The Creation of Individuality

Many would agree that the traditional explanation for creation is completely untenable. Angels are created, only to fight a war, humans are created, only to fall, religion is created, only to fail, so all is flawed, a cascade of one mistake after another. Yet, the Bible itself continues to have a profound influence on our society, even though that influence often results in chaos. The creation of Angels, leads to a chaotic war. The mortal fall, results in a chaotic world. The creation of religion, results in a chaotic struggle between belief systems, resulting in a great deal of religious tension. Yet, the traditional creation story can be contrasted against the creation of individuality, giving us a very different result.

By definition, the individual is a single entity, that is indivisible or that cannot be divided without the loss of identity. Once the individual is created, it is then hands-off, otherwise individuality is sacrificed, which would oppose the very point of such a creation. The resulting, “free will,” must then produce extremes of both good and evil, which can only produce a chaotic society. In fact, if one understands individuality, one would then realize that any society composed of individuals must be chaotic and that it would be completely unrealistic to expect any different outcome. Nor could there ever be one simple truth that could undo that chaos, as it must occur.

Now, if we look for sources for the early Biblical stories, they are not difficult to find. The Hebrews learned about the flood of Gilgamesh, which became the flood of Noah, during the Babylonian captivity, where they also got the story of the baby Moses being placed in a basket on the river, and the lineage of Adam. All of these were Babylonian stories found on tablets in Israel. Then, the eruption of Thera provides the basis for the plagues of Egypt, and the sources for the story of Moses and even perhaps the Exodus may well be linked to the life of the Pharaoh Akhenaten, who believed in the one God.

We know that the Hebrews starting writing the Bible, either during, or just after the Babylonian captivity, so just after they had been defeated as a nation and carried off as slaves, or just after their God had failed to deliver them from the armies of Babylon. And, in their minds, the explanation for this would have been that they had sinned against their God, thus he had not delivered them.

So, as a result, they wrote about this, “God of vengeance,” who is going to punish us, if we aren’t faithful, or if we sin, which was all a response to what they had just experienced as a people. They took the sources for the early stories, which they fictionalized, and combined that with the consequences of their perceived sin against their God, who did not deliver them, which is contrasted against their deliverance as slaves, even though they never were slaves, and this is what we see in the Bible. Yet none of this has anything to do with individuality.

The untenable explanation of creation found in the Christian Bible actually begins with the creation of Angels resulting in war, which gives us the initial separation between good and evil. Yet why would a “so called” perfect God create Angels and then have that creation end in war? Would it have been intentional, or would it be a mistake that proves God to be imperfect? And if we for a moment consider the possibility that Angels are individuals, for which there is tremendous evidence, could that individuality then result in chaos leading to war? If one follows the logic through the answer is yes.

In fact there is a logic which shows that the Divine can allow any individual to ascend as long as they will choose good over evil as a divine being, in which case total power does not corrupt totally. The Angels were created as individuals, they chose between good and evil, as individuals, and those who chose evil became forever corrupted by their power and had to be cast out of heaven. This was followed by the mortal creation of individuals, resulting in a chaotic world, in which every mortal who chooses love can be allowed to ascend as they will also choose good over evil as a divine being. Then the greatest command is to, “love one another,” and variations of that law are found in every major religion and throughout human society. Love then becomes the true expression of faith, for all people, making religion irrelevant.
