Theorist, there is nothing closer to you than yourself. If you don’t know your self, how will you know others? You might say, “I know myself,” but you are mistaken. . . . The only thing you know about your self is your physical appearance. The only thing you know about your inside (batin, your unconscious) is that when you are hungry you eat, when you are angry, you fight, and when you are consumed by passion, you make love. In this regard you are equal to any animal. You have to seek the reality within yourself. . . . What are you? Where have you come from and where are you going. What is your role in the world? Why have you been created? Where does your happiness lie? If you would like to know yourself, you should know that you are created by two things. One is your body and your outer appearance (zahir) which you can see with your eyes. The other is your inner forces (batin). This is the part you cannot see, but you can know with your insight. The reality of your existence is in your inwardness (batin, unconscious). Everything is a servant of your inward heart.

There are a lot of things I cannot see but common sense tells me the reason I don’t see them is because they don’t exist. It’s your belief that your own reality of your existence if in your Batin. It’s a theory just like the existence of an omnipotent god. Besides, the big questions you stated in your post could be approached from a million different angles - and most of them do not include a religious God.

Also, know the difference between a creater and an omnipotent god. you believe in an omnipotent God, which I am very much not interested in talking about. We can argue about our creator, which may or may not be a conscious being so following a religion makes no sense.
