The Plan of Creation
1
The Old Man worked hard for six days.
He looked at his work and saw that it was good.
He stroked his long white beard and rested on the seventh day.
2
As beautiful as this image of the birth of creation may seem,
there is something fundamentally wrong with this tale.
3
The Creator, the source of all light and all vibrations,
did not have a beard nor was he a man and he was certainly not old.

Are you shocked or perhaps even relieved, dear reader?

This chapter parts with many mainstream beliefs
regarding the Creator and creation.
6
But it does not shatter all the myths we have become fond of;
on the contrary…
7
…it reveals some of them in much greater and enlightening clarity
without reducing their vitality.
The Creator conceived the Plan of Creation
Let us start at the very beginning, because it is here that the first
misunderstandings occur. Whether we are aware of it or not,
whether we can grasp it or not, the Creator always was and always will be.
Its eternal nature and love make it alpha and omega, the beginning and
the end. This is the divine spark in everything that lives, the Divine Source,
the source of all that is and the space that contains all that is and always
will be. The Creator is all in one and one in all. The full understanding of
the Creator will probably always remain beyond all human comprehension.
To avoid the fundamental discussion of whether there is a god at all,
what god is or where such a god comes from, we shall continue to approach
the subject as described above. Accordingly, God-the-Father is not the
stringent, bloodthirsty God of the Old Testament who frightens and
punishes, but the loving father as described by Jesus. He is the original
source of all life and the perpetual source of all living beings.
To achieve a common basis for discussion, we must recognize the basis
of all monotheistic world religions, which is that there is, always has
been and always will be a divine Creator.
The DEI Aspects
The masculine (alpha, origin) and the feminine (omega, source) aspects of
divinity stand for the God-as-Father and the God-as-Mother, so to speak.
They are the light and love and therefore the source of all divine life,
being and doing.
At first glance this may seem to be an oversimplified explanation and
difficult to understand. And yet it gives a more realistic impression of
the Creator than does the purely masculine God to which we have
become accustomed. It is enhanced by the fact that it includes the beauty
of the feminine aspect, which is always equally present and without which
creation would be unimaginable. We shall attempt to describe the
DEI aspects in detail to provide a better understanding of what they are,
and what they do for us and all that is.
