In the Beginning, there was Nothing

My Favorite Story of Origin

This is my favorite story of how All That Is came into being and how it continues to be and create itself.

For me, a meaningful story of creation has to answer all of my questions and every experience. Since my primary impulse is to seek the greatest understanding and serve the highest good, the significance and intent of ideas is important to me. This is why I keep asking myself, and the universe of All That Is, what works best and makes us happiest? I want to stay as close as I can, on the right track!

On the back end of what works best and makes us happiest, I usually  include the following reminders. We are both one with and separate from All That Is. We are both creators and the result of creation. Why do I include them? Because they remind us of how much room we have to play in. 

Think about it, there is a huge expanse between oneness and separation. In the same token, there is a huge expanse between being a creator and being the result of creation. If we don’t remember this, we forget it. Too often we get stuck in a small box and never move on. It’s okay if you like where you are and what you’re doing but, it can be hell if you don’t like where you are and what you’re doing.

Rescue!

In my mid-thirties, I was so disappointed with life and myself, I was just about ready to declare both myself and life a failed experiment. Thanks to my wife, Sandra, Seth Speaks – the Eternal Validity of the Soul, channeled by Jane Roberts, entered my life.

It was my lone Christmas gift that year in 1977, because I wasn’t working at the time. As it turned out, it was the best gift I have ever received after my wife and children.

As I laid on my bed reading Seth Speaks that Christmas, I experienced one mental orgasm after another. Finally, someone was talking about Being and Creation in a way that made sense to me. Until this moment, these deeply imbedded ideas had remained hidden from me by the fear of what others might think if I discussed them publicly without official authority.

Instead of using a limiting idea like “life”, I prefer to use an all encompassing idea like Being and Creation. Why? Because it’s how I see myself and All That Is. I see myself as a multidimensional, vibrational being of self-aware energy, or consciousness, capable of thinking and  feeling – acting and reacting.  As multidimensional, vibrational Beings of Self-Aware Energy, or Consciousness, I believe that we are both the Source and Substance of All That Is.

We are Self-Aware Energy

In the beginning, there was nothing – until nothing realized it was something! After all, how can “nothing” exist without something to define it? Does this sound hokey? Yeah! Nevertheless, it makes sense to me based on personal experiences and I’m sticking with it for now until something better comes along.

With this one shocking revelation, “nothing”, which was now both Nothing and Something, came to life, making it possible for Anything and Everything to exist!

This profound event can be defined as the Birth of Original Thought, the Divine Spark of Creation, the First Vibration of Thought, Feeling, Action, and Reaction, the First Impulse to Be and Create, the First Response to the Promise of Being and Creation, the Birth of Unconditional Love, the Birth of All That Is, the Birth of One and Zero (1 and 0, on and off, yes, no, and maybe, oneness and individuality, self and other) the Birth of God, Allah, or the concept of a Supreme Being.

We can also think of this defining moment as the Birth of Consciousness or Self-Aware Energy, whose nature it is to conceive and perceive – to think, feel, act and react. In theory, it was, and is, ALL these things and more, including the moment Self-Aware Energy or Consciousness learned how to condense a portion of itself into what we, in human form, call “matter.”

The Illusion of Matter

Even from a human perspective, “matter” is an illusion formed by thought and feeling, action and reaction. According to scientific research, a hydrogen atom is 99.9999999999996% empty space. Why don’t we fall right through each other? Because electrostatic fields that attract and repulse each other provide our biological senses with the illusion of density or “solid” matter.

To borrow the immortal words of Neil Armstrong and the US Space Administration, accepting the idea that Energy possesses Awareness, or Awareness possesses Energy, “is one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind.”

It’s Time to Investigate

Do you have your Einstein detective hat on and your magnifying glass out? Consider this: without Energy or the power to act, how can Self-Awareness exist and express itself? And without the presence of Self-Awareness, what defines and creates a need for Energy? Doesn’t one need the other for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to exist?

Cast off your cloak of limiting and conflicting beliefs and open your hearts and minds to greater awareness and understanding. Loosen up by asking yourself open-ended questions like: What are thoughts? Where do they come from and where do they go? What are feelings? Where do they come from and where do they go? Where is the “you” that existed two minutes ago and where is the “you” that will appear two minutes from now? In other words,  outside of this moment, in what form do we exist? What about the earth? Outside of Now, in what form does it exist? Can you answer these questions?

As We Think and Act, We Create 

Assume for a moment that everyone and everything, including you, is a multidimensional, vibrational Being of Self-Aware Energy, or Consciousness. See us suspended in an infinite field of Self-Aware Energy. How does it feel to imagine this? As a multidimensional, vibrational Being of Self-Aware Energy, how do you describe your experience in Being and Creation? To give you a nudge, here is how I see myself in the form of a multidimensional, vibrational being of self-aware energy:

We are so much More than We Give Ourselves Credit for!

1. We think and feel, act and react; therefore, We ARE! – This is an expanded version of “I think therefore I am” by Rene Descartes.
2. As we think and feel, act and react, we create. This happens whether we are in dreams, out-of-body experiences, remote viewing, meditation, visions or waking realty.
3. To change what we create, we change what we think and feel, how we act and react.
4. As Multidimensional, Vibrational Beings of Self-Aware Energy, or Consciousness, we are both one with and separate from All That Is. We are both creators and the result of creation.
5. The outer self or ego, is our waking seat of power. Not only does it serve as the intermediary between our souls, our bodies, and the universe, it serves as our whole-body consciousness and more.
6. The moment is our point of power.
7. Being and Creation is the manifestation of power.
8. Being and creating what we love most is the promise of power.
9. The act of Being and Creating (thinking and feeling, acting and reacting) allows us to make the invisible, visible and the unknown, known. It allows us to create order out of chaos and make sense out of nonsense.

To be, we must create; and to create, we must be! One creates the other in an endless dance of quantum entanglement.

To think and feel, we must be able to act and react; and to act and react, we must be able to think and feel.

The Smallest Common Denominator

Whether we are single Units of Self-Aware Energy or complex organizations of Consciousness Units, (USAEs or CUs), we think and feel, act and react; therefore, we ARE! As we think, feel, act and react, we create. To change what we create, we change what we think and feel, how we act and react. In other words, the dramatization of thoughts and feelings through action and reaction is the language of All That Is. It is both the source and substance of All That Is.

Beyond human law, there is no right or wrong, good or bad; there just IS! There is the difference between what we like and don’t like, what works for us and what doesn’t, what makes us happy and what doesn’t, in our oneness with and separation from All That Is, as both creators and the result of creation. Can you see it? Can you feel it?

To create what we like, we must know what we don’t like. To know what works, we must know what doesn’t. In other words, by knowing the difference between what we like and don’t like, we are able to create what we do like.

Every thought is a suggestion, a blueprint for action, and every action is a choice with consequences that work for us or against us, whether we are consciously aware of it or not.

By accepting full responsibility for the consequences of our thoughts and actions, we learn from experience, instead of judge ourselves by it. When we relax and see ourselves in each other, we take everyone around us into account before we act. By doing so, we avoid unnecessary conflict and remove the need for others to impose rules on us to protect themselves. This is only one of life’s many challenges. Without choices and challenges, how can we grow and evolve? Let’s remember this.

* Excerpt from We Create Our Own Reality:

The Value of an Idea is in the Reality it Creates

The challenge of Being and Creation is learning how to use the power of thought and imagination to shape the energy of ideas into a pleasing reality. The prize is a sense of satisfaction, the feeling of a job well done. Like learning how to walk or talk, it is a personal, subjective endeavor that requires creative aggression. It is a balancing act that makes falling part of learning how to stand.

Remember: Thoughts are “things” with a reality of their own and each of us, an artist. With thoughts in the form of beliefs, attitudes, values and expectations, we paint the landscape of our lives. Create a great day!

A Forward Step in the Evolution of All That Is?

If thoughts and feelings, actions and reactions in the form of beliefs, attitudes, values and expectations, create reality, shouldn’t our children know and understand this? As adults, don’t we want to know and understand it? Like adults, how can children improve themselves if they don’t look for, or see, the connection between what they think and do and the consequences they experience in life? Letting others think for us may be necessary for a while but isn’t developing the ability to think for ourselves, a forward step in the evolution of All That Is?

Overcoming fear, uncertainty, conflict and limitation is not easy but without the ability or desire to develop greater awareness and understanding, how can we become the self we want to be? How can we become our true selves, the selves we love to be?

For reference, here is what Seth has to say about this subject. It’s an excellent piece! Seth – In the Beginning, There Was No God

Part 2 in this series is titled: How Thoughts and Feelings, Actions and Reactions Create Reality. It will include subjects like the eternal validity of the soul, the dilemmas we all face in human form, and Thought Dynamics, the study and application of ideas in the creation of reality.

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” ― R. Buckminster Fuller

Always doing the best we can with what we know and learning more to do better! Can you see it? Can you feel it?

What others will not or cannot do for us, we must do for ourselves.
