 In the Beginning
Well, Human, you and I have been here since the beginning of time.
It makes no difference whether
time began with the cracking of the Cosmic
Egg, Genesis 1:1, or the "Big Bang"
(an expression coined in 1950 by the astronomer
and mathematician, Fred Hoyle). This Great
Adventure is the result of a perfect, pure
intention rising out of an indescribable void
and uttering its only commandment: “Be!”
“Be!” is a perfect,
eternal thought encompassing a perfect,
infinite body in a single point of light.
In the glorious instant of Its becoming,
that Holy Thought, that Incredible Speck,
expanded its light into all of the dimensions
of time and space and joyously cried out,
“I am!” That passionate cry echoes
yet from the farthest reaches of the universe.
According to Big Bang theory, this Incredible
Speck of Light, in the first instant of
being inflated at an unimaginable rate... a
trillion, trillion times in the tiniest
fraction of the first second of all time.
Our beautiful universe must be part of a
great idea.
This expansion of Light
produced what we can truly call “stardust.”
Scientists exploring... seemingly accidental
relationships in the Universe have found
special fixed numbers called “constants”
to describe these relationships. Now they
find that if these numbers were off by the
tiniest percentage, the Universe could never
have given birth to stars, let alone us
humans.
When we focus sharply and
clearly for a long enough time on any thought
or idea, we can create physical things.
The invention of the incandescent light
bulb by Thomas Edison typifies the result
of exercising this power of focus. Look
at what minds have created.
Questions that analyze Divine
thought—Truth—cannot threaten
it; it simply is. Questions threaten secular
thought because it lacks the integrity of
Truth. The Great Invocation opens with the
expression, “From the point of light
in the mind of God....” Though she
wrote this years before Fred Hoyle coined
his famous phrase, it speaks of how the
Great Expansion began, and still goes on
within The Source’s mind—sacred
thought. If our minds move, store, and combine
information, so must The Source’s mind,
for we are made in The Source’s image,
are we not? Does it not make sense that
the mind of The Source encompasses its entire
creation? Does it not make sense that The
Source needs to know what goes on in its
body—the physical universe?
Thought must connect all
of the pieces of the universe. It must be
able to move between them without any limitation
of the physical universe, which is limited
by space and time. As a result, some scientists
have brazenly concluded that thought originates
in the chemical processes of the brain.
Their thesis makes the creative mind secondary
to the created body. The quantum physics
experiments mentioned above, coupled with
some later thought experiments, suggest
that a mental universe encompasses the physical
universe. Money? Greed? The
Source’s passion creates and sustains
that wondrous Point of Light. Passion is
a matter of soul, not the mind, or the body.
Joyous laughter is not unique to humans.
We learned it from The Source. The sound
of the Great Expansion is certainly The
Source’s joyous laughter. Fear is not
of the Universe. The time has come for us
to stop throwing ourselves all over time
and space. The Source has already fed us
the knowledge to know that the Point of
Light in its Mind promises each of us the
time and space we occupy here and now.
As we have God’s
body, mind, and soul within us, so must
we have God's spirit within us. The
Source’s spirit expresses itself in perfect
relationship with the whole universe. Ours
would reflect God’s spirit back at The
Source. Three more points will close
this chapter:
First, we are all equal....
We are all Mind, Body, Soul, and Spirit.
Second, all human beings are different.
Our bodies, temperaments, passions, and
experiences are all different. Third, like
God, we are also Light, Life, Love, and
Laugher, which make us equal in God's eyes.
And now a simple question
based on this awareness: “What did
The Source put each one of us here to do?”
And one more question out of the first:
“What was The Source's purpose in creating
our wonderfully diverse and creative species?
My experience tells me that we find the
answers when we open a dialog between ego
and soul. So let us go and visit ego and
soul and ask that question.
