The Alternative Story of Creation

Note: This is taken from my book, 'Theology of a Modern Heretic'. You can download a copy from this link. 

In the beginning-less time, there is the ONE, that WHICH IS. It is the NOTHING and EVERYTHING. It is the DARKNESS and the LIGHT.

It is PURE ENERGY. It is the CONSCIOUS and the UNCONSCIOUS. It is called the UNIVERSE.

And in order for it to experience more of WHAT IS from WHAT IS NOT, out of nothing, the UNIVERSE, in its consciousness, generates forms of different sizes, shapes, colors, and of different conscious levels, yet, all are of the same source, the same energy, yet its consciousness is still part of the collective whole ~ the UNIVERSE.

It was pleased of what it sees and feels, for it is good.

And as boundless and as infinite as it is, the UNIVERSE continues to generate forms of different energy levels. And this time, shapes capable of feeling joy & sadness, healing & pain. Some walk on four legs, others swim.

It was pleased of what it sees and feels, for it is good.

The UNIVERSE continued to generate a different shape of higher energy level. Walks on two legs and has its own free will, a creative life form able to decide on its own, able to show love, and be loved in return. HUMANS as they call themselves.

It was pleased of what it sees and feels, for it is good.

HUMANS ~ They were full of love, full of joy. But in the difference of being WHAT IS from WHAT IS NOT, they tend to identify themselves as BETTER than WHAT IS NOT. Hence, the birth of EGO.

They begin to set varied VALUES on things even though they are of the same source, the same energy. They now hoard things that WHICH THEY HAVE NOT for they believe that having them makes them BETTER. Hence, the birth of GREED.

They wage war to other beings, to harbor things which they do not have. They destroy those whom they think are INFERIOR. They invent government to organize themselves, religion to organize their beliefs, politics to organize their opinions. They invent technology to make their lives BETTER. Yet in the quest to gain superiority among others, they give birth to PAIN, HATRED, JEALOUSY, & ANGER.

Though there are few who still remember that ALL IS ONE and that EVERYTHING IS OF THE SAME ENERGY and of THE SAME SOURCE and that NOTHING IS ABOVE OR BELOW for EVERYTHING IS THE SAME, yet, most have forgotten. 

The world is now engrossed with WHAT IS and despises WHAT IS NOT, and it is all because of EGO. However, once you have conquered oneself, you have stopped defining yourself that you are BETTER than the rest. And now with your ego-less consciousness, you have communed again with the SOURCE and reverted back to your TRUE SELF: THE UNIVERSE, that which you are part of.

Namaste.
