Guest: How did this whole thing happen? In the beginning there was God.
Abe: Yes, but God in the beginning was far different than that which we are all calling God now, is. Because God is so much further expanded.
Guest: Right, but there, but there was a beginning. I mean, that, that’s something that’s always been hard for me to understand clear back as a child is - there is no beginning, there is no end. We always were. We always will be.
Abe: Well, the easiest way to explain it or maybe the best excuse we have for not explaining it is, we are all pointed forward. In other words, the new thought is born out of what is NOW. And as we turn our attention to the new thought, then we expand joyously with the new thought.
And in truth, we cannot look back. Because we cannot reclaim the vibration that was before - where we are NOW.
And so, those who have been tuned into this energy that [was] translated by saying, “There is no beginning & there is no ending”. That’s the best description they can do with this ongoing
Guest: Right.
Abe: energy from where you stand. In other words, those actually are extremely accurate words. Let’s take a simple thought or idea and ponder it for a moment.
In the moment that any consciousness - now this is where your question is, “What was the first consciousness?” But, but, let’s leave that behind for just a moment.
So here is a consciousness having a thought. And in the moment that that thought begins to offer a vibration, now there is a difference between the vibrating thought and the thought that was thought right before that thought vibrated.
So there is vibrational difference between the two thoughts and vibrational perspective.
So now, this thought which has become an immediate thinker, can now perceive that thought as that thought can perceive that thought.
And in that process, there is born yet another thought, and yet another thought, and yet another thought. And the expansion is so fast and so quick.
In other words, you think that it is amazing to watch cells replicate in a petri dish. You should see what thoughts are doing.
And so, the thinker thinks the thought, now the thought becomes the thinker.
And that thinker thinks a thought and that thought becomes the thinker, which thinks a thought.
And so it is just exponentially exploding. And at the basis of all of it [is] this energy or Stream of Well Being.
So you say, “Where did the Stream get started?” And we say, within everything there is that which is and the absence of it.
And that is the duality of your Universe that exists. And so, for something to exist there has to be an awareness of the absence of it. And the absence of it is what makes its existence possible. Interesting isn’t it?
And so, then just that perspective continues to cause it to expand. and so, now when you speak of that which is God, we say God has been expanding right here in this room as together we are taking thought beyond that which it has been before.
