Why we exist

of "I exist", as well as the unconscious and its inferred existence, provide powerful evidence for the existence of a Creator. For humans, consciousness results from perception. To feel that "I exist", I must perceive that I exist. I must perceive. The Creator perceives everything. The Creator witnesses my reality, your reality, the rock, dog, cat, all I cannot perceive the unconscious. The best I can do is perceive more and more of the unconscious, but I will never perceive it all. The unconscious is too vast. But the unconscious exists. It is a form of consciousness. It is not the negation of consciousness. It is another form of consciousness that I am not aware of until I become aware of it. But it must exist. Otherwise I would be unable to receive it into my consciousness. Further, the unconscious powerfully affects me. Our 20th century psychology has made this point. Not to mention many great thinkers, among them, many great writers. Not to mention those of more ancient times.

We exist because the Creator creates and witnesses us. In the core of the I feeling is this awareness. Go deeper than the ego, into the self. Go into deep reflection and listen to the intuition, and this fact will become clear: We exist because the Creator creates and witnesses us. Further, one must acknowledge that ignorance causes and seems to be a part of limited consciousness this, when studying our own species. Likewise, the greater forms of consciousness are the most loving. Thus, were we to imagine a Creator, one capable of creating all existence and keeping that existence in place through the act of witnessing it, must be an incredibly powerful, incredibly loving, incredibly conscious force. Thus, we exist because the Creator loves us.
