CREATION IS GOD BEING HIM/HER SELF

Creation is God’s way of eternally ‘being’. Creation is what God Is, or does! We cannot separate creation from God. It would be akin to segregating what we do, think, feel, and act from what we are!

So to the oft asked query why creation? Why the need for this world? We may better ask why God? God Is, and creation is His/Her way of being Itself!

A more reasonable line of questioning maybe in trying to understand what makes creation (in our terms) infinite? God as we know is All-That-Is. Creation is this, All That Is, experiencing or being Itself! ‘All That Is’ implies every subtle nuance, possibility probability, potential that ‘exists’ or can exist! Numerically we will not be able to ‘tag’ the myriad ways in which this can be experienced!!! And if we really give it some deep thought, and think about every aspect and all its combinations ‘being’, and giving rise to further possibilities to further ‘be’ we indeed reach: infinite! In analogy think of (your) self for example: conjure yourself experiencing every quality, skill, choice, option that you possibly could !! All those roads you could or can take, and those, which will then arise!  Won’t it be endless? The permutations and combinations? Even in our limited terms? Magnify this into All That Is , and feel how creation is indeed infinite!

Eternal (in our terms again) implies a stretching out into a distant future! However as there is no linear time in the larger reality, eternal means more a perpetual NOW! Try and feel this beyond the intellectual understanding of the concept. It may help if we note that every act of perception changes both the perceiver and the perceived; that something ‘new’ occurs in every act of perception. Every experience, every moment therefore is ‘new’! As we saw above, All-That-Is experiences Its Infinite Self in innumerable ways! Ponder on it if you will to remove it from merely being printed words to a personal experience! If every moment of experience and ‘being’, is thus ever anew and unique and inviolate...…. therein lies its eternity! Words do not go easily to these inner and larger dimensions….so feel within…

And this is what creation is! God or All That Is being Itself in infinite ways eternally! From our human perspective we may view creation as perpetual expansion and growth within All That Is due to its myriad experiences of its’ beingness! Expanded states becoming the base for even more expansion! 

From Gods perspective we may try and view it as a fulfillment of All That Is in ‘Being’ All That Is!! If you view god in terms of ‘perfection’, then it is God’s perfection ‘being’ (or experiencing its) perfection endlessly! And an oxymoron in our terms: perfect perfecting itself endlessly! The paradox of All That IS …becoming more!

Again in analogy think of creation through our lives! Always use the principle as above so below!  What does living entail? Aren’t we all experiencing and being all that we can in a million billion ways? We work and play and create through art and sports and learning and our careers and relationships and through oh countless ways to Be human, to experience ourselves and our potentials! Next time you are in a stadium, watching cricket, think how analogous it is to creation!  That is one of the ways we humanity experience ourselves, and for no ‘purpose’, other than the fun and joy and experience of the game!! Friends become ‘separate’ teams…! They play at being what they are …and not! Let’s take our spiritual concepts and understanding out of their sealed packaging of books into our day-to-day lives…. as that is what indeed God or creation is!!!

We often refer to creation being cyclic due to this pattern of All That Is experiencing/being Itself in various ways and thereby ‘expanding back into being a more fulfilled expanded All That Is!! This cyclic pattern follows into our physical dimension too: we come with our blueprints or plans and spend our physical lives going back to fulfilling those!! We set out goals and go back to fulfill them! Our source is our goal! It is indeed inherent in all being, all creation! There are indeed cycles within cycles as every individuation of God has its own ‘cycle’!

The flower is inherent in the seed and cannot be more than all that the seed intrinsically is or can be; yet it is in the manifestation of the flowers beautiful form, color and fragrance that the seed experiences and glory’s in its full potential! The purpose (if any) of creation is in Gods joy of Being. It is the Divine Logos experiencing Itself in infinite ways, forever ‘Being’ Itself in enhanced ways! It is GOD’s perfect ness experiencing its perfection eternally!!

Gods, Masters and (we as) individuals are merely differing points on the cycles of creation…. of ‘being’ God! As is all other existence: nature, animals, planets, stars, crystals and the rest, plus those without physical form that we may on our dimension yet be unaware of.

Our various mythological Gods (as different from All That Is /GOD) are the names we give to the various energies on their way ‘down’ into further creation. We may refer to them as the first few stages of All That Is experiencing Itself !! They are the initial ways in which Divine Source manifests Itself to Be. They may be viewed as that aspect of creation closest to its Divine Source, and from whom our universe (and we) and other universes have been created. And towards whom we all yearn to evolve back!

The Masters and historical gods like Buddha and Christ to name a few, are those points of creation on the ‘way back’ so to say from the point of view of our physical dimension! They are All-That-Is few ‘stages’ further in the cycle of creation/ experiencing Itself than us humans. They are then, those above- mentioned Gods who having experienced various aspects of their being through manifestation, either in our physical universe or another, are now as a more expanded energy, closer ‘back’ from where they ‘started’. 

We, as individuals in physical life, are on differing points of the same above-mentioned cycles of creation. Some of us are on the way into experiencing this plane of being, and some of us are on our way out, to other dimensions of being, other experiences. All-That-Is, Gods and Masters are thus our Higher Selves at some point, of both the past and the future simultaneously! (If for a clearer understanding only, we wish to differentiate, then we can consider the Gods as our ‘past’ energy and the Masters as the ‘future’.) Either way, we have all been and will be on each point of the ‘cycle’ and hence there can be no judgment of who is ‘more’ or ‘less’ evolved! We have all experienced all stages of creation, being. Viewed in simultaneous time, we are all even now, individuals at different points and Masters!! And Gods!!

No stage is better, or higher, as they all make up the cycle. All-That-Is is Itself through its being all its experiences!! Back to our flower: It remains simultaneously the root and the stem and its leaves, all the time evolving to its natural ‘destination’, its reason to BE, as the flower! Imagine then in this experience of its full potential and inherent perfect ness, the expansion and bliss within the seed as the answer for our oft asked query as to why the need for creation and manifestation?

We may visualize ‘creation’ in our minds eye like revolving whorls of experiences superimposed on each other… and each of us, if viewed in simultaneous time, on every point simultaneously, experiencing and indeed being all-that-Is! A universal dance! (Only our focus in every current life or being or existence is at/on that point, for its full impact)

Let’s all go beyond the thin cold rationality of explanations then… Let’s go deeper than the veneer of words… for that is where we will truly find the reality we are all seeking and get a feel subjectively of God and Creation and All That indeed Is!!!                 

Note: Creation however must not be perceived only through its manifestation as our physical plane; as this is but one form of manifestation. Once we are through with it, we will continue to experience being All That Is…in other more expanded ways of being. These ‘whorls’ continue into eternity, and infinity, from one ‘form’ of Being to another. Very often we think once we are through with physical life, we are back to Source and have reached our ‘destination’. However it is only in physical life that all progress is viewed with a destination in mind! In the larger reality, there is no destination, as God isn’t going anywhere. He simply Is!!
