PART 8: "HOW?"

When investigators look into a crime scene they are trying to figure out not only who did it, not only what happened, not only when and where, but exactly how? What were the first steps, what were the last events? Was there a murder weapon?

As it comes to the discussion of this universe we habituate, the question of how is truly a great mystery. Much of the ground work we have already laid. The universe is in God's mind and has come from him, through him, is returning to him. How does this actually happen? What follows will to many people appear to be idle speculation.

I present it for purposes of information only. If this material seems particularly threatening or foreign to you please feel free to ignore it.

The First Moment of Creation

The first moment of creation is when God sat and thought upon himself. The self existent one, the I will be what I will be, in the first moment of manifest creation had nothing outside of himself to contemplate. Had nothing outside of himself to be amused by, and nothing outside of himself for distractions. So, therefore the only reality was and remains God.

The first moment of creation is when God began to contemplate his and her own essence. Doing this through thought generated the word. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. We tend to think of language as simply scribbles on a piece of paper or vibrations in air. But, ultimately the word is much more than that. A word is a representation a re-presentation of what is represented.

The highest representation of God is God's own thoughts and meditations upon himself. At this point the holy trinity was born. God the father/mother, the pure limitless self thought upon himself and his thoughts are himself. This is the son. And the relationship between God and his thoughts, the power at the spirit which sustains those thoughts is the Holy Spirit. Father, Son and Spirit, one being, subject, object, relationship. Thinker, is one with thoughts in thinking.

Out of this multiplex, out of this incredible potential all kinetic forms of energy were released. God the Father, God the Son, the holy word, united forever in spirit became now not just potential but kinetic, real energy.

Deeper, Slower Layers of Consciousness

What happened afterwards is deeply shrouded in mystery but is never the less comprehensible. As God continued to think on himself he put upon himself deeper and deeper layers of consciousness. It's much like making sculptures out of play-doh. Play-doh is the only substance, play-doh in this analogy is the mind stuff of God. That play-doh can be flattened out into the form of a mere pancake. It can be molded into a rock. It can with much more care be sculptured into a bird. That is in very crude analogy form exactly what the divine mind did.

God poured a bit of himself out and some of him became slowed down and said let there be light. And in fact the physical creation came into being. That light, it has to be understood, is a limiting of the divine infinite potential. Then the light condensed further into other chemical elements and the creation of actual matter.

Notice if you will how similar this is to modern scientific theory in the first moment of the big bang. This endless energy which is poured out begins to combine and collect into different forms until eventually hydrogen appears, then nitrogen, then carbon etc...

While such a system is conceived of as happening automatically and is therefore not properly reflective of the creative nature of God. It does never the less properly account for the steps.

When the human race wants to build a automobile we start with a frame inside of that frame we put an engine. Into that engine we attach different fluids and those fluids are touched with a spark and the engine comes to life.

It is precisely the same thing with the creation. God begins with matter, then God pours out a little bit more and that matter comes alive. That life form begins in the smallest parts. The single cell organisms. The amoebae, the bacteria. Eventually those organisms turn into plant life.

If you look at a plant you can almost see God's energy being poured out. It is astounding that the steps of the seven days of creation in the Bible parallel exactly the phases of evolution which the secular scientists theorize.

So while the Biblical account explains the steps and the secular account explains the steps in essentially the same manner, they disagree entirely as to the mode and operation. I'm going to present to you that the how of the creation centers around the fact that both of them misunderstand. They both have a part of the story, but it is not as simple as either side makes.

A Conscious Process

The how of creation, the how of the universe is not simply a intermingling of chemicals. In that respect the big bang theorists and evolutionists are wrong. It is a conscious process guided from above. At the same time this is not simply something that God does instantaneously, there is a outpouring of his energy into the universe.

What is happening is that God's energy gains experience, if you will, this is so incredibly difficult to explain because it lies outside of our normal realms of experience and therefore we do not have shared common language to communicate it with. There is no way to actually describe chocolate unless you have tasted chocolate. The best you can do is say that chocolate tastes just like something else which you have experienced. If you have experienced nothing and have no taste then it is pointless to attempt to communicate to you what chocolate tastes like.

Acknowledging as I do that this lies beyond the normal sphere of our language I will attempt to continue. God takes his pure energy and as his energy condenses it turns into matter. Then God pours a little bit more of himself out and that matter becomes animated with single cell amoebae and the plants.

God then pours a little more of his energy out and the organisms wind up being disconnected from the Earth, they become ani-mated which means animal.

Eventually enough of God's energy is poured out and the organism becomes it's own autonomous self willed creature. As this happens the creation goes through different states of consciousness. Inanimate matter is likened unto absolute unconsciousness. The lowest forms of matter of animation, the unicellular organisms and plants are likened unto non-dreaming sleep. It is a different form of consciousness and yet it is not aware of very much.

The higher life forms enter into a state of dreaming sleep. Eventually the life forms gather around human beings in the form of domesticated animals, cats, dogs, some kinds of birds, some horses, wherein they see and learn and experience what the human race is all about. Eventually then that part of God, that self consciousness of God enters into the waking state, that is the state of human beings.

Humanity

We stand at the midpoint between inanimate matter and pure godliness. That godliness is our destiny. Now, so that I am perfectly clear, I am stating that the energy which is you, the soul which is inside of you has been around forever. As the Bible says, "Before we were formed in our mother's womb God knew us." We were in the mind of God. Because that is the only reality, the mind of God.

But our bodies have been here forever, our souls have been here forever. They have simply been taking upon different forms over the course of time.

There is a fair body of evidence to suggest that the souls do not immediately come into "creation" as soon as the body is born. Many people are very uncomfortable with the idea of pre-existence. But, the Bible is clear and The Revealing Science of God is clear that you existed before you were born. How does the Bible say that, well, in those passages that refer to God knowing us before we were formed in the womb of our mother. That knowledge of God means that our personality, our being, our soul was something specific enough that God could have consciousness of it.

But there is another point. That is, if anything which we have said here in this writing is true then the only reality there was, the only reality there is, the only reality that there ever will be is the reality of God. That reality means to complete our analogies of conservation of energy and mass, conservation of momentum, the conservation of God, that's what the Bible refers to when it says that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Therefore what you are is nothing more then condensed and re-shaped Godhood.

How did God create the world? He thought on himself, slowed himself down and came into lower and lower forms of vibration. A gold atom is a very much lower vibration then a hydrogen atom, so to there are realms beyond physical matter which are much higher vibrations then physical matter.

God pours himself out into matter and the matter becomes alive. He pours himself into that animated matter and the animated matter begins to be able to walk and fly and meow. He pours enough of himself out and says ultimately that he has completed this phase of making himself in his own image.

So the how of it is that God is much like Louis Carol, and Louis Carol sent Alice not to meet a white rabbit, but to meet Louis Carol. God has placed himself as a character inside of his own story. He's created images of himself and placed them within the dance of creation. That is you, that is me.

Now, how that occurs is through following the chain of evolution as the secularists believe or the pathway of creation as the creationists believe. But it is neither pure evolution nor pure creation. Every invention that mankind has ever done goes through a growth and evolution but it is always a consciously guided growth and evolution. I think that that bears repeating. No creation which mankind has ever made has been instantaneously delivered. Mankind did not decide to invent a car and have the first thing to roll off the inventor's wheel be a Lexus sports coupe. No, the Lexus sports coupe is the result of years and years of consciously guided evolution.

In exactly the same way the human race and all of creation is the result of consciously guided growth, development and evolution. Again I am laying aside the question of how long this has taken.

How long have you been around? Since the beginning of all time. How does God create the world? In exactly the same way that the human race creates a car or the human race creates a telephone or a television or a composer creates a symphony. You start with the raw materials and you shape them. And you shape them deliberately and consciously throughout. Lengthy process of growth and development.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the best answer I can give you regarding the how of creation. Yes, there is an unfolding, but the seven literal days of creation as the radical fundamentalists want to believe I don't find any reason to hold to one way or the other. It is certainly possible, but I don't see any reason to fight for it either way.

At the same time it is clear that such a universe could not possibly have been created haphazardly by chance. The marriage of the two grants us The Revealing Science of God. We as co-creators with God find common truths regarding how we create anything. We start with an idea and that idea we then start to fashion into matter. And that matter slowly becomes more and more and more exactly what we are striving for.

What God is striving for is to re-create himself. God seeks to become re-incarnated, that is the how. He guides, forms and fashions, beginning with an idea, manipulating matter until finally he has been made in his own image. Let us make man in our own image, that is the how.

The Future

As we look to the future, once mankind overcomes his moral limitations and discovers how to truly live together in peace, the next phases up to the technological development will bring us that much closer to the reincarnation of God. We are coming to the point where instantaneous travel of information is possible.

Imagine all of the computers linked up instantaneously. And imagine having instantaneous access to all of the information in all of the computers, you would in effect know everything. And you would know it automatically and completely. Imagine an interface where televisions are so clean and clear and crisp that your image can be projected anywhere, and you can receive images form anywhere. You would at that point be omnipresent, because you could see everything and you could know everything, thus making you omniscient.

The entire human race as it joins together then, to form, as we've said before, the literal body of Christ, is having God's infinite mind placed inside of it. The book of Colossians promises us that in the glorious final day we will know everything about God that he knows about us. Well, he knows everything about us already.

When we know everything about him what will we be using to know this? How will this happen? The Bible is clear and The Revealing Science of God is clear that only mechanism by which God can know anything is through his own mind, that is the only active consciousness in the universe. The Bible tells us that no man can know the thoughts of another man except for the man's spirit which is in him. But we have the mind of Christ.

In the glorious day then we will know everything about God. But the only mechanism we will have to know that is God's mind. Therefore the Bible and The Revealing Science of God are quite clear:

In the final day God will know himself fully as God.

We are the cells in that body. That is the how of creation. By pouring himself out, beginning to meditate upon himself and seeking to discover all that there is to know.

I know that this is very far flung series of ideas, but as we've said at the very beginning we are dealing with notions which touch upon the very essence of existence itself.
