Po Brian David
It sounds strange to say that the universe was created by divine truth – “truth” doesn’t
sound like an active, building kind of thing – but it makes more sense when we think of
“truth” in its deepest sense: as love expressed, as love given form. Because the Lord was
love itself He had to create so He would have something to love. And truth is the thing
that turns love into creation, by giving love expression and giving it form.
That’s not easy to visualize. But it’s interesting – and a bit stunning – how those ideas
from the Writings were borne out by Albert Einstein 130-some years later. One of
Einstein’s most important findings was that mass and energy are really the same thing.
That’s expressed in the famous equation e=mc^2 , in which “e” is energy, “m” is mass and
“c” is the speed of light. It meant that mass – the “stuff” things are made of, the stuff we
can feel and heft – is actually made up of huge amounts of energy trapped in very small
spaces. This meant that breaking up “stuff” and releasing the energy would be very
powerful – it is the basis of nuclear weapons and powerplants – and also meant that the
universe was ultimately one big energy field, folded and crinkled to form mass, in ways
complex enough to form the world we know.
These things were not known or even imagined when the Writing were written, but
replace energy with “love” and mass with “truth” and you can see how alike it is. Truth is
love in patterns, crinkled and folded to form solid concepts, just as mass is energy in
patterns, folded and crinkled to form physical things. And that natural reality of mass and
energy is an extension of the spiritual reality of truth and love.Arcana Coelestia 9410:5Athanasian Creed 145
