I have come to realize that there is a Primary Source that is always there, from which everything has come into being, including human beings; beyond the Primary Source there is nothing and there never has been anything. Because He is everything that has always been and will be, the Original, the Creator of everything. This is a logical inference, a realization that can be called faith, because there is no real proof in our understanding of all this, and there never will be unless the Original Source Himself wills it. This is the foundation of everything. Further, everything will be based on this conclusion.

The Universe

Let us think not only about our origins but also about the organization of the world around us. Everything around us is incredibly ordered and has its causes. For example, a building does not build itself. It requires someone alive to want to build it, to have the knowledge of how to do it, and finally to begin construction. And only by this logic can a building be built. And thus, everything in the Universe has such a cause-and-effect chain of occurrence. Both the human mind and science talk about it.

Everybody knows the Big Bang Theory. This theory says that the Universe is not eternal and had its beginning from a small point that exploded, creating space, matter, time, energy – everything.

The Universe is not eternal – that's been proven for a long time. But like any structure, it didn't just appear for no reason. If there was this explosion of a point, it had ideal parameters and characteristics, otherwise everything that exists would not have appeared. This shows first of all that someone wanted to make that explosion, and then it was carefully designed and thought out, otherwise the explosion would be ugly and disorderly. We've all seen what happens when something explodes. But it takes incredible strength and power to organize such an explosion.

It turns out that someone has boundless power, knowledge, and authority, and the presence of a desire to do something tells us that he is alive. Again I conclude that everything has a Creator, a Primary Source.

Some more reasoning about everything being externally created. The argument for this is the orderliness in everything.

It is obvious to everyone that in reality any order is established by someone: in the apartment, in the closet, in the refrigerator, and so on. It does not happen by chance; only disorder can be created in this way.

To organize order, first of all, it is necessary to know how to do it, to calculate everything and think it over, using certain knowledge. Second, it is necessary to make an effort to move things to the right places. Third, it is necessary to have the desire to do all of this.

I come to the fact that order is always created by a living, reasonable, strong being, and cannot be made suddenly, especially on the scale of the Universe. And finally, in nature, everything around us has cyclicity and order. Day is replaced by night and night by day. A day is accompanied by the sun and a night by the moon. When the weather is good, the sky is clear, and when there is a storm, the sky is strewn with countless clouds. The motion of each celestial body is so ordered that man can determine its trajectory and travel time. Humans are born, grow up, grow old, and die, just like all life on Earth. Seasons come one after another: winter, spring, summer, fall. Everything in the world has an order, so everything is created by the Creator.

Everyone has a subconscious knowledge of the existence of the Creator, without any proof. Even an atheist utters the words, "Prove that there is a Creator of everything," and "Prove God to me". He is actually referring to the same Creator, Original Source, God, Who is known by all those who have come to the conclusion that there is a Creator of all things, and who is known to all believing, religious people. Why is this so? At all times, in every society, in every faith and religion, there has been, is, and will be the worship of God. This is the way human nature is set up by the Creator Himself. Everyone knows from childhood that love and kindness are good and death and evil are bad. The knowledge of the existence of the Creator is an innate ability, just like the knowledge of good and evil. In addition to this knowledge, a person can come to the same conclusion through the simple logic described above.

But it is impossible to prove the opposite, that there is no God, the Creator.

In search of the beyond

The need to plunge into reflection on the immaterial world is self-evident. If we assume that there is another world, a world of the intangible, the spiritual, or something else about which we have no idea, an infinite number of questions can be deduced from this assumption. How did that world come into being, who is the Primary Source there? We will never get an answer to all the questions about the immaterial world by reasoning based on some assumptions. But I am not going to do that, because there is no logic in that way of thinking. I cannot deny the existence of the spiritual world, but to find the answer to all questions about it, we need the help of something very authoritative, and worthy of our faith. It must be just as worthy of our faith as our realization of the existence of the eternal Original Source of all things. It is faith because we, humans, cannot understand the spiritual world visually, with physical evidence, any more than we can understand that the Original Source is eternal. I come to these conclusions through logical reasoning. We need the help of the most authoritative source of information about the spiritual, the best that mankind has in this matter, but in this source, the basis should be the axiom already proven above of the undoubted existence of the eternal Creator who created everything. All these criteria are undoubtedly met only by the so-called Holy Scriptures, and they alone are the books on which the monotheistic Abrahamic religions, or simply Abrahamic religions, are based. Monotheistic means based on the belief in one Original Source of all things, God. Abrahamic means originating with the prophet Abraham. By definition, these books are written according to the Word of the Supreme Intelligence, our Creator, the same eternal Original Source. That is why they are as worthy of people's faith as faith in the Original Source itself. It was with the descendants of the prophet Abraham that the transmission of information from the Creator to human beings began. This is the Holy Bible, which in its modern context consists of 66 books and the Holy Qur'an. I am not going to emphasize the different Abrahamic religions now, we will dwell on this issue a little later. The important thing is that we have something to start with when discussing the subject of spiritual, non-material things.

The question arises as to why these books are the best and most authoritative. And you try to find something more comprehensive, more orderly, more logical, more true in every matter, more famous all over the world than the Holy Scriptures. Believe me, they do not exist today. More authoritative, more intimate, more great works, in which everything is based on the axiom that there is one eternal Primary Source, I do not know.

Just as I came to the main logical inference at the beginning of this book about the existence of one eternal Primary Source, so the Scriptures say this. God is the one eternal Creator. And He is the Source not only of all material things, but also of what we humans call spiritual, and in general of everything that exists. Mankind always uses the best that is created, and it is right. Try to give up computers, television, the Internet, cars, and everything modern, and accessible, that simplifies our lives. That is why, I will take the best in the field of this information is the Scriptures. There are answers to all questions. Who is the Creator? What is the spiritual world? Why did He create us and everything around us, and for what purpose? And so on. It should be noted, as described above, that there is incredible orderliness in the Universe, such as the planets moving in their orbits in an orderly manner, entire cosmic systems being orderly to each other, everything on Earth being incredibly orderly, and also everything in the Scriptures being incredibly orderly, comprehensive, and majestic in every line.
