Erich Von Daniken - The Gold Of The Gods

7 - "IT"
each bit adds a new factor, personal experience, to the original
"personal consciousness" of the great machine. From the moment of
the explosion to the moment of return no "bit" knew that it was a
minute part of a larger consciousness and was now going to be so
again.
If an individual bit with its minimal thinking capacity had been able to
ask "What is the sense and purpose of my headlong journey?" or "Who
created me, where do I come from?" it would have received no answer.
Nevertheless, it was the beginning and end of an act, a kind of
"creation" of consciousness multiplied by the factor "experience."
Only right at the end, at Teilhard de Chardin's (1881-1955)
Omega-point, shall we know again that we unite in ourselves the cause
and result of creation.
It seems to me to be an incontrovertible idea that IT, synonym for the
concept GOD, must have existed before the original big bang. St. John
the Divine, who shows in Revelations that he had access to secret
texts, described the origin of all being:
"In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God."
"All things were made by him;
and without him
was not anything
made that was made."
That would all be logical if the concept God had not been loaded in the
course of two thousand years with accretions which provide us with a
story of the creation suitable for children and savages, but which
prevent us from getting to the heart of the real mystery of the creation.
But if the phenomenon IT (God) decided to transform itself into
matter, then IT is the creation and at the same time a product of its
