Post #116 "The 'Why' Question"

Why did Intelligence divide itself away from Reality? Why does Intelligence divide itself away from Reality? Why does Intelligence choose to create? Why does Intelligence choose to create Time, Place, and Matter----the stuff of creation? Is the answer to these questions lost in the haze of millennium upon millennium, way beyond any possible notion of history and so consequently, beyond our ability to understand?  Or is the answer accessible, even though lost, under the debris of who we are and what we believe our functions, dreams and desires to be? All we need to do is to understand who we are and what we desire and choose, to answer the question of why Intelligence chose and chooses to create. We are all the Collective Consciousness and the Collective Unconsciousness. We are all Intelligence. And it doesn't matter one hoot where we come from or in what time period we live or have lived. Intelligence precedes Time, as Intelligence creates Time. The answer to why did Intelligence divide itself away from Reality by creating its own reality out of the 'nothingness' of the abyss is the same answer as to who we are and what do we choose and desire.

Here is the answer: There lies deep within humanity the desire to become---the desire to become something it is not. The desire to become something we are not. This desire touches all aspects and phases of created life. This desire of Intelligence of  all-time and all-place is behind all choices and determinations and is the very basis of human thought, dreams, and aspirations, from the beginning of history up to the present. It establishes life cycles, patterns, customs, alliances, the very structures of created life. This desire determines human behavior. The desire is rooted in the collective consciousness and unconsciousness. Every phase, every level, every step, and every stage of evolution is a piece of the unfolding of the movement to become the Reality, to exchange places with the Reality as Reality is One and not a sum of parts. The desire is the force of, and the actuality for, the perpetual search for Perfection. Humanity seeks Perfection, but Perfection is not found in un-reality. Perfection is not found in Nothingness. Perfection is not found in pieces and parts or in finitness. Perfection can only be found in Reality. What is Perfection anyway, but the Reality... the Infinite, the Entity. But what is perfection, anyway, but being Real? Reality (some may say God, or Jehova, or Allah, or Yaweh, etc.) and Perfection are one.

The answer to the 'why' question is connected with the reason that Time was created. Time was created by Intelligence for the purpose of becoming ....'becoming' meaning something not yet but dreamed to be attained; hence the need for Time....Time for an unfolding of a plan. Time---to create a beginning that moves to accomplishment.....to an ending.  (Please refer to Posts #19 and 20). Time admits to the reality of non-reality, to the presence of Nothingness for only Nothingness can be discontent, dream, and choose to be other. Nothingness chooses its own removal, separation, or division from Reality. It didn't have to be this way, you know. It's all choice.
