Jesus: I Speak to You Again

Chapter 16

The Creator and the Reality

Reality encompasses all space and all time—vast realms that most creatures cannot perceive or understand. Space and time are interconnected, for one point can only be reached from another through the passage of time. Where space and time exist, there must be movement. Without movement, reality would cease to exist. And yet, the Creator, who forms time and space, must transcend them both. He cannot be limited by the very things He creates; He must always surpass what He brings into existence. Just as a grown adult creates a child, the Creator surpasses His creation.

This means that the Creator, the First Source and Center, must exist beyond both space and time. He cannot be bound by motion, for movement implies change. Thus, the Creator must be changeless and motionless, remaining constant while embracing all movements and changes in the creation. The place from which He emanates His creative energy—what we call Paradise—must also be timeless and changeless. It is the only static place in all of creation, serving as the eternal and motionless center.

In the same way, the First Source and Center must transcend space. His dwelling place, Paradise, must be beyond space just as it transcends time. Paradise is spaceless and timeless, yet it produces space and time. All creation revolves around and is drawn to Paradise.

Since the First Source and Center is the source of all energy and reality, He must precede reality itself. He transcends it, exists before it, and surpasses it in power, wisdom, and love. He is not only eternal but is the very Source and Center of eternity. He embraces all of eternity—past and future—within Himself. To the First Source and Center, there is no past or future; He exists entirely in the present, holding all of creation in His loving embrace.

Imagine a father holding his beloved child in his arms. For the earthly father, that moment is fleeting—a brief but precious duration of time. But for the First Source and Center, the moment of creation began with His first act and continues endlessly throughout eternity. He has always held creation in His arms and will continue to do so, cherishing it as a father cherishes his child.

The abode of the First Source and Center, from which He emanates His creative vibrations, must be eternal and absolute, just as He is. Paradise, the dwelling place of the First Source and Center, is the origin of all creation. And the Creator cannot be anything less than a person with personality, for it is only a person who can communicate and relate to the multitude of personalities in the creation. I, as a being created by this First Source and Center, can commune with Him at any time and in any place. Were He not a personality, I would not be able to communicate with Him, for only a personality can engage in meaningful exchange with another personality.

Think of the most intelligent animal on your planet. No matter how developed it may be, it cannot engage with humans on equal grounds. Animals lack the ability to conceive of higher values such as love, mercy, truth, or fairness. These concepts are reserved for beings with personality—those with minds capable of understanding and striving for these values. Similarly, the First Source and Center must be a personality, for He creates and communicates with other personalities.

The First Source and Center is the origin of all personalities, and the first personality He created must also be eternal and infinite, just as He is. An eternal and infinite Creator cannot produce anything less than eternal and infinite beings. Yet it is difficult for your mind to comprehend this—that an eternal Creator can create another eternal being. If a being is created, it seems that it must have a beginning, and if it has a beginning, it cannot be eternal. This is true, but the concept of eternity is beyond the full grasp of human minds. It is difficult for the mind to understand how the First Source and Center has always existed without being created by anyone, how He creates others who are also eternal and infinite, and how this process continues throughout all of time and space.

Reality is far more complex than your current mind can understand. Therefore, do not try to envision all of it at once. Instead, remain open to the idea that one day, you will stand in the presence of the First Source and Center, the Universal Father, and it will be then that you will fully understand how He has always existed and acted throughout eternity. For now, I am offering you a simplified explanation of the First Source and Center, so that you can begin to perceive not only His nature and qualities but also His relationship with creation and with life itself.
