The White Stone of Revelation

Dr. M.W. Lewis

San Diego, 1-28-53

On the .mp3 file the organ plays a chorus “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve

Seen,” and an unknown baritone sings the first stanza.

Thank you. The subject this morning is: "The White Stone of Revelation,” “The

White Stone of Revelation.”

This is suggested by Revelation, the 2nd Chapter, the 17th and 28th Verses – 2nd

Chapter, the 17th and 28th Verses: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the

Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the

hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name

written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” [28th Verse] “And I

will give him the morning star.”

Now, throughout the Bible we see, or hear, or read, rather, references to stones:

“stones of fire1;” the “stone of various hue2;” “walking up and down in the midst

of the stones;3” the “one stone with seven eyes4.” Now these references refer to

the Spiritual Power accumulated at different places in our being – in our bodies –

such as the Centers of the spine, and, of course, the Medulla Center and the

Thousand-rayed Lotus of the brain. I remember the Master once said to me, we

were looking at a precious stone – you could see the rays coming out of it – and

he said, “That is the first manifestation of Spirit in the mineral kingdom.”

And so, throughout the Bible we have references to these various stones –

“stones of fire” – indicating that they refer to the locations in the body where the

Spiritual Energy, the Power of Christ Consciousness, is concentrated. The Seven

Centers of the spine; the greatest of which is the Thousand-rayed Lotus of the

brain.

In Ezekiel we read, in the 28th Chapter [14th Verse], words to this effect that

“…thou wast upon the holy mountain of God...” In other words we had that

of the New Temple of Jerusalem, as mentioned in Revelations A summary by J. Michael Howard 3 Ezekiel 28:14

consciousness. This is the holy mountain [Doctor indicates the top of your head].

We had that Consciousness. Then he goes on to say, “…thou didst [hast]

walk[ed] up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.” And that refers to the

Seven Centers, the Centers of the spine. And so, the Six Centers of the spine plus

the Thousand-rayed Lotus – those constitute the Regions where the Spiritual

Consciousness and Power is found.

Now, the greatest concentration of Christ Consciousness and Spiritual Power is

where? It is in the Medulla Center and the Thousand-rayed Lotus in the brain; in

the Medulla Center, and in the brain. And it can be perceived, because of its

great concentration, if we rise above outward consciousness, it can be perceived

at a point between the eyebrows. And there it is known as the White Stone –

“The White Stone of Revelation.” It is known as other things, I will come to

those shortly. But at this point, is this point is the concentration of the diffused

Christ Consciousness, which is the Power of God, the Consciousness of God,

throughout all creation. It is at this point, that it is concentrated. Just like you

take a magnifying glass and concentrate the Spirit, the rays of the sun into a

round scintillating, vibrating sphere. And so, the Christ Consciousness is

concentrated at this point [the Spiritual Eye between the eyebrows], and can be

perceived. And there it is known as “The White Stone” spoken of in Revelation.

Now, the Christ Consciousness diffused throughout creation, is the ordinary

Christ Consciousness. That, plus the White Stone, is the Christ without form. The

Christ with form, I will come to later. So remember, this White Stone, is the

Presence of God within you, in the greatest concentrated form. If you see the

Light of “The White Stone of Revelation,” it will be like a million candle power

lime5. If you’ll merge in that, you’ll have the Consciousness of God – Eternal

Consciousness.

Now, we have many references to these concentrations of energy in the body –

Spiritual things. I’ll just read one or two. In Revelation, the 2nd Chapter [18th

Verse], we read this, “…These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like

unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;” These references plus the

references of the “stones of fire,” “the White Stone,” stones, are all indigenous to

what – to Christ Consciousness. They all refer to Christ Consciousness. They all

refer to the Spiritual Presence of God within us as the Christ Consciousness, and

5 “…Someone suggested that some calcium oxide (lime) held in the candle flame might increase the amount of light

produced and thus improve the energy conversion. This method had been used back in the 1800s to boost the light from

gas powered lamps. The term “lime light” came from this technique…” CANDLE POWER, designed by David

Johnson, P.E.

they are perceived when? When we are Son’s of God – not until. When we have

lifted our consciousness from outward things, from worldly things, from

emotional things, into the Presence of Christ Consciousness, then we can

perceive them, because then we are Son’s of God. Then, we have made Christ

Consciousness dynamic to consciousness.

Going on; another reference in Revelation, the 22nd Chapter, the 4th and 5th Verses.

Here we read: “And they shall see his face;” they shall see his face, “and his

name shall be in their foreheads.” One time I was asking the Master about seeing

him in the Light. He said, “It’ll take some time,” he said, “But remember, I am

nothing compared to that Light which you see, which is God Himself.” And so,

that “White Stone of Revelation” is God Himself. Merge in that, be one with it.

And then it goes on to say in the 5th Verse: “And there shall be no night there…”

Merge in that. See that Light of Christ. Make it your own. It will always be lit.

It will never fail you. “And there shall be no night there; [and they need no

candle, neither light of the sun;] for the Lord God giveth them light; and they

shall reign for ever and for ever.” That’s the key. If we keep our consciousness

in outward things, worldly things, it passes away. If we keep tied up with the

emotions of the body, they pass away. But, if we perceive “the White Stone of

Revelation,” and merge in that; your consciousness will never pass away –

because that is Eternal.

When you dream at night you have various things in the dream, different

characters, all sorts of things go on. When you wake up in the morning, what’s

left? Just your consciousness, that’s all. That’s the reality. So, when you wake

up in the morning, and see “the White Stone of Revelation,” and all these

outward things of God’s dream melt, what is left? The One Eternal

Consciousness of God. And so it says in the scripture. And those who have that,

those who perceive “the White Stone of Revelation,” “…they shall reign for ever

and for ever.” Once get that, and that Consciousness will never leave you,

because that’s the Eternal Presence of God in you.

And one more reference; Revelations, 22nd Chapter, the 16th Verse; Jesus said, “I

Jesus have sent mine angel…” Whenever you see the word "angel" in the Bible,

it means the Ray of Spirit, the Ray of Light, the Light of Christ. So Jesus said, I

have sent this light “…to testify unto you these things in the churches.”

Now, that needs just a little explanation. If you read the 1st Chapter of

Revelation, I think it’s the 20th Verse6, it speaks about the churches. Now, the

Light of Christ is in the churches. But it doesn’t mean just “this” church. You

read further on and it says about the seven golden candlesticks. Those are the

Seven Centers of the spine. Then it says, and the churches are the candlesticks7.

So you see, the Light of Christ is perceived in the Centers of the spine plus the

White Stone. That’s where His Presence is. It also goes on to say, “…I am the

root and the offspring of David8...” David had the realization of Christ

Consciousness, the White Stone, and so that is the “offspring,” that is what we

must mix with. It also goes on further to say, “…the key of David9.” David had

the key. What is the key? Christ Consciousness. That’s the key that unlocks the

Seven Seals10. Only when we have Christ Consciousness can we perceive, and

know, and unlock the Seven Seals of the Centers of the spine, the greatest of

which is “the White Stone of Revelation.” It cannot be perceived by outward,

intellectual consciousness – by emotion – but only by merging in the Presence of

God within, as the Christ Consciousness – merging in the Holy Vibration. In that

is the Light of Christ. That’s the Reality. That’s what we must have to be saved

and to live eternally.

Now going on; “I am the root and offspring of David and the bright and morning

star.11” There again refers to the same thing: “The White Stone of Revelation;”

the bright and morning star.

Now going on; the characteristics of those who attain the Spiritual Consciousness

of the White Stone and the Centers of the spine are what? We read various

things in Revelation about that. A few are these: “…he who that holdeth the

seven stars in his right hand, and [who] walketh in the midst of the golden

candlesticks12.” When you become a Son of God, get out of this worldly

consciousness, merge in the Presence of Christ, you will have the power, and the

perception, and the realization of the Consciousness in the Seven Centers of the

spine, spoken of as the seven golden candlesticks. They are that color; and they

6 “The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks.

The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the

seven churches.” 7 Ibid.

10 Most particularly, Revelation Chapter 5.

12 Revelation 2:1

can be perceived. It goes on to say, he shall “…eat of the tree of life…13” The

“tree of life” is simply the spine and brain, with the Consciousness, the Spiritual

Consciousness therein. You shall have that when you realize the Light of Christ.

And they “…shall not be hurt of the second death.14” A minute ago I gave you

references “and they shall reign for ever and for ever.” How can you be hurt of a

second death once realizing the Light of Christ? You cannot.

And finally, the sharp sword, they shall realize “…the sharp sword with two

edges.15” That refers to the dual current in the Medulla Center perceived at this

point [between the eyebrows], in which is the Christ Consciousness. You will

perceive that. You will have the key of David. “Thus […These things] saith the

Amen.16” The “Amen” is the Holy Vibration within us, from which all things

have come. And in that Amen, in that Holy Vibration, which can be perceived as

“the White Stone of Revelation,” is the Christ Consciousness. The Christ

Consciousness without form.

Now going on; “The White Stone” is the Door; the Door to Christ Consciousness.

Even if you perceive it just as the speck in the beginning; stick to it, merge in it,

and it will expand until it is a brilliant White Stone, in which is all the Power of

the Master of the Universe. And when that expands further, into all Creation, it

is perceived as a Great Light – the Light of Christ. These are realities. And the

wonderful part is, if you follow the techniques of Self-Realization, given by one

who knew the White Stone, who is the White Stone now, who is that Light;

follow him, and you will have that perception. Because you have the techniques

whereby you can contact God, and contact Christ.

In the Bible it says, “…behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man

can shut it:17” In other words, it cannot be perceived, except, when you get above

worldly consciousness. Once having it, no worldly consciousness of man, or

anyone, can take it away. It is yours, forever, and forever, if you keep it, and

merge in it, and become one with it.

This White Stone is the Door to Christ Consciousness. It is spoken of many other

ways, as “the Star of Bethlehem.” At that particular time there was no

extraordinary phenomena, astronomical phenomena, in the heavens. No. The

Light of Christ burned brightly. The White Stone burned brightly, because at

that time, there was great Spiritual influx in the world, because Jesus, an

Incarnation of God, was to be born. That’s what the wise men followed. They

perceived the White Stone; merged in it; in that is the Consciousness of the

Master of the Universe. Of course, they knew and could find Jesus. It is also

known as “the White Star,” or “the Star of Intuition.” This is the Star, which led

the children of Israel “as a pillar, as a cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by

night.18” It is nothing but the White Stone of Revelation. Merge in that, and you

will be led – not by man, and outward consciousness, and worldly emotions –

but by the Consciousness of God, and Christ.

Going on now; Jesus referred to the White Stone of Revelation. He referred to it

many times in the Bible. I have two references. The first is St. John, the 4th

Chapter, 35th Verse, when Jesus said, he said – the harvest is ready now, you

don’t have to wait four months at all, the fields are white, ready for you to

harvest19. What is the result? What is the reward? Fruit unto eternal life.20 Jesus

referred there, of course, to the White Stone spoken of in Revelation. It is white.

He spoke about it as “the fields are white.” The Light of Christ is white; flowing

and merging in everything, and concentrated at this point [the Spiritual Eye], as

the White Stone.

He also said in Matthew, the 37th, the 9th Chapter, the 37th Verse, he said this

about the White Stone: “…The harvest is [truly] plenteous,” – it is there – “but

the laborers are few.” Few will give the time. Few will give even an hour a day

to follow the techniques of Self-Realization, given by the Master, who is that

White Stone now, who has merged in it. And, if you merge in it, you will feel

him. Few give the time; even an hour a day. To reap what? To reap the reward

of eternal life. We must wake up in ‘53 and do that. Follow the Master. That’s

why he came. That’s why he sacrificed for you, and for me. Let us do this in ‘53.

Now, the White Stone is the concentrated manifestation of Christ. When people

gather together, sincerely, as we did on Tuesday in the hermitage – I know you

gathered here – there the White Stone of Revelation was perceivable. Because,

[when] people gather together, Spiritual Consciousness is there; it is easy to

perceive it. And so, just as when Jesus was born, the wise men knew, because

18 Exodus 13:21,22

19 “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your

eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” 20 St. John 4:36 “And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gatherest fruit unto life eternal: that both he that

soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.”

Page 7: The White Stone of Revelation - Yyoga Intro · The White Stone of Revelation Dr. M.W. Lewis ... or read, rather, references to stones: “stones of ... 2

there was a great Spiritual influx of Power. So, when sincere people gather

together – just like in this church here – you can, if you will, and really want God

and God alone, you can perceive, and see beyond question of a doubt, the White

Stone spoken of in Revelation.

Now, in conclusion, when shall we see this White Stone? That’s what we all

want to know. When shall we see this White Stone of Revelation? You shall see

the White Stone of Revelation when you become a Son of God. Now, what is a

Son of God? One who realizes his oneness with God, or realizes God alone. As

long as there is any vestige of outward consciousness – worldly consciousness,

emotional consciousness – you cannot perceive the White Stone, because you are

not there yet – a child of God, a true Son of God. A Son of God is one who has

risen above outward consciousness and perceives – not subject and object – but

Subject alone: God alone. Then we can perceive the White Stone of Revelation.

We have also we have the answer, also, in Matthew, the 24th Chapter, 29th and

30th Verses. And this is most beautiful. It says, “…after the tribulation of those

days shall…we see…21,” and I add, the White Stone.

What are tribulations? Tribulations come, because we are in outward

consciousness. That’s all. We are in the consciousness of duality. We are in the

consciousness of change. And as long as we stay there, we will have tribulation.

Now, when we rise above the consciousness of outward things, worldly things,

emotional things, then we perceive God alone. But we must not have, we cannot

have any vestige of outward consciousness to perceive God alone. We must rise

above those things; then the tribulations will be over; and not until then.

And so the scripture says, “…after the tribulations of those days…,” then we can

perceive the White Stone of Revelation. Then it goes on to say, because “…then

shall there appear the sign in the heaven…” What is the sign? This is the region

of heaven; the frontal region here [Doctor points to the forehead to the point

between the eyebrows]. You can’t perceive God any other place. “Now in that

region of heaven will come the sign...” The sign of what? The sign of the coming

of Christ Consciousness – and that is the White Stone.

21 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give

her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heaven shall be shaken;

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,

and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”

Page 8: The White Stone of Revelation - Yyoga Intro · The White Stone of Revelation Dr. M.W. Lewis ... or read, rather, references to stones: “stones of ... 2

And going on; “…and they shall see…” – this is important, now – “…and they

shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds in heaven with power and great

glory.” Remember, this is the region of heaven. “…they shall see…coming in

the clouds…” the White Stone of heaven then forms clouds. We sing in our

meditation on Christmas, “cloud-colored Christ come, cloud-colored Christ

come.” The White Light of the White Stone forms into clouds. And what

appears? Then, the vision of Christ comes. It does not say the Son of God comes.

It says, “…and then we shall see the Son of man.” And who is the Son of man?

It is the likeness of Jesus.

And so, you can see there, in “the White Stone of Revelation,” will appear the

vision of Jesus. Now, that is the Christ with form. Saint Teresa said she didn’t

see the Christ with form. But she felt the diffused Presence of the Light of Christ.

The White Stone, she perceived. But, she said, it was better than as if Christ

stood beside her. ‘Cause that’s the Whole, but in that, can come the vision of

Christ as the Son of man, as he was in his Incarnation as Jesus. And so, can come

any of the liberated masters; including our own beloved Masters.

And so, you can see the importance of this thing. We must, somehow, through

our own efforts, through the intercession of the beloved Master, and by the Grace

of God, we must, somehow, contact, and know this White Stone of Revelation.

And what is the reward? The reward is to reign eternally, in the Presence of the

Divine Love of God within us. That is the White Stone of Revelation, that is the

Star of the East, the Star of Bethlehem, the Star of Intuition. That is the Presence

of God within us. Let us all, in 1953, somehow, by our own efforts, and the

Grace of God, be one with this White Stone of Revelation.
