Now, I don't want to question Him at all, and I hope he doesn't take it as such, but I've always wanted to know... If God created everything there is, then where did God come from? If God created us all, who created Him? Is it possible to be "always there"? In God, all things are possible...it's just the "always there" one that doesn't make sense to me. God, can you post something here? Oh, and you myLot users also!

Good afternoon I am Laila from Sweden. When meeting this question, where did God come from, my first thoughts goes to that of a metaphore. I am an artist, I am the creator of my art. I put in some of my personality in it. I have created something out of matter, materia. Anybody can see that I have marked that materia with my personality, my talents. The piece of art can not se, hear or touch me, can not understand me, its creator. It doesn't understand how I came into being and maybe even existed in a form of preexistense together with my Creator. In the same way following this metaphore, a piece of art and its artist, God is inscrutable for us and cannot grasp His reality and "the birth of God". We don't have the instruments to understand something which is superior to us.The plant doesn't understand the animal, the animal can not understand us. We can understand the needs of animals and plants and stones. God can understand our needs. Can we even understand Jesus Christ, the Buddha etc.. Yes, in one way, through the intermedium the Holy Spirit. which is a reality. We know through our hearts.This is the real important knowledge, that we can fathom. Following the metaphore the Holy Spirit is LIKE unto my pensil, a transmitter. The painting wouldn't understand that either, so we don't understand by reason the mystery of the Holy Spirit. Are you there still,dear inquierer? The painting, the creation,= all of us don't have the requisites to understand the true nature of God. Therefore we have to stick to Gods Messengers, because they tell us how to follow Gods Path, how to reach happiness. That's all we need and Gods mysterious love which is transmitted through His Messengers. Buddhists are using the term Causer or the Cause of Causes about God. Yes , why not. In Bahai writings you'll find this description about creation. "Creation came into being through the interaction between the active force and that which is its recipient." Bahaullah I can not grasp this, how am I to tell you where the Creator came from? How could anybody tell you. But hand to heart, don't we need the Mysteries" We are all equal in front of these things, there is a point in it. In these matters nobody can come along and say, here is the truth about Gods origin. It can help us to be humble, among other things. Use nature to find your own metaphores,and you are a bit on your way It is said somewhere in a Holy Writ: "I am mens Mystery and I am his". Ponder upon it Lailamaria
