Post #218, "So, Who Created God?"

Does God precede the Creation Story of Genesis?
Does God precede science's Story of The Big Bang?
Is 'God' First Cause?
What if there is First Cause before there is God?
If First Cause is before God----is God Created?
Then Who Created God?

Of course there are no written recordings of either situation.
So one could wonder whether God is God or if God is the idea of God.
If 'God' is an idea, what could  be the inspiration for such  an idea?

Or, could God be Reality?
We have previously been assuming God as Consciousness's Perception of Reality.
One Perceiving Reality, would of course, convince themselves that the
image they perceived was The Real Thing.
Such is the nature of Perception.
Such is the nature of humanity.

The clarity and Truth of Observation can be blinding so that one is unable or
unwilling to Observe, for fear of 'what IS' rather than fear of 'What Could Be'.
So, how willing is one to Observe Reality when it is much easier to Perceive
God?
This suggests that God must be defined into that which is 'beyond' humanness,
into that dream and desire of Consciousness.
Then we must go to Perception to define God, or better yet, define God as that which
 we dream and desire God to be.
Is it not interesting that our description of God uses terms that we would use
 ourselves, just in the superlative, as powerful, all-knowing, all-seeing,
all-mighty, and all everything, on and on.
Do these terms identify God or do they just identify ourselves as we
wish to appear?

What Identifies God?-----what is God's Identity?
Do we identify God or do we identify ourselves?
Do we create God as we attempt to define God?
Of course, if we are really defining God/ourselves, what words are adequate?
Maybe this is where Worship comes in.
That which we Worship-----that is our God!
Worship defines God more than words.
We create God when we Worship.
But there is much that we Worship.
Do we Worship what Is or do we Worship our dream and desire of Becoming?

God is 'The Beyond', the 'beyond our comprehension', beyond ourselves,
so, in some way, the idea of God must include ourselves within the
dream and desire of what we could be and perhaps, what we should be.
'God' seems to be always out of reach, yet holding within God's self,
all that anyone could hope to be--Identity, with all that anyone could hope
to Possess, with all unlimited Authority to govern to the ends of creation.

Obviously, God is determined by our Belief Systems
 Is there a connection between our identity of God and our identity of our self?
So, if Belief Systems are our identity, do we identify God by the same system
of belief with which we identify our self?
It could be said that we are what we believe and then we try to
believe what we are.
Let's apply this to the God question; God is what we believe God to be
and then we try to believe what we have determined God is.
Maybe it would be more accurate to say that God is whatever the current
and popular Belief Systems tell us and then we try to believe, not in God,
but in the Belief System for the Belief System determines God for us.
Rather then search out our own answers, go on our own search, we check the lists
of other's beliefs.
We check out Belief Systems of others and assume them as our own.
Possibly some more thoughtful individuals may construct their beliefs out of 
parts and pieces of existing pre-fab Belief Systems and rearrange them into
their own Belief System. As our Belief Systems determine who we are, it becomes a bit
scary that people are what people believe according to commercial Belief Systems.---
why people seem to group themselves into these systems and become these
systems, in other words, seem to be alike in how they think, in their priorities,
and in the God they Worship.

What do we need God to be?
God is created in the Awareness of Consciousness to self and to Reality and then in
the Choice of Intelligence.
The Intelligence of Consciousness Chooses to Observe or to Perceive Itself
and the Singularity of Reality.
The Choice is To Be or To Become.
The Choice To Become sets off a process with beginning and ending.
The process is Creation.
The Choice of the Collective Consciousness to enter the process of Becoming
Creates Creation.
The Collective Consciousness is the Creator and consequently is God.

When humanity Chooses To Become, that Consciousness of humanity creates
God to fulfill its dreams of Becoming.
Humanity reaches into its dreams, into its 'beyondness', into its dreams of greatness, into dreams
of transcendence and creates spirituality that it may Worship what it has
Created and personify that Creation with its greatest feat----God!
------humanity's super-ego, humanity's Dream of Becoming.
