Creation Allegory
In the beginning God created the heaven and
the earth.
Genesis 1:1
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the
midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. Genesis 1:6
And God made the firmament, and divided the
waters, which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the
firmament: and it was so.
Genesis 1:7
If God of the
Bible and of the Quran exists; if Allah, the Holy One, the Almighty One is real
then His goodness and power continues to define cosmic history and to refine
the cosmic past. The kingdom
of God is already at hand
and has been for two thousand years but we do not recognize it. If we seek it
wisely in faith we will find it, but not where we expect to. It’s not in the
future or in the past, but everywhere and now. Neither
shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom
of God is within you.
(Luke 17:21)
The creation
spoken of in the first chapter of Genesis is a constantly recurring cosmic
sequence. This is why the Kingdom
of God is already at
hand. This is the Creation Allegory,
a symbolic representation of God’s creative power. To understand this allegory,
consider the fact that each of us has come from a state of “nothing” to a
state of “something”? In mathematical terms, we have made an existential
journey from zero to one. Human biology informs us that on an average, a period
of six days follows conception before implantation. In those six
days following our conception, we were alone with God. During those “six days”
of our creation, we experienced a plethora of existence—we became one with
eternity when our cells experienced their first differentiation. When God’s
instructions separated the waters, our cellular walls became a firmament. When
one became two and two became one—God came to know us and to walk with us in
the Garden. In those first days, while we were alone with God, He prepared the
world, and all that was in it for each of us. This is the Creation Allegory; this is the meaning of those “Six Days of
Creation”. After sharing those days with Him, we became exhausted and drained.
Our internal supply of energy depleted we started to die. In complete
subjectivity, as we grew old for the first time we called upon his holy name. I say unto you, That
if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask,
it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew
18:19) Thus, it was, with our mothers’ agreement, that on the sixth day He
saved us. Lifting us up, He planted us in our mother’s garden. There, hidden in
her womb forever, we found Eden—we
found refreshment and life. There we found this world subjectively and became
objectively known to it.
