According to the ancient Eastern elders, God is the bodiless intelligence that
lives in the Imperceptible World. It is the wisdom behind all nature's Truths.
Mathematics or logical reasoning makes God understandable. Through that
understanding, we perceive Its intelligence.
The bodiless intelligence manages trillions of cells in our body. The cells
inhale, exhale, reproduce, and eliminate waste, in perfect harmony, for the
good of the whole (a healthy person).
For example, think about your heartbeat. It regulates blood flow all of your
life, speeding up when you run and slowing down when you rest. Your heart
speeding up or slowing down occurs independently of your thought
processes. God's intelligent direction executes the pace automatically.

Consciousness
14
A universal axiom states, “All things will change in time”. For a continuous
change (creation, reformation, and destruction) to proceed, a part of God
and Man must remain free of alteration. That part is Consciousness.
Nothing can direct it since it has no Spirit/Energy. As a result,
Consciousness is in absolute freedom with unlimited creative potential
when it Wills.
Spirit/Energy
Spirit/Energy is the part of God that puts in the work. It is the complete,
unlimited, universal power of God that extends to matter. When Willed by
Consciousness, Spirit/Energy separates Its dormant expanse into an active
segment that transforms into a creation in the physical world. What we
understand from this is that God’s awareness and Will are in control of all
of Its creations.
Breathing heavier is an act not from your Consciousness. You are not
responsible. Your Spirit/Energy executes the action. As we will learn later,
the Consciousness part of God (and Man) start all events in the world while
Spirit/Energy is the executor. The Consciousness Wills, Spirit/Energy
carries out the Will. “God proposes, and Spirit/Energy disposes.”
15
Differences do not differentiate the 103 atoms that make up elements in the
physical world. Instead, the differences come from varying arrangements of
only two particles, the electron and proton. Such that:
a b c d e f g h
a2 b2 c2 d2 e2 f2 g2 h2
a3 b3 c3 d3 e3 f3 g3 h3
And so on.
Electrons swirl around the proton or centers in different orbits called shells.
The first shell holds a maximum of 2 electrons, the second shell 8, the third
18, and the fourth 32.
2(1) 2 = 2
2(2) 2 = 8
16
2(3) 2 = 18
2(4) 2 = 32
Shell 1 is 2
Shell 2 is 8
Shell 3 is 18
Shell 4 is 32
17
It is distinct from the other worlds because power and matter have not yet
transformed into forms, objects, or creations. If there is no development of
anything, there can be no perception.
The Material World consists of what we can detect with our five senses. It is
a physical world. The Material World is where causes created in the
Immaterial World form material creations or events. What has already
occurred cannot un-occur, therefore, no Spirit/Energy lies in the Material
World. The realm of matter (Domain of Effects) has happened.
Like a dog chasing his tail, most people are not working on the causes of
their problems.
18
Instead, they are working on Material World effects (activism, voting,
economics, education, etc.). Man’s Consciousness is “trapped” in the
Material World, meaning people remain ignorant of the underlying causes
(thoughts, feelings, and behavior) that they set into motion and lead to
suffering in their lives.
Know that in the Material World, you are not looking at problem causes, but
problem symptoms. Manifested realities have formed in the Material World
because of their underlying causes. If those realities are undesirable, then
eliminating their causes is the only way to change them.
19
Omnipresent
Omnipresent means all-existent, the ability to be present anywhere. All
living things share one Consciousness. The basis of God's Omnipresence is
like icebergs in the ocean. They appear separate and in different shapes
above water, while below water, we see they are all a part of the same large
chunk of ice.
Omnipotent
Omniscient
God, using Its Will to direct Spirit/Energy, created a program that responds
automatically to whatever occurs. God’s Program is a routine, which
manages limitless creations, so they all perform together in perfect
harmony.
20
For example, the interaction between mineral, plant, and animal kingdoms
supports the food chain cycle, water cycle, carbon dioxide cycle, and so on.
In the food chain cycle, living organisms die and decompose into nitrogen.
The nitrogen combines with bacteria in the earth, providing food for plants.
Plants provide food for herbivores (rabbits, squirrels, sheep, etc.). Herbivores
provide food for carnivores (lions, tigers, snakes, sharks, etc.). An
unchanging order between food and its consumer is established by God’s
Program.
The Divine program governs the direct, indirect, inter, and intra-
relationships between mineral, plant, animal, and people kingdoms. Know
that conditions, which manage the consequences of the behavior of
intelligent beings, come from God’s Program. When your Consciousness is
in harmony with God’s Program, you will find success and abundance in
life. However, when your Consciousness violates God’s Program, only failure
will result.
God is not responsible for the actions of Its program because the program
will bring order without God's input. For the sake of clarity, consider the
following metaphor:
21
If a Divine man falls from a ten-story building, his pleas for help while
falling will not save him. The Truth of gravity in God's Program will follow
its unchanging directive; what goes up must come down. God will not
intervene. Hitting the ground will smash the Divine man like an egg
dropped on cement. Please understand you cannot plant mangos and
expect oranges. The mango plant houses God's Truths.
God is not responsible for things that result from operations of Its
independently acting program. We live within the limits of the order
determined by the plan. Because of Free Will, we can obey or disobey those
limits. The choice is our own doing and responsibility, not God’s doing. This
discussion should get rid of any arguments saying God produces evil in the
world.
Being in harmony with God's Program is essential because you get united
with the higher power. Another reason is, when called upon, God may turn
situations beyond your control, into your favor. For instance, when you
need a loan approved to buy a new home, or for that cancer checkup to
come back negative. To make a long story short, you need God, and as you
will see, God needs you.
God’s Program for universal order is rigid and unchanging. Strict adherence
to the Hierarchy of Life is necessary for your Consciousness to evolve.
Evolving requires Man’s reasoning to proceed by lower-level items regulating
higher-level items.
Level 1-God
Level 2-Man's Consciousness (awareness/Will) and the Divine Self-
Image
Level 3-The nine chief influences of personality types
Level 4-The minor influences of Talents and variations in behavioral
traits of the chief influences
Level 5-The Lifeforce
22
needed or significant in your life will follow. Violation of the Hierarchy of Life
will lead to disorder and misfortune.
According to the ancient Eastern savants, God said, It could not make
things until It made Truths, for establishing Its creative acts. Since God
based all on Truths, then Man's behavior, success, and well-being, also
depend on observing Truths. Ma'at is Truth, with her Spirit/Energy of unity
and balance that causes the world to operate on purpose.
Nearly all Spiritual traditions say, Man was created in the image of God.
What the ancient sages meant is God and Man share the same
Consciousness. Psalm 82.6 in the Christian bible quotes Jesus as saying:
“I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most high.”
23
However, Western revisionist misinterpreted it as meaning the same
physical features. Do not get it twisted; the saying refers to non-physical
attributes. Quality-wise, Man being the same as God.
Know that God’s attributes affect the entire Cosmos. In contrast, Man’s
attributes only affect what is within his or her mental or physical proximity.
Like the ocean and a drop of water. Although they are the same quality of
water, the impact of the ocean is much more than the drop.
