Before you die , at least know how God really is.

Since we are all going to die it would be good to know how our Creator, God, really is so that at least we have done some preparation. In this article I will present my take on this and will leave you to investigate further and verify what you need to verify. 

Firstly how do we know He or It exists? And note that I am using he or it as pronouns for the Creator as the creator of gender has itself no gender in my view. Hence we could even use any pronoun we feel makes best sense to us. Some may feel She is also relevant sometimes ( eg in the context of ‘Mother Nature’). But returning to its existence one simple and powerful argument is that things cannot come from nothing. They must come from something. That something is what we call God. And when we ask well where does God come from the answer is simple. If he came from something then he or it wouldn’t be God. So that means God didn’t come. ie He/It was always there. ie eternal for ever whether from the beginning of time or the end of it. It has this unique nature of being without limits. Not just in time but also in all aspects eg knowledge, wisdom , intelligence, sight, hearing, speech , power, capability , emotion , imagination, life, thought , ideas, personal qualities and so on. Ofcourse It can choose what personal qualities it can keep and choose them for it self. So it can choose to be Just and Kind and Good and Patient and Forbearing and merciful and so on.  It can also choose to be against evil and bad conduct. 

Because It was the first entity no one was before It. So no one created it or put any design or limits on its nature. That is why It is truly unlimited , and especially in power. So it literally CAN do everything !  Hence It is a very unique entity and we can never fully fathom it ( or understand it) because we are limited in nature and it is unlimited in nature.  So throughout eternity we can still be learning more about It and not have completed our understanding and knowledge of It. Amazing !

A second important question is then why did it create us humans? And what is the setup that we are in? Is what is after death nothing or reincarnation or two eternal places of life? Or is it something else that we don’t know yet?  Here we have to rely on any communication that may have come from it I believe. Otherwise how can we tell ? If we take the main religions it seems that this current life is a training ground. Where we have time to make mistakes and learn about life as well as to become better people. Having similar characteristics to the Creator itself ie goodness , kindness , love for others, patience , forbearance , mercy and so on. From the law of karma for example we learn that when doing good it comes back to you and the same for evil. So we choose to behave with goodness and avoid evil conduct. This is training. Also from the communications from It, that you may believe exist , you may learn other things about why we have been created and why we are on this planet and what comes next. There is thus a journey of discovery and investigation that we can embark on that can shed  enlightenment on these issues. How do you want to start this journey ? It may not be an easy road. 

One way is to look at people on the different roads and see where they have got to. Where they have reached. 

All the best
