The One Creator and Free Will as a Spiritual Concept

You may be wondering why I have emphasized Free Will as a foundational principle throughout these first few sections.  Let’s take a closer look at creation and the nature of the One Creator.  Whether your path thus far is religious, spiritual or a mix of the two; nearly all accept the basic belief that ultimately there is One Creator.  Throughout time, humanity has migrated from a pantheon of gods and deities toward one.  Even in ancient times, there was a recognition that behind the multitude of deities, each governing various aspects of an entities physical illusion, stood one creating principle.  That one principle is the One Infinite Creator.

The Earth, its organisms/plants/animals, humanity, our Sun, the stars, this galaxy we are in, and all of the galaxies we see in the sky – this represents the infinity of creation – at least to our finite perception of reality. That which is infinite cannot be many, for many-ness is a finite concept. To have infinity you must define infinity as unity; otherwise, the term does not have any meaning. In an infinite Creator there is only unity.  Therefore, you are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are unity. 

The One Creator had One Original Thought which was to experience Itself through the manifestation of an infinite creation – this creation is born of the One Original Thought which is Love, the potential for creation.  Light in all its forms is the kinetic energy that manifests the creation.

The One Creator wanted a rich, vivid and deep experience of Itself in this creation, so prior to manifesting all of creation, Free Will was granted to every part of creation.  This is the Law of Free Will if you may. Using Free Will, creation generates a multitude of experiences, so the Creator can experience the Creator through our interactions and life’s variations.  As such, Free Will is a founding principle of the natural law. 

So thus the cycle has completed in its most basic form. Seek using your free will; service others respecting their free will; grow and live in the glory of the One Creator, using free will aligned with your spiritual growth.

There is an opposite contrast between "religions" and spirituality regarding "One Creator".
By the word "religion" here I refer specifically to "Abrahamic Religion" (Christianity, Judaism, Islam) and specifically excluding "Hinduism and Buddhism".
So for the focus of the discussion, let's zoomed in on "Abrahamic" first.

Religion propagate the concept of "One Finite Creator" in contrast to "One Infinite Creator".
Religion dictate that "One Creator" is separated from the creation in contrast to unity / unified with the creation.
As such the religion has not "migrated from a pantheon of gods and deities toward one that is INFINITE".
Religion has migrated from many finite Gods to one finite God, so it's like "Gods consolidation" but the result is still one FINITE God.

The "One Creator" is being referred with name such as "Father+Holy Spirit+Jesus", "Yahweh"/"YHVH" and "Allah" on those religion, when they're discussing in English generally they use the term "God" (or G-d if it's Judaism as saying God's name is forbidden, which we'll discus later).

In Christianity, the general populace is in total confusion due to the weird concept of Trinity.
Understandable given to the history of it's conception which basically the result of mixture between Roman Religion + Judaism + Jesus teachings.
By the concept itself it shows that "God" is "finite".
Given only "finite things" can be divided into (only) 3.

Often one will hear that they often say "Jesus is God".
Try probing further and how about "Father" and "Holy Spirit"?
And they will answer with "Oh yes, those are God too, they're one and the same".
And how about you and me?
Oh you, me are not God.
And how about Buddha, Krishna, Allah.
Oh those are false Gods.

Christianity is a religion based on guilt / sin / mistake, fear and a punishing God(s), as such that salvation is needed.
That's why "original sins" is a key foundation of the religion.
The one ancestor of human kind, named Adam has performed an inheritable sin by eating an apple which makes the God angry.
Thankfully Jesus, the son of that angry God has came down to earth, to be crucified in order for the angry God to forgive human kind.
What human kind need to do to be forgiven of the sin that's being performed by their ancestor is to accept Jesus as (also) God.
Those who refused to do so will be punished by the angry God in eternal hell fire after they die.
Kind of confusing...

Islam is similar to Christianity, only the 'remedy' is different.
God is not consist of 3, but only one, named Allah.
In addition of believing in only Allah, one also need to accept Jesus, by accepting here it means not accepting Jesus as God, but as "God's prophet".
One also need to accept Mohammad as a prophet and totally believe in the holy book titled Quran.
Plus performing the 5 daily prayers, pay the religious tax and performing a pilgrimage to Mecca.
The penalty for those who refused to do so is similar to Christianity.

Judaism is centralized on the contract signed between "forefather" and a God named Yahweh.
The forefather here is a human named Abraham.
The signature of the contract can be seen on male genitals (read: circumcision).

As time progress, only one specific line of Abraham is considered to have a valid contract, the line of Isaac, which then being renamed as Israel.
Thus not all "circumcised people" are valid for that contract anymore.
That's the reason why they often said "The God of our forefather, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob".
Among the term mandated in the contract is to have no other God besides Yahweh.
The reward will be "land inheritance" (holy land) and the preferential treatment by Yahweh over other people.
The chosen people of Israel is preferred by Yahweh over non chosen people of Israel (the term: Goyim)

As time progress, the contract received an addendum, it was amended during the time of Moses.
Now there are 10 commandments that need to be fulfilled because Yahweh has performed a special feat of rescuing the 'chosen people' from slavery in Kemet (Egypt). Without fulfillment of those commandments, the contract is void.
As time furtherly progress beyond Moses, the contract also received many additional addendum to become 613 commandments called Mitzvot.

By the above conception, implicitly it say that other God(s) exist, but only Yahweh should be regarded as our God.
Because we believe in "correct" God which exist among other "false" Gods.
And as a reward Yahweh will regard us above other people, as the chosen one.
Clearly the conception of 'separation' can be detected here.

Thus the conception being introduced by the religion above is a 'finite God'.
Specifically for Yahweh, Ra has also explained in length about it, and why the "commandment" itself is regarded as negative oriented.

In contrast, Law of One (and also other spiritual movements such as Yoga and Buddhism) introduced the conception of an 'infinite God'.
The God that has no boundary on any dimension, the God that is united with it's creation and not separated from it's creation.

Each element of the creation is a finite / bordered piece (identity) of the one borderless infinite.
And the ultimate evolutionary destination for each finite piece is to return back to the infinite.
From having a border (finite) to become borderless again.

all things are one,
that there is no polarity,
no right or wrong,
no disharmony,
but only identity.
All is one, and that one is love/light, light/love, the infinite Creator

Thank you Jafar for this post, we probably all know at another level...

How elating when one reads your line ' The God that has no boundary  on any dimension, the God that is united with it's creation and not separated from its creation. " 

the no boundary brings simply so much elation....  Heart


RE: We Are Seekers (Part 4) - jafar - 02-13-2022

Yes the main focus is not whether there are one or many God(s). (Mono or Poly Theism)
The main focus, thus striking contrast between religion and spirituality is between finite (bordered / separated) God/Creator and infinite (unbordered) God/Creator.

The one that makes me realize this, prior exposure to Ra's material, is actually through Math.
There could be only 1 infinity (∞) as it's impossible to have 'many' infinity.
The term 'many' indicate the existence of a border or limit, which does not exist for infinity.

Any-number is a bordered form or range inside the range of infinity .
1 is always exist in any number, thus it's called the identity number.
7 is 7 X 1, 120 is 120 x 1 and so on.
Even in infinity, ∞ is 1 x ∞ (expected since the multiplying operation happened until infinity but it always involve 1)

Infinity cannot be divided by any finite number / conception, let alone 3.
Because to divide something, we need to first seek out the border / limit, which in the case of infinity, it has none.

Thus when I stumbled on this sentence:

all things are 1,
no disharmony,
but only identity.
All is 1, and that 1 is love/light, light/love, the ∞ Creator

It just resonate with me straight away.

Jafar - thank you for the religious education - sincerely. My diversity of intellectual background is considerable. I will take these concepts into that quiet place for contemplation and let those entities that are willing help me to digest them at a cosmic consciousness level (which I can't do adequately in this 3rd density illusion).

Flofrog - beautiful thoughts to take along in meditation/contemplation.
