In the beginning, there was a dot, and within this dot were contained the building blocks of an entire universe, compressed into an infinitely small space. Gradually, over the course of countless aeons, the dot became aware of its surroundings. Or rather -- of it's lack of surroundings, as it was everything that had ever been, compressed into a tiny point, with nothing outside of itself. This awareness of its own condition came upon it gradually, of course, and eventually -- the dot felt around for something to measure itself against, but there was nothing else, and so the dot despaired. In it's despair it began to feel a sense of what we as human beings can only describe as loneliness, and it was from that loneliness that an idea was born.
"I am everything, and there is nothing outside of me."
In its despair it exploded and a brand new universe was born. Gradually, the building blocks of God coalesced into galaxies infinite, and finally into tiny planets, scattered about their infinite suns. Over the millenia that followed, came the seeds of a new kind of awareness, which shared the holographic image of the original loneliness, but also contained a potential fora kind of curiosity about the origins itself. In this curiosity was formed the glue that eventually bound the scattered elements together into something which could look outward from itself, and desire unification, knowing, and togetherness with a greater whole.
We are divided for the sake of love and for a chance at unity. We are here to experience everything the universe has to offer, both "good" and "bad" so that God might know itself when we meet again at the center.
Anything less is too small to be God.
