Deep in a region never witnessed is a Being

Deep in a region never witnessed by us, or before dredged up in mankind's imagination, out there in a lonely uninhabited part of interstellar space, sits a Being older then the known Universe. This Being in fact never did not exist. His ways our human minds cannot begin to adequately understand. 

 We are not built in our human body to think and have brains large enough or to think far enough to register the many experiences beyond us. We can only wrestle now to properly understand even pieces of our world and we have nowhere near reached the reverence for it, nature, and it's processes and phenomena which it should rightfully receive from us. 

 This Being I speak of lives out there forever. He knows no enemy because if anything opposed Him that something would not stand a chance of challenging Him. 

We people think we can judge the world and it's possibilities entirely so as to rule out the possibilities beyond us to which we know nothing of. We are amid uncertainty so being here naturally enough different theories will naturally arise in different ideas entertained by us. Most views therefore deserve to not be put to too much shame. Yet who amongst us really knows enough to dismiss divinity and the possibility of a greater power of the infinite, unending and eternal kind. 

This brilliance of this powers reach that I speak of, if closely examined, would be unspeakable. The door to be opened and then stepped through and entered would reveal there other endless unleashed kinds of inventiveness. There unstoppable creativity would unfold with endless varieties of life far superior to this one. Differing natural laws and ideas there would uproot any estimation of what is possible and it would astound us not by a minutes reflection but across time endlessly marveling. 

These unending discoveries of trying to understand this Beings makeup for us now would render us brain-dead to begin to try and understand it’s unfathomability now. So rich it’s ways would be with them being inexhaustible in their beauty, knowledge and possibility.

  We meanwhile gaze up at a moon hostages to the darkness of star dotted galaxies nearby our own in the Milky Way. Yet we can't vantage beyond the unending eternal reaches, the countless eons of century's unfolding across time, the places outside of here too many to fathom. Those unknowns are too numerous and mysterious in truth to estimate or begin to understand what those mysteries hold.

So we do what mankind likes to do when before this open-ended possibility we dull our senses down by providing from our false knowledge false answers. By our false knowing we teach young minds how reality is supposed to work. We answer the mystery which should rightfully begin from a starting point that acknowledges that we offer only weak and fragile guesses about truth. We surround ourselves with false reassurances that we have somewhat of a grasp on this puzzle and the truth is we don’t.

We reproduce skepticism about the possibility of alternative life far beyond what we can grasp by reducing the size of the mystery. We often defiantly eliminate God from the remotest possibility for an answer or explanation for this existence. We often doubt the possibility of extraterrestrial life as well doubting whether conditions for life can exist like they do here elsewhere.

The great minds of man in this way serenade the school children with their antidotes. We are soothsayers, know it all's, standing spellbound before the greatest of all unknown possibilities. The eternal sky and the secrets of it’s abyss in the endlessness of time abide out beyond the places we sit and ask our questions from. Mystery is abounding in our reality now unsolved and entirely open-ended.

A great imagination who is God

If a great imagination exists responsible for all that we know now here, for all of life’s terms, possibilities, and laws. If this form of ultimate imagination is properly named God. If God therefore does exist, which I know He does personally, and He is capable of designing any kind of world within His omnipotent power He wills what does that really mean for us.
 
If God can easily realign the cosmos, by His will, and much more then that if He so chooses. If He can therefore change those limitations that we presently know on earth into something even more far reaching and creative what would that mean. If He could transform  our present human freedom by writing into being and existence new and ever more freeing experiences. God could therefore redesign us, improve His creation, by putting us in unusual places over time or by simply resurrecting us entirely to some new vision that He has for us.
 
That would be within God’s ability and right which is an ability that might seem partially self-evident in our present awareness if we look around us now at the mysterious unknown with the right insight. He has within His master control the knowledge and ability, within and outside of time and space, to do this.
 
For me the God responsible for life as we know it can do all this easily. This world is not His best prototype either as beautiful and awesome as it is. Life’s mysteries, as they can seem to us now, seem fixed and impossible to transcend for us like a better world is wishful thinking. The eternal reaches of a good Deity however can and do expand far past our present appreciations. Worlds, beyond the one we know now, can exceed this one in their reality. Through the many open-ended possibilities of creativity known only by God those possibilities can differ from this imperfect world as we see it now.
 
So too will anger in people recede through this attained wisdom in a plan. Our fears will be diminished and finally be extinguished forever. Hope will go from a dulled holding of it’s future promise, where hope arrived appearing only unpredictably at certain times by glimpses, to finally appearing for us where we are able to see the glory and possibilities of infinity and eternity within creation. We will be able to see that which exceeds beyond our present imaginations grasp.
 
Love will completely envelope us which was seen before only in glimpses.  The ability to know good is now going to be freed to a more total freedom to understand real love as constantly being present with us with no more uncertainties. Where we had been we had reasons to doubt and to be skeptical about hope and faith. We now will finally see truly what we are really a part of in the grand scheme of creation. Our lives, we will soon discover, are in the hands of an eternal Being who’s nature is pure good and if we don’t now desire good one day we will mature to celebrate joyfully what that really means.
