Consciousness, even an Infinite Consciousness, can only establish reality by means of decisions made. Consciousness begins to establish reality by deriving reality from possibilities and order from chaos. In order to do this, consciousness must first separate something from nothing and make decisions as to what to do with that something. This process necessitates the passage of time for a finite consciousness, but for an Infinite Consciousness, this process necessitates both the passage of time and an eternal reality.
When an artist paints a picture, he must first decide what to paint and how to paint it. Before any system can be created, decisions must be made. The same holds true for reality itself. All healthy. finite consciousnesses possess the same reality because God has created this reality, and He requires us all to agree to experience the same reality.
Reality cannot be an illusion. God has not created an illusion. Infinite Consciousness has created a reality that is just as real as He is. A person cannot be accidentally killed by an illusory, stray bullet. Bullets are real. Our reality is just as real as we are.
All reality begins with decisions made. In every moment, God makes decisions that determines the infinite past and infinite future of the eternal reality. These moments themselves are infinite. For God, these infinite moments of time do not pass through time except as they relate to finite consciousnesses. For God, moments of time consist of an infinite set of creative decisions that God makes. God possesses free will.
The creation of reality begins with creative, chosen plans. Creative plans make up the contents of consciousness. For God, His Infinite Consciousness and the Infinite Contents of His Consciousness are One and the same. John 1:1. God puts Ideas together in His Mind to create real systems. These Ideas are basic and have always existed. The fact that finite consciousness cannot reduce its basic ideas by analysis indicates that the Infinite Set of Basic Ideas must be eternal. The reality that God has created exists outside of Himself, but the basic ideas and systems of that reality God has derived from the Infinite Set of Basic Ideas that is One with Himself. As an example, the artist must decide what picture to paint and how to paint it according to basic ideas in his mind. He must use colors which are the basic ideas outside of his mind to create a system which is the picture comprised of a combination of these basic ideas. God creates reality in a similar manner.
