The Seven Main Aspects of GOD - The Nuts & Bolts of the Bible Message Concept 2

The first basic concept begins the process of teaching us about ourselves by revealing the CEM concept. This concept is a unifying concept, though, and most unifying concepts contain other concepts within themselves. Therefore, when we understand the oneness of an individual, we find that each living being has several main aspects that define the individual in greater detail, which are spread over the three levels within the reality of the individual..

Second Basic Concept

As Genesis 1 revealed the CEM order, it used allegorical language to describe three main aspects of an individual. Each of these aspects are called days (*see below), and the story continues to reveal seven days and the seven main aspects of Spirit, Principle, Intellect, Soul, Life, Truth, and Love. The seven days then become the creative process within the Spiritual Reality (see Seven Days of Creation)--not the Physical Reality. This Creative Process also becomes the Seven Steps of Spiritual Growth. This allegorical story ends with Genesis 2:4, and a new allegorical story begins.

*(Days are used for a particular reason. Just as physical days go from darkness to light, spiritual understanding goes from ignorance to understanding. Each of the Seven Main Aspects go through this enlightening process--i.e. Spirit goes from no new purpose to a given new purpose. The comparison should be obvious.)

The second basic concept is the primary focus of the rest of the Bible because it reveals the steps all individuals must follow to grow spiritually. No change occurs, whether good or bad, within our heart unless these steps are followed. Our heart expresses what we love, and the creative process produces the love in our heart for purposes that satisfy that love. Without this satisfaction--the seventh day--no real change occurs. It is important to realize that love's first level desire is for a purpose, not toward an individual or object. We can say a mother love's her child; but the main component of that fact is that she primarily envisions a purpose for her child that increases the value of her child in a higher relationship. To have this view, she must first see the higher relationship as having high value--which gives even that high relationship a purpose. Is there any way to think of Love that does not relate to a purpose? I think not because for any relationship to have value it must also have a purpose, and love attaches great value to what is loved. Viewing Love according to purpose helps us to understand the concept much more accurately, and this view helps us to better understand how we can go wrong and who our true enemy is.

Love is essentially a unification of living, spiritual qualities or aspects that make the envisioned purpose capable of being manifested. In the process of growing in Love, the qualities of each living individual or non-living component in the manifested purpose becomes a part of the living individuals manifesting the purpose. A simple example is someone who loves music. Such an individual must desire a future purpose that requires an understanding of music at a certain level. This produces a desire in the individual, which begins the Seven Steps of Spiritual Growth Process--the spiritual creative process. The eventual level of the understanding of music the individual desires will most likely require small steps along the way--our daily bread. Perhaps the first step is to find an acceptable teacher to teach the basics of music or even a self-teaching book on the subject. Therefore, the eventual high purpose is reduced to much smaller purposes; and as each of these purposes is accomplished, the heart of the individual begins taking on the living qualities that make the manifestation of the higher purpose a reality. In the Bible this process is represented by the number 50, which is 7 x 7 + 1 = 50. The 7 x 7 part of the number represents the small purposes that must be accomplished before the higher purpose is possible. Once all the smaller purposes are accomplished, the higher purpose can be manifested as represented by the number 1, the eighth or fiftieth day. Since the Seventh Day is represented as a day of rest, we can only begin our "new" work on the eighth day.

Eventually, the individual will have the understanding of the level of music desired and all the other understandings that allow the manifestation of the envisioned higher purpose. Along the way, the individual, would seek each smaller purpose, learn the laws of the manifestation of that purpose according to who the individual is at the moment. At this point certain beliefs will be forming as to the importance of each smaller purpose and how the purpose can best be obtained. These beliefs will be based on the truth the individual knows at each moment of time; and the truth known will be based on previous living experiences that resulted in the love in the individual's heart, which is based on how the individual viewed those experiences when they occurred.

The most important concept to realize from the above description is to realize that the qualities of music are given life in the individual, and the resulting music expressed and manifested also has qualities of the individual within it that is not an original aspect of music. Essentially, the music manifested is a "marriage" of both the "new" individual and the laws or aspects of the music that never change.

The First Great Commandment states that we must love GOD with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Recognizing the essential concepts explained above, we should recognize that the only way to love GOD is to take on the qualities of GOD that we are capable of expressing and manifesting--Love them. As we do this we are contributing to the creative process necessary to fulfill GOD's ultimate Purpose--Christ the Omega.

But GOD, through Genesis 1, has not finished teaching us the basics of who and what we are. This is done in Genesis 2 and 3 through the Garden of Eden Story.
