If he wants to know who created God, doesn't he also want to know who created the universe? So either God created it, or the universe always was, or came from another universe or something. It's really a non issue that it's hard to fathom God being eternal, because you confront the same problem when contemplating the universe.

Yes love is key. It sounds like the I AM is God.

Simply intending to tap into this potential on a regular basis will make it so that it shines through in your life. You don't have to have it all figured out straight away. The power of intention is strong.
For example, you may attempt to unleash your potential through thought, and suddenly you have a good idea of something to do, so you carry out the task and get closer to where you want to be.

I still think the past should be viewed as real. We can access memories, and even tap into the past to alter it in some senses.
When it gets to the part about an infinite past, i don't know how to answer the question, because fathoming real infinity is troublesome.

If you're already on the awakened path, focusing on plants can help trigger transpersonal consciousness. You'll start to see through the eyes of other forms of life. However, in my view, this doesn't mean those other lifeforms are above humans. They are below. It's just that humanity is part of a bigger whole, even if we are the most important parts. I think this relates to seeing multiple systems through spiral dynamics yellow, because the earth is multiple systems interacting in an ecological network.

In my view, and others will disagree with me, you are either a male or a female. Your inner voice may sometimes be female. In Jungian terms you could consider it the anima. It doesn't mean you're actually female, but that there are inner female traits.
I've sometimes identified my inner voice as having female traits, but primarily it is male, and when i hear a female voice, usually it is a spirit talking to me.

Hi,
Some reasons why I am drawn to this site are the ideas like actualisation and awakening, and systems like spiral dynamics (SD). While I am not a user of SD per se, I do use a different but overlapping variants of the universal meta-model*.
So, in lining up these notions so as to orient my "map" so to speak, would it be correct to assume that being "awake" corresponds to stages green and above? This would correspond also to the third-eye and crown chakras, and to self-actualisation and self-transcendence. The stages above green are increasing levels of self-transcendence, such as being cosmos-centric in turquoise.
How would you line things up?
I am aware that there are other aspects of awakening that are not covered by SD, and likewise aspects of SD that do not concern awakening, but I think the two are overlapping and approximate each other, with waking up being a process of uncovering stage green consciousness and above.
Furthermore, there are post-integral levels of SD. These would be when one is fully awake. I don't know of any system that really talks much about these levels - they all seem to trail off around the same point and speak of "higher levels". One of my goals at the moment - and likely for a long time to come - is to try and map out these higher levels of consciousness.
Well, that's all for now. I'm glad to be part of the community, and hope that my ideas will mix well with the discussions here.
note: I have identified systems not mentioned on the list, that are variants of the same thing. I use a system related to Jungian archetypes. 8 Circuits of Consciousness is another one.

It's hypocrisy, but it sounds untrue to suppose that someone is more likely than average to go against their own teachings. I think in general people try to live up to their own words, though i could be wrong.
In terms of defense mechanisms it sounds like reaction formation.
