4. The Dissemination of the Divine Essence into Creation

Expressed in another way, we may consider this Essence of the Nothingness from several perspectives:

•  The primordial Source of all life in the universe is called the Supreme Divine Father, the Supreme Being.

•  The transformative act by which the Supreme Being gives rise to life is known as the Divine Mother.

•  The radiant, self-manifestation power of the Supreme Being, capable of creating from the formless Nothingless, is called the Divine Soul of the Supreme Being.

•  The primordial, chaotic energy, before the universe was shaped, is known as the Divine Spirit of the Supreme Being.

These expressions are the language humanity borrows to speak of the aspects of the universal life force, which is an integral entity, encompassing everything from distant galaxies to tiny microorganisms in space or subatomic particles within the material structure.

All things are of one Essence, for when traced to their origin, all creations are derived from the essence of Nothingness, thus maintaining a singular, unified foundation.

Living beings all possess the Buddha Nature because they originate from the Divine Soul of the Supreme Being, meaning within the life of living beings, there exists the Essence of the Supreme Being, which is called the Buddha Nature — all originating from the same source.

This is the miraculous and divine process of the Supreme Being's dissemination to create myriad beings.

Humans are created entities originating from this source, and as such, they share the same essence and composition as a miniature universe.

The three primary components constituting a human being are:

• Divine Soul
• Divine Spirit
• Physical body.
