Chapter 1.
“1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
In the beginning, God defined the laws that define the existence of the material world, and the material world appeared.
“2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
The material world was lifeless in the beginning. The world existed without consciousness, but consciousness already existed. Consciousness is neither in the material world nor in the world of laws. It existed before all of these, because the Spirit is not listed among the created things.
“3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
God defined intellect, which recognizes the relationships between the laws.
“4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.”
And God saw that intellect fulfills the purpose for which He defined it, and He separated conscious existence from unconscious existence. The growth of knowing is the growth of light.
“5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
God named the conscious I Day, and the unconscious I He named Night. According to the days, the unconscious will become conscious in sequence. According to the structure of the laws, unconscious content becomes conscious.
“6. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
God defined another law: the present became perceptible and established, in which the laws became capable of being experienced. Thus, by moving through time, the laws became capable of being known by consciousness.
“7. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.”
God defined the conditions of time, and through the present He separated the past from the future. The present became the reality that can be experienced, which we are capable of perceiving through our senses.
“8. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.”
God called the present Heaven. And within the present, the reality that can be experienced appeared as an unending process, in which the laws that define existence appear for the Human through experiences.
“9. 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.”
God defined the sequence of experiences that appear in the present and through which the laws become capable of being experienced by consciousness.
“10. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas: and God saw that it was good.”
God called the experiences that appear in the present — the place of knowing — Earth, and the endless sequence of experiences He called Seas. God saw that His definitions fulfilled their purpose in practice.
“11. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, in which is its seed upon the earth: and it was so.”
God defines the types of experiences: the fundamental processes of life, the recurring processes whose results make their repetition possible, and the processes that provide usable knowledge, which, once known, we can also bring about and use.
“12. 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.”
The processes that define life also appear in matter: the recurring, self-reproducing processes, and the processes that can be known through our experiences, whose fundamental conditions we come to know and understand and which become usable for us. God sees that the experiences created reveal the laws of the world to the Human, and that the Human will be capable of knowing and understanding them.
“13. And the evening and the morning were the third day.”
And the sequence of experiences defined by God appeared in the world, which the Human will come to know through its experiences, through its intellect and emotions, as God defined it.
“14. 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”
God determines the effect of intellect and emotion on the I, which separates known knowledge from knowable knowledge, which is unconscious. He also determines the elements of knowledge that can be acquired, linking their knowing to concrete experiences. Knowing is an experience of success, a feast for the conscious I. Experiences that confirm our knowledge give certainty regarding our knowledge, an unshakable faith, knowledge that has been formulated concretely and confirmed.
“15. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.”
God ordains that intellect and emotions reveal the laws through our experiences lived in the present.
“16. 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.”
God determined that our acquired knowledge should determine our conscious I, while the content of the unconscious, the emotions, should determine our unconscious I, and that the elements of knowledge that we come to know through experiences are determined separately.
“17. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,”
God places the cognitive capacity of intellect and emotion in the eternal present; in the light of consciousness, the meaning of our experiences lived in the material world is revealed.
“18. 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.”
Our experiences lead us to understanding; we come to know conscious and unconscious existence by identifying with what we are able to understand. With our emotions, however, we identify that which we do not (yet) know. God sees that this is accomplished, because He sees creation in its entirety, not on a timeline as we do.
“19. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.”
And intellect, emotion, and concrete laws appear in the world in a form knowable through consciousness.
“20. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life; and let birds fly above the earth, across the face of the firmament of heaven.”
God defines emotions and laws as information in a form that can be comprehended by consciousness.
“21. And God created great sea creatures, and all those creeping creatures that swarm in the waters after their kind, and every kind of winged bird after its kind. And God saw that it was good.”
And emotions and information appear in the world, as well as interpretations consisting of information, which already have meaning for intellect. God sees that, as time progresses, consciousness comes to know all this.
“22. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas; and let the birds multiply on the earth.”
God defines the appearance of emotions, which, in the sequence of experiences, bring forth the laws that are unconsciously present, while the growth of information, within the experiences lived in the present, is assembled with the help of intellect into concrete definitions for the conscious I.
“23. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.”
In the sequence of experiences, the laws that are currently to be known appear as information, while unknown laws appear for consciousness in the form of emotions. Emotions and information are associated with every experience, at every time and in every place, with every experience of every Human.
