Was there something before the original thought? My take on the creation is that the Infinite Creator is the same as the original thought. However I also believe what Ra says here, that first there was infinity:
13.5 Questioner: Thank you. Can you tell me of the earliest, first known thing in the creation?
Ra: I am Ra. The first known thing in the creation is infinity. The infinity is creation.
13.6 Questioner: From this infinity then must have come what we experience as creation. What was the next step or the next evolvement?
Ra: I am Ra. Infinity became aware. This was the next step.
13.7 Questioner: After this, what happened?
Ra: Awareness led to the focus of infinity into infinite energy. You have called this by various vibrational sound complexes, the most common to your ears being “Logos” or “Love.” The Creator is the focusing of infinity as an aware or conscious principle called by us as closely as we can create understanding/learning in your language, intelligent infinity.
The first thing in creation being infinity sounds similar to my idea of Indra’s net being the foundation of reality:
"Francis H. Cook describes Indra’s net thus:
Far away in the heavenly abode of the great god Indra, there is a wonderful net which has been hung by some cunning artificer in such a manner that it stretches out infinitely in all directions. In accordance with the extravagant tastes of deities, the artificer has hung a single glittering jewel in each “eye” of the net, and since the net itself is infinite in dimension, the jewels are infinite in number. There hang the jewels, glittering “like” stars in the first magnitude, a wonderful sight to behold. If we now arbitrarily select one of these jewels for inspection and look closely at it, we will discover that in its polished surface there are reflected all the other jewels in the net, infinite in number. Not only that, but each of the jewels reflected in this one jewel is also reflecting all the other jewels, so that there is an infinite reflecting process occurring.[6]" - Wikipedia
The “jewels” can be replaced by the mathematical concept of points, and the reflections replaced by lines. And the points can be seen as connection points which are nothing in themselves. And the lines can be thought of as relations. And since the reflections never end since one reflection leads to new reflections, infinity going on expanding!
Curiously Ra doesn’t mention the original thought here. Ra uses the term awareness. And can there be a thought without awareness? Maybe not! And then the awareness of the original Logos is the same as the original thought. That’s my guess at the moment.
