[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 178496, member: 18224"] I always love the question about God being separate from creation!!! [COLOR="Blue"]The way I think of creation: This world is an illusion. It's real certainly to us while we are immersed within it and we are bound by its rules while here, however when we are immersed within our dreams at night, those too are certainly just as real to us. I liken this reality to a dream, only this is the dream of the creator.[/COLOR] [COLOR="Purple"][/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]If it is difficult to understand how this world could be a dream, imagine the void, at the beginning and all that exists and ever did exist was the creator, God. Nearly ALL religions speak of the Universe being created by a word or sound (Sikhi refers to Celestial music / sound-currents)... words = sound, sound = frequency / vibration, light = vibration, electromagnetic activity = vibration, ALL matter is basically energy at a slow vibration. So we know that for the entire Universe the basis is pure frequency. Thoughts too are pure frequency... in our case, in the form of brainwaves... So if this is the dream of the creator, then it's easy to understand how the creator could be both outside the dream (as the dreamer) and playing all the characters (us) within the dream, and also all of the entire dream itself. Just as when you dream at night, you exist outside of your dream, and also within it, and everything (even inanimate objects) are also really you - everything = your thoughts, again pure frequency / vibration. In fact some religions and mystical traditions have a saying "As above, so below" (Emerald Tablet of Hermes) illustrating the fact that we (the below) also contain this creative potential (as the creator above). We have even been referred to as the "little dreamers within the big dream" in an article called "The Sleeper Awakens" by an author named Dr. Asoka Selvarajah ph.d (it's a really great article I think!) here's the link: [url]http://www.mystic-mouse.co.uk/Wisdom_Texts/Mystic_Visions/Reality.htm[/url] [/COLOR] [COLOR="Purple"] [/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]The creation is born of God, and God is within the creation. So from the above you can see that everything is really ONE,... the creator. The separateness of us and everything around us, is the illusion. There really is only ONE universal consciousness in existence. We are not separate from it. We are all ONE. So we are all connected at a very deep level, and most never realize this fact, when they do hurtful things to others, or even the environment, animals etc. Everything is ONE. Further to the above:[/COLOR] [COLOR="Purple"][/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]From the above, you can see that the creator (God) is the director of the play (this reality) and all the characters (us) but when the play ends (this reality ends) and he takes off all the costumes (end of separateness) he is only ONE, and in reality there only ever was the ONE, it's just our perspective that we are separate...that's the illusion. Just as in your dreams at night all the characters are really you, even if you only experience the dream from the vantage point of one character. So in summary, it's very easy for me to see and understand how the creator can be both outside of creation and how the creator can be within all of the creation at the same time. In fact, I think it would be more difficult to explain how creation could be completely separate from the creator! Since the creator is unknowable, and described as 'formless' in most religions, ask yourself what tools would a creative, formless being of pure Universal consciousness have, in order to create??? I believe the answer is consciousness itself - pure thought. I am sure my take on this will be pulled apart by some, but I came to this conclusion through noticing the similarities between many different religions on this matter. And I just deeply feel like everything is connected and is ONE and that there really is no separateness at all. [/COLOR] Oh and ChazSingh Ji... You and I think alike! sonadmin Ji: The video Chazsingh Ji posted gets into what I was trying to explain before about subatomic particles being affected by a conscious observer, in another thread.
