He smiles then says “I’ll show you, look up.”
With memories of hell still fresh in my mind, my heart sinks as I look upwards. The sky goes black, pitch black. “There’s nothing up there” I say.
“Before the beginning, there was only god, a single sentient entity, nothing else” is his response. Then the same someone or something I can’t see whispers “Let there be light.”
The sky explodes and I sit there with Lucifer mesmerised, watching the light of creation change down through the spectrum as it cools then collect into clusters that slowly start to turn.
“The first law of existence is all matter must be organised in harmonious structure,” He says ” it is the force that holds creation together, and the composition of the entity you know as god can be considered to be the perfect harmonious structure.”
The clusters get bigger and I watch as ‘stars’ start to form in their centres. The darkness is returning now but it’s not empty anymore…
“But there is more to life than its composition” he continues, “Free will is the definition of sentient life, and all sentient life ‘without exception’ needs sustenance in the form of energy to maintain its structure and stimulation to maintain its mind” he tells me as little points of golden light start to appear ‘everywhere’. Instinctively I know they are from the soul of the creator and I watch as they too, gently fall into the still forming stars, seeding the universe with the potential to create life itself.
“God created this reality and breathed life into it with the ability to develop, evolve and transcend to join the creator ‘as an equal’. Before the beginning there was only god. At the end of the beginning, god will no longer be alone.”
As much as I try to reject his answer, I just can’t. I know he’s not lying but still have to ask… “how do I know you are telling me the truth?”
“Truth has a special energy, and when spoken, the words vibrate in perfect harmony with each other. All souls born into this world have th….”
“…the ability to hear, yes I know you’ve already told me that…. But look why me why am I the one you are telling this to?”
“Because you are lis….”
“…Yes I know, because I am listening… Are there others, others like me?”
“There has been many over time, and there will be more as the ‘conscious awakening’ continues to spread throughout your race. When enough reach this level of development an evolutionary leap will bring about the transcendence.”
The weight of the knowledge is starting to bear heavy on me but I’ve come too far to turn back now. “Is it possible for me to see… this entity… this creator?” I ask him.
“Yes.” he replies. I take a long last look at the wonder of creation and breath in deeply as everything around me fades away to…
