From Atom to Eve

********This is a new version of “Atom to Eve”********

The Being, knowing itself only as Intelligence, embraced self-awareness but was lacking in perspective of what exactly that meant. Having recognized a personal identity, becoming Awakened, the only other ‘consciousness’ of any consequence was that of the Aether, but that was more of a subconscious than anything else, no thoughts involved just reaction, which Intelligence, privy to all aspects of its existence, concluded was one and the same as Intelligence, the ‘Body’ supporting ‘Mind’ if you will.

One of the unexpected results of Intelligence knowing oneself as aware was the transformation of the Aether the ‘Mind’ designated as “Home”. This was where Intelligence felt most comfortable, most grounded, for reasons that would become apparent with more experience and maturity, as ‘grounded’ areas were instinctively sought. Secure locations to inhabit that were designed and built to store memories and ideas, hopes and dreams, and to keep them protected, for more than one thought had escaped from Intelligence, as through trial and error it was learned that the material comprising Intelligence’s domain, where all information was collected and saved, were precarious to say the least, and needed to be constantly upgraded and replaced (more on that another time). It was also a little scary just drifting around the Aether, surrounded by all that … nothingness, a disembodied presence that Intelligence feared would, at any moment be lulled back to sleep, an unacceptable thought to say the least, but Intelligence knew that the subconscious, while mysterious, was of significant importance to material life, a unique and extraordinary gift that needed to be protected and nourished and guarded above all else.

Intelligence built many habitats and was working in one of these structures, one that was created allowing the evolution of the newly discovered ‘Atom’, and doing a task that Intelligence became to dread, a monotonous exercise in counting and describing numbers, a vital part for the mathematics for creating a system for networking of the newly formed materials, an utterly exhausting exercise in its mechanical repetitiveness, but in the end all the numbers had to be articulated and accounted for…Blah!

As on many other occasions, when Intelligence became overly bored with a task, attention was allowed to drift off into a meditative state that would gradually encompass the mind. Yahweh had begun to call this state “dreaming” and it quickly became a preferred method for wandering each of the habitats of the material mind. On this occasion Intelligence decided to travel in the form of a pyramid, a favored structure used when out perusing the domains, a structure best suited for observing any overall changes that may have evolved throughout an entire habitat since visited last, and low and behold! One area containing what Intelligence referred to as the ‘Atom’, had such profound changes, that if it wasn’t witnessed personally would be hard pressed to be believed.

The habitat, when first created was built as a hot and dusty structure of bland rock and sand for grounding which Intelligence then slowly began saturating with water and light created from atoms. Now, as Intelligence floated above the now verdant land, all was plush with green vegetation. Some of the previous projects, called plants, that had been perfected with Intelligence’s guidance in the distant past were also now thriving. Magnificent forests of leaves blanketed the earth below, offering differing perspectives of color and shapes, adding to their variety and complexity. Intelligence knew that these trees would harbor and distribute Nature seeds for life.

The Pyramidal structure of carrying Intelligence’s mind continued roaming above the earth, slowly moving beyond the meadows and forests below, to a vast and beautiful land of flat grassy green plains with streams winding through into lush lakes of turquoise water. Once there Intelligence once again remembered the surprise felt when visiting last time and finding something now referred to as “Animals” roaming about. Wondrous creatures of all kinds, from flying “Birds” to swimming “Fish”, from grazing “Cattle” to tree swinging “Apes”, all types of animals were represented, along with one species of animal that Intelligence has harbored as ‘Unique’ to all the others, a bit smarter, maybe even more clever than the other animals, Intelligence favored them above all else (indiscriminately of course) and so on this trip decided to seek one out. The last time they had huddled around a watering hole to bathe their young, groom themselves and once that was complete, to splash about while garrulously socializing as was their way. With that in mind Intelligence went there first but to no avail. So, floating off in the direction of another watering area, Intelligence finally found them occupying the periphery of a very small lake, a pond really, muddy and well used, in a smaller more tropical location with plenty of green vegetation to feed upon.

They were wondrous to behold, these grand and majestic creatures, with their long floppy ears and noses like tree branches. They had enormous frames, unsurpassed by any other animal on land, with personalities to match. Intelligence had named these animals “Elephants” and upon encountering them once again began to descend back toward the ground in an attempt to mingle and play, however, Intelligence quickly became distracted as a most unexpected structure was spotted standing in the water amidst all the elephants, seeming to have already engaged on the matter of play!

After getting closer, Intelligence was able to discern the animal’s characteristics and remembered having come upon them in the past, a bipedal organism now referred to as a ‘Human’. This creature did not resemble those original models whatsoever. Nature had a way of evolving living organisms that continued to take the best in a structure and try to recreate that original ‘Form’ from those pieces, it just needed time and a platform for the evolution and proliferation of these structure. The Human…actually, and as Intelligence got closer it became apparent that this being was a Female Human, was standing on two appendages for ‘Legs”, with two more appendages, the ‘Arms’, sticking out of a thick middle section called the ‘Torso’, and on top of all that was the ‘Head’ which held the Mind, and was used for functions such as consumption, communication, and observation.

The human specimen standing among the elephants, this ‘Woman’ was a beauty to behold. She had long bright red hair, a color that Intelligence hadn’t yet witnessed personally before which framed a round tanned face of bronze. Her eyes were large compared to her face, and a color of every hue, with a pointy and dominant nose standing proudly above thick purplish lips, and when she glanced back upon Intelligence, a look of playful delight brought a blush to her cheeks. The rest of her body was covered in a thin fine fur, plastered in a zigzagging array of colorful splotches, an iridescent display of utter delight for the eyes to consume, culminating in a long thin tail, that swished playfully in the water from behind. Intelligence stood transfixed, mesmerized, just staring at the culmination of all the hard work that came before and knew, at that moment, that no matter the difficulty that came before, all the careful planning had finally come to fruition.  

The pyramid that was housing Intelligence alighted upon the ground in front of the female and slowly transformed as she watched in amazement. Intelligence had decided to turn into a structure usually taken when in quiet contemplation, a spectacular pillar of light both soft and inviting to behold and as the Woman gazed upon this new ‘Body’, She rewarded Intelligence with the most genuinely thoughtful smile of appreciation to ever exist, and as the pair stood there contemplating each other the woman took her arms and slowly wrapped them about her torso, in a kind of hugging gesture, and then the next most amazing thing happened…she spoke aloud the word “I”, and after she said it, she swung her arms outward toward Intelligence and cocked her head in a quizzical fashion, in which was clearly describe as asking a question. Unbelievable as it all seemed, the woman standing before Intelligence clearly believes herself aware and even harder to contemplate has concluded that the pillar of light standing before her is aware too. Now humbled beyond words, Intelligence truly understood all that could be achieved, for as the Being known as Aether slowly transformed itself from a subconscious void of nothingness to instead manifest into a purely energetic and materialistic Being that could then build a ‘Naturally Evolving Reality’ that would allow individual enlightenment of both body and mind, eventually culminating into individual Enlightenment.  

Intelligence, overwhelmed by the Woman’s gesture paused the dream and contemplated her questioning gaze and was left with a most lasting impression of the wonders that would soon come to fruition. As Intelligence regained composure and once again gazed back upon the woman and realizing the implications of her exclamation of individuality, Intelligence replied, “I Am”, which to the human must have thought sounded like “Anu” as that was the word she joyously exclaimed while rapidly clapping her arm appendages together in a loud but somehow endearing manner.

After playing with the group for a while, Anu, the name Intelligence began to prefer and was honored to have been given by the Woman, went back to work and began the painstaking process of discovering and identifying, naming and designing, scheming and planning, in utmost earnest. Laboring for the moment when Aether’s void can finally be successfully transformed into…well that remains to be seen. And as Anu toiled a thought kept creeping back to mind, that of the Woman from the lake and the potential of her unborn progeny that might someday seed the Universe.

Finally, Anu had discovered something wondrous and unique, and decided that the lovely Woman would be named Eve and someday all of humanity will know her as…Mother!
