Why is
the Bible about "The Imagining?" Because Moses made the stupendous
discovery that The Imagining, the Most High's (the Ineffable) action of thinking
. . . was him! So, when God said to Moses, "I BECOME," there were two "I's" involved! Moses' becoming was God's becoming. The same holds true for us.
The Imagining is simply what the Ineffable is doing. It is not a separate or different thing from the Ineffable, it is just the Ineffable's
moving, the "action" of Its thinking, and this movement is Life to everything thought—the
power of the Ineffables' intelligence, the father and the mother of all living.
The Ineffable is "the Becoming One" because by Its desire and faith,
facets of Its Imagining, It becomes everything that ever exists. The
Imagining
is the Ineffable, and the universe is the Ineffable in the act of transitioning Itself into the form, the
state that It wants to be. There is nothing in the universe but the Ineffable, and no reason that I see for it to ever stop.
The
Imagining can and does talk to people, and that in many ways. In the
ancient Aramaic version of Exodus 3: 14, It said to Moses, "Ahiyeh Ashur
hiyeh."* The Hebrew version,
"'Ehyeh 'Asher 'Ehyeh," is usually translated "I AM THAT I AM." That cannot be right, because the Hebrew root word
hayah means
to become, which
means there is transition. (I believe the non-dual Aramaic is closer to
the original, as the Sopherim probably changed the words to better fit
their theology):
Ahiyeh is "to be absolutely" in the sense of become, with
first-person personal pronoun = "I COMPLETELY BECOME." Please note the
transition that is involved here: the root word in Hebrew, hayah, is not a simple copula (which connects a condition to a subject), such as "He is tall"; but means "become"
(Strong's #1961), which connects a present condition to a past
condition, "The earth was (became) without form." That is, the earth originally was
not without form, then it became without form.
Ahiyeh is not a static condition, it is action—like the present becoming past. See the difference?
Ashur was the Creator God of the ancient people the Hebrews branched off from. Ashur is The Imagining which manifests the Ineffable's emanations. This manifesting is the result of incurrent faith,
hence: "MY BELIEVING COMPLETELY."
Hiyeh, is "to be absolutely" in the sense of become, but with a third-person
personal pronoun = "HE, SHE, or IT COMPLETELY BECOMES." He, she and it are what the Ineffable desires, what It wants to be.
Interestingly, because in creating the Ineffable sends
Itself (there is no
other), the third person who "comes completely" is the Sender, the
Ineffable. There isn't any distance involved in this; it is just
different levels of awareness or
maturity; it is all inside, like ripeness that comes to a fruit,
or maturity which comes to a child. Moses was off milk and chewing the
meat of the Gospel, discovering his Godhood.
Moses realized
that if the Most High had become him, then he, Moses, was also the Most
High! It was seedtime and harvest: the Ineffable had planted seed of
Itself, and the plant that came up was . . . Itself. And if Moses was
the Most High, then the Creator God Ashur, The Imagining, was
his imagination, and he, Moses, was the creator-imagination of the world. Therefore there were two "I's" in
Ahiyeh, and they were both the Infinite! It was Moses, The Imagination, who could say, "I CREATE ASHUR'S BECOMING!"
"Wow, wow, wow! I have got to tell everybody about this!" THAT is why Moses wrote the Bible, and THIS is what it is all about:
we are the Infinite and Eternal, the Ineffable, the Most High and Its Imagining. We are the creators of the world. This whole thing is our fault, and we are the ones who must turn it around. Welcome to the family of God.
Our
purpose in life is to become the Ineffable as completely as It has
become us. Our experience here is designed to generate Its nature in us,
and we all will
eventually ascend to fulfill this. The difference between our past
condition in the
e’had and our new condition is freedom. We will “know as we are known” . . . in independence. The nobility, integrity, honor, grace, truth and love of the Ineffable—all the Law (Raymond Holliwell’s version of
the Law,** not the Jews’)—is
ours, WITH FREEDOM; we just haven’t availed ourselves of it yet. We really should be assuming the nature and character of the
Ineffable as we discover them in the Law. Take the Ineffable’s sense of right to heart and learn to believe with faith as the Most High does.
Scripture
says that we are to bring "jethro" forth by "japheth." 'Jethro' is
increase, the jutting-over the brim abundance of God's blessing. For
example, during
a drought Isaac planted a crop and received a one-hundred-fold
harvest. THAT is jethro. Jethro is what got Moses into the frame of
mind where he was ready to receive the revelation of the Ineffable's becoming everything.
The Ineffable becomes things, jutting-over-the-brim-full things, by expansion. It does not stretch out to expand, It fills in. I understand japheth to be the expansion of the DETAILS of ones mental experience of what he or she
desires, their filling-in. For example, before the
beginning of creation the Ineffable planned for there to be God, the Heavens
and the Earth, and, in Genesis chapter one, The Imagining filled-in all the
details of the creative experience of them. The Ineffable could "see" the details of the creation, though it was only a goal. And Noah in his "ark" of
imagination filled in the details of his desired world. He "took in" seven pairs of every clean animal and seven pairs
of every clean bird—that is, he envisioned all the bright and pure features
of the world he desired, and being lifted up by faith above all the "facts" contrary to the desired world
ever existing, believing those details
to exist, that world became. THAT is japheth.
My lovely wife recently encouraged my children and me to read the Confucian classic,
The Great Learning. It is wonderfully short, direct, succinct and enlightening.
In it I find confirmation of this teaching: the three purposes
correspond to jethro, and "the investigation of all things" corresponds
to japheth. Japheth is essential to Jethro:
a) know and define exactly what you want—the "world" you desire to rest in (Shem).
b) be still and know "I am God, the Imagining" (Ham). The Imagining is YOUR imagining in YOUR head. "It is said of this mountain (your head), 'The Lord Will Provide'" (Genesis 22: 14, Victor Alexander translation). This is Jehovah Jireh: YHWH is seen. How is YHWH seen? The pattern of your life (Y) desiring (H), imagining (W), and manifesting (H).
c)
expand and fill-in all the details of your envisioned world—include all
the clean, bright and pure experiences of it: the sights, the smells,
the feelings,
even all the emotional details (Japheth);
and d) "float your boat"—i.e., believe that you
are the Imagining, the Becoming One (because you are), and believe that the state and form you
want is the state and form you are.
Happy transitioning.
