What is your opinion on how the world, universe, or universes began?
MY VIEWS

http://jktarot.com/tripleveils.html (deep discussion about nothingness)
First of all let me point out that Science and the Qabalah are essentially saying the same thing in different languages. Its called occult science for a reason. To me it is a more desirable language. For example, Quantum Mechanics confirms everything is connected in this universe on a quantum level. Thats the same as saying "God is within all things, all things are part of the body of God."
Then we have Carl Jungs Collective Unconscious, The Akashic records, the galactic overmind or universe consciousness, and the Egregore. Psychic phenomenon is the the result of connecting with other people through the collective unconsciousness. It too is provable.
Science has also done the math and said that the big bang was caused by the collision of two other universes which exist as membranes in the 11th dimension. The Qabalah has 10 sephiroth, 1 Abyss, and 4 worlds.
In biblical lore the Qabalah, or Cabala, Kabbalah, is jewish mysticism originally given to us by Angels. Its surprising that such insights are only being proven by science.
The entire goal of Magick is to make contact with your guardian angel, or higher self. But don't take enlightenment too seriously. You were born to enjoy this life, the moment you turn your back on that you're repressing your fun loving side.
To summarize the above site, nothing is said to be limitless, infinite, and a mirror of anti-time. A mirror has no form of its own, it reflects. So we have a cone of creation and a cone of the unmanifest. Or we can say that the seed potentially exists as a tree, but the seeds that might come from the tree are negative existence. Tree from seed = potential, seed from seed = negative. We can also the invisible concept of God is negative to us, but the universe is a negative to him, thus a negative of a negative is a positive, at least to us. One might also say that nothing becomes something the moment we think about it. One thing I believe is that we are the universe looking back on itself.
THE ISSUE
All things require origin, but at some point there had to be no origin, a beginning that was essentially nothing. The only answer I can think of is that energy is neither created nor destroyed and somehow interacted with nothing to create the universe (or the 11th dimension)
Another view is that the beginning transcends time itself. Time is created along with the big bang, because now we have a before state and an after state for comparison. Time could also be a circle where the future is in the past, but that doesn't begin the circle.
Another view is that God is man and every man is a universe. Notice how electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom the way planets orbit a Star. So each of us could have a whole universe existing within us and be the God of it! The evil is then considered any germs or sickness, but like the universe burning out we eventually die...
Another view is that life is a giant computer. I don't know too much about how this view works, but it has to do with the matrix and binary code (01) so its at least respectable.
Perhaps the most acceptable view is that its simply beyond our comprehension.
TO ATHEISTS
I'd like to remind you of three things:
1) since your doctrine is pretty much "first there was nothing then it exploded" you should believe in reincarnation, which if you do it is totally appropriate for you to have no interest in these topics to begin with. If life came out of nothingness once, it will do so again and you will be conscious of it again at some point. Astrology, Numerology, and pretty much every new-age philosopy believes in reincarnation. I personally hate the idea and find no justice with it except perhaps for rotating back and forth between predator and prey.
2) The age of science is very very short lived. Have some compassion for 90% of the human race which lived back in the days of religion. Therefore shoudn't you be looking for your answer there? Have you turned back on everyone who ever lived or do you simply not seek truth at all?
3) Did such a perfect universe occur without a will directing it? Thats a rather arrogant assumption. Instead of saying there is no God you should be saying man is God. Or maybe God split his will into all of Man. Consciousness is invisible, so why not also disbelieve in it? Clearly there was an original energy of some sort.
(18) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be."
Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death." (gospel of Thomas)
