The "Birth" of the Universe

The following Seth quote concerning the "birth" of the universe is a fine example of the problem we have understanding anything with our simplistic yes-know, true-false kind of logic and our linear time construct with 3D images of "physical reality' complete with boundaries all sorted from a presumed start to a presumed finish.

In fact, a more general system of logic would be 4-valued:  True, False, Both True and False, Neither True or False.  The latter (Neither True or False) represents things that are fundamentally unknowable to us - often because we are asking questions that seem to have meaning in our system of thought but have no relevance to the greater reality - i.e. we are asking the wrong questions.

“The birth of the world represented a divine psychological awakening.  Each consciousness that takes a part in the physical universe dreamed of such a physical existence, in your terms, before the earth was formed.  In greater terms than yours, it is quite true to say that the universe is not formed yet, or that the universe has vanished.  In still vaster terms, however, the fact is that in one state or another the universe has always existed.”

(Dreams, “Evolution” and Value Fulfillment, Session 882)
