Creation One

Once upon a time, the Lord of spiritual consciousness
Was sitting peacefully on His blissful throne 
Ceaselessly contemplating upon His equilibrium
T’ was the era of no moon, no sun, no stars, no earth, 
No oceans, no rivers
Just a motionless, timeless and deathless entity it was
Happy with His existence  

Suddenly the thought of sacred motion was felt
Deep down in his essence
Seeking the chaos to be stirred 
From its core outwardly
Consequently separating the light from the darkness and
All the other elements that constitute the Cosmos
Thus giving birth immediately to old mighty time

When Time: This wizard of celestial art found himself alive
His expert hands stretched in advance, wanting to create
For that the plastic energy he took, that was everywhere around
And skillfully and patiently the Cosmos carved according to the Logos
Creating thus, the nebulae, the galaxies, the stars and all the other planets.

Then God looked at times creation and marveled with its beauty
But as there was no life to be seen in all of this creation
The thought of desire was born in God to inhabit every place
For that out of himself he cut myriads of blazing souls
Which like shooting stars he sent downwards to animate nature,

That was the way the souls beamed to manifestation’s cosmic sphere
Radiating their luminosity to reality’s lower planes  
Bringing with them the sacred principles to denser forms of life
As they were passing from the spiritual, the mental and the astral
And finally materializing, themselves on the physical solid plane
Where life began on earth, with God’s will and grace!

I found it on page 14! This is simply stunning, Demetrios! I am in awe of your mind! Seeking the chaos to be stirred from its core outwardly! Your description is to be reckoned with! Well worth the search! Thank you for directing me to this gem my friend! Latin from Greek the word "Chaos" meaning Open orbit, doesn't really do itself justice, or does it?

I am happy you liked it! My purpose though is not to impress you but to indicate the path so you, by your own, efforts, to understand! Chaos is a Greek word which was used first by the poet, Hesiod, 8th-7th century BC. With Chaos he means the formless energy, the state of things before creation. When Creation took place and the Cosmos (Greek word meaning the orderly totality of things) the Chaos stopped to exist! Now if you wish you could read "WHO AM I?" and "KNOW THYSELF" later on I will give you more titles so as to share my understanding and help you develop yours further! Thank you!

For that out of himself he cut myriads of blazing souls Which like shooting stars he sent downwards to animate nature: my favorite lines on this narrative of creation! You took Genesis and gave it a poetic twist that teases some theological concepts! ;)
