Section 2: Existence
1.	Think of an apple that you hold in your hand. You know it exists because you perceive it. It does not exist because you perceive it; but simply exists because it is there. So we can say “Everything that exists; exists.” But how does the apple exist?

2.	The apple surely came from a tree; unless you are in the practice of making apples from elements. The tree came from a seed. The seed came from an apple. And so on; back to the first. Whether tree or apple came first; the original prodigy of the apple came to be; and we know this by the fact that we know the apple exists. The apple’s seed contains genetic information that leads to the formation of a new tree; and hence more apples which contain more seeds. Originally; a tree must have come to have given of itself; to create a seed. Thus in this way; the existence of the seed was created. For only through giving of one’s self; can creation come to be. And only through creation are all physical things that are come into being, and as only through creation are all physical things that are; all individual physical things are part of creation.

3.	But I ask of you “What created the act of creation in itself?”.

4.	With a lack of something; there is something to fill that lack. For does not energy flow from high to low? For creation is much the same as knowledge and energy; it flows from high to low. Does an artist paint on a painting already painted? Or does the artist paint on a blank canvas? And this finished painting; once painted on a blank canvas; can be appreciated; and inspire the ones who see it! It is in this way; that only through creation; are all physical things that are; and all individual things are part of creation.

5.	Just as you become as an instrument of creation when you may paint a painting; God became as creation through creating all that is. And so; God’s image exists in everything; as without God there would be nothing.

6.	For without creation; creation could not come to be created.

7.	For what could create creation; but creation itself? Could a painting paint itself?

8.	It is in this way; that our Creator; and all things of Creation; is known as our creator.

9.	But you may ask “How was God created?”,“who created God?”, and “who created God’s Creator?”. Do you ask “but how was the artist who painted this beautiful painting created?” when you see the artist’s painting? You simply know; that there was an artist. And God is the artist who painted this beautiful painting that is the universe. God is the creator. God is, was and will be. It is really that simple; and yet mind-boggling in its simplicity. This is not to say God created God.

10.	For I said to you “Everything that physically exists was created.”

11.	God became as creation; when he created creation. For before there was creation; all that there was everything there was; and yet nothing, a contradiction.

12.	From this we say God exists without the physical creation; of his own right.

13.	But I say to you “how can something exist; if it does not exist physically?”

14.	I ask you “Does time exist?”

15.	 How do you prove time exists? By the effect; and apparent action of said thing. It is in this manner that man proves that which he does not fully understand.

16.	Has anyone found the “physical manifestation of time in an object that causes time?”; save for the effect on physical matter that is in existence?

17.	 Much as an apple in your hand is observed to exist; it is the by effect and observation of time that we know time exists.

18.	And by effect and observation we can know God exists.

19.	But how can we measure the “effect of God?”, or the “observation of God’s action”?

20.	We observe creation. For I say to you “Existence was created. For only through creation are all physical things that are come into being, and as only through creation are all physical things that are; all individual physical things are part of creation.”

21.	Thus; it is said that God exists without time; and without space.

22.	But you may ask “how can we say that God exists without time?”, and “how can we prove God exists without space?”. For this we must go into how all of creation was created.
