2: The Image

“This is freaky, Pat. Where are we?”

“Infinity, Barb. Don’t be afraid. We are merely beyond the geometers.”

“You keep using that word. I don’t understand it.”

“Geometer? It’s the source of things, Barb. The material universe is a geometric progression of energy in motion.”

“But what is a geometer?”

“It is like a general assumption. In the divine mind. Looking at it from the energy universe, if we could, it would appear as a particularized point in nothingness. The heart, in other words, of the tiniest energy field. The geometer emanates from the causal field of creation and begins to assume geometric proportions, expressed as physical energy and as dictated inherently by the original geometer. A geometric progression is established and pretty soon, relatively, a geometric field is established.”

“I guess I understand that.”

“Very simple, really, as are all truths.”

“How many geometers are there?”

“Many. A geometer exists for each field.”

“What is a ‘field’?”

“You are one. I am one. Earth is one. Sun is one. See? There are many.”

“A flea is a geometric field?”

“Oh yes. And each has its geometer.”

“The geometer is the creator, then. How does it work?”

“No, it is the creative medium. And it works like, well, like a lens, through which is projected the divine idea.”

“What is this projection? Is it energy?”

“No. Think of it as a mental umbilical cord. One without substance, physical substance, in other words. Extending from the geometer, or warp of nothingness, into the geometric field-to-be. At a pre-ordained point of evolution, this umbilical is severed. It . . . I see it as . . . it isn’t severed at the field, but at the warp, and it . . . it flashed down like a beam of light and is absorbed at some particularized point within the geometric field. At that point, Barb, creation has manifested.”

“You used the word ‘evolution’. Evolution is still a valid concept?”

“Oh yes. Evolution is the out-picturing of the divine idea. Remember our discussion of deductive and inductive thought? Evolution is the particularization of divine mind, expressed deductively. The plan, in other words, falling into place.”

“That sounds paradoxical. Evolution seems to be a ‘gathering together’, not a fragmentation.”

“Yes, it is paradoxical. Remember, though, that the image was whole and complete, as formed in divine mind. In the out-picturing the image is broken down into particulars. Evolution is merely the struggle, you could call it an inductive struggle, to rebuild the particulars into the original general assumption.”

“Adaptation of the species, survival of the fittest . . . all this is just a re-formation of something that has already been?”

“A re-formation through energy, Barb. That is creation.”

“Sounds frightening to me.”

“Only until you fully understand. Then it is beautiful.”

“I see a very giddy implication there, Pat. We can’t speak of ‘creation’ as though it were something already accomplished . . . as an historical event at some point in the past.”

“You’re getting it.”

“Yes. Our classic concept of creation is only a fragment of the truth. There has not been a creation. There is being a creation.
