Does it not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many theories out there to describe The Beginning and many of us wonder which is the truth. Do you believe the Universe was created deliberately or just by chance?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One theory is that for no reason, there was a disturbance in the nothing, absolute nothing and nothing else. Again, a disturbance in absolute nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More intriguing is the following, those who came up with this theory had to imagine such a theory, did they not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;IMAGINATION&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go ahead and imagine the best possible version of absolute nothing.&lt;br /&gt;You must come to your conclusion that no matter how accurate your imagination of absolute nothing was, it can never be absolute nothing. Do you understand why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does it take to imagine?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does it not at least take consciousness to do so?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagining absolute nothing can never be alike “true absolute nothing”, for the task of imagining it is already something. Therefore this is much of a hopeless theory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is impossible to imagine absolute nothing, so where did we get this idea from anyway?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To assume that disturbance occurred in the absolute nothing is bogus, since we already created our believes that it is impossible to imagine absolute nothing. This conclusion however triggered me to understand that consciousness and absolute nothing could not exist simultaneously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hence, consciousness has either always been or it somehow came into existence in the absolute nothing and as a result made the absolute nothing disappear (which makes this even more utterly ridiculous).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my believes, it makes it far more probable for consciousness to have always been, it just IS and likewise we are unable to imagine or comprehend how.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;THE CREATOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We could use the Universe to create an understanding of the many questions we have in life. How else can we express ourselves?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the concept of something like the Universe not a necessity to experience any “we” “expression” and “ourselves”? Without the Universe these experiences were not possible, would they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, I reason that the main purpose for the Universe to exist is to experience. To experience “Self”, The Creator. Agreed, experience the continuity of life, reproduction is a necessity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;THE UNIVERSE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Universe is a way, if not THE way, to experience Self to the fullest extent possible. If we accept that the Universe created time and space, we should be able to accept that beyond it these two are nonexistent. The Creator therefore exists beyond time and space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, we have covered the main purpose of the Universe and that it was created deliberately. What more is there to discuss?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;THE TELLERS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many men have come to teach and inspire us for having a bigger purpose to fulfill in life other than gaining knowledge in school and, if part of your society, making money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These men came to tell us about Gods, as others came to inspire us to grow Spiritually so that one day we could become One with God the creator, or any other name you wish to give these believes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these and others I have left out are actually parts of the bigger purpose and the bigger purpose remains, to experience Self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note that my intention is not to defy the existence of God, as is portrayed in the Bible, neither to defy Allah and other religious Gods. Very much on the contrary, my intention is to support the existence of these Gods to a certain extent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;THE GODS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very little readings and understanding do I have about God as written about in the Bible and other Gods but I am confident about expressing myself regarding it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All that we are and experience finds its source from within. Some people reach out their hands up high as they close their eyes. Though these hands may reach away from their bodies, you have to come from within to go “out there”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have to pray “from the heart” to God, do you not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where do you have your feelings and emotions for God? Are they outside of you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All comes from within, as in return comes from your source, The Creator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who believe in God and give their hearts or life to Him, do experience  “wonders of God”. They become “touched” and may feel their selves to be on higher grounds. It does not matter if it were to be an illusion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you think it was pure coincidence for atheists, who has no sense of high self-esteem, to find themselves without these Godly blessings and such?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or did you believe that they do not because God DOES exist and He needs you to accept Him first before He will take you as His child and embrace you with His Almighty blessings?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can it be that these people feel that God exists and delivers miracles and blessings in their lives?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is because they choose for it to be so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;MAKING CHOICES&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A choice can only be made if it comes part of your believe-system. Hence, you cannot choose to accept God when you do not believe, unfortunately. Having Faith in a God is therefore a very powerful system to experience a “better” life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An atheist has to understand that “blessings” are created by themselves, so that they too may experience a similar life, or even better, to those of “children from God”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is easier said than done, because those with Faith in God have an illusionary advantage for not needing good self-esteem. All they need is a believe that there is “something else” called God and that He will do all the hard work for them, if…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LIVE BY THE RULES…OR ELSE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my believes there are no rules for us to obey. Does this mean we are free to do whatever we like and not be punished for after death?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In case you would like to have my opinion on it…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are no punishments in the “afterlife”, unless you believe differently of course. When you do believe in punishments or Hell, you may actually go to such a place. Simply because you created it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No rules, no punishments, only consequences. An action must be followed by a reaction, that is one of our Universal laws. However, my choice of words like “consequence” does not function as a substitute for “punishment”. A punishment is subjective and man-made, whereas a “consequence” is not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;RIGHT OR WRONG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel that the beauty of the Universe lies in its opposites. Can upwards exist without downwards? Can left be without right? Hot without cold?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have an idea of what is wrong, because we have an idea of what is right. We feel pleasure as we feel the opposite. These are given to us, free of charge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Government created their laws and without these it would mean certain disaster on Earth. Too many of us blame each other for polluting the Earth, for much of our temporary secondary needs. We can make a difference, we shout and proclaim, but can we really?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;AN UNFAIR WORLD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is Earth doomed to fail?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will we ever come to peace and unity and Heal The World as it once must have been?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earth is but a planet among countless of others. Sure, we can make a change, we do make a difference. Are we not playful and patient with our children, to have their first walk? Do we blame our dogs for not speaking our language?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As individuals we may be blamed for, but it will never be The Creator that will “point its finger” at us. We do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  bigger picture is the planet where life exists, as ours is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like we have our understanding for certain things to await, like planting a seed, the Universe has “its understanding”. Forget not the relativity of the Universe, for as there are planets that will flourish with blissful peace and harmony, there are planets of different energies.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6694279935375054588-4886788796335281578?l=creationofus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://creationofus.blogspot.com/feeds/4886788796335281578/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://creationofus.blogspot.com/2010/01/bare-with-me-on-this.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6694279935375054588/posts/default/4886788796335281578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6694279935375054588/posts/default/4886788796335281578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://creationofus.blogspot.com/2010/01/bare-with-me-on-this.html' title='Bare with me on this...'/><author><name>Elconscious</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00431441947919941474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7uApvshpoEQ/SsD1jz4-q1I/AAAAAAAAAAM/wFx_0dxY79A/S220/Fantasy.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694279935375054588.post-1024105970517037360</id><published>2009-09-30T20:51:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-30T20:56:23.915+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='understanding'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='universe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='us'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='book'/><title type='text'>News</title><content type='html'>At the moment I am working on a book about the 'Understanding of the Universe'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As soon as I have a first version finished I will inform on this blog how to get yourself a copy of it.
