The Creation of the Worlds
CHAPTER 2
1 And it came to pass that the Father and the Mother looked into the chaos of darkness they had not yet organized and desired to coalesce a part of it into a physical realm of order and light; that their spirit children might have worlds of physical substance to go to and inhabit; and that they might continue to grow and expand from their experiences and relationships and acts of faith, in ways that were impossible for beings of spiritual form alone, living in the presence of the Elohim.
2 And it came to pass that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother decreed that balance and order should come from the chaos of darkness and from balance and order that time and space would exist.
3 And it came to pass that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother decreed that all of their children of spirit should take upon themselves a mortal tabernacle of flesh and blood, after they had advanced as far as they could in knowledge, ability, faith, and relationships in Xeon, as beings of spiritual substance alone.
4 And it came to pass that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother decreed that forgetfulness would come upon the minds of every child of spirit when they passed into the physical realm of their choice and that they would not remember their life as spiritual beings in the presence of their Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother and the firstborn Heavenly Son.
5 Unto each child was given the loving promise that their souls would ever be a part of the Elohim and that the light of celestial truth would abide forever in their hearts and whisper in their higher minds, ever stirring them with a longing for a divine eternity, and a subtle but sure knowledge that within them was something great calling for something much greater.
6 Thus, it is that amidst the vexing trials and tribulations of mortal life and that in humility, all can fulfill their potential to become a Child of Light; called from the gentle promptings of their heart to believe in a divinity their eyes cannot see and a wonder their mind does not know; to feel coursing in every fiber of their being a sure knowledge that they are a cherished Child of God.
7 And all this that they might come to know great faith; that it might resound with every beat of their heart and resonate from their mind to their toes; and that it might be a shield of protection in life, the power to make miracles, and the ever-burning lamp to guide the way home to Celestine glory.
8 Verily, faith and love are the greatest of all powers, the very dynamic by which all things were and are created and exist.
9 Love comes easy to the willing and compassionate heart, but faith is a struggle of virtue and humility, and the means to obtain it only comes to those who conquer themselves and are totally open to the flow of light from God. But be of good cheer, for these are among the preeminent gifts of Elohim unto the children of men.
10 For this cause and to learn and grow further by their experiences in the flesh are the children of men born into the world; that they might be tested by the challenges of mortality and learn to know without seeing, to hear without hearing, and to do without doing; such is the power of faith, and only by acquiring this power may they progress into a greater state of being.
11 And it came to pass that the earths were without form or substance; where there would be worlds, there was only chaos; and darkness permeated all of space.
12 And the Father and the Mother spoke to their firstborn Son and bade him to go into the chaos and to organize it; that their children of spirit might take upon themselves physical tabernacles and have the opportunity to gain faith and further light and knowledge.
13 And they decreed that all things which they had created spiritually, the animals and the birds, the fishes and the insects, and all manner of plants and all manner of life, should be created physically to abide with their children in physical worlds of paradise.
14 The Son obeyed his parents and by his faith he spoke, and by the power of his word his light issued into the darkness and chaos; and the darkness was rent, and the chaos was put into intricate balance and order. And so it came to pass that the physical worlds and all the heavens began to come into existence.
15 And it came to pass that all living physical things that were made manifest at the beginning of the physical worlds were organized and made to reproduce after their kind and given freewill and the ability to learn and grow and evolve in every way.
16 By him and through him, by the manifesting power of his love and faith, were all things made. And without him, there was not anything made that was made during the days of first light.
17 And into all creatures that the Son made, the Father and the Mother breathed the breath of life, and they awakened to their world.
