Dear friends,
When we try to find the beginning, we have to ask ourselves "What happened before the beginning?". This gives us a choice between an infinite series of causes and effects, or a cause with nothing before it. We have to ask what happened then, and why the cause happened at the time it did. The solution is that the first cause is the cause of time, so there is no before. This cause must therefore contain all time, and every instant of time is an unfolding from it. It also contains everything that ever existed. Everything in the world is therefore an unfolding from within this cause. It must contain all consciousness and intelligence, and every choice. It is an intelligent being, with the power of choice. It is God.
Everything in the world is contained in God, and is an unfolding from out of God, including all living beings. We find that women have to the power to bring a living thing from out of themselves, which is a reflection of the power of God. God is female.
It also means that every thing in the world is a Divine Idea. Since our minds originate in God, the Divine Ideas are reflected into our minds as well as into the world. An object that we find in the world, and the idea we have of that object, are the same things. By meditation on these objects as Divine Ideas, we are returning to our creation in the Mind of God.
May She be with you,
David.
