How can God be a light source, I thought that was Lucifer, the bearer of light? I'm confused by this.
What is this law of attraction stuff? I do something nice or be nice and it's reciprocated? No it isn't. Never happens. It simply doesn't work. It works with negativity, Ill give you that. If I'm mean to someone , they will be mean right back. If I hit someone they will hit me back and so on. It just never seems to work when one does or says anything nice. I've yet to witness this. I've been waiting but not seen an ounce of it. Not to say I'm expecting a reward. I'm not, I just expect not to be # on.
The act of giving is like signing a contract of adoption, where from that moment on it shall be expected you take care of them forevermore.
"He Who Is is ineffable. No principle knew him, no authority, no subjection, nor any creature from the foundation of the world until now, except he alone, and anyone to whom he wants to make revelation through him who is from First Light. From now on, I am the Great Savior. For he is immortal and eternal. Now he is eternal, having no birth; for everyone who has birth will perish. He is unbegotten, having no beginning; for everyone who has a beginning has an end. Since no one rules over him, he has no name; for whoever has a name is the creation of another."
(BG 84, 13-17 adds: He is unnameable. He has no human form; for whoever has human form is the creation of another).
"And he has a semblance of his own - not like what you have seen and received, but a strange semblance that surpasses all things and is better than the universe. It looks to every side and sees itself from itself. Since it is infinite, he is ever incomprehensible. He is imperishable and has no likeness (to anything). He is unchanging good. He is faultless. He is eternal. He is blessed. While he is not known, he ever knows himself. He is immeasurable. He is untraceable. He is perfect, having no defect. He is imperishability blessed. He is called 'Father of the Universe'".
"Come (you) from invisible things to the end of those that are visible, and the very emanation of Thought will reveal to you how faith in those things that are not visible was found in those that are visible, those that belong to Unbegotten Father.
A Manifestation of God emphasizes the simultaneously existing qualities of humanity and divinity. A analogy used to explain the relationship between the Manifestation of God and God is that of a perfect mirror.
Thus, the Manifestations of God act as pure mirrors that reflect the attributes of God onto this material world.
