THE PURPOSE OF THE UNIVERSE THE PURPOSE OF THE UNIVERSE IS GOODWhen we notice some of the chaotic human events that are taking place in the world, it is difficult to believe that the universe has a purpose, let alone a good purpose. And yet, we cannot either ignore the beauty that surrounds us. When we contemplate a sunset on a secluded beach or the innocence in a child's face, we are reassured that there is mystery that is beyond us. Why are we here? If we, mortal beings, are always driven by some purpose whenever we do anything, then God, who is infinitely wise, must have an eternal purpose in creating the universe. And, since God is omnipotent and has no needs, his purpose must be good. THE PURPOSE OF THE UNIVERSE IS ETERNAL In the Bible, we are told that God is ONE and yet we sense diversity, multiplicity and complexity all around us. We must remember that our natural senses only experience the lowest dimenions of the universe and most of us are unable to experience its higher dimensions. To use an analogy, if we were to only experience the lower dimensions of our body, we would see trillions of cells rushing about and doing their respective work. And yet, we know that our healthy body is a unified organization. Similarly, the universe is a unified organization that appears to be diversified on our level. The higher levels of the universe are not material; they are spiritual. And the upper levels of the universe, in the Holy Scriptures, are called the Heavens. In Psalm 19, we read: "The Heavens declare the Glory of God and the firmament showeth his handiwork..." The universe is the body of God. The higher dimensions of the universe or the Heavens are the mind of God. And, in the Bible, it says that man was created in the image and likeness of God. If we could raise our consciousness to the higher levels of the universe or the Heavens, we would discover the purpose of the universe and our own individual purpose, which God intended for us in His Divine Plan. When we see the whole physical universe with its hundreds of billions of galaxies, we are seeing the lower-dimensional cross-section of a unified Being. That ONE being is the Universal or Divine Man. The substance of this Divine Being is Divine Love and its form or organization is Divine Wisdom. God's eternal Life is Divine Love. And God realizes His Life or Purpose by creating beings to Love. This purpose is realized through Wisdom or uses. Every being in the universe has been assigned a particular purpose that contributes to the Divine Plan. It is just like the cells in a healthy human body. Every single cell performs a useful function. By simply acting as a human being and desiring what is creative, useful, Good and Wise for ourselves and others, we realize God's Purpose.
THE PURPOSE OF THE UNIVERSE IS DIVINE LOVE |
