Question

In paragraph form, describe the six main points of most creation myths.

Answer 1

1. Before the beginning nothing (void) exists. 

2. Into the infinite nothingness a spark appears to swirl, expand and fractalise ever random patterns (chaos). 

3. Into this primordial soup enter three creative powers, namely divine action (energy), utterance (vibration, word), and intent (knowledge). Note: I take these three elements from ancient Egyptian metaphysics, where Heka as "life-giving (divine) energy", with Hu as "life-giving (divine) utterance" and Sia as "life-giving (divine) knowledge" represented the three creative powers of the creator, all of which they deemed necessary for Creation to come about. 

4. The three creative powers produce the first semblance of order from chaos, in some virtually unimaginable moment of emergence. 

5. Order produces a cascade of forms, and the unconscious becomes conscious, just as action produces reaction etc. 

6. Living things become the images or representations of the creative power/process.
