Viewed in the context of space and time, God has always existed. Previously
as unconsciousness manifested as darkness. This darkness has substance. In
time the substance separated from and, creating the void (nothing) we call
space. Through the compaction of this substance darkness, the universe of
stars and planets etc. were formed. The term, the earth being created from
nothing is true. We are at present in the throws of the formation of the
universe. The planets reflect what the stars were before they were ignited
as a result of compaction. The stars reflect the future of the planets. The
existing stars will ultimately increase their light intensity (Isaiah
30:26). The void of the universe will be filled with light, replacing the
shadow of the darkness, once inhabiting it. This is the ultimate destiny of
the universe, the perfect manifestation of the glory of God.

What we are going thru has already been. The future of it already is. As
beings we are microcosms of the universe, both the seen (matter) and the
unseen (spirit). We were given rise to, at a specific stage in the history
of the universe for the purpose of experiencing the universe of God, in
time and space. Further and most important, to choose whether we want to
exist as, seen conscious reality manifested in light, or unconscious non-
existent reality (void). The need for this arose out of a problem in the
future.

This light does have form and individuality, but harmony of will and other
such spiritual qualities. This is characterized in the universe by the
diversity of the stars and planets (future stars). They will all give
light, rather than consume light as at present.

The real questions relate to what started the process, causing the
unconsciousness manifested as the substance of darkness, to become the
consciousness ultimately manifested as light?

We know light to be released energy characterized by motion. By the logic
of opposites, darkness must be stored energy characterized by a lack of
motion. The question then, would be how did the motion come about? Further
where did the substance darkness come from?

Addressing the latter question first. The spirit of the substance
characterized as darkness, is the formless void. It just is! The substance
darkness, is the form of, and opposite of void. Like void, it just is,
having no beginning or ending. They are parallel planes reflecting each
other. For emphasis, 'nothing, or void' was created by the removal of
'something' the substance of darkness, whilst something was created by its
removal from nothing. The revealing of 'nothing' made 'something' apparent.
Either is known by its opposite.

Returning to the first question, regarding the origin of motion. As light
is a characteristic of energy in motion, so too is sound, but at a lower
speed. We are aware that it is the motion of the particles of matter that
give rise to both sound and light. Somehow, out of the union of void and
darkness came motion. Was this spontaneous or by design? We are dealing
with matter and non-matter stages before the formation of the atom. The
substance of darkness is at the level of the crossover point between matter
and spirit. The nature of the separation was of such significant force,
that it shaped the entire universe in time and space. This type of force we
are unfamiliar with at the level of matter. Suggesting it to be of spirit.
Evidently the universe has order, suggesting design. It is quite possible
that, whilst the universe itself (of matter) was by design, the origin of
the idea and cause (of spirit) was spontaneous. In our own microcosmic
experience, ideas first arise as thought perceptions (spirit), before we
manifest them in form. These ideas (which are often spontaneous) have their
own inherent logic. Further, they arise through our interaction with the
world, of which we're a part, and triggered by a variety of causes.
Friction, arising from differences in form, and ignorance (void) is a major
cause. This is made manifest through the behavior of people (form, the
substance characterized as darkness).

The Biblical concept of God (of spirit) creating the universe (of matter)
at his will and for his purpose, is here perfectly preserved.

If one has the keenness of perception, one might perceive where the above
leads. Not everyone is ready for this. However, it lays the foundation for
explaining why, when John goes to heaven in Rev 4, the one on the throne is
like a jasper and sardine stone. You may well ask, What's a stone doing in
heaven? You will also recall, man was made from the dust of the earth. Gem
stones, are really compacted dust. Incidentally heaven is the universe that
now is, but in it's future glory according as God has purposed. John merely
went to the future! In the future we are made of much stronger substance
than that of the fleshly forms we are now. That is, for those who choose
it.
