MORE ABOUT THE INTERNAL CLOCK IN HUMANITY
By William Samuel
A marvelous new Event is about to begin for mankind, if it hasn't
already. That Event will be, in part, the "discovery" of another
force in nature, the edge of a greater dimension that, when
understood, will put everything relative to life, space, time,
matter and our human society into new and unexpected perspective.
Our physical sciences stand at the edge of this discovery
already-and where science stands presently, mankind is sure to
follow because the world trusts its pragmatic powers. This Event
has already broken through to touch individuals here and there. Its
power and new dimension have been quietly proven and put to work in
the world. Science will shortly confirm this, but lo, human
sciences, by their very nature, will be unable to show us how to use
this inner Event. Science gave us nuclear power but was unable to
prevent our destructive use of it.
Well now. This is the sort of finding of a greater dimension one
would have expected to emerge from the ongoing religions, from the
new metaphysicians or the avant garde. Rather, it will come from the
particle physicist, the mathematician, the astronomer, the new
cosmologist and the childlike dreamer-precisely for the reason that
their thinking is ongoing and not so bound by the creeds, dogmas and
solidified interpretations of scriptures which bind the Hindu, the
priest, the Zen student, the rabbi, metaphysician and minister-and,
especially, the ordinary churchman.
The two dimensional caterpillar is just one dimension away-one
internal effort of its own-from another stage in its own
development. When it emerges from its inner writhing within the
cocoon, it has entered the next dimension of its affairs and, lo,
the old order of blindness has passed away. The caterpillar has
become sighted and everything around him is amazing and wonderful to
his new eyes. Limited before to the strides a caterpillar can make
with its little legs, now the new creature-butterfly-has wings to
fly through fields undreamt before.
Similarly, the cicada, living in the darkness of the earth for most
of its life, feeding on the roots of trees, begins to feel a
stirring within himself which is so dramatic it causes him to let go
the familiar source of food and begin pushing against the black
earth surrounding him. Like the caterpillar, he wriggles and writhes
his way into another dimension of light, color, expanded dimensions
and new freedom.
Consider the remarkable clock that brings the cicada to do this.
Some of these creatures are on a seventeen-year cycle. Here in
Alabama they go from alpha to omega in thirteen years. After that
long span in the blackness of the earth, something within them
causes a stirring, so accurately timed that the bug emerges at
precisely the moment necessary to evade his foe and survive-like a
quartz clock of solar precision fashioned by an angel physicist. The
clock waits thirteen years, seventeen years, and suddenly clicks on
at precisely the right moment in time.
Well, just such a clock has been switched on in quantum mankind.
Friend-reader, there is another entire dimension of existence for
each of us and it is just an instant away-a minute internal
"awakening" away. That dimension has already begun to call our
attention to itself, whether we want it so or not. Men here and
there are beginning to act differently. The attuned eye can see it.
The sensitive heart can feel it. There are many in the world who
know intuitively and undeniably that something spectacular is
already happening-and they are right. It happened to me more than
forty years ago, though I didn't know just what it was then-and
twenty years were to pass before I really knew what it was. It
changed my life in a most marvelous way, and since that time I have
been made aware that nearly identical experiences have happened to
hundreds more.
THE CLOCK IN QUANTUM MAN
An inner Light tells me that people have clocks within them as
certainly as the rest of the creatures in nature. We know something
of this already. Puberty kicks in at a certain stage, then the
mating and homing urges, et al, throughout our human span. But,
listen, listen, something new and marvelous is presently happening
to QUANTUM MANKIND. A new, worldwide "urge" has begun. To this time
in time, only a few have been made fully aware of this mystifying
insight. A strange new disquiet and discontent. New urgings that
have no rational explanation because they have never been felt by
mankind at large, nor written of in words easily understood. We are
seeing signs of this Divine Clock already in the bizarre behavior of
this group and that. We've been blaming "civilization" or television
or something else for the strange twists and turns mankind has begun
to perform internally and respond to externally. Recently we have
taken to calling it anxiety, stress, informational overload and so
forth. Something deeper is on the edge of exploding. The Divine
Discontent that some of us have struggled with all our lives is soon
to stir all humanity, bewildering all but those who know what it is
and what is happening. Those who know are those who have had early
access to these urgings and have responded in small ways.
THE CENTURY PLANT ILLUSTRATION
Imagine a plant that has lived in the desert for nearly a century,
then finally prepares to bloom, seed and die-its seed to begin
another century of time. Imagine, also, that this plant has a
winter's rest each year and new growth each spring-and has been
doing this for ninety-nine years. Then, via a clock that has been
inside that plant from the very seed it sprang from, it slowly-or
suddenly-begins the epic event. It starts to grow a stem and a bud
thereon.
Can you imagine how the fragmented plant must be self-shaken by all
this strange, new happening, so unaccustomed it is to blooming? The
roots must wonder where they are supposed to send their nutrition
NOW. The limbs wonder where the new growth is going-and why. The
roots and leaves all send their substance into the new growth and
finally to the flower itself. The leaves must complain that they are
not receiving from the roots as before and the roots must wonder why
the leaves are not giving to them as they have for ninety-nine
years. "Tradition is being destroyed! We must stop this foolishness
and return to the old values!" This preparation of the bud is a
shakingly new activity that embraces the plant now. The inner clock,
dormant for ninety-nine years, has sprung into action and the
century plant finally blooms, to seed and expire.
The real bloom, for which the plant was originally intended, forms,
blooms and carries the plant's essences and imprints into its
seed-self. All the other spring "bloomings," the other cycles, the
other events through the ninety-nine years have become as nothing
compared to this final great blossoming which has been the purpose
of the plant from the beginning-to prepare its seed for another
field.
What has happened for some of us individually is soon to happen for
all mankind. There are two views we mortals contain-the individual
view and the quantum overview; the man-with-a-name's view and the
holistic view. From the standpoint of a View I have been blessed to
live, I see clear indication that a new world clock has been turned
on in the SPECIES-in Quantum Man, exactly as God turned it on in
what appears the individual "me" forty years ago. Just as the
century plant makes a final flowering at the end of its span, so the
Tree of Life-appearing as humanity-is soon to begin a strange
behavior from an unrelenting inner urge that will result, after much
internal and external turmoil without precedent, in a New Bloom, a
New Community. This divine stirring, different from all that has
gone before in this pulse of events for eleven thousand years, will
bring mankind to re-examine his values; rethink his ideas and
beliefs; retest his religions and philosophies, his governments and
systems, and find them woefully inadequate; thence to turn within
himself into a subjective view of Life, to discover the very Essence
of Self-within-the Child of God.
These events, already begun, will become quantum-every man alive
feeling and responding, flailing positively or negatively,
responding in all ways, unable to find respite in the former things.
THE INNER CLOCK AND WORLD TRAVAIL
The world has begun the travail that ends in the birth of the Child
within-Messiah, Redeemer, Savior!-closer than breathing, closer than
fingers and toes, not far off but here all the while. What is more,
we will see THEN that this Event, the "birthing," has every bit,
each step of the way, been foreseen by the lights and prophets.
Eastern and Western, above and below, first and last, male and
female. More, all of this will be WONDERFUL-precisely what has been
called for from the beginning-naught but GOOD going on-the REBIRTH
of the Original Image of Godhead.
While all of us suspect there is more to life than the human scene,
a universal recognition is sure to come that INDEED there IS
Something Else-another dimension spread over the human experience.
As we said, it is likely that science will confirm it first.
How do I know these things are true? I was shown all of this wonder
forty years ago at the pond and didn't believe a bit of it-no
way!-but, in the years since, having been faithful to the Vision,
having been tested by it and forced to live it, its veracity PROVEN
line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little;
and having found confirmation for every Glimpse given, and having
LIVED the Quantum of Mind as Awareness confirmed-and tested by
THAT-I have been told these many years later to WRITE my findings to
my inner Selfhood and "prepare the way" for the Child's rebirthing
and reappearance in "the world" I have done that as best I could.
By the time this book is published, the "quantum appearing" of the
divine discontent will have kicked in for the world-at-large. Not
bad, but GOOD happening. The Child, the "Children of God" will
survive.
