God's Promise to Man |
All the others preceded it. It started in 1959, on the 20th day of July, in San Francisco. Then came the revelation of David in the month of December 6, 1959; then came the splitting of the temple (which is the body) on April 8, 1960. Then came that interval of a few years until the first of this year, January 1st, where the dove descended. Knowing my scripture, I knew then that his work really began. That power laden-work started at the descent of the dove, which symbolized the Holy Spirit. |

The Pure in Heart |
He’ll never in eternity depart from that homogenous substance into which he sunk himself when he decided to make man in his own image. But he has to make it, first of all, out of pure gold. May I tell you that it is really pure gold—I’m not kidding—when you see it one day after the temple has been torn from top to bottom. As you’re told in the Book of Hebrews, it identifies the spiritual body with the curtain of the temple: “And the curtain was torn, from top to bottom… and then he entered into the Holy of Holies forever” . No intermediary thereafter. But when it’s torn, you look and you see… |

So here, our scientists in this generation, in our generation, they have found this peculiar particle. Well, I am not a scientist, but I have found that I can use it in a way that maybe they will not admit, and you can use it. I was struck, and I jumped back in time 2,000 years in the twinkle of an eye after an enormous blow in my head delivered by God to have the experience as described in the Book of Luke. And then five months later, another blow, terrific blow, and I jumped back another thousand years in time, not in space; and then, four months later, another thousand years, where the… |

Then comes the third. The third is the ascension, where man actually ascends. He is not man, yet he is man. He hasn’t any loss of consciousness and no change of identity, but here is a golden, liquid being that he is. And just as described, an earthquake takes place. You don’t get out; this whole thing takes place in the body, not out of the body. For when you rise up, after having been split right down the middle, from top to bottom, and then you rise into Zion, which is your skull—that’s the great holy sepulcher—you make an Herculean effort to get out. You can’t get out. You are around the… |

But as far as I’m concerned it was no pain. It was ecstatic delight, supreme delight, when he made me alive. And then, he cleaved to me, remained faithful to his love, and then he awoke me.

You look at him, and there’s no doubt in your mind who he is; there’s no doubt in his mind who you are. It takes the Son to reveal the Father, and you didn’t know for one moment you were he until the Son reveals you to yourself. And then the third in the great gift is when out of the blue, you are torn in two, from top to bottom; and then you ascend, a living being, something that is fiery and alive. You ascend right into Zion, which is your skull. And these three parts mark the great gift, called in the Bible “grace,” an unearned, unmerited gift. |

He Breaks the Shell |
A bolt of lightning splits man in two from the top of his skull to the base of his spine. He is cleft as though he were a tree that had been struck by lightning. At the base of his severed body he sees “the blood of Jesus,” a pool of molten gold; he knows it is himself; then, fusing with “the blood of Jesus,” he ascends his severed spine in a serpentine motion into his skull. This is to fulfil the Scripture: “This Son of Man must be lifted up as the serpent was lifted up by Moses in the wilderness”. |

It happens with a bolt of lightning out of the nowhere splitting man in two, from the top of his head to the base of his spine; and then at the base of his spine he sees golden, liquid light. It’s molten gold, and he knows it’s himself, and he fuses with it as he looks at it. He ascends this spinal column of his right up into heaven. |

Well, this wonderful day that is approaching the outer world is a day that takes place in man. It’s a moment in time. In my own case it was not December the 25th, it was the 20th day of July of 1959. That was my Christmas. And my discovery of the fatherhood of God was on the 6th day of December of ’59. My splitting of the curtain of the temple of my own body was on the 8th day of April, 1960. And the descent of the dove upon me, smothering me with love, was on the 1st day of January in 1963. So these days are indelibly impressed upon me. But I do not use them as anniversaries, I simply wrote… |

Now what comes next? He tells me that he’s going to take his own blood as a sacrifice of his journey…not the blood of another. And all of a sudden, the veil we are told is split from the top to the bottom. And then I find the veil is my own body as told us in Hebrews: “And the veil…he rent the veil from top to bottom…and the veil of the temple was his own flesh”. I found my own body split in two and parted, and I see the blood, living blood, and I am it. For life is in the blood and I am life: the life is an activity of my imagining. Because I have discovered it, I imagined and stopped it and… |

Well, Tom, they could. I doubt it, I doubt it. They believe that if you simply bottle up the energy that is going down into generation that you could in some way reverse it into regeneration. You can’t do it, you just can’t do it. That is an act of the splitting of the temple. When that curtain is split from top to bottom, your whole body is split; and then you see the whole energy that was at the base of the spine, that living, wonderful, golden liquid light. You merge with it. You are the observer, and you merge with it, and you are it. Then you go like a serpent right up into your head. So… |

Then the whole Bible opens up differently…and you will see the wisdom of Blake when he said, “Rivers, mountains, cities, villages all are human for in eternity all are men.” So last Monday when we brought out that the great mountain that was divided, it’s called the great Mount of Olives, but it is man that is divided. It is my own body that was divided, and one part moved northward, one part moved southward after it was split from east to west. So all the mountains become man and you are that man.

It’s the blood of God and you are God…for it was just revealed to you, just four months before, that you are the father of God’s only begotten Son. So who now is split?

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up”. Here, who would think that infinity took the form of a serpent?

My religion is infinite power and taking upon himself the form of man. He said that he emptied himself and took upon himself the form of man, becoming obedient unto death, even the death upon the cross . So a complete, I would say, abdication. He just simply completely abdicated his infinite power and assumed the limitations of this concrete state called man, but he had not yet died; the death comes at the splitting of the temple.

You are split in two from top to bottom, and then you behold this fiery, golden, liquid light at the base of your spine; and, like a serpent – a fiery serpent, coiled like spiral lightning – you ascend into heaven. Well, where… |

Then, a hundred and twenty-three days later, here comes another grand event, and my temple is split, for we are told in Scripture. “You are the temple of the Living God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you.” If you are the temple of the Living God and the curtain of the temple is torn from top to bottom, there must be something about you that is torn from top to bottom. Don’t go into any temple made with hands, for you will not find God there. God dwells in a temple made without hands, and if you are the temple of the Living God and the Living God’s Spirit dwells within you, and the curtain… |

And, then, nine hundred and ninety-eight days later, making a total of one thousand two hundred and sixty days, the dove . . the symbol of the Holy Spirit . . hovers above you as though floating . . floating on water, but the water is crystal clear . . luminous, but it is transparent. But the action of the dove leads you to believe it must be floating, for it doesn’t use its wings. It makes no effort to remain afloat; it is simply floating, but it is floating without the effort made for a bird to move. It makes no effort; therefore, it is floating as a duck would float. But it’s not a duck;… |

Well, you see, in the Bible numbers have their symbol- ical meaning. They have multiple meanings. “Forty” is the 13th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The letter is “MEM.” Its symbol is the womb of a woman, that which gives birth. So, here he goes into the period of creativity. Will he accept the test? He accepts the test, but he plays only Scripture in defiance of his own temptation. It*s not a being outside of himself tempting him. The whole story unfolds within the mind of ; the individual.

I am telling you what I know from experience. Everyone in this world is going to have that experience. For your true being is God, not something on the outside. The God in you, now entombed in the body that you, in your descent, penetrated and annexed its brain. And do not let anyone tell you that the descent, as you descend it — what an adventure! — and annexed the brain of the body you now wear, that that is less wonderful than what you are going to experience when you ascend and you penetrate and annex the brain of the heavenly man. That ascent is as real as anything you’ve ever dreamed in… |

God's Timeless Purpose |
11 years ago, on the 8th of April, when I was lifted up, as my body, the cross that I wore, through the sanctuaries, at that moment in time it was split in two, from top to bottom. And here — I saw, how on earth can you describe this to any person and make sense of it — here my body is completely split in two. And I am looking now at a pool of golden liquid pulsing light. And I know it is myself. As I know it, I, the observer, fuse with it. It is myself. My own redeemer and creator. And yet it is myself. Like a self-redemption. A self-created being. Fiery serpent, I ascended into heaven. You… |

And at the base of the spine you will see golden, pulsing, liquid light — “I am the light of the world” — you’ll see it, and, as an observer, you will know you are what you are, that you’re actually beholding yourself.

And yet it happened in me. The entire pattern gathered itself together in me, and in 1,260 days it unfolded in me. And here I am now, fully conscious of the fact that I am the father of David, that David mentioned in those 39 books. I am fully conscious of the fact that it was of me that Moses wrote when he spoke of the fiery serpent rising up upon the great staff.

It must, because He sent me and His word, and He is called the Word of God. He only sends the Word. And I am the word that He sent. He embraced me—incorporated me into his body, which is infinite love—and then sent me. And therefore, I cannot return unto Him void. I must return unto Him, having completed the action that He sent me to perform. And so, having performed it, He has His own way now of spreading it.

You’re actually looking at yourself and yet it is formless and you fuse with it, and then you become that fiery serpent, and up you go into the brain and it vibrates like thunder. Then you are completely turned around. The energies that went down into generation are now turned up into regeneration. |
