Good OP. Focuses the mind and provides a reason to put ideas together. I tend to believe that it is dark matter that has always existed and is something that scientists know exists because mathematical calculations indicate that it should be there but they don’t know what it is.
So Tammy O’Brien is most likely closer to the truth. It is likely that Dark Matter isn’t just ”out there” far out in the universe but is all around us and is the substance of the spiritual dimension. And if so it is all around us because we are told that the lower spiritual realms exist on the Earth plane and that evil spirits are Earth bound. However there are different spiritual realms that exist’ as if in layers around this planet. Edgar Cayce, the sleeping prophet, who was able to go into a deep sleep and astrally travel to the spirit world to retrieve medical cures, that had been long lost in history, from the Akashic Records, says that the planets are the dwelling places of the spirit World. Because his newly retrieved remedies proved to work as long as the patient followed the procedures described for treatment exactly, and also requested the help in the first place, then this was proof enough to believe what ever else he had to say.
So we know that planets are hostile in all of their variations, to human life, but the physical and the spiritual exist on a different vibration, and are a part of the extensive range of the electromagnetic spectrum. So it would be logical to expect that the physical does not interfere with the spiritual but the mass of each planet provides a gravitational environment. If this did not matter then there would likely be no requirement for the spirit world to exist on planets in the first place. So the environment of planet Earth has to have special conditions to support human life for a particular purpose.
God said that I am that I am, and always existed and it could be argued that what scientists have chosen to call Dark Matter was the predominant form of energy in the never ending void that we call Space and that the Big Bang was a transformational event which created physical matter, directly out of dark matter, upon which physical life as we know it can exist on our own particular planet, Earth.
Over the last week or so just gone, the idea came to me that God had desired to create company for Himself and that the process would be one of replication, similar to what we observe on Earth, except that what we experience here is actually part of this whole process. Many may believe that life on Earth is the be all and end all and that afterwards there is nothing, or on the other hand that if there is belief of an afterlife then it is a nice afterthought, while others may believe that this idea is nothing but nonsense.
The key to this is the knowledge or understanding that there is a pool of pre existing souls who consist of themselves and their soulmate, male and female, who on incarnation into the World do so at the same time but in different locations and the purpose is to develop individual character and form so that they are suitably developed for life in the everlasting spirit world.
I had written something on 26th of April which explains more and had almost forgotten about, which was the result of the feeling that God created for want of company, and this in the end is why the goal of obtaining God’s Divine Love is so important.
