There is one aspect of existence that is far more bizarre and unimaginable than contemplating the spatial, temporal, physical, theoretical and mathematical properties of the universe, multiple universes, other dimensions, etc. Try to consider the concept of no beginning.
How can something exist without a beginning?!?!?!?! -g-
The idea is a lot harder for me to imagine than the idea of no ending. In fact, it is impossible to imagine. For clarity, I do not mean no beginning in terms of what we are able to perceive in our limited way. I am referring to whatever created everything that we can perceive and imagine.
Even if we assume that the vastness of space is limitless and spans infinitely beyond the universe and across multiple universes and dimensions without end, stop for a moment and consider the question of what created the vastness of space itself. Then, try to imagine the beginning of that. Surely, it has a beginning -- but how could it possibly have a beginning unless something else that already existed also created it? This line of thought transcends the chicken and egg paradox, and pushes beyond to ask what created the space that the chicken and egg occupied, regardless of which came first.
Regardless of how our dimension, universe, galaxy, solar system, planet, and lives came into existence, what created the vastness of space in which everything that we perceive occupies? Then, what created the creator which created the vastness of space in which everything that we perceive occupies? If it had a beginning, what created it? Again, how can something exist without a beginning?!?!?!?! -g-
The easiest and ONLY way out is to accept as fact that our minds cannot resolve the concept of infinity. |
