Creation—Path of the Soul

Reason for Creation

The pure light of the Cosmic Consciousness, desiring to order and transmute that part of itself that was the disordered, dark light, needed to touch upon and take hold of the dark light so it could transmute that dark light and bring it into the order and harmony of itself.

But the Cosmic Consciousness found that, because it was in order and harmony and the dark light was out of harmony and in disorder in relationship to it, when the light tried to touch upon the dark light it would be repulsed. The Divine Light was too bright to be able to touch upon the dark light directly.

So the Divine Light sought to dim or fade itself in intensity by extending to and meeting with the darkness and then take hold of and transmute that disordered light into its own perfect ordered harmonious state.

The Light, therefore, conceived of a way to grow fainter, step by step, until its light was faint enough to touch upon the darkness. By extending itself outward in steps toward the darkness, with each step becoming fainter than the last, the light of the Cosmic could become dim enough to touch upon the darkness.

This is accomplished through what is called creation.

This is the only reason for creation.

There is a reason behind everything. To be able to touch upon the darkness is the reason for creation.

One part of God, the Cosmic, is the light. The other part of God is darkness in relation to the light. However, both are from the same source, the Void, and both are God.

The light desired to combine with the darkness in order to change the darkness into light, but the light was too bright to touch upon the darkness directly. The light needed to dim itself so it wasn’t quite as bright and then it could touch upon the darkness.

We can say it is like holding a lit candle in a vast dark cave. The candle flame is the light, the Cosmic. At the far reaches of the cave is pure darkness, or the dark light. The flame of the candle cannot touch directly upon the darkness in the cave.

But, the further the light moves away from the flame, the fainter the light becomes until finally the light and the darkness intermingle because they are of the same intensity.

The light moving away from the candle and getting fainter the further away it is from the flame is what is called creation on a Cosmic scale.

Creation is nothing more than a dimmer switch for the Cosmic light to become less intense.

As the light moves outward from the candle flame, it reflects into the darkness causing the same effect to take place in the darkness. Where the light gets fainter the further it is from the flame, the darkness gets brighter the closer it moves toward the light. Halfway between the pure light and the pure darkness, the light and the darkness become the same in intensity and the light touches the darkness and the darkness touches the light at this point.

Where the light and the darkness are of the same intensity is the point of the furthest extension of the light from the candle flame. To this point of equal intensity, is also the furthest extension of the darkness. This is because the light reflecting into the darkness creates the same fade-out/fade-in in the darkness.

This is what the Cosmic conceived. It would extend outward toward the darkness in that space between the light and the darkness and the further the Cosmic extended outward in this space, the fainter its light would become. As the light extended outward, its reflection caused the darkness to do the same thing, except, instead of getting fainter, the darkness becomes brighter.

Finally, there is a point of equal intensity between the light and darkness. This then is the meeting point for the light and darkness. At this common meeting point where the light and darkness are of equal intensity, the light can then touch upon the darkness and be able to heal or transmute that darkness into light.

This is what creation is all about. It is nothing more than creating a common meeting ground so the light can touch upon the darkness and can then change and order the darkness, which is out of harmony with the light, into the light.

One might say this is way too simple. All this creation phenomena just to reach out and transmute the darkness into the light and that’s all? There’s nothing else? It just seems too easy and simple. There has got to be more to it than that. Is there nothing more?

As far as the work of this Cosmic Consciousness goes, there is nothing more.

According to the Kabbala, there is way, way more beyond this Cosmic Consciousness. This Cosmic Consciousness is one small speck within a greater, greater, greater whole. As we, as individual souls, are just a speck compared to this Cosmic Consciousness, this Cosmic Consciousness is also just a speck.

The work that is assigned to this Cosmic Consciousness is to transmute the darkness into the light. That is its only work. Nothing else. Simple.

This Cosmic is part of the Infinite Consciousness and the Infinite Consciousness has other Cosmic Consciousnesses doing other work, each having its own specific, simple task. Even though each Cosmic Consciousness has an easy simple task, they are all a part contributing to the whole. All combine together into something so vast and expansive that even the Cosmic cannot fathom it.

So this Cosmic Consciousness has a simple task to perform and this task is the only reason for creation, that is, to be able to touch upon the darkness to bring order to the disorder, to bring harmony to the inharmony, to bring the darkness into the light.

That’s all.

Simple.
