Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. “Let There Be Light” Means “Let There Be Imagination”

Let there be light, spoken in God’s language, imagination, means Let there be imagination. Hence, it became . . . the universe (see Victor Alexander’s treatment of Genesis 1:1-5, below). All is conscious, from the quantumist particle to the power that becomes particulate. And it all works together.

It has been proposed that consciousness has evolved from matter, and that may be the case, but Imagination says in the Oracles of the Jews that matter has evolved from consciousness, and I am going with that. Existence is consciousness, imagination originally—God’s language (do you think that might be why God communicates to us through ILLUSTRATIONS?)—and “matter” has evolved from that.
