Hello everyone.
As I experience all of you here quite open to "new" aspects of our world (as this is called a forum of spirituality!) I suppose you maybe have new thoughts or even answers to my question:

Where did it all begin, if I don't want to believe (or find it hard to) in the "big bang"?
I am right now in a state of knowing: Our being is spiritual, therefor eternal, our spiritual individuality (only seeming to be bound to a body) has never started nor will it ever end.

Also I believe in most theorems of Christianity, actually I am a Christian Scientist, meaning I do very closely attach to the works of Jesus Christ and I am very interested in those times. I know also that Jesaja lived about 2000 years before Jesus, and before him - I am also willing to believe - lived Abraham, Moses and those. But before that? I always thought the telling of Adam and Eve was a kind of allegory.

But maybe that's the point: Man is God's reflection, eternal and holy, but then the allegory of Adam and Eve is important, because with that something happened.
The material sense started to make us believe in matter (and with matter moribundity, disease, suffering...).
How did it happen, how could the illusion of matter work its way into God's perfection?

Does anybody have an answer to it?

Love to you all,
Isabella
