A friend pointed out how in Genesis with the creation of everything, “Before there was light, it was dark” so darkness is in a sense older and wiser than light. I don’t think this in the sense of evil, but rather in the emptiness that allows for the I AM/being.Shawn Henry wrote: ↑September 5th, 2023, 3:12 pm We all know God knows from the end from the beginning, but what is it in the beginning that he declares and to whom does he declare it?

Tolle explained that “I AM that I AM” is present tense, not past or future. Generally we don’t time travel in this life. We never experience in the past or future - rather only in the present moment.
Similarly I like in the parable about Jesus’s birth, while logically, & literally telling about something that already happened would be past tense, but present tense is used:
- “Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.” - Luke 2:15
