Creation of Reality

In order to understand the changing or creation of your own individual world and self, it is necessary to first consider the first Creation. The subject of the Creation of the human race and the universe has become an emotional issue with two major camps arguing as to its origin. One camp argues that a god created everything without further changes and left it that way. The other camp argues that everything came about by chance over a long period of time starting with a single phenomenon and that everything is slowly decaying. Both camps do in fact have a commonality in truth that is based upon an initial Creation and a controlling Law. This can be seen with a bit of common sense and a bit of reading between the lines. Unfortunately both claims lead you quickly to a very pessimistic view of your life and your personal future since you are either only following a prepared script or are no different than a weed. However, suppose that you are somehow a part of the creation process and capable of further creation? This gives rise to a more optimistic third camp view that argues for an even more fundamental explanation of creation as will be described. The Appendix gives an ancient description of a control system of the third camp that exists within an individual rather than within a God or chance.

As a general introduction to creation consider it first as a control process using the six control elements discussed in Chapter Three. The Jewish model of creation, belonging to the first camp, for instance, is interesting if God is viewed as representing a control process. God has: 1) the source of power, 2) the will that controls the power, 3) sensors that 'see', 4) a comparator that says that 'it is good', 5) converters that convert the plan into reality, and 6) the plan.

The above discussion can then be compared with the view of the second camp represented largely by the scientific theory of the Big Bang creation. The 'Big Bang' model of creation however, lacks scientific detail as to how it came about. This suggests that science did not wish to sound like the religious camps by introducing anything abstract. The model however, is excellent in terms of proposing the terms of 1) basic energy and 6) the data or the Law of the universe. This model assumes a concentrated source of pure Energy out of which everything is made which corresponds very nicely to the religious power of God. Science does not describe how the other four elements are involved in the creation process. These elements are hidden from the average reader who for instance does not understand the basic teaching of Einstein's relationship, E = mc2 , which states that matter is made out of Energy. The equation is an excellent explanation of how God converted (5) his power (or his Energy) into matter. Science further separates itself from the religious model by ignoring the actuator or will (2) but obviously something did indeed actuate or trigger the big bang. The sensors (3) as well as the comparator (4) are included in the complex probability theory that essentially states that each atom or molecule contains an inner sense mechanism and tight controls that only allow certain things to happen.

The third camp accepts the common truth as to the origin of the universe having begun with Energy and Law. The third camp however, requires different definitions that include a 'why' as well as viewing creation as a continuous process. Creation will be defined as creating a future reality that contains something new. In other words, creation is the controlling or changing of the future. Creation is a special type of change in which the direction of change is known, but the details of the final result of change are not necessarily known. Creation is typified with the unexpected additions of data occurring during the steps or time of change.

To further explore the third camp view it is easier to start with your own daily experiences of creation. Consider for example, the simple desire or goal to create your own garden. Even though you begin with only a vague image of its final form, the goal of making the image real and manifest seems to drive you as you enter your yard and start digging or laying out the site of the garden. You may then go to a garden shop and browse and buy various plants or seeds for your garden. As these become planted you may again suddenly know that you need some rocks, and then perhaps a trellis followed by a surrounding hedge. Finally after a month you are receiving praise for your beautiful 'well-planned' garden. Each step toward the final creation consisted of the comparison of what was seen with the abstract starting image and then modifying what you were doing to satisfy the comparison.

You are well aware of the creative aspect of solving a problem that you have worked on for days, when suddenly a solution appears within your mind as you may be doing something completely unrelated such as taking a shower. At the moment of creation, the future is perceived as different than before and generally seen as being much broader in scope as well. Creation opens and extends the future.

As another example of a deeper inner creation, you may see a child trapped in a pile of lumber and then look for a way of releasing her. As you run toward the pile you suddenly have the image of the child being freed with one piece of wood being first removed. That piece of wood is seen as the key component toward the safe escape of the child. When you reach the pile you twist that piece and remove it, and suddenly an opening appears that releases her. Later you find that you are unable to explain how you knew what to do without further endangering the child.

In order to continue to fully discuss and understand creation it is now necessary to define reality. There is an almost universal agreement that reality consists of two interactive pieces, the non-manifest and the manifest. In the modern world these two can be described as Law and Energy. Law is the description of what is or is to be while Energy includes the different forms of energy as well as the material stuff that comprises reality as described by E = mc2 . The ancients generally described Law as the masculine or sun principle and Energy as the feminine or moon principle. The Judaic/Christian religious view kept the masculine aspect calling it God while the feminine principle became the Power of God or the Spirit.

To the ancients, both Law and Energy were the basic mystical elements and impossible to describe. They formed the beginning of a basic description of the universe and what was to be. Religions developed as means were sought to explain and control Law that was interpreted to be the source of the mystical and unexplainable occurrences.

Science developed almost in opposition to religion. The early basis for science was that everything is tangible, understandable and measurable. The materialistic sciences, such as chemistry and physics, are called 'hard sciences' because they deal strictly with measurable phenomena. The 'soft sciences' such as psychology and sociology started with the acceptance of non-measurable or subjective data but have become increasingly more concerned with the materialistic approach. Science now generally agrees that if a phenomenon is not physical or measurable then it belongs to religion and is not a part of science.

It is not too difficult then to understand the angry outbursts and writings against Einstein by those scientists smart enough to understand that the very basis of science was threatened if science had to openly acknowledge and accept the mystical as a part of science. After Einstein pointed out the fundamental mystical consideration in science, other mystical models became commonplace . Others also pointed out that the very fundamental units of science, namely mass, length, time as well as energy, were also mystical and simple extrapolations of the old earth, air, water, and fire of the ancients .

Energy however, is treated as being tangible and physical in most science textbooks, even though it is clearly proven that energy is only manifested as it changes its form such as in getting heat out of burning wood. No one knows what energy is, although its many manifestations are well known and studied. Energy still remains hidden and non-measurable when it is at rest and not changing into another form.

Law is also treated as being something other than mystical. Science speaks of discovering Law or of writing down Law, but it is seldom described in the same terms as religion even though it is exactly the same. All experiences point to the fact that Law must exist before any physical change can occur to fully describe what can and cannot take place, otherwise there could be no cause and effect. Where is this Law? It, like energy, is only made evident when a change occurs. Both religion and science falsely equate Law to writings in their sacred books or technical journals. Law still remains a mystical element since it cannot be directly perceived or examined. Law is that element that describes what can and cannot take place. Law limits the size of atoms, defines the nature of forces, describes basic particles that can be made from energy, and describes an order that must be obeyed in the cosmos by energy and its manifestations such as described by the Evolutionists.

Law and Energy can be seen as forming the basic requirements for creation. A creation requires a description of what is to be as well as the energy to make it manifest. The third camp adds the method of how this process can be carried out in a practical world.

To understand creation as a common occurrence, it must be perceived as proceeding step by step with non-existent or infinitesimal time between steps similar to the space between frames of a movie film. You may for instance be working on some problem and suddenly you perceive the answer in its completed form, or you attempt to convey an idea to someone when suddenly it happens. The normal materialistic viewpoint concerns itself with each frame and its description. Creativity requires bringing a power to the space between the steps or frames. Within this 'no-time' space occurs the full description of the next step. This sudden description of what will be is called gnosis or instant data as initially described in Chapter Nine.

The world has long held various descriptions for the gnostic source of the knowledge that is used in the creative process. In general, the explanation is based upon an assumption that there is a subtle and hidden space that contains the complete un-manifested wisdom of all that was and will be. This space has been called by many names including heaven, the ether, spirit world or the world of the gods. One of the more recent discussions of this space called the 'collective unconscious' is outlined by Carl Jung . Whatever this source of knowledge may be called, it is referred to by many of the great creative people of the world as the source of their inspiration, ideas, or knowledge.

Access to this space, whatever or wherever it may be, requires energy. References have already been made to people who have to become 'psyched up' or traumatized to do the supernormal or to find the wisdom to solve their problems. Many people have to be 'under the gun' or have to face an immediate deadline before they can create. If a person is not filled with this special energy or 'fervor', then they proceed by the slow normal analytical method of comparing pieces of the problem with known data excerpts one by one until a close description or solution can be found.

Creation is not attained with physical or mental effort and trying to be creative is non-productive and even destructive. The creative person waits for the creative process or the steps leading to creation to happen after preparing the mind with the necessary attainment of words or models that will be required to describe the creation once it arrives. Creation requires quieting the mind, the faith that the insight will arrive, and then finding the source of a higher Energy that can power the creative process. Creation in other words requires the combining of Law and Energy as described in the original Creation.

If you wish to find creativity and to create a new world or reality, it is essential that you fully understand and increase the elements used in the control process as well as accessing the gnostic source of data or Law.
