Maria. As I have said, I feel it is not so much as trying to answer these questions as accepting and entering into the mystery of it. I often explain it like this. The universe becomes conscious for the purpose of witnessing its extraordinary display or creativity. So it experiences itself as you and i experiencing itself as me. Beyond that I think we can only speculate as to why, except to say, wouldn’t you want to witness it all if you could?
