| Re: Cyclic Universe
You must believe in some kind of 'creation' to posit 'what came first'. However, if you see 'creation' as something that happens all around us, all the time, then existence just exists. The 'paradox' is eliminated, and all 'things' are merely aspects/parts of an entire existence.

The break-off is real, and what is being bombed and blown up outside are actual symbols of interior fears." - Joseph Campbell
