A wonderful reply, Laurel. And thank you for saying out loud that you had a transpersonal experience. I love it. However, while I can see that the experience was wholesome, I want to ask you to not pinpoint God as indivisible, and all-connected.
Just because I am swimming under water does not mean the entire reality is made of water. Good thing to come above water to breath and not staying in the experience. I am glad some of your doors were blown open. Maybe they needed to get blown open?
I am fascinated by structure, and I see the religious structure as distinct from the scientific structure.
For instance, the word God does not exist in the scientific dictionary. We can delve deeper when discussing energy and next try to get all the scientific specifics of energy above water, but we cannot delve deeper toward the divine explanations of energy and remain within the realm of science.
Unfortunately, I have to agree that scientists did bring in God via the backdoor. I am referring to the singularity in front of the materialization process. That is a divine position that has no place in science. I'll try to explain this the shortest way possible.
While the origin of what created matter is not known, by declaring the format of the materialization process as starting out with a singularity, scientists blocked the option to declare the first step a separation.
In reality, scientists should have talked about the starting point and declare what all the options are (or: how many options there are that they could think of). Instead, they picked one.
Naturally, the funny part is that they now declare singularity to be a mathematical enigma and that the center of the materialization process was basically not-yet material in essence. They really want their cake and eat it two times.
The beauty of starting the materialization process with a separation is that a separation can never be the starting point to any story. There has to be something else first that separates.
And that is what could have happened in the prior state. Accepting that there was energy prior, it somehow found a way to separate itself from itself.
In the Big Whisper theory, that was possible after an innocent inward motion was put in place that unfortunately for it (but good for us) did not stop. You read the story.
If all energy is of the same kind, and moving toward a center with increasing tension, then separation will occur. Where first there was one, there will now be two (or possibly three) forms of energy. We mainly experience one form of energy.
The beauty is that the entire setup could not have become transformed all completely. Only parts of the energy involved would have been deformed/transformed into matter. Had everything prior transformed into the new reality, then the new reality would have also automatically transformed back into the old reality. That did not happen.
That means the original is indeed still out there, but naturally not as it once was, because parts were used for the creation of matter. It is perhaps still as empowered as it once was, but the deformed matter is a bit like a dictator and the original energy has to give it its space.
