Thank you Jay. I want to share also my idea about God, when I heard you.

I totally agree that God is not a human and doesn’t need anything from us or from any other living things and with saying that we are humans and we are always in a need to stay in life and not necessarily alive but yes we don’t want to die, this is the fact with to faces. But what if the reason that the dinosaurs left the world and make place to human not only evolution is but also that God created the human because he needed something from his self for his self, that the one and only need of God is the reason of the creation at the same time.

Whether the human believe in God. we all accept the universal fact that we are created for a reason, even we don’t believe in this acceptance , we create something good or bad as long as we live on this earth…and we are a or the reason in someone else’s life and experience. From this context is it not possible that knowing and knowing each other is the core truth of the human being, we never try to know God whether he is truly there or not.

Thank you for sharing these ideas - I appreciate you doing so. I believe I'm here for a reason, but as much reason as a wave, a flower, a cloud, a storm. I'm a natural part of a much bigger process, as are we all, and one that my human curiosity will forever try and understand, but I won't ever crack the code of that mystery. Not in an absolute sense. I wrote about this in another post 'A Change of Era Part 3' here are 3 paragraphs from that post, that you reminded me of - thank you!:

Let’s consider that whether through biology, physics, soul contracts, God, or even the idea that we live in a simulation, the universe and everything within it could be seen as predetermined. As individuals, we’re never privy to the full scope of that predetermined plan. Whether I’m a soul inhabiting a ‘meat suit’ or simply a collection of natural impulses, I can never fully perceive the deterministic structure that may govern my life. Yet, in my day-to-day experience, I perceive that I have agency. This sense of agency, this feeling that I can choose, is what I experience as free will. It’s the lens through which I navigate my life, regardless of whether my choices are ultimately shaped by prior causes, soul contracts, or some other cosmic order.

So, what about unpredictability? Even if the universe operates under a grand deterministic scheme, from my limited human perspective, it’s impossible to predict most outcomes with absolute certainty. This unpredictability is not necessarily a refutation of determinism, but rather a reflection of the complexity and scale of the systems at play - systems that are far beyond my ability to fully comprehend. In this sense, unpredictability becomes a part of my experience of free will; it’s the space where my perceived choices play out, where the unknowns keep the game of life dynamic and engaging.

In essence, while everything might be predetermined in some larger framework, my lived experience is one of navigating choices, facing uncertainties, and making decisions in a world where outcomes are never fully guaranteed. This doesn’t diminish the possibility of a grand design; it simply highlights the way I, as an individual, engage with that design - through the choices I make and the unpredictable outcomes that follow. This dual awareness of determinism and free will, predictability and unpredictability, forms the core of how I experience and interact with the world.
