Hi Blocula,
When I was a little girl, I used to think about this the same way too--- and because I was still a child, I didn't get too hung up on the intellectual
part of it. I would simply 'see' how there had to be something on the other side...but that if you reached the end of that, and climbed over it,
there must be something, there cannot be nothing--- Ok, so one day it hit me so strong and the Wonder of It has never left me ever since--- I realized
that that there had to be "something" that came from no-thing--- and that had to be for certain, because its impossible to have any thing without it
comeing from something--- so this Original Source is sourceless, this First Cause, is causeless, This First Isness, had no beginning, and that means
it has no end (it could not end if it did not begin) So, suddenly in great Wonder I realized that God is the name for this Source that has no source
to It----and "God" is just a name for this extraordinary impossible mystery that we cannot grasp. Yet that Source that has no source must, by all
means, be All That Is. This is why we came up with this idea of "God" in the first place, although that word has gotten really messed up, like
people think God is big ruler on a cloud...But, no not at all, God is more like this Mystery that is even beyond our ability to comprehend, that is
what makes it God as it is so scared and unbelievable and Awe Inspiring---My good friend,William Samuel, wrote a lot about metaphysical things, and he
called this Uncaused cause "Godhead All" meaning that everything comes from Its Isness, Its Being, and everything is included within Its Being, and
there nothing out side of this Being because this Isness has Always Been, and cannot go anywhere else, there is no other Where of It, It is the
Whereness of Being ---and there is no other, no otherness to Its ALL encompassing totality---It IS Every thing, and It is beyond even infinite---It
is beyond anything and everything we could ever think or imagine and YET all we think and imagine is happening 'because' of this Beingness that has no
beginning and no end and Is All That Is--- It cannot have 'otherness' because It is the only thing that really exists and Its exists AS everything and
all the universes, and all the bubbles colliding and all the universes of other dimensions and it includes time and space and past and future of but
none of things are really 'any thing' real, because nothing can 'compete' with Something that is All and Something that no one can ever touch or
comprehend or know--- Ok, I am exhausted now too! Yikes! What a great thread, I thought I was the only one who ever thought about all that---But, as
I say, if you think about REALITY as Godhead All, then it helps to 'see' that God is just another name for ONE Without Another---
Some believe it is Infinite Divine Mind, or One Consciousness That One is All and Always was and Always will be.
Therefore, its quite lovely too, because God is the Warp and Woof of everything, we don't have much to worry about or be afraid of!! Its very cool to
see this! The Life becomes joyful and rich and wondrous and meaningful in very deep incomprehensible ways--- I am just sort of always delighted
with Life and I don't too concerned with stuff----I mean this Godhead Being is really Love in the Ultimate way, because really It is All One, Single,
Alone, Only, Total, Whole, Complete In Is Beingness That Is the Isness of All That Is.
Even a big bang has to come from Something that "lights the fuse" --- so There IS Something without a source and I call it God. The ancients used to
wonder these things too, and they called it The Ineffable---That is a great name for "God" or Totality or That Which Is.
That's my take on it! Love, SweetMystery
