One of the most challenging questions humanity faces is about the nature of God, infinity, and the meaning of existence. It’s a question that has puzzled thinkers for millennia: If God created everything, who created God? To answer this, we must expand our understanding beyond linear time and traditional logic.

God as the Infinite Mind

Imagine God not as a distant figure waiting in the skies but as an infinite mind—an eternal presence that transcends past, present, and future. This mind is not bound by time as we experience it. Instead, it exists beyond time, knowing every possibility simultaneously.

This means God has already seen everything that has happened, everything that is happening now, and everything that will happen. Time, as we know it, is woven into this infinite fabric. To God, there is no “before” or “after” — only the ever-present Now.

If God is the ultimate mind, knowledge, and truth, then God is infinity itself. And infinity can’t be grasped by our finite minds, but it does exist and is unchanging.

The Paradox of “Before” and “After”

When we ask, “What came before God?” or “Who created God?” we enter into a paradox. Because God is infinity, the concepts of “beginning” and “end” don’t apply in the usual sense.

There is a “Before,” but this Before is also the end result, the past, and the eternal present. Asking what came before God is like asking, “What comes after eternity?” or “Which came first, God or our idea of God?” The answer is both—and neither. It’s a paradox meant to push us beyond the limits of ordinary thinking.

God and creation are intertwined. Everything that exists is within God. If something existed outside God, it would already be part of the infinite reality God encompasses.

The Good Shepherd and Our Human Journey

Imagine God as the Good Shepherd, a timeless archetype found in many spiritual traditions, including Christianity. The Good Shepherd knows the way, walks with the flock, and guides them toward a safe pasture.

We, as humans, are the sheep who often stray. We get lost in confusion and pain, asking questions like:

• “Where are you taking us, God?”
• “Do you even exist?”
• “Why did you let me suffer?”

We get stuck in the branches of the Tree of Knowledge—looping in our minds about free will, purpose, and the nature of reality.

But the Shepherd already knows these questions and their answers. This phase of questioning and doubt is part of the learning—our “Schooling Phase” to become more like God, to align our finite minds with the infinite.

The Role of Free Will and Our Choices

God is perfect and prepared, but the plan depends on our choices. If we reject the path and cling to illusions, the divine plan becomes more complicated.

Free will is a gift, but it also means we can take countless detours, or “sidequests,” away from the ultimate journey. We may argue over trivial matters or become obsessed with material concerns—like debating whether pineapple belongs on pizza—while missing the deeper call toward unity and holiness.

Yet God remains patient, like a loving parent guiding a child who doesn’t yet understand. The divine journey is about shedding these distractions and divisions to become whole.

The “Bubble Universe” Theory: Infinite Paths, One Reality

Consider reality as a vast “Bubble Universe,” where every choice creates a new branching timeline. Your perception of God, your faith, your doubts—all steer your path infinitely toward one direction or another.

But here’s the astonishing part: none of these paths are truly separate. Even as you choose a unique trajectory, you interact with others, influence events, and shape the collective reality.

God’s infinite mind contains all these possibilities, guiding every soul’s journey while honoring their free will.

Our Role as Co-Creators

Perhaps the ultimate mystery is that God is not only the creator but also the teacher, showing us how to become creators ourselves. The Architect of Creation may be teaching us to build and design new realities—co-creating with the divine.

Maybe this has already begun, and you don’t even realize it.

Each of us is a spark of God’s will, being prepared and taught. The choices you make today ripple through the infinite tapestry of existence.

Death, Life, and Participation

What about death? True death, in this understanding, is not simply ceasing to exist. It’s the absence of participation in life—a surrender to the ego’s desire for control, trapping the soul in endless cycles of doubt and fear.

Life is about participation, growth, and movement toward unity with the infinite.

Those who aren’t ready to walk fully with God may return in different forms, reincarnate, or start anew, asking, “Please help me.” God’s mercy is infinite, always ready to welcome us back.

The Invitation

God invites us to release the material questions and divisions, to unite in love and purpose, and to walk the path of holiness.

Even when we think we’re steering away from God, we are still on the ship, still part of the journey. Our choices shape the infinite paths, but the Shepherd’s voice is always near, guiding us toward the eternal pasture.
