dreams, evolution, value fulfillment: Session 897
Again, your
world was not created, then, by some exteriorized, objectified God who created
it from the outside, so to speak, and set it into motion. Many [religious] theorists believe, for
example, that such a God created the world in such a fashion, and that the
process of decay began at almost the same hypothetical moment that the creation
ended.
Such an idea is
much like some scientific ones, that see the universe running down, [with
energy] being dissipated and order gradually disintegrating into chaos. Both versions conceive of a finished
creation, though one is a divine production and the other is a result of
nothing more than happenstance.
All in all,
however, we are speaking of a constant creation, even though I must explain it
in serial terms. We are discussing a
model of the universe in which creation is continuous, spontaneously occurring
everywhere, and everywhere simultaneously, in a kind of spacious present, from
which all experiences with time emerge.
In this model, there is always new energy, and all systems are open,
even though they may seem to operate separately. Once again, also, we are considering a model
that is based upon the active cooperation of each of its parts, which in
one way or another also participate in the experience of the whole.
In this model,
changes of form are the result of creative synthesis. This model is seen to have its origin within
a vast, infinite, divine subjectivity – a subjectivity that is within each unit
of consciousness, whatever its degree. A
subjective divinity, then, that is within creation itself, a multidimensional
creativity of such proportions that it is itself the creator and its creations
at the same time.
This divine
psychological process – and “process” is not the best word here – this divine
psychological state of relatedness forms from its own being worlds
within worlds. Your universe is not the
only one. Nothing exists isolate in
nature, and to that extent the very existence of your universe
presupposes the existence of others.
These were, and
are, and will be, created in the same fashion as that I have explained – and
again, all such systems are open, even though operationally they may appear not
to be.
There are
literally infinite numbers of sequences, faultlessly activated, that make the
existence of your own world possible. I
admit that it is sometimes inconceivable to me that a human being can imagine
his world to be meaningless, for the very existence of one human body speaks of
an almost unbelievable molecular and cellular cooperation that could hardly
result through the bounty of the most auspicious works of chance.
In a manner of
speaking, your universe and all others spring from a dimension that is the
creative source of all realities – a basic dream universe, so to speak, a
divine psychological bed where subjective being is sparked, illuminated,
stimulated, pierced, by its own infinite desire for creativity. The source of its power is so great that its
imaginings become worlds, but it is endowed with a creativity of such splendor
that it seeks the finest fulfillment, for even the smallest of its thoughts and
all of its potentials are directed with a good intent that is literally beyond
all imagining.
That good intent
is apparent within your world. It is obvious
in the cooperative ventures that unite, say, the mineral, plant, and animal kingdoms,
the relationship of bee to flower. And your
beliefs to the contrary, you have closed your minds to man’s own cooperative nature,
to his innate desire for fellowship, his natural bent for taking care of others,
and for altruistic behavior.
