The process of creation begins with the eternal presence of God, who exists in the divine realm beyond space and time. In the beginning, God first creates the void—a state of pure potentiality, empty of form but ready to receive creation. Into this void, God acts with intentional creativity. With the utterance of the divine Word and the act of naming, God initiates the process of creation, bringing forth order from the formless void. This divine Word is not merely a sound but the expression of God’s will and the first act of differentiation, making distinctions where none existed before.
God’s cosmic essence, which is the singular, monistic substance underlying all reality, possesses dual attributes: thought (mental/spiritual) and extension (physical/material). Through God’s creative act, these attributes unfold in harmony, giving rise to both the spiritual and material dimensions of the cosmos. The initial distinctions and dualities—such as light and darkness, order and chaos—emerge from God’s essence and are named by God, establishing the fundamental categories of existence.
As creation unfolds, synchronicity becomes the principle that weaves together the physical and spiritual realms, ensuring that every event and pattern is meaningful and connected within God’s intentional design. God’s cosmic essence systematically integrates all things, so that every part of the universe is interconnected, reflecting both the unity and diversity of creation.
From this divine foundation, the orders of consciousness arise. First comes the presence of mind itself, followed by the emergence of individual personal consciousness. These individual minds are connected to the collective unconscious, a deeper layer where archetypes—universal patterns and symbols—reside. Synchronicities, or meaningful coincidences, manifest as expressions of the unity between mind and matter, revealing God’s ongoing guidance and purpose.
As the process continues, the material world takes shape: matter, life, physical bodies, and inanimate objects all emerge from the unfolding of God’s cosmic essence. Every aspect of creation, from the smallest particle to the most complex living being, is infused with meaning and participates in the divine order.
In summary, the process of creation in the synthemon worldview begins with God’s creative Word in the void, unfolds through the dual attributes of God’s cosmic essence, and is woven together by synchronicity. This process results in the emergence of mind, personal and collective consciousness, archetypes, meaningful patterns, the material world, life, and all physical forms, each integrated into a purposeful, interconnected whole governed by divine intentionality [1].

"God called the light 'day,' and the darkness he called 'night.'" (Genesis 1:5)
(6) Synchronicity: The Meaningful Weaving of Creation
Synchronicity becomes the principle that weaves together the physical and spiritual realms, ensuring that every event and pattern is meaningful and connected within God’s intentional design [1].
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." (Psalm 19:1)

The presence of mind
Individual personal consciousness
The collective unconscious, where archetypes—universal patterns and symbols—reside
"Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." (Genesis 2:7)
