Metaphysics and the Teachings of Thomas Troward

Existence is the First Truth. The first truth is the fact that we are here.  Many will hate that I start with this but existence is the first thing to know and understand about that which causes our existence. It’s first because it is most obvious.  We exist because that which causes us to exist is and always was. If you don’t know why we exist you won’t be able to grasp anything else that I have to say.  

Not being is impossible.  To not be, that which causes us to exist, the universal supreme creative force, would have to go from being to not being.  It would have to disappear if it could go from being to not being.  This means going from something to nothing.  We all know matter cannot be destroyed.  I think this is the law of conservation of energy/matter.  This law implicitly says ‘What is, always was.’  This means there was never a time when there was nothing. There might have been a Big Bang but there was always something to bang. The bang was that which always was changing form.  

 

Purposed Movement is the Second Truth The second truth to build on is, movement.   Why is movement important?  Movement implicitly requires the ability to move and the volition to move.  The USCF has to have the ability to move and the power of choice of movement. This means it commands the power of self. If something moves we know that a force acted upon it.  If that something is all there is, then that something must be moving itself. When a basketball goes into a hoop we implicitly know that a force acted on the ball and that force desired to make the shot.  Force and volition is implicit in all controlled movements.  To move with volition means to move knowing what you are moving for.  Volition implies movement has a purpose or reason and is of the desire of the mover.  All controlled movement is backed by desire and volition of the mover.

Creative Movement requires thought and decision. The third and most important truth to build on is the truth that creative movement requires thought and decision.  Thought and decision are implicit in creative movement.  Before there is any purposeful movement there is a decision/thought about whether or not to move and then a decision/thought about which way to move.  Thought and decision is behind the creation of everything.  This thought and decision truth implies and requires consciousness.  This thought and decision requirement of creative movement implicitly means consciousness is behind creation.  Direction is a component of creative movement and requires thought and decision.  If you drive a car from New York to the Miami consciousness is required the whole way because of the decisions you have to make.  This means consciousness is behind all constructive movement.

Everything is of Consciousness. The fourth truth we derive from the aforementioned truths.  Consciousness is behind everything there is, was, and ever will be.  Implicitly this mean thought, choice and decision are of consciousness.This consciousness is the force behind, and the substance of everything.  This means that we are of the consciousness that makes everything and the consciousness is made of us.  We are the expression of the consciousness.  We live through the supreme universal creative force/mind/consciousness and  the supreme universal creative force/mind/consciousness lives through us.  This leads to the conclusion.  A conclusion that at this point is merely a clarifying of a definition.  This definition is to the word, God. How do we define God?
