Jesus: I Speak to You Again
Chapter 15
The Creation of Reality and the Creator
You perceive reality only through what your five senses can detect—what you can touch, see, smell, hear, and taste. Some of you add imagination to this, using it to revisit past experiences or dream of places you’ve been or will go. But even these dreams are connected to past memories or subconscious impressions. When you view reality only through these limited means, you significantly diminish its vastness and beauty. If only you knew how diverse, beautiful, and good reality truly is, you would look at even the small part of it that surrounds you with much greater reverence and awe.
Reality is composed of countless energy vibrations, all emanating from the First Source and Center. These vibrations are filled with such immense love that if you were suddenly transported to the very center of all creation—what we call Paradise—the light would be so intense that your human eyes could not bear it. The First Source and Center resides at the very core of all creation, naturally positioned there because from Him, everything flows outward. He is the origin of all energy, life, and existence. His presence is essential for reality to grow and expand, for He is the wellspring from which all things emerge. He must be larger than all of creation, for a greater entity can create a smaller one, but the reverse is impossible. A child cannot create a grown adult, just as creation cannot bring forth its Creator. Rather, the Creator is the source of the creation.
The First Source and Center is alive, for only a living being can create living parts of creation that you can see and feel. And this Creator must also have a fitting place from which to operate while bringing forth this vast creation. The center of all creation must correspond to the greatness and power of this Creator. This Source and Center, while creating such a vast and intricate reality, must also comprehend and embrace it all. Only such an understanding, loving Creator could establish an orderly universe, where stars shine in the night sky without colliding, where everything follows a harmonious pattern.
This Creator cannot be filled with hatred or destruction, for that would lead to the unraveling of His own creation. Even on a smaller scale, no artist or creator can craft something beautiful while consumed by anger or hate. Beauty and goodness are born from love. That’s why people in love often write poems—they are elevated by the feeling of love, which inspires them to express their deepest thoughts. Similarly, the vastness of creation could not exist without a Creator who pours out love into every corner of it. The Creator sends out such powerful vibrations of love that they reach even the most distant parts of creation, pulling everything toward Him with a marvelous attraction. All of creation exists within an ocean of His love vibrations, expanding outward in every direction from His center.
Because creation is so immense and beautiful, far beyond what human minds can comprehend, there must be an even Greater Mind behind it—a Mind capable of designing and sustaining such a magnificent reality. Only a mind of supreme wisdom could generate and govern creatures who are themselves filled with the capacity for thought and feeling, even if those creatures cannot fully understand the vastness of creation. This means the Creator’s mind must be far greater than all other minds, capable of upholding the entire creation with the power of love.
Since reality contains such varied forms—solid and liquid, hot and cold, fast and slow, visible and invisible—the Creator must possess the power and knowledge to shape and transform these states. This implies that the Creator is Omnipotent, able to bring about changes and maintain the balance of the entire creation.
I am sharing this description of the Source and Center of Reality with you so that you can begin to reflect, even just a little, on how complex and sophisticated reality truly is. No one can fully explain it except for the One who designed and brought it into being. Only He understands every detail and purpose behind it. This means that the Creator must be Omniscient, possessing all knowledge needed to create and sustain such an intricate system.
Can a first grader who has just started school possess the same level of understanding as the teacher who is introducing them to their first letters? Likewise, can a creature who sees only a glimpse of this vast creation understand the mind and thoughts of the Creator? The gap in understanding is too great, just as the knowledge of the teacher far exceeds that of the little child.
The creature must be content with experiencing and learning about reality step by step, accepting that they cannot grasp all of the Creator’s plans and purposes at once. I am revealing the nature of the Source and Center in a simplified way so that you might expand your thinking, allowing your mind to exercise and stretch beyond its usual boundaries. Like a joint that becomes stiff from disuse, your mind can become flexible again with training and effort.
Your mind is capable of perceiving far more than you realize. If you devote time and attention to expanding your understanding, you will discover how magnificent it is to exercise your mind. You will begin to penetrate deeper into the knowledge of Reality. As difficult as it may have been for a first grader to understand the truths their teacher was explaining, those truths were clear to the teacher. In the same way, the deeper understanding of Reality that I am about to share may be challenging for you at first, but it will become clearer as you allow your mind to grow and expand.
So, I ask you to allow your mind to explore freely, without immediately seeking contradictions in what I am sharing. Contradicting is simply a way of narrowing your mind even further. By remaining neutral, you open the door to your mind, giving it the opportunity to expand and transform its understanding of reality.
