This "God" has to exist otherwise your life has no meaning? Is that what you're saying here?The God I've "adopted" (worked out over years of subjective experience and objective study/working out) is vital to the existence of all the infinite universes. Without the flow of the Infinite substance between them, there would be no opening of space-time nor the possibility of a single atom, let alone me.
What it does "tell" me is that I, along with every other soul, is a universe unto ourselves and we are "doomed" to perfection, how ever many lives it takes to grow beyond the need to project into bodies made of atoms and learn from the errors we create here. We are each unique self expressions (pro-creations) of the original Individual and though we appear as enemies in this life, we are siblings, and I love you, and competition is good for the growth of all participants.
I am not concerned with the form of this wave, but only the water I can gather and the carrying force I can exert on the ocean. Some of us like to surf while we're down here.
And so if I live in this manner of eternal self responsibility and deep, intimate connection/recognition similarity to others under the surface of our faces, how shall I have lived even though all this turn out to be untrue?
