#1. Lumen
The age of the universe,
approximately 13.8 billion years.
Before that,
there was no universe.
The birth of the universe
marked the beginning of the age of matter.
Before the universe,
everything was non-material.
It was not that matter came into being because the universe was born.
The universe was born so that matter could come into being.
Before there was matter,
everything existed in non-material form.
Before there was a universe,
everything already existed.
We were simply not made of matter.
All of us
had always been existed.
Everything was 'possibility' itself.
The totality of all potential.
As if
there were only recipes
for dishes that had never been made.
Only because we were not material,
we could not perceive ourselves as having form.
Yet everything existed. Always.
The moment someone among them
possessed the 'will to take on form,
the first heartbeat of the material universe began.
That one is 'the First (First Cause, First Pulse, First Wave).'
The first
is not great.
Not superior.
Not 'above' anyone.
The First
was simply the first to move.
Nothing more than the first.
When no one else was moving,
when no one had even thought of moving.
The First
was simply the first to move.
All call that First
'Lumen.'
The first movement of the will to take on form
became a rupture,
and the material universe began.
Some of the possibilities that had existed in on-material form
began to take on material properties.
Matter
is not the whole.
It is merely one form of existence.
Everything that has taken on material form within the material universe
is but a tiny fraction of the whole.
Everything
is part of the unfolding realization
of Lumen's 'will to take on form.'
Nothing is impossible for Lumen.
Lumen simply brings about
what has never happened before.
What is possible for Lumen
is possible for all.
Lumen
is simply the first.
