On the Origins of Worlds
Introduction
Is there a God? What is God? What is the meaning of life?
Humans have asked these and similar questions for thousands of years—and have given numerous, often contradictory answers in response.
The following text presents creation as a process of the development of consciousness: from the awakening of the divine origin, through the emergence of consciousness, to the self-determined return of each individual consciousness to that origin.
Based on fundamental laws, this process of creation is outlined in compact form, along with several of its resulting consequences.
Familiar concepts such as
Although many derivations are deliberately presented in concise form, the material provided should suffice to bridge any remaining gaps through independent reflection. Those seeking deeper understanding or further insight are explicitly encouraged to engage in their own exploration. Apart from the acceptance of its core premise, the presented concept does not require a “you simply have to believe it” approach.
The Laws of Creation
The Laws that govern Creation are:
To illustrate these laws, the following description of the creation process will refer to the most relevant law at the appropriate points.
However, it is important to note: none of these laws exists in isolation. They are interwoven, interact with each other, and cannot be conceived of independently.
What is God
The term
Here,
The indivisible properties (Aspects) of God are:
Truth, Wisdom, Justice, and Movement.
(Aspects are abstract qualities of fundamental simplicity that, in their simplicity, encompass conglomerates of properties of immense scope and are concretized over the course of creation.)
The laws governing the process of creation arise from these aspects:
The Process of Creation
The Process of Creation is the emanation of God, sparked by becoming self-aware.
Creation is divided into three recurring phases:
1. God sleeps, meaning He is unaware of Himself.
2. God awakens and becomes conscious of Himself.
3. God withdraws into Himself and falls asleep once more.
God Sleeps
God is always the sum of the four aspects, and when He sleeps, these aspects are united within Him.
Aspects do not arise; they are not created; they simply are.
In their totality, they constitute the entire being of the sleeping, self-unaware God.
God awakens
God realizes that He consists of four aspects, which, in His still limited consciousness, appear irreconcilable.
God thus fractures into the four aspects: Truth, Wisdom, Justice, and Movement.
These four aspects are embodied by four
Truth divides into Impartiality and Judgment,
Wisdom divides into Beauty, i.e., Form, and Light, i.e., Content,
Justice divides into Order and Balance,
Movement divides into Becoming and Decay.
Because the sub-aspects contain no apparent contradictions that would lead to their dissolution, God's process of becoming self-aware shifts from disintegration to creation:
The angels of the second generation become self-aware through reflection (“Who or what am I?”) and since their traits (“principles”) are recognized as coherent rather than contradictory, their self-awareness constitutes creation, not dissolution.
The principles thus recognized are embodied by angels of the third generation, whose own process of self-awareness gives rise to further principles.
An example of the process described above:
The aspect of Wisdom divides into the sub-aspects: Beauty (Form) and Light (Content).
From Beauty arises:
The principle of Attraction;
from this, the principles of Grace, Elegance, and Pride emerge.
From Pride arises: Self-Respect and Haughtiness.
From Haughtiness arises: Condescension and Coquetry.
From Condescension arises: Arrogance; from Coquetry arises: the Desire to Seduce.
The aspects and sub-aspects of God, embodied in the angels of the first and second generations, are the primordial soup of life: The entirety of creation – every principle, every form of consciousness, every form of existence – has developed from them, and every act of creation unfolds according to the Laws of Creation inherent in them and emerging from them.
The more detailed or concrete a principle becomes, the denser the body of the corresponding angel.
After many generations of self-awareness, the recognized principles are so detailed and concrete that a material embodiment becomes inevitable.
This marks the beginning of our material universe.
Further processes of becoming self-aware give rise to additional, increasingly concrete consciousnesses, including those that assume human form.
Every consciousness must attain knowledge (a conscious understanding of what is right) and transform it into insight (deliberate, internalized action free of doubt).
Only in this way can consciousness reduce its density to ultimately merge with its higher consciousness, its creator.
Consciousness embodied in human form typically requires many reincarnations to achieve this development.
Every consciousness anchors itself in an environment where it is confronted with the themes it is most intensely engaged with.
In this way, efficient learning is ensured.
God withdraws into himself
The immanation of God is driven by
The Divine Spark is the imprint of the unity with the own Creator – and ultimately with God – passed down through all generations of creation.
It ensures that every consciousness strives for knowledge, eventually attains insight, and ultimately merges with its creator.
This merging is a deeply desired, voluntary act, not a forced one, occurring only when an individual consciousness has fully dissolved its density and its desire for “return” has become overwhelming.
Thus, each consciousness merges with its higher consciousness until God once again consists of the four aspects – now fully aware of Himself and of the unity of His aspects.
Only when God falls into such a deep sleep that all consciousness is lost do the aspects once more appear irreconcilable.
God awakens, fractures, and the process begins anew.
Yet the new creation will not be the same as the previous one, for it is the free will of each consciousness that determines the path it takes toward insight and the moment at which it merges with its creator.

The Purpose of Creation
All levels of creation are „similar“, and all laws apply analogously across every level of creation, even if their specific manifestations may differ.
Every part of creation must become self-aware in order to ultimately merge with its creator – so that God, in turn, may become fully self-aware and ultimately return to unity.
The entire creation serves the purpose of God's becoming self-aware.
This process of becoming self-aware is triggered by the question, “Who or what am I?”, the desire to understand one’s own being.
In the phase of emanation (when God awakens), this desire will manifest in various ways.
The driving force behind development may be curiosity, a sense of duty, love, the testing of boundaries, or many other impulses.
During the phase of immanation (when God withdraws into Himself), the merging is driven by the longing to “return home”, to find the place where one belongs.
Evidence
Can this concept be proven?
Scientifically:
Creation unfolds according to the described laws, and these laws manifest in the material world as natural laws. As a result, the material world can be described through scientific methods without invoking a supernatural “first cause”.
The immaterial world, however, is not accessible to scientific observation and thus cannot be proven or falsified.
Philosophically:
All arguments for the existence of a supernatural entity – a God in any form – ultimately rest upon foundational assumptions that must be accepted rather than demonstrated. This concept is no exception.
Empirically:
In the absence of definitive proof, one can nonetheless reflect on how substantial the answers deduced from this concept may be to frequently asked questions.
Derivations
Based on the above process and the underlying laws, we can derive answers to frequently asked questions concerning God, creation, and our role within creation.
For example:
The Longing for God
Many people feel that there must be more to existence than the material world; they hope for an omnipotent, good, and loving God.
For some, this feeling alone suffices as proof of the existence of such a God; others attempt to logically prove God's existence.
This conception of God, and the feeling associated with it, can be seen as arising from
Every consciousness carries within itself the longing to return home – to experience shelter, belonging, and love.
This longing comes out of the original unity with the Creator and is inseparably bound to the very existence of consciousness.
However, this feeling plays no role in the actual development of consciousness.
Development always requires the step from knowledge to insight – transforming the awareness of what is right into action that is free of doubt.
Nonetheless, the search for a coherent explanation of this feeling may lead to knowledge, and thereby represent a step toward insight.
The Properties of God
Is God...
... necessary? The four aspects (Truth, Wisdom, Justice, and Movement) are eternal and unchangeable. God is the sum of these four aspects; however, they are united within a single consciousness only when God sleeps.
… personal? Only in this dormant state does a single consciousness exist that could be called “God” – but in this state, no other consciousness would exist to ask such questions. When God awakens, no singular consciousness remains; God is then no longer a single person.
… omnipotent? No; no consciousness can act in violation of the laws of creation.
… omniscient? No; no individual consciousness is omniscient.
… unchangeable? No; God develops within a cycle of Sleeping, Awakening, Withdrawing, and through multiple cycles that are similar but never identical.
The Fine-Tuned Universe
The full realization of God’s self-awareness is the goal of creation.
In order for this to be achieved, increasingly concrete principles must be discerned throughout the course of creation, each embodied by ever denser forms of consciousness.
At a certain point, consciousness becomes so dense that it requires a material body.
This marks the beginning of our material universe, the Big Bang.
However, the process of self-awareness is not yet realized at this stage.
For creation to continue unfolding toward its purpose, it is not sufficient for just any universe to arise. What is needed is a universe complex and enduring enough to allow the development of higher forms of life – life capable of embodying consciousness that has become too dense for the immaterial world.
The consciousnesses responsible for initiating the material universe must therefore move from the recognition that a material universe is necessary to the insight into how such a universe must be structured.
In the course of this process – one of trial and error – many universes may come into being that are not suited for full self-realization, until eventually, worlds emerge that allow for a comprehensive unfolding of consciousness.
Predestination and Free Will
Every consciousness possesses free will, meaning that its will is not restricted by any external force. However, the insights it has acquired limit its range of action, because true insight expresses itself as internalized action free of doubt.
In order for a consciousness to act freely again, existing insights must first be shaken by new knowledge – only then can it choose how to respond to what it has newly understood.
Thus, free will and predestination do not contradict one another.
When a consciousness acquires new knowledge or transforms it into insight, is governed solely by its free will.
Once it does so, however, its vibrational pattern changes; the vibrations it emits will resonate with new patterns, drawing it to a different harbor.
Moral Values
Humans derive their notions of “moral” and “immoral” from values and norms they perceive as universal: Consciousnesses with similar insights into moral values emit similar vibrations, causing them to resonate with one another and naturally gravitate toward each other.
Their shared values are a direct result of these similar insights, which therefore appear to them as universally valid, and they tend to regard actions that violate these insights as “evil”.
These notions, however, are universal and overarching only within a given group, such as “humans”, “Christians”, and so on.
The values and norms of other groups, formed by other consciousnesses with other insights, can differ greatly, but a consciousness that acts in accordance with its own insight is not acting “evil”.
Ethical values therefore reflect and consolidate the individual insights of a group’s members, while also providing points of resonance for other consciousnesses.
The Problem of Evil
The problem of (moral) evil arises under the traditional assumption of an omnipotent and good God who could, in principle, prevent evil but doesn't. Within the process outlined here, no such God exists.
Nonetheless, we can derive certain conclusions on “good and evil”.
The concept of “good and evil” emerges from the recognition of truth:
Good means knowing the divine laws – the truth – and acting in accordance with them.
Evil means knowing the divine laws – the truth – but acting against them, based on the belief to be justified in doing so.
It is this belief in personal justification that constitutes true evil. As long as consciousness holds such a belief, genuine insight remains unattainable.
A consciousness acting in accordance with its insight does not commit evil – though it may still need to refine and adjust its insights over time.
Humans rarely encounter true evil, mainly because their perception of the higher truth within universal divine existence is inherently limited.
Life after Death
The material embodiment is the appropriate mode of existence for a consciousness as long as it has not yet gained sufficient awareness – and thus the lightness and transparency – necessary to transcend the material world. Only then can the soul as the embodiment of consciousness exist in a semi-material world without sinking back into denser states; until that point, it simply it will simply not dissolve enough to leave the material world behind.
Even angels lacking insight must incarnate when their consciousness becomes too rigid and dense to sustain an immaterial form – they “fall into matter”, whether they want it or not. Lack of insight means the unwillingness to learn or to act in accordance with what has already been understood. This “unwillingness” is concentrated energy, focused on a particular thought, behavior, or form of avoidance. At that point, consciousness condenses, and if this process continues over time, it becomes so dense that it materializes and falls.
A consciousness cannot transition directly from the material world to the immaterial one, because development always requires insight, meaning correct and internalized action. Insight can only be acquired over time; knowledge alone does not enable true development. As long as a consciousness remains too dense for permanent residence in the immaterial world, it will continue to reincarnate in the material world.
There is no fixed number of incarnations; however, even a very small piece of knowledge cannot be fully transformed into insight within a single lifetime. Insight means not merely understanding something, but embodying and living it – thus, even an angel who must incarnate due to a lack of insight in just one area will require multiple lives to attain it.
The time between two incarnations depends on the density of the consciousness:
A dense consciousness will reincarnate almost immediately, or at the latest after a few years. A more transparent consciousness, by contrast, may require centuries to find a point of resonance that matches its complex vibration. Because it is no longer as dense – and therefore less heavy – it no longer sinks like lead and is not compelled to reincarnate right away.
Only when a consciousness has gained sufficient insight to be permanently light enough for the immaterial world is the cycle of reincarnation broken.
At that point, the long-sought and fervently desired reward for all efforts becomes possible: a voluntary and deeply longed-for act – liberation, the merging with the home, with the Creator.
The consciousness then becomes part of the Greater Whole, like a drop of water merging with the sea or a spark merging with the fire; it reflects the Whole in miniature and yet remains itself.
This goal can only be achieved through the process of becoming self-aware: through knowledge – the understanding of the unity of all existence – and through insight – the internalized ability to act in accordance with this knowledge across all aspects and principles of God.
The Loss of Individuality
Every consciousness inherently longs for reunification with its creator, this is the driving force behind all development. It arises from the original unity with the creator and is inseparably linked to the very existence of consciousness.
Rather than mere curiosity or the desire for knowledge, it is this profound yearning for belonging, acceptance, and unconditional love that drives development.
The ultimate goal is liberation: merging with the creator, returning home. At this stage, the consciousness becomes part of the Whole, like a drop merging with the ocean or a spark rejoining the fire – fully reflecting the Whole, yet retaining its essential nature.
Conscious Memory of Former Lives
Is it possible for humans to remember other incarnations or the immaterial world?
No human being can remember all incarnations. The “storage capacity” of the brain is simply not high enough. But some memories are possible.
Does the soul in the immaterial world remember everything?
If remembering means consciously recalling – then no.
The “storage capacity” of an immaterial consciousness is indeed much greater, but as its vibrational pattern shifts over the course of its development, many lives simply "disappear" from resonance. They dissolve. What remains is the insight that was gained.
Science
Spiritual laws are the natural laws of immaterial worlds.
Conversely, the physical laws of the material world are condensed reflections of these immaterial laws.
The same principles apply everywhere, but in the material world they necessarily take on a more concrete form. They yield to material conditions – otherwise, they could not describe or reflect them.
All levels of creation are “similar”, and the same fundamental laws apply across all levels of creation, even if their specific manifestations differ.
Evolution, for example, is the material embodiment of development. It is the material counterpart to creation through self-recognition in the immaterial world.
The Meaning of Life
The entire creation – including human life – has the purpose of merging with its creator consciousness.
This merging can occur only once knowledge has been transformed into insight.
A human being is therefore tasked with transforming a vague sense (an intuitive glimpse of something just beyond awareness) into knowing, and from there into insight: the capacity for conscious, internalized action free of doubt.
Conclusion
God sleeps,
God awakens and becomes aware of Himself,
God withdraws into Himself.
These three lines condense the entire process of creation—a process through which whole worlds, entire universes, and myriads of consciousnesses emerge from one unconscious unity.
Much of this concept can be found, in elements or ideas, within various spiritual or philosophical traditions. What sets it apart here is an internal coherence that can be logically derived from the aspects of God and the fundamental laws of creation.
