For decades culture has blurred the lines between men and women, all in the name of equality. Yet instead of creating harmony, this approach has caused frustration and confusion, leaving families broken and hurting. Divine Design draws reader back to God’s intention for men and women, and tackles big issues such as authority in marriage, mothers in the home, and the innate differences between males and females. Readers will discover how embracing their unique design can foster security, balance, and love in a marriage and family.

Frankly, when I downloaded this book I was expecting a book about gender differences from a biblical standpoint to shed light on the chaos of modern "gender free" culture. The opening lines, “The fact that men and women are different by design is no surprise to those who are committed to reality,” seemed to tell me I was heading the right direction. But the entire book ended up being about male headship/female submission. I have no problem with discussing these issues from a biblical viewpoint, but they were not what I was expecting.

You’ve got to hand it to MacArthur for tackling every difficult passage on male and female roles (Proverbs 31, Ephesians 5, Titus 2, 1 Peter 3, etc.). His very traditional views are hard for most modern women to hear since they (myself included) have been conditioned to feminist thinking in many areas. I agree with him that many women have put self-fulfillment outside the home above being faithful keepers of the home, but still found his cut-and-dry judgments to be irksome at times.

While mostly writing about marriage, MacArthur also addresses widowhood, singleness and women in ministry.

One quote: “Man’s authority over woman is delegated to him by God to be used for His purposes and in His way. As a fellow creature, man has no innate superiority to woman and has no right to use his authority tyrannically or selfishly. Male chauvinism is no more biblical than feminism. Both are perversions of God’s plan.” (p. 54) (less)

This was recommended to me by my pastor because I have recently been raising questions about the roles of women. It's a strong exposition of scripture, mainly 2 Timothy. I was affirmed in my decision to stay home with my children and challenged to value the impact I have in supporting my husband and investing in my kids.

Not my favorite. I felt like this book should have been title "all the do's and don'ts of women in Christianity." Too dogmatic for my tastes. He also wasn't super consistent in his views on women in the home.... Lots of scripture quoted which I can use to look up later, but I didn't really like the tone of this book... But maybe I'm just a touchy feminist.

This book is less about “complimentary roles between men and women” and more about how apparently women today don’t follow the gospel by having day jobs. Pretty disappointed in MacArthurs writing style here. As someone who hopes to maintain a work-life balance that can better allow my wife to not need a job, I feel he spends too much time being critical on women who choose to work and “desire more independence” without examining how this has come about from a social or economic level. It just comes off like he’s promoting rule following instead of Christ seeking.

Secondly, he doesn’t address men and their role in any sort of similar fashion. As if men somehow follow their calling exactly as its written without any mistakes with a primary focus on task instead of heart. We can use and manipulate our roles for selfish reasons, yet this is barely touched on.

At no point did I feel like this book helped me understand the roles of my wife and I to genuinely love Christ first before serving one another.

Not worth your time. Go read Chandler or Keller instead. (less)

Did I just criticize John MacArthur?

Meh
The chapter on singleness made it sound like having a spouse gets in the way of serving the Lord -- rather than focusing on the unique ministry of singles (especially in a world that regards chastity as inhumane), the author focused on the negatives of marriage. But I watch my momma make every word, thought, gesture, and feeling captive to the obedience of Christ, while I struggle to work for God and not for man as a single person (before I was ever in a relationship).
Also, instead of the negatives of feminism, how are the beauties of God's design so blinding so as to show how ugly feminism has been from the beginning? Pointing upwards would make better evangelism.
The first half was helpful. The section on the Proverbs 31 woman was exhausting. How do I become this woman? Mere sleep deprivation won't make me like her. His exegesis on deaconesses was interesting.
CS Lewis' That Hideous Strength, Keller's The Meaning of Marriage, and Gary Thomas' Sacred Marriage make a far more convincing case for the beauty of God's design for men and women. (less)

As always, MacArthur brings a STRONG exposition of scripture and backs up everything that is said in the book win scriptures that aren't taken out of context but rather have been taken back to their original roots and meanings. There is no possibility of misunderstanding the intent of the Bible when discussing male/female roles after reading this book. MacArthur's Biblical stance is always the same and one hat I admire: one may not LIKE what it says, but that doesn't make it less true or one ...more

Shelves: biblical-teachings, marriage
I have very mixed feelings about this book. First, I struggle with John MacArthur and his style. He just has a tone of legalism and harshness that I don't find winning. Things are one way only and if you don't see it that way you are sinning. I think he could convince more people if he had a more winsome tone. On the other hand, he did say some things I agree with, so it's not that I hate everything he said.
I do think that he sees marriage as looking one way only: you must home school, Mom must stay at home, and if Dad isn't the main bread winner he's not doing his job. In my family, raised by very godly people, my parents were very much a team. They both worked outside the home, they both worked on chores in the home (my dad was just as likely to cook supper as my mom), they talked through every major decision together, they both gave 100% to their marriage, and they both deeply loved and respected each other. John and I are pretty much the same way. And I don't feel that a Team approach to marriage is not biblical. I think that is what God intended when he gave Eve to Adam.
Yes, it's true that Eve sinned and a tension of leadership/submission was introduced. Pain in childbirth entered the arena and work became a struggle and a toil. But just as it is not wrong to use methods in childbirth to reduce pain or methods in the work place to reduce the struggle to work, I don't think it's wrong to work in marriage to restore the Team Relationship.
I think that MacArthur also thinks that adultery happens because women in the church are not dressing modestly. One could almost believe that only immodest people have affairs. And maybe he didn't mean to make it sound like it's usually the woman's fault, but that's how it sounded to me.
I do agree that men and women aren't the same and there is no reason to try to force us to be each other. We just never will be and we are happier when we accept our differences. (less)

Using Nature as Divine Design Inspiration

Nature never fails to produce something new and interesting. Connecting it with your craft yields inspired solutions.

BY JOE DUFFY

We’ve probably all experienced that day in our childhood, lying on the front lawn, when the clouds overhead reminded us of something–a dancing elephant, Ben Franklin’s profile, or that ’52 Packard.

For many, finding form and function inspired by nature has played a significant role in creating brilliant design. For me, nature is at the heart and soul of nearly everything I do and create, and it often provides metaphors that have led to solutions that have subtle impact.

Several years ago, I was working on a project from hell in Paris and had just left yet another depressing meeting. I was walking down a boulevard back to my hotel when I happened upon some picture perfect leaves lying on the sidewalk. Call it divine inspiration or just a vision amidst a desperate need to be cheered up, but those leaves reminded me immediately of my kids. I still can’t precisely put my finger on it. I guess it had to do with how the seasons relate to generations–maybe a family tree? Something about those beautiful leaves triggered a connection that was powerful.

I picked up an assortment and brought them home. I knew they were to become an artistic element in the portraits I had been painting of my daughter, Bridget, and my son, Joseph. I love the textures they created and the unspoken layers of meaning they provided. To this day, I continue to design many portraits with elements from nature; these elements suggest the many dimensions and characteristics of my subjects.

To me, there’s nothing like a hike, run, ski, or ride through the woods to inspire new design ideas. I go outside to be inspired. It’s some of the most enjoyable “research” I can take part in, it’s literally good for my heart, and it always inspires and fills my soul. Nature never fails to produce something new and interesting. Connecting my love for nature and for being outdoors with my craft keeps me content, fulfilled, and grounded.

For this reason, one of my design heroes is Andy Goldsworthy; his work creating design in nature is nothing less than breathtaking. If you haven’t seen this, do go out and rent it. Better yet, buy it.

Last weekend I was hiking through the woods in Northern Wisconsin and I happened upon nature in a way I had never seen it before. This happens more often than you might think. The rhythms of the elements and how they interact to create totally new visual inspiration are constantly changing and playing tricks with my expectations. It’s why I have to constantly get out and see what Mother Nature’s cooked up for my hungry brain.

At any rate, this time out I was treated to a totally new natural color spectrum. It had snowed the night before, just enough to create this random patterning with the autumn leaves that were at peak color both in the trees and along the forest floor. I had never seen autumn colors so vivid before because I had never seen them mixed with a stunning, sun-lit, super sharp white before. I snapped a few quick pics that don’t do the scene justice and got back to the studio and started mixing paint–divine inspiration!

Lastly, I’ve selected a few designs–a few of ours, but mostly from others–and the imagery of nature that I suspect served as divine inspiration.

Enjoy…and get out there, be inspired!

The Divine Design

“But the very hairs on your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”

Luke 12:7

It takes a lot of arguments, facts and logical conclusions to convince modern people that there is a Divine Design, which gives direction to human life through certain laws. All thoughts, desires and actions are defined by certain laws. Sometimes, we incorrectly interpret the things that happen in life, which are strange to us. As a result of this, and as time and generations pass by, we have formed the strange philosophy that everything in the world is supposedly random, i.e. that there is supposedly no law and order, that the power belongs to the strong, the smart, the cunning, etc. Do I need to prove to you that this is a great delusion?

When we look at Christ’s life, we can see that Christ always paid attention to the small things. He told his disciples straight away: “Don’t worry, your life is secured,” and as an example, he says that out of five sparrows not a single one will fall to the ground without the will of the Father. Why did Christ use the number five and why did he not take one sparrow as an example? There is a law in place here, the law of the number five, and everyone who is under this law will not fall without the will of the Father. With the second comparison, Christ tells us: “You are provided for, the hairs on your head are all numbered,” and stops at that. We may think to ourselves, “Of what importance is it that our hairs are all numbered?” The fact is that if God has counted these hairs, if He keeps their number in his account, then they must be of some importance. Do you know how many hairs there are on the human head? Many have counted them to find out that some people have two hundred and fifty thousand, others have three hundred and twenty thousand hairs, and God keeps a count of all these hairs, much like a farmer keeps a count of his fruit trees by putting a number on each tree. We may pluck out a hair from our head and throw it away but this hair serves a purpose and it plays a very important role on our head.

If I now start talking about the meaning of hairs, I will get distracted from my topic, so I will go back to the example with the sparrows, instead. This comparison implies that our spiritual life is protected by the Divine Design. In turn, the comparison with the hairs on the head implies that our physical life, too, is protected by the same Divine Design. It is necessary that deep inside we build faith in this Design, because only when we believe in it, can we evolve correctly. Every suspicion, which penetrates our minds and hearts, that there is no Design in the world takes us away from the correct understanding of the order of things and makes us try and create another order and other rules that reflect our own views. When a man and a woman get married, they think that God has given them power over each other. The man says, “You lived a certain way in your mother’s home but now you will live under new laws in my house. I am a little touchy and I take offence easily, so watch out because if you insult me, I will apply this strict law.” The woman, in turn, says to her husband, ”I am very sensitive and delicate; I was not brought up to work, so do not make me do difficult chores. If you break this law, the situation will change right away.” As you can see, all people make up a set of their own laws, but what happens eventually is that the man and the wife end up fighting. Why? Because the position they take is false in its very foundation, for the truly good marriage is not something that was tied on Earth.

There are three kinds of marriages: one kind that is made in Heaven, another that is made on Earth and the third that is made in hell; one kind is made by God, another is made by people and the third is made by the devil. When one enters into a marriage arranged by God, it will bring Love, Peace and Joy into one’s home. There will always be understanding between the husband and the wife, they will never exchange a single bad word and will live a blissful life together. When a marriage is put together by people, it will be such that one will be able to perfect oneself through it. There will be conflict between the husband and wife, they will be grating on each other, which will help them smooth out the rough edges of their character, just as in the proverb which says that two sharp stones cannot grind wheat together. Such marriage is not a Divine work, but human, and as such, the work will only be as good as human thinking is. When God starts doing something, He, being all-wise, plans everything well. When people take care of things, they arrange them in such a manner that there is always conflict, there is always “grating” that helps the self-perfection, it helps people smooth out their character. However, when the marriage is arranged by the devil, there will surely be discord, lechery and all those bad things. In a home where people live like that, their marriage was arranged by the devil. Therefore, give each thing its precise definition and do not take God’s deeds for human deeds, nor for the devil’s deeds.

In order for us to think correctly and logically, we need to understand the source of things. If there is anything useful in modern science at all, it is that they have determined that certain laws exist in the world, which regulates the relationships between things, elements and bodies. There are clearly defined laws of physics, chemistry, of the human soul, and these laws regulate the relationships between things; no one can break these laws without suffering the consequences in one way or another. So, three kinds of people exist: one that understands things in a Divine way, another that understands things in a human way and a third that understands things in a devilish way. The first situation is when we understand things the way they are predestined by God from the beginning of time. The second is when one thinks that God does not have a hand in all matters; therefore, we need to interfere in order to straighten things out. For example, when God does something we say, “God couldn’t finish this, let us correct it.” The third situation is when one wants to become God oneself. Thousands of years ago, people used to perceive things Divinely, but in their fall they lost this understanding. When you are in a good mood, you, too, believe in God deep in your soul. If things are going well for you, you say, “Thank God, our Lord is taking care of us,” but as soon as some misfortune befalls you, you say, “God has forsaken us.” But on what grounds do you claim that God has forsaken you, and that He is the reason for your suffering? God says, “Because you have forgotten Me, I will forget about you, too.” If you distance yourselves from Him, He will distance Himself from you. Some think that God, who is unchangeable, and constant in His Love will have to follow them when they start distancing themselves from Him and that He will have to cry like a mother after her child, “Wait, my son, do not walk away from Me.” No, God stays in His place and when you say, “God has distanced Himself from me,” I take it to mean that you have distanced yourselves from Him, and not He from you. Some people travel around God on a correct path, with little variation; sometimes their path swerves a little away from Him, but then it winds back towards Him, just like the path of the Earth around the Sun. Others, however, move along a path like that of a stray comet - at times it moves too close to the Sun, then it stays away from it for centuries. The same way you, too, when you move away from God, say, “God has forgotten us.” Well, I am telling you this, in seventy-five years when you go near Him again, just like Haley’s Comet, then God will remember you again. It all depends on the orbit on which you travel around God - when your path nears Him, He will remember you again.

Now, all of you are moving along a certain path but not all of you can understand me equally. Why is that? Because you do not all move within the same orbit. I am not judging you; I am considering these things objectively, philosophically. “This is our path,” you may object. Well, the question is if your path was meant to be this way or if it was you who made it this way. I am telling you that your path was not meant to be this way. For example, between Sofia and Varna there are train tracks that break all the time, and require great expense to be repaired. Did God make these tracks? If he had made them, they would have been built very wisely, but it is because people made them that they were made in such an imperfect way. If you follow the laws of the Divine design, then when you build the train tracks no accidents will ever happen. However, the technicians’ understanding of the needs of construction is better than the Christian believers’ understanding of Life. The former ones say, “We need to do very precise mathematical calculations of the kinds of turns and slopes the train will take on its way, so that we can regulate the force of movement. If we don’t do this, there will be an accident.” The Christians, on the other hand, think to themselves; “God is good, He takes care of us, so whatever slope we may take, it won’t matter.” And when the car turns over they say, “Our things are not going well.” Of course your things are not going well, because when considering the turns of the train tracks, you have not taken into account the law of the Divine Design. Therefore, in some cases the spiritual people may need to learn from the worldly people; you may need to be their pupils. It is not embarrassing to be a pupil. And then, when it comes to the spiritual matters that are unfamiliar to the worldly people, they will become your pupils. You cannot be teachers in all matters of life - sometimes you will be teachers, other times you will be pupils.

The Divine Design has strictly defined all things and phenomena - there is nothing accidental. All events from whatever character they may be - physical, mental or social - are governed and ruled by one Supreme Being, which watches over their development. Just like there is an engine driver who watches over the train engine because the lives of the passengers depend on him, the same way our Earth, which travels in space, has its own driver who sometimes puts more coal in the engine, and at other times less. The path of the Earth has certain curves and bends; therefore, the Earth sometimes moves closer to a bigger planet that affects the Earth in a certain way. However, as these things are a little far-fetched, you will need to study them in the future in order to understand them.

Now I want to go back to the Divine Design and, since it is important for you to understand it, I will use a story as an example. You can take this story as a prehistoric legend because the events that are described in it are fantastic and allegorical. Some people date this story back to Solomon’s time, but the things that are mentioned in the story relate to a much earlier time in history. They say that once upon a time there was a very learned and wise king who could speak the language of all animals. He used to gather all the animals each year and at these gatherings he would teach them and preach to them, and at the end, he used to conclude all his speeches with the following words, “What God has done no one can undo.” At one of these gatherings, there were two big eagles called rockas. One of them said, “I can undo what God has done.” The king said, “Very well, prove this with facts,” and dismissed the gathering. In that same year the daughter of another king was getting married to a prince. After they got married they were walking back from the temple, rejoicing with each other, when one of the eagles swooped down, picked up the bride, took her to a far-away island, and dropped her into its nest in a big tree. The groom was left alone without his companion; he became desperate and set out to travel. He boarded a ship that was wrecked a few months later. The waves then washed the desperate traveller onto the same island on which his bride was taken to. Not knowing this, he started complaining to God, “Oh, Lord, was it not enough of a misfortune to lose my wife and now I am washed onto this deserted island. I wish I’d never been born.” His wife, who was in the nest on top of the same tree, heard a man cry and climbed down to see who it was. When she saw that it was her husband, she hid him in the nest. When the time came for the next gathering of all animals, the two eagles picked up the nest with the bride in it and took it to the gathering. The king talked again, and at the end he finished his talk with the usual words, “What God has done, no one can undo.” Then the eagle spoke up again, “I undid one of God’s deeds.” “Prove it,” the king told him. When the eagle told the story of the wedding, the king asked to see the bride. When the eagle called for the bride to step out of the nest, the groom appeared alongside her. When the eagle saw that he could not undo what God had done, he exploded with anger.

You should take the eagle as a symbol of the human mind. Sometimes we say that we can undo what God has done, and that we can change the form of things, but in the end, things happen the way they were designed by God to happen and we, like the proud eagle, explode in our anger.

The modern teachers teach at every step, “Be smart, stupidity does not make the world go round.” I say instead, be thankful for the stupid ones. It is because of them that God is still keeping the world. There are no smarter spirits than the devils in the world. Have you been in their kingdom to see how they live? You talk about human intelligence, but if you descend to these fallen spirits, you will find concepts of physics, of chemistry, and of spiritual manifestations; you will find a lot of knowledge on how to lie, cheat, and do so many things, but their knowledge cannot bring order and harmony because it is not based on those elements that can solidify Life. Knowledge needs to be solidified through Divine Love. Therefore, when someone talks about knowledge and facts, I ask, “Do you have concrete to solidify these things?” If you have concrete, you truly do have Divine knowledge, but if all you have is bare facts and no cement for them, they cannot be of any service. I am asking you, if you gather two hundred thousand or a million strands of sheep wool, but do not know how to tie them together, what good will they be for you? Only when you spin them and weave them together in a certain way will you be able to make clothes to dress yourself with. According to the same law, when we can solidify our thoughts and desires through this Divine cement, the Divine Design, only then will we be able to make a dress to cover our internal nakedness. Therefore, we need this Design in order to live and evolve.

That is why Christ says, “Do not fear,” and asks why the five sparrows do not fall. You use the number five in other ways, too: five senses, five fingers, etc. It is an emblem of human beings on Earth. The number five represents the human being - the wise, thinking person - and says that this wise person will not fall as long as he does not err. If you are wise and fulfil God’s Will, you will not fall. However, the day when you err, God will let one of these sparrows fall to the ground, and when it falls down, the hairs on your head will start falling off, too, which means that your life will start falling apart.

So, always keep in mind that the Divine Design will take care of you for as long as you move unswervingly along the path of its laws. If you move away, your life will start falling apart. If you want to start evolving again, you will need to turn once again towards the Sun of this Design.

Emissaries of Divine Light (Updated Mar 14 2020)

The Emissaries of Divine Light is an international spiritual community founded in 1932 by Lloyd Arthur Meeker, then a resident of Tennessee. He had for several years been giving focused consideration to the meaning of life which finally led him on an inner search and to a realization that he was responsible for the quality of his life experience. He came to the conclusion that humans were created to manifest the divine design. God is thus the focus of all beingness. Distortions in life appear when evil influences (fear, hate, anger, etc.) gain control of the mind. However, humans have the power to choose which influences they will allow to influence their mind.

Meeker began to write his conclusions under the pen name Uranda. He was soon joined by a young colleague, Lord Martin Cecil (d. 1988), who became head of the Emissaries following Meeker's death in a plane crash in 1954. Meeker had established the main U.S. center of the movement, Sunrise Ranch, in 1945 in Loveland, Colorado. Cecil opened the primary Canadian center at 100 Mile House in British Colombia.

The Emissaries now exists through 12 communal centers scattered around the globe, and in more than one hundred teaching centers, each managed by a small group of people affiliated with the movement. They offer classes and workshops that assist people in remembering their own divine nature. One method for doing that is "The Opening," a seminar/workshop experience that introduces individuals to their divine identity, the universal principles that govern life, and the nature of the invisible realm. Meeker also developed a unique healing process called Attunement, a non-touch healing technique that attempts to restore the spiritual element to the healing process. It begins in the harmonization of the healer, the patient, and the source of all being.

[1] Meeker taught and practiced Attunement as a central feature of his spiritual teaching and ministry, Emissaries of Divine Light.[2] Attunement is taught as a personal spiritual practice and as a healing modality offered through the hands.[3] Emissaries of Divine Light believe that Attunement is a pivotal factor in the conscious evolution of humanity.
[4] Like Qigong, Reiki and Therapeutic touch Attunement is a putative practice as defined by the United States National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), lacking published scientific study of its effectiveness.
[5] Attunement practitioners and clients rely on personal and anecdotal experience to promote it.

History
Beginnings

Lloyd Arthur Meeker shared the first Attunement with Rudolph Plagge in Wichita, Kansas, in 1929, and developed the teaching and practice of Attunement with colleagues until his death in 1954.[6] From September 14 to 16, 1932, Meeker had a spiritual awakening experience that he described as a “heavenly ordination.”[7] He marked that experience as the initiation of Emissaries of Divine Light.[8] That same year he instituted a series of energy medicine experiments. Meeker reported that he could stand across the room from the client and the client could feel the intensification of life force.[9] He also reported excellent results when his hands were one to six inches from the client.[9]

Lloyd Arthur Meeker wrote and lectured using the name Uranda, which was how he was known to his followers.[10] From 1935 to 1945, Meeker traveled across the United States and Canada, establishing centers for healing and spiritual teaching for varying periods of time in Atascadero, Oakland, Burbank and Long Beach, California; Buffalo, New York; Grand Forks, Iowa; and Loveland, Colorado.[11] In December 1945 Meeker established his headquarters at Sunrise Ranch in Loveland, where Attunement continues to be taught and practiced.[12][13]

The Role of G-P-C Chiropractors

The G-P-C movement played a significant role in the development of Attunement.[14] G-P-C stood for God – Patient – Chiropractor.[15] It was a no-fee system of service that George Shears created in the late 1930s after he, himself, had a severely debilitating ruptured disk, and vowed to offer his services on a donation basis. Shears had been a Major League Baseball pitcher in 1912, and then a graduate of the Palmer School of Chiropractic in 1917.[16] He experimented with "no-force" chiropractic adjustments in which he believed it was the healing energy through his hands that brought positive results, shown through x-rays.[17] The G-P-C movement saw the relationship between the chiropractor and the patient as the base of a triangle with God at the apex.[18] Meeker eventually embraced this model for the healing relationship.[19]

In 1949, Albert Ackerley, a G-P-C chiropractor in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, was introduced to Lloyd Arthur Meeker’s writings.[20] In June 1949, when Ackerley was preparing to offer an adjustment to his patient, he saw that the patient’s spine had aligned before he had given the adjustment. He believed that this result was a consequence of the flow of subtle energy between himself and the patient, rather than any physical intervention.[20] Ackerley met Meeker in July 1949 and began to practice Attunement under his tutelage. Up to this point, Meeker had referred to Attunements as “treatments.” It was Albert Ackerley who named those treatments “Attunements.”[21] With Lloyd Meeker’s urging, Ackerley began to experiment with long-distance Attunements in which the person receiving the Attunement was not in the physical presence of the practitioner.[22] Albert Ackerley and G.P.C. President, Virgil Givens, were both prosecuted legally due to their practice of energy medicine, but continued to practice nonetheless.[23]

In May 1950, Lloyd Arthur Meeker met George Shears. Meeker’s meeting with Shears was followed by G-P-C meetings at a Chiropractic Convention in August 1950 in Davenport, Iowa, and then a G-P-C conference in Huntingburg, Indiana, which was attended by Meeker.[15] Following these events, about twenty-five chiropractors attended a G-P-C Convention from September 2 through 8 of that year at Sunrise Ranch.[24]

The prospect of joining with Meeker and Emissaries of Divine Light raised suspicion and concerns among the G-P-C chiropractors. Nonetheless, at the G-P-C Convention in the home of George Shears in Huntingburg, Indiana, on February 24 and 25, 1951, the G-P-C board of directors voted to cooperate with the Emissaries to establish a G-P-C Servers Training School at Sunrise Ranch.
---
[25] Lloyd Arthur Meeker led three six-month G-P-C Servers Training School sessions at Sunrise Ranch from 1952 to 1954. His classes from the 1952 session were transcribed and published as The Divine Design of Man, # 1 and # 2.[26][27] The audio recordings and the transcripts of Meeker’s classes from the 1953 and 1954 sessions are still extant. The sessions included Attunement technique, nutrition, psychology and a broad spectrum of spiritual teachings.[28][29]

In August 1954, Lloyd Arthur Meeker, his wife, Kathy Meeker, Albert Ackerley and two children died in the crash of Meeker’s small plane in San Francisco Bay.[30][31] A close associate of Meeker’s, Martin Cecil, assumed the responsibility for the leadership of Emissaries of Divine Light and for carrying forward Meeker’s Attunement work.[32] With assistance from G-P-C chiropractors, James Wellemeyer and Bill Bahan, and from Roger de Winton, Alan Hammond and others, Martin Cecil continued the Servers Training School at Sunrise Ranch and the teaching of Attunement.[33][34][35] George Shears eventually moved to Sunrise Ranch in 1968 where he practiced Attunement until he died in 1978.[30]

Development

As Emissaries of Divine Light grew in the 1960s, '70s and '80s, so did the teaching and practice of Attunement. Martin Cecil emphasized in his teaching of Attunement that the basis of it was a spiritual practice.[36] While many of the early Attunement practitioners were chiropractors, lay people became increasingly active in the practice.[37] Building on the early work of Lloyd Arthur Meeker, Attunement evolved to include groups of people practicing it together.[38] In 1993, a World Blessing time was established for practitioners to share a time of collective Attunement and healing prayer. In the '80s and '90s, the teaching and practice of long-distance Attunement was developed further.[39]

Following Martin Cecil's death in 1988, his son, Michael Cecil, become the Spiritual Leader of the Emissaries.[40] In 1996, Emissaries of Divine Light formed an Attunement Guild, which established standards for the teaching and certification of Attunement practitioners.[41] A group of Attunement practitioners, including Chris Jorgensen and Andrew Shier, formed the International Association of Attunement Practitioners (IAAP) in 1999. IAAP developed and taught the practice of Attunement separate from the organization of Emissaries of Divine Light.[42][43] Roger de Winton continued his Attunement trainings through Attunement Intensives offered at Sunrise Ranch. He also continued his work of long-distance Attunement until his death in 2001.[44]

In 1996, Michael Cecil left Emissaries of Divine Light to continue his own work, which includes Attunement through The Ashland Institute.[45] A group of trustees assumed the leadership of Emissaries of Divine Light with Michael Cecil's departure.[46] In August 2004, the trustees of Emissaries of Divine Light named David Karchere as the leader of the global network.[47] Since becoming the leader of the Emissaries, Karchere has developed programs, including Life Destiny Immersion and Journey into the Fire, that are designed to assist people to transform the spiritual and emotional factors that block the experience of Attunement.[48] In 2010, with other Attunement practitioners, David Karchere founded the Attunement School at Sunrise Ranch.[49]

Philosophy

Attunement is based on Lloyd Arthur Meeker's vision that the human body is designed to be the temple of God.[50][51] The foundational principle underlying Attunement is what Meeker named as The One Law, or the Law of Cause and Effect.[52] Emissaries of Divine Light teach that the causative factor in spiritual regeneration is the universal power and intelligence within all people, and that through response and opening to that power and intelligence, people experience healing.[53] Attunement practitioners believe that positive shifts in consciousness release a healing energy through a person’s body, mind and emotions. Traditionally, the Attunement practitioner is referred to as a server and the recipient is referred to as a servee.[54]

Attunement servers believe they transmit universal life energy through their hands to the servee.[55] The primary connecting points on the servee are the endocrine glands.[56] Attunement servers teach that the endocrine glands are portals for universal life energy that operates through the physical body, and through the mental and emotional function of the individual, and that the servee has the opportunity to open more fully to the life energy within them through receiving an Attunement.[57]

Emissaries of Divine Light hold that the origin of universal life energy is divine in nature and that the core reality of all people is divine.[58] The goal of Attunement is to increase the energetic flow while removing blockages to that flow so that a person’s core reality can emerge.[59]

Lloyd Meeker taught that the human connection to universal life energy relies on pneumaplasm, which was his name for the aura of subtle energy, or etheric body surrounding the physical body.[60][61] Attunement practitioners believe that pneumaplasm is generated when the universal life energy flows through a person, and that the clarity of the pneumaplasmic body depends on the clarity of that energy flow.[62] Attunement practitioners focus on clarifying and enriching the pneumaplasm associated with the endocrine glands and the anatomical systems of the body.[63]

Practitioners believe that the endocrine glands translate seven aspects of the universal life energy into the human experience. They name these as the Seven Spirits.[64]

GlandSpirit

Pineal Love
Pituitary The Womb
Thyroid Life
Thymus Purification
Islets of Langerhans Blessing
Adrenal gland Single Eye
Gonads New Earth


Attunement practitioners relate these Seven Spirits to the Seven Spirits of God referenced in the book of Revelation in the Bible.[64] Some Attunement practitioners correlate the seven endocrine glands with seven chakras.[65]

Technique

At the core of the teaching of the technique is the establishment of an energetic circuit between the practitioner (server) and the client (servee).[66] Practitioners seek to establish that circuit by the radiant extension of life energy through the dominant hand of the practitioner to the gland or organ of the client, and the receiving of life energy through the opposite hand from a corresponding contact point in the body.[67]

Meeker taught that the first step in the Attunement process was the alignment of the cervical vertebrae by the radiation of healing energy through the hands on either side of the neck.[68] Contemporary Attunement practitioners continue to teach attunement technique that begins and ends with an Attunement of the cervical vertebrae.[69] Often, the cervical Attunement is followed by Attunement of the endocrine glands and some of the major organs of the body.[70]

Spiritual practice

As a spiritual practice, Attunement is intended to connect a person more closely to their spiritual source and to open the flow of life current.[71] The practice includes conscious attention to the quality of spirit expressing through the practitioner in the daily living of life, and specific periods of meditation in the beginning and ending of each day, taught as Sanctification in the Evening and the Morning.[72]

A central aspect of Attunement as a spiritual practice is referred to by Emissaries of Divine Light as spiritual centering, which they define as a daily practice of opening thoughts and emotions to the spiritual.[73]
