See, I used to think that, but now I think differently.

There was no 'in the beginning', just as there is no end - linear time (and indeed, time itself) is one illusion that is definitely not applicable to God. God doesn't progress, develop, have a 'capacity' or 'potential' for 'more' - it is, and always has been, utterly complete unto itself within the beginningless 'now'.

The suggestion that God was 'just' infinite potential and 'nothing else' implies an initial lack - how can something have the potential for more, or create more, when it is inherent unity, a totality without want?

I think we need to shed the concept of time from our understanding of God. Only then can its absolute completeness be comprehended (from a basic 3D perspective, that is).
