Since the Universe couldn&#8217;t create itself or an inanimate object couldn&#8217;t create itself then I believe an intelligence had to always exist to eternity into the past. We can of course use the outside of time theory to explain this but really our three dimensional minds can&#8217;t comprehend how this could be possible. The bottom line is something can&#8217;t come from nothing so something had to always have existed and it must be a consciousness of some type.<\/p>\n<p>We assume he existed in his current adult like consciousness although he must learn more things with every thought, and Universe he creates within his mind that contains everything. Along with every persons thoughts and what they create as well. However is there a chance he perhaps didn&#8217;t always exist? That perhaps the first thing to exist in all of reality was an infinite unorganized jumble of pure thoughts. Thoughts that slowly grew together until they formed an intelligent consciousness. Although such a collection of unconscious thoughts might be considered an inanimate object like a computer database.<\/p>\n<p>If he were to have a childhood then that would be the closest thing. An infinite conscious intelligence that evolved from a pool of pure thought that may or may not\u00a0have always existed.\u00a0 Just like we ask how could God have always existed we would ask how a collection of pure thought could have always existed.\u00a0 I mean it&#8217;s amazing anything exists.\u00a0 This should just be a dark void of nothingness.\u00a0 Perhaps the thoughts of God and every conscious being in the future are so powerful that they some how always existed as a collective pool of pure proto-thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I speak of God I mean the one original eternal God who always existed before anything else existed.
