[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 198487, member: 18224"] I just want to throw in my two cents... God is formless. But without form, and yet containing all form. Nirgun / Sargun at the time time. Both Creator and Creation itself. It's seems like an impossible concept to grasp... but really it's not. (Just think of a dreamworld you create in your mind at night... you are the creator of the dream, and the dream itself, and all characters within it at the same time) I think a lot of people equate formless in an atheistic sense... as in there is no creator who is conscious of creation. Those who fall into the atheistic thinking take it to mean the universe itself, with no creative guidance as to how its being created. It just always was... and things happened just... well because they did. I personally believe this thinking is wrong... it's like saying that we are all accidents, the planets and galaxies were accidents born of chaos, the rules to the universe somehow wrote themselves by accident.... but I am pretty sure I read in Gurbani where it says we were given this life not by accident, but on purpose.... and that this life was given to us specifically as our time to meet the creator. 'Creator' implies creativity... creativity requires thought / planning... or else nothing would have been set into motion... If something just 'happened' then it's not a creation... it's an accident. Rules imply a rule maker... So somewhere, nowhere, and yet everywhere, exists a formless Creator who contemplated (thought) creation... For me, it's easy for me to envision how can Waheguru Ji be both creator and creation... be formless and yet contain all form... when instead of looking only at the physical... look even deeper, particles dissolve into smaller particles, which are 99.9999% empty space held together by invisible force (electromagnetic fields) and then the smallest of subatomic particles observed seemingly disappear and reappear into and out of thin air - randomly! Electrons can behave as both a wave and a particle... so how does this have anything to do with the subject? Because it means the base of our reality is not matter as we experience it... but pure energy. Even time in the quantum state does not exist as linear... and certain particles can time travel! Others can exist in two places at once, meaning space/time construct as we know it really IS an illusion. So what's left then??? Energy... energy is frequency... frequency is vibration and everything in the universe is basically energy vibrating at different frequencies. (heat, light, sound, matter, energy, magnetism, electricity, etc). So this energy that exists outside of the construct of space and time as we know it... everything must be arising out that base energy through vibration at different frequencies. (Cosmic Vibration, Celestial Sound / Vibrations - sound familiar?) And this energy MUST have creative potential. Creative potential and INTENT. For me, its easy... I truly believe the Universal Field talked about in science is consciousness. It just fits... it explains how everything is really one, how we are all connected, consciousness is formless, and exists within everything (yes some even say minerals possess a dormant kind of consciousness, also plants, the animals... and well, everything outside of those categories are made up of those things).

(double slit experiment) It also explains how / why we would be able to go within our own mind / consciousness to find the divine within. Of course I am not saying that Universal consciousness would be anywhere limited like our own. But just that the creator must be aware of its own creation. Of course I could also be out in left field but it just makes so much more sense to me than a energy without intent or thought or creative potential. [/QUOTE]
