Philosophy

“Man demands a beginning and a boundary, so in the beginning there was a sea of spirit (energy), and it filled all space. It was static, content, aware of itself, a giant resting on the bosom of its thought, contemplating that which it was.

“Then it moved. It withdrew into itself, until all space was empty, and that which filled it was shining from its center, a restless, seething mind. This was the individuality of the spirit; this was what it discovered itself to be when it awakened; this was God.

“God desired to express Himself, and He desired companionship. Therefore, He projected from Himself the cosmos and souls (the Big Bang). The cosmos was built with the tools which man calls music, arithmetic, and geometry: harmony, system, and balance. The building blocks were all of the same material, which man calls the life essence. It was a power sent out from God, a primary ray, as man thinks of it, which by changing the length of its wave and the rate of its vibration became a pattern of differing forms, substance, and movement (string theory). This created the the law of diversity which supplied endless designs for the pattern. God played on this law of diversity as a person plays on a piano, producing melodies and arranging them in a symphony.

“Each design carried within it, inherently, the plan of its evolution, which was to be accompanied by movement, growth, or, as man calls it, change. This corresponds to the sound of a note struck on a piano. The sounds of several notes unite to make a chord; chords in turn become phrases; phrases become melodies; melodies intermingle and move back and forth, across and between and around each other, to make a symphony. The music ends as it began, leaving emptiness, but between the beginning and the finish there has been glorious beauty and a great experience.”
