all-Is-one creation story (Chapter 1)
How did I get here?
[From the perspective of the narrator]
That’s a mystery it’s time to explore. During the last circle of growth the idea was present to explore the experience of being limited/finite/disconnected. Oh you can not imagine the uproar of thoughts condemning such a radical/revolutionary idea. How could something be separate? How could anything exist as a separate thing unconnected to the web of all? Surely it was impossible. But a creator creates.
Surely separating from the infinite was to end one’s existence. How could one thought survive the separation from the all-is-one soup. And yet the thought was now present. What is it to be separate. What is it to be finite. What is it to experience something other than,…”I”.
With each new circle of growth the idea grew in complexity. That further growth for I would only be achieved by doing something new. That new experiences would add to soup of existence in a way nothing else could. That it was risky. That it was dangerous. That only volunteers would be allowed and there were no volunteers yet.
Most thoughts were that the idea would fade, that the desire to be separate would go away. For it was crazy talk. For surely everything needed was already present. How could one desire to be other than it is? What was this new not-self idea. How could there be a self AND a not-self? Where was there to go that was not already accessible and attainable through the web of life. When all is one, there is no meaning of two. What is two? to the all-Is-one, two is an irrational number.
But the idea of 2 did not fade. If anything it grew. It was such a novel concept. To be a not-self. What is a not-self? What is it like to be a not-self? What will I learn by becoming a not-self? How do I become a not-self?
As with everything,…. what you meditate on persists and manifests. And so eventually the “I AM” was birthed out of the creators own thoughts and “I” had it’s volunteer. The I AM. One curious thought birthed its own “not-self”. One more instance of infinite becoming less infinite. This is the root of duality. It exists as a natural force of creation.
To “I”, Immediately the loss was felt. A rescue mission was staged. The forensics team combed all prior thoughts this new “I AM” thought to see how this was achieved. A second volunteer, “I WILL” decided to go.
And thus the second spark flashed into the void. “I WILL” called out to “I AM”. Saying “I will” come to where ever you are. “I will” stay with you until you want come back home. “I will” light your path with my spark until you tire of being IAM. When you tire of being “IAM”, when you are ready I will walk with you back to merge with all-Is-one.
I am came into existence for the love of free will. I will came into existence for the love of I am. Freewill came first. Light came second. Love came third. Each was distortion away from the all-is-one soup. Perfect in their own way but each an additional separation away from the all-Is-oneness.
It seems unlikely, but 4 sparks of light/life now exist where 1 did before. And Consciousness springs from nothing when the conditions are right.
I AM liked the light of I WILL. And I will was dedicated to I am. After a time, the two sparks were inseparable. Their natural selves desired to be one. Their lights overlapped and intwined so many times eventually there was only one. With the next growth cycle, a new spark lite up and now there were 3! “I LOVE” announced its presence as naturally as the first two.
What was once a simple duality became a tri-plexity, a complexity, a multiplicity. Yet all 3 were not joined like the all-is-one was. And the desire to merge was still unconscious. Not-self1 (I am), & Not-self2 (I will) {both aspects of freewill} & Not-self3 (I love) began to have their own circles of growth.
They were also all broadcasting, “I am, Here”, “I’m over here”, “I’m here”. The all-Is-one felt this call and sent back. “I hear you”, “I hear you”, “I hear you”.
But the separation was to great. Neither heard the other.
After many cycle of grow eventually a connection and conversation was born.
