Moses:  Wow!!  That was exciting ...and scary at the same time!!  What's next??

Creator: See that mountain over there??

Moses:  Oh, cool ...You gonna move it??  First the stick becoming a snake, then eating up their stick/snakes ...and the frogs were so funny.  Making them sick of all the frogs ...one of the things they worship, now that was really creative of You!!  

Creator:  Yes, Moses ...it's true I'm creative.

Moses:  Of course, that's why You are the Creator.  Then the Red Sea parting for us, only to then swallow them up.  And now, You are going to move a mountain!!

Creator:  Figuratively speaking, it seems like moving a mountain, getting you to settle down.  I really want to move your heart, and to move others.  That show of power was just for those who don't open their heart to Me ...those like Pharaoh, who didn't really get it.  He only understands that which he wields over others.

Moses:  Okay, I'm taking a deep breath.

Creator:  Good, now I want you to climb that mountain.

Moses:  Couldn't You just tell me here what You want to tell me??  I'm kind of old, and my knees are weak.

Creator:  I'll strengthen your knees.  The climb will give you more time to settle down ...and the others will have time to reflect also, and see that they sometimes have to patiently wait for direction on which way to go ...in those not so clear circumstances.

Moses:  Well, the road hasn't exactly been easy with them either ...that Pharaoh was quite merciless.

Creator:  You know that I know that ...that's why I led you all out of that.  But, you must all understand that the road with Me will not always be easy either.

Moses:  How will I know which path up the mountain to take??

Creator:  I will provide a landmark for you ...it will be a burning bush which doesn't burn.

Moses:  And will there be a smoke signal from the fire ...so I'll know the way??

Creator:  No, I already know which way you will go ...the burning bush will allow you to know you have arrived where I intend for you to arrive.

Moses:  Okay, I'll start walking.

******************************************************


Moses arrives at the burning bush.

Creator:  Take off your shoes ...this is holy ground.

Moses:  Okay, and by the way, thank You for all You did for us back there ...getting us away from Pharaoh.  And thanks for strengthening my knees.  I feel I could climb twice this far.

Creator:  No, you couldn't ...your knees were only strengthened for as far as you needed to go.  And by the way, you're welcome.

Moses:  So, what now??

Creator:  Take another deep breath.  I have two stone tablets you will be carrying back down the mountain, but that will not be for a while.  Back at camp you will be using your papyrus to write about what I'll have you write at that time ...but for now, what I am going to show you here, you are not to write about. 

Moses:  Why is that??

Creator:  Because what I want you to write about is the beginning of you humans.  It would be too distracting to tell others about what happened before you humans.

Moses:  Then why are You telling me ...certainly, You know how I get distracted.

Creator:  Yes, and that is why I wanted you to make the choice.  You can carry the tablets down the mountain now. You'll be back ...and then I'll show you what I was going to show you.  I knew you weren't quite ready ...and I just wanted you to admit it.

*****************************************

Moses carries the tablet down, sees how the people had gone astray, gets frustrated, and smashes the tablets.  

To make a long story only a bit shorter, Moses goes back up the mountain.

Moses:  You didn't strengthen my knees this time.

Creator:  Yet, this time you are ready.

Moses:  I suppose You are ...no, I know You are right.  Shoes off, totally exhausted ...yet, not frustrated.  I realize my mistake ...and I'm sorry.  I always fail You, but You never fail me.

Creator:  We'll wait until it's dark.

Moses:  You could just ...

Creator:  But, I'm not going to.

Moses:  No problem ...and by the way, I see those two tablets over there.  Thanks ...and sorry, what I did to the other two.

It is actually a beautiful sunset, with the brilliance of color splashed across the sky.  Slowly it fades, as do the shadows ...and what was once defined, no longer is.

Creator:  What do you see??

Moses:  Not much ...everything is in darkness.  It is mostly just black, and innumerable distant white lights.  Everything is just black and white.

Creator:  We will wait a bit longer ...and let you take that all in.

Moses:  Not much to take in ...as I can barely see anything at all.

Creator:  Would you like to come back another time??

Moses:  No, this trip up the mountain on weak knees was enough.  I get it ...and I'll try to see with my heart. But what are You trying to get me to see ...that my heart is dark??  I am truly sorry that I smashed those first two tablets.

The Creator doesn't respond to that ...often talking does not help thinking, observing, or taking in what one is supposed to realize.

Suddenly, a cloud moves overhead ...revealing more stars, and the mountain peak which appears to glow slightly.  A few moments looking upwards, then revealing itself is a sliver of the origin of the glow.

Creator:  As the moon comes into full view, you will see more.  But, remember ...you are supposed to see with your heart.  At a time in the future, people will distort what the heart is ...and they will substitute love with romance.  And they will also associate the moon with romance. 

The moon comes into full view.  Moses has seen this many times, but he feels he hasn't ever seen it quite like this ...though he wouldn't associate it with whatever romance is, or love for that matter.

Creator:  Black is as beautiful as white ...and in some ways, more so.  Consider the moon ...you can look at it, but you can't look at the sun.  The moon has no light of its own, yet it glows because it reflects the light.  The phases of the moon show you that the moon is black ...but, its job is to reflect the portions of light given to it.

Moses:  And the people you have created black are beautiful too.

Creator:  Yes, I have created them in that beautiful way. Have you ever seen a more wonderful expression of happiness??  Their eyes take in the brightness, glowing with joy ...and their smiles shine outwardly.  

Moses:  Yes, it is undeniable how wonderful you have created them.

Creator:  It is always My intent to give someone something that they will realize as wonderful because of the special way I feel about them ...and in return, if they reflect that love, not ignoring it.

Moses:  Yes, that is the struggle You said began with the angels You created.  You created them with glory, and a third of them decided to distance themselves from You, the very One who created them so glorious.

Creator:  Yet, with humans ...they will not hate the angels, they will hate each other.  They will seek for power and glory among themselves, which will never be as glorious as the angels. 

Moses:  It's so difficult to understand those who hate others, and why they value gifts more than Your love.

Creator:  The gift of My love for eternity with Me ...that's the greatest gift, one that I want everyone to have.

Moses:  But, how are people and angels similar??

Creator:  Those who look to Me as their loving Creator, those angels and those humans ...they will be My children, and they will carry the image of Me in their hearts. And that's why I chose you, Moses, because I see that you look at all people as being equally beautiful.

Moses:  You saw that I didn't like the way others were treated, and clearly I could have been living in royalty ...but, I chose to live within the throngs of those less fortunate. 

Creator:  Yes, I made a way for those to escape the cruel treatment of Pharaoh.  There will be a very sad time when there will develop a unspoken admiration for these beautiful black people, though they will be treated as Pharaoh treated people who he felt were less than him.

Moses:  Wasn't that most everyone?

 Creator:  Sadly, that's about the way it is.  Not cherishing the true worth of others, one tends to view them as only worthwhile for attaining their own power, glory, and status.  And it all gets worse very quickly.

Moses:  I realize the hate of Pharaoh ...and though I hate it, I lived with it long enough to know it's wrong.  Are You telling me that in the future people will be treated like this based upon the color of their skin??

Creator:  These beautiful people will not be valued for how I value them, but embracing My love is what matters.  And anyone who embraces My love will absolutely see these beautiful people as I see them. Yet, on the tragic side, are the times when those being victimized do not look beyond people like Pharaoh, and instead of reflecting My love ...they succumb to blindly reflecting the hate that was shown them.

Moses:  I see something else over there. What is that ...is it phosphorus??

Creator:  No, it is something I'm showing you that is not in your present world. That is an easel over there ...and a different kind of tablet resting on it.  It is the papyrus of the future.  I am going to show you some of the work of a very gifted man in the future.  Not everyone that I give gifts to will recognize where the gifts come from ...but, in most cases they will use the gifts nonetheless, some for good and some not.  Sometimes it doesn't matter so much whether someone loves others ...it matter more that the others feel loved. Yet, sometimes that perceived love can be felt ...and it is not good.  That is the worst deception.  But, this man actually used many stories that are real, some of which I will give you later.  And children loved him.

Moses:  What is happening??

Creator:  It is something that will scare a future King Belshazzar ...but, you aren't afraid, are you??

Moses:  No, it's kinda cool.  I've seen what You can do, and how much You love me ...it'll be interesting what You are going to show me.  What exactly is that ...sort of picture??

Creator:  That is a cartoon.  These characters were first brought to the future in black-and-white ...and they were 2-D, which means two dimensional, like anything drawn by lines of height or length, up & down or across the papyrus.  And even though they advanced on that, another group of people were very successful with papyrus Mario, or as they call it 'paper' ...but, enough of that.  Tell me if I'm boring you.

Moses:  No, this is fabulous.  Can I bring some of these drawings back for the people to see? 

Creator:  No, it's the future ...that's not My focus.  It's just something that I wanted you to see and understand.  I don't want you to share this with anyone, it's just something I want you to fondly remember ...during times that may not be very fun for you, when I later dictate all the writing I want you to share on papyrus.  You'll have to write it all out by hand ...no miracles with that.

Moses:  Okay, so we have this guy whom You gave a gift to ...to do what You call cartoons ...so what about this guy??

Creator:  As a child, he wanted to create a world that was interesting, but at the same time safe ...and it was, because it was fantasy.  And life can be relatively safe as long as one can distinguish between fantasy and real life.  This one man carried the idea into his adulthood, and convinced others to help him build his ideas. They called him, Walt Disney.  And later he did this ...

Moses:  Wow ...that color really brings a real ...'wow' to it.   And the picture is moving ...'Wow'!  Like You said, 2-D ...but, still double 'Wow'!!

Creator:  I don't want to 'Wow' you too much ...so I won't show you a hologram.  But, so much for the future.  It's interesting to look into, but I decided to also show you the past ...though I am not choosing it for everyone to know, as it would tend to be distracting and affect most people's focus.  Are you focused, Moses??

Moses:  Sure, You wouldn't be showing me, like You said, unless You felt I was focused ...and I'll need these memories to sustain me during all that writing I'll be doing.

Creator:  I created the angels first.  And unlike Walt Disney's future fantasy world ...it was all real, and it was filled with love, because I filled it with love, but I also gave them something else that wasn't very safe.

Moses:  And what was that??

Creator:  It was called freedom of choice ...but, that had to be there, because without it there would be no choice of anything, and no love.  No choice would be similar to this drawing tablet, a hologram, or what future generations will build ...machinery, or robots. A person would have the choice to develop these things, but the things developed would not have a choice ...just a natural tendency to wear down.  There would be no sharing, and no love.

Moses:  Tell me what that cute little character was, the one that kinda lit up the tablet.

Creator:  We were going to move on from that, but it does sort of tie into what I was about to say.  The children really love the cartoons, and one of the characters had the name of one of My future apostles ...Peter.  And the character you saw that was flitting around, casting light on everything, was called Tinkerbell.  She is what fantasy calls a pixie.  Many of the stories were not written by Walt Disney, but he brought them to life in cartoons ...part of his fantasy dream world, and later others went from pixie to Pixar, and from mere dreams to making them work, Dreamworks.  

Moses:  Show me more of the dreams.

Creator:  No, sorry ...we have to move on, or move backwards to reality, of the past.  The reason I had mentioned Tinkerbell again, was because she sort of carried light around with her.  And in reality, I did create a much larger creature, the angels ...and I gave one a job of being a light bearer.  I named him Lucifer.

Moses:  Tell me more about him.

Creator:  Okay, but his creation and activity with other angels isn't going to be so much in the human story you are going to write down later.  He will be mentioned here and there, mentioning some of the interference he does, but hardly a mention of the rebellion he began with the other angels.  Yes, Lucifer was a light bearer ...but, much of the light was rather earth tones.  Very pleasing ...but, nothing of the bright colors you saw in the moving cartoons.  Lucifer was a bit excitable, sort of like you were in your youth ...well, you still are, but your excitement now is mostly good.  You just have a few of those other moments.

Moses:  Sorry, I'll try to work on that.

Creator:  Well, I said there was freedom of choice ...but, I wasn't going to be just absent and have every angels just doing anything.  I did make myself available ...and to be available, I could have just popped up anywhere, but it is better when they come looking for Me.  After all, that is their choice. So, I established a place like this mountain.  And anytime one of them wanted to talk, they could come to the mountain where they knew I'd be.

Moses:  That sounds good.

Creator:  And that is good.  But, it's best when everyone chooses to be who they are.  I could have taken your place back there with Pharaoh, but he had a relationship with you, not Me. And you could have taken My place, but how would that be??

Moses:  Terrible ...not only could I not have done all the things You did for me, but I don't even have the wisdom to know what to do.  No one does, but You.

Creator:  But, sometimes people tell themselves, or other people try to convince them that they 'do' have the wisdom ...and then they try to be someone they are not. It doesn't work together for good. Consider the parts of your body. Each part has a function. A leg doesn't work better as an arm, and an arm isn't as durable working as a leg ...and neither of them can ever function as a head. And if they don't work together, they can stick their foot in their mouth.  Lucifer tried to be a head, but he didn't use his, in trying to get ahead ...and he walked where he shouldn't have walked.  We all have our part, and it was not his place.

Moses:  So, what happened??

Creator:  Well, at first ...nothing.  We talked, and he had the opportunity to listen and understand, but I knew his desire was too strong.  He wanted to be Me, and it's not merely impossible to be Me ...it is impossible to even be a decent you when you're trying to be 'Me'.  'My' way means there is peace, and everyone is benefiting as they work together in harmony.  But, when one tries to be 'Me', they are dividing what is truly good.  You can have a very satisfying  harmony, and a beautiful melody ...and that is instrumental to what is good, but the words and the lyrics are important too.

Moses:  It's absurd for anyone to think they can be You.

Creator:  But, there are those who are satisfied with absurd, as long as it brings others to them.  I have a special light that is My own.  But, Lucifer, the light bearer, wanted My light.  I had at My place, an array of brilliant fiery stones.  And Lucifer wanted to walk among them ...though he knew he wasn't anointed to do so.  Not everyone can handle the color that I provide for this world.

Moses: Yes, I fully remember the story about Joseph, and his coat of many colors.  That's sort of the reason we all ended up with Pharaoh.  

Creator:  Yes, I guess it's easier to use examples that happened during your time ...and it's difficult to relate to things that are so wildly different, like the past.  That's why I'm choosing to focus on you humans, which you can relate to.

Moses:  Okay, but just between You and me then ...I'll try to stay on topic.  Sorry for the aside ...I do want to hear more about Lucifer.

Creator:  Okay, but it would really require more conversation than there is air on this mountain ...so, just a few more points. The main point is that Lucifer also wanted to establish himself above Me, not pursuing a goal for us to all get along peacefully, but for a large percentage of them to join him, and not Me.  And joining him meant that they had to be against Me, an allegiance that I knew would have the outcome it did. One thing led to another, until peacefulness was no longer peaceful ...and consensus became disagreement.  One cannot serve two masters, and disagreement brought on infringement.  Much conflict arose because of disregard for one another ...and things became very angry and violent.

Moses:  Who won??

Creator:  Moses ...must you ask??  Who won with Pharaoh??

Moses:  No contest there ...your power is unlike any I've seen.  But, I haven't seen the angels, and you said they were way more ...okay, let me stop. I'm sorry, I know you won, but how exactly did the battle go??

Creator:  The battle is still going on, but I reset the rules after I quelled the rebellion.  The battle involved high stakes, nothing of which you'd like to get involved in. I knew you would get too curious and distracted at this point, so I am only going to to tell you the point at which the battle stopped. 

Moses:  How did You stop the battle ...did You speak those turncoats out of existence??

Creator:  No, I took away the light.  And I started over, putting together your world, then creating you humans ...in six days time.  What I tell you next, I want you to commit to memory ...and write it down when you get your papyrus. The rest I will give you when you get back, but for now, memorize this: In the beginning I created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.  And My Spirit hovered over the face of the waters.

Moses: That's it??

Creator:  Do you think you can memorize more??

Moses:  No.

Creator:  Well, then that's it for now.  Let Me hear you repeat it ...several times.

Moses:  Okay, so that's how it goes??  So, I will write it down ...and the others are to believe that is the way it began??

Creator:  And much more ...which I'll have you write after you write that part.

Moses:  What if they don't believe me that it is true??

Creator:  If they don't believe you, then they won't believe Me.  I will have John write that.

Moses:  Who is John??

Creator:  He will come much after you die your earthly death. But, you will meet him on a mountain when he is living on earth ...you and Elijah will meet him.

Moses:  Who is Elijah??

Creator:  Yes, a certain curiosity is good ...about good things, so I'm not going to say you are getting distracted again.  You are showing much interest, and I have brought up these discussions ...yet, do you realize that you had told me you can't talk, and I sent you Aaron to help you with Pharaoh. Yet now, you are doing just fine talking with Me.

Moses:  I can talk with You ...because You are a proven friend.  I can tell You anything.  And I want to say, if I lose my temper with the people again, I won't feel hurt if You choose another leader.  I do not always do well, but I will always follow You.  You are a true friend.

Creator:  And you are a friend.

Moses:  Who are those other friends I'm supposed to meet again ...Elijah and John??

Creator:  Just recite the verse again that I want you to memorize. And your first day back you will write that verse, and when you do, I'll give you the next few verses ...starting out with the return of the light.  And after being here with Me, you will understand the difference between one kind of Light and another.
