VERIFICATION OF THE PATTERN EVIDENCE AND PROOF
By Dr. Henry C. Kinley
He gave this lecture to a class at 1347 North Cahuenga Blvd., in Hollywood, CA . ***Note: Although the True Names were revealed to Dr. Kinley in a vision in 1931 he used Lord, God, and Jesus Christ until he published Elohim, The Archetype Original Pattern of the Universe in 1961. Minor editorial changes also have been made for clarity and to preserve the flow of thought.
We have previously propounded the premise that God is the source and substance from which ALL THINGS in the material realm originate. Now let us extend this thought thusly. The Universe in its totality, including and embracing every created object or thing, visible and invisible, animate and inanimate, known and as yet unknown, must derive from and abide within this Supreme ALL IN ALL Spirit Embodiment! Therefore, God must be within Himself the immaculate essence and substance, energy or life, which intelligently manifests itself through the inexorable and immutable laws of life and nature. You will recall the statement that God, the Original or Archetypal Pattern of the Universe, was divided into two distinct counterparts: 1) the visible; 2) the invisible. You will recall also that the visible counterpart of God, was separated into three parts: 1) abstract; 2) intermediate; 3) and concrete, by and through which all manifestations of His existence, omnipotence, and omnipresence throughout the material Universe are accomplished (see illustrations on p. 10-11 of the September/October 1993 "PLIM REPORT").
Can the three parts of Spirit be explained?
In the abstract part, God is PURE SPIRIT, without form and is called the Father. In the intermediate part, God takes on the incorporeal form, or the transmuted anthropomorphic state which is called the Word. And in the third part, the concrete, the direct physical manifestation is called the Holy Ghost.
I will further clarify these three parts. They can be likened in man to Spirit, which is the abstract part of man and cannot in any way be seen or measured or analyzed. The Soul, or intermediate state, can, to a limited degree, be analyzed and understood. And the Body or concrete part is physical, material, visible to the eye, and solid to the touch (I Thess 5:23). The Most Holy Place was the abstract or Pure Spirit Part witnessed by Peter, James, and John at the Transfiguration in a vision and revelation (Matt. 17:1-9). The Holy Place was comparable to the intermediate or incorporeal state. The Court Around About, the Intangible Sanctuary, can be likened to the physical or concrete form.
In future lessons we will discuss God, Christ or the Messiah, and Jesus Christ, and show that in comparable three part manner, God would be as the Pure Spirit form, Christ as the Incorporeal form, and Jesus as the physical manifestation or form.
Does evidence of the pattern exist in nature?
Now let us examine some of the evidence of the Pattern throughout nature and science. The prevalence of planned, systematic and inexorable order throughout nature could not have been haphazard, nor left to chance. If so there would be times and circumstances where objects would not react or respond in precisely the identical way to the previous results under these same conditions or stimuli. This invariable repetition and constancy of the laws of nature and physical force operates throughout the universe and science. They have been the same each time they were utilized and remained so from the beginning of cumulative scientific knowledge to the present and shall remain so as human culture moves on into the future. Scientists call this planned order in nature, Physical Laws. They have recognized and charted the laws and by their application have developed innumerable scientific achievements.
What causes the law of gravity and other physical laws to operate unerringly and consistently?
Consider the fantastic character of gravity! It holds people to the earth so that they will not step off into space and float endlessly in the earths atmosphere or in free space. Gravity makes objects fall down, never up or sideways. It makes planets circulate around the sun and causes the moon to rotate around the earth. By gravity alone, collisions of the earth, the sun, and the moon are prohibited.
Must not this have been created by a superior, a great, a Supreme Creator? Reflect about the function of centrifugal force which pulls objects away from the central point, counterbalanced by the centripetal force which draws bodies toward a central point. (NOTE: Almost every amusement park advertising a ride that spins the riders in a circular room while the floor drops away from their feet. The thrill of the ride is that no one falls. Each person appears stuck to the wall of the room while it spins. Centrifugal force is also applied in the spin cycle of your washer causing the clothes to stick to the sides of the washer while the water is being wrung out of the clothes. Finally, the same principle is applied when you swing a pail of water in a circle and the liquid does not spill out when the pail is upside down.) All of these gravitational forces are required to keep our earth and its inhabitants properly stabilized as the earth rotates around the sun and spins through the Universe on its axis.
In gravity there is no coincidence or chance. We can measure the gravitational pull of any body or mass. We can determine at what rate of speed an object will fall from a height above the earth to the earths surface and this speed will be without variation under identical, controlled conditions.
Do fundamental laws govern motion?
There are innumerable physical laws with which the reader will be familiar, others can be investigated in a standard Physics Textbook: Newtons Law, Pascals Law, Boyles Law and Bernoullis principle, are some of the most significant of these forces in our daily lives. NOTE: Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727), an English mathematician and natural philosopher, observed several laws of motion. The first law is the Law of Inertia which says objects at rest, or in motion, will remain at rest, or if already in motion, will remain in motion, until some external force acts upon them. In short, Newton discovered an innate reluctance in every object to change direction. The second law of motion concerns acceleration produced by a force acting upon a body. This law states that the larger the mass of the body, the greater the force required to move it. A greater force is needed to move the sun than the planet earth. Newtons third law of motion says for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This can be seen in the recoil of a gun once the bullet is discharged (see right illustration and "The Philosophical Measuring Rod," "Why must positive and negative work together?," p. 17).
Did other scientists discover additional laws that govern our existence?
In 1653 a French scientist, Blaise Pascal, observed that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid in all directions without loss. Any swimmer who has belly flopped after jumping from a diving board into a pool of water is keenly aware of this law. Robert Boyle (1627-1691), a British chemist and physicist, found that as the pressure on gas increases, its volume decreases or gas can be compressed. A cars engine applies this principle when the pistons compress the air and spark plugs cause an explosion which expands the air. Also Boyles law governs the principle of air expanding in a balloon as it is blown up. An 18th century Swiss mathematician, Daniel Bernoulli, discovered that as the speed of a moving fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases. This law can be seen in perfume atomizers, the carburetor principle, and in aspirator pumps. (Fundamental Concepts of Modern Physics, by Sheldon R. Diamond, AMSCO School Publications, Inc., p. 155)
How is Bernoullis discovery used today?
Think for a moment of the progress man has been able to make through Bernoullis principle, by its invariable, unchanging operation. Bernoullis principle is based on the condition that when a fluid or gas is in a state of motion, where the speed is great, the pressure will be small. This may seem rather insignificant upon superficial evaluation. However, a common application of this principle, familiar to everyone, is the ability of a baseball pitcher to throw a curve ball. In this same principle is the foundation for mans ability to master the sailing of boats, and the flight of airplanes.
Or, let us consider the consistency of sound. Sound is defined as a longitudinal wave, composed of speed or velocity, wave length and frequency. Yet, by the accurate, unerring principles which apply in all cases and all conditions, we have been able to create musical instruments. We have been able to learn about the wonders of radio, television and many other great inventions and discoveries of our present age. Is this not more proof than anyone should require, that our everyday existence is dependent on the infallibility, the never failing accuracy of these physical laws?
Can unerring Spirit Law be found in the plant, animal, and human realm?
These laws had to be created by an organized, precise, controlled, master force, or Godhead, exercising this unerring Spirit Law. You may think that in the plant, animal and human realms there is not such a clearly definable law. Yet in these areas of Gods creation also, we have consistent laws in operation.
Does all of nature operate in balance and harmony?
All of earth, as well as its inhabitants, is composed of what is commonly called the balance of nature. The first principle of plant, animal, and human survival is the law of adaptation. Plants, animals, even humans, must find environmental surroundings with which they can cope; or failing to do so, cease to exist, to propagate, and perpetuate their species. From the lowest order of plant life to the great order of man, there are in constant operation the processes of adaptation, succession, multiplication, and control of the physical forces of nature.
Why does upsetting the natural balance result in catastrophe?
Whenever any condition of imbalance occurs, immediately all other living organisms in nature are likewise thrown out of balance and react and respond accordingly. Some go on and become advanced mutations, others die out, others change, or others control the circumstances of their environmental conditions. So great is the balance of nature, so delicately delineated that the absence of woodpeckers in a forest area could result in the destruction and de-molition of the entire forest (see illustration on p. 18)! This catastrophe might result from the absence of woodpeckers, a natural pred-ator of some variety of beetle, enabling it to freely destroy the trees. Then when the trees were dead, the birds which had made their homes in the tree branches would have to seek other quarters. Also, the roots of the trees would wither or relinquish their hold upon the soil, resulting in erosion. Without the moisture which is normally captured by the leaves of the living trees and brought down to the root and soil area through photosynthesis, the character of the soil would degenerate and become inadequate to support its live occupants. Then the insect dwellers of the ground and all of the living organisms of the forest area would become extinct or have to migrate to other areas.
How do fish and birds obtain and maintain their incredible instinctive accuracy?
Consider one of the most incredible, instinctive accuracies in the world of nature the spawning of fish. Salmon will travel hundreds and hundreds of miles, blindly groping onward, with no knowledge of why; to reach their particular ancestral spawning stream. There, and there only, will they give birth to new generations of salmon.
Or consider the ornithological family. Who teaches the birds how to fly and sing? When, how, and where do they build suitable nests? Who teaches birds how to lay their eggs, hatch them, and properly care for their offspring? Or consider their distinctive accuracy of seasonal flight. Birds always seek food and climate adaptation without the intelligence and capability that man possesses. Man might read maps and books, consider meteorological reports and, utilize mechanical transportation.
Can it be denied that there must be planned, consistent, intelligent control? Only the infallible Spirit Law of Gods omnipotence could prevent confusion and errors from occurring throughout nature?
Do atoms and microscopic particles also operate consistently?
In the same manner, inanimate objects of our universe fulfill consistent roles. Matter consists of minute microscopic particles called atoms. As you know, atoms consist of three partsthe electron, the proton and the neutroncomparable to the three-part plan of the universe (see illustration on p. 11 of the September/October 1993 "PLIM REPORT.") When atoms combine into groups they are called molecules, and these molecules assemble in various combinations.
Why do atoms consistently combine into the 92 natural elements?
All the forms of matter known to science fall into a total of 92 types or categories, which we call elements. Think of this amazing infallibility! Whenever these invisible, microscopic atoms combine out of the millions of possible combinations, they never fail to combine into only one of 92 ways. By the laws of chance, they might combine into trillions of groups, but they do not! Not only that, but each time a group of atoms combine into a particular element, the element takes on the identical characteristics to every other time the same element was formed. The specific weight or gravitational pull of the matter will always be the same.
For example, if a mass of matter combines into iron or potassium or any one of the elements, the mass will always have the same identical characteristics per basic unit of combined components. These combinations of matter will act and react to the entire range of variant physical conditions without variation, in precisely the exact manner so that man has been able to discover and put to work the physical laws, or the laws of nature. Thus Man, made in the image of God, has been able to control the elements in the property of Gods Creation, the Physical Universe. When one contemplates any of the wondrous manifestations of the three-part Godhead (Father, Word, Holy Spirit, I John 5:7) in the realm of the Physical Universe, skepticism cannot remain.
Is mere 'coincidence' guiding the laws of nature?
Surely, if chance or coincidence were the guiding factor in the laws of nature, somewhere, sometime, a spring or a summer or a fall would fail to appear, or appear in the wrong order of season. The moon would surely become involved with the earth, or the sun, as they move through the stellar voids. Or sometimes, somewhere, a bird would hatch something other than a bird (Gen. 1:11-12). Or somewhere, the perfection of balance in nature would not be as finely drawn. Surely, no one can accept all of these immutable, inexorable, eternally consistent forces as unplanned, uncontrolled, created by happenstance, rather than by a Supreme intellect or Creator!
Does the physical makeup of man also verify Gods existence?
In the next lesson, it will be shown that Man was truly made in the image of God and that every component part of the physical structure of man has a meaning, a significance a PURPOSE. It will be shown that the number of bones in the human anatomy, the very way they are strung together, the various organs of the body all repeat, verify, and prove beyond a doubt that man can clearly see, come to KNOW, and UNDERSTAND God and His Eternal Purpose throughout every concrete manifestation in the physical Universe even in the physical body itself!
Does it not give you a Spiritual thrill to realize that the events of the world were revealed by God in the very structure and character of YOUR OWN physical body? Even the organs that medical science cannot clearly interpret or understand can be clearly explained and understood through a knowledge and awareness of the correlationship of the body to the Eternal Godhead! It is through esoteric knowledge and understanding that you can acquire the Keys to Gods Kingdom (Luke 11: 52) and the ability to utilize these keys to achieve Spiritual Elevation and Exaltation through ONENESS and COMMUNION with GOD AND HIS UNIVERSAL TRUTH!
