God is bored/boring?

So if as many believe the creator/god made all this because he was bored being all alone in eternity then he/it was obviously not happy or satisfied being self sufficient in singularity which is the very thing that most spiritual seekers aspire to.

Then that would be a rather asinine assumption then. Wouldn't it?
-------------------- Exalted is He from what they utter. Exalted is He from what they imagine. Exalted is He that exists without a place. Exalted is He that was there forever without a time or a beginning. Exalted is He that will be there forever without a time or an end. Exalted is He that will forever be praised. That is your God.

So, hypothetically, It gets Its entertainment out of dreaming up all of us and everything that's going on, and meanwhile the spiritualists get their entertainment out of merging and melting into Singularity... I guess everyone is bored with what they got and looking for that big surprise.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Most people don't wish to acknowledge the creator of your reality because the boredom expected by associating with him was exactly what you needed. As if you don't wish to realize how his boredom corresponds to your boredom as well. Sometimes you will wish to be bored with someone for along time, sometimes wishing to prolong the boredom for future sessions in which you may relish in the boredom.
Sometimes you find yourself in a spiritual state that you had been advised against seeking, as if someone was trying to prevent you from reaching the spiritual state where you would attain excitement. As if he was purposely trying to make you miserable so you could never have any excitement ever again in your life. I think that certain times we might pretend to not be bored when we really are, as if we are trying to hide the fact we are bored from other people.
There is a state where the world will vanish completely and you will no longer regard it as anything real. You won't ever exist in the external state but will exist in some sort of dimension which remains in an internal form that doesn't reveal itself to other dimensions. Because youll constantly be in this inward state acknowledging certain particles of physic in which you found yourself combined, though in some ways you were also excluded from the scientific equation imparted through the galaxies. Sometimes you will be eliminated from the equation so you will no longer have to receive the lesson imparted by someone much more apt to conducting these spiritual sessions.
I had a spiritual session three years ago with someone whom I never deserved to have around because they were so much nicer than me. We created a tete a tete which formed a true bond between us without any distance whatsoever. As if even if you thought there was a certain distance blocking you from really getting to know the person that you also were creating a connection.

'Becoming One with God/The Omniverse' isn't the same thing as 'Becoming God.' No one wants to become God. IMO, that's the most painful and difficult state of existence imaginable.

Who wouldn't be bored in eternity? There's nothing to do and it'd have no purpose.

Someone who is unable to feel boredom. If I was God, I'd just make it so I can't get bored.

I think he had a good time making it. Try to perceive through the higher levels in your mind and notice that the world is not a mundane place.
Further, the worlds outside the physical body are fascinatingly strange. I would say sacred.

It's sounds like it would be "opposites attract" type of thing.
God is whole, we are many. We can become whole (if only for a moment and not even realize it) but we always come back to the many.
If we can become whole within ourselves, I imagine we can do it with others. But that's quite the imagination I think.

It must be just like when you take a swim. The human body is 70% water, and when you swim water in the body keeps you afloat. But if you stay in too long you become a shriveled prune.
And staying in too long doesn't mean you're closer. Closer than say, in Death Valley, but once you're in, you're in.

Those terms aren't to be confused or regarded as the same.
God is the creator of the material world in the Bible.
Other theories dictate that you are the creator with the world being a holographic side effect of projected unconscious guilt caused by having separated from God.
God is not "bored" in eternity. He is eternity and is said to have no manipulation, will, nor knowledge (in some theories) for the material, hence why he "Wills his son home". The "Holy Spirit" is the footprint (of what everyone knows but has forgotten) and proxy that communicates between the two.
Quote:
And torture, starvation, depression, psychosis, child abuse, and obesity. 
All effects of guilt projection driven by the cause - the ego.
