Why did I create this site?
As a child I went to church, but this was done out of compulsion, duty and obligation, rather than a heartfelt personal desire to learn about God. The way God was explained in my youth was dry and meaningless to me, yet I knew that God was there for me, and I would pray silently to him at night before going to sleep.
When I reached middle age I began to wonder about the relationship between God, religion, spirituality and science. So, I asked God to help me understand!
The answers did not come in a flash of inspiration. It took several years and a lot of time and work on my part, and I am still learning. Today most of my learning comes from trying to follow the Golden Rule rather than studying God, because I have found that this is the best way for me to evolve and grow closer to Him.
What we are and why we are here is very simple and easy to understand. However, it took me a long time to put the pieces together and achieve this understanding. It was very difficult to find a relatively simple and concise explanation for our existence that made any sense.
This website is my personal attempt to provide simple explanations that will help you to understand and give meaning to your existence. It explains in very broad terms how creation works, and what God expects of you.
I have tried to present a “Big Picture” overview of creation, rather than the detail that many other websites try to provide. The problem with detail is that the deeper we delve into it, the more complicated and less relevant it becomes. There is a lot more depth that you can explore if you choose, but the reason for your physical incarnation is to learn to love. It is that simple!
Past a certain point, which is different for each of us, if you continue to thirst for knowledge you will get very frustrated, and it is unlikely that you will ever be satisfied. All will be revealed to you, but not during this temporary physical existence. If everything were explained now, you would not learn the lessons you came here to learn.
How was this site constructed?
Throughout this web site you will encounter a certain amount of repetition. Thoughts and comments have been included in more than one section of this site. This repetition is by design, and is necessary because people read on the Internet by accessing sections and titles, rather than by reading a linear flow of text.
You will notice repeated themes expressed in subtle and sometimes less than subtle ways. This is because there are important themes that come up time and time again when trying to understand God’s message. Also, repetition helps people to learn.
As far as I am aware, this site does not contain thoughts, concepts or comments that are unique to this site. This is natural and to be expected. The closer you get to understanding God’s simple message of love, the more unified and congruent the explanations become. Everything you will find here can be further researched.
Some of what I have written is difficult to believe if you have not encountered this kind of material before. Some concepts may be a total surprise to you, and some concepts may shock you because they are directly opposed to what you have already been conditioned to believe.
The religious references that you will find most often in this site are to Christianity and the Bible. This is because readers of this site are likely to be most familiar with Christianity. However, all authentic religions are based on the Golden Rule, and they lead to the one and only God. As long as you behave with love in your heart, you should feel free to view God and religion in the way that makes the most sense to you, and that generates your most loving behavior.
I have tried to illustrate key concepts within this site with quotes from various people, some well known and some less well known. It is my hope that these quotes will help the reader to reflect on what they read.
I spent a long time trying to make the writing on this site crisp and concise. I could have written a lot more, but I might have lost the interest and attention span of many readers. I think that many people make the mistake of writing too much when they try to explain God. The truth is simple and easy to understand. It is the practice that it difficult!
It is not possible for me to just hand you the answers you seek. You must feel them in your heart for them to have relevance and application in your daily life.
Throughout this site, God is referred to in traditional masculine terms. This is what most readers are used to. However, you should feel free to see God in terms of whatever gender or form helps you to better relate to and love God. God is our creator, and is therefore both our father and mother.
If you decide to research God with an open mind and heart, you will find that it is possible to discover the fullness and love of God for yourself, just as I have.
Explanation of terms used in this site
PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS or UNIVERSE - We live in a three dimensional physical universe (length x width x height) plus time. This is referred to as the universe, or physical dimensions or physical world or natural world.
MULTIVERSE - The entirety of creation, including all dimensions, is referred to as the multiverse. String theories currently speculate that there are at least 10 dimensions, most of which are not accessible to us while we are rooted in the physical dimensions.
SPIRITUAL DIMENSIONS - The dimensions that are not visible to us while we live in the physical dimensions are referred to as the spiritual dimensions or spiritual realms or supernatural world or non-physical dimensions. Strictly speaking, not all of these additional dimensions are spiritual, because there are non-physical dimensions inhabited or accessible to other souls who, like human beings, have not yet passed into the spiritual realms. Explaining this fully is beyond the scope of this site.
LOVE – The use of the word love in this web site generally refers to unconditional love. This is defined as love that is given freely and regardless of the relationship between the giver and receiver. Unconditional love is not given with the expectation of receiving anything in return.
INCARNATION – is the condition that refers to an eternal being, a soul, temporarily living inside a physical body. To “incarnate” is to return to the physical dimensions to experience a physical lifetime.
