God Endlessly Creating

The use of all language is a form of Karma Yoga. The average person too readily assumes that language is simply a convenient way of communicating our physical needs and desires. Very few individual’s realize the Power of their words and the fact that these words well chosen or not, produce an effect on their immediate environment either for good or for less good. Words are very much like the building blocks of our innermost thoughts and inspirations. If we scatter them carelessly in a meaningless form, they can only produce chaos and obstacles upon our path. But when they are deliberately and Willfully used, they can achieve profound results.

In the early beginnings of all the World’s Religions, the Great Teachers and Prophets recognized the Power of the Word, so much so that they attributed the “Birth of Creation” itself as coming out of “The Word.” We are told in every Mythological Creation Story, that the Universe is the external aspect of the “Thought and Word of God.” Thus, from the deliberate and Willfully expressed Word of God, was born every manner of universal shape and form – every conceivable expression of Divine Creative Perfection. We might even say that the All-Knowing Thought was the FIRST CAUSE in the process of formulating Creation.

The next step came about when Thought was translated into an Action. This Action, which we read about in the early Scriptures as “The Word,” is not only Creation Itself – but it, is something more. IT IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF GOD EXPANDING AND CREATING ITSELF THROUGH ENDLESS CREATIVITY. The Ancient Teachers were right when they proclaimed that the greatest Key to Living could be found through the process of action. Action means DOING, CREATING AND BECOMING. The thought of the furniture-maker becomes a chair; the thought of the artist becomes a picture; the thought of the good neighbor becomes an action of neighborliness. Each one of these actions shows us the way to achieve a Greater Action. The more we gain an awareness of our Divine Purpose, the more we are able to realize that we are indeed Co-Creators with God. We are not only One with the Word of God, but we are also One with God Infinitely Becoming Divine Expression.

BEING and DOING are the greatest gifts bestowed upon us by the Creator. The very NATURE OF BEING compels us to act. We could not stand still, even if we wanted to. Once in a while, it appears as if we are moving very slowly. Like a child in a toyshop, we are fascinated by the endless possibilities that meet the eye. But regardless of the maze of possibilities before us, we cannot stand still. Eventually we have to choose one of the games, and by learning to master it, we awaken a New Awareness within our own being. A New Awareness that gives us the courage to take on the greatest game of them all, called “The Mastery of Life.”
