Legends 1
In the Beginning

In the beginning, the legends of the Wise Men tell of a blank, dark universe without stars, suns, or any other source of energy.  Even the proto-matter from which electrons are made lay still without motion, an utter absence of heat and light. A huge star-ship, a celestial world, a sun, inhabited by very advanced beings of almost pure spirit, moved into this section of the universe, and came to rest at the very center of this huge mass of silent, dead matter.

Starships of this nature are named for the captain of the ship, and the captain of this particular starship was named Kolob.  He said, "This is the place reserved for us from the beginning of time.  Let us make this a place of glory; let there be light.  And so they thought together, and with the vibrations of their thought waves, they started the tiny particles of proto-matter to vibrating in unison. Vibration caused a warmth to develop.  Faster and faster the particles vibrated until they gave off heat; then faster and faster till they finally gave off light.  Thus was created the very first element of the universe - FIRE.

When one creates a thing, its opposite is also created. Nothing can exist without its opposite - neither light without darkness, nor heat without cold, nor love without hate, nor fire without water. Protomatter vibrated in the opposite direction from fire; Thus was formed the second element of the universe, WATER.

Opposites always react upon each other in one way or another.   So it was that fire and water came together in counteraction.  The fire turned the water to steam and thus was created the third element of all - vapor, or AIR.

The air then joined with fire in the battle with water, and the water was destroyed.  The residue from all the water settled out as it turned to steam, first to become mud, then earth.  This was the forth element, EARTH.

All this matter was unorganized and lay at random throughout the universe.  The dwellers within this huge sun were of a very high state of advancement.  So much so that many ages before, they had given up the restrictions of body and form - existing as pure spirit.  All had been perfected in the place from which they had come, and were no longer male and female, but had merged one into another until they became a perfect whole.

Then Kolob entered into their unity and children were born.  Kolob said, "Let us make for them places of lower vibrations and less god-like sensations.  These will be the nurseries and schools for our children until they have attained sufficient maturity to return to the celestial world."

Then they thought together again and passed an eternal law of attraction which caused the matter now called fire, water, air and earth to come together in one place, and thus they created the first world.  But this world was dead, being still born, and there was no motion or life on it.  Kolob decreed that then, and for all time in the future, all worlds would receive life, light, and warmth from the star which had created them.

Then he placed the newborn of the celestial world into bodies suited to the environment of the new world, that they might grow and learn until they were ready to return to their parents in the celestial world. The children did grow and learn until finally, having attained a portion of perfection, the eldest returned to the celestial world, and being full of love for his Father (the Great Kolob) said, "I have only the desire to serve thee, Mighty Father."

Then Great Kolob replied, "Thou hast spoken it with thine own lips. The only way to serve me is by serving my other children, so that they might follow the straight, narrow and difficult path that leads to spiritual perfection." The perfected child was then sent back to help his younger brothers and sisters so that they might gain perfection, for only in the attainment of spiritual purification can one enter into the celestial world.

Soon many of the other children were perfected and laboring in the mortal world, teaching and helping other children until a full third of the spirits of the world were perfected." Kolob saw that there was no room in the starship for them. He sent the eldest of the dwellers of the starship - the first mate - to be captain of the new starship. Together, they raised the vibrations of the world until it became a huge star-ship with its own light and celestial life and thus a new star was born - the first star in the heavens beside Kolob.  Many of the children of this world could not stand the high increase in vibrations as their world became celestialized. Kolob and his people created yet another world for them until there existed all the worlds that the energy fields of the giant star could cover.  Thus it was true that only the perfected ones, who were a third of the total of the children of the world, were able to live in the new celestial world - a new starship.  The new star moved away from Kolob's energy pattern and in due time, put out worlds of its own for its own children born in the new celestial world. Kolob decided that this was good and he decreed that from that time and henceforth whenever a full third of the spirits raised on a particular world shall gain perfection, that world would become celestialized and would be given to the next senior spirit of that solar system.

Thus began the celestial plan which has filled the heavens with suns, stars, and worlds. As Kolob grew older and wiser and the dwellers of his star grew older and wiser, the vibrations of their world increased from a yellow, to a pure white, to a blue white, and went even higher beyond the realm of visible sight so that in this day his vibrations are so high that we cannot see his world.  But neither can the light pass through. His home and that of his oldest children lie in the dark and impenetrable section of the very center of the universe.
