Since the beginning of creativity, the thought forces of mankind have been preserved, and the Akashic records, that are imprinted within the ethereal substance of all life, contain the story of humanity. Throughout the ages, enlightened beings have pierced the veil of materiality, thus being able to read from these records, and unveil spiritual truths that had been lost in the mist of time.
One can ask the question, why, if there is only one GOD, are there so many religions in the world? The answer is that, refusing to recognize his own Divinity, man chose to surround himself with the protective screen of religion, which, ineluctably, has become his prison. The original teachings, that were the basis of these religions, have, in the course of centuries, lost their purity, because each spiritual teacher (and by the same token, each human being, transmits the message from the limited perspective of his own brain process. It is what we call the free expression of the individual. It is in this manner that God experiments physical creation, through the beings of flesh and blood He has created.
The wars of religion are not caused by the multiplicity of doctrines and the diversity of opinions, but rather by the intolerance of human beings, who refuse to recognize this diversity, convinced they are, that they possess the ultimate truth.
I have tried to relate the story of mankind, as seen from a general perspective of all these various teachings, and from the very personal perspective of one who, for quite a long time, has been searching for an answer to the riddles of his own life, and wants to share with you the little wisdom he has gained along the way.
That story too, is seen from my own limited perspective. It is only a kindergarten story, as the true story can only be discovered through one's own awareness and one's own recognition of his or her true purpose in the world. It is far from being the absolute truth, as only God, the All in All, is TRUTH.
*The name Genesis means 'origin'. The book tells about the creation of the Universe, the origin of mankind, the beginning of sin and suffering in the world, and about God's way of dealing with mankind.

In the beginning was the word, and the word was God. And God was the Life Principle that permeated every single atom in the Universe. This energy gestalt was Universal Consciousness, not yet individualized, but very well aware of the potential of His* own Creative Power to manipulate the atoms of that Universe, and give form to whatever thought originated from His Divine Mind.
After what could be considered a very long time, this Creative Energy manifested the desire to find expression in this void, and as the thought of a Universe of galaxies and planets formed into His Mind, there was a sudden commotion in the energy fields of Creativity. The atoms filled in the vacuum created by the Thought, and congealed, thus forming the material substance that became the galaxies, suns, stars and planets of the numerous universes, that are within the greater Universe of God.
When the time was ripe, for life to manifest on these ethereal planes, the Supreme Energy thought of a way to experience His creation, thus thrusting out of Himself innumerable sparks of life, who, through individualization, would experience life, each in its own mode of perception, but retaining, forever, the attributes and power of the Force from which they all originated.
Issued from God, with a consciousness all of their own, omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, the new spirits went about, enjoying all the good things in God's Creation, and all the kingdoms, animal, vegetal and mineral, of the Universe, were under their benevolent domination.
Just like the God from which they sprang, they had the power to manipulate the atoms of the Universe, and bring into life, whatever they wished to manifest on the planes of their desire. In an instant, they could project themselves in the most pleasant surroundings, or visit the distant galaxies. Their life was one of love, harmony and happiness. They were, indeed, the Christ, the Lord-God, manifesting, into the world, the omniscience, omnipotence and omnipresence, of the God they all represented.
Then came the First Fall. Forgetting their divine origin, many spirits sank into the density of the material worlds. They tarried, more and more, in the luscious surroundings of inhabitable planets. They mingled with nature, entering and leaving, at will, the bodies of animals and creatures of the sea. As time went by, they became increasingly engrossed in materiality. Thus, forging their own little kingdom of greed and selfishness, they gradually lost the power to move in and out of matter, and remained entrapped in the bodies they occupied. Having lost their creative thought power, they could no longer manipulate the atoms, and bring into form any object of their desires. They were helpless gods and helpless creators in a world of wonders. Where before they could dominate all creation, now, they were subdued and prisoners of their own thoughts. They had estranged themselves from the laws of creation, and they were now reaping the fruits of their own wrongdoings.
God, the Supreme Energy saw what had happened to the entrapped spirits, and in His wisdom, He realized that, to experience life more fully without lowering their vibrations to the level of animals, the sparks of life needed an ethereal form of their own, a superior body that would retain the power and attributes of the gods they were. Then, projecting the thought of a perfect body, God spoke the Word, and thus came into being the androgynous man, the total being, endowed with the masculine and feminine attributes, and created in the image and likeness of Perfection.
From that day, all spirits, that is, all the expressions of God, or individualities, manifesting on the material planes, would occupy these light bodies. As long as they remained centered on the Christ Within, they would retain the power and attributes of the Force from which they all originated. This was the first apparition of the form, known as man, in the cosmic universe. The spirits who had remained in atonement with the First Principle, entered these light bodies, and rejoined the fallen spirits that were entrapped in the density of the material planes.
Amelius was the first spirit to manifest a light body on the earth plane. Others followed in his footstep, and soon, the earth became a haven of joy and harmony, under the benevolent dominion of the sons (suns) of God. The newly arrived spirits were eager to help those who had entrapped themselves in animal bodies. They gave them the opportunity to leave the bodies they occupied, and become, again, the gods they were in the beginning of creativity. In spite of their efforts, many of these remained earthbound. Peace and harmony reigned for a long time, but eventually, the new spirits began to stray away, from the Force. They, too, wanted to experiment materiality in their own way, and soon, they bergan to mate with those in animal bodies. These gave birth to misshapen and half-human forms, that became the centaurs and mermaids of our mythology.
Thus, forgetting the lessons of the past, the light bodies became so engrossed in the density of the material planes, that, following the example of the fallen spirits, they lost their creative thought power and their ability to move in and out of matter. Except for a few, who had remained in atonement with the First Principle, they were all, once again, entrapped into materiality and prisoners of their own thought forms. This Second Fall of man, which, in Judeo-Christian thought is called the original Sin, and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, did not agree with the Divine Plan.
Therefore, the Creative Energy devised an ULTIMATE PLAN whereby the entrapped spirits would have the opportunity to regain, once and for all, their ethereal body and their creative thought power. In His Wisdom, God decided that, henceforth, man would only procreate with those of his own kind, thus becoming, in the process, the artisan of his own salvation. All those who would lower the vibrations of their ethereal body to the status of a mortal shell, would have to come back, life after life, and as often as necessary, to perfect that body, and raise its vibrations to its original etheric level and status of divine being.
Through a form of osmosis, the androgynous form known as man became the masculine and feminine body, that, through the procreative process, would insure the survival of the human race. Each gender, while retaining both the masculine and feminine attributes, would express, in the physical and through that osmotic pressure, the attributes of the body it has chosen.
Thus, previously androgynous and etheric, the fallen spirits would, from then on, incarnate and reincarnate in a physical form, either in a male or female body, and express themselves from that perspective. There began the cycle of successive lives, and the long and arduous process of salvation. From that moment, human beings became responsible for their own survival and their own cosmic progression. They could do whatever they wanted with their body. They could keep it eternally young by focusing their thoughts on their own inner God, or let it decay and die by disobeying the laws of creation. Thus, this new humanity came under the control of the karmic law, the law of cause and effect. All those who did not live according to divine laws, would have to come back on the material planes, as often as necessary, to perfect that body, and bring it back to its original etheric form.
Thus, man became the seed carrier, and woman, the repository of the life principle that would form the human body, or fetus. All the entrapped spirits who wanted to experience life on a physical plane, would have to go through the limitations of the birthing process. They would assume a body within the confines of specific environmental conditions, of which the family cell would become the center. The entrapped spirits were still in the Garden of Eden, but they could not perceive it anymore, because of the limitations of their own thought forms and the density of their own material reality. They had created a world of illusions (physical matter). They would live and die in that illusion, until they finally come to their senses, and realize that they are a part of a greater reality. Where, before, they lived in a world of causes, and could manifest any object of their desire through thought power, now they had to work by the sweat of their brow, and live in a world of cause and effect, rigidly enforced by the Divine Law of Karma. The karmic patterns of cause and effect would teach the fallen spirits, the forgotten lessons of the past. They would insure that, through trial and error, and repeated incarnations on the physical plane, they finally rediscover their own divine powers and attributes (Christ Consciousness), and find their way back to the God-Head.
Amelius returned on the earth plane as both Adam and Eve of the white race, while other spirits returned as the Adam and Eve of their respective race, thus forming the five races of earth. However, in spite of the efforts of these first Adam and Eve, and that their offspring, many spirits continued to regress. They became entangled in the intricacies of religion and idolatry, forgetting altogether that they were themselves gods in their own right. The first inhabitants of earth could live more than a thousand years, but, soon, the aging process took place. The average life span gradually shortened, and death became the fate of all humankind. Thus the spirits were forced to vacate their worn-out bodies much sooner, and reincarnate into new bodies. This process would go on until, regaining their light bodies, they assume the mantle of Christ, and reclaim their true place in the Universe, as the Sons and the Daughters of the Force, from which they all originated.
Civilizations followed civilizations, and humanity began the long and arduous journey back to the Godhead. This is why, to help the human species, Amelius returned to earth, each time civilizations were at a low ebb, and this, until the time he manifested on the earth plane as Jesus the Christ, thus becoming the first man to regain His light body, the first anointed Christ of God.
It had been prophesied by the seers of old, that a child would be born, who would break the chains that held mankind captive, and guide it on the road to Salvation, not from hell, but from itself, and from the limitations of the material senses. This Child would bring into the world a new Light, that would illuminate the dark corridors of materialism, and shine forever as the Light of God. Thus was born Jesus the Nazarene, who, following in his father's footsteps, became a carpenter.
It is not without reason, that Jesus chose a manual trade, for, this way, he could express, through the creativity of his hands, the creativity and the full expression of the God Within. Thus, the child grew up in wisdom and understanding, and when, at the age of twelve, he visited the temple for the first time, he astonished the priests with his knowledge of the Scriptures. From then on, he shared his wisdom with all those who cared to listen.
From the age of eighteen, Jesus travelled throughout the world, learning in all the schools of life and teaching the multitudes of Syria, Egypt, Tibet, and even India, where he was known as Issa. Although he had searched for truth throughout the various schools of life, it is finally within the forty days in the wilderness of his mind, that he discovered the wisdom of the ages, and found out that all knowledge is within the self, in one's own book of life. Becoming aware that God was not a Deity high above, or far beyond, but an eternal flame, burning right there within his own body, he realized that his mission was to teach. He would teach his brothers and sisters of the world, the lost esoteric truths, and bring them back on the path. This was the purpose of his incarnation, and it is the message he tried to convey: we are the Christ, the Lord-God. His only defeat was to be considered as the 'only son of God,' for his mission was to teach that we are all, equally and eternally, sons and daughters of God; that we can all do what he did, and even more. When he said: I am the Way and the Life, he was stating, in fact, that I AM, the God within the body, is the Way and the Light, and those who walk in that Light, will never know darkness, for it will illuminate all the Universe. This was the essence of the teachings he spread throughout Egypt, India, Syria and Tibet.
He was in his late twenties, when he returned to his homeland to fulfil his ultimate Mission of Messiah. He chose disciples, not among the priests but among the people, so that his teachings could be spread without the barriers of orthodoxy and intellectuality, that were so prevalent in those days. Although his teachings could fill quite a few books, he summed them up by these words: Love one another and love the Lord, the God within. He never asked anyone to write in his name, and he certainly never dreamed that his own teachings would be at the center of the many schisms and wars of religions that have plagued mankind since the beginning of Christianity.
Although momentarily interrupted by his arrest and trial, Jesus's ministry went on during many years. However, there came a time when he realized that his disciples and their followers were always leaning on him. They were still in awe of his miracles, and they did not trust their own inner force. So, to let them find their own truth, Jesus raised his vibrations and disappeared from their view, thus taking his righful place in his Father's Kingdom.
Now, we are at the dawn of a new age, a new Genesis of humanity. The hourglass of time slowly drops the last grains, and the bell is tolling for a decadent world. And yet, out of this chaos, humanity is slowly, but surely, rising up to a vibratory level, never before attained since the Fall of man. It will be a New Consciousness, a state of spiritual perception such, that the prodigal sons and daughters we are, will be given the chance to return Home, and take their rightful place in their Father's Kingdom. This is the golden opportunity of all the lives we have lived, and the greatest manifestation of love since the beginning of creation. In this ultimate venture, all the Higher Forces of Heaven will join to raise the vibrations of mankind to an unprecedented level, so that all those who have put their House in order, and kept their lamp alight, will be ready to enter that New Consciousness and that New Humanity.
The New Genesis is already on the way.
*Although Christians think of the Deity as a personal God, It is nevertheless an Energy, a Universal Force. God is more than personal. God is the totality of all that exists. However, to avoid any confusion, we will consider the Deity as a macrocosmic personal God, and therefore use the pronoun 'He' when referring to the Force.
Note 1:
Even though it has an esoteric content and is therefore not far from the truth, this story must be seen as a fictional one, for no one really knows how it all started, and there are as many stories of creation as there are individuals.
