On God and Creation: Principles of Causation and Singularity

As recorded from the lecture of Archbishop Otto the Tarcharman given to J.C. Sarkozy, Duke of Helena.

 

PALAIS DE NOVELLEN, HELENA, OREN

4 S.S. 1742

 

    “FROM WHERE DOES EXISTENCE FIRST DERIVE? Is existence created, born like the babe if you will, or has existence always been extant since time primordial?  Does existence come into existence or does existence purely exist? Now, simply put, I know you are a boy of trained mind, and you know of God and that He created All. You will tell me, ‘God created the Elements, as well as the Universe and Life. Why must we go into so much detail over this?’ You will quote the Canon Scrolls, spew its ancient learning into muddle quips which ignores all planes of knowledge which their parables and idioms reveal. Like the drunken minstral who tries to sing the sacred hymns in slurred song, you attempt to speak the WORDS OF WISDOM yet proclaim merely the CANTICLES OF IGNORANCE.

 

    God uses the Canon of His Will to preach what He deems, however because of his dual infinity and singularity (the Mystery of Oneness, which we will discuss later), His Will is beyond that of words, He speaks in his own language of purity beyond that of Common, Auvergnian, or indeed even Flexio. For the tongue of the Supreme is the LANGUAGE OF REASON, and through His creation on the CANVAS OF THE WORLD does He speak it. From Him is Reason born: method in which the Elements interact and action or inaction is made. The naturalists proclaim this to be LOGIC, or the natural laws, and indeed the verily opponents of spiritualists call it THE CREED OF LIFE.

 

    In order to read the Creed of the Canon, one must first gander their eyes into this Creed of Life. But which stanza of this ‘creed’ contains where existence itself derived? Can logic prove that which the Canon states so truthfully and plainly, as a light reveals that which is concealed by darkness, and see that Creation comes from a Creator? See, for God does not merely tell, HE SHOWS THE TRUTH in what He has wrought, and all happens according to His Will. 

 

Where does He show the answer, you ask? Look at first yourself Joseph, and see from whence you came. Do you have a maker? Yes, your mother, who gave diligent birth and love for your life, for she is the reason  in which you exist. You yourself did not merely exist but rather you came into existence, composed of the elements in the specific formula which creates man in its God-given form. And in the future, from when you have children with your wife, did such children exist from time memorium or were they made into existence through birth?

 

    All things have reason to their creation, and henceforth ALL CREATIONS HAVE A CREATOR. But what of things not made by mortal hands: the rising tides, the falling of rain, and what have you? Let us take the example of a ball on a flat surface, which does not roll for it lacks any push. However, the wind blows through quite fiercely, and blows the ball every which way? What is the creator of motion? Why, it is the wind! The wind is the creator of motion in the ball, the ‘cause’ to the ‘effect’ of the ball’s motion. We can use this reasoning for other examples: rain is the ‘effect’ by the ‘cause’ of clouds, death is the ‘effect’ by the ‘cause’ of murder, and so forth.

 

    Now what of things beyond that which we can explain? Many people claim there is a field of luck- a spectrum of uncertainty in which nothing can come to make something. But this, I testify is false, for even if the originator may be mysterious and unknown, the reaction is always the response of action, whether by physical or spiritual hands. The lack of knowledge of its creation does not presume that the created itself lacks no origin- such is a simple mistake for men to make. 

 

The throwing of dice is one great emblem which those testifying luck will use, as how the die lands is seemingly unknown to anyone (even the Supreme Being). Yet when we take many dice and throw them many times, as I have found, the number of rolls of which each side gets comes to around the same. The number which the die comes to is determined, therefore, by the shape and weight of the die, how one throws it, and a myriad of other factors. This leads to another short teachings of the Created: each ‘effect’ can have multiple causes. A father and mother, in technicality, is what it takes to make a child, for example, or how a storm both requires the clouds and wind in order to begin.

 

    We can therefore create a PRINCIPLE OF CAUSATION, which states such: TO EVERY CREATED ITS CREATOR AND EVERY CREATOR ITS CREATED, or EVERY CAUSE ITS EFFECT AND EVERY EFFECT ITS CAUSE.

 

But what is the FIRST CAUSE, which made existence or the FIRST EFFECT?  What is the First Creator to the First Created? As a chair must have a carpenter, or a wine must have a vinter- existence must have a creator. And that creator is one of not merely physical bonds but the endless: For He Is God, the Supreme Being. There are words from an old Rudran Sage, an elder known as Ramawana Yagyri, from where I heard from his lips, which tell of what I speak:

 

‘To first see, one must SEE THAT WHICH MAKES SIGHT.

To first feel, one must SENSE THAT WHICH MAKES SENSE.

To first understand, one must UNDERSTAND THAT WHICH MAKES UNDERSTANDING.

From all we see comes reason, and in all we act comes in reason,

And therefore REASON MUST COME FROM WHICH MAKES REASON.’

 

Reason is born from the bosom of the Supreme Being; God Himself speaks in the tongue of Logic, to which our actions also speak. Once we understand this Logic in bare truth, the words of the Canon reveal their secret meanings, unlocking from it the chained learning obscured by the ignorant. Take this quotation from the Canon, for example, and apply what God has shown to what God has told,

 

‘And by His Word, the Planes were rendered, and His throne was in the Seventh Sky. And that which was farthest from the Lord became the Void, and that which was nearest became the Skies, and betwixt them was the World. And GOD saw that it was good.’

-Provenance III

 

    Now, upon first read, it is clear that God created the Skies and the Void, and in between henceforth was the Mortal Plane. But what else does this teach us? Remember back upon the Principle of Extremes and the relation of the elements; to each part is a part of polarity, from Fire/Water, Earth/Air, and Empyrian/Voidal. In God’s created plane, it reflects this principle: the Sky is one extreme and the Void is the other, while the mortal plane is the degrees of existence in between transmutation takes root. This small passage not only tells of the creation of the planes but the creation of the elements itself, only ascertained through our previous understandings of the world around us.

 

I hear you already crying out before me, my young pupil, ‘For if then the Supreme Being is the cause (or the creator) of existence (or the created), what then is the cause of the Supreme Being? What bore that which could create such things as ourselves and the world around us? In this, we must define what God is. Is He, like existence, made up of smaller elements or parts, or some form divisible?

 

In paradoxical relationship, the First Cause has no cause in of itself, or atleast in the minds of mortals, no discernible cause which creates the preliminary movement. The Supreme Being has no cause for He is, by definition, EVERYTHING, and is that which cannot be created for creation itself is made in Him. The best idiom for representation can be boiled down as follows: if Existence is that which is Made, God is the mold in which it is made. He is both the oven and baker simultaneously, the carpenter and the wood; HE IS THAT WHICH MAKES AND IS MADE IN. All derives from Him, and so He is Everything. He is the singular point which weaves all of existence together, binding it in one. He made up of no divisible parts but is the divisible elements of the world combined to a status of perfection. The Supreme Being is that which all existence has its origins, the sum of all things into something both infinite yet unified.

 

This we call the PRINCIPLE OF SINGULARITY, where EVERYTHING COMES FROM ONE AND ONE PROCURS EVERYTHING.

 

In the Canon, we can find this principle exposed in God’s titles: ‘the Most Merciful, Singular, and Omnipotent’, being both one yet all-powerful master of everything. As we did previously, let us examine a point in the Canon in which tells and shows this principle,

 

‘In the beginning, the glory of GOD was singular and whole, and there was naught but Him, and thus there could be no pain or iniquity.’

-Provenance II

 

    While it explicitly states the oneness and wholeness of the Supreme Being, it tells also what there was not: nothing, no iniquity or ‘degrees’ of relations. There can be no inequality for all was in Him, and in Him all was equal. The principle of extremes could not take effect for there was nothing else in relationship or in peerhood with Him, and so He was One.

 

    Now- what have we learned this day? Through Logic, or the Creed of Life, we were able to discern two principles, the Principle of Causation (in which all causes have effects and all effects have causes) and the Principle of Singularity (in which all existence derives from the singular point that is the Supreme Being). Next time’s lecture, I do promise, we shall finally touch on the human soul and creation itself, especially in regards to what having a soul entails. Before we meet next, think this over: Does the Principle of Causation prove or refute ‘free-will’? Or do all our actions follow the principle to a point and all is ‘predetermined’?

 

    As before, I leave you with a short riddle,

   

‘I talk, but I do not speak my mind

I hear words, but I do not listen to thoughts

When I wake, all see me

When I sleep, all hear me

Many heads are on my shoulders

Many hands are at my feet

The strongest steel cannot break my visage

But the softest whisper can destroy me

The quietest whimper can be heard.

 

What am I?’”
