Chapter 1, section 2 of Exposition of the Divine Principle is so unlike any other section! It is loaded with abstract underlying dynamics to existence, life and well-being. It is by far the largest PowerPoint section in the DP Outreach PowerPoint series to be released soon.
This poses a challenge for both the artist and the educator. Can this material be recognized as relevant to every day life? And if Universal Prime Energy is so important, then why is it only mentioned here in this section?

A lot of my attention this past month has been redesigning videos from this section. This is part of a larger endeavor - to create a transcript of each section to include in the DP Outreach Powerpoint discs.
Newly Revised Videos 9 & 10
One of my personal delights for redesigning the DP information in section 2 was expanding the presence of Universal Prime Energy in videos 8, 9 & 10.
Previously, UPE was featured in video 6 only.
Now that all of Part 1 is finished, I can go back and include new images created later or include ideas that will only be formally introduced later. For example, the two forces within God are shown in videos 9 & 10. These two forces are the Power of Love and the Force of the Principle. They are artistically visualized as the orange and blue 'swooshes.'
Video 10 almost creates a Four Position Foundation but I resisted creating one since the next video formally introduces it.
The music used in video 9 is called "the Waterwheel" by John Adorney.Now that all of Part 1 is finished, I can go back and include new images created later or include ideas that will only be formally introduced later.

In the PowerPoint creation of video 9 (above), this particular slide had over 3000 pieces compiled into more than 2200 groups!
What's that Blue 'Swoosh' for?
The blue 'swoosh' is explained well in Video 40. Having said that, it appears in many videos before number 40. It looks like some kind of wind or aurora. There is a blue swoosh and an orange one. The Blue swoosh represents the Power of the Principle. The orange swoosh represents the Force of Love.
The blue 'swoosh' (Power of the Principle) is often used in the backgrounds of the images. Artistically speaking, the color blue is passive and supportive and does not compete with the primary images. The more intense orange Love 'swoosh' is used less often for artistic reasons because its color is too strong and competes for the eye's attention.

Wow, Michael, this is incredible work, so valuable and really needed! Thank you, a thousand times, thank you. I find it so challenging to be able to teach DP these days and don't understand why more materials have not been forthcoming. Yours are so cutting edge. God bless
