Why God Created Us? And Why ‘We’ Created the Big Bang?
Written by Crystal Andrus Morissette
I won’t lie: Life has not been easy for me.
At times it’s been a fall-down, all-out, battle. But I think those of us who are ‘strong’ will agree, it is because of our struggles that we’ve garnered our wings of wisdom and learned to fly.
In my case, all my struggles helped me understand the ‘concept of God’ and why He created the Heavens and the Earth. Why He created us.Why the Universe exists:
I think it was born out of the desire to experience ourselves in a way we can’t alone. We are not meant to be Lone Wolves. Clearly, not even God is meant to be alone! We’re pack animals. We need each other. Up close and personal. We learn everything about ourselves in relation to one another. We learn how to be whole, authentic, and empowered by needing others. I think God does too. It all began with the Big Bang!
Scientists say the Big Bang Theory, which describes how the universe came into being, began as a pea-sized vessel of pure energy or light. All the evidence seems to indicate, that the universe has not existed forever, but that it had a beginning, about 15 billion years ago. The theory goes that this tiny container of energy came under tremendous pressure when a specific unknown variable happened from within that caused it to explode. Fragments of that energy or light began to fall away, separate, and expand from each other. The universe was no longer one. Whole. Complete. The stars and planets and galaxies were formed from these fragments of light. Science tells us that we too are made from this same energy or stardust!
The amount of energy in the universe has never changed but the size of the container has. The Bible refers to this as ‘Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the end; nothing added to or taken away’. Albert Einstein said ‘energy is never lost it is only transferred.’
In fact, science tells us that we live in an infinite, ever-expanding universe and that we are a part of that universe. Steven Hawking explains it in A Brief History of Time:
The discovery that the universe is expanding was one of the greatest intellectual revolutions of the twentieth century. With hindsight, it is easy to wonder why no one had thought of it before. Newton, and others, should have realized that a static universe would soon start to contract under gravity. But suppose instead that the universe is expanding. If it was expanding fairly slowly, the force of gravity would cause it to stop expanding and then to start contracting. However, if it was expanding at more than a critical rate, gravity would never be strong enough to stop it, and the universe would continue forever. This is a bit like what happens when one fires a rocket upward from the surface of the earth. If it has a fairly slow speed, gravity will eventually stop the rocket and it will start falling back. On the other hand, if the rocket has more than a certain critical speed (about seven miles per second), gravity will not be strong enough to pull it back, so it will keep going away from the earth forever.
As I wrote in The Emotional Edge: When someone takes away your ability to expand your own life, you are oppressed, controlled, and disempowered. You begin, as Hawking points out, to “contract,” that is, to shrivel and die. But when you are your own person, able to make your own decisions and follow your dreams, you can expand yourself and your abilities infinitely. Your desires and passions are similar to the rocket firing upward from the surface of this earth. If they are powerful enough, gravity will not be strong enough to pull them back. This, in turn, expands the world around you. Your dreams manifest!
The necessity of choice is why all our religious texts insist that God gave us “free will.” We must be able to make our own decisions in order to expand consciousness—to be empowered!
When you take away choice, you take away empowerment. When you think you have no choice, you disempower yourself.
We are a microcosm of the universe. We too were born whole — a pea-sized vessel of energy; nothing added to or taken away. But within the pressures of life, as we grew and became young adults, we eventually exploded, metaphorically speaking, just like the Big Bang Theory. We fragmented.
Separated from our original or ‘Real Self’. We developed what I call our Dominant Emotional Archetype or the persona we felt most comfortable showing to the world: the Parent, the Child, or the Adult (our inner ‘trinity’); while simultaneously hiding our Submissive Emotional Archetype deep in our proverbial basement: our unconscious mind.
