from Jesus:
I would like to settle the
age-old question about the chicken and the egg once and for all. The
chicken came first.
Now let us move on to the more serious questions. The following
discourse contains detailed teachings about how God created the
universe. A brief summary is that God has an unmanifest aspect, which
I like to call pure Being. Another aspect of God is the creator, which
is the actual origin of everything that was created in the world a form.
To start creation, the creator brings forth an element which can be
molded into any conceivable form. This is what the Bible refers to in
the saying, “Let there be light.”
As I explain, God the creator is the acting, or masculine, principle,
whereas the Light of God is the receiving, or feminine, principle. So
everything in the world of form is created out of the feminine aspect
of God. That is why some religions say that everything was created from
the Mother God or the Goddess, and that is why some religions worship
God as a feminine deity.
The masculine and feminine aspects of God have always existed. Therefore,
in a sense it is meaningless to talk about whether God was masculine
before feminine or the other way around. These two principles, or aspects,
are inseparable and it really doesn't make sense to talk about one without
the other.
The age-old question of what came first is really a product of the limited
human consciousness which sees everything based on its own situation.
Because human beings experience that their physical lives have a beginning
and an end, they reason that everything else must also have a beginning
and an end.
In terms of the world of form, one can say that everything was created
out of the feminine principle, the feminine substance, of God. Therefore,
everything in the world of form is created from God the Mother. However,
everything was created by God the Father, so by its very nature creation
began with the vision held in the mind of God the Father. It was the
masculine aspect of God that started the process of creation. The feminine
aspect of God took on whatever form was envisioned by the mind of God.
This is not to say that the feminine aspect of God does not have a mind,
or consciousness. However, the feminine aspect lovingly allows the masculine
aspect to act upon her and carries out the vision held by the masculine
aspect. Creation was initiated by the masculine aspect of God and carried
out by the feminine aspect of God. If you want to talk about beginning
and end, you might say that creation started as an idea, as a vision,
in the consciousness of the masculine aspect of God.
It is certainly viable to say that the eternal Mother slept before she
unfolded because the feminine aspect of God has always existed as a
principle. The Divine Mother did lay latent, inactive, until she was
acted upon by the Divine Father.
I do not agree that the religion of the mother goddess was the first
on the planet. When human beings first descended on this planet, they
had not forgotten their spiritual origin. Therefore, they were fully
aware of both God the Father and God the Mother, and they had an active
relationship to both. The relationship that people had to their divine
parents before the fall was very different, and therefore it would not
be correct to say that people before the fall worshipped God or even
had a religion as it is understood today.
As explained elsewhere,
it was the feminine aspect of every soul that first fell into a lower
state of consciousness. This happened because the feminine aspect of
the soul started to take on the ways of the world instead of remaining
true to its own masculine aspect, namely the spiritual self. As a result
of the descent into a lower state of consciousness, souls forgot their
spiritual origin and therefore lost the memory of the masculine aspect
of God.
Because souls lived in a world created from the very substance of the
feminine aspect of God, they could not completely forget this aspect
of God. That is why many primitive cultures worshipped the feminine
aspect of God in the form of the Earth Mother, which they believed gave
them life. It was only after humankind had, in a very slow ascent, risen
to a higher state of consciousness that souls again began to have a
clear concept of the masculine aspect of God.
What has happened today is that many people, most notably in the West,
have forgotten the feminine aspect of God and exclusively worship the
masculine aspect of God. This is a typical example of how people, because
of their spiritual immaturity and lack of balance, swing from one extreme
to the other.
What will happen in the coming decades is that humankind will come to
a greater recognition of the need to have an understanding of and a
relationship to both the masculine and feminine aspects of God. The
simple fact is that your spiritual life cannot be complete without having
this healthy balance between the masculine and feminine aspects. This
applies not only to how you see God but also to how you see yourself.
Concerning your opinion about the American president, I do not consider
him an evil person. He has made certain decisions with which I do not
agree, but such decisions are always the result of ignorance. In this
case, his ignorance was partly brought about because of advice from
people close to the president.
You must also realize that any leader of a nation becomes an exponent
of the consciousness of the people of that nation. Therefore, the leader
will not be removed until a critical mass of the followers change their
consciousness. So it really isn't a matter of what the president does
but what all Americans do. And yes, the consciousness of the American
people, and that of all people around the world, does have a fundamental
impact on Earth changes.
