LIFE AND THE LAW - IIN THE BEGINNING

GENESIS:

At the beginning of the Bible, in Genesis, it begins by describing the creation process in symbolic language.

It says that the first thing created was a division of the realm of the invisible, and a physical realm; heaven and earth. This is the separation between thought (heaven, the invisible realm) and things (the physical, visible realm of forms and objects).

The first thing brought forth was light, or pure energy ("Let there be Light"). Today we call it the Big Bang.

And then there was a division of the waters, it says, and water is a symbolic term for the substance of spirit, which is the stuff of the invisible realm.

And it says a firmament was created, which is a division or form, to separate those waters, that is, to appear to separate spirit from Itself. This is the formation of separate individuality, creating a apparent division of Spirit. Note; this is not a separation, but an apparent division.

And it says God called the firmament Heaven. It is the space between the waters, the space that the individual spirits inhabit.

And so, we are in it, right now…. We are those flowing waters of Spirit, held apart from one another by that firmament, which we call FORM, our bodies. In fact we can see that all things are separated by their forms, so that we name them, or describe them, as individual objects.

This is creation, as we know it. This is Heaven. Sorry to disappoint you!

Jesus said "The kingdom of Heaven is within you", and "The Kingdom is at hand." So if it is really available right now (at hand), then it must not require creation, it must simply require realization.

What, you say, my world doesn’t look like the Heaven I pictured? That’s because you have either not made a clear picture, or you haven’t built according to your picture.

Have you ever built a house? When you build a house, you start with an idea, like the idea we have of heaven. From that, you obtain or create a set of detailed plans. Then you track down the materials and the help you need. And if the help does it right, you have a nice house, one that matches your original idea.

Did you do that with your life? Most of us didn't. Most of us have an idea, but no plan. Or we have a scattered, rough sloppy plan with no detail. We get sidetracked and settle for poor materials. And most of all, we don’t want qualified help – we can go it alone, can’t we?
Then we wonder why our life doesn’t resemble our idea of heaven.
