At the beginning of the Gospel of John, the bible says "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

As a communications engineer, this speaks volumes to me. The WORD means information, meaning, intelligence and structure, such as flows from the process of thought. This means that God is pure thought energy, or conciousness. God not only IS conciousness, but ALL consciousness resided with God.

In other words, pure thought provides the structure and the impetus to form and fill the universe, and the thought energy acts within the substance of the Creator to cause energy to flow and fill the structures of creation.

"The word was with God" means that these thoughts flowed within the body of God as the Creator.

"The word was God" means that God's own self-awareness flows from this consciousness, from these thoughts, as well. Our Universe is nothing less than what God thinks It is!

When Moses asked "who are you", the answer was "I am that am". In other words, "I am that which is..." When all things are encompassed within one's being, one cannot relate to who or to what. One just is - everything. When you dig beneath all the things that you think you are, and believe you are, you just are.

This feeling of cosmic ONEness or complete lack of separateness is our key, our sign that we have touched our own awareness 04 the Creator in us. For we are of God. We can be nothing other.

Our human ego has been designed to give us a sense of separateness or individuality, to enable us to operate independently, and exercise that freedom of will which is the gift of our creation.

Realize that this separate identity is our personal illusion. Your separate self is like the fake storefronts in the old western movies, a facade, a temporary thought construction. Aside from that facade, we are made in the image and likeness of our creator - that is, with the full creative ability to form and manipulate our so-called 'reality'.
