<1>Now through the
crudifying force
(centripetal
force in nature, or
tama guna), <2>God
could crudify these divided consciousnesses. <3>Those in
higher levels, by this process of crudification, would create the
first two elements in the universe. The cruder ether and aerial
(gaseous) factors, which are the most invisible factors in the
manifested world, are called "Heaven." <4>With this, the second period of the struggle was
finished, "and the evening and the morning were the second day."
"And God
said, Let the waters
under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the
dry land appear: and it was so." (Genesis 1:9)
<5>Through this centripetal or
crudifying force
("gathered together") by the use of the crudest consciousnesses ("waters
under the heaven"), the solid factor (dry land) would be made.
"And God
called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the
waters called he Seas:
and
God saw that it was
good." (Genesis 1:10)
<6>God
called the dry land "Earth" (solid factor), <7>and by
crudifying
("gathering together") more sentient consciousnesses ("waters")
(but still under the firmament), many levels of liquid factor ("Seas") would
be created. <8>God
was very pleased with this process.
<9>The luminous factor (heat, fire) also was
created,
<10>but this element is almost an exception, because it is in
the brink between the unseen and seen elements. <11>That is
why although fire is the first visible element in the universe, it
disappears as soon as it appears. <12>It is the third element
in nature and is crude enough to be seen but subtle enough to
disappear (dissolve) into the higher elements. It is
the firmament.
"And God
said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and
the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in
itself, upon the earth: and it was so." (Genesis 1:11)
<13>With the help of the
centrifugal
force (the opposite of the
centripetal force) by loosening up the
crudifying power of the
static force, and by use of the five elements, the plants would
be manifested.
"And the earth brought forth grass, and herb
yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose
seed was in itself, after his kind: and
God saw that it was
good." (Genesis 1:12)
<14>God
planned the creation of the grass, herbs, and trees, and
God was pleased with
this Plan.
<15>He created them in the ethereal stage, in His
Mind, and He saw and
knew it was possible to create them in the physical state later.
<16>He would create them in a self-sustaining
manner. They would continue the evolutionary progress without
interference. That is why "whose seed was in itself, after his
kind."
"And the evening and the morning were the third
day." (Genesis 1:13)
<17>The third period of the struggle was
finished.
"And God
said, Let there be lights
in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and
let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:"
(Genesis 1:14)
<18>Now
God
was planning to create the sun and the moon. <19>He wanted to
create them for signs (astrology, navigation, etc.), for dividing
days from nights, for seasons, and for years. <20>So the Day
and Night which were mentioned before are different than these. God
decided that the light in the sky (Heaven) for recognizing day and
night, etc., was necessary for the earth in this stage.
<21>Light is necessary for plants and life,
so the sun and moon were planned to be created.
"And let them be for lights in the firmament of
the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so." (Genesis
1:15)
<22>These lights would be able to some degree
to enlighten the humans about their conditions. They are lights
(knowledge) in the firmament of the heaven, which give
light (knowledge) upon the earth (by studying these lights we
can predict and understand the phases and their effects on our
lives, and we can gain some knowledge from them, environmentally or
astrologically).
"And God
made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the
lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." (Genesis
1:16)
<23>Therefore,
God
would create the sun, the moon, and the stars. They were necessary
for the
evolution of the
creation.
"And God
set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the
earth," (Genesis 1:17)
<24>He would put them in the sky to give
their
light (light as
light and as
knowledge) to the earth.
<25>Also for growing grass and other life on earth and in the
universe, these lights would be necessary.
"And to rule over the day and over the night, and
to divide the
light from the
darkness: and
God saw that it was
good." (Genesis 1:18)
<26>They rule over the physical day and
night,
<27>as well as reveal a limited knowledge (day) to humanity
(astrologically or environmentally),
<28>and a limited
ignorance (night) by our not understanding the knowledge they
reveal to us. <29>God
was pleased with His creation.
"And the evening and the morning were the fourth
day." (Genesis 1:19)
<30>The fourth phase was finished.
"And God
said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that
hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open
firmament of heaven." (Genesis 1:20)
<31>Then
God
planned to create creatures of the oceans and seas, and the birds. Animal life started from the sea.
<32>The plants were necessary for animal
life. But before the plants were created, the sun had to be formed. Plants needed sunshine. <33>Here it is shown that all these
verses are a sequence of planning for creation step-by-step. Each
step is perfected with a new decision necessary for creation and its
ultimate goal.
"And God
created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which
the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every
winged fowl after his kind: and
God saw that it was
good." (Genesis 1:21)
<34>God
created animals of the waters and birds of the air, and
God was pleased with
them.
"And God
blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters
in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth." (Genesis 1:22)
<35>God
blessed them and wished them to be multiplied in the waters and on
the earth.
"And the evening and the morning were the fifth
day." (Genesis 1:23)
<36>The plan of the fifth phase of creation
was finished.
"And God
said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind,
cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind:
and it was so." (Genesis 1:24)
<37>Animal life on earth is considered here. Later on
God planned to create
higher conscious animals, such as cattle, and it was so.
"And God
made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their
kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind:
and
God
saw that it was good." (Genesis 1:25)
<38>God
created these higher conscious animals in the ethereal state and was
pleased with them.
