the heavens : 2000

The Heavens, to which there is many, and there's also where God resides, just called Heaven, These places have eluded many, for many centuries, I will try to explain some of what I have found out.

God: A good place to start, and go both ways, God is at the very center of a Vortex and His love is Gravity, He is positive in Spirit therefore His love draws things to Him, at first very light things, then later denser things.

Lighter things: In this region is His Heaven, remember He is Spirit so dense things are not solid to Him, but then things got denser.

Denser things: This became land and water, where life began, and Flesh was created, when things got dense enough, His only begotten Son was created, this was done so Mankind could experience the lighter stuff of God, and that was called Understanding.!

Lets go back to Genesis, right at the beginning God created the HEAVEN and the Earth, that's also when He created the Spirit, Anti-matter and substance, Matter, this came in many ways such as physical and mental, all manifestation of the central consciousness or thoughts.

But the Earth was with out form, void and in darkness, deep darkness, and Anti-matter move upon it and the reflecting waters or collectors felt this movement, this began the universal consciousness, the deep became the subconscious, the shallow became the consciousness, this was when thoughts begin to go in an outward direction from its source, this to was the beginning of carnal mind which later became carnal self.

Next He created Divine Illumination, so called it Light, there was no darkness in Him, yet He divided His light from darkness, which means He put a bridge between awareness and the lack of awareness so there's only two things, and they are Awareness or Blindness, this is also Good and Evil, so if you walk in light your good, the light is the light of the mind, so if you walk in darkness, you need Understanding to find the light, this is also a heaven, "the mind," and everything in the physical world comes from the Mind!

God called the light day and the darkness He called night, and that was the evening and the morning called the first day. Day = a degree of unfoldment in consciousness; that's illumined consciousness and divine illumination.

God said, let there be a Firmament in the midst of the Waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters, Firmament = to make firm, to make solid, a foundation; Firm unwavering place in consciousness; a firm foundation of faith. Waters = the fluiddic Mind; movement in consciousness; "face of the deep" indicates universal consciousness, also it applies to the mapology teachings and the tectonic plates in the solid world, but here we will call it Faith, a firm place to separate believers and non believers, because God called the Firmament Heaven, and this is still not the heavens that we know about. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

He said, let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. He called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters He called seas, Why not just water it was called just Earth, one reason is in the physical world the land mass had been broke up so the water would flow into many areas yet all connected and so He called them seas: and God saw that it was good. Earth = the outer manifestation; as in heaven, so on the earth means as within, so without. If man is to look within to find God, who is in His heaven, we would have to look to the center of the Earth to find God and His heaven would also be there. As our heavens are above us we in our world are above Him in His, our world is an over flow from His, caused by Lucifer, but that's another part of this story. Sea = the vast undifferentiated Substance of Mind; universal Mind; the sea of Mind; the deep universal subconscious mind.

He also said, let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself upon the earth: and it was so, think of this grass and herb and trees as ideas that spring up from the subconscious to the conscious mind, and He saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day. Morning = the light (illumination) that comes to the soul after a long period of darkness; the new fresh inspiration, such as "joy cometh in the morning."

Lets rehash for a moment the second day or step, in the development of faith or the firmament, the waters or collectors represent the Un-established elements of the mind. This second day's creation is the second movement of Divine Mind. The central idea in this day's creation is to establish a firmament in the midst of the "waters" dividing the waters from the waters, represents unexpressed possibilities in mind. There must be a "firm" starting point or foundation established. This foundation or "firmament" is faith "moving upon" the unformed capacities of Spirit consciousness. The Divine Logos-God as creative power gives forth the edict "Let there be a firmament. "the first step or "day" in creation involves "light" or understanding, and the second step, faith in the knowing quality of mind. "This does the same process in the physical world but for now lets stay in the invisible realm of mental images in the Divine Mind, which deals only with ideas. In every mental state we have an "above and below." Above the firmament are the unexpressed capacities ("waters") of the conscious mind resting in faith in Divine Mind. Below the firmament are the unexpressed capacities ("waters") of subconscious mind. The word "Heaven" is capitalized in this passage "Gen. 1:8" because it relates directly to Divine Mind. Faith ("firmament") established in consciousness is a state of perfect harmony, therefore Heaven. Another degree of mind unfoldment has been obtained. And there was evening and morning , a second day. Evening represents completion, and the morning following represents activity of ideas.

The third day or step in creation is the beginning of the formative activity of the mind called imagination. This gathers "the waters … together unto one place" so that the "dry land" appears. Then the imagination begins a great multiplication of forms and shapes in the mind. The first day's creation reveals the light or inspiration of Spirit. The second day establishes faith in our possibilities to bring forth the invisible. The third day's creation or third movement of Divine Mind pictures the activity of ideas in the mind. This is called expression. The formative power of the mind is the imagination, whose work here represented by dry land. There is much unformed thought in mind ("heavens") that must be separated from the formed. In this proclamation "earth" is the mental image of formed thought and does not refer to the manifest world, it will also be connected that way as well later on.

God is Divine and deals with only ideas. "Seas" represents the unformed state of mind. We may say a man is at sea when he is in doubt in his mental processes. In other words he has not established his thoughts in line with the principle involved. The sea is capable of production, but most come under the dominion of the imagination. Divine Mind images its ideas definitely and in every detail. The idea precedes the fulfillment. "Let there be" represents the perfect confidence necessary to demonstration. Ideas are productive and bring forth after their kind. They express themselves through Divine Imagery. The seed is within the thought and is reproduced through thought activity until thought habits are formed. Thoughts become fixed in the earth or formed consciousness. In Divine Mind all is good. Again a degree of mind unfoldment has been attained. Man, in forming his world, goes through the same mental process, and the Earth does the same thing in a physical unfoldment and in its processes, all is working under Divine law. Jesus said, "the seed is the word of God."

The fourth step in creation is development of "two great lights," the will and understanding, or the sun (the spiritual I am) and the moon (the intellect). These are but reflectors of the true light; for God had said, "let there be light: and there was light" , before the sun and moon were created.

The "firmament of heaven" is the consciousness of truth that has been formulated and established. In the second day's creation a firmament was established in heaven (realm of divine ideas). This firmament divides the day (illuminated consciousness) from the night (un-illuminated consciousness). Through faith the "lights" are established; that is understanding begins to unfold. The "signs," "seasons," and "day's and years" represents different stages of unfoldment. We gain understanding by degrees. The earth represents the more external processes, through which an idea passes, and corresponds to the activities of an idea in mind. In man the "earth" is the body consciousness, which in its real nature is the harmonious expression of ideas established in faith-substance. "and it was so"; that is an idea from divine consciousness is instantly fulfilled.

The "greater light," in mind, is understanding and the "lesser light" is the will. The greater light rules "the day," that realm of consciousness which has been illuminated by Spirit. The lesser light rules "the night," that is the will; which has no illumination ("light" or day") but whose office is to execute the demands of understanding. The will does not reason, but in its harmonious relation acts easily and naturally upon the inspiration of Spirit. Divine will expresses itself as the I AM in man. The "stars" represents man's perspective faculties, including his ability to perceive weight, size, color, sound, and the like. Through concentrating any of the faculties ("stars") at its localizing point one may come into an understanding of its action. Divine Mind first images the idea then perceives its fulfillment. Man in co-operation with Divine Mind, places himself under this same law and thus brings his ideas into manifestation. ( compare to Gen. 1:14 - 19.

The fifth step in creation is the bringing forth of sensation and discrimination. The "creatures" are thoughts. The "birds.. in the open firmament of heaven" are ideas approaching spiritual understanding. "Water" represents the unformed substance of life, always as a fecundating element in which ideas ("living creatures") increase and multiply, just as the earth produces a crop when sown with seed. The "birds" represents the liberated thoughts or ideas of mind (heaven). In connection with the body, "water" represents the fluids of the organism. The "sea monsters" are life ideas that swarm in these fluids. Here is pictured Divine Mind creating the original body idea, imagined in the 20th verse of Gen.1. Idea, expression and manifestation are the steps involved in bringing anything forth under Divine law. The stamp of good is placed upon divine ideas and their activity in substance. In the fifth day's creation ideas of discrimination and judgment are developed. The fishes and fowls represents ideas of life working in mind, but they must be properly related to the unformed (seas) and the formed (earth) worlds of mind. When an individual is well balanced in mind and body, there is an equalizing force flowing in the consciousness, and harmony is in evidence. Another orderly degree of mind unflodment is fulfilled. Another step in spiritual growth is worked out in consciousness when the individual enters into the quickening of his judgment and seeks to conform his ideas to those of Divine Mind.

The sixth step in creation is the bringing forth of ideas after their kind. When man approaches created level in his thought, he is getting close to God in his consciousness, and then the realization that he is the very image and likeness of his Creator dawns upon him. This is the consciousness in man of Christ. On the sixth day of creation ideas of life are set into activity. "cattle" represents ideas of strength established in substance. "creeping things" represent ideas of life that are more subtle in their expression, approaching closer to the realm of sense. They are the micro-organisms. The "beasts" stand for the free energies of life that relate themselves to sensations. Divine ideas are always instantly set into activity: "and it was so ". Underlying all these ideas related to sensation, which in their original purity are simply ideas of life functioning in substance, is the divine idea of life. When life is expressed in divine order it is pronounced good. What is termed "sense consciousness" in man is not to be condemned but lifted up to its rightful place. "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so the son of man be lifted up; that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life." When the ideas of life are properly related to love and wisdom, man will find in eternal satisfaction instead of sense pleasure. Wisdom and love are the two qualities of being that, coming together, declare, "let us make man in our image, after our likeness. "this is the mental of man, which in Truth we call the Christ. The Christ man has dominion over every idea emanating from Divine Mind.

The creation described in these days or six "steps" or stages of God-Mind is wholly spiritual and should not be confounded with the manifestation of past pages. God is mind and all His works are created in mind as perfect ideas. This statement of mans creation, "and God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Has always been a puzzle to people who read the scriptures literally. The apparent man is so at variance with the description that they cannot reconcile them. Theologians to admit that the Garden of Eden story was an allegory, and now they are including the whole book of Genesis. But this is more than an allegory; it is a description of the idea creation. In their calculations, engineers often use mathematical symbols, like the letters x, y, and z, to represent quantities not yet given precise determination but carried along for development at the proper time. Involved in these symbols are ideas that are to be brought out in their proper order and made visible when the engineer's plans are objectified. So man plans in mind that which he proposes to build. First the idea, then the visible. This is the process through which all creation passes. God makes all things in His mind first, which is involution; then they are made into form and shape, and this is evolution. In some such way then we can think of a man as represented by an "X" in God's plan or calculations. God is carrying man along in his Mind as an ideal quantity, "much like man carrying God along in his mind" we or the image-and-likeness man of His creation, and His divine plan is dependent for its success on the manifestation by man of this idea. The divine plan is furthered by the constant idealism that keeps man moving forward to higher and higher achievements. The image-likeness man pours into "mankind" a perpetual steam of ideas that the individual man arranges as thought and forms as substance and life. While this evolutionary process is going on there seems to be two men, one ideal and spiritual and the other intellectual and material, which are united at the consummation, the ideal man, Christ.

When the mind attains an understanding of certain creative facts, of man's creative powers, it has established a directive, intelligent center that harmonizes these two men (ideal and spiritual vs. Intellectual and material). This directive center may be named the I AM. It is something more than the human I. Yet when this human I has made union with the image-and-likeness I, the true I AM comes into action, and this is the Christ Jesus, the Son of God, evolved and made visible in creation according to divine law. God ideated two universal planes of consciousness, "the heavens and the earth." One is the realm of pure ideas, the other thought forms. God does not create the visible universe directly, as a man makes a concrete pavement, but He creates the ideas that are used by His intelligent "image and likeness" to make the universe. Thus God's creations are always spiritual. Man's creations are both material and spiritual, according to his understanding. Mental activity in Divine Mind represents two phases: first, conception of the idea, and secondly, expression of the idea. In every idea conceived in mind there is first the quickening spirit of life, followed by the increase of the idea in substance. Wisdom is the "male" or expressive side of being, while love is the "female" or receptive side of being. Wisdom is the father quality of God and love is the mother quality. In every idea there exist these two qualities of mind, which unite to increase and bring forth under divine law. Divine Mind blessed the union of wisdom and love and pronounced upon them the increase of spirit. When wisdom and love are unified in the individual consciousness, man is a master of ideas and brings forth under the original creative law. "seed" represents fundamental ideas having within themselves reproductive capacity. Every idea is a seed which, sown in the substance of mind, becomes the real food upon which man is nourished. Man has access to the seed ideas of Divine Mind, and through prayer and mediation he quickens, appropriates the substance of those ideas, which were originally planted in his I AM by the parent mind. Provision is made for the substance of all the ideas emanating from Divine Mind. The primitive forms of life are fed upon "herbs"; they have a sustaining force that is food to them, even the appropriation of divine ideas is food to man. Divine Mind, being All-Good itself, sees only its own creation as good. As man co-operates more fully with Divine Mind, imaging only that which is good, he to behold his production with the "single" eye sees them only as good. The sixth step in creation is the concentration, in man, of all the ideas of Divine Mind. Man is given authority and dominion over all ideas. Thus is completed another step in mind unfoldment.

In six mental steps or "movements," called days, Elohim God creates the spiritual universe and spiritual man. He then rests. He has created the ideas or patterns of the formed universe. In the second chapter of Genesis you will find Jehovah God executing what Elohim God created or ideated. In the Hebrew the name Jehovah means, "I am." We identify Jehovah, as the I AM, the spiritual man, image and likeness of Elohim God. But Jehovah, spiritual man, must be made manifest, so He forms a man called Adam.

Now this Elohim God I deem as the vortex working from the outside , like the Spirit outside of the body, though its outside, it directs it's power to come from within, this within is the formed "I AM" and Jehovah God is the illumination and gravity or the source at the center of all things elated by Elohim God. Thus we have the heavens and the Heaven of God can be explained by starting at Genesis 1:1 once more, or maybe one verse before it, lets call it Spirit 1:7 so verse 7 would read "The vortex called Elohim created illumination called Jehovah, says the ancient of age." This might make you ask what came before this verse? Verse 6 might read like this "There was a vortex that lead to mankind." And verse 5 might read "As there is many vortex ," then verse 4 might say "We will speak only of the vortex that creates worlds or earth's." and verse 3 could say "Each vortex has its own mission in Spirit existence." Verse 2 then would say "The lines of force in Spirit create different types of vortex" so verse 1 might say "The ancient of age works within the Spiritual realm." But lets get back to the story at hand Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God ("Ancient of Age, Elohim, Jehovah") created the heaven and the earth. For the sake of the readers think of God as a dot on a sheet of paper for the more imaginative people think of a tiny bright light inside of a Christmas ornament, only the ornament is mirrored on the inside, so that all light is flowing back in upon itself, this dot or light is God, the distance from the dot or the light to the circle around the dot or the mirrored image around the light, is heaven, God's Heaven!

Mind is heaven, that's why when we receive Understanding it comes through the mind, God is in that mind as its His mind to, except His mind is the sum total of all of life's mind at one time, we are fed through that mind at all times.

"And the earth was with out form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Between the mirrored image and the outside of the ornament is the waters this would be between the width of the line on the circle, if God moved on the waters something moved from God, at the center out towards the mirrored image or waters, or line on the paper, this He talks about later. In verse 3. He said let there be light, but we know that God is light or Jehovah, so Elohim created Jehovah or light and this light was divided from the darkness, so here we have the light inside the ornament, inside here, God "Jehovah" hadn't seen the darkness yet, He was illuminated and no darkness was found in Him. But outside the ornament was formless and void because light had never penetrated the darkness so there was no life yet, only thought, anyway the light was good He called light day and darkness night, first age passes.

In the second age verse 6. He creates a firmament to divide the waters from the waters, that's the shell of the ornament or the line in the drawing and the waters are on each side the Earth will be the outside and heaven is on the inside. So He made this firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament and He called the firmament Heaven, now the waters under the firmament "which will be the surface of the Earth" be gathered together unto one place, and let dry land appear and its this dry land that He called Earth and the waters He called seas. That puts heaven beneath our feet and the heavens above our heads, now back to heaven God the Light, was alone and wanted company in His world of light, so He created another light called Christ a Spirit and in doing so he also created an opposite light very beautiful, called Lucifer, until this time all was good. But Lucifer moved out of God's gravity or love and in doing so was cast outward into outer darkness, well here is the Lucifer story, he left God at the center and moved outward from Him when he reached the waters he moved them but went right on through, out through the ornament's shell to the out side, to the darkness, the void, the surface of the Earth that God created from within, and at that moment light came out into the physical world that had until now been void and in darkness, But also at that same time God saw darkness for the very first time, this penetration caused by Lucifer created physical forms on the surface of this planet Earth. Lucifer, even the name implied what had happened, God the center light that created Christ the Positive aspect also created Lucifer the negative aspect, like the nucleus of the atom, being circled by the protons , neutrons and electrons, in this story the protons are Christ and the electrons are Lucifer, and that leaves the Holy Ghost and he's neutral, so call him the neutrons. While these three were circling God, one of the spheres, the electron, broke orbit and became a loose sphere "Lucifer" which caused all physical things we have today.

All of the writings here come from my earthly and heavenly fathers, and they love us very much.
