    How would you create a universe without death? Seriously think about it, what would you have to change in the universe? How could you do it without limiting reality in a massive way?

    It's a mistake to personify God, like it picks and chooses what it wants to create.

    God is not a being, God is a system. And God doesn't use workarounds or avoid certain results within it's system.

    What does this mean? God is supposedly infinite, omnipotent and omnipresent. I’m not talking about a personal, biblical god just the idea of the infinite all. How could it be limited to NOT be able to cause a universe to arise without death? Seems you’re limiting the ALL

    What is the dividing line between what we deem as a living thing and a non-living thing? Is there truly any difference? I oftentimes wonder, what if the universe never developed sentient life that can experience…would nothing have ever truly existed? Is sentience and experience just something that happens (no more important than a galaxy forming or an asteroid hitting a distant planet nobody knows about) or is it extremely important?

    This forum has seem to dried up recently in the amount of new posts. Here’s a question I’ve not seen truly answered here (at least recently). Why does THIS produce apparent individuals with perception (I.E an apparent something observing an apparent something)? Why not no perception? And don’t say because the universe was bored and wanted to create a friend- we’re not in kindergarten.

    There's no creation of duality but only in the mind. It's a seeming occurrence that's not really happening only appears to be. The infinite did not develop individuals. The individual created itself, but only apparently because there are no real individuals. All there is is Infinity which can appear as bodies. The individual is energetic by nature and arises out of a false sense of separation within the seeming duality; and when it collapses, it's revealed to never have been - also known as death.

    Duality and Non-duality are constructs. Neither is actually the case. All there is is the Absolute appearing as dual and non-dual.....but only as concepts.

    I get all that and I enjoy your posts…I’ve been a lurker on this forum for a long time and post once in a great while.
     

    Why would it appear that way though?

    Ultimately is permanent/impermanent a duality?

    I’m really stuck on why form needs to be impermanent. Can’t there be a form that subsists forever and ever and doesn’t “die”? If you say no then that seems limiting to infinity. Everything should be possible including a permanent form.

    Also why does change require “death”? Couldn’t there just be change with forms constantly morphing and evolving without the full stop called death?

    Hi- sorry didn’t know where to post this. Is anyone else constantly getting EX144 errors when trying to sign into the forum now? It is highly annoying. I’ve tried three different browsers and finally had to go to a fourth to log in this time. Can someone fix these issues? I tried submitting a technical support request but that wouldn’t go through either

    I’d like to explore this topic further. If “God” is truly infinite/unbounded then that means no limitations. Therefore “dreaming up” an immortal being should be 100% possible, otherwise you are placing limits. Now maybe what we think of as immortality is not accurate- maybe this being would be able to morph into something else/dissolve its form when needed then reappear. So many possibilities.
