Quote:Of what value or meaning does, "in the beginning there was", add to the formulation?
Not for or against it, just wondering your position.
I do have a thought, though. "Beginning" may imply time, and that may confuse contemplation of infinity, eternity, unity, and oneness.
Time and Space are, according to this philosophy, constructs. They are systems of illusion through which evolution proceeds.
Within space and time it seems that there are beginnings and endings, but infinity/eternity being "outside", as it were, of time and space - that is to say, time-less and space-less - they don't have a chronology, or beginnings, or ends.
Party why it makes infinity impossible to grasp with the intellectual mind which is hardwired for, and indeed derivative of, space and time.
However, to the extent that you are describing events that happen in some sort of sequence or order, "beginning" has a lot of applicability. And Ra does describe what we might consider a "beginning" to creation, that is, infinity becoming aware.
It is a mystery that sends the mind into disorienting backspins, and a profound sense of awe.
Actually what I was trying to refer to as ''in the Beginning there was'' this interpretation meaning: The Original Idea/Originally there was Unity Consciousness which is the principle of The Law of One.
Quote:My limited, fallible take on this is that terms of "right" and "wrong" do have utility, meaning, and purpose within a limited range of human experience: where morality and ethics intersect our decisions and perceptions. Our realm of experience, however, is a sub-set of a much greater reality.
From the greater perspective, nothing is ultimately "wrong"; conversely and consequently, nothing that is "right". Whatever individualized portions of consciousness decide to do with their consciousness - including the greatest distortions and perversions and inflicted sufferings and destructions - the Creator is experiencing itself in its full range of free will and infinite variety.
Dare I say that I am personally very *put off* by Creator's Will to experience itself on the negative side of distortion. Call me naive or saintly if you will, but this realization makes me feel quite sad. Am I too embroiled in the illusion?! I think I am a little confused.
Is there a place within us when this ''Law of One'' starts to make sense somewhat and one's relationship to the ''Law of One'' is understood and integrated?
Thank-you for your thoughts.
