In the beginning...
which means:
in archetypal form—
with the power to be something in principle—
like a point that unfolds itself in wings, in flame,
in all directions,
conceiving the idea of a universe
for better and for worse...
In that time before time and space,
the Being of beings
the I-They-Who-Are,
the One that is Many,
the Ultimate Pronoun...
Drew upon unknowable Otherness,
to convert into knowable Essence
two tendencies of our universe-to-be:
the cosmic tendency toward the Limitless:
the ocean of light, sound,
name and vibration—
all that shines in glorious space,
that rises in sublime time
as well as
the cosmic tendency toward the Limited:
a formed and fixed energy that moves
straight toward goals and solutions:
the sense of purpose that we see in
earth, water, fire and air.
In Principle,
In Beginning-ness,
Oneness envisioned the wave and the particle.
THE FIRST VERSE OF GENESIS translated from Hebrew
