Thanks everyone for your input! As I expected would be the case, I have only marginally improved my understanding of the start of creation, but even that small part has made it worthwhile.
It seems from reading your responses and the responses in the thread linked by 3D Sunset, that what would help the most would be coming to terms with the concept of infinity and the creator being likewise infinite. This eliminates the confusing questions like "Where did the creator come from, what was before the creator", etc. And yet, Ra does give that at some point Infinity became aware, which suggests that at some point it was not aware, which leaves the door open for "Why did infinity become aware? What caused infinity to become aware?" Realizing of course that explanations for such may never be available to us behind the veil. But it is fun to wonder.
As a side thought, where do you suppose the big bang fits in here? My assumption over the several years has been that our known universe started with a big bang type event, but that it may have been only one in a multitude of infinite other big bangs which spawned unknowable other universes that we are not aware of. I suppose if we go back to the concept of an INFINITE creator, this surely must be the case.
