So Red if the Universe didn't exist until I was born where did I come from
Imo... I didn't come into this world, I came out of it...

Thank you.

You'll note that Sky corrected me - yes we didn't come into this universe - we came out of it.

The universe spawned you and me and everything.
It is continueing to do so in an endless act of creation.
The universe is, so to speak, on a journey of discovery, one which exceeds all imagination.

Consciousness is the primary factor of this thing we call life.

We've seen nothing yet.

RE. SKY. I guess we have to ask which birth are people referring to when they make this statement.

I mean the Universe certainly existed when I was born a few years back wasn’t it.

But then you have to ask, did it exist when I was born (reincarnated) hundreds of years ago. Well I guess it did because of what we have read and been told by science/history books.

SKY……”I didn't come into this world, I came out of it...”

Well maybe yes AND no.

I came OUT of my mothers womb and then I came INTO this world. LOL

So maybe both are correct.

As to where did I come from. Well that’s anyone’s guess isn’t it. I wouldn’t have a clue to be honest. Maybe from consciousness?

I hope I’ve answered this correctly Sky as I’m not too sure what it was you were trying to say or ask me.

Hi Busby, Maybe we are talking about diff things...but I have to disagree...Belief is the most powerful thing in the World. ((Huh? Lol.)

Why, if you believe even a little in the idea God said, 'Let there be Light'...He had to believe it first...lol.
That's what I'm talking about...Then, the spoken word is the next thing that is so powerful.
(Oh my, are words powerful, esp filled with belief in them!)

I ''believe'' many things...and they happen. Period.
I believe (or actually have exp'd, so therefore 'know) that God is my loving Creator, Father ..and in His Spiritual Being I live and breathe.
So, a belief in my experience - is my reality.

If I hold a belief, esp long enough, that I'll never get that job...THAT becomes my reality.

Disclaimer number 2…….your belief in ‘belief’ can be understood either as the power of positive thinking…which has its merits or can be viewed as wishful thinking which can often be proven to be false.

Believing that the world was flat was not able to be proven as truth…..in fact, the reverse was true…..belief can either be an affirming experience or a humbling experience IMO…….

Hi Busby, I wasn't intentionally trying to correcting you, just expressing my personal opinion ...
I may be wrong, who knows..

A little bit more about beliefs. We all live by our current beliefs. There is a formation process for beliefs…..a consideration of experiences etc. IMO this dictates that they remain subject to change….especially if we remain open minded…….

The funny thing is when people find out the truth they still perpetuate the lie to the next generation.

I think anyone who is introspective and discovers something is a mystic.
