Ask a person who is blind since birth what it's like to be blind...they can't answer you.

They have never known sight.

To really understand what it is to be blind...you would first have to have sight, then lose it, then regain it.

So in that vein...let's expound on this idea...

What if God is all...and NOTHING exists outside of God?

God would have to set up this "simulation" inside of himself to give us all the illusion of being seperate.

God asks Himself the same thing we ask...

Who am I?
What is my purpose of existance?

In order to answer that question, God must know Himself, forget himself, and come to know Himself once again.

So God creates beings that contain a spark of His own divinity...wipes their memory of Him...and puts them into this simulation.

God sees thru our eyes so He comes to understand everything we understand.

If we can come to know God in this life...Gods question will be answered.
