God and the Human Circumstance

The question of why does anything exist is perhaps the most profound question. Not the quantum mechanics of an evident universe-but anything at all. Logically nothing should arise from nothing. Of course a void with energy implicitly within it is conjectured in most pre big-bang or before the Universe cosmologies in order to provide an original energy-mass endowment sufficient for a Universe to be and become.

It is difficult to comprehend why God would exist for all of eternity as an uncreated being existing without a beginning. In setting humanity the task of investigating its own exitence and origin, I wonder if The One learns anything about itself from the cosmological investigations of the Socrates, Platos, Newtons, EInsteins, Kants, Quines, Aquinus'and so forth. God is of surpasing excellence however and such questions as occur to humaniity may not be substantive for The One.

The notion that time must exist in a linear way is regarded as just a local experience in light of relativity theory, and it is easier to consider a before or beyond the Univere criterion in which God is not subject to a passage of time yet simply is. It is possible to formulate the paradigm roughly yet not possible to comprehend it at all.

Obviously God is not jut some sort of super human being. Humanity may have a bit of reason-only a bit, and in that regard might reflect the nature of God a little, yet otherwise and especially regarding conduct humanity is fallen and an imperfect form-to use a concept suitable within Plotinus' neoplatonic Enneads.

Why God created anything is a divine mystery. As an omnipotent Being omnipresent and omniscient He knows all things before they are created. Created things as well as space-time are apparent phenomena to those sentient beings viewing from within a given space-time paradigm of the One. That He sent His only begotten Son to bridge the divide that exist between fallen human nature and His perfect being is remarkable. As lost humanity views thing from its own planet and Galaxy within an apparent space-time flowing universe it tends to be entirely ego-centric and even downright wicked extirminating both sects of its own general race, myriad forms of life and even if it will, the planetary ecophere.

Albert Camus in 'The Stranger' (not as good as his book 'The Plague') had his protagoniist vomit on the beach in considering the fact that anything exit at all--the exitential vertigo of a philosophical soul. Human beings exist within the field of biological and cosmic existence that God has willed to be for a time. Perhaps it is a way to experience elements of his own creation from a different perspective. For an omnipotent being all things may be possible that are good. It seems churlish as a finite being to set comprehensively what parameters The One may have. If there is a pervasive monism then The One may know every element of the field of spirit, energy or whatever it is. To create the pluralism within the unified field is perhaps jut one marvelous work of the will of The One.
