“The river of energy and life is a continuous outpouring from the Deities, the universal and united stream of Paradise force going forth to all space. This divine energy pervades all creation.” (42:1.5)
The “river of energy and life” in this verse refers to the continuous outpouring of divine energy from the Deities. This flow of energy as a universal and united stream that originates from Paradise, a spiritual realm often associated with the dwelling place of God. The term “river” refers to a dynamic and ever-flowing nature; it’s not static but it’s constantly in motion. The divine energy is fundamental to the functioning and existence of all creation, as it permeates and pervades everything in the cosmos.
In this verse we can see the all-encompassing nature of the energy as it reaches all corners of space. No part of the universe is devoid of this divine force, thus it’s nature is universal. In this, we can see the divine energy is intimately connected to life itself. This means it is a vitalizing and animating energy that sustains and nurtures life in all its forms. In this sense, the life force or the spiritual energy gives rise to and sustains the existence of living beings.
