The Transcendent (Unmanifest)

The Void

The Zero, nothingness
Before anything became, the Void was.


Divinity

And then something that is not void... a shift, a tremor, the hint of a sound, the germination of possibility...
a spark in the void: First Light.
And, suddenly, darkness convulses into light. Consciousness explodes into the Void, and creation begins.

 

 


The Seraphim (Angelic Realms)


As the Divine Consciousness reaches out in that cataclysmic explosion of energy we call the Big Bang, It creates different aspects of Itself: the Shining Ones - Yin and Yang (feminine and masculine principles); ecstasy; inspiration, abundance; compassion and love; majesty, aspiration, and connection. 

 

 
Fundamental Laws 

Next to form are the fundamental laws that underpin all reality, and which human minds see as polarities. However, at the beginning, each continuum is still intact, and each part is essential for the other. Chaos is one with order, growth with decay. Time and Space form one unity, as do Light and Dark, and Life and Death. Each is a perfect whole.

 

 


Transcendent Qualities

The emanations of Divinity continue to move outward energetically, forming Qualities, some tentative, some stronger. We might see them as essence, emergence, metamorphosis, courage, guardianship and initiation. Electrical energies and emotions surge through the grid; elementals hover on invisible wings.

Consciousness now looks for a different challenge, and begins to slow down the rate of vibration (sound, light). This creates heavier, more ambivalent patterns...
 


Ambivalent Qualities
The dead walk into the Valley of Shadow; swallowed up by the eddying smoke. This is the dark night of the Soul. Finally we have the Devas of the Shadow - denial and resistance, deceit, malevolence.

The Immanent (Manifest)


The Cosmos
Divine Consciousness now gathers itself... reaches through from the Other ... and creates the cosmos: Its energy made manifest.
 


The Heavenly Bodies

From that swirling burst of gaseous energy form the stars, the nebulae and, in an obscure part of one of the magnificent spiral nebulas, our Sun flames into being.
 


The Planets

The Sun's acolytes, the planets that form around this small star, take shape. Mercury, Venus, Earth (Gaia) and her moon; Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

 

The Elements

Fire, Air, Water, Earth ... and Spirit.

 

The Seasons

 

 


The Kingdoms of Life on Earth:

Mineral, plant, animal ... and human.

 
 
 


Earth environments
The earth's environments – mountain, valley, tree, ocean, grassland and desert; cities and lightning (as an acknowledgement of weather).

 

 


The Microcosm and beyond

The seed is the gateway to the Devas of the Invisible. We can still see cells through our extended eyes, but not even the most powerful electron microscopecan can enter the atomic realm. We posit its existence only - as well as the electrons and neutrons thgat swirl around the minute nucleus. Still smaller, too small for our minds to comprehend and thus even more mysterious, we next come to the quantum level, with its paradoxical laws, its uncertainties, and constant 'zero point' energy field.

Beyond the quantum field, we encounter the most mysterious field of all, the missing mass of the universe - what scientists at present call 'dark energy'.
