What possible purpose could a being that is infinite in every manner have? You lock the door, and throw away the key

self exploration... an infinite being has infinite possibilities in how it manifests itself and is dynamic in nature just to simply be... Dorge is cooperatively owned and cooperatively run by various hyperspacial entities working as a collabertive sentience project for the betterment of sentient exploration.

How can it explore in it has infinite knowledge? It knows everything. You lock the door, and throw away the key

None that's why I don't believe such a conscious being exists.

We are not such a being, so how could we possibly know.

An infinite being wouldn't be self-conscious as there was no possibility for it to be(?)... And would need to create us and everything else with limitations as self-awareness and individuality comes with the limitations and restraints we and everything else exists has, so it can gain self-awareness(?). "Once I thought I'd been offered a joint but had been given angel dust. I smoked it, but had horrific hallucinations - oh my God, I was out of control.
I saw eight of everything and believed that I could fly.
That was when I stopped taking drugs. I started doing them to be a rebel, then realised that doing drugs just meant I was being an idiot.
Now I hate drugs. I constantly tell kids to stay away from them - they are the root of all evil." - David Gest

Purpose in creation?
I've read a lot of Near Death Experiences and trip reports, and the impression I get is "because it is possible".
So the great purpose is to have fun.
Some people might argue that pain and suffering, which are perhaps the most troublesome aspects of life, aren't very fun, but from the divine perspective they may be extreme forms of play.
For example, the other day I found a video on YouTube, that purported to be that of a baby swearing. I listened and watched carefully to see this baby swear, but suddenly it turned into a shrieking demon. Just a prank video. I was of course deeply shocked, and then I was furious. I began to write an abusive comment, but then I saw thousands of other such comments, and I saw my fear/rage reflected in them. Then I laughed and laughed, and felt high on the emotion of it all. I then felt thankful towards the prankster.
Maybe God is just a cosmic prankster.

Existence that multiplied itself

Saidin is a fictional character, and only exists in the collective unconscious. Therefore, we both do and do not exist. Everything is made up as we go along, and none of it is real.

I certainly think God is a prankster. Throws us all in a fishbowl, wipes our memory of who we really are, then sits back and watches the show. Such an ironic sense of humor!  What, you ask, was the beginning of it all?

I have been lurking on this forum for quite some time, perhaps this is the time to interject. VisualDistortion wrote:What possible purpose could a being that is infinite in every manner have? To experience its infiniteness, would be my guess. VisualDistortion wrote:How can it explore in it has infinite knowledge? It knows everything. To know is not the same as to experince, at least not to me. It was once said; You may know your self to be gracious, but until you do something that exhibits grace, you have nothing but a concept. It is in this light that action and experience are valuable, at least to me. Perhaps the infinite being knows itself to be most awesome in every way. This knowing requires no physicality, it is only a concept. However to experience this awesomeness, physicality might be required. Hence the resulting incarnation(s) and seemingly infinite possibilities of experience to be had, both “good” and “bad.” What else is there for an infinite being to do but experience its awesomeness, and the opposite? At least this is my best guess at an answer to your question, based on my readings that have resonated with my experience thus far. Nice forum you all have here.
