Druidic Creation*p*I think that in the Vedas it is said that "In the begininning, there was neither being, nor not-being and that the darkness could not be seen for the darkness."  Awareness was an egg that became self aware within this darkness and began to exist within waters that had endless depths.  The first act of being was a single breath and the first act of creation was inner heat.   *p*I find this description of creation to be very personal to me, because I have myself been through such a state of non-being and darkness.  It was a sudden death, so stunning in its completeness, that I was unaware of myself (either as a being or a non-being...I simply was *not*), or the surrounding darkness (which I did not at first perceive, since I was trying to find *me*).  I simply was in a state of not-being.  My first actions were to realize that myself existed. My next actions were to seek out my surroundings, then to locate fellow beings. After that, the continuity of creation resumed, with a constant identification. utilization and understanding of its various parts.  It is my belief, that this reality is the one in which I chose to incorporate, following that particular not-being experience.  *p*I sometimes think this process is the same act of creation that everything experiences when it is created.   Ourselves are the eggs of creation.  We expand outward from a non-existence into an unknown existence, which we re-create in our attempts to recognize order in our surroundings.  Once we have perceived order and recreated it in terms of how we relate to it, we then begin to use the characteristics of our world to express our own will to live and to be.  This causes a reordering and a loss of freedom in the world around us, which itself leads to negative entropy and destruction, repeating the cycle all over again.*p*I believe this process (which I have personally experienced) is what the Druids meant when they told the Romans/Greeks that it was they (The Druids) that had created the world.  We each have created and cataloged our own realities, beginning from an initial state of non-being. We each are the egg which was the Druids' concept of beginnings and birth.  Fire was and is the great destroyer, the consumer of the sacrifice, which eventually became/ will be the destruction of creation, though water at times would/has/will again also prevail, creating the darkness of the depths, a prelude to either re-birth or that moment of non-being. *p*I have reordered and modified your triads of the states of existence:*p*VOID > CHAOS > ORDER>*p*These three each contain their own triads of being and non-being:*p*VOID>birth/creation/activity > *p*CHAOS>identification/perfection/preservation> *p*ORDER>entropy/decay/destruction>*p*The VOID exists between destruction and birth. CHAOS lives between activity and identification.  ORDER is the realization of a need to preserve that which is perfectly itself, while it is also the stopping point of creation and the beginning of entropy and decay, which leads to destruction and the VOID.   *br*These triads are the phases in the lives of humans and worlds, as well as universes and gods. I would not be surprised to see an atom or an electron, even a quark, behaving in this manner. Even civilisations seem to experience this type of metamorphosis.*p*The universe is an egg and we Druids are its creators, though fire and water will, at times, prevail.  There is another life beyond this one and we will create that one as well. *br*
