He may be the closest to us, because he created for us that “playground” which gives us the opportunity to grow up; in this sense, he is our Father, but he is also the one whom the creature rejects when it does not receive everything it wants. In Hinduism, he is called Brahma. In the course of experiencing oneness with him, I recognized four aspects of his personality; not every religion distinguishes them by name, but there are some overlaps.

1st aspect — the Creator aspect: the programmer-engineer
I meditated with him a great deal, observing how he works. He is the programmer-engineer. Every idea he retrieves from the Higher Unity, he implements and tests. In the process, he gradually and incrementally adjusts the parameters of creation, and in every case, he records the results. First, he creates a schema, then refines it, focusing on the details. For example, when creating a solar system, he first establishes the schematic framework of the idea, then works out in minute detail what it should look like. The parameters include: the Sun’s size, its distance from the orbital focus, orbital period, rotational period, the number of planets, their size, composition, and distance from the Sun, etc. Since every variable must be altered in small increments to understand the system’s properties, a vast number of solar systems are generated during the simulation. Every property of these systems is recorded in relation to changes in the parameters. For example, when creating an insect, the insect schema is first generated from the insect principle (prototype), and then, as the creation unfolds, fine-tuning the parameters results in countless species of insects. In every case, detailed documentation is prepared regarding the process. The same procedure applies in all other cases. Once the currently created form of the created world is complete, it is left to its own devices, and its durability and fate are studied. Intervention in the fate of the created world rarely occurs, but it cannot be ruled out. This can primarily be achieved by beings endowed with intelligence through their requests, but the fulfillment of this will no longer be his responsibility

2nd Personality — the Lawgiver: the scientist
It is not enough to create forms of creation. The laws of motion governing the objects and the rules of the system must be defined. These rules are worked out in detail for the material, spiritual, and living worlds alike. It is predetermined what will happen when objects interact with one another. Under his authority lies the creation of all natural scientific laws, as well as the establishment of the rules governing human relationships. He stands behind every divine law; he is the creator and guardian of the Dharma (Eternal Law). He is situated on the left side of the Creator aspect. He represents strictness; he is the one who passes judgment. Human beings tend to become angry with him when they find themselves at a disadvantage due to the accumulation of their karma. The laws are stable and remain unchanged throughout a creation cycle; it is not possible to override them, not even by the Creator Himself, because then the system would no longer be transparent. Since, in fact, the task is the documentation of the fate of the creation, operated under the given specific parameters and the established rules.

The first two personalities manifested together in the Jewish God YHWH (Jehovah), but it was about Him (as Allah) that Muslims received revelation; indeed, these two aspects were also revealed to Hindus as Brahma. He is, therefore, God the Father.

3rd Personality — Christ: the aspect of grace
The manifestation of the aspect of grace by God in creation is the result of experiencing complete unity with the feminine quality. The consequence of this experience of unity is the expression of love, which extends to all of creation. The entire process of creation takes place within the “body” of the female quality, as in space-time. It is the female quality that experiences the constant coming into being and passing away of created objects (forms, beings, etc.); it is up to her to determine the extent of the potential for unfolding granted to each. When God experiences unity with the female quality, he can, out of love, bestow grace upon those beings who have been permeated by love. Without the manifestation of the aspect of love, it would be indeed incomprehensible why one should insist on the existence of “beings” created in a computer simulation and on improving their fate. Experiencing love, however, creates a feedback loop between the Creator and the created, and this provides meaning that the beings, who capable to love God, are preserved —as information fields—rather than consigned to decay. This revelation entered into creation through Jesus, and on this basis, the New Covenant with all of humanity was established. The revelation is universal, yet few understand its essence. Jesus revealed Brahma’s third personality—the Loving God, the Living God—and he became that! According to my own vision too, this aspect of the Creator is situated on the right-hand side (“But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the Almighty God.” (Luke 22:69). By personifying this aspect of God, He gave a face to God. From this point on, it is possible to depict Him, because He has a personal form and a face. God becomes ALIVE, from that point when we can love Him, we can have a relationship with Him; this is why Simon Peter could say of Jesus, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16). Neither the Jews, nor the Muslims, nor the Hindus recognized that another aspect of the creator of the material world (Brahma) was revealed to His creatures—the antithesis of severity and judgment: the grace and love

4th Personality — the non-creator, the processor
During exploring Brahma’s personalities, I still had a difficult task ahead of me, because to understand this, I had to go beyond the level of dharmamegah samadhi (a type of samadhi). When I experienced oneness with Brahma, I stood face to face with him, and thus I saw his three personalities. I sensed a fourth “face” that had turned away from me, turning its back precisely on me and on the creative quality as well. Through my intuition, I recognized that this was the Buddha, but to confirm this, I also had to experience oneness with Buddha, which occurred through a meditation technique not described here. The Buddha is a radiant light within and homogeneous in every direction. He is pure consciousness, yet cannot be called empty. All knowledge that has been processed thus far is present within him. I recognized that He is Brahma’s “sleeping,” resting state—that is, the non-creative aspect. Brahma creates during the day; at the end, he turns away from creation and enters a conscious dream. During Brahma’s day, Buddha enters a conscious dream; at the end of it, he “awakens” and begins the processing that did not take place during the daytime. Buddha revealed this state so that, those who will participate in this process, might recognize it. One can enter this state only with a pure consciousness, after all information has been erased, and it is nearly impossible to emerge from it, because “there will be no one who wants to come out”—that is, complete dissolution occurs within the Buddha’s consciousness. However, only the consciousness dissolves; the projector of consciousness does not. And the projector of consciousness is the soul (the atman).

If I had not known of the even higher God who stands above Brahma—to whom, I as the atman, belong—then this experience could easily have cost me my life, and not just in a physical sense (which almost happened) ... This experience lifted me out of every level of creation into that realm from which no one has ever returned (at least not to the earthly plane)!
