The source, pure consciousness, is an infinite potential field, an infinite, timeless information field. It contains all knowable, i.e. potential information, but no actual knowledge. It is the indeterminacy, the not-knowing. The potential information, the not-knowing, can comprise an infinite number of states. Actual information, the classical information or facts comprise finite definite states. It is knowledge. How does not-knowing become knowing? How does something become something out of nothing?
A static potential field would exist forever and ever without anything happening in it. In other words, if there were no working God, there would be no one to ask such questions. No reality can arise from potentiality without effect. A God who does not work cannot be recognized. When all is one, we can know nothing. We need the Two, duality, creator and creation. Information only makes sense if there are at least two states. Duality enables the transition from non-knowledge to knowledge, from nothing to something.
God never left heaven. He sent out an inner entity of him, his son. Father and Son are two instances of the one God. In the Vedic religion of ancient India this inner core is called Atman. This inner instance is identical with Brahman, the eternal source. In the individual human being, it is called Atman, in the cosmos, it is called Brahman. Atman and Brahman are eternal, are one. "The cosmic soul," it is said in the Upanishads, "is one and present in all beings." We call this inner instance of pure consciousness in this blog subjective consciousness.
The subjective consciousness creates our reality from potentiality. Subjective consciousness is the gateway through which the manifestations of potentiality enter our world. Everything that is, originates from pure consciousness and also returns to pure consciousness. In the end, the subjective consciousness also returns to its original state.
