The beginning of the world is just a step outside the moment

“God, or All That Is, is in the deepest sense completed, and yet uncompleted.  Again, I am aware of the contradiction that seems to be presented to your minds.  In a sense, however, a creative product, say, helps complete an artist, while of course the artist can never be completed.  All That Is, or God, in a certain fashion, now – and this is qualified – learns as you learn, and makes adjustments according to your knowledge.  We must be very careful here, for delusions of divinity come sometimes too easily, but in a basic sense you all carry within yourselves the undeniable mark of All That Is – and an inbuilt capacity – capacity – to glimpse in your own terms undeniable evidence of your own greater existence.  You are as close to the beginning of [your] world as Adam and Eve were, or as the Romans, or as the Egyptians or Sumerians.  The beginning of the world is just a step outside the moment.”
