There are other alternatives, which are also perfectly logical. Some of<br />

these possible alternatives are:<br />

= There is nothing but God (Paramatma – Great Spirit). Then all that<br />

we are and we see are parts of God - not only consciousness (Jeevatma<br />

– Living Spirit) but also non-conscious matter and non-matter<br />

3) Matter in many dimensions (Prakriti).<br />

We can have these possibilities:<br />

A] (1) self existant who creates (2) and (3);<br />

B] (1) and (2) both self existent as a unity of consciousness and<br />

this (1,2) unity create (3);<br />

C] (1) and (2) both self existent as separate entities and this (1) and<br />

(2) create separately or jointly (3);<br />

D] (1), (2)and (3) coexisting.<br />

There are other possibilities too.<br />

So, we can see that there are many logical possibilities and we<br />

cannot really establish or refute the existence of God. Hence, we<br />
