1The primal foundation of all thought is right here, for instance, M. Theon may wish a certain result; if I am receptive, the idea may become incarnated in me, and under an extra spiritual stimulus it may grow and mature and become a material fact. Who shall say, with any actual knowledge, what or whence, of the power behind the Great White Throne of Deity, the Infinite Crea¬ tor, or where or in what manner, began the very dawn of primeval creation. It cannot be. The mind becomes dazed at the thought, and the soul itself would become insane in any attempt to penetrate within this infinite force, the impregnable mystery of the Infinite Universe of Being. You are quite right in saying that others must have asked the same question. Yea, truly this is so; for in the fathomless past, mil¬ lions of eons before our Sun had an existence, even; this question arose in the minds of those who, in other worlds, began to feel the promptings of an immortal soul. But it is, after all, but the query of a child in spiritual experience; and by correspondence, upon the same plane as the child of today; who asks about the man in the Moon, “how did he get up there.” Also, as the first scientific mind began to o 190 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT speculate of things beyond the limited vision of his fellow beings, in their dimly lighted cave asked, “What is Life?”
2Today, with all our marvelous advancement in the realm of physics, chemistry, the revelations of the Spectroscope, we are not one iota nearer the actual solution of the cause. As Hermes says, “All is living. Life is one, God is Life”, and therefore, “the origin of life is in God.” Your question, therefore, resolves itself into knowing God. You can, as you already know, only attain this knowledge yourself; as you realize, you are a part of God. There is an old myth, or perhaps it had better be called a symbol of The Beginning; the Winged Egg of Deity, floating, unconscious, upon the unmanifested void, an universal ocean of formless Aeth. After millions of ages had passed, the primordial cell, the origin of all things, began to move with life, and The Universe began; but, “how came the egg there?” To answer that is beyond my power.
3As to intelligence, yes, emphatically so; listen to me; In the low¬ est stratas of unmanifested life, organic or inorganic, there exists mind in some degree. Back of this; back, conscious mind reaches into the great unknown, infinite void of all manifestation. It lives, unseen; and to us, unmanifested being. It is there, that life and being first flow outward; brought out; so far as the organic worlds are concerned; by the cyclic pulsations, of all the outward towards the inward being, of the Universe; the great unknown; the very Arch Deity of All is there; not as a being with parts, but as an ocean of living mind, of unmanifested seed; The Great All Father of All Being; the biune Father-Mother, life of everything that is, was, or, shall be; and from HIM flow the infinite rivers of living force, to become manifest. This state is the Isis, of the Soul of the Universe. Biogenesis is the Divine Law; life from life, God is life, and life is thought.
