“I had a very strange dream.
I dreamed that before there was a universe, there was a transpresent singularity. A hyperintelligence of entirely nonordinary form and extent. SomethingOne whose mere existence would obliterate all of the categories with which we as human beings are ordinarily familiar. A point without extent in time and space, yet which by existing is more than the possibility of all forms of extensionality.
And the speck was all of being and possibility and more.
It unexpectedly imploded. And in the beginning, that implosion, was the universe. And god was profuse throughout it as an immanence.
Then, over time, as the universe evolved into new forms of physical expression, the immanence transformed into specificity and presence. God was effectively ‘lost to immanence within creation’. The unityBeing disappeared… not from timespace… but into it.
The universe complexified physically until it was possible for life to emerge as the biocognitive expression of the immanence-transforming-to-specific presence. That is to say, the beautiful divine clouds of possibility collapsing into actuality … like rain… in time and space. And, eventually, living beings. Each of which is at once entirely mundane and explicitly divine.
And so living beings, all of them, became the next form of the vessel that carried the immanence prior even to the universe into expression in the now very physical and temporally keyed universe.
Over time, god is embodied more and more deeply and expressively; the universe itself begins, perhaps, to take on the aspect of ‘heaven’ or that domain in which god is and has always been.
At last, filled everywhere with profound divinity, as if this were some force of physics, the universe of time and space collapses once more under the ‘weight of its own transcendent unity’ into a speck.
God has become the seed once more. Pure, undifferentiated potential. And thus the cycle is renewed, anew. And every living being shall clearly have a complete share in it. Every time.”
