Theology is Prayer Technology, the Bible is Its Manual
That is my opinion, anyway. More forthcoming.
I think it is a general misconception that "in the beginning" refers to a period of time. 'In' does not, in my opinion, mean at that time, but indicates the substance that the Beginning was made out of. So "in the beginning was the Word" means the Word WAS the beginning thing: it was IN what was "the Beginning." In Genesis 1:1, the Ineffable is the substance of the Son who was the Beginning. AS this Beginning, essentially Its own action, the Ineffable created - imagined/planned all the way through - God, the Heavens, and the Earth. What was the Beginning, the Son or Word or Manifestation that the Ineffable was? Thought. Mind. Imagination. Consciousness. Everything was created as this prayer. And now we are on board.
It has taken me a long time to figure out that Moses continues on this level in his theology of prayer, the Pentateuch. I understand that it mentions dust and earth, but Adam, Eve, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph - they are all manifestations of the Ineffable's mind. Noah's animals are thoughts; goats and flocks are philosophical, sacrificial thoughts. It is all on mind level. Moses was saying, "You want to pray? You do it in and with your mind - that's where the action is. That's where the power is, in it's continuity with the Ineffable who sent it, who actually IS it."
