Creation
I've done this in the form of a path working, so as you read it you will be taking the role of an observer.
You are floating in what would be called nothing, if there was something to compare it against. You are aware of energy being created and destroyed around you, but there is nothing lasting. Then something catches your attention, in all the flux something has lasted, so you turn your attention to this thing to find out what has happened.
You see that a special thought concept has been created, existance, and as you observe you see that other though concepts are started to latch on to it and an awareness seems to be growing around it. As you observe, expecting it to be destroyed by the flux, it starts to grow, and become more stable. Eventually it starts to generate it's own thought concepts some of which are expelled into the nothing. Some of these disappear and others seem to stick around.
Again intrested, you briefly turn your attention to these other proto-awarenesses. As you expected these are more existance concepts, and yes they are also attracting other though concepts and developing awarenesses. Turning your attention back to the first one you spotted you see that it still seems to be generating thought concepts but less and less of them are... escaping? As you watch it slowly becomes aware of itself you have to wonder if this is how you started your existance.
You eventually notice that there are no more thought concepts coming out of this one. As you observe this awareness become more aware of itself and it's surroundings, it notices the other awarenesses. After a time you notice that it seems to be helping the other awarenesses to achieve self containment and full awareness. You also notice that there are no more free thought concepts being produced. The next thing you notice is that the nothing has become quiet, still, and that the amount of flux being created and destroyed has reduced to the point where this can now be considered nothing.
Turning your attention back to the awarenesses you immediately see that they have done something you didn't expect. They have created some new energy that wasn't there before. Over time you see them experimenting with the energy and creating more as the existing energy is insufficent to their needs. You also notice that at the beginning the energy they stopped experimenting with was prone to be destroyed while now it seems to be sticking around.
As you watch they find out how to shape the energy into different forms and hold it there, however as soon as their attention is diverted it starts to lose it's shape. Then one of them discovers how to transform the energy into a form that doesn't lose it's shape when they stop working with it. Soon after this they discover how to move themselves into the “hard” shapes they have formed and give them motion.
Shortly after that one of them discovers how to create a third kind of energy, this energy is like their own however on closer inspection the core concept of existance doesn't seem to be present in these energy forms, unlike the awarenesses that are creating them. This is rather neatly demonstrated when one of the awarenesses changes the energy form into a hard form. After experimenting for a while they find they can put these energy forms into the hard forms and the energy forms can move them around as they could themselves. After a while they seem to come to a decision to see what it is like to be one of those energy forms, with no awareness of the energy around them and limited by the form they are wearing, so they gather up all of the energy around and put it into 2 forms, one form is made up of energy and hard energy and will be used to make the forms that the second form will produce. This form is an energy form made of distinct energy forms that will split off smaller energy forms to put into the forms that come out. It will also bring those forms back into itself when the hard forms they are wearing fall apart and need to be rebuilt. Then one by one they block of their knowledge and join the energy form mass to experience what they experience. All except 1, that stays apart to watch and keep things running properly.
