Earth Revelations 2012
by Ben Vaughan |
If we look at this Hebrew word Elohim
that gets translated as God in the Old Testament, we find that
the structure of the word is feminine and plural. At the least,
the word should get translated as “Gods” and the pronoun reference should be “She.” What
exactly is this plurality of receptive/feminine Divine energy?
If “now” is the correct reading for the first word
in Genesis then this plurality of Divine energy must be available
and present to anyone who is reading the text. The reader of the
text then becomes personally involved as a co-creator with this
Divine energy. This meaning then implies that the act of reading
invokes the human imagination in the “now” which is
the essence of every act of creation. Of course, we can all invoke
our imagination at will, but it is the act of reading that defines
the purity, or the potency, of the human imagination.
In fact, if we are to make bold conclusions, the text is equating
this Elohim of feminine plurality with the Human Imagination itself.
Its plurality is the meaning of abundance and imagination is standard
equipment in all human beings. It is imagination that is to get
invoked in our spiritual reading and it is imagination that we
are to use in our art of creating. The result of manifestation
then requires that the contents of imagination appear in the physical
world.
How relevant could the Bible be if we read Human Imagination in
place of the word God?
Returning to our infamous first verse, if we throw out the historical
reference to “in the beginning” then we are surely
not talking about creating places called heaven and earth either.
If these are not places, then what are they?
Intuitively we can connect with the feeling that there could be
two parallel “now’s”, one referred to as heavenly
and one as earthly. For example, one’s soul might be said
to accumulate experience over many lives through time. We would
not look to a calendar to give meaning to this time reference. |
“In the beginning” has caused a great deal of trouble
over its life-time. As soon as the reader interprets “in
the beginning” within the context of history, the spiritual
relevance and personal reverence of the message is overlooked.
In a sense then, these first words of Genesis have locked the collective
of human beings’ thinking and reasoning minds into the world
of illusion, or maya.
In fact, if the reader were truly searching for spiritual relevance
in the first verse of Genesis, “in the beginning” certainly
could be read as “now.” If “now” were the
allowed reading, then we could interpret the meaning of the text
in a more receptive way, allowing the words their current potency
in order to inspire us. And “now” would be an excellent
way to begin a text on the subject of creation, or what would better
be called manifestation.
Manifestation, as I am using the term, occurs in the context of
Time and the process of creation does not, necessarily. For example,
anyone can create through the spiritual organ called imagination
and with that function can imagine anything that is available from
their experience. On the other hand, as long as the ego, the personal
I, maintains its identity in the physical form, objects that are
to be obtained in the world must be manifested into appearance
and the concrete world of facts. In order for energy to be objectified
on the earth plane, it must be manifested, that is it must appear
within the context of time. Of course, the most important context
of time is “now” as in, I want my money now.
But who creates manifestation? Genesis’ translators say that
it is God who creates. Who would argue that Divine energy is required
in order to even have creation? But a creator would have to have
personality. How else would a being know what to create? Creation
flowing into manifestation requires someone wanting something specific
that is obviously separated from them. In terms of language, there
must be a subject who “begins” with a want, and there
must be an object of this want. The appearance of this object in
time is manifestation. |
