Darkness had been upon the face of the waters before they were drawn from the eternal realm, but those waters were not part of any darkness; nor were the waters subjected to its influence. The waters of the eternal realm are Living Waters, and in them all life is secured.

To say that darkness was before their faces is to say that the door to the temporal had not yet opened. The temporal life forms those waters would sustain had not been defined, and challenges had yet to be savored. Thus, the spirit of HaShem hovered over the face of the Living Waters, drawing upon their light.

There is evening and there is morning: hidden potential is followed by open reality. The command, “Let there be light,” opened a doorway to all potential. The light of HaShem drank the dew of life from the eternal waters; refreshed, he would carry those waters forward to receptive temporal realms.

The father’s projected word—the logos enunciated as the full measurement of his essence, the light of the godhead—carried its living pattern into the skirts of time, filling all temporal realms with seed, with the zeal of an only-begotten son. HaShem saw the light, that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness, which could not prevail.

On day one, the precedent for both firmament and expanse had been established, allowing the formation of discrete elements of creation. “Let there be” was tacit acknowledgment that yet other elements of creation had already been envisioned and would soon be called forth.

The interplay between the possible and the actual established a most dramatic expanse in the core firmament, which fused together the poles of all temporal realms, welding their destiny within the mind of HaShem. On day two, the parameters of all firmaments and expanses were established.

Firmaments exist in many scales within creation, from the sub-atomic to the galactic; but they all share the same principles. At all scales, wheels turn within wheels; and the firmament pertaining to each discrete wheel joins what it also holds as separate. In a sense, firmament are as the axles bridging the expanses, which are the living wheels of Ezekiel’s vision.

Consider: around the nucleus of every atom there are expanses— orbitals— that capture and hold the electrons that differentiate one element from another. The atom’s nucleus is the parent expanse; its orbitals are secondary expanses; and the invisible force fields between the positive and negative polarities cloak the atom’s firmament. In molecular combination, electrons adopt logical positions within colliding expanses as required by the melding of the elemental profile, establishing order where chaos would prevail.

Because they join what they hold as separate, firmaments establish interface between discrete realms. For example, water is the molecular structure of elemental gases, in which two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom to produce the liquid.

The firmaments and expanses of the two elements of water are not lost in the compound. They retain their core atomic characteristics, which include the principle that their firmaments are open to combination in the molecular realm.

Their combination creates a binding firmament that determines the parameters of the molecular expanse; and the molecular firmament, also open to combination, probes surface tensions of neighboring expanses.

Wheels turn within wheels. I write of atoms and molecules, but these terms are only conventions used to study the continuum we call creation, which is comprised not of materials, but of valencies that are held together by the dynamics of firmaments and their expanses. Creation is like a hologram, but it is not a hologram; for its masses are rooted in sound, not light.

Creation is a word, a logical statement. It is the body of divine thought. If it were possible to cross-section reality, we would discover data points beaming along the wires of its firmaments; for firmaments are as tunneling expanses—they are expanses elongated and activated by vibration.

Sound rippling out from within the thin envelope of form carries data between the inner and outer spheres of the expanses they join as one formulation.

A thing or a creature may seem solid and alive at one observation point in the continuum but appear to be fragmented and, arguably, dead at others. I say “arguably,” because each measurement gives way to the next, and all temporal conclusions are based on available data at any given point of observation, none of which can quantify the effect of wheels turning within wheels.

The just shall live by faith; for there is no other logical way to live. We arise each morning and proclaim that HaShem hwhy has made the day, resolving to rejoice and be glad in it, whatever it might bring; for this is our rest, and the day’s intricacies cannot be memorialized in any mausoleum of knowledge. If a man thinks he knows anything at all, he knows yet nothing as he should. The just live by faith.

In the beginning, HaShem divided the waters that were above the firmament from the waters that were below the firmament; and it was so. And la called the firmament heaven. “Living Waters” are of the eternal realm, not of realms isolated above or below.

Created on the second day, heaven is the expanse within the temporal realm that supports immortal life; and it also functions as firmament of that realm’s material expanse, which supports the mortal life of earth. The eternal realm emanates temporal heaven, which feeds into earth.

Heaven always existed in the mind of God, and it became reality when drawn from the Living Waters and then given expression by God’s word. Distilled within the expanse of heaven, the holy waters are turned into wine that siphons down to earth as parables intended to slake thirst of those seeking the source of life, whetting their interest in stronger drink.

There’s a living la creation cannot contain, and yet the infinite one is aware of each of us at every instant of our finite lives, as unremarkable as they might seem. We are children, the best of us; and at our worst, we indulge infancy by surrendering to things we crave but dare not mention.

Creation is a divine contrivance that is designed to teach us how we are to live, as breath follows upon breath. We act or we do not, and we learn or we don’t; but the cost of error is prorated according to our understanding, and the grace of a merciful la wars against bitterness, making our necks supple again and softening our hearts.

Like earth, heaven is a created realm. It’s a temporal manifestation that has not always been clean in the sight of HaShem. Man is a little lower than the angels in form, but not in function; for our mortality plays an important role in the cleansing of temporal realms. All things shall be renewed when the Sons of Man overcome through unity with HaShem. “Behold,” says HaShem, “I create all things new.”

When the spiral that had begun when iniquity was discovered shall regain its congruence with the circle of divine perfection, creature and creator will be reunited as one. In that moment, death and disorder will not be found, and the immortal angels, who shouted for joy at the creation of man, will put on the immortal garments prepared for them as they labored on earth for the harvest called the Kingdom of Names.

Earth xra cradles mortality. It is the context hmda within which immortal star seed a has the opportunity d to bathe m in the light h of the father a, who is responsible r for his children’s redemption x.

The children became impaired when iniquity was found in them. As creator, HaShem might have simply destroyed them and raised up others in their stead. He had done so, but not after the manner of men. In righteousness, the father chose mercy over sacrifice; for his children had stumbled through no fault of their own.

He would groom their lives after the pattern of the vine. Preserving the root, he would prepare for each cycle of growth by preserving cuttings from tender foliage, if root and seed should fail. The lifeline from first planting to final harvest would be unbroken.

To this the angels had agreed; for they would be revitalized in the intervals between seasons by the cleansing fire of heaven. They would not have been comfortable living everlasting lives in souls maimed by imperfection.

Again and again, therefore, they had ventured to earth to overcome error within its cooler fires. Like heaven, earth was never a final destination. Both are way stations, clearinghouses, in which we complete many circuits, exchanging the old for the new.

It is written, “Behold, I create all things new.” This is true not only of great cycles, but also of the moments of each day. We know by each beat of our hearts that more is coming than we can foresee, especially if our eyes should be fixed blindly on the abyss.

That there is more awaiting us than heaven offers is understood in the book of Revelation, in which a voice comes from an expanse above the heavenly throne, which calls to mind the transfiguration parable, in which the voice comes as from above a cloud-like expanse, admonishing the expanse formed by the on-looking apostles by means of a firmament of sound, assuring them of Y’shua’s anointing by saying, “This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.”

There are wheels within wheels. With the command, “Let there be,” the essence of
HaShem hwhy, which had known no beginning within eternity, put upon itself a beginning.

In creating the paradigm of time, the unqualified became qualified; the limitless, limited. In the gospels, HaShem is seen as the charioteer within the chariot, sending forth his emissaries by twos; for all things in heaven and earth are paired.

HaShem is beyond the limits of any paradigm. Firmaments empty into expanses; and expanses gather themselves, that they might be projected as firmaments. With no ceiling, HaShem chose to establish a floor, the bedrock Name hwhy.

By means of the interplay between cause hy and effect hw, HaShem became both the
creator hy and the deliverer hw. He chose to be magnified within time by becoming the magnet—the focal point—for all that time would come to enfold. To that end, HaShem’s word was projected from the eternal into the temporal: to create, to uphold, to save, to redeem, and to rule by consent.

HaShem laid down his essence in the eternal, that he might shed it abroad in the temporal, sharing his life with all creatures. His fullest expression was measured within the Sons of Man. All mortals reborn within God’s spirit recognize divinity within all life and serve that vision over any temporal advantage, having learned the meaning of the admonition, “I will have mercy, not sacrifice.”
