Our material world is a place where each thing seems to say,
“Here I am and here I always was”—as though it has no origin.
But only the Creator has no origin.
For He is beyond existence, and therefore beyond time, beyond is and was.
This is the truth our world contains:
It is only trying to express—in its distorted way—its own true essence, the essence of all existence that has no origin.
A time will soon come when the distortion shall vanish,
when each thing will declare clearly, “My essence and being is that which is beyond is and was.”
In truth, that is all there ever was.
Beyond Thank you thank you thank you,
There is one line in what you write that is what I have been looking for. I once, many decades ago, had a dream in which I saw us humans as the highest level of intelligence on earth and knew that HaShem is so much above us that we cannot imagine Him like ants cannot imagine us. But then, near the end of the dream, I had a vision of HaShem on His own level struggling with His problems the way we struggle with our problems. Of course in the dream I could not even imagine what those problems may be. But that vision shook me to the core and ever since then I found it hard to believe in Him. I was looking for anything that would show me why my fears are unfounded.
Your line that says that He is beyond everything along with the lines that follow showed me why I should not worry about HaShem’s problems: He is beyond. No more words necessary.
Thank you
