Jesus: I Speak to You Again

Chapter 17

The Creation

The first creative act of the First Source and Center brought both matter and spirit into existence. Matter, created from energy by the First Source and Center, is as eternal as spirit. The First Source and Center created energy from His own essence, and this energy transformed and changed, setting the stage for the creation of the universe in space and time. The matter created directly by the First Source and Center was nothing other than His own dwelling place, serving as the model for all future creations. This model is known as Paradise, which I’ve mentioned before. Paradise contains all the energy of creation, as the First Source and Center stores all His energy there.

At the same time the First Source and Center created Paradise, He also brought into existence an eternal and infinite spirit, known as the Second Source and Center, equal to Himself. But His creative work didn’t stop there. Together, the First and Second Source and Center created a third personality equal to them both—the Third Source and Center. With this, the creative potential of the First Source and Center was fully realized and made manifest.

Had the First Source and Center remained alone, His potential would never have been fully expressed. There would have been no creation to reflect His love and goodness for all living creatures. While His potential for creation was infinite, it had to be acted upon, or it would remain unused. However, it was impossible for the First Source and Center to stay alone. His overwhelming love created an immense pressure that could only be released by creating the universe and filling it with life.

Before any cosmic space or creation came into being, only the First Source and Center existed. His first creative act could only bring forth a being as eternal and infinite as Himself. And when the first two eternal and infinite beings create together, the result is also eternal and infinite. Thus, the Third Source and Center came into existence, equal to both the First and Second Source and Center. This established a mutual and eternal relationship between the three, bringing balance to eternity and infinity.

By creating the Second Source and Center, the First Source and Center became the Original Father, while the Second Source and Center became the Eternal Son, originating from the Father. This was the beginning of God’s Fatherhood.

With this creative act, the First Source and Center limited His own personality, creating the Eternal Son as a co-equal being. This act was driven by an overwhelming force of love within Him that could only be expressed through creation. In creating the Eternal Son, the First Source and Center reproduced Himself, transferring all His qualities into the Eternal Son because He is the source of all personality. He could create nothing less than an absolute spiritual being.

The First Source and Center is the Universal Father, the Thought behind all creation. The Second Source and Center is the Universal Mother, the Word. Together, they created the Third Source and Center, who is the Source of Action and is known as the Infinite Spirit. The Third Source and Center completes the trinity required to experience brotherhood. The Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit, both having been created, also experience a brotherhood. Moreover, the Eternal Son experiences motherhood, having helped create the Third Source and Center together with the Universal Father.
