Because it doesn't need foundation to arise.

Wondering if God created "void" by separating self into parts/aspects, imo. Void would be the "nothingness" between these differing objects/identities. If God is all that exists, how can that be?

If by God you mean the God of this universe, then no, He did not create the Void. He emanated from the Void.

I posted on the Void and added links where people told of experiencing the Void. "...and darkness was upon the face of the deep" in the Christianity forum.

The following quote is similar to astroboy's #24 post.

Quote:
1. The eternal parent wrapped in her ever invisible robes had slumbered once again for seven eternities.

2. Time was not, for it lay asleep in the infinite bosom of duration.

3. Universal mind was not, for there were no Ah-hi [celestial beings] to contain it.

4. The seven ways to bliss were not. The great causes of misery were not, for there was no one to produce and get ensnared by them.

5. Darkness alone filled the boundless all, for father, mother and son were once more one, and the son had not awakened yet for the new wheel, and his pilgrimage thereon.

6. The seven sublime lords and the seven truths had ceased to be, and the Universe, the son of Necessity, was immersed in Paranishpanna [absolute perfection] , to be outbreathed by that which is and yet is not. Naught was.

7. The causes of existence had been done away with; the visible that was, and the invisible that is, rested in eternal non-being — the one being.

8. Alone the one form of existence stretched boundless, infinite, causeless, in dreamless sleep; and life pulsated unconscious in universal space, throughout that all-presence which is sensed by the opened eye of the Dangma [purified soul].

9. But where was the Dangma when the Alaya [universal soul] of the universe was in Paramartha [absolute being] and the great wheel was Anupadaka [one with eternal space]?

Mellen-Thomas Benedict: "I can tell you this now: the Void is less than nothing, yet more than everything that is! The Void is absolute zero; chaos forming all possibilities. It is Absolute Consciousness; much more than even Universal Intelligence."

Let's not forget ego!

The Prophet of Life says: "If you wish to walk a spiritual pah, leave your ego at the beginning of your journey."
