Mysteries of Creation

Mysteries of Creation

Throughout history, we appear to have wondered when and how we came into existence. We are yet unsure whether creation took place at a certain point in time or if we are eternal beings that have always existed. Popular believes is that humans evolved from the apes millions of years ago.

We accepted, with blind faith, when scientists convinced us that we descended from apes! We decided that we did not descent from pure humans, like Adam and Eve, who were created by God.

The Times of India, dated Thursday the 30th of March 2000 featured an article that confirmed that the Theory of Evolution, a rational scientific statement, is incorrect.

In 1977, a team from the University of Munich in Germany firmly established that there is absolutely no link between apes and humans when they failed to find any DNA strands in apes that were related to modern human tissues.

Even the fact that evolution took millions of years is now in doubt.

Professor Alan Linton of the Bristol University in the United Kingdom made the statement that evolution is a man made 'theory' to explain the origin and continuance of life on this planet without reference to a Creator.

The wisdom of our hearts tells that God is our Creator and that both the Creator and His Creation eternal. This implies that we, the souls, must also be eternal. We are eternal spiritual souls in mortal physical costumes that we refer to as our bodies.

With evidences that our scientific explanations of our origins is incorrect, we can begin to gain an understanding of related matters and accept what we feel is right. We need to trust the wisdom of our hearts because we are in the realms of spiritual knowledge that cannot be proved or reproduced like our physical knowledge.

To understand the mystery of creation, let us examine the role of the spiritual soul through the eternal cycle. The awarenss of our present life cycle will assist us to gain an appreciation of the Laws of Karma, the law of action and reaction.

We will all accept when we were young, we were all innocent, pure and peaceful individuals. As we grow, we perform actions that soon became our habits and personalities. We begin to cultivate expectations and indulge in vices for short-term happiness. As we get older, we wish that our personality and relationships remained as it was in the good old days when we realise what we have lost.

Our bodies that were fresh and healthy, like gold, slowly degraded to become stale and unhealthy to the point when it becomes no longer suitable for its intended purpose. Similar to gold, silver, copper and iron that corrode with time and lose their lustre, both our physical health and spiritual happiness gradually deteriorates.

Each stage of our growth from birth to death may be categorised as Gold, Silver, Copper and Iron ages to relate to the gradually deteriorating states of our physical health and spiritual happiness.

When we were young, it was like living in the Golden Age without the negative influences of worry, vices, desires and expectations. Everything that was needed was readily available. When we think back of our childhood, most of us will agree that it was like heaven. Our actions were neutral, neither good nor sinful.

As teenagers, life is still great. Our needs are still taken care of by our parents. This is our Silver Age of existence. Our actions were still neutral, neither good nor sinful.

Later as adults, we begin to stand on our own feet and become involved in relationships within our family, with friends and the environment. These relationships, being related to our body consciousness, create worry, expectations and desires. We begin to perform impure actions that result in sorrow and suffering. This is our Copper Age of existence.

When old age sets in, it is our Iron Age of our existence. We have more unhappiness and sorrow because we are continuously paying the price for our sinful actions. Most acts tend to be governed by selfish motives, desires for recognition and most relationships are based on attachments, greed, ego and other negativity.

Re-creation occurs at this age of the cycle when the soul leaves the physical body to begin a new birth-growth-death cycle in a new physical body.

Just as every day, every year and every birth is a cycle, let us suppose that the world, too, re-creates itself after say 5000 years. Not physically destroyed and re-created but rather to replenish and become completely new and fresh. This makes sense because we have been continuously depleting natural reserves without replenishing them.

Similarly, just as corroded metals are polished to bring out the original lustre, souls will need to be purified of all their negativity. The divine act of God is to transform the souls to their original divinity and purity to begin the new cycle as deities of the Golden age.

At the present time, we question the existence of God and wonder how God, the loving, merciful and just will create a world in which we experience so much tragedy and sorrow. Through understanding of the Laws of Action and Reaction, we can begin to realise that we have created the present world situation.

God, the Supreme, nature and souls all work with their own energy at their own levels of consciousness. Not everything that occurs in nature is an act of God. Nature works most efficiently if allowed to do so without human interference. God's intervention is never needed by nature.

Human souls certainly work with their own energy and level. Souls, being forms of energy, are neither created nor destroyed. They are eternal and have always existed. They are all equal except for the memory of past actions that is recorded within each soul. Where the soul in born into, the life it leads and life span are all determined by its past actions. Our past actions determine our present conditions. This is the Law of Karma, the Law of Action and Reaction.

Creation and Re-creation

We have seen that everything around us follows a cyclic pattern where there is neither a beginning nor an end. New becomes old and the old becomes new. A tree that grows out of a tiny seed will produce seeds to reproduce itself before it decays.

We have seen how each of our births start as the "Golden Age" and progressively deteriorates to become like the "Silver Age", "Copper Age" and finally "Iron Age".

Each successive re-birth, too, follows a similar pattern where our first births where in the "Golden Age" of Planet Earth while the final births are in the "Iron Age" where we personally experience great stress, pain and suffering. The environment, too, defleted of its natural resources and manipulated by humans, reacts violents as extreme climatic changes and natural catostrophies.

Re-creation has to take place at the end of the cycle before a new beginning is possible. This will be at a spiritual level to enable the souls to make a fresh start with new understanding, new realisation and new awareness.

This implies the need for education to transform the intellect and create a new awareness that is beyond physical limitations. Knowledge that will help destroy old habits and create new personalities and behaviour based on purity and divinity.

To seed this re-creation, God takes the role of a Teacher to impart divine knowledge to help souls overcome past evil tendencies and replace them with the new qualities for the Golden Age.

How will God, Himself, teach us?

God needs to incarnate on Earth and speak through a human being. The first human God used, as the medium, to teach was Prajapita ( the father of the people ) Brahma who first saw God as a form of Light.

How would we know that it is God, Himself, is teaching us?

When we listen to the teachings, it will become clear that the source cannot be human. This, however, has to be a personal decision.

Some of those who heard the teaching have felt themselves taking a new birth. A sort of "Dying Alive" to die from the Iron Age and be re-born again in the Diamond Age, in preparation for the Golden Age that is to come.

These are the new pure souls, created by God's teaching, for the new world of purity.

Meditation to Experience God

Om Shanti. I realise now that I am an actor on this unlimited stage… I have been playing my role on this physical world.

I experience detachment from this, my physical costume … This particular body that I occupy at the present moment … I experience myself as a being of light … A pinpoint … a tiny dot in the centre of my forehead. I realise now that this particular costume is only one of many that I have worn and shed in the past …

I am also aware that I have other beautiful costumes that await me in the future… In this consciousness it becomes natural and easy to move my thoughts away from my costume …

As I do so, I move beyond the physical world stage … The things of the past are no more … I am free from all bondages … All troubles … I have escaped from the world of sorrow … I enter the presence of the Supreme Father, the Creator of this unlimited Drama …

Baba, the Supreme … Baba, the infinitesimal being of light … Radiating infinite light … Baba, the One and Only Constant Being … I have been changing … The scenes of drama have constantly been changing … But Baba, constant, the immoveable force of purity … Of peace … of love … of power … of bliss …

Baba's vibrations pull the soul closer and closer … The Creator Father cleanses me with His purity and love … He fills me with power … with knowledge … of Him, the Creator, and of the Creation from beginning to end … no more to stumble … to fall in darkness … For I hold the hand of the Almighty Authority … the Ocean of Knowledge. From Baba, I absorb purity … peace … power. I absorb them to such an extent that they remain constant within me …

This is how I was originally … and this is how Baba recreates me once more. My past roles in the Drama are totally merged … Baba's highest qualities elevate the soul to its highest stage … the stage of perfection … Baba prepares me so that I am ready to play my first, most beautiful, most perfect role on the world stage in the Drama once again … Only Baba's qualities remain in the soul … the soul becomes divine …

Returning to the physical world each step is now filled with power … love … true spiritual authority.
