This is all entirely opinion and hypothesis and I do not mean to present any of it as fact.
Please read this all (it should literally take you five minutes) and tell me what you think of it, questions, compliments and objections are valued equally.
Death and Destruction do no exist.
Death and destruction are short-term views. We may see something change forms and then call it death, but really all it has done is change. This philosophy is based both in spirituality and science. As far as the science aspect of it goes, as any scientist knows matter cannot be created or destroyed, it can merely change form and sometimes become energy, however nothing ever seizes to exist. All matter is consistent, what was originally will always be and there is nothing that anyone or anything can ever do to change that. Any destruction can also be viewed as creation. One may say that a star has died or been destroyed, but it can also be said that the so-called "death" of a star is really just creation. Basically, what happens when a star dies is its own helium/hydrogen core either runs out or explodes, leaving behind all of its matter to create new things. Some popular names for these new things are "White dwarf" stars, neutron star and the recently proven to exist, black holes. All that was the star still is, it is just in different places and different forms. When a star explodes it can factually be said, "Look at all that is being created". Also, as the star "lives" it also spawns creation. Creation never stops, and destruction never takes place. Plants my "die" but as we all know, dead plants make great soil. All that was the plant still is, it is just in different places and different forms. Different, but the same. The plant has changed into something else, but no part of the plant is no longer in existence. Oceans may dry up, but they become gas.
As to the spiritual side, if, as I believe it is, our true nature is spirit not body and we know that our body can be part of the creation/destruction system of continual existence then it could be assumed that our spirit could do the same. Perhaps our spirit is an island unto itself; perhaps it is an always-evolving morphing spirit. Either way, I conclude that Death is a myth, a one dimensionalized view that has been greatly exaggerated. We don't seize to be, we merely change.
Some might say that destruction and creation exist together, in harmony, in a yin and yang like inter relationship. I say destruction is just a term for creation, so ultimately it is all creation anyway. However, it can also be said that creation is another word of destruction. A growing plant can be viewed as a "dead seed", after all the seed is no longer a seed. It can also be said that creation and destruction doesn't exist, only change. Things change from one thing into another. The initial change is generally labeled destruction and the following change is labeled creation, but as I have stated no matter is destroyed or created, simply changed. Call it what you will, creation/destruction/birth/death we are talking about the same thing. I chose to say that death and destruction do not exist because I believe that the traditional idea of death and destruction really doesn't exist. People view death and destruction as seizing to be, the absence of anything, and that truly does not exist. If scientific law really is applicable to all things and consistent throughout all existent, and science and spirituality are two in the same and play by the same rules, as Einstein always thought, then there is no reason to believe you seize to be when you die, in fact all indicators point to the opposite. We do spiritually and physically, live forever. We are eternal and we are part of the continuous creation that is the inheriting nature of existence. We are eternal creation, ever creating, never destroying.
Who created the first creation? Where is God from? Where do we come from?
After deep mediation, contemplation and even scientific research I have come to an interesting conclusion. If all matter can neither be created nor destroyed, as basic scientific law states, then the answer to how was the original matter created is simple...it wasn't. It has always been. Creation doesn't exist. Neither does destruction.
Humans feel it is logical that all things have a starting point, but why? Where does anything really start? If all matter is consistant, then nothing has ever been created. Take a look at some processes in nature. Water becomes gas; gas becomes water in a continuous cycle...where does it start? It doesn't. There isn't a starting point; there isn't an ending point. It simply exists that way. I have come to hypothesize that the true nature of everything is a continuum, a circle. Look at the rock cycle; rocks are melted and then hardened forming igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are then, eventually, subjected to heat and pressure and become Metamorphic. When the process of nature weather these rocks down into tiny particles they settle and eventually lithophy and become Sedimentary. These rocks can then be melted and then harden and become igneous, or they can be partially melted and become metamorphic. Any of the three rocks can become any of the other rocks. Where does it start? It doesn't. Where does it end? It doesn't. It's a process.
Beginning, middle and end are terms we create to define time. If the universe never began, and it will never end, then there is no middle. Therefore, I hypothesize that time doesn't exist. We comprehend things with only what is familiar to us. We tend to define things by what they mean to us. In other words, if we don't think it affects us, it isn't important. As far as our interests go, the period of time the Earth will be around does have a beginning, a middle and an end, at least in terms of the actually planet before its form changes, what some might call "the destruction of the Earth". So the theory of time is applicable to Earth. So since the terms beginning, middle and end do apply to that, we accept them. They also apply to the time we are alive and the time are friends are alive, as well as the time we are at work and until we get home. However, I think we make the mistake of thinking that the terms beginning, middle and end apply to everything because it applies to everything we think about, and so everything must have a beginning, middle and end. This isn't necessarily true. If all matter cannot be created or destroyed then there is no beginning, middle and end to matter. Since the universe is made up of matter than there must be no beginning, middle and end to that as well. We are not use to thinking in those terms but I think they are quite factual, if not unconventional. If time is defined as the period between beginning and ending, and there is no ending...if there is no ending then there can be no time. If you define time as change than you might find this confusing. Change and time are different, time is a measured period and change is simply measure of difference from one form to another. Change is physical time is not, it is mental, or rather all in the mind. The universe was never created, neither was God and neither were we is what my hypothesis is. Existence always was and always will be and time does not apply to it.
