When humans become aware of God, they understand love and law as coming from a single divine source rather than just through their own senses. This divine source is described as being one, from which the entire universe extends in a balanced and rhythmic way through the interchange of opposing forces, in order to simulate reality for sensing beings. The key law underpinning all of creation is balance and balanced interchange, as seen in phenomena from star formation to insect breathing. Comprehension of this fundamental principle of balance would give one insight into both the visible and invisible workings of the universe.

1. When God-awareness begins in man he begins to know the meaning of LOVE and LAW instead of knowing only what they affirm themselves to be to his outer-sensing.

2. He then knows GOD, and LOVE and LAW, to be ONE. From this ONE the universe is extended to simulate reality to sensed-men who can but hear the moving universe affirm its reality without knowing its Source in the ONE.

3. Because the words of The Message itself have a deeper meaning than any descriptive words can ever have, we quote one page from The Message of The Divine Iliad, about the underlying Law of all Creation which asserts itself in every effect of motion in the universe, from the forming of stars in heavens to the breathing of man or insect, or from the building of a nation to the making of a pair of shoes.

7. He would have attained that omniscience which is God’s alone. If he alsocouldacquire full comprehension of themanner in whichGod divides theunity of Hisown balance intoequal and oppositepairsforthepurpose of reunitingtheirdividedunityinto ONE, thesecrets of God’s visible universewouldalso be his.

8. He would have attained that awareness of God’s omnipotence and omniscience which would transform him into a universal Being rather than an individual unit of Creation.

11. Every effort of Nature, and interchange of man, is based upon the necessity of seeking a balanced unity through the motion of opposed pairs. The chaotic status of man’s world is evidence of man’s ignorance of the necessity of balanced interchange in all of his affairs and actions to find the ONENESS from which repeated divisions into pairs can extend.
