What do you mean when you say "everything"? If there is no such thing as a divine creator, then even in an infinite universe, one simply doesn't exist. So God can be imagined, but imagination does not spring things into existence.
Let me just clear this up first... I don't mean to offend you in any way, just try and get something out of this conversation. I might not make much sense at parts but just point them out and I will explain what I mean in detail. What my method is for explaining all this to you is me going to the level of oneness with everything which I believe is the universe at its true state. From that view manifests the words to bring you to this realization. The words will try to condition you to snap out of the word realm.
To me "God" means the same thing as "universe" does to others, its categorizing everything (meaning all
things) at once. Now I know there would be people who would say god and universe are very different but I just see it as coloring the same experience a different color. After all we are all connected no matter how you see it from science or religious, so we are all striving for the same goal.
How I see the divine creator is another word for the nothingness. We would need to compare this something we see, a contrasting background which would be the nothingness. The nothingness is a great way to bring about an unconditional state of being. This is helpful in the sense that we can be less of what we thought we were and more of the universe as a whole (everything at once). When I say "less of what we thought we were" I don't mean to say the goal is to become nothing and exclude the physical. I mean to say when we see the world with troubled eyes we have gone into the illusion of separateness hence the reasoning for a lot of people thinking that everything is against them in the world today. To view the universe in balance is to bring about the nothingness into your life right alongside with the something. The universe has always been balanced but its a matter of how we as awareness perceive it all. When we do this I see it as a level of communication with levels of ourselves we have no understanding of because they are not from an understanding point of view. The only way we can connect with this is because we are not our minds totally. The mind we are witnessing is only one piece of the whole. The other forces or w/e you wanna call them are there and can be used only when the mind surrenders to that that is. You could call it the next level of open mindedness lol. LMK what you got out of this!
