<strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> an infinite-intelligence-Creator. . . each human knows in its innermost knowing that<br />

it is part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Creator.”(77) . . . our growth as souls is <strong>the</strong> same as God’s growth as God . . . The<br />

infinite creation in its totality is <strong>the</strong> One Infinite Being, <strong>the</strong> One Being which is aware <strong>of</strong> itself to <strong>the</strong><br />

extent that its different aspects are aware <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>mselves, as a part <strong>of</strong> all that is.”<br />

Not separate interpretations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> act <strong>of</strong> Creation, <strong>the</strong>se different statement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nine<br />

simply express <strong>the</strong> same idea in many different forms for many different levels <strong>of</strong> consciousness<br />

to understand. They try to explain <strong>the</strong> unexplainable in words that our human minds can get a<br />

grip on. This, too, is true <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> final way in which <strong>the</strong>se higher intelligence Beings seek to<br />

express <strong>the</strong> wonder and <strong>the</strong> awe <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> original act <strong>of</strong> Creation, Again, it is an archetypal image<br />

that all <strong>of</strong> Creation exists in <strong>the</strong> body <strong>of</strong> God, that each one <strong>of</strong> us is a piece <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mirror that is<br />

God—<strong>the</strong> Creator, and that everything stems from intent:<br />

“In <strong>the</strong> beginning was <strong>the</strong> Word” is a translation error according to <strong>the</strong> Nine. To Them it<br />

should be translated as <strong>the</strong> fact that <strong>the</strong> Creator came forth and said, “That which is, that which I<br />

am, will be . . . First, before <strong>the</strong> manifestation <strong>of</strong> any method or any creation <strong>the</strong>re was <strong>the</strong><br />

communication <strong>of</strong> Being . . . God created us in his own image . . . That means that all that God is<br />

you are, and all that God knows you know, all that is good is contained within you, all that is pure<br />

is contained within you.”<br />

In his commentary on <strong>the</strong> information contained in <strong>the</strong> channelings, Palden Jenkens makes<br />

<strong>the</strong> statement that <strong>the</strong> channelings imply that not only were we created to receive love, but also to<br />

generate it in order to fur<strong>the</strong>r God’s growth. This is similar to <strong>the</strong> idea contained in <strong>the</strong> recent<br />

movie The Matrix where human beings are considered to be power cells to be used by<br />

‘mechanical beings.’ Only, in this case, people supply energy both to God, as well as gaining<br />

power from God. If it is anything that moves and supports us in this Creation, it is Love. And just<br />

as in The Matrix, it is <strong>the</strong> energy potential for Love that <strong>the</strong> Dark side seeks to steal from us and<br />

use because it is <strong>the</strong> ultimate energy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Universe. How many <strong>of</strong> us here on <strong>the</strong> planet feel that<br />

we have been drained <strong>of</strong> all Love, and don’t understand how to replenish it? What is <strong>the</strong><br />

seemingly ultimate search for each <strong>of</strong> one us within our own hearts but to find Love?<br />

For Jenkins this idea <strong>of</strong> being apart <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> much larger whole <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Creator Itself gives a<br />

very real sense <strong>of</strong> participating in Divinity, not just being subject to it. We, as humans, can “create<br />

a spiral feedback-loop <strong>of</strong> love where we are not just subjects <strong>of</strong> God, but active atoms within<br />

God,(and) in no way separate (from It).”<br />

A somewhat more succinct version <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Creation can be found in <strong>the</strong> Holy Bible, Revised<br />

Standard Edition, where <strong>the</strong> first seed is described with very little fanfare:<br />

“In <strong>the</strong> beginning was <strong>the</strong> Word, and <strong>the</strong> Word was with God, and <strong>the</strong> Word was God. He<br />

was in <strong>the</strong> beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not<br />

anything made that was made. In him was life, and <strong>the</strong> life was <strong>the</strong> light <strong>of</strong> men. The light shines<br />

in <strong>the</strong> darkness, and <strong>the</strong> darkness has not overcome it.” (The correct Greek term for Word was<br />

logos, which could best be understood as ‘inherent order’ or ‘design.’)<br />

The widespread influence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Christian Church and its version <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Creation story on<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r religions and o<strong>the</strong>r cultures which <strong>the</strong>y came to control, is evidenced in <strong>the</strong> Creation story <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Efe people <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> African nation <strong>of</strong> Zaire.<br />
