Welcome to the Esoteric Charles Goodwin
Hi Charles Goodwin. I am enjoying your posts!
Is it your belief that God did create the world and does play a role in our earthly existance? Gary Renard, author of "The Disappearance of the Universe" believes God had nothing to do with and continues to have nothing to do with the creation of the universe. To paraphrase, God is perfect thus how could he create something so *imperfect* (* for emphasis). What are your thoughts on this?

Gigi
Greetings Gigi,
I have written the post entitled "You cannot step in the same river twice" as an answer as to how the illusion of the phenomenal world arises.
As you may realise from my posts, I am beyond "belief" and have dropped all belief systems.
As regards to the world being viewed as imperfect - such perceived imperfection is an ego-mind judgement reflecting the perceivers own conditioning. God being totality is absolute perfection. When the true self is realised, the self merges with totality and the phenomenal world is then perceived as a reflection of that perfect totality rather than a reflection of the ego-mind.
The answer is always to "know thyself " and the question is always "who am I?".
Love always

Got it! God is all, all is God. It's deceivingly simple and difficult to fully grasp as the simplest things usually are, for me anyway. 
In essence, we are there now, but we are "asleep", in a dream of our creating. And it is the same dream because we are all one. Individuality--- "duality", really stands for an attempt to separate (ie. the dastardly ego). I have been studying this information for a few weeks and love the way it *feels*. Thanks for your "time" (LOL Charles.

Mmmm - A Zen statement perhaps? Yes - totality encompasses even the labels describing totality.
