Basis of Creation
We have considered the Personage of the Godhead and fathno within the universe.
God is three Persons in one Being. You and I have one being, one fathno; God has one Being, three Persons.
This is the God Who created the universe.
On our planet we are aware of many wonders of creation. Scientists have been telling us about electrons, neutrons and much more. We ponder the greatness of the human mind; about the vastness of what seems to be an unending system of galaxies.
What further wonders are in store for the explorers of our planetary system and beyond?
Yet, God created all this. He, therefore, is the greatest Wonder of all. He is Perfection, itself, and He created all things, perfectly.
Are we to think that God created anything that was less than the best He could do?
Note that He did not create Perfection. There is no such thing as a perfect tree, but there is such a thing as a tree, perfectly.
Only God is Perfect, of course.
God, therefore, created all things, perfectly.
Man was created as man, perfectly. An atom was created as an atom, perfectly. And so on. But none are Perfect.
When man designed the aeroplane, he wanted to imitate the birds and fly. The design of aeroplanes was based on the profile of the bird.
When God designed the universe,
He had only one model.
Himself.
In any case, God would have fashioned the universe after Himself, simply because He is Perfect and His creation was to be a creation, perfectly.
Is He to create a universe on some other model? What Model? Is He to create an imperfect universe?
Because God is Three, so to speak, (Existence, Truth and Love), His universe, similarly therefore, has three basic fabrics.
The universe, further, includes a spiritual as well as a material creation.
Both spiritual and material creations
have three basic fabrics, therefore.
We have seen that God has shared Himself within creation, in His very Existence, His Truth and Love.
Thus, there are
three basic concepts within the universe
- the created material, the created spiritual and uncreated Spiritual (God Himself). Each in turn, is made up of three basic fabrics.
We will name these three basic fabrics created in the likeness of the Creator, existence, truth and love.
We will look at 'Energies' in a later chapter and, for the moment, we will call all energy, impulse. Each basic fabric whether material or spiritual, has an impulse, again each energy is in imitation of The Creator. Each impulse has, as its origin, either the basic fabric of existence, truth or love.
Combinations of these fabrics, with their respective impulses, make up creation on the three levels. Each combina
