"In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the
Word was
God.
The same was in
the beginning with
God.
All things
were made by him; and without him was not any thing made
that was made."
(Bible,
John 1:1-3)
<1>In
truth all Scriptures should start with the three verses above (John
1:1-3) which imply that there has been a beginning for all things
and there are
creative forces
from which all things are made.
<2>The
three
creative forces
(three gunas)
cannot be separated from the consciousness. They are one and
inseparable. They are two sides of one entity.
<3>Creative
forces without consciousness cannot be directed and used, and
consciousness without
creative forces
has no creativity but merely "IS," without knowledge, ability
(doing) or remembrance.
<4>In
the beginning the operative powers of these three
creative forces
were not released but were in a balanced state (
).
<5>So the universe was in a state of
"Be"-ness
(symmetric). <6>Through the desire of God, their operative
powers were released.
<7>Because
of the operative power of the
satva guna (sentient
force) and presence of the active
tama guna (crudifying
force), the feeling of "I
know" was awakened and spread in the universe. <8>The
first part of the
ego
was evolved.
<9>Because
of the operative power of the
raja guna (mutative
force) and presence of the active
tama guna, the feeling of "I
do" was created and spread in the universe. <10>The
second part of the
ego
came into existence.
<11>Through
the influence of the operative power of the
tama guna (crudifying
force), the first state of ethereal factor (fine ether) evolved and
the memory as "I
have done" was felt. <12>So the
ego
became complete. <13>This process continued until the
unit
consciousnesses (individual
egos) were evolved. A manifestation of the Divine (Spark of
Light) through gross
form (body), is individualized
ego
(Illusion), separated from
God.
<14>With
this, each
unit consciousness
is felt separately as "I" which "knows," "does," and "has done."
<15>So because of the influence of the
tama guna as "I,"
the universal consciousness was divided into infinite
unit
consciousnesses as separate "I"s.
<16>As
the
tama guna becomes
more dominant, the feeling of separation becomes greater and this
results in
self-centeredness, which
is the cause of
all sufferings, miseries, confusions, and chaos.
<17>Before
the release of the operative powers of the
three gunas,
there was no vibration in the universe. <18>By the release of
their operative powers and because of the influence of the
raja guna,
vibration was created.
<19>The manifested universe indeed is vibration in different
stages. <20>Vibration is sound. <21>This sound
vibration or the creative power in the universe in the operative
state is "The Word"
(
).
<22>It is the part and parcel of
God, which "was with
God, and the Word was
God," and "All things
are made by him [It]."
