This is the question all men ask. It is so hard to understand for a man so familiar with the material realm, that a realm exists beyond the human intellect. God exists beyond space and time. There was no beginning and there is no end. There is no space and there is no time, they are part of the physical realm, the realm of creation and that which is created. God came from nowhere, because there is no where and there is no when. There is just the eternal moment, here and now. That’s where God is, He is Here, He is Now. There is no past there is no future the eternal moment is now. It is a state of consciousness beyond creation. It can never be known, for it is unknowable to the intellect, but it can be experienced and felt, when the self disappears, and I am no longer I but I Am Him.
God is a Spirit, a Spirit does not occupy space nor is it bound by time. God is Spirit, God is Divine Consciousness from which Creation flowed and time and space began to facilitate creation. Space and time belong to the realm of the created, they are from the Creator but separate from Him, for He is Beyond them. The Spiritual realm is the realm of the uncreated, the realm of the not yet born, where there is no birth there can be no death. The life force within you, that which animates the flesh is the life force flowing from God into you. That life force is your Spirit and it is who you were meant to be. We are meant to experience life in the Spirit and experience creation from it. We were never meant to be apart of Creation. We were meant to ”Be” in the world but not of it. We were meant to remain non-attached. Free of ambition, want and desire.
All infants suffer some form of the “Breach of the We” in varying degree, and as a result of this separating experience we all form an “I “ with which we identify. This independent “I” is created by the ego, the great deceiver, and we are deceived into the realm of illusion. The infant has lost its sense of belonging, feels vulnerable and alone and desperately seeks comfort in what can be seen and is lured into the material realm, the realm of illusion, the realm of suffering and death.
We must abandon the realm of the familiar for that which is unknown, unknown and unknowable by the ego and its intellect, but Heartfelt by the Spirit within.
