The True Millenium

The True Millenium

And they shall reign with Him a thousand years.

It may perhaps seem illogical to speak of the length of time during which the spiritual man remains in the first unity sphere, for, as we have said, the limitations of time are hardly felt by him, but the period as it would seem to you, or even to us, is about a thousand years. This is the true millennium spoken of by John, when that which is ready, ripe for transplanting into the new world, goes there, and the yet undeveloped remains dormant—is bound in chains and cast into the pit of oblivion. The seedlings of character that are sufficiently grown are transplanted into the new soil where they will grow with increased vigour, and the backward and weak ones are left for a while.

So the being at this stage may be likened to an ellipse, rather than a circle; an oblate spheroid like your earth, rather than a perfect sphere.

In the unity spheres, the very atmosphere is joy—sorrow is unknown—failure, doubt or disappointment—the life is like some mighty ocean whose waters are ever drawn towards the fount of life, and whose surface is untroubled by storms.

The evolution of such powers as are in motion goes on in an ever forward, upward course; of such a state the saying is most true—

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light upon them, nor any heat; for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them, and they shall reign forever and ever.

(The forever always refers to the particular state which is being spoken of and is here that long period which we have supposed to be about a thousand years).
