How many chapters does the book of human life have, and where is its beginning? This is a question we will answer in the Book of the Diagram of Creation. But why the Diagram of Creation? Human life, contrary to what we think, is not linear, and its beginning and end are one. The Book of the Diagram of Creation is about facing the truths that have remained hidden from us due to their simplicity. In the Book of the Diagram of Creation, we first answer the question: What is the starting point of human life?
None of us remember our fetal period, and no one around the world considers those nine months in the womb as part of their life; rather, our criterion for counting the days of our lives is the day we are born. However, in the Book of the Diagram of Creation, we learn a different reality: At no other time have we been as active and striving as during our time in our mother’s womb. The fetus in the womb never stops becoming and developing, constantly completing itself. But what is the purpose of this striving in the early chapter of our creation story?
What purpose do we serve in developing eyes, ears, hands, feet, hearts, and lungs during our fetal period, when none of these organs are useful for a comfortable life in the womb, but rather, as they grow, they make our space tighter and tighter?
In the fetal chapter of the creation story, we are inhabitants of the narrow, dark, and limited environment of the womb, and we can never have a proper understanding of the world and what awaits us in it. However, all our actions indicate preparation for life after birth. In this chapter of the Diagram of Creation, humans are entirely surrendered to the wisdom and will that shapes them with the resources provided by their parents in the womb, ultimately preparing them for life in the world. If we are unaware of the existence of a world outside the womb that is infinitely larger and more beautiful, we will consider all fetal developments and efforts as futile because when we are in the womb, life in the world is unseen to us, just as the realm of the hereafter is hidden from the inhabitants of this world.
