The Five Essential Forces of Universal Creation
The eminently esoteric, occult guiding vectors that are fully manifested in Summer Soul Retreat 2025
The ancient Shaivite tradition of Indian spirituality constantly describes the five essential subtle forces of godly creation as fundamental aspects of the macrocosmic creative process.
In initiated human beings, these five occult godly creative powers manifest as essential components of any eminently beneficial and rapidly transformative creative process:
The Mysterious Occult Power of the BENEFICIAL CREATIVE WILL
Simultaneously represents the godly intention, the sublime yearning, and the crucial inner impulse of the Supreme Absolute to initiate through each of us, every universal as well as MACROCOSMIC creative and manifesting process.
In the inner universe of human beings, it also manifests as a mysterious impulse, as a form of elevated godly passion, as a noble motivation inspiring us to create or pursue high godly goals in life.
It is a yearning but also a deep intense aspiration to create, to act, to transform, that has as its main axes a valuable, brilliant idea that will be transposed into reality.
The Mysterious Power of BENEFICIAL CREATIVE KNOWLEDGE
Manifests as godly intelligence and wisdom, which ceaselessly guides the act of creation, thus making it possible to project it into the whole MACROCOSMOS. It is the source and mysterious sum of the godly laws of nature and the fundamental spiritual principles of existence.
In our inner universe these are reflected even in the form of deep intuition, full harmonious consciousness and true global understanding arising spontaneously in any beneficial creative process. It is also the ability to conceptualize, plan and structure ideas filled with Godly wisdom with clarity and to guide the act of creation with purpose and with a fully dynamic, harmonious awareness.
The Mysterious Power of BENEFICIAL CREATIVE ACTION
Signifies the dynamic subtle energy of creative realization, which brings beneficial will and knowledge into a tangible uplifting form. This subtle force also actualizes the godly plans, through activity that is always sublimely purposeful, in the material world.
We can identify it in our inner universe as the subtle energy of godly action and obvious accomplishment that makes it possible to promptly transform our ideas inspired by God and our fruitful, fervent intentions into tangible results.
It is the active mysterious force that thus fructifies our enhanced creativity through perseverance and skillful beneficial effort that is exerted only in the right direction.
The Immense, Mysterious Powers of CONSCIOUSNESS AND BEATITUDE
These subtle energies are at all times the intrinsic nature of all godly Manifestation. They are also the primordial source of all and everything that exists, or could ever exist. They are the foundation and catalyst upon which all creation rests, and they are permanently the essence to which CREATION RETURNS at the end of a macrocosmic cycle.
They are always presented together because in reality they are inseparable. Where there is a deified consciousness there is always an oceanic ecstatic bliss, where there is godly bliss there also shines the unparalleled light of consciousness which is profoundly transformed and deified.
In our inner universe, they are the deepest crucial core of our being, they are the essence of our spiritual heart, which in reality is the immortal supreme self, Atman. They are the drop of essential godly consciousness that is present within us and animates our whole life which is profoundly transformed and deified: the goal of every fruitful, authentic spiritual path.
These five enigmatic godly powers always work in perfect harmony, and symbolize the interplay of godly intention, godly wisdom and godly action in the blessed field of the deified consciousness, which expresses itself in every process of creation and transformation, both in the macrocosmic sphere and at the microcosmic level in our being.
