If a God or Ultimate Reality exists, a God or Ultimate Reality that is one, infinite, and indivisible, a God or Ultimate Reality that is not contingent on anything outside Itself, how do we arrive at the many? What is our place in the scheme of things?
Although there is no substantial evidence, there seems to be no other way to proceed than to formulate a conceptual model of existence arising and evolving from a primordial dualization in the house of dynamic Being. Out of all the fundamental possibilities or forces, the behavior-potential of consciousness as one of the ground conditions is essential to a comprehensive understanding of the universe and our place in it. Therefore, consciousness is postulated as intrinsic to the very Nature of Being itself. And if consciousness is in Its Nature, then dynamic self-reflection is Its Experience. However, such a concept requires that we postulate MIND as the principle unifying the ever-widening divergence of the universe manifestations of the original monistic I AM.
Creatorship can hardly be an attribute of such a God, but must be the aggregate of its acting nature. And we can infer from the nature of the universe that Its purpose is not concerned with human individuality, but to satisfy an intrinsic yearning for diversity and intimate companionship. As a result of that yearning, the knowledge that I am, am not, and yet am that which is in all things is, potentially, an experiential reality.
