Tales from the Beginning
Sourced from the Mother-Father
Compiled by Reverend Corinne S. Ramage
Introduction
These tales begin with the awakening of the spiritual self. For you to understand these times clearly, a few basic concepts should be explained about the times when Life evolved spiritually on Earth. The time frame is 25 generations from the beginning of conscious thought. It was after the struggle to survive eased and strength of community grew to proficiency that the Awakenings began. This is how it was.
The knowledge of a Divine *Loving Presence had always been known and sometimes accepted and sometimes rejected as this was the gift of independence and free will. It is important to know that the gift of the Mother-Father was Themselves and not Themselves. One could, and still can, allow themselves to be Loved or not Loved. Both are Divinely inspired choices. So there is no way for one's choices to not be Divinely held. Not believing, not embracing, not Loving did not ever denote not being Divinely held. You are *Lovingly supported always. That was, and is, the gift associated with independence and free will. This concept is important to your understanding of the Tales from the Beginning.
There was a Being whose name is best pronounced as La who grew into gifts that had been given to all. La was so called for the sound of L which represents Divine Self, open to Spirit, breath flowing from within to out with the sound. The a is the sound of the full breath out, honoring, welcoming and connecting to the Divine outside of Self. The in-breath after the sound a is also a part of the name. It completes the circle and affirms Oneness. The three sounds together embody the words, I am the Divine on Earth. The Divine is in me. I am One with the Divine.
That Llaa, which is the closest true spelling of the name, grew into the gifts given to all, was destiny made manifest on Earth. Personal choice determines who will grow into and Live the gifts. All are given the opportunity, then and now. There is no One chosen. All are equally gifted. There are no superior, there are no inferior Beings.
That there was an expression of Divine *Love outside of self a *Loving presence, a *Trusted companion was already known in the 25 th generation. The Tales from the Beginning, though, start before the First Awakening and move through six more. The stories themselves will unfold, but there is more frame work to share for your understanding.
Llaa, who first Lived the Teachings of the Mother-Father, awakened one day, after many days lived in Joy and Love, to the realization that the Divine was within. The spark of the Divine ignited into a full flame within, and Llaa burst into radiance. This was the First Awakening that the Divine was equally radiant inside Self as outside Self. The Second Awakening was that the Divine Flame was in Others, but neither Awakening was accepted until after the Third Awakening came which grew out of the days Lived empty and sorrowful.
It is the time of emptiness and sorrow that you remember and that locks you into suffering. Here are the roots of suffering for revelation. This wasn't the only choice, but it was the path Llaa took and you followed.
In the time of Llaa there was no language as you know it, but there was communication. Everything of importance was known by all. Love of the land was shared. Animals and plants were revered. Children were Loved by all. Women were honored as creators because of their ability to gestate and birth Life.
Men were revered as the guardians of Life and considered closest to the land and the animals. Men and women did not and could not Live without the other. They were both counterparts of the story of Life. Together they were Life. They knew togetherness meant survival and being alone meant Death.
In this time, roles were what they were and different from what you know. All men were Fathers to all children. Women Loved all children but Mothered only their own.
A child only knew their Mother not their Father. Procreation was understood, but it was not connected to ownership of children just Loving. The institution of marriage was very far away.
The ability to Love determined whether a woman was acknowledged as Mother or a man as Father. A barren woman was not shunned. She was not ostracized. If she could Love, she was accepted. Her primary role was not to birth children, but to Love as Mother. A weak or ill man was not shunned for his inability to guard as long as he could Love as Father. (If he could not Father his own children, this was never known so was never considered.)
If a woman was strong, she could be a guardian. If a man chose, he could care for children. Roles were defined but flexible. To Love or to be Loving was more important than anything else.
There was no concept of family as you know today because ownership of people through marriage was unknown. There was, though, the family community, which was a structure based on the celebration of the individual, a reverence for the land, the animals, the plants and the community itself.
These were not the Harsh Times. It was the Good Times that Llaa was born into. You would describe these as good times, but they were the familiar or what had been Lived for almost 25 generations. There were Beings who could have created hate and intolerance, but they did not. Duality being the Earth mission, was not Lived out in the differences between man and woman or Mother and Father. Self was not defined by What Was Not but by What Was because the Path of Self was very simple: child then woman/man then Mother/Father. The fewer the choices, the less chance there was to be separated by duality. There was, though, one judgment or one wrong in these times.
Duality was Lived through the deep fear or suspicion of those who could not Love. Either one Loved or did not Love. To not Love was considered very wrong. Rarely was Not Loving experienced, but when it was it was disturbing to all because even if a child or adult could not Love that Being was still Loved by the many. The one would could not Love was the community's concern.
If one could not Love, they were abandoned. Leaving someone alone to die was emotionally devastating to the community. They were not intended to respond to No-Love in this way. But it was their free will to do so, and to explore Life on Earth in this way.
The gifts of Love and their free will, collided. The Beings decided that to Love was so important, there would be complete intolerance and punishment levied for No-Love. This was the first expression of Diversity Intolerance. No-Love activated was as Divine an expression as was Love, but this was not understood. With the choice to reject No-Love, the dualistic journey of the Beings on Earth began to unfold in its own Divine way.
The true innocent, as were these Beings, knows only Love or only hate, and can not free itself from the one dimensional experience of Life. As we begin these tales, deep reasoning was not developed, and inner reflection was beginning to develop. Life was about to become multi-dimensional through Llaa's spiritual reflections and revelations.
So the Good Times of All Love were an illusion because beneath the surface No-Love waited to be Lived fully. Over time the absence of No-Love, made Love hollow, but these innocent Beings couldn't have known this. The original experience of Love became hollow because that was the dualistic consequence of the freely willed actions of these Beings. They did nothing wrong. It was their destiny to know No-Love as deeply as Love and the consequences of this spiritual struggle are what created Llaa's destiny and the Awakenings.
My Personal Afterthoughts
I think the following points are important for us to remember from the Introduction:
1) We must watch our own propensity to make Love the only acceptable spiritual path.
2) To reject No-Love is a measure of Diversity Intolerance.
3) Llaa's suffering for revelation is firmly rooted in the human psyche and is our legacy.
4) Suffering is not the only path to revelation. It is the one we have chosen.
