Chapter 22

The Original Being and the state of the universe

One of the goals of the theory of eternal existence is an attempt to understand the activity of the Original Being, i.e. the Creator of the universe. My theory takes into account, first of all, the process of creation of the universe. This was the purpose of the analysis of the essenceism system, which treats space-time as a "God's concept". The first conclusion resulting from this analysis boils down to the statement that the Creator, creating a new cosmic reality, gave this huge structure a purpose. This means that He made it a place of common life and development for a great human family. Due to the vastness of the universe, it makes sense to step out of our limited viewpoint. We should not treat the cosmos as space devoid of life. It is worth grappling with the notion that we are dealing with an unlimited space intended for a home for the Creator's children.

The second conclusion after accepting this fact is the realization that the Creator prepared the universe in such a way that people could achieve personal perfection in it. According to this concept, after passing physical life, everyone should, in the form of a mature spiritual person, achieve full freedom of being in any selected point of the universe. Such individuals can, for example, find themselves on any planet where life is possible. There they will get to know both its inhabitants and nature, using either physicalization or drawing knowledge from the physical senses of people inhabiting a given planet. Drawing a conclusion from this fact, it can be figuratively stated that our physical bodies are "grounded" on the planet we live on, while our spiritual persons can be anywhere in the cosmos. Therefore, our future will be about living in a state beyond time and space among billions of spiritual people. They can all be related to the billions of people physically living on inhabited planets.

For us, locked up on a small planet lost in the vastness of space, this vision is quite abstract. It exceeds the limits of our imagination, but it is consistent with the sense of the creation of the universe. It is therefore worth assuming that the concept of the cosmos created by the Original Being exists independently of our will. This is because it was established before we even appeared on Earth.

In order to clarify the above statements, I would like to remind you that the theory of eternal existence ascribes several essential features to the Creator: absolute, eternal, perfect and good. Therefore, if this is the Original Being, then the man created by Him is also to be eternal, perfect and good. From this it follows that also the concept of the creation of the universe is eternal and perfectly adapted to people. For those who, rather than the logical arguments used in my theory, trust the biblical record more, I recommend a quote from the Book of Genesis. There, the Will of God expressed in the words: "let it be done" results in the creation of an ideal world intended for His children. There is also expressed joy at the end of each day of creation: "God saw that they were good." (Gen. 1). I will also recall other words written there: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what things God has prepared." (1 Cor. 2:9).

Now, unfortunately, we do not have a perfect world, but one day it must emerge as a proper reality. This must happen if we treat the perfection of the Original Being seriously. If He has ordained something, it must be so, otherwise He would not be a perfect God. We would like this to happen as soon as possible.

The theory of eternal existence still reminds us that the Original Being has prepared for us the concept of an ideal world. Many people feel that way too. It seems that only Satan and the demons addicted to him want this evil reality to last as long as possible. For to him, each day of the fallen world is an extension of his illegitimate dominion over people. However, since the fallen world had its beginning against the Will of God, it will also have its end, so that it will remain unchanged.

Suppose that salvation and the return of humanity to God's sovereignty take place in a thousand years. The history of mankind has been going on for many thousands of years, so this new stretch of time may be significant for countless generations coming one after the other periods. However, from the perspective of the eternal history of mankind, it will be only a short episode. In fact, although human history covers only tens of thousands of years of the fallen world, for us it is the only reality we know. However, if we look at this time from the perspective of billions of epochs of the future good human civilization, our present history is a short moment, full of suffering and tragedy, but only a short period that will disappear in the infinity of the history of the universe.

The Original Being is God absolute, that is, independent of anything and anyone. It is simply an "unconditional" Being. He has established His perfect laws once and for all, and He cannot change them. He cannot set new requirements and conditions for His children, because otherwise He would have to be an imperfect God. He doesn't correct Himself. In the Garden of Eden, He showed us the way to perfection, which is our way of life. Then everything was prepared for man, appropriate laws and the process of development were shaped in the form of His Providence. The Creator no longer needs to add, correct or change anything, because He has created a perfect concept of life for His children. Of course, He always has this basic "intervention" in human existence, which is a spiritual person, which we receive together with His love at birth. Because He wants us to live forever, just as He does. We, in turn, are to bring a spiritual person, i.e. our inner personality, to perfection. Then He will welcome us into His Kingdom.

Indeed, it may seem that God is waiting for us at the end of our life journey on planet Earth. However, this is not a passive waiting, because His Love flows to us constantly, at the same time permeating the whole universe with His rules and laws. Their action is His Providence, which people of faith feel as His Love or protection on their way to eternity. It works constantly and is immutable. She is absolute, just like Him. Thanks to this, we always have a fixed point of reference in assessing what is good and what is evil.
