CHAPTER THREE
IN THE BEGINNING
In the beginning of reality, there was God and only God. God is the Source of all that is, and the substance of God is Divine Intelligence.
The three primary components of Divine Intelligence are Consciousness-the directing or focusing power, Divine Law-the formative power, and the Divine Life Force-the activating power. The Trinity of Divine Mind is Consciousness, Life, and the Law.
Intelligence contains multiple creative powers within itself such as the power of observation, concentration, awareness, choice and will power. These powers synchronized in balance produce Divine Qualities such as harmony, and peace.
The Law contains every potential (idea) for results of action; but potentialities without action to stimulate them are merely ideas. The power of imagination gives perception of potentialities.
The Law is in the Life Force, therefore the formative Law and the Life Force are inseparable. As the Life Force moves through an energy field the Law absorbs all vibrations in its path, blends to feed an idea (or potential) and produces results in that energy field. Wherever there is action, the Life Force and the formative Law are operating.
Results produced by the Law are a combination of all active vibrations in an energy field through which the Life Force is cycling. Recordings of those results—known as holograms —are carried in the Life Force as it makes its perpetual cycles through the energy fields that it activates.
In the beginning, the only energy field was the wholeness of God. The constantly swirling action of the Divine Life Force stimulated the Law, producing a centrifugal force that formed a vortex at its center. That Law within the vortex served as a magnet to eventually absorb all of the Divine Intelligence including the powers and qualities of Divine Consciousness into a central pool. We will refer to that central pool of Divine Substance as Divine Mind. At that point, the central pool was surrounded by empty space commonly referred to as the “void”. The void would serve as the “canvas” upon which Divine Mind would produce Its creative work of art, but not before preparing a Plan.
Consciousness is the awareness of existence or “I Am” of Divine Mind with its cognitive and creative powers. The Divine Masculine power in Divine Mind is the Life Force, the projecting ability. The Divine Feminine power in Divine Mind is the absorbent, formative, and responsive power; the Law. The Law is magnetic in nature. It holds all potential and produces the result of all action. But only Consciousness holds the power to perceive being and to be aware of the Life Force, the Law, and the creative powers and potentialities within itself, thus, to deliberately create. Only Consciousness holds the power to compare potentials, to choose, and to will or direct the Life Force for deliberate creation of a selected potential. Without consciousness everything would be merely meaningless action and result without purpose. Without consciousness there could be no awareness of being or of anything at all, thus, no choice or pre-supposed outcome for anything at all. Without Consciousness there could be no Divine Plan; therefore, if there is a Divine Plan, the Creator is conscious.
The Consciousness in Divine Mind had ability to observe Its own existence, Its own qualities and Its many productive powers. Divine Mind was the initial creative field with potential to produce thought forms and hold them in Itself.
Within the Vortex of Divine Mind, the cycles of the Life Force became more rapid, and the unconscious Law in the ever-cycling Life Force absorbed the intensity of movement to result in waves of rising and falling vibrations. The Consciousness of God sensed the Harmony of those blended vibrations in the entire field of Divine Intelligence and witnessed their beauty as well. The result of that action was the Creator’s Desire to use the creative powers of Intelligence and known potential for deliberate creation.
The first creations of Divine Mind were thought forms or ideas. They were miniature Light Beings immersed in the pure substance of Divine Mind. The Light Beings were inactive, and conscious only of the harmonious wavelike activity of vibrations in Divine Mind.
As the Plan progressed, designs for operating systems within the consciousness of the Light Beings were created and implanted within them to establish a variety of species. The system or design within the intelligence of each species of conscious Light-Being would serve as a blueprint to determine its potential to develop consciousness of Reality.
We, the created Light Beings with the most complex system implanted in our intelligence, would be the masterpiece of God’s creation. We were created with self-consciousness—that is, objective awareness of our individual existence—and with the power to develop full consciousness of Reality and conscious creative expression.
In this way, all conscious living Light-Beings were created in Divine Mind by Divine Mind and held there in a “cocoon-like” state of blissful conscious awareness.
While we waited to begin the expansion and expression of our intelligence, Divine Mind projected a stream of the Vital Life Force and the Law into the outer field—the Void—to begin perpetual action within it. That formed a massive magnetic vortex or pool of energy in the center of the Void. The seed idea for our current universe was projected from Divine Mind into that pool of energy to absorb the Life Force within it. After a time of ingesting the Life Force, that “seed” burst forth to begin its own expansion according to the design implanted in its seed. We refer to that moment in time as “the Big Bang”. In time, that developing universe would eventually serve as an environment for the activation and expression of all conscious Light Beings.
In the beginning of its expansion and development, the universe was uninhabited. The universe itself is not conscious; the component of Consciousness was retained only in Divine Mind and in the created Light Beings. The universe is the environment created to serve as an environment for the development of conscious Light Beings.
According to the blueprint of its design, the first products of universal action in the expanding universe were invisible elements and eventually plants of every kind. Those were formed by the magnetism of the Law as it drew vibrations together in various energy fields of the expanding universe.
The unconscious universal law acted as attraction and repulsion in each plant while it fed on the Life Force that passed through it until it reached its peak of development. As a plant peaks at the end of its development cycle, it can no longer absorb enough of the universal life force to continue reproduction of components in its form, and it begins to diminish. Such is the way of all physical forms in the universe and in this world. When that diminishing plant comes to the end of its ability to intake the life force it perishes, however its seed is still a part of the physical environment, and a new plant grows from the seed.
Living forms with no brain capacity to house the power of consciousness for processing of experience—plants and minerals, for example—have no potential to be conscious of anything. They were designed to establish a balance of energies in the form environments and to contribute to the sustenance and development of more complex physical forms that would develop in time.
While this miracle was taking place, the unconscious universe, expanding from its own seed, had not yet produced energy fields or environments that were suitable for the development of the Light Beings. As a part of the Plan, radiant rays of six Divine Ideas for expression were projected as vibrating waves of Light into the universal Life Force to serve as guides for the continued development of the universe. They were carried in the stream of the cyclic universal life force and would eventually be sensed as influences to action for conscious Light Beings who would eventually appear. With the power of consciousness, those Light Beings could detect the vibrating rays of the Divine Ideals as desires, ideas, and perceive them as influences toward expression and experience.
Following countless cycles of development according to its seed or “DNA”, the universe eventually expanded and produced more complex physical forms that could serve as vehicles for the expression of various species of conscious Light-Beings with potential for detecting only the lowest vibrations of the Divine Ideals. The Light Beings designed to inhabit those early forms were not self-conscious. They were projected out of the center of Divine Mind into physical forms that had developed from the seeds of previous forms through cycles of time.
The Law within the Life Force of each Light Being was attracted by the magnetism in the universal life force as it flowed through the Light Being’s selected form. That moment of fusion between the Life Force in the conscious Light Being and the universal life force produced the first breath of the form.
The Light Beings found themselves inside a physical form with awareness of their immediate environment. That immediate environment was the cumbersome physical forms that they inhabited. The universal life force flowing through the forms stimulated the physical system of the brain and nervous system and the Light Being became aware of the natural survival needs of the form. Their secondary awareness was of the environment that their forms occupied. Unlike plants, the animal forms did not receive their nutrition automatically from the ground and atmosphere, action was required for survival.
Once a Light Being is activated, it begins to develop its powers of simple reasoning through use of the intelligence within, within the limitation of its species. Light Beings that inhabit the forms of insect or animal were not designed with the potential for self-consciousness and are not aware that they have creative powers within their intelligence. They are not conscious of the powers of their intelligence or of mind itself. Any creativity that they seem to express is merely a pattern within their seed.
With only objective perception in relation to their desires and emotions, the first conclusion of the Light Beings was that everything in the environment was there to satisfy the desires of their bodies. Those first active inhabitants of the universe responded to the bodies that encased them as if the bodies were commanders telling them to eat, drink, sleep, play, procreate, and move about and made themselves servants to the form. We would know those Light-Beings as the original insects, reptiles, birds, or animals of our planet.
Copulation led to families or herds, packs, and other such groupings for pro-creation, sleeping, hunting, playing together and survival of their young. Without self-awareness a Light-Being is initially objective, but the first thoughts stimulate the nervous system to produce feelings. The products of their active intelligence—such as memory and simple reasoning—are perceived as “voices” demanding service to the instincts of their physical form and their social ideals.
With the power of their intelligence limited to perception of that which was immediately evident, there was no awareness of the vast amount of food and options available. They began to compete for food, territory, and satiation of their physical hungers. Their powers of reasoning (comparing one idea to another) and of imagination (perception of potential) held very limited potential for learning and holding knowledge as memory.
According to the Plan held in Divine Mind, the universe continued to expand according to the seed for its development. Atmospheric conditions changed. The original inhabitants could no longer find what was required for their sustenance.
Through continued cycles of time, physical forms with more complex brain and nervous systems developed on earth and in various galaxies of the universe. These were suitable for the use of Light Beings with capacity for detecting the full range of the first five Divine Ideals, which are related to socialization and physical survival.
They were still not suitable for the self-conscious—thus self-directed—Light Beings to inhabit.
As the seed idea of this universe continued to develop according to its design and purpose, we, the self-conscious Light Beings, waited for our birth into action. We were conscious only of existing in an environment of harmonious vibrations that flowed perpetually through our consciousness. Eventually a suitable form developed in the universe. It would serve as a vehicle through which self-conscious Light Beings could pursue all of the Divine Ideals and evolve in consciousness as a result of that pursuit.
The self-conscious Light Beings who chose to leave that cocoon to enter into the outer field for development of wisdom were empowered to project themselves into the first human forms.
With the activity of pro-creation, each generation of self-conscious Light Beings produced more of the human forms with complex brains and nervous systems capable of detecting the full range of the six primary Divine Ideals. They also served as vehicles for reincarnation of self-conscious Light Beings that had previously occupied physical form.
We, the self-conscious Light Beings, were created with the potential to become conscious of the creative forces within ourselves. We held the potential to become conscious that our thoughts and feelings are generated inside our own consciousness as a result of our mind action.
The substance of our individual being is Divine Intelligence. By sensing and pursuing the sixth Divine Ideal, which is to exercise the powers of our intelligence, we become more aware of that substance and our own reasoning processes. As we exercise the powers of observation, choice, memory and comparative thinking we can increase those powers and the reasoning capacity of our intelligence to advanced learning.
This is a stage that each self-conscious Light Being must pass through in order for the Intelligence to reach its first peak of development in the capacity for spiritual realization. The acceptance that we can deliberately increase our individual understanding of Reality beyond the visible environments and the sensation of our feelings and desires sets us apart from other animals and stimulates the passion for pursuing our quest for greater enlightenment.
The two major destinations that one might pursue at the beginning of this point of development in consciousness makes all the difference in whether or not he or she continues to develop consciousness of Spiritual Reality. That limitation is not a punishment or reward; it is inherent in our design and merely a result of our choice.
Once we have developed through the sixth Ideal, if we choose to continue applying all of our intelligence to the fulfillment of only social and physical or intellectual fulfillment —whether it be just for self or for self or for altruistic service to others—we have chosen those first six Ideals as our perception of the purpose for life. No higher purpose will be sensed.
But if we have chosen the spiritual destination—which is to continue our search for direct realization of spiritual Reality, a quantum leap occurs in our consciousness to reveal the first of three even higher Ideals. The next chapter explains the Divine Ideals in full.
With the advent of that first spiritual initiation, the individual Light Being, having experienced numerous incarnations, is as if “born again” into perception of self as a spiritual being or individual soul, occupying a physical form in a physical environment and releases the old perception of self as a physical being with a soul.
The life force that sustains the universe and the physical forms within the universe gives life only to form. It cannot sustain consciousness of the soul. We and all conscious living beings go in and out of form and are kept alive and conscious eternally through a tunnel of radiating Divine Light that is our connection to the Source. The individual consciousness in a Light Being can never die. Our species alone is designed with the potential to be conscious of that truth. Only we have the potential to become aware of the Source of our being, of eternal life, and of our spiritual identity. The awareness that we are conscious and that we have the powers of intelligence within us inspires us to follow the clues, search for the Source of our consciousness, and find the fulfillment of our spiritual questions of who am I, why am I here, where did I come from and where will I be when my body is no more.
The choices that self-conscious Light Beings can make and the paths that we can take in search of fulfillment and enlightenment are many. But the potential for individual evolution in consciousness and the process through which it can be done is the same for all. It is the Divine Plan.
