If you were the only one existing & knew how to Create, what would you Create & why?

1/. Suppose you are all alone in darkness, and are only aware of the presence of yourself, in a non-dimensional form, and the Darkness around you, what would you do?

2/. Would exploring the existence of yourself (non-dimensional), be your first task? Or would you choose another path?

3/. If you had the knowledge to Create, what would be the first thing you would Create and why?

For some reason your post made me think of the Dune novels.... I would create a world that could surprise me.


Paul Atreides: I meddled in the future, in all possible futures, trying to create them. Instead they created me... and I became trapped by it.

Leto: To know the future is to be trapped by it, Grandmother. My father knew it but he couldn't escape it. I want more freedom than that! A universe of surprises, that is what I pray for.

I would definitely explore my inner self first, the reason being there is nothing else and I would want to create a base line for everything next. I would have a problem creating life-forms unless they were to serve a purpose, what purpose? I don't know. I would be able to create virtual scenarios, worlds, beings - anything, so I would. Since I would be omnipotent in this situation, I can't begin to answer what I would be doing in the form I am right now. I often wonder what life would be like in the other dimensions, to see time as a expandable fixed point instead unilinear like we humans perceive. 11 dimensional theory is hard to wrap your mind around but once you get it, 'all possibilities are possible'.

In order to know oneself, one must have a means by which to compare oneself.

In order to understand oneself, one must have means to observe something similar in every possible situation.

Cogito, ergo sum is not enough when Nosce te ipsum is far greater an urge.

Therefore, I would create in my own image and passively observe in order to understand and in order to know myself, my nature, and my potential.

If I was the only thing in existence, I don't see where I'd be compelled to create anything. I would be whole, and complete. Creation, after all, is dividing. It separates one thing from another. I wouldn't need to do that. I'd have no motivation.

I'd create an "other". A beloved.

I'd create the most powerful illusion that I could that this other and I did not know that we were the same being.

Because then I would not be alone.

And I'd give this "other" all the power I have to create. Otherwise I'd have power that the beloved other didn't have. That would be unbalanced. A bit like being a dictator. Not very loving. So I'd make the other an omnipotent creator too.

And then we could each create as many other "others" as we liked. All of them having power of creation/ free will etc. So that we could experience ourself and discover ourself (the singular tense is intended) in as many realities doing as many things as is possible. So that we can discover ourself as truly infinite through experiencing every limited and finite experience that we can.

The one as the many who are one, sort of a thing.

Imagine that... :-)

I would create an independent investigation into 9/11. Then a judge and jury.

I'd create a multidimensional reality and leave my creations to do their thing.. bigger and better things, hey? I might check up on them out of interest, but far be it from I to judge my children. ^_0

I'd create a Hooters full of spicy chicken wings haha

Not sure how a non dimensional form could experience "Darkness"..

2/. Would exploring the existence of yourself (non-dimensional), be your first task? Or would you choose another path?

again, i think we need to understand what this even means.

3/. If you had the knowledge to Create, what would be the first thing you would Create and why?

That's easy.. I'd create little people on a little planet so they could worship me as their one and only creator

b

I would create the musical scale without the the hindrance of the Pythagorean comma.

But then I'd have to rewrite mathematics too

Your answer is along my line of thoughts....

I think that the exploring of the self, would be the most logical starting point.

Have you ever considered the possibility that both “Darkness” and the “Self” might be both made up of two sub-components?

1. Could Darkness be a mixture of two components?

2. If the Self is Aware, then does it consist of two components also?

If you were the only thing in existence you'd be All One, or Alone. The one thing that cannot be experienced is the experience of not being alone. An experience of illusive seperation is the closest One can get to experience 'Other'.


Edit: An to answer the OP: I created this universe/reality

Steampunk.

I would create a steampunk world.

I'd make a fantasy world that is sort of mixture of Narnia, Oz, Pandora, Fantasia, and every other type of fantasy land I've ever read about. There would be adult themes as well and some danger, but heroes would be appointed by me to deal with danger in the nick of time and good would generally always win. There would be epic battles and romance and adventure for me to watch and enjoy.

I know what I would NOT create .... the stink'n RHINO VIRUS.

Seriously .. what the heck is it good for? It sucks. It makes people miserable. It makes people spend money on useless OTC meds. It wastes time, money, and resources. It leads to other illness' that are even worse. It serves no purpose except to vex humanity. UGH

great question!

i would create Kate Bush circa 1980 and we'd sing and dance and fly with the birds over the sunset. all of which she'd help me create.

love! Because things tend to grow better within it.

Could Darkness not be described as both Becoming and Nothing? Betwixt the two it seems to provide grounds for infinite possibilities? The synthesis of Conscious and Unconscious seems to conjure the image of a spark, perhaps acting in the vacuum of Darkness' becoming?

Something to think about, thank you.

Perhaps this is why there are old paintings, showing the Carpenter called Jesus today, holding a very, very dimly lit lantern in a dark garden ?

Just interested...
What do you know about the subject of OBE's, and have you ever experienced one or more OBE's? (most have experienced an OBE or OBE's at some time in their lives.)

I prefer to call these ISE's "In Soul Experiences" rather than OBE's as all is experienced by our LIFE or Mind INSIDE the Soul.

We all have a Copy of The "ALL" in our Soul, retained in Libraries in the form of Program Books (hence the books in Heaven referred to in The Revelation of Jesus Christ) which can be accessed if we learn to use our Soul and its Operating System.
It is possible for anyone to access these, if we discover the Soul and its Workings.
