However, if I go back to the Creator after It became self aware but before free will was invented, it was alone. It was alone in a way that is hard to comprehend: it was the only entity that has ever existed or will ever exist. It split itself into multiple personalities with free will so it would not be alone and have experiences. You and I are these personalities...
And with that reasoning, I feel that my life and anyone's life is extremely important no matter what we choose to do and what meaning we ascribe to it.
So continue to keep Yourself company.
I agree with the bold part tremendously and that's why i came to the conclusion that it has no meaning or purpose. It doesn't matter what we do, none of it matters, and like i said earlier its not bad, its just the state of things. Also when i say this i don't mean that entities should stop living and stop experiencing things, its just that no matter what happens it doesn't matter.
What if instead of saying that whatever you do does not matter, you could say whatever you do or could do would equally matters?
In my view that we can do anything we want is a way to accept that others also do whatever they want. If I'd be hopelessly angry at this Universe and hated everyone and everything, maybe I'd be killing people, not my case but it is the case of others who also are me, as such I know I could be a murderer under the right circumstances. Then we can either see it all as pointless or as meaningful. In some ways others are there only to be different than what we are, and we are to be different than what others are.
Glory and beauty of many-ness! In which we play each and every role, seeing everything that we can be through us and other versions of us who are different only through their circumstances.
if everything matters equally its the same as saying everything matters, if everything matters its the same as saying nothing matters. do you agree ?
Well it's question of perspective. Question is, what will be the end perspective, that it matters or that it matters not?
I tend to think every being in Creation will come to think it does matter through their evolution. I like the saying "All is well". It's not just that things are, it's that they also are well.
