Creation is full of Duality

It starts with our creator and his creations. Without our creator we are non-existent but without us, is our creator existent? We need him, so does he! Of course, our creator existed from time immemorial even before this creation as we know it, the universe itself.
Is our creator outside this universe or anything that ever existed? Will our creator carry on with nothing and exist in a void? And what is the origin of the origin itself?
Well, we have our beliefs but they vary too thereby keeping us guessing, groping in the dark.
What we are left with is to press on with a realization how insignificant we indeed are! Not even a speck, and come to think of it, much smaller than the virus going around now and stalking us when compared to the totality of creation. Where does our planet fit in?
So, what are we supposed to do then apart from fighting for our daily bread? I go about trying to add value to the whole process, just being a part of the whole show for not even a blip of its time frame.
And just keep wondering about where I fit in to play a more meaningful part.
This is just food for thought and to find an outlet.
Would you like to share what you think is the whole show about?

It would take some big answers to answer some big questions, another duality.
Acceptance of what is, avoids both the question, and the answer, and leaves you only living from love.
What is God, and his creation all about, why did God create any show at all?
God existed above nothing, and he wanted to exist above something, so he created from his own imagination, and then filled it with life, by blowing his spirit into it, like a balloon blows up with air.
The balloon can float around for a while, but eventually wear and tears pops it, and so the spirit trapped is released again, and God then feels renewed each time life is created and expired; it is like unto him breathing things alive, then drawing them back with each in-breath of his too.

@Shiva49 Thanks, siva.
Some just accept God, as being real, and live with/from faith in that belief.
That's how my Mum used to live. She would say faith doesn't question what it knows.

@innertalks While I don't question any faith, I do wonder their relevance in our daily lives as many go through injustice especially those who trust others.
I am not into blind belief and put off by the hypocrisy that is taken as a norm
Some are outwardly religious but they lead their routine lives with no love and compassion.
Looks like they even use religion to further their selfish pursuits.
It does help then to leave everything to faith but it does hurt for me.
I don't separate spiritual life with my daily pursuits - they should be in perfect alignment.

That should be another take about God and his creaton.
He might chuckle and say to himself "Try harder, Steve, too close for my comfort!"
I have found a few who just can't be bothered with such and others racking their brans to delve deeper and to find some meaning to the "method in the madness of creation".
I like to seek refuge in such, away from the mundane and repetitive lives we have here.

Trying to figure all this out is like trying to empty an ocean using a teaspoon - not my thought but I read it somewhere
And about God he is the God of one's understanding I understand him as someone who is lonely and so sends us challenges so that we can bring him in our life and seek his intervention And this works for me.

These questions draw up immense ponderation. We will never be able to answer these in this life. I often wonder if the next life exists at all and then might we see a bit more significance.

@Shiva49 It is that in itself, the brutality that stuns us.

The whole of creation and our presence here continue to rack my brains whenever I think of them.
Our beliefs are a guide but then there is still a mystery.
If afterlife is like what it is depicted in our scriptures, then we have everything to look forward to without an iota of worry. But then we have no assurance, feedback!
Some are going through hell here for no fault of theirs and if this is the end, it is just not fair.

Yes, they are the basics for sure.
However, I try to find a deeper meaning to life itself and about our creator.
I know it maybe wishful thinking as the search has been futile from time immemorial leaving us to seek comfort in our beliefs but with no updates! .

I agree it looks beyond our ken and quite humbling too.
Serenity Prayer is thought-provoking and highlights our place in society: "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference".

When I look at my life as a whole in God's creation and where I fit in His plans, I fall on my knees and worship Him who existed before time began and will exist when time ends. My role in His creation is to love as I am loved. To serve Him, and give Him glory, honor, and praise.
