Alpha & Omega
CREATION STORY
In the beginning, before the heavens and Earth came to be, nothing existed.
There was only a vast, obscure, and barren Void. There was only a great
gaping expanse of desolate space, without light, without form, without life.
Within the Void of that nothingness, arose a thought. “I AM!” And Deity became
manifest within the Void. Deity saw that it was alone in the Void, and so Deity
separated into two aspects of Being. Thus Light and Dark became manifest
within the Void. These two aspects of Being, once separated, yearned to
become reunited. Thus at the point in the Center of the Universe, the Light
penetrated the Darkness, and from that union, there was an Orgasmic
Explosion of creative force. The Universe and everything within the Universe
came into Being.
Galaxies, stars, and planets, formed from the dust of that explosion. The Earth
and Sun came to be. The Cosmic Life-force touched the Womb of the Waters
of the Earth, and life was created. Land arose from the waters, and life
emerged from the sea to cover the land, and the Earth became a living Cosmic
Being. Life forms became more and more complex, as they evolved to
become the organs of the earth. Plants became the lungs of the earth. Animals
became more and more complex, and eventually humans evolved and became
the nerve system, and intelligence of the earth. All life upon the Earth is a part
of the Earth, and as such, all things upon the Earth are connected. All THINGS
upon the Earth are different parts, different manifestations, different CELLS, of
the SAME COSMIC BEING WHICH IS THE EARTH.
The Earth is a part of the Universe. All things within the Universe are a part of
the Creator, the Supreme Being. Therefore the Creator is present
EVERYWHERE in the entire Universe. And because all things come from this
Supreme Deity, and all things are a part of this Supreme Being. The Creator IS
the Creation, and as you are a part of the creation yourselves, then the Creator
also resides within you, as well as within every person, every living being, and
indeed every THING that exists. Everything is interconnected. All things are a
part of this Supreme Deity, but this Supreme Being is BEYOND THINGS. It
transcends THINGNESS. It goes beyond anything that can be thought of or
imagined. It is the No-Thing, The Void before Creation.
