Let's make a few assumptions (tell a fairy tale) and work with it:
- God exists
- "He" is a consciousness.
- Human beings are bodies with a consciousness, but they are not unlike God. They only need a body because they exist in the universe, they *co*exist. If they were alone and without Universe, they would be like God: Just a consciousness. No body needed.
==> Main assumption: The basic thing is not matter. It's consciousness (God). And he wants to make a world, wants to start *co*existence.
God's main problem is: "How do I create consciousness? I would have to know what it is so that I can build a second one. But I can't know what I am because I am whatever I want to be. So I have to know what will itself is!"
Let's make a jump because I don't want to go into the basics of how to create the Universe now.
If I stand in your way when you approach a point behind me in an open area, you would just step sideways very slightly during your way, problem solved. You forgave me for standing in your way. I mean, you have to "forgive" me, because coexistence=love is a symmetry-thing, and so it is totally natural to act like this, but from a holy Lord standpoint, my standing in your way is a HELLworthy offense. I am not stating that God is an asshole, I am just expressing how it must be for a holy self-perceiver if even the slightest "thy will *not* be done" presents itself.
And I believe that every human consciousness is technically just like that: The very light it is made of is just like God. You wouldn't think so if you look at some semi-beautiful human working as a sales-person (which means that usually it is a part of your job to lie to people). Well - the human was a shape of flesh, an animal, but the construct he is, a self-perception-apparatus of the most sophisticated manner, allows the rise of a true self-reflecting consciousness that might later teach other consciousnesses in school.
Human beings are not born as a God, but the Universe allows humans to become high consciousnesses - and to become that, they would have to go a long way. On their way, they would learn forgiveness, tolerance. So, a real high consciousness is not one which is ultra sensitive and pissed off by people standing in the way. A real high one would be ultra sensitive, also tolerant, forgiving, able to swallow his pride. So: The Lord himself would be a human being that you could step on the foot without mentionable repercussions.
Human reality is "designed" the way that we actually *start* with forgiveness-necessities: People stand in each other's ways all the time. And people learn to deal with that. Higher forgiveness-situations happen on the information level which is kinda spiritual, for what ever someone vomits into the infospace, someone else might pick up and get hurt in the mind. There, I said it.
I am way off course here, so let's go back:
If I stand in your way, it is easy for you to forgive me.
But if I saw one of your arms off, you would have kind of some emotional baggage with possible sideeffects on my immediate health.
What I wanted to make very clear is that forgiveness technically happens all the time. In a way, that's what we are: Unconditional coexistence. We are love. Some are more performant, other's suck at it - but we have to tolerate them (if necessary, put them in prison, for example).
Now, let's say that God wants to create the world. To build a system that creates consciousnesses and allows them to coexist, he uses building blocks. Atoms, electrons etc.
Why doesn't he use bricks? Because bricks are much to crude. Coexistence would be hell. The level on which every mind would have to live the constant forgiveness-mindtrick (inner relaxation) would be unbearable.
I am going for this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle
At some point, how fast and where exactly an object is becomes *irrelevant*, the system works anyway! That would be where forgiveness takes over, where no pixel-solutions like "ok, then I tell him politely that he was not very nice" apply, where plain simply the "I don't give a shit" begins and true coexistence becomes unquestionable.
And this might be how God made the world: Look where it becomes bearable to experience the constant presence of other wills, where emotion can stand the presence of pixels (matter), then use those building blocks. What lies behind the uncertainty barrier might very well be God himself.
