No 143 of Living Life Series 1
In the first cycle or phase of perhaps thirteen years, there might be traditions and rituals such as trancing. There will usually be a tight-knitted religious body of pioneers. Those were necessary for the foundation years of an infant organisation.
But for any mission of a heavenly saint the good Lord did say thus. After the first phase, there would be no need for traditions of old such as trancing and fire walking as they would be not in context with the times as better and more appropriate ways would have come on stream.
A good heavenly saint would have reminded even in the first or foundation phase that all should know “who is man and who is lord’.
During the foundation years or first phase, the demarcation of what might be said by man and what might be attributable to a lord heavenly saint might not be clear until lapse of time when reality of what were said become clear that the lord did fortell.
In the first phase of some thirteen years, there would inevitably be the dominance or rather prominence of a pioneer religious body but towards the end and with the second phase of say another thirteen years, the follow-up leader of the group would naturally be more of administrative and facilitatory head than spiritual. In fact, he would turn out by necessity of evolved circumstances to be a leader with good wholesome leadership at human level.
The subsequent years following the second thirteen years would be the third phase. This phase would see a period of apparent seemingly lack of spiritual human leadership. This however is not true. In reality, we would realize the divine wisdom that there must be the phasing out of human representative of divinity. Otherwise the culture of worship of man instead of God and saints would follow. There is certainly no void in guidance.

For most spiritual organisations, for the third phase or cycle, the miracles (the event language) and helping presence of God and saints would even be even more evident than in the first two cycles or phases of historical development despite the fading away of the pioneer religious body and despite no replacement by a new religious body.
Also more often than not, the third cycle will establish the organisation strongly as a social institution with permanent and better infrastructure and breathtaking premises as well as a more well meshed human social support software.

The organization strength predictably will by then have grown by leaps and bounds. The spiritual element will be felt not between man with man but between man and Lord. There is no need for the pioneer type of religious body
It is not surprising that an organisation would come to such development for it must strengthen as a social organization so that it would last beyond the three cycles. Only then could it have firm foothold into the future.
After the first two phases of an organisation, there will be clamor by some for more spiritualism in the third phase and beyond. But do let divine guidance to take its course.

The innovative and value added inception of an item to streghtened the presence of God and saitns would come in handy in the third cycle or phase. This can take the form of a token cave altar of the three heavenly masters of the spiritual path (Tao). It will be a milestone of ensuring that the divine force of Heaven what some refer to as ‘Holy Spirit’ or ‘Leng’ will be strengthened. This will enlarge and pave the way for stronger divine guidance of all souls that is, for God and saints to save souls.
What holds for the future will be a marvel to behold for such an organisation in its third phase or cycle.
But any heavenly saint would admonish especially in the third phase, ‘The mission to save souls is a mission of Heaven, not of men.’ Evangelism to save souls is the calling of heaven and saints.
Thus the understanding of three phases or cycles of development of a spiritual organisation provides insight on divine purpose and direction. What holds for the years to come will be even more

The development of Bo Tien Temple or any temple for the matter follows this template or at least a variation of this template.
