Genesis
“1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was[a] on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters” is very interesting and key.
The heavens always were and will be. To have absolute confidence in this is spiritual maturity. The Bible is a great teaching tool and test people's spiritual understanding. God would not create and environment where evil could occur.
If the earth “was without form, and void” there is nothing to create. Void, emptiness and nothing are untrue nihilistic concept that leads to rapid corruption.
The Sanskrit word for void or emptiness is sunyata but this is a very primitive understanding of sunyata. To understand a Sanskrit word one should break the word into syllables and rebuild the word.
Sunyata can be broken down in two ways: “sun ya ta” sun (light of the sun); ya, Universe and the Dharmadhatu (sphere (realm) of truth); ta, all the enlightened or “su nya ta” su command perfection in both the Universe and the Dharmadhatu; nya, ones perception of Universe and the Dharmadhatu is probably not true; ta, the perception of all the enlightened is true.
Also, one should understand basic meditation instructions on how to set the environment for meditation in that one should visualizes oneself in the whole Universe and the Dharmadhatu simultaneously and send ones “light” throughout the Universe. Simultaneously the “universe” is also within one’s body.
With this in mind a good translation for Sunyata is purifying luminosity.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light”
There is always light and especially purifying luminosity to remove the veils of dualistic fixation and perceive God and His Helpers.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.
This begins the analogy that light is good and darkness is evil. This is in all religions.
Einstein visualized traveling on a beam of light throughout the Universe to make his scientific breakthroughs and spoke highly of Buddhism.
I visualized seeing the world through gravity where there is no time in the equations with light being Thermodynamic equilibrium to achieve important insights.
A true understanding of sunyata is extremely important.
In a four dimensional space time topology light is at equilibrium and travels in a straight line but in a three dimensional gravitational space (no time) light beams will eventually collide forming electrons, proton, neutrons and the elements depending on the angle of incidence.
There is only one particle and that is a photon. Electrons, proton, neutrons and the elements are photons in circular and interconnecting patterns. Hydrogen and oxygen form when light meets at right angles.
It is hard to perceive this in a four dimensional space but God is immediately next to “space” everywhere and the Helpers form in layers next to God so that evil can never take final root and goodness will always overcome evil and all beings will eventually return to heaven.
It is hard to perceive but God and His helpers can appear in many forms and “places” simultaneously.
1. Genesis 1:26
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and
over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps
on the earth.”
2. Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He
created him; male and female He created them.
God made man “in Our image” and man must live up to that image but man fails “Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge” yet
Romans 8:28-30
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified implies that pure images can be formed by the messenger. To have no false images before one is to return everyone to heaven,
