Who Created God?
Hilarion: The question is useful to understand when you ask the corollaries, such as "What is God?" and "What is Creating?" Who created creating, but God? This makes it pretty tricky to answer until you realize that the answer, of course, is you. This is a conundrum in that you would think that you were created by God--which you were.
But that the nature of time itself as having been created, as creation itself having been created, allows you to let go of the question and tune into the beingness from which the very ground of being, the very aspect of the universe from which anything could be created, was manifested in and of itself.
This does bring you back to the place by which you get a deeper sense of what God is all about. Of course, since we are not God, we do not know the answer to that one. But we get a better sense of it with each passing day. And to simply cop out and say that we can't know that yet, is not quite true. Because each day you step closer to understanding the nature of God, and this makes it easier to answer such a question.
At its deepest level, though, you begin to understand that the manifestation of intelligent principle, the aspect of the desire to know oneself, the manifestation of love, these very basic sort of motivations have a lot to do with the very nature of God. Such as a motivation gives birth eventually in itself to a combination of these factors.
That, then, gives birth to God, to the energies that begin it all. But these very basic factors are the, you could say, the highest and best of you, the loving aspect, the capacity that knows, the willingness to find out more about yourself.
Yes it is true those are perhaps the best parts of God too. And therefore you begin to recognize the circular, cyclical nature of all of these aspects, which brings you back to the appreciation of what you are a part of. Of course, the possibility to not take it all quite so seriously, to step back from it enough to laugh at God and let God laugh at you.
Not an easy thing to do, yet required at times because that gives you distance, perspective, and a willingness to change. Because ultimately it is the manifestation of change itself that is at its fundamental core that which gives rise to God, to creation, to the universe where there was none before, and so on.
Change itself, however, is difficult to contemplate because you are in it, changing all the time. This, perhaps, then gives you the greatest clue, for when you understand for yourself personally, and accept at the deepest level the real nature of change, so then do you deeply appreciate the nature of God, and your willingness to manifest God.
