John 1:1-5, 9 – 18
In the beginning ….. With these words start the
cosmologies of the Old and New Testament. Beginning refers to the birth of
finite creation, for in the Eternal Absolute – Spirit, there is neither
beginning nor end.
When no objects of any kind came into being, Spirit
existed. This Unmanifest Absolute cannot be described except that it was
simultaneously Knower, Knowing and the Known. In It cosmic consciousness and
Its omnipotence were without differentiation: ever-existing, ever-conscious,
ever new joyous Spirit (Bliss).
In this ever new Bliss, there was no space or time, no
duality or law of relativity; everything that was, is or is to be as one undifferentiated
Spirit.
Spirit being alone had only Itself with which to
create. Creation requires the duality of Creator and created. Thus Spirit first
gave rise to a magic delusion, Maya which produces the illusion of dividing a
portion of the indivisible Infinite into separate finite objects, just like the
calm ocean becomes distorted into individual waves.
All of creation is nothing but Spirit, seemingly and
temporarily diversified by Spirit’s creative vibratory activity.
The
Word
It is intelligent vibration, intelligent energy
going forth from God. It is the beginning and source of all cosmic vibrations
imbued with cosmic intelligence. (Official church doctrine has for centuries
interpreted “the Word”, Logos in Greek to be a reference to Jesus, although
this was not the understanding of early church fathers such as Clement of
Alexandria who identified the Word
with nous or wisdom).
The
Word was with God and the Word was God
Unmanifest Spirit became God the Father, the creator
of all creative vibrations. God the Father in the Hindu scriptures is called
Ishwara, the cosmic ruler or Sat, the supreme pure essence of cosmic
consciousness, the transcendental Intelligence. That is, God the Father existed
transcendentally untouched by any vibratory creation as a conscious, separate
Cosmic Consciousness.
The vibratory force emanating from Spirit, endowed
with Maya, is the Holy Spirit.
Cosmic vibration, the Word Aum (Om) or Amen. All
things, all created planets and living beings are said to be frozen images of
God.
The Holy Spirit in Hindu scriptures is called the
Aum or Maha-Prakriti, great nature, or cosmic mother that gives birth to
creation.
The holy cosmic sound of Aum or Amen is the witness
of the manifested Divine Presence in all creation.
This thing says the Amen, the faithful and true
witness, the beginning of creation of God.
Revelation 3:14
A cosmic vibration everywhere present in space could
not of itself create or sustain the complex cosmos. The universe is not the
result of a mere vibrating force and sub atomic particles, liquids and gases
etc. Blind forces cannot organize themselves into intelligently structured
objects they are imbued with a hidden intelligence.
Holy Spirit
The transcendent consciousness of God the Father
became manifest in the Holy Spirit vibration as the Son, the Christ
Consciousness, God’s intelligence in all vibratory creation. This pure
reflection of God in the Holy Spirit indirectly guides it to create, re-create,
preserve and mold creation according to God’s divine purpose.
One Eternal Spirit became the Trinity: God the
Father, the Son (Christ Consciousness) and Holy Spirit. In the Hindu scriptures
as Sat, Tat, Aum. Spirit without any vibratory creation is the Umanifested
Absolute.
The creative vibrations of the Holy Spirit produce a
triune creation: an ideational, or causal world of the finest vibrations of
consciousness, an astral world of light and life force, vibratory energy and
the material world of the gross atomic vibrations of matter. These worlds are
super-imposed on one another, the grosser dependent on the subtler and all
three ultimately conditional on the sole support of the will and consciousness
of God.
Macrocosm and microcosm
As in the macrocosm, so in the microcosm of man
there are three independent bodies. Man’s soul takes on these three coverings
that serve as instruments through which the incarnate spirit can perceive,
comprehend and interact with God’s creation.
The first covering of the soul, which individualizes
it from spirit, is one of pure consciousness, the causal body. The causal body
emits a magnetic force of light and intelligent energy that form the astral
body. The astral body is the life energy that empowers all senses and functions
of the physical body. The physical body is a mere gross materialization.
