| | | i | The concept of God |
| |
| 1) |
The concept of God is not as some father figure out beyond the stars or in a different plane of existence, but rather should be considered as originating in a different state of awareness, and should be likened to a sponge as exists in the Earth plane.
|
| |
| 2) |
The sponge is a great mass of individual units which functions as a whole. But, force the sponge into separation and it still continues to function, though as individual units.
|
| |
| 3) |
If you leave the individual units to their own devices in a common medium they, with the passage of time, will eventually gravitate back together into their original mass.
|
| |
| |
| | | ii | The continuance of God |
| |
| 1) |
In the beginning, which is in the continuance of God but into the Earth and other planes, there was a great void.
|
| |
| 2) |
The absence in recollection of qualities of character such as selfish selfless love, which describes the various aspects of emotions in physical life, etc., was total.
|
| |
| 3) |
That totality prevented the completion of experience of God.
|
| |
| |
| | | iii | The Law of God |
| |
| 1) |
In becoming separate Entities of God, the Units of God's Mass became subject to the Law of God:
|
| |
| 2) |
The Entities were compelled to go forth from the Oneness of God and to experience;
|
| |
| 3) |
The Entities are compelled to gravitate back to the Oneness of God as the fullness of their experience becomes complete.
|
| |
| |
| | | iv | The Laws for guidance |
| |
| 1) |
In order that the purpose of God's division could be accomplished and that the experience acquired would be positive, certain laws for the guidance and fulfillment of the Entities were established:
|
| |
| 2) |
Each entity would choose its own path along which to experience;
|
| |
| 3) |
Each entity would self-govern its own growth;
|
| |
| 4) |
Each entity would self-discipline its own development;
|
| |
| 5) |
No entity could gravitate further, back toward the Oneness of God, until resolving the negative aspects of its experience.
|
| |
| |
| | | v | The expansion of God |
| |
| 1) |
And so it came about that the Entities went out from the Oneness of God. The availability of experience to each entity was limited only by its own imagination.
|
| |
| 2) |
But there was lacking the physical (earth) plane wherein imagination could be physically expressed and encountered.
|
| |
| 3) |
So, many of the entities set about formulating the creation of the physical experience.

Often have i wondered
How very often have i wondered,
The purpose in life for me;
Was it simply because of random chance,
That my being came to be?
There must be more to reality,
Than just life and death on Earth;
Followed by Heaven for selected ones,
Fortunate enough to have gained "rebirth."
