The Metaphysical Truth about Adam and Eve (Part 1)

Here, Emmet Fox breaks down the aspects of God that are essential to understanding mental science.  When we talk about the universal supreme creative force we are referring to the mover of all the atoms and subatomic particles.  The force behind all creation and expression is this source/force/consciousness. Once we understand the truth about the universal supreme conscious creative force/spirit we can understand life from a basis of truth. Then we can go on to examine how the Bible is consistent or inconsistent with this truth.  If the Bible, or any other form of communication, is consistent with the truth about the universal supreme creative force, it will be easy to discern through examination.  The only thing to examine is what is expressed.

 

Genesis, the first book of the Bible, tells us quite a few things relating to the beginning of time.  I say the beginning of time because there was no time before Spirit, the universal supreme creative force, differentiated itself into expressed matter giving us the time-space dimensions.  Before the current epoch of expression, there was no time or space.  God as all the potential of the universe was the unconditioned conscious spirit.  For an understanding of Spirit, I suggest The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science by Thomas Troward.
