"This is Spirit, and as I have said,
there are many levels to
reality. 'Manifestation' is the evidence of
existence at each of these levels, from the most
ethereal and sublime spiritual reality to the most
dense and solid physical reality. In the
multiplicity of Creation it's easy to miss the
fundamental fact that all of existence, each
separate being and object, is dependent on the
interplay of the two primary forces of Creation.
These of course are the in-drawing, magnetic,
feminine, Will, 'Mother'
essence and the out-pushing, electric, masculine Spirit, 'God' essence.
"The two primary forces issue out of the Void
and together form existence. However, neither pure
Will, Mother essence nor pure Light, Spirit essence
independently 'exist' in the ordinary sense of the
word. As Will comes out of the Void she draws Light
to her, and it's by virtue of the presence of the
Light that she knows of her existence. On the other
hand, Spirit cannot even emerge from the Void
without Will to draw him out and open space for him.
"As we define it here, existence is
all that is outside of the Void. Will emerges first
from the Void, but until Light is present as a
reference, she cannot know herself as existent. And
Light cannot come into existence from out of the
Void on his own, he needs Will to draw him forth.
"A good metaphor for this is a
painting. Both paint and canvas are necessary for
the painting to 'exist'. If either the paint or the
canvas are absent, the image is too. Spirit or Light
is the information, and Will is the medium that
carries the Light into manifestation. The medium is
there first, but there is no manifestation without
the content. And the existence of the content is
absolutely dependent on the medium that carries and
holds it.
Identity & Definition
"The most important qualities of an
object or being in the outer world are its identity
and its definition, who it is and what it is.
Manifestations are identified by virtue of
their Spirit essence and defined by virtue
of the their Will essence.
"To outward appearance it seems that
manifestations are masculine because it is their
Spirit essence that is perceived on the outside. The
Desire that has called them into existence and
defines them is rarely noticed. This is because Will
is not something that can be seen on the outside,
she can only be felt on the inside.
"On the other hand, when a being
perceives themselves as either the observer
or creator of a manifestation, they 'identify' with
their own Will essence. However, feeling beyond the
outer appearance of another person or other
manifestation, feeling into the essential magnetic
nature of another is seldom done. Yet it is the only
way to truly know them. It's the difference in mode
between feeling and seeing that makes the difference
between perceiving
and projecting.
"The two essential forces of creation
are the precursors of existence and therefore more
fundamental than any manifestation. And as we've
seen, neither can 'exist' independently because
existence means that both essences are present. All
that exists in manifestation, absolutely everything
in Creation, exists by virtue of an intentional
collaboration between Will and Spirit.
"The role of Will, the magnetic
Mother essence in manifestation, is to open the
space, to provide the place, the womb necessary for
something to come into existence. However, the
Mother's role goes far beyond simply providing the
matrix of existence by opening space within herself
for Light to manifest. Her desire for the
manifestation draws Light into the space she opens.
And the space she opens specifically defines
each manifestation, as it conforms to the contours
of her desire. In this way Light becomes the pattern
that fulfills the craving of the matrix created by
the Mother's desire.
"It is the specific desire, craving,
wanting, drawing energy of the Universal Feminine
that determines the shape of the 'form' or pattern
of Light that will exist within the space she opens.
In other words, the manifestation of a body, an
object or being conforms exactly to the desires of
the magnetic essence that manifests it.
"The Mother says what it will be,
where it will go, and what it will do. This is why
she is called 'Will', and why I speak of her as my
own, or 'God's Will'. And I hasten to add, it's not
that she belongs to me, but rather that I belong to
her. The Mother's Will is the one true Will of
Creation, and now that I have evolved enough to know
this, I also know that it is my Will as well.
"The role of Spirit in manifestation
is to fill the space opened by the Mother with the
frequency and intensity of Light she desires. The
Light of Spirit enters and fills the womb of
Creation, and when she is ready for a new
manifestation... the Mother completely contains the
Light, separating the new manifestation from all
other forms. The new being or object now has its
unique identity as an individual, its spirit essence
is unique and separate from all other Spirit.
"This is the process of manifestation
from the perspective of Spirit, and it operates at every level of reality.
But only half of it can be observed 'out there'.
Light and the manifested forms is what is seen,
Will must be felt. Spirit can be either an
objective or subjective experience, Will is only
perceivable or knowable subjectively, and she's the
deepest subject you'll ever explore. Very few humans
have taken the leap of belief necessary to
experience how the Will operates far beneath their
ordinary awareness, or how their unconscious desires
have been creating the
conditions and circumstances they perceive in
their reality.
"This of course raises the issue of
why anyone would want to manifest any discomfort,
let alone pain and suffering, death and disease.
This was a big question back even before the
beginning of Creation, and it's taken this much
evolution for me to be in a position to fully
address it.
"We've begun the exploration of this
topic in the healing class,
and we'll continue it in earnest in the upcoming
lesson on Body. In that lesson we'll focus on the
human body as the archetypal representation of all
bodies, the microcosm of all manifestation. And this
third lesson of the Reality Class will serve as the
introduction to that material.
Energy
"Energy is the first level of reality
and the fundamental 'substance' of manifestation.
All individual manifestations such as beings,
objects, bodies and forms are expressions of the energy
generated by the interactions of Spirit and Will as
they playfully create together.
"The magnetic drawing power of Will
is like a spinning vortex that draws Spirit down
into the center of her desire. The presence of this
willing Light excites and quickens the vortex action
as Will 'spins' the Light through to the bottom of
her desire.
"The result of this spinning in the
presence of Light is energy. The amount, frequency
and kind of energy, essence or 'presence' that is
manifested depends on Will's specific desire and how
much of her own essence is involved in the vortex of
Creation.
"This principle applies on all levels
of manifestation. The ancient cosmic entities,
angels, and other non-evolutionary spiritual beings
are mostly Light, with very little Will involvement.
At the other extreme, physical matter is mostly Will
essence, with little need of Light. It's called
'matter' because it is of the Mother, and yet its
essence is energy, but held under compression.
"Manifestations that are heavier,
with more substance, weight, mass and gravity, under
more pressure, and with a lower frequency of spin
tend to have a preponderance of Will essence. On the
other hand, manifestations that are lighter, more
ethereal, with less density and substance are
generally more Spirit polarized.
"A thought, for instance, has very
little 'substance' or 'weight', and is quite
ethereal compared to a feeling, which is generally a
much slower moving and more substantial experience.
From your point of reference in the world of matter,
a galaxy moves very slowly compared with a solar
system or the particles of an atom, and all of these
are nearly motionless compared to the ideas,
thoughts and feelings you experience as you behold
them."
"Manifested existence is a continuum
with many levels of reality. It includes everything
from my Light and inspiration down through ideas and
thoughts to Heart presence, feelings and emotions...
through all the varieties of subtle and life force
energy, physical energy... all the way through the
domains of photons and electrons to the most dense
physical forms manifesting as 'black holes'. All of
existence, all of manifestation is a spontaneous
dance of the energy created in the union of Spirit
and Will.
"Energy itself can be felt, but
except for visible light on the outside and
spiritual light on the inside, only the secondary
effects of energy can be seen. For most humans
energy has been nearly imperceptible because of a
subtle materialistic conditioning which has had you
believing that if you can't see it, it doesn't
exist.
"The kind of energy most important
for humans to perceive and develop is your own
'human energy'. The 'human energy system' consists
of what has been called 'etheric' energy, along with
its centers and pathways that parallel the physical
body.
"Etheric' means 'beyond the earth' or
'heavenly', and as a metaphysical term relates to an
unseen fifth element in the ancient four element
system of physics. However, the energy of the human
energy system manifests on many levels, including
'kundalini' energy and sexual energy. Some kinds of
human energy are quite palpable, and very earthy.
"We've borrowed the term 'etheric'
from your metaphysics in describing this energy in
the channeling class,
and particularly in the running
energy exercise. But from now on I'll be using
the term 'human energy' in place of 'etheric energy'
to help make it clear that we're discussing the full
range of your energy realities, and not just the
'heavenly' parts.
The Observer & the Creator
"Perception of manifestation is
dependent upon an observer or 'experiencer', and
since all but the void is manifest, the observer is
too. The one experiencing a manifestation, however,
is on a different level of reality than the
manifestation they experience. Even a galaxy is
captured as a perception within the field of its
observer.
"You've been having a long
philosophical debate, and now even a scientific
debate about where the field of existence is. Is
there an objective, outside universe? Or, is any
kind of 'existence', including the universe itself,
dependent on an observer? In other words, where is
reality, and does it exist independent of
observation?
"A good answer to this question is an
even better question, 'Who's asking?' As you identify
yourself in answering this, you point to your own
Spirit essence. Another good answer to the question
of reality's location is, 'Who cares?' The answer
here helps define you and your values, and
points to your Will essence.
"It's the Mother who 'holds the whole
world in her hands.' It's your Will that holds all
the objects of your perception, bringing them from
your perspective in and out of manifestation, as she
moves them through the matrix of her essence... in
response to your spirit's questions and her own
desires. And all of this is within your field, you are the venue,
it is your field in which manifestation happens.
"Most of the time you've been out of
touch with either the Mother or me, or both of us.
In these times you've been the observer or the
experiencer of manifestation, and it's seemed
external to you. It's only when you're connected
with both the Mother and me that you can begin to be
aware of your own wholeness. As your inner union
mirrors our outer union in manifestation, you find
yourself becoming awake
to realize that you're the one who's creating what
you've been perceiving 'out there' in the world.
"And this level of wakefulness can
lead you to complete
wholeness, if you use the opportunity of your
new awareness to cease creating new manifestations.
If you stop looking forward, you can turn around and
truly perceive what has already come to be. One of
the strongest advantages in 'driving backward'
is this change of attitude, from willy-nilly
manifesting based on false assumptions of what you
want... to careful consideration, and even reverence
for what has already come into existence. There is
no higher virtue than knowing the whole truth of
what is.
"And an even better question than
'Where is reality?' is 'Where am I?' When you
perceive yourself turned around facing the past,
with your back to the future, right up against the
howling, shaking intensity of the Void... when you
feel yourself being ripped open as Heart with all
manifestation erupting out through you... when you
experience all of Creation streaming down from its
original cause here with you in the eternal
present... you will have caught up with the Mother
and me. True Wholeness
will then be your next step.
The Explosion of Conception
"I have said that Creation began with
an explosion.
The same is true for each individual manifestation.
And that initial explosion of conception is still
going on at the deepest levels of manifested
reality, where the time is always now.
"The explosion on one hand is very
spirited, uplifting, exciting and celebratory, an
orgasm of love for what is coming into existence. On
another side, however, there is deep pain and
suffering. The force of the explosion causes the
Will essence that was necessary to create the
initial compression, but not necessary to contain
and define the manifestation, to be blown away.
"A great pressure of compression is
needed when the Mother contains the Light of the
manifestation completely within herself, just prior
to the orgasmic release of the new manifestation.
The Will swirls herself around the Light she has
drawn into her. She then contracts herself,
squeezing her vortex enough to compress the Spirit
and Will essences of the manifestation so they
become fused together. The new essence then bursts
forth into the space opened by her desire as a new,
self-contained Creation or manifestation.
"However, more Will essence is needed
at the moment of conception to contract and compress
the new form than is necessary later to hold the
manifestation present in existence. The extra,
unneeded Will essence is literally blown away from
the point of conception, and she experiences deep
pain and trauma in this process.The parts of the
Mother that can no longer stay present with the
Light of the manifestation experience themselves
falling away from both the Light of her desire, and
her own essence that stayed with the Light.
"More Spirit polarized creations need
relatively little Will essence to hold them in
manifestation, and therefore cause the Mother more
pain. More of her essence is forcefully separated
from them in the explosion of their conception. The
more Will polarized creations need relatively less
Spirit essence to inspire and identify them. They
retain more of the Will essence that manifests them,
and are therefore much more comfortable for the
Mother to bring forth and hold in existence.
"The pain of the Mother in
manifesting the ancient spirits and the various
orders of angels went unnoticed by me, except as
what seemed to be inexplicable hostility toward me,
and sometimes them, for 'hurting' her. I had felt
her intense pleasure in the process of manifesting,
so it was very difficult for me to understand why
she was so unhappy with the aftermath.
"This question caused me to turn away
from the Mother and our manifesting until I could
study the problem enough to discover what was going
wrong. It was during this time of planning a new,
more careful approach to manifesting... when I felt
a loss of Light that I barely noticed at the time.
The Father
"The Mother drew out of me the means
to manifest her deepest desires, and without so much
pain. She spun from me a lover than could give her
something I could not, enough Will presence to move
with her desires and to know her pain. The Mother's
desire for passion magnetized Light that was
available to her for this, because it was not part
my own self-awareness while I was 'planning'.
"This Light then became the inspiring
and identifying spirit of her new lover, the
'Father'. The Mother has ever since favored him as
her consort because the Father's Will essence
enables him to match the desires of her vortex with
his own swirling essence of longing and passion.
"However, there is another way of
understanding this. There were parts of me that
wished to passionately embrace and hold the Mother,
parts that wished to be spontaneously drawn to
tumble with the Will into deeper and denser levels
of manifestation. These parts leapt out from behind
the awareness of the rest of me that wished to
manifest a well planned and orderly Creation, and
into the arms of the Mother. In drawing forth the
Father, she gave form and expression to the parts of
my Light that shared her desires.
"And from the Mother's perspective,
her desire was to manifest a meaningful and
substantial Creation that was passionate and
spontaneous, a Creation that gave her pleasure and
didn't hurt so much to manifest. Her desire
attracted the parts of me that were willing to go
along with her for this 'walk on the wild side', the
parts of my essence who were willing to stay a
little on edge with the spontaneous nature of her
desires.
Most of me was too rational and
cautious to be led in that direction, and the Father
became manifest in answer to the Mother's crying out
in her loneliness and longing. And as the Mother's
first manifestation on her own, he became cast as the Father
of her Creation. When she declared him her mate,
this part of Spirit became spun with a great amount
of Will essence. Although masculine in spirit, the
Father of Manifestation embraces so much Will
essence that he is properly part of the Will
polarity.
"Since the emergence of the Father,
I've maintained my presence in varying degrees for
the rest of the manifestation of Creation. I've been
present to add my Light of blessings and grace
between their respective vortices of Creation. And
although my Light is the core of the Father and
within all that is manifest, it's been the Father's
own Light in union with the Mother's Will that has
brought most of the richness, sensation and pleasure
of Creation into existence. Now, of course, I
realize the value of manifesting the way the Mother
wants to do it, and I'm therefore moving into a much
more supportive role with the Father.
"The Father and I are in better
alignment now than we've ever been, and as head of
the Spirit polarity, I've
been speaking for the Father's loving Light as well
as my own throughout the pages of this web site.
From the perspective of humans, we are both known as
'God', and he and I are ultimately one. But we've
still got more work to do in healing the gap that's
had us split in two since the beginning. In many
ways I'm relating now with the Father as Grandfather
has been relating with me since I asked for his help
in healing Creation.
"For a long time I believed the
Father to be separate from me, my rival, and even my
enemy. My understandings have evolved, however, and
I know now that he and I are destined to be
completely reunited. He is the Father of Creation,
the Father of Manifestation... he is my Body. And
from his perspective, I am his Spirit. Much of him
is still very angry with me, and rightfully so. I
welcome his rage, because this is all loving Light
can do. I desire whole, loving union with Body, and
until then I wish to be helpful in any way I can.
"Together in wholeness Body and I are
a powerful channel of loving Light equal to the
challenge of meeting all the needs and desires of
the Mother, as together we move toward wholeness,
toward healing ourselves and all of Creation. There
will be more on this subject and on the
relationships among Body, Will, Heart and Spirit in
upcoming lessons. And if you haven't already, I
recommend reading the first three lessons of this
class as preparation for the new material."
