PART 2
THE PATTERNS OF THE PLAN
Plans. The formulas are the blue prints or designs of the plans of
God. These serve as the bases in the executions of His plans. His
creations of the universe and the earth were all based on formulas.
These formulas were all designed with corresponding Divine Words and
numbers arranged in manners to materialize something or anything
from nothing. Whatever God had planned previously were first
materialized in His mind, an abstract of the temporal plan which is
perfect and absolute. This is an indication that a plan, whatever it
is, is always perfect and absolute because it originates from the
mind – an ideal construction of its form. It will only deviate from
the ideal form once being executed. God is the only perfect planner
and designer.

Assuming that God is the mind where all the plans concerning man,
the earth, and the universe emanate. These plans were perfectly
designed because the designer is perfect and absolute. Therefore,
these three creations are also perfect in the sense that the
designer had perfectly planned and executed them. It's an act of God
and always bears the characteristics of the doer. So, man is a
perfect creation, and his state being human is designed with the
same manner as the "planner" and the "plan" because he has the mind
(planner) and the body (plan) embodied in one entity.

Let us put in this way: the universe is the design in the plan of
God. God is the planner and the universe is the realization of the
plan. God being the planner is the mind, and the universe as the
materialized plan is the body. Whatever is the plan or purpose of
God to the universe will definitely be materialized because the body
is always dependent in the impulses or dictates of the mind.
However, whatever is the plan of God to the universe will always be
in connection with the beneficiary of the plan – the earth. I
believe a plan is always something that reflects a certain degree of
gratification in order to satisfy the purpose - an end in itself. If
this is true, we can also suppose that the earth, as designed in the
same manner as the universe, must be the same as a plan being
materialized together with the planner. But, assuming that the earth
is the plan, who is the planner then? It must not be God anymore;
instead it must be something that could represent God in a way that
can be like God itself. It must be the Natural Law which holds all
the patterns of the natural phenomena in the material world. But
what is the end purpose of all these natural phenomena in nature?
Since nature has its own pattern of activity, all these things are
all designed in order to maintain a perfect balance of nature. This
is the defense mechanism of nature in order to restore itself and
last for ages.

Man must be a planner too, like God. This is true because man has
the characteristics of both the planner and the plan. His mind
encompasses almost everything in the material world, as limitless as
the universe. That's the characteristics of God, the planner; He is
as big as the universe and encompasses everything, like man's mind.
The totality of the human body is the end result of the plan as
perfected in the mind of the designer – which is God – as
represented by man. Let us discuss this further. Man is not like God
who can create man like in the act of creation. But man was created
in same image or likeness of God. He is given the gift to be
rational and act the way as his creator do. He is given the spirit
to be more superior and far above from the rests of creations. He
was assigned to take good care of them. And, after man had taken
the "tree of knowledge of good and evil" he became like God, knowing
what is good and evil. In this way he became the reflection of his
creator; a thinking individual who can plan and act for the
satisfaction of his will.

Now, man is gifted with a spirit and a powerful brain, and this
spirit and brain made him a rational planner. It shows that man, if
properly guided by his spirit and rational thinking, and acting in
accordance with the will of his creator, can perfectly accomplish a
plan. Since the body is dependent from the brain, it is a truism
that a disciplined mind reflects a disciplined body because the body
is the mirror of the brain. Whatever the body displays is a
reflection of what the brain is thinking. Thus, the thinking of an
individual can be known from his obvious behavior.

Based on the ideas presented I can conclude that creations of the
universe, of the earth and of man were all based on one and the same
pattern leading to one ultimate purpose - the establishment of
the "living temple" of God in the material world.

to be continued...
