Creation Part 1

Light, Soul and Consciousness

Submitted by VishwaAmara on August 19, 2010
Man has always been fascinated by the enormity of Creation. While pondering over
the vastness of an ocean, or a blue sky or the picturesque display of the night
sky, a number of questions about the meaning of Life must ve stirred up within hi
m. These questions have made him rise above the everyday struggles of Life, prod
ding him on to explore and understand more about himself in the process.
To understand the immensity of God s creation one has to just look up at the night
sky a deep unending void with billions and billions of stars and galaxies, sepa
rated by a colossal empty space. Our astronomers and scientists now say that eve
n this gigantic space is like the tip of a pin when compared to actual Existence
, which is beyond bounds. And all these are in the known Universe, in the third
dimensional space. Now scientists are even speculating about the existence of mu
ltiple dimensions, Worlds within Worlds and parallel Universes
and the sheer eno
rmity of Existence blows away our mind . It makes one wonder, What s the purpose of
this all? , In all of this huge creation, does life exist only on our tiny planet? ,
Is there life beyond what we ve seen and known until now? , What s our relation to this
whole? What s the purpose of our life?
It looks daunting to understand these truths or answer these questions even inte
llectually. The Spiritual masters, Rishis, in their deep states of Samadhi were
able to grasp many truths directly, when their awareness transcended the intelle
ct and expanded to the mystical realms. They also traveled to these Universes at
the Causal level and explored these places. They could understand many of the r
ealities of God s creation, which they brought down and explained to others and al
so recorded them in the scriptures. As time passed and as more knowledge was rev
ealed about Existence, the Rishis periodically revised the existing truths and k
nowledge, giving us more information about the higher realities.
Maharshi Amara, during his lifetime, simplified the knowledge in our Vedas and U
panishads and gave the essence of that knowledge in the form of the story of cre
ation. More truths about creation were recently revealed by the Rishis. The foll
owing account helps us to understand the basics of God s creation and also gives u
s a platform to understand many more higher realities.
Mula Brahman
Zillions and zillions of years of Earth time ago, God was yet to come into exist
ence. In the vast infinite, unimaginable space, there were just various energies
. These energies were colliding with each other and moving around. Among the inf
inite colours of energies that existed, the prominent colours were violet, golde
n and white.
At one instance, somehow some of the energies coagulated and their strength bega
n to increase. More and more energies collected together resulting in a lot of i
nteractions. After millions of years of this continuous activity, the whole ener
gy field finally balanced. This strong and intense energy field with its own Int
elligence was the first of its kind to come into existence.
This Energy field is the Source of all that is. It is called as Mula Brahman, th
e Primordial God.
This Supreme Intelligence is the Ultimate, the most intelligent, potent and the
source God. This source is much much more than the Light that manifested out. Al
l Creation came out of this source.

This immense field of energy, which contains all the infinite energies, has thre
e primary colours. The outermost layer is Violet, the middle layer is Golden and
the innermost core is White.
The Rishis have discovered that more than three-fourths of Mula Brahman is made
up of Om particles. These are very special particles that radiate the vibrations o
f Om . (More about Om has been elabotared in our next article
The Sacred Mantra Om)
From this source, millions and millions of vast energy fields emerged and arrang
ed themselves in various hierarchical formations, depending on the potential the
y had. These individual energy fields, which were huge Universes, did not have a
ny particular characteristics. Though filled with unlimited potential, their cha
racteristics were still Unmanifested . These are the Unmanifested Universes or the
Avyaktha Brahmans.
In the Hierarchical formation that leads to this part of Creation where we curre
ntly exist, there are 108 Unmanifest Universes that came out of Mula Brahman.
How did Creation Begin?
The Unmanifested Universes which emerged from Mula Brahman are independent from
Him. They have their own intelligence, and since these energy fields are yet to
manifest, they change their shape and characteristics as and when they want to.
They act as independent Intelligences and can manifest in any possible way.
The Unmanifest or Avyaktha Brahman wanted to express itself, at least partly, if
not totally. From here, manifestation happened.
From the Unmanifest, billions and billions of particles manifested. Out of the i
nfinite possible characteristics of the Unmanifest, they came out with a particu
lar set of characteristics. These particles are what we call as Souls.
The Souls also carried a lot energies and Light. When zillions of them manifeste
d, the energies and Light from them also combined together to form one field, an
ocean of One Light. This Infinite ocean of Light is ParaBrahma, the Supreme God
.
God and the Souls manifested together instantaneously in

no-time .

This Ocean of Light (God) wanted to express itself more and hence manifested fur
ther as Creation. The Souls had the choice of experiencing this creation or stay
ing back in the Ocean of Light. Those Souls that chose to descend took birth into
creation, and after experiencing, they returned and merged back into the Ocean o
f Light to attain liberation or Mukthi.
An interesting point is that, these souls continue to exist with their individua
l identity even after Mukthi, even after merging back into God, the Ocean of Lig
ht. Since they manifested directly from the Unmanifest, they lose their identity
only when they return and merge back into the Unmanifest.
Ocean of Light

ParaBrahma

ParaBrahma is the Supreme God as we had understood till recently, until the high
er realities about the greater Mula Brahman and the Unmanifested Gods were perce
ived by the Rishis.
In Sanskrit, ParaBrahma is also called as Sat-Chit-Ananda. This means God is the
eternal Truth (Sat) and He is made up to two different matters
Chit and Ananda.
When we experience the sublime qualities like Bliss, Joy and Expansion, we re expe

riencing Ananda, which is the atmosphere of ParaBrahma Loka. We, the souls, also
carry this matter in our spiritual sheaths, or the Anandamaya Koshas which surr
ounds us.
Chit is a very important matter. It is not consciousness, as it was understood u
ntil now. Consciousness is a very subtle matter from the higher Light, Mula Brah
man. Chit helps to filter and bring down consciousness to the realm of ParaBrahm
a.
Universe of ParaBrahma
This Ocean of Light, ParaBrahma is timeless. If we just enter it and come back,
millions of years would ve passed on our Earth by that time. But there are advance
d gadgets and astral space-crafts, with the help of which the Rishis can go into
this Universe of Light, explore and return quickly.
These are some of the new revealations about ParaBrahma Loka:
ParaBrahma Loka was one of the many that manifested out along with many other Un
iverses. This Universe is the mother of all the manifested Universes. ParaBrahma
Loka has expressed its potential to the maximum and has manifested and diversif
ied the most.
ParaBrahma is one of the closest to Mula Brahman and channels a lot of the Mula
Brahman s intent into its Creation.
This Universe is spherical in shape and has many layers, each with a multitude o
f unique characteristics. The Rishis are studying these layers. They say that th
ere are an infinite number of layers within ParaBrahma Loka but they re so orderly
arranged that it is easy to understand.
The first layer on the outer realms is made up of Lights of multiple colours. An
d in this layer, one can hear the sound of space, which is very soft and uniform
.
The next layer has a lot of objects. Each object is of a different shape and siz
e ranging from total formless to perfect geometric shapes. Yet all of them have
a sense of perfection in them. And all these objects radiate a lot of Light and
Love.
In the further layer, the Rishis observed billions and billions of galaxies and
stars. Each galaxy or star has a unique shape and colour. These shapes or colour
s weren t repeated in any of the zillions of stars or galaxies!
As we progress more into the Light Age, more information will be released to us
by the Rishis.
The Rishis are still understanding a lot about ParaBrahma loka. A great Rishi wh
o works under Vasishtha Maharshi went inside ParaBrahma Loka more than 4 MahaYug
as (about 2,00,000 years) ago. He is still within ParaBrahma, giving information
and details from there since then. Rishis know a lot about ParaBrahma through h
im. They say that he has explored about half of the layers of ParaBrahma and is
continuing his research.
Consciousness
The Ocean of Light, ParaBrahma
ed his own Light but there was
rayed to the Unmanifest and to
there was a substance that had

manifested further into Creation. For this, He us

very little diversity in this Creation. He then p
the Higher Light, Mula Brahman. He observed that
manifested from this Higher Light which could bri

ng about this diversity in His creation.

He tried to bring it down but it was too potent and strong to be manifested.
Using His matter of Chit , he filtered this substance into something that could be
manifested and brought it down in another dimension. This new substance is what
we know as Consciousness.
Consciousness is an immense ocean of particles, manifested from God and is the b
uilding block of the entire Creation.
Unique Characterisitics of Consciousness
Parabrahma with the help of Consciousness first manifested two huge fields of en
ergy Purusha and Prakruti. From these, the entire Creation as we know it, manife
sted further in all diversity
Divine cosmoses, Material cosmoses, Galaxies, Star
s and Earths, and all life on these Earths.
The diversity in creation exists because of Consciousness. And Consciousness its
elf carries a lot of energies. These energies can be used for a positive or a ne
gative purpose.
Since Consciousness is the building block of all creation, everything around us
is a manifestation of Consciousness. And Consciousness itself is made up of part
icles of God. Hence Consciousness connects the entire manifestation to God. We c
an link to any part of this manifestation and get connected to the Source, to Go
d directly.
Maya is an integral part of Consciousness. This is the reason why we re able to se
e and experience the diversity in Creation. Without Maya, everything around us w
ould appear as Light a bird, tree and the sky would be indistinguishable from on
e another. Maya is one of the main factors through which Consciousness brings di
versity in manifestation.
Living and non-living things in Creation
In God s creation, everything is made up of Consciousness. The immense Universes,
Galaxies, Stars, Earths, the living and inanimate things, all the way down to a
microscopic bacteria or even the quarks inside an atom is a form of consciousnes
s.
Although everything is built of the same material, some manifestations like the
animals, plants etc. have life whereas other objects like a house, or a computer
or furniture is inanimate. The reason for this diversity is that, for any form
of Consciousness to have Life , two components are required. The Life-force energy
which pulsates into the form. And the Soul which inhabits this form.
Soul
Soul is a radiant particle of Light, which manifested from the Unmanifest along
with zillions of other particles, and is part of the Ocean of Light (God). The S
oul was experiencing God all the time
Bliss, Expansion, Love etc. After God mani
fested His Creation, some of the adventurous Souls wanted to have a different ex
perience that they did not have in the ocean of Light
like a bird, a tree etc.
We are these Souls which have descended into God s creation in order to experience
Life!
On their descent, these radiant Light particles took on various sheaths like Spi
ritual sheath, Intellect and Mind, & inhabited a Physical body in order to exper

ience Creation. When they returned to the Ocean of Light, they shared their expe
riences with the other Souls. Then more Souls began to take birth. This cycle of
old Souls going back and new Souls taking birth still continues.
The beginning
The Reality of Creation is immense and stretches far far beyond where our imagin
ation can take us. To have a comparison, our Earth along with the Sun and the So
lar system is like a tiny particle, swirling on the outskirts of the huge Milky
way Galaxy. This Galaxy is one among billions and billions of enormous Galaxies
that belong to the Material cosmos. And the Material cosmos is itself like a par
ticle of sand on the shores of a infinite ocean, which is the ParaBrahma Loka.
But the ParaBrahma Loka is one of the many manifestations, which is by itself li
ke a tiny particle when compared to the unending, limitless Energy field, the Mu
la Brahman. What exists beyond Mula Brahman, or what was there before He manifes
ted this is still being understood by the Rishis!
When we try to grasp the enormity of God s creation, our thoughts and emotions mag
nify exponentially. This expansion creates the conditions within us to understan
d the deep mysteries of Creation, of Life, and of Ourselves. It helps us connect
to the Source directly. The intellectual understanding comes first; it is follo
wed by the direct experience of these realities.
This understanding and experience liberates us from everything that binds and ho
lds us down. Let this knowledge from the Great Rishis inspire us to find ways to
encounter these truths directly and know more about & add to this knowledge wit
h our direct experience.
