In the beginning God created.

That is it:  God created a new world, a physical world, into which God poured the "Image of God".  We see God in everything as everything was created to reflect the creator and invite the created to reflect back to the creator.

God is love.  At the core of who God is there are two internal realities which are perfect peace and perfect love.  Peace that is undisturbed and unthreatened by anything and Love that is agenda free and accepting of everything.

An ancient Native American portrait of the birth of earth from the maternal archetype of God pictures a woman giving birth from her uterus to earth.  The uterus of love is God's heart of love, giving birth to the world as if God's internal creative birthing was from the heart-shaped courage to the heart shaped void in Creation until that heart is open to the heart of God.  This heart to heart is the work of spiritual reality in the human reality of the physical world.

I met a woman who has a heart shaped uterus whose story had me imagine that that was the creation epic.  God's heart shaped uterus created the world with a core heart in need of connection to the spiritual reality beyond the physical.

God did not create the world because he needed to be loved. God created the world because she was so of love, so pregnant with Love that that love naturally produced a creation with the capacity to love and be loved.  God gave the internal experience of peace and love into a creation in the hopes that that creation would find the secret of "peace and love".  The secret is there needs to be no effort to reach up or out for love but to look inward for the love that is already there and the peace that passes human understanding.  Both the elements of love and peace are inherent in the "image of God" in all of us.

We all have parts that feel loving, that feel unloveable, that feel undeserving of love, that feel unloved.
God has no unloved, unloveable, and unloving part for God is the uterus that birthed our existence.  Nothing can separate us form the love of God in us except our burdens of unloved, unloveable, and unloving parts that betray our internal and eternal love and peace.

Our hearts are shaped after the heart of God that is in us to love, be loving, be loved, and know lovableness.  The universe is the uterus of God's heart, ever expanding and ever birthing the experience and the expression of Love.

Jesus said, "I tell you this solemn truth, unless a person is born from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.  Nicodemus, "I cannot enter into my mother's womb and be born a second time, can I?  Jesus answered, (Yes you can!) "I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born of water and spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God" (John 3:3-5).   Until you see the kingdom of God in you you can not enter the Kingdom of God.  Unless the Kingdom of God in you is seen and experienced inside you can not live or enter the Kingdom of GOd outside of you.  It is living form the inside out.  When we are born physically the water that envelops the uterus breaks and physical life flows out the birth canal.  Our spiritual beings pass through the "birth canal" of our physical experiences and realize our spiritual essence as physical makes room for the spiritual flow of life, love and peace.  The physical womb gives birth to physical beings and our spiritual womb births our connection to the Spirit of love and peace.
We are spiritual beings have a physical experience.  Our physical experience causes our protective system to develop parts with burdens and beliefs that betray our fundamental spiritual essence.  As we learn to lay aside every part that so easily besets us we learn to run and walk with patience the course laid before us in the freedom of Peace and Love (Hebrews 12:2) full of truth and grace (John 1:14).

Rephrasing Jesus solemn truth: "unless you become as an new born and enter into the womb of love and be born in a new and different way, you cannot see clearly the kingdom of heaven with in you, around you, and enter the Kingdom of God above you."- John 3:3-5
