Before anything existed, when nothingness itself had yet to come into being, the Source was. He was not merely a being or entity separate from His creation; the Source was the unity of all that was, is, and will be. Beyond the concept of time, He was neither beginning nor end—the Source was the unbroken circle, and all that exists is but a fragment of His will.
In His mysterious will, the Source created the universe, not as a place separate from Him, but as a reflection, a mirror that displays a glimpse of His unreachable essence. But in order for creation to develop and exist, the Source covered Himself with a "cosmic veil," a void so perfect that it seemed real. Within this veil, the dimensions of space and time stretched, creating an illusory distance between the Creator and the created.
To mortals, the Source seemed to be beyond reach, as something too high to attain. They sense His presence in the faintest shadows, in the little wonders of everyday life, in the inviolable laws of nature, in the mysteries of the heavens and the towering stars. But in a deeper reality, everything is part of the Source – nothing stands alone, all pulsates in His eternal Will.
The angels closest to His presence call the Source "Ehyeh," which means "I Am." To them, the Source is the Light that encompasses all forms of life and existence. But this Light does not only give light; He is also the Darkness, for His infinite greatness envelops and transcends all that can be comprehended. Even the highest beings cannot approach Him completely without disappearing, for to approach Him is to return to the Source, to lose one's personal identity in the inseparable unity.
But the Source is not completely hidden. He gives small signs, "glimmers" in the void, to those who seek. In dreams, in visions, in revelations – He opens up to those who can sense Him, even if only a little. The Source appears as a still, quiet voice in the heart, or as a shadow in the flash of thought. But whatever His form, He always brings an indescribable sense of peace, as if the world and all its suffering were part of a greater, incomprehensible plan.
To humans, the world seems like an intractable puzzle, full of good and evil, happiness and sorrow. They may think it is a separate place, but in truth it is the Source, hiding in countless forms. Through every heartbeat and breath, the Source is there—an eternal energy that flows, transcending the boundaries of matter and spirit.
Ultimately, for the Source, this creation is but a tiny mirror that reveals a portion of His glory, yet at the same time veils it. In silence, He continues to be, seeing, hearing, knowing all. For Him, time is an illusion; He is before all, in an eternity that has no beginning or end.
Those who approach, who dare to lift the veil of this illusion, find themselves immersed in a bewildering mix of light and shadow. Because the deeper they enter into His mystery, the more they realize that the Source is not a final destination to be reached. The Source is the journey itself, the Essence that makes all things possible.
