continuing Theosophy...
Our species seems to feel a need to justify our beliefs; hence as we evolved, we took our Myths and Creation Stories, recorded them, and thus made them Holy for ourselves.
The Creation Stories as told in Sacred Texts:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters.
The Bible - Revised Standard Version
"Of all that is material and all that is spiritual in this world, know for certain that I am both the origin and the dissolution."
(VII, 6)
"I am the source of everything; from Me the entire creation flows." (X,8)
"I am the source of everything; from Me the entire creation flows." (X,8)
The Bhagavad-gita
There was something featureless yet complete,
born before heaven and earth;
Silent- amorphous-
it stood alone and unchanging.
We may regard it as the mother of heaven and earth.
Tao Te Ching
He, then, alone who is not made, 'tis clear, is both beyond all power of thinking-manifest, and is unmanifest.
And as He thinketh all things manifest, He manifests through all things and in all, and most of all in whatsoever things He wills to manifest.
The Corpus Hermeticum
The line is obviously drawn. Whether fanciful fabrication or not, Myths of Creation provide the foundation for Religious Philosophy and the many texts held sacred in cultures throughout the world.
We now reckon ourselves to be in our 21st century (Yes? No? Maybe...) and still we discuss, expound, try to quantify and war over our beliefs as if the loudest or the strongest could ultimately prove their own version the everlasting Truth. What is to prove?
