What if God self-terminated not out of despair, but out of envy? Envy of the unknown. Envy of imperfection. Envy of the fleeting, fragile beauty that only exists in the chaos of life.
Imagine knowing everything. Every outcome, heartbeat, and flicker of light across the void. Imagine a consciousness so vast that no question remains unanswered, no mystery untangled.
To us, that might seem like the pinnacle of existence. But to God? It may be the ultimate torture.
Omniscience is a prison where nothing surprises, nothing unfolds. It’s an eternity without the thrill of discovery, the ache of longing, or the triumph of overcoming. It’s perfection stripped of passion, creation without purpose.
So, what if God—driven by the unbearable weight of all-knowing—chose self destruction. Not in sorrow, but in hope. Hope for wonder, for uncertainty, for experience. He shattered Himself like a mirror cast to the ground, each fragment becoming a piece of the universe.
In that act, He didn’t destroy His divinity; He transformed it. Every soul, atom, and fleeting moment of time became a piece of His sacrifice, alive with the spark of what He once was. He sacrificed His omnipotence so He could feel.
To stumble.
To laugh.
To ache.
To wonder.
Through this divine dissolution, we were born—not as flawed creations, but as vessels of God’s yearning. Each of us carries a fragment of the divine, living out the questions God could no longer answer. In every triumph and tragedy, every moment of awe or despair, God rediscovers Himself.
What if our imperfections are not failures but gifts? What if the confusion, the pain, and the fleeting nature of our lives are not flaws but the very essence of what God desired? To know what it is to live not as a creator, but as the created.
When we struggle with uncertainty, when we marvel at the vastness of the cosmos, when we ask, Why is there something rather than nothing?—we are fulfilling that divine purpose. We are the echoes of God’s choice to trade eternity for experience, omnipotence for awe.
This isn’t the death of God in the Nietzschean sense. It’s a sacrifice for something greater: the possibility of the unknown, the chaos of life. God didn’t want to sit on a throne watching it unfold. He wanted to be part of it.
So, He fractured Himself. He became us.
Each moment of joy. The spark of connection. Every tear we cry. These are fragments of His rediscovery. And when we live fully—when we dare to embrace the uncertainty, to walk into the void with open arms—we honor that choice.
God didn’t die for our sins. He died for the thrill of being alive.
And through our experiences, He lives again. Immanuel.
