In the beginning, the Gods—immortal beings of pure thought—entered the realm of matter out of a desire to create. This was not an exile or a punishment; it was a grand adventure, a playground in which they could explore their limitless creative potential.
The Gods sculpted forms from the clay of the Earth, breathing life into them, merging their essence with matter. They delighted in their ability to shape reality. Every flower, every creature, every element of this world was crafted with joyful curiosity.
But soon, something unexpected happened. The Gods, who were once limitless, began to experience limitation. The bodies they had created required maintenance—food, shelter, and protection. What began as a joyful exploration soon became a struggle for survival.
This was the first great forgetting. Man—once a God—became a creature of need, a being who feared loss, pain, and death.
As the Gods continued their experience in matter, they became trapped in cycles of reincarnation. Initially, they could leave this world at will, returning to the realm of pure thought. But with each lifetime spent in fear, competition, and struggle, they accumulated new limitations that bound them to this plane.
Each life presented new "lessons"—not because they were being punished, but because they still believed in lack and limitation.
This world became a plane of demonstration—a place where beings would return again and again until they remembered their divine nature. Every struggle, every moment of suffering, was an opportunity to reclaim their Godhood.
But instead of seeing life as a game, most became deeply entangled in their emotions and limitations. Death became an accepted reality. The Gods forgot they were eternal. Instead of knowing they could manifest anything, they labored for survival.
The more they reincarnated, the more they forgot who they were.
"In man's beginnings on this plane, when man still knew he was God, he lived in the same embodiment for thousands of years, because the power that gave the body immortality was the purity of unlimited thought that man expressed in a state of being"
~ Ramtha ~
As the Gods fell deeper into forgetfulness, some sought to control others by claiming to have divine knowledge. Fear had taken root in humanity, and those who understood how fear worked began to use it as a tool for power. These self-appointed "prophets" and "seers" proclaimed:
Religion became a system of control, not enlightenment. Instead of guiding people back to their divine nature, it separated them from it. This system did not need weapons to control the masses. It simply repeated the lie long enough that people began to believe it.
Over thousands of years, the soul-memory of divinity was buried beneath dogma, guilt, and blind obedience. Man no longer looked within to find God—he looked outside himself. Spiritual enslavement was born.
In the earliest times, the Gods coexisted in harmony, delighting in creation and in one another’s brilliance. But as they continued their creative experiments, something shifted. They began to compare their creations.
Creation had turned into competition. At first, this was harmless—a game of "Can I make something even more spectacular?" But then, the Gods began to measure their worth by the greatness of their creations.
Jealousy was born. Comparison led to feelings of inferiority. Some Gods, seeing their creations destroyed or overshadowed, felt a deep loss—something they had never experienced before. To reclaim their sense of importance, they sought to outdo one another. The world became a battlefield of ever-expanding creation.
The first Gods created plants. Then others created creatures to consume those plants. Still others created predators to consume those creatures.
What started as a joyful expression of creation had now turned into a struggle for dominance. The ultimate act of competition was when the Gods took embodiment as man—to become the rulers of this realm. But by taking on a form, they took on its limitations.
Now they were vulnerable. Their creations—wild animals, natural disasters, disease—became threats instead of expressions of beauty. They had entered a game so immersive, they forgot they were the ones who created it.
The descent of the Gods was complete. They no longer saw themselves as Gods. They saw themselves as mortals—finite, fragile, and struggling for survival.
After thousands of lifetimes, humanity still lives under the illusion of mortality. From the moment a child is born, they are taught:
But this has never been true, for you are God. You have simply forgotten. You are still divine. You are eternal. You have simply been conditioned to believe in death, fear, and limitation.
The eternal truth is your body is not your identity. The body is a creation, a tool for experience. But you are the creator, the eternal consciousness of that body. The illusion of mortality only persists as long as you believe it is so. The moment you choose to remember your divinity, the illusion shall fade.
You no longer fear death. You no longer see struggle as a necessity. You no longer seek validation from others. You become the creator of your own experience once again.
The journey back to God is not about earning worthiness, for you were never unworthy. It is about knowing that you are already God, and simply choosing to be that which you always were.
Incarnation was never meant to be a prison, but a playground. You have lived thousands of lives. You have played every role—the master and the servant, the hero and the villain, the rich and the poor, the saint and the murderer. Each life taught you something, but now it is time to remember who you are.
You are God.
And when you accept this truth, you will no longer be bound by the illusion of limitation. The adventure is yours to choose. Will you continue to play the game of forgetfulness? Or will you wake up and reclaim your divinity?
The choice has always been, and will always be, yours.
So be it.
