    How did it all begin?

    A Love Letter To thee, my dearest ~ yes, ye: the eternal thou! From me, though you may not even remember who I AM, Nor yet our eternal vow of love before time began. Perhaps in the deepest heart of you, crusted over by cares and pleasures, by waking dreams and secret nightmares...

    How did it all begin?

    I thought your explanation was pretty good. Here's mine, from another thread:

    ÜberStory ~ An Occult Chronicle of the Cosmos and Humanity

    5. The Darkness and the Glory The third breath was a cosmic gale which swept up the Godself and hurtled him through the eye of the cyclone, the portal of manifestation. The cosmos was turned inside-out: the light of divine awareness was now encompassed by the darkness ~ God was in the Abyss...

    ÜberStory ~ An Occult Chronicle of the Cosmos and Humanity

    I've made some progress on the story, and also some revisions. New title & subtitle: Part I: Theogenesis The Birth, Death, and Resurrection of God Also, contrary to the note at the end of the preceding post, Part I continues.

    How did it all begin?

    Here's another variation of the Big Bang Theory ~ in fact, a case could be made that it's the original version: ÜberLove All of life is an act of love ~ a neverending spasm of erotic intercourse, a secret liaison between two beings who are the dyadic halves of the whole universe...

    How did it all begin?

    I agree. Luckily we're now in the postmodern age and have progressed to the metascience of intersubjective reality built on the common ground of our stories, dreams, and metanarratives. ;)

    How did it all begin?

    Sorry, I lost track of this thread. Thanks, granpa, for giving it the reuptake! :) Aha ~ it sounds experiential! Care to expand on what you remember? Actually, I'm doing it more as metascience. I made some progress since starting this thread, and then began telling the next stage of...

    ÜberStory ~ An Occult Chronicle of the Cosmos and Humanity

    ÜberStory Part I 4. The Threshold There is a difference in the condition of Spirit/God at the outer and innermost extremities of the Ajnasphere, as well as a whole range of gradations in between. The sphere is beyond space and time, but since we humans are oriented to conditions in the...

    ÜberStory ~ An Occult Chronicle of the Cosmos and Humanity

    ÜberStory Part I 3. The Highest Love As we all know, God is love. But if in the beginning God is One, All and Everything with nothing and no one outside himself, how then can God have or be or know love, since love requires Two? If in that protean, pristine state, God had love for naught...

    ÜberStory ~ An Occult Chronicle of the Cosmos and Humanity

    I'm familiar with it, but when I delved into it I found that I'm not compatible with it in some important ways. But I'm sure it contains many vital truths, so if you're conversant with it, feel free to share anything relevant to our subject-matter here!

    ÜberStory ~ An Occult Chronicle of the Cosmos and Humanity

    ÜberStory Part I 2. The Soul of the Universe In the second round of Supernal unfoldment, OM breathes out into the sphere that was formed in the first. This is how each successive breath forms a new sphere, each slightly smaller than the one before, and nested within it. Now we are in sphere...

    ÜberStory ~ An Occult Chronicle of the Cosmos and Humanity

    As for me, I've long been driven by the urge to fathom the mysteries of creation and cosmic evolution, so I imagine that this is part of the purpose of my life, which I must fulfill. As for science, it has done a good job of charting and explaining the physical part of cosmic evolution, but...

    ÜberStory ~ An Occult Chronicle of the Cosmos and Humanity

    Thanks for sharing this. Having been raised Christian, I thought at first that it was Genesis ~ then I got the surprise of seeing that it was an unfamiliar variation, though very similar. Then I looked down at the reverence-link and saw it was from the Quran. Would you care to say anything...

    ÜberStory ~ An Occult Chronicle of the Cosmos and Humanity

    Part I: The Supernal Realm 1. The Crown of Creation The first breath of OM was the first chord of the cosmic overture, and the first breach in its perfection. There was a pause of a single heartbeat between is and is not, a hairsbreadth fissure into two constituents: Nothingness, and a...

    ÜberStory ~ An Occult Chronicle of the Cosmos and Humanity

    Yes. That will become clearer as the story proceeds. Meanwhile, note that the Omnicosm has seven spheres....

    ÜberStory ~ An Occult Chronicle of the Cosmos and Humanity

    The ÜberStory is charted in the Omnicosm Chapter 0: OM Some people who attain a high degree of enlightenment tell us that the ultimate reality is nothing ~ a kind of blissful non-being, Nirvana. Others say that this big blankness is merely a door or barrier to an incredible realm...

    ÜberStory ~ An Occult Chronicle of the Cosmos and Humanity

    This is a work in progress which I'll present here in hopes of getting some feedback. The text is not yet carved in stone (or silicon), and I'm open to creative input. It's already been helpfully informed by comments from a couple of knowledgeable people in the forums. I'm planning to post...

    Pics of Your Religion!

    There are some beautiful, awe-inspiring, and mind-blowing images on this thread ~ thanks to everyone for posting them. Here's my favorite: I'm doing some work with the theme of the ancient traditions and their deities cast in the expanded paradigm of the modern astronomical cosmos. This...

    Halloween

    In our brief exchange you have accomplished your goal, and I thank you. There's a bit of sync in that I recently created names for the eight seasons of the year (i.e. divided by the Cross-Quarter days): WinterWax till Brigid/Imbolg, then WinterWane; SpringWax till MayDay/Beltane, then...
