Scene: A place called Havona ... the upper realm of the Heavens

All of Havona was astir. The Father had never conceived such a plan as this.

Astarina glided through the wave back home, where she embraced her beloved Astar with a scintillating vibration, swirling with him in ecstasy, and then anxious to tell the news she had heard at the central ampitheatre.

The concepts are so profoundly different, she exulted. First of all, we have been denoted as being in what is called Perfection. It is the status that we have always experienced.

And there are other concepts, previously unrevealed? asked Astar. He had just returned from an exploratory adventure and had not heard this first broadcast.

Yes, she said. While in the state of perfection, all is well and in the Father?s plan. But now the Father will create imperfect creatures, those who might example those very traits of destructiveness that we have heard about recently in theory.

But why would He do such a thing? To create that which represents error and is not in perfection seems to pervert the great wisdom that He teaches.

We are told that it will be for our learning and experience, so that we may truly understand the lessons that we have been taught. Perhaps it will also be an extension of our experience.

And yet, said Astar. I don't know that I would ever choose to experience evil. Perhaps I understand it well enough.

In truth, said Astara. This adventure is not for our primary experience but rather for our monitoring. The First Source proposes to send a legion of workers out into the vastness to create worlds of what they will call Time and Space. As I understand, it means that this Time has a beginning and an end, the state of finiteness of which we have already had theoretical preparation.

Yes, I now see the value in some of these lessons. And Space, I suppose, is also a contained reality. The two concepts work together to compartmentalize. Then will the Father fill these creations with new beings who are im-perfect? And why? Surely there is more reason than for our education and entertainment.

This is the amazing part, said Astarina. They will be evolutionary from the bare essentials of matter. Over time, these spherical gardens of botanical and animal life, such as on Zooania, will evolve to support advanced life that is capable of realizing the Father's existence, then on and on through a great expanse of evolution to actually, in the end, become One in perfection with God.

Amazing is an understatement. But how can animal or botanical matter become Godlike. It boggles the imagination!

The First Source will, Himself, create a special order of beings which will, at a certain time, be implanted in each of these evolving animals and they will eventually be transformed -- even though this must be accomplished through succeeding generations since there is a finite amount of time for each. They grow to a primacy, but then these organisms wither, sicken and die. What knowledge they have gained they must learn to pass on. There is also accidental death, for there will be much danger in these spheres.

No doubt from the volatile interactions that might occur, Astar surmised. Will these special beings of the Father that indwell these material ones have the power to control them for Truth, Beauty and Goodness?

Not really. As I understand it, the evolvers will have free will, and will only listen to the Father if they choose and succeed in making the connection

Brilliant, mused Astara. A vast laboratory -- not just for us, but for the new beings. They are challenged to disdain animal natures for divine ones through an internal monitoring system. And yet .... they can't attain it because their lives are finite. They couldn't possibly live that long, could they, in bodies made of matter. They must work together -- multi-generationally.

That's not all, my lover. Of course, they can't make it in the first exercise, but the Father is creating a whole machinery of teaching facilities to resurrect these material beings and bring them on to perfection through an elaborate ascension plan. It's all going to be outlined during the coming Source-1 broadcasts.

This all sounds more elaborate and vast than even all of Havona. And how will we be able to serve this mission?

By greeting these finite-to-infinite beings as they succeed in reaching us here. We will bring them the final way to perfection.

Astar was thoughtful. You know, this is the most incredibly complex and thought-provoking enterprise that we could imagine. The Father continues to amaze us with his spectacular creative concepts and skills.

And think of this, my soul mate, said Astarina. There will be billions of these beings in trillions of worlds coming on-line all the time -- all unique. And once this project is begun, more worlds will be created constantly and this will become an eternal reality itself. Establishing spiritual life within the basest of unknowing creations of matter and bringing them to Havona Perfection. There will be many types of these beings, all initially antagonistic toward one another. They must learn to love one another, know and love God, and build civilizations from these worlds that are composed only of raw materials.

They will surely need a lot of help.

Yes, at a given stage, the First Source will send a Planetary Prince, then later a Material Son and Daughter. I tell you, this plan is unbelievably elaborate. It is fascinating even to behold this first basic outline.

We are so blessed that the Father would give us participation in such a miraculous event.

But the material beings .... will they all be brought upward? Or will there be failures? Those who will die and just be gone? It seems such a daunting task, rather impossible in the first generations. Yet, I can't imagine the Father ever failing at anything.

Yes, mused Astarina. But if He chooses to create imperfection, failures may be part of the plan. He might create with the idea that only some will succeed.

Yet it would seem that what the Father would create, He would want to bring to fruition. For it seems quite certain that the Father would not propagate the illusionary concept of evil of which we have heard. It would seem that He would create beings who are truly capable of overcoming error and evil.

Yes, by being endowed with these internal adjusting spirits. I am confident that the system will indeed work and we'll be welcoming these pilgrims to Havona in the fullness of the plan.

I wonder how they will look. Will they be anything like us? Astar wondered.

Well, we are told that the patterns will remain inviolate, that there are a great number of variations that will be activated from the patterns that we already have.

But why imperfection? Why will the Father make his work unfinished? Is it that He would have the creatures gain cognizance and finish their development themselves? In that sense, is it a co-creative process between God and these material beings?

Yes. Yes! That vibrates me. What a concept! There are so many variations within this magnificent and yet unfathomable plan. Create a basis and then let the creatures develop themselves. And to give them guidance, implant them with a monitoring spirit from the Father himself. So the Father gets to experience it all too.

Each generation of these beings will do its part, individually and collectively, to bring these worlds to perfection, even as departing ones follow an educational plan that will lead them here. And eventually, all will come to a Oneness with the First Source. As we are.

How exciting, said Astarina. I love meeting and embracing new beings who are so different from ourselves.

What an adventure it will be, said Astar. We had best start getting ready for the first arrivals.
