Why try to replace the infinite mystery of God with a self-projected delusion? Why does a mere toad want to rule the roost, that's what I'd like to kNow..
Why come to this forum if you have already decided you are cemented in religious dogmas. Why does god want to rule the roost. Why not let people find there own spirituality.
Please don´t get me started on delusion, presuming you believe everything in that book.
Please don't assume you know what I mean by the infinite mystery of God aka the Godhead. It's as scientific as it is theological, and imho, the only framework by which a person these days, may throw off the burdens of the "massman" and in the words of Carl Jung, re-enter the fray with our entire being, standing tall relative to the whole of all creation, as intended. It takes courage to try to come to grips with these things, and to take one's place "at the table" so to speak, and accept an inheritance prepared for us from the time before time as the crowning glory at the leading edge of an eternal cosmic evolutionary process. Don't be small-minded or presumptuous as to another's conceptualization, and whatever works, if it works, what's it to you? But you see, for those among us who've been given everything, what are we to do but to share willingly, from our overflowing storehouse of treasure.
You won't find me shouting out catcalls from a small hole girded 'round with a preconscieved contemptuous bais prior to investigation. Instead I say to you, come on out of there and play, since our true nature of absolute, unfettered freedom to be freely self expressed, and wholly authentic, with the soul shining brightly.

There's a great mystery, and it's not meant to be "solved" and call it whatever you like, but we are in it, and in many ways, as self-consciously aware beings, we ARE it.
Research "monistic idealism" for more in terms of the modern scientific paradigm supporting this position, and save the small-minded and pathetic jibes for someone else, because it does us both an injustice ASSUME-ing.

what if we are there? and could not be with out it?
we; you and I,, are 2 smidgens out of eternal infinity ^3424325463543
youve seen the photos of a galaxy, you know there are billions and billions of them, you know there are billions of humans on this planet and trillions of life forms,,
why do you think we are not here? or the universe is not what it is?

According to Grigor Aslanyan the cosmos is likely a torus: www.cosmosmagazine.com...
It is believed the dimensions of a Torus could be arranged in 3 different variations.
a. Infinite in 1 dimension and finite in 2.
b. Finite in 1 dimension and Infinite in 2.
c. Finite in all 3

I will acknowledge that if the nature of the universe is that of a type of non-local, holographic informational processing, cosmological unity, wherein conscioueness and not matter is primary (monistic idealism), that it and we are by far more mysterious than we've previously even begun to imagine. That said I do know that my own mind isn't projecting stars, planets and galaxies I've never seen, or the terrain of Mars a rover has not yet tread upon, and that the moon is still there even when I'm not looking at it.
So I prefer to think of it like this. We are a small dot or sphere within an infinitely larger sphere which invites our exploration, whether in outer space or innerspace.
But the great truth of the ages, it involves a first cause within the evolutionary sphere of a first/last cause, and from that new beginning, everything starts to look and feel different, in a way that cannot be expressed in words.
