This is what I have learned, that before time was, before creation was, there was the Absolute. The Absolute knew all that was possible, all that could be. The possibilities of universes the Absolute knew, and the possibilities of individuals. All that ever was, or is, or will be, was known to be possible in the Allknowing of the Absolute.
The possible universes, the possible individuals, were themselves knowing and aware within the Allknowing of the Absolute. They yearned for expression and actuality. The Absolute loved them dearly, and in Its great Love, It gave them expression. It created them from possibility to actuality.
Before time was, my individuality was held as a possibility in the Allknowing of the Absolute. Freely and lovingly the Absolute created me from possibility to actuality. I sprang, freshly created, from that ancient seed of myself. Just as an analogy, it is as if I leapt from the Mind of the Absolute, to the Body of the Absolute. So each new creation springs into being, ancient from before time was, yet new and freshly minted.
So I took on a physical body. The physical body is earth-stuff, atoms, molecules, chemicals, cells, and organs. Each consciousness has its origin, as I had mine, in the possibilities dreamed by the Absolute and then given actuality; freely and lovingly created. Each consciousness sings with the wonder, the miracle of its creation. |
