In the Beginning…

In the Beginning…

"In the beginning...," it does not mean a phenomenon happening somewhere back in time, but rather an original state in the sense of "initially." It is only when we have become conscious of how far we have deviated from our actual, original condition that there can be a connection to the past. This is true religion (relegate = turning back).

Hajo Banzhaf

In the beginning was the unconditioned awareness of being, and the unconditioned awareness of being became conditioned by imaging itself to be something, and the unconditioned awareness of being became that which it had imagined itself to be; so did creation begin.

By this law – first conceiving, then becoming that conceived – all things evolve out of  No-thing; and without this sequence there is not anything made that is made.

Before the world was - I AM. When all of time shall cease to be - I AM. I AM the formless awareness of being conceiving myself to be man. By my everlasting law of being I am compelled to be and to express all that I believe myself to be.

I AM the eternal No-thingness containing within my formless self the capacity to be all things. I AM that in which all my conceptions of myself live and move and have their being, and apart from which they are not.

I dwell within every conception of myself; from this withinness I ever seek to transcend all conceptions of myself. By the very law of my being I transcend my conceptions of myself, only as I believe myself to be that which does transcend.

I AM the law of being and beside ME there is no law. I AM that I AM.

God (thought/consciousness) spoke the Word and brought everything into being out of himself. Everything you perceive is made of the one substance - God. The one substance back of everything is energy and that is God or the "Word".

The Word is thought or imagination. God imagined the world into being and became that which He conceived. This is the principle on which all creation rests. Since God became man to give man life, man must contain that same creative principle within himself. "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." We have created our personal world through thought. If you are experiencing lack, limitation, illness, disharmony or any other unwanted condition, you have either consciously or unconsciously brought these conditions into your own experience. The majority of people do not realize that thought, belief, and imagination has created their individual worlds. There is no other cause for the conditions of your life. You may choose to disbelieve this, but whether you believe it or not, all that you behold in the outer world was conceived within your own consciousness prior to your experience of it.

Your Faith is your Fortune
