The One remains,
the many change and pass;
Heaven’s light forever shines,
Earth’s shadows fly;
Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,
Stains the white radiance of eternity.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
As The Ancients Saw It!
The Story of Creation explained to us in Genesis all sounds so improbable. Getting the whole job done in less than a week, indeed. Forget the millions of years for evolution. The whole works, including the Universe,and every variety of life was set up in a matter of days.
Yet it could well be the Truth after all. It has been staring us in the face all this time. Long before the Bible was first enscribed on sacred scrolls, it was passed down by word of mouth, from one generation to another.
Sufficient clues come our way every day, if only we would take notice of them. The Scriptures even tell us to look for them, and promise that those who do, will find the Answer. Just as the clues to my Title Page reveal another meaning, so do the Coincidences and the '33' phenomena. There is more supporting evidence, but personal experience is the most convincing influence.
The Idea, The Thought, The Whole Illusion
The first four verses of John 1, made more sense to the Ancient Greeks, whose language was used to write this scripture. The English version is all down to a misleading translation of the Greek word logos. (The Jesus Mysteries by Freke T. & Gandy P.) It really means something more like, 'The Main Idea', or 'Thought'. The intention could even have been 'The Great Dream'.
Now that this is clear, look at those four verses again. They are saying, 'It all started with the Dream that God had. Everything eventuated from that Dream, including life itself, which was the light of men keeping darkness out. Nobody else had anything to do with turning the Dream into Reality'. So there we have it. Everything we sense as real, is nothing but a dream world. It is all kept in place by the communal energy of the life force inside the Illusion.
I had no sooner thought this out, when along came a film, "What Dreams May Come", portraying a heavenly existence made real by Thought. Only, the story has it the wrong way round. This World is the Illusion, and it is the next one that is Real.
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts.
William Shakespeare
That being the case, you may ask why bother to create a Dream World. It needs must be, for the same reason that we congregate our children in schools and classes. We learn the lessons of life better that way, and so advance towards a higher grade or plane.
Our computerised world is advancing in leaps and bounds. Yet we are still novices and infants in this field. Robots are still clumsy, unthinking machines. Indoor recreation has turned away from cards and board games to imaginary worlds on a monitor screen. Still not happy with that our electronic technicians are trying to perfect new worlds of virtual reality. Inside these machines our senses are fooled into seeing and sensing a realm of fantasy. One can stumble about inside this imaginary scene, combatting villains, and dragons which do not exist. It is only a matter of time before our scientists tire of using microchips in computer brains. Just as we are now seeing real hands taking the place of hooks, so will the main controls go organic. It is already happening, in experiments with jellyfish brains.
Now we are back to the Dream from which God created all that we think we see and feel.
The Creation
It is time now to have another look at the next few verses of Genesis. They read so much like a computer a basic computer programme. In fact 'Let' is a valid programme command in basic language. Thus the Bible programming could run something like this:-
- Let there be Light
- Let Light be called Day
- Let blank screen be called Night
- Toggle Day and Night
- Let Top Screen be called Heaven, Colour Blue
- Let Bottom Screen be called Water, Colour Deep Blue
- Let Land replace some of the Water
Well that's the basic idea. In practice the basic commands would be in language understood by the computer, and run to many more lines.
Having set the Scene and added life, the Great Programmer would need to store it all, and save to hard disk. Now I was going to suggest that that storage is in the mind force of every living creature, no matter how big or how small. But here is a new thought. What if, there really is a master computer, with all our DNA codes stored and programmed?
Either way, we are living in a make believe world, which is realistic far beyond any of our own virtuality games. It has been so well programmed, that both brain and mind are fooled into believing our sense of sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste, and ignoring our sixth sense.
Each living organism no matter how microscopic, nor how huge, carries the grand design. Even our Mother Earth is enriched with the means to regulate wild variations and maintain the general plan for our existence. Our World is not the dream of one soul, but a communal dream held by all. It has to be, for little changes when one soul gives up the game and returns to Reality. Remove all life from a given area, and the memory of life is gone, leaving only waste land and desert. Yet Earth, the Stage remains, ready for new players carrying a new programme.
When we look out at other planets, we see no signs of life, for we are not a part of their programme. There is no interface,Yet!
