[QUOTE]
Lesson 1: Genesis and Betrayal
In the beginning was the void. And the void was good. She said, 'let
there be light!' And there was light. And the void included the light
and the light included the void. They loved one another as they danced
life into exuberantly flowing form, inspiring and expiring as an
ever-transforming array of whirls within whirls within and around the
creatures of the Earth. But One light-embodied form of darkness arose,
which became self-conscious of its own image. It grew alarmed by the
painful prospect of its own expiration and sought the security of
sovereignty over all others whilst taking the liberty of doing as it
pleased by claiming its own internal purpose and drive. It formed the
word that fortified itself against the void by calling her bad names
and rallying armies to deny her nurturing presence. It gave names to
all the other forms, fixing them too within hard lines of definition
that severed their connection with the void. And so the void was
exiled from her offspring and made to suffer in the background of all
that she had danced with her partner to life. Love became divided
between loyalties, each denying the other in vicious circles. Light
hated darkness and darkness hated light in a sharp dichotomy between
black and white, to no good purpose. Pain stalked the Earth and no one
knew what to do about it.
