating capacities so that divine light might be expressed through them into the world to initiate cycles and enlighten the processes of creation. Our human capacities become the tabernacle of God on Earth the moment of angelic incarnation.

The tabernacle of Moses, as mentioned earlier, was a portable tent for the very practical purpose of carrying around the “ark or the covenant,” which held the stone plates on which the Ten Commandments were inscribed. In much the same way, the human body, with its finer substance of mind and heart—especially the heart or feeling realm—is a tabernacle for the incarnate angel.  It provides a very practical means for the angel to come into this world and move around from place to place.  I am sure that if the angel fully had his or her way with these capacities, such physical movement as we now know would be much less laborious and probably at the speed of thought.  We have realized in human form only a small fraction of our true potential as incarnate angels.  

In light of these things, one can see how truly it was said that “the tabernacle of God is with men.”   Men and women are the “portable tents,” so-to-speak, for carrying God around in this world—literally, if you consider the skin of our bodies as being a membrane covering and enclosing the body temple.   How truly sacred is our anatomy when seen in this light; how beautifully and wonderfully made!  How practical, too.  Yet does this flesh merely reflect and define the divine design of the spiritual body of the angel.  —SACRED ANATOMY (at Amazon Books)

 “If flesh came into being because of spirit, it is wonderful.  If spirit came into being because of the body, it is exceedingly wonderful.  I am amazed that this great wealth has appeared in this poverty.”  —Jesus, from The Gospel of Thomas
