\"Godhood\"<\/a>Every time I tell someone that the Universe couldn’t have created itself so God must exist they always ask,”Who created God?” or “How could God always have existed without a beginning?”\u00a0 When I say “God” I mean the original obviously as we and all other Gods had a beginning and a humble one at that.\u00a0\u00a0 As a sentient being currently stuck in a mode of three dimensional thinking I don’t have the answer but this is the reply I give to those who ask.\u00a0 He’s the only infinite omnipotent being to ever exist and so the only thing to always have existed.\u00a0 The cheat answer is to say he exists outside of time so technically he has no beginning or end.\u00a0 The real answer lies in understanding what lies beyond our three dimensional perceived world and into the great pure thought beyond.\u00a0 Since we cannot even visualize a 4-D object in our mind we could never hope to comprehend how God could have always existed.\u00a0 It’s probably the number one mystery of the Universe and beyond mind boggling.\u00a0 Still\u00a0we\u00a0may understand\u00a0how it’s possible someday\u00a0when we become\u00a0Gods communicating with the original God.<\/p>\n

An updated answer is a compromise between an animate, and inanimate object.\u00a0 Perhaps a vast infinite sea of pure thought waves always existed, and from that by random chance like thoughts coalesced until a sentient being was born.\u00a0 Of course this scenario would mean that God isn’t infinite, and there could be a plethora of other original Gods.\u00a0 Even within the one eternal God this process may have taken place in his mind without him even initiating it.\u00a0\u00a0 Then there would be a class of upper level spontaneously born Gods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
