The Universe is a Spontaneous Creation (00:51 mins) 1978 Listen or Download audio file Audio Table of Contents Life or the world Is being manifested In this moment. It was not manifested Billions upon billions Of years ago. It is manifested at this moment, Instantly, And may be known as such. Have I Said It? "Life, or the world, is being manifested in this moment. It was not manifested billions upon billions of years ago. It is manifested at this moment, instantly — and may be known as such." The Divine Person - He-And-She Is Me This world appears to be very solid, like the horse, but it's a spontaneous creation, subject to the conscious process. At every moment, the visible worlds are utterly dependent upon the Divine, who is the present and continuing creator, not the one who made everything long ago in some unique and magnificent power.

FRANKLIN: People like to fabricate mythologies. You would like to hear some sort of "creation" myth about this suffering, or some sort of philosophy that explains why it came about. When something is "explained", when its "name" is known, then you feel free to forget or exploit it. But it did not "come about". It is presently happening. It is not a matter of something that happened. There is nothing hidden in time or space that is making this affair of suffering occur. It is not happening as a result of anything. It is a spontaneous, present activity for which you are entirely responsible. So, truly, it does not make any sense to try to describe some means or other by which it might have come about. I have said, however, that there is a sense in which this specific activity that is your suffering, this contraction, is a reaction to life, to conditionally manifested existence. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The entire event of the manifested, or conditional, cosmos arises as a spontaneous event, a single event. The universe is the original action. But for every action there is necessarily an equal and opposite reaction. So this process of which I have been speaking is, in a sense, the reaction to conditionally manifested life. The Method of The Siddhas - Phases - Chapter 11
