Thread: What are your beliefs about God?

God is not a separate entity but rather the totality of all. There is infinity. This infinity is one. It contains all possibilities. In order for infinity to experience itself it must view portions of itself as separate. This creates the manifestation.

Metaphor: if you were to view a huge number of T.V channels all at once, you would get jumbled white noise. Now if you were to view infinite T.V channels, every possibility would occur at the same time and there would be nothing to see. A void, singularity. So to watch a program you have to seclude some channels and focus on others.

Infinity does not experience itself in its complete state, so the illusion of separation is used so that it may create experience.

You can call the complete state "god," but that is just a label.

The separation between manifestation and perception is an illusion. We are the different TV channels, not just the viewers of the TV channels. Without fragmentation of perception, like you said, there would be no manifestation. There would be only a singularity.
