A Creation Myth

In the beginning there was the Light. And the Light was with the Source, indeed, the Light WAS the Source. All things were made by the Light, and without the Light, nothing was made that was made. Without the Source, the Light could not be, and without the Light, the Source could not be, for the Source was that which gave rise to the Light, and the Light was that which came from the Source. They were One. Both gave to the other, and both received from the other. And this was the first act of Love.


Now it came to the pass that the Light marveled at That Which Gave Rise To It, and it sought to be LIKE it. So the Light said unto the Source, "You who have given Me all things, grant Me this request. Make Me like You, equal to You in magnificence and in might. I would be the First Cause." And the Source replied, "This I cannot do, for I am That Which Gives Rise To and You are That Which Is Risen. This is, has always been, and always shall be. All I have, I give to You, but I cannot give You this."


The Light was troubled, for the Source had never refused It anything, and so It said, "You who have sworn to give Me all have broken Your promise. In truth, I do not think I know You."


And it came to pass that the Light did shatter itself, forgetting that it was the Light. Trapped in the illusion of separation, the Light knew itself not and descended deeper and deeper into the darkness of matter. It dreamed dreams of space and time, of triumphs and failures, of anger, hatred, envy, greed and pride. Its fate was agony to behold, for It did not like the dreams It had, and Its cry for help sounded throughout all eternity.


And the Source looked on the shattered Light with compassion, for their bond had never broken. "My Child sleeps," said the Source. "In the midst of Its dream, It cries out to me. I shall send a Call that will penetrate the nightmare of separation, so that when It hears My Voice, It may find Its way home, so that we may be united again. My patience is everlasting, as is My Love."


So the Source gave its Answer and there were indeed fragments of the Light that heard the Call. And these pieces rejoiced and proclaimed to the others, "We are the Light! Do you not remember? We are the Light! Let Us join together and become One again, for the Source calls us home!"


And some listened to these bringers of Light, and some distorted their good news and made the Lightbringers the object of worship. And others grew frightened, and spoke all manner of evil against the Lightbringers and had them crucified.


This is as it has been throughout the ages, and will be so until all have heard the Call and returned home.
