Ancient Wisdom Reflections: WHAT Is God?

Genesis

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:1

Lauretta Lueck (The Cosmic Code of Creation) begins her book with this first verse of Genesis.

What looks like a simple sentence holds a deeper, more profound meaning that is worth exploring.

“In the Beginning God…”
-Genesis

God is energy. God is Light. God is the Energy of all energy and the Light of all light – the Main Powerhouse! He is Conscious Energy, the Soul of souls, the Mind of mind and all our mental processes. He is the Life of all life. He is the source of all that exists.

-The Many Waters

The New Akashic Records describes this same essence as the quantum field of Energy — the living motion behind all form.

Energy is the flow or motion of all seen and unseeable, known and unknowable.
The New Akashic Records

The Tao Te Ching echoes this again, reminding us that the unnameable source is the limit of heaven and earth.

The Tao which can be described as
is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be pronounced
is not the eternal Name.

The unnamed is the limit of heaven and earth.
The named is the mother of creation.

Tao Te Ching, Chapter 1

The Tao gives origin to all creation through its virtue – its effective force; power or potency.

The Tao gives origin to all creation.
The virtue of the Tao in nature nourishes them, and their family gives them their form.
Their environment then shapes them until they are complete.
That is why every creature honours the Tao and its virtue
.”
-Tao Te Ching, Chapter 51

A Course in Miracles adds a further dimension by focusing on mind itself, making a fundamental distinction between the real and the unreal, between knowledge and perception. In ACIM, the “real” is the domain of God — pure knowledge, unity, and truth — while perception belongs to the separated mind and its shifting interpretations. Together, these teachings reveal that Mind, Consciousness, and Energy are not separate ideas but different ways of describing the same living essence expressing itself through creation.

Anything that God created is as true as He is.
ACIM 97:6 (9)

Every mind must project or extend,
because that is how it lives, and every mind is life.

ACIM 129

The power of one mind can shine into another,
because all the lamps of God were lit by the same spark.
It is everywhere and it is eternal.

A Course In Miracles 189: 7:5

Energy is building block of creation.
