The Word is God
There is a strange wording in the first verses of the Gospel of John. Even though this is one of the most quoted and examined verses in the entire Bible, I haven’t seen anyone give a sound explanation of the contradiction within it. It reads:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.” John 1:1-2
John doesn’t say specifically that Jesus was the Word, but almost all assume so because the text switches to discussing him. It was written that John the Baptist bore witness to the light “which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” John 1:9
We are told then that this Word and universal light was not only “with God” but also “was God.” Then to add to the confusion we are told that this Word “was in the beginning with God.”
The question then arises: How was the Word with God but also God? Was the Word God or just a being with God, perhaps as a Son of God as portrayed by Jesus?
The confusing doctrine of the Trinity claims to explain this telling us that God is three, but also one. But is there another explanation that actually makes sense that conforms to the actual text?
Perhaps a clue is given in the Dead Sea Scrolls where more complete teachings of the Christian Gnostics is given. The Gnostics were a major branch of Christian thinking for the first three hundred years of the Christian era. Gnosticism was branded as a heresy by many Christian thinkers culminating in the burning and banning of their texts by the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD.
The Gnostics taught that in the beginning we were all with God and shared a oneness with him, but a portion of the lives there broke off and followed a Demiurge, or a false God. This Demiurge actually created the physical universe which became a trap for the many sons of God. To escape we must achieve gnosis, or a knowledge of the true God. This was the realization that came upon Jesus.
A more modern revelation A Course in Miracles teaches a similar idea with some twists that fits in nicely with the first verses of John.
It tells us that in the beginning God creates a vast number of Sons so he wouldn’t be alone. All these sons together were seen as one sonship, for their thinking was very unified. Then came a time that a portion of the sons wanted to use their power God had given them to create a universe of time and space where they could experience limitations such as pain as well as joy. God did not approve of this, but they went ahead in a dream state and made their plan real.
The difference between the Gnostics and the Course teachings is that many Gnostics see the God of this world as a singular evil entity whereas the course sees the Son who created all material things as all of us making a mistake. The mistake was the creation of this world which separates us from heaven.
The common thread then is that the God of this world is not the God who rules where our true home lies, but we are collectively the Son who left the Father’s home as in the parable of the Prodigal Son. The totality of all of us in this material realm is the Son or the God of this world.
The Course teaches that the Father himself has nothing to do with this world. Instead, it is in our hands until we decide to return home.
When we apply the ideas of the Gnostics and A Course in Miracles to the first verses in John we see that they make more sense than the limited orthodox explanations.
“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God…”
The word is the collective Sonship which was with God before this universe of time and space was created. There we lived in a timeless spiritual realm.
“and the Word was God.”
When the Sonship broke off and created the universe of time and space it became a God over all its creation. So, the Sonship was with God, but created a universe outside the realm of heaven and became God to that universe.
“The same was in the beginning with God.”
Even though the Sonship is the only Godly power over this universe, we as Sons were “in the beginning” with our true creator.
Consider this. The Son is considered not only the Word, but “the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.”
So we have the Word, which is the basis of sound and light as the qualities of Sonship.
What do they have in common?
They are both made of wavelengths. After all, light is merely sound speeded up.
That which creates the wavelengths which is beyond time and space represents our true source.
Our true Source lets the Sons play at creating a limited universe out of sound and light, and when they are finished their true home awaits. Gnosis takes us there.

It’s an open question. All your readers insist that what you write is real profound stuff, but I have yet to see any of them tell why it’s useful. What is the use of knowing the true nature of the trinity? Anything?
So what use is this? What does anyone gain from knowing the true nature of the trinity?
