LIFE AND THE LAW - INDIVIDUALITY AND GOD

Our individuality is the first and best gift that God has provided to us. It is the second thing that God is said to have created, right after "Let there be light".

First, what do we mean by God?

We mean the whole thing, both the initial energy of space from which all things have come, but the intelligence, the impulse, which caused the outward unfoldment of the complexity we see today. When you want to see God, look anywhere – it doesn’t matter where you look, and it doesn’t matter whether you look into the world of material, or into the world of ideas from which material is shaped.

Whatever there was before there was anything, that is God.

Before the earth and the stars were formed, our individuality was created, through the division of Spirit itself into the appearance of many parts. Without it, there could be no world, no universe, because without it, all things would still be together as one, a single undifferentiated point of energy.
