Live In the Beginning


I get to choose whether to live at the end of the world or at the beginning of the world, because the end and the beginning occur simultaneously each moment.

If I choose to see earth's energy as a field of destruction, I am a particle with a very short half-life. If I choose to see earth's energy as a field of creation, I am a wave in the ocean of eternity.

Faith dwells constantly "in the beginning," when out of a formless void God says, "Let there be light." Faith means participating in creation as a wave of light rather than a separate particle.

We do not fear the future, we fear the past. All fear arises from images of memory, and we project these particles of the past to make them concrete, as the future. The only prophecy we need to take seriously is the projection of our own fears.

To live by faith is to become a wave of Presence, and drop the particles of memory.
Drop the mind of the past, and what remains is joyful emptiness, full of expectation, overflowing with waves of possibility.
Out of the living void springs a New Creation.
