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.
