The Creator is One.

From His perspective, there is no separation. No conflict. No lack.

Why did the Creator make a world where our perspective matters?

But He didn’t create a world to stay in His perspective. He created a world where our perspective matters. That’s why the Hebrew Bible speaks about blessings and curses, about life and death.

Not because He changes. But because we experience closeness and distance. When a person lives in relationship, in awareness, in alignment, they experience life as connected to its source.

How does distance from the Creator show up?

When a person distances, ignores, resists, disconnects through choosing to not notice His goodness, they experience that distance as loss.

Sometimes emotional (tension, guilt, shame, stress).

Sometimes relational.

And sometimes, even physical. 

Is physical death proof that the Creator left?

Physical death is not proof that The Creator left.

It’s proof that He allows human experience to be real. He is always the source of life. Always the source of goodness for our nervous systems.

 But He built a world where if we walk away from relationship, He allows that distance to be felt all the way down to the body. 

Not as punishment in the simple sense. But as a system where relationship is real, and distance is real.

Why would love not be real without consequences?

Because if our perspective didn’t matter, nothing we chose would have consequences. And then love wouldn’t be real either. 

In the world of souls, there is no physical pleasure or suffering, you feel emotions, and have the personality you developed in this world.
