And now he was here. In a state of complete bafflement regarding his new human condition, he watched internally as reels of information played across his mind. He recapped that…so powerful was the pull of the Earth that life forms who incarnate there, immediately and completely identified with its intense material quality, and renouncing their primary connection with spirit they would choose to rotate back to Earth and the physical, lifetime after lifetime in a continuing cycle.
Now captive, in this new state of physicality he ruminated over the wisdom of his choice. But only for a moment. His choice had been voluntary, born of an insatiable desire to help the Earthlings remember who they truly were. And he knew that he could succeed in this only if he lived the experience of being human in all of its detail.
From Altura, he had absorbed innumerable records of myths and legends about this planet. He welcomed the memories of the Earth legends. Maybe there he could find new leads on these confusing thoughts and sensations that he was experiencing.
And with that he recalled the details of that Earth legend that had outlined how this planet had veered away from the pattern of creation and had become the dense physical form that set it apart from the rest of "the ALL." This was the legend of the Fall of Mankind – a legend lost long ago to the archives of human history.
It all started with the story of Creation that defines everything, everywhere. Before time, before space, before form, there was the void. It was boundless, infinite, having no parameters. A complete unity of everything, all knowing, complete, holding the knowledge of all that ever was and ever would be. It encompassed all of life. Nothing was that was not of the void, and all was perfection there. It was ultimate bliss. But over time there developed within the void, slight movements, ever so subtle ripples of a desire to know itself, not as a whole with no parameters, but in all its intimate detail. This was an urge to experience itself outside of this state of absolute, infinite completeness. This need grew and grew in its intensity, spreading across the void, until it could no longer be contained. To truly know itself, the boundless had then to distribute itself into its multiple units.
And so began the process of creation. In a burst of creative energy and a fusion of sound, light and color, the void splintered at its core to allow for the release of its elements and to create for them the context, the universes in which they would give expression to their desires. This outburst of creative energy gave birth to planets, galaxies and universes, all of them, over eons of time, emanating life species and formations, best suited to the fuller expression of that entity. Each represented that original impetus to experience itself in manifest form, rather than in a perfect blissful state of simply being and complete knowing. Some of the creations were non-physical, and some gave themselves forms that were a combination of light and the semi-physical, according to preference. These were one-dimensional, amorphous beings imbued with light and with the ability to move with ease between form and the formless void. All were absorbed in a fiesta of creation, constantly manifesting situations and images, simply with a thought or word, and according to their varied capacities and interests. But these manifestations had no real solidity and could just as easily be made to dissolve. The void had come alive in a panorama of creation with its units, mammoth and miniscule absorbed in the art of creation for the pleasure of pure experience.
And then a group of Light Beings got the idea that Creation would best be served if the forms created could be made more solid so that the experience of being physical could be, in their perception, more fully real. They became convinced that this solidifying of form would be a gift to the creative process. And so, they began an intense study of how to solidify form. Their intentions were wholesome, but their level of understanding of the repercussions of their choice was incomplete - a sure recipe for disaster. The higher level beings tried valiantly to dissuade them. They pointed out that by solidifying form into three and four dimensions they were introducing a semi-permanence into the being that would change everything. It would require the formation of internal structures and systems. It would mean that these forms could no longer move in and out of the spirit world with ease. It would result in a strong identification with the physical and an inability to easily dissociate and dissolve the forms created. They were warned that this would result in the eventual loss of memory of connection with spirit.
Dissolving a three-dimensional solid form would no longer be the easy ebb and flow experience it now was, but would come to be associated with slow decay, destruction and pain. The eventual, inescapable separation from the physical form would come to be known as death, an event that would strike up the deepest fear in Earthlings and would be considered highly undesirable. The Earth creators were warned that whereas the creation of solid form would give the illusion of being the optimum in the creative process, it would ultimately produce the opposite effect, as non-dissolvable forms would simply populate space and drain energy sources, if they could not readily be released back to the void. They were cautioned that pursuing that path would eventually visit on Earth not only a myriad of ills, pain, decay and death and a disassociation with spirit, but it would also generate competition and division between the units formed, with all of the attendant negatives. They were cautioned that to keep the illusion of separateness alive, egos would arise. And notions of good and evil would derive from this attachment to physicality, individuality and the related egos, as any perceived encroachment against the individual form and its ego would be graded on some scale of desirable or undesirable, harmful or unharmful, some scale of good or evil. In the non-physical realm, where there are no attachments to form or individuality, given that they can be dispensed with at will, there are not these formulations of good and evil attached to the experience created. It is simply an experience. It just is whatever it is.
The Earth creators however could not be moved, so enamored were they with the vision they had generated for this planet and its life forms, which in their perception would be the ultimate achievement in helping the void experience itself. For them, Planet Earth was to be the wonder of the universe – the testing ground for a unique expression of the VOID at the level of matter. And as laid out in the Laws of the Universe, their will had to be respected. Planet Earth was born and was indeed unique.
In the design of this showpiece of the universe, the Earth creators pooled their best talent. The result – a study in magic and wonder - destined to lure all that came within its range, to enter and experience its magnificence. In creating this masterpiece, these gods had been unsparing in their use of variety. Towering mountains and undulating valleys provided a backdrop of arresting contrast. Flora and fauna abounded in myriad varieties, making the planet a garden of delight. In the raw presence of the Earth’s aura, one could sometimes feel an inexplicable brush with spirit – like touching the garment of GOD – but this was not sustained as in other realms.
The gift of variety permeated everything, extending upward to the human species – the crowning point of the planet’s life forms. The solid forms created were endowed with five senses to allow them to fully appreciate the feel, taste and texture of being physical. Earthlings were endowed with personality to allow them to build and differentiate themselves as individuals. They were given, too, a complicated network of emotions and physiology all intended to serve as a barometer for the physical experience. Over time, however, the personality and the five senses became the primary point of reference, and these each served to reinforce the notion that the physical was all there really was and to further erase the memory of connection with spirit. To protect the physical form from tumbling through space, gravity was introduced. Units of time were invented to measure movement in space. Before this, time had not existed in the VOID.
Earth was now stuck in the dense and limited reality of the physical world with mankind placing extreme value on the material and on the individuality of the unit. While the Earth creators had been well-intentioned and had succeeded in creating a place of alluring beauty and magic, they had succeeded too in setting the planet on a downward spiral.
Having lost the active memory of their connection to that spiritual umbilical cord, mankind would now be engaged in a long and arduous journey of remembering its source and regaining its true place in the spiritual creative process. And what a journey that would be. However, to aid the process each entity still maintained in its core the imprint of the void from which it came, an imprint that we have come to call "the soul." This would serve to guide the entity back home, even
