    Genesis:

    In the Beginning the Universe was without form and
    void. But God was there. That is who/what God IS, that which was
    before there was anything. God is still there. God is the very
    framework and background and initiating force of everything that we
    can see, feel or know.

    Then God said let there be Light!. And Time began. All was chaos
    and confusion. But God could never allow this lawlessness to continue and
    swiftly ordered all into law and order and cycles and simplicity. The
    universe grew more and more beautiful and complex. The very laws of
    God demanded Growth, Change, Diversity. A point was reached when it
    seemed
    all
    was, if not stable, then predictable, proceeding with nothing essentially
    New. But God had not finished The universe was dividing into two
    parts.
    One whole still, whole in the heart of God, but a duality a
    polarization had occurred. God had breathed the Breath of Life into
    the World. This polarity deepened and grew. Again God's law had
    taken Beauty more Beautiful. Then Life began to assume it's own
    duality, a rich harmony based in and an echo of the primal split.
    Male and Female were they created, Life reaching to Life to create
    Beauty and change and growth. Life followed it's cycles and rippled
    through time to God's Law but even then God was not finished. God
    had let life produce a Mind, a Soul to
    act
    for God always in accordance with God's Law.

    Intelligent Life is God's Will manifest.



    How did we get Here?

    Mankind is, and always has lived in the heart of God.
    There
    can be no measure of distance from us to God. No measure of time
    where
    God
    is not with us, of us. Indeed nothing in all God's World can be
    separate from God. Or each other. The Light that God created merely
    reflected
    and
    refracted through the lenses of Gods Mind, God's Law to produce the
    rainbow
    worlds and stars and all that is and will be. We are God's Children,
    not God's toys. There are inescapable laws that must be followed.
    Nothing impossible to God's Law can happen, but it would be wrong to
    say that all that happens or that we do is God's Will. As the soul
    of God becomes the breath of life in one of our souls free will if
    given. We always can and Always DO only that which God allows yet
    the Law of God is not a jail, it includes choice and desire. We
    choose our actions but God's Law holds us responsible for it.
    Everytt choice and action changes all patterns we
    are
    a part of, indeed every thing IS one pattern so everything we do IS a
    change to that pattern. One with echoes and resonances and
    ,harmonies.
    The
    universe is not done growing, it is not done changing. We are
    perfect since we are perfectly ourselves. But that perfection is for
    here and
    now.
    We are but a slice of the Mind of God in Time. We have free will
    but
    can
    never break the law. We cannot even be sure that any particular
    thing we do is choice or a conflux of patterns we cannot affect. How
    can we know what God WANTS us to do? How do we know there IS a God?



    Are we alone?

    Much about God is unknowable, it must be accepted that
    this
    is so to progress in finding God. The Facet of the Soul of God we
    call
    me
    is just a facet, one confluence of universal thread in the tapestry
    that is All. That Facet cannot Be the whole jewel and also we cannot
    be other than the facet. Those that try to Know too much of God must
    rely on lies and distortions and illusion to construct their vision
    of God. The Facet has turned away from the jewel and called itself
    God. To try too hard to define God is to attempt to BE God. But
    since we already ARE of God in
    all
    our being this only blinds us to Truth. This universe came to be and
    is, was shall always be root and branch a product of what was
    "before" the Light, That which gave the universe an environment to
    grow in. The Mind
    of
    God is not the mind of as man. The minds of Man are infinitesimal
    parts OF the Mind of God. The finger knows the brain is there even
    if it
    doesn't
    understand why it moves as it does. If the finger cares about
    anything
    it
    is being the best finger it can for the purpose of the Mind. IT is
    not
    so
    important to worry about what God wants you to Do as it is to worry
    about what you should Be. To know what you should Be first you must
    know who
    you
    Are. God's reality decreed you would be a Human Being.
