Answer question 5.3

Who is responsible for the

The short answer to this question is: we ourselves.

Allah, Brahman J*W*H, Ahura Mazda, God, demi-gods, angels, devils and what have you, are all responsible for the creation; but we have to add our own names too. We, as simple human beings, are like little devils and angels as demi-gods taking part in a creative/destructive play in a sector of the cosmos which we name ‘creation’. We are all involved in creation.

God in some scriptures is said to have created everything within 6 days and at the end of that period saw that what ‘he’ created was good. We think that God could and should have noticed, as we notice for example when we see the hardship in nature (all species need other species for food), that this creation is not good. It was a dream which in ‘reality’, for most part, became a nightmare.

Creation as we notice here on earth has some fundamental flaws; we only need to look at our own built-in flaws . . .

The Great God or Ultimate Wisdom, Reality, Self, Truth, Love and Spirit stayed –more or less- apart from creation. However we could say that The Beyond has some responsibility for creation by giving us the freedom and possibility to create it (and other worlds). In this perspective we see The Beyond as a good parent: warning us, but also giving us the freedom to learn from our own mistakes. And mistakes we made!

The Beyond behind all the gods is not more responsible than us for the creation, even as parents are not responsible for the way of life of their adult children who ran away, as far as possible, from home. But as the parents are in some way present in the teenager, so is The Beyond present in us all.

We are like such children, and are, ourselves, the creators and destroyers of our own worlds. However, the Source is waiting for us to return.
