I have since found a scientist who has a theory on this stuff, and is inline with my understanding. What it states is what I know to be true.
The God Theory
Here's something from the book:
If you think of white light as a metaphor of infinite, formless potential, the colors on a slide or frame of film become a structured reality grounded
in the polarity that comes about through intelligent subtraction from that absolute formless potential. It results from the limitation of the
unlimited. I contend that this metaphor provides a comprehensible theory for the creation of a manifest reality (our universe) from the selective
limitation of infinite potential (God)...
If there exists an absolute realm that consists of infinite potential out of which a created realm of polarity emerges, is there any sensible reason
not to call this "God"? Or to put it frankly, if the absolute is not God, what is it? For our purposes here, I will indentify the Absolute with God.
More precisely I will call the Absolute the Godhead. Applying this new terminology to the optics analogy, we can conclude that our physical universe
comes about when the Godhead selectively limits itself, taking on the role of Creator and manifesting a realm of space and time and, within that
realm, filtering out some of its own infinite potential...
Viewed this way, the process of creation is the exact opposite of making something out of nothing. It is, on the contrary, a filtering process that
makes something our of everything. Creation is not capricious or random addition; it is intelligent and selective subtraction. The implications of
this are profound. If the Absolute in the Godhead, and if creation is the process by which the Godhead filters our parts of its own infinite potential
to manifest a physical reality that supports experience, then the stuff that is left over, the residue of this process, is our physical universe, and
ourselves included. We are nothing less than a part of that Godhead - quite literally.
From the Q&A of the site:
How does consciousness arise out of matter?
Well, actually, I don' believe it does. I think that ultimately it is the other way around: that the origin of this universe and all others that may
exist lies in the will of a supreme consciousness, a consciousness that we all possess, in varying degrees. Somehow that consciousness created a
physical universe. I think we will discover in this century that we shape our reality via consciousness to a much greater degree than is presently
acknowledged. The study of consciousness will, I believe, take center stage in science in the decades ahead, and I do not mean simply neurobiology
explaining, and thereby in effect explaining away, consciousness.
Good stuff.
