Master Idea

so, hoping that there is a God and assuming that there is. i am left at the conclusion that this god was there and could do anything and everything, but this god was alone. obviously, this reality exists since we are living in it. so this god was alone and decided to make this reality and put himself in this reality with full ignorance to what the truth was. because if this god knew the truth, then this god would truly know that he is alone and that would make this reality worthless for him. so ignorance is bliss and god wanted that. but how this reality completely works, that is the next question.

Assuming there is a God, this is a possibility. Then again God supposedly works in mysterious ways and is complex, so contemplating how God is, is near impossible.

And do YOU know?
--------------------
   All this time I've loved you And never known your face All this time I've missed you And searched this human race Here is true peace Here my heart knows calm Safe in your soul Bathed in your sighs

In Hinduism, this idea is called "Lila", or divine play.

just because one states that another doesn't know what god is, doesn't mean that one thinks they know what god is either.
First of all, I don't think god has the same kind of human emotions we do, so no, I don't think that god was lonely and created us.
I think that we were created as apart of the universe, but we were also given egos and individuality, and that's why we think on that physical, emotional level. When the intuitive level or drive that we have, is what we need to realize that we're all apart of the whole.

I would start off without any assumptions or, dare I say, hope and then go from there.
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

Your fantasy isn't new. I've heard variations on it for years. It really doesn't make sense to me although at one time I grabbed onto it all excited like.
