Well when I first read it, I thought it sounded like a horrible story that should be in the short stories section. lol
But after thinking for a bit, I am little intrigued because if it is gathering infinite possibilitie, we could still be in a scenario it is testing where supernatural guardian beings are looking after mortal beings on planet. As part of aother sub-scenario, the supernatural guardian beings are divided and they create chaos for the mortal beings. Then sub scenario within a sub-scenario the the mortal beings become divided and create chaos on the planet.
When I think about it even more, it sounds a lot like hell to be honest. Who wants to be locked in a never ending game for eternity?

You said: "So many questions come into the picture....is then the creator conscious of its own self...can it only be aware of itself through us?"
I see it like this: Once upon a time there was absolutely nothing. Then suddenly the impossible happend - something came into being. An enormous consisciense suddenly woke up, found itself totally alone, and soon started wondering what it was ...
To better understand, it cut pieces of itself - released these lifeforms to find out what it really was, and sent them out into itself - the universe. Like detectives, who would one day return home and then share these new acquired experiences & knowledge. Or maybe whenever something was felt or acquired by the detectives, this "god" felt it simultaneously.

Actually experiences which appear similar to yours started more than a decade ago for me, that's why I'm concerned, hope you don't make the same mistakes as I did. One of my biggest mistakes was pretending I'm multiple people, in retrospect because of low selfesteem, some shame of how I've become maybe even a little powertrip, curiosity. Also it's a known technique that if you want to (mind) control others you first have to get rid of their sense of self first. Divide and conquer. If anything one should make a strong persona for themselves that one likes and keep working on it to establish it firmly and then interact with other beings.
Sure you may not willingly, out of free will, search out the bad entities but guess what, they have free will also and they might seek you out some day, there will be nothing you can do about it unless you start to play their game. Maybe it will not happen at all, but because you meet people on earth in daily life, might be at a moment when you're off guard or you'll have little defenses if you only have your faith, you must have knowledge and understanding, a system if you will. If you make up a system that would help you a lot, you can do that now but not once the bad comes knocking at your door.
But enough with the cautions, I'll return to my lurking stateedit on 17/2/2011 by Dragonfly79 because: (no reason given)

While events in this Universe may full well be one of self renewal, I found your story to be somewhat troubling as this theroy of "ONE" is the same belief held by Satan even to elevate oneself to God status... The first example that comes to my mind is of a demon who refered to himself as Tortoise during an actual documented case of Demonic possession... This demon tricked the exorcist during the rite while he was questioning the demon trying to gleen the information needed to complete the rite introduced this very concept as a "thought" into the exorcists mind...
I have no wish to hinder your journey... Just saying look both ways before you cross the street...

I see what you're saying and understand how that might come to mind from your point of view. In my opinion we are both "God" and "Satan" (God representing our capability to be loving and compassionate while Satan representing our capability to be cruel and hurtful). The way I see it is that the "IT" I described is necessarily capable of both these things. In the end IT (and therefore we) strives to become what we understand to be "good". Therefore it is my opinion that no matter what, we are here to learn to be "good". Whether or not we believe ourselves to be Gods (part of IT) or simple people worshiping a great deity in the sky, the goal should always be love, compassion and understanding. The classic version of Satan should have no hold, because despite one's beliefs one still aims to do good, not "evil". I hope that's not too confusing to understand.

Excellent work my friend, but as I have just fully read your thread, you have given away the some of the main answers, which every individual has to find for them selves otherwise they serve no purpose and you will not feel that you have accomplished a major milestone.edit on 17/2/2011 by naeem11111 because: Just had to add this

Normally from reading the intro, I would have expected this to be some psychadelic babble......and it is in a sense...but It also rings quite true. Interestingly enough many of the symbols that you saw, I saw as well in an experience brought on by taking a bit too much '___'. I don't think that the fact that mine was brought on artificially makes it any less valid...it only meant that mine was under less control, and much more frightening. None the less I am a bit shocked to read some of the exact same imagery, the circular room with various screens, the Universe imploding and exploding in an endless cycle, God literally being everything, The universe just being a game....Etc, Etc.
For me I also had a lot of 'opposites' in the representation...for instance the Exploding, Imploding universe became the Yin Yang...One symbol I saw was existence as a large chess set being played by white and black pieces, and how this game had to be played in balance, else existence would cease to be, since everything that does exist, does so only by being compared to its opposite. Interesting read.....Struck a real chord with me!
