Day 87: Review - Lessons 73 & 74

Day 73: I will there be light.

Day 74: There is no will but God’s.

“I will there be light.”  These were the first words expressed by God.  Though the Bible says, “Let there be light,” this phrase is much too passive to have come from our Creator.  “I will there be light” is an assertion of God’s power, His choice to bring Light unto existence.

Of course, there really was no Beginning.  Nor will there be an End.  These would defy the laws of Infinity.  God is always and forever expressing His Will that there Be Light, for God is Eternal.  Time is a concept only of the physical world – a context through which we are able to grow and experience our individuated Aspects of Divinity (see Day 86 for more clarification on this).

Scientists theorize that the Big Bang occurred approximately 13.75 billion years ago.  This is the supposed “beginning” of our universe’s creation.  Yet new evidence suggests that the universe, as we know it, is one of many.

What this implies is that our universe was created by an even Greater Force, a larger Field of Energy.  Who’s to say that this Force doesn’t continue on and on and on, giving birth to universes upon universes, which then give form to galaxies, which produce stars, then planets, then Life…?  Even within our physical bodies, there is an infinite degree of composition – from our organs to our tissues to our cells to our molecules to our atoms and beyond, until all there is is Energy.  This is the same Energy, the same Force, causing the expansion of our own universe.  Yes, God is indeed Infinite.  Creation is forever extending outward and forever drawing inward.  What we call “The Universe” is actually just another one of God’s creations, a manifestation of His Light.

As God and His Universes are Infinite in number, then all there is – all there was, and all there ever will be – is Light.  Such is God’s will.  It can be our own as well.

We can make the choice to see the Light, or we can choose to turn our backs on it.  Doing so doesn’t eliminate its existence, but it does blind us to Reality.  Light is Reality.  Darkness is illusion.  As such, the only True Will is that of God’s.  As His Divine Creations, we have been given free will.  We are reflections of God, and as God’s Will is free, so is ours.  Thus, we can choose to blind ourselves by continuing to face the dark, or we can accept God’s Will as All There Really Is and live our lives in Light.  Our free will will remain, for the creations of God’s Light are Infinite – as the ever-expanding universes outside us and within us confirm.

God wills there be light so that we may See.  To See is to experience.  And to experience our individuated Aspects of Divinity is nothing short of Joyous, as long as we do not forget the presence of that Light in all of us, in everything and everywhere.

Until tomorrow,
