I think we are here to become like him, so that we can keep him company. I believe that this is the reason he created us and honestly, I would do the same if I were in his place. I thought about how it would be to be a god and it would be lonely as fuck. So he has given us sentience, pieces of himself who are like him, but are not like him at the same time. He has given us our souls. We share his traits, but we express them in an infinite number of ways. This dual state of existence is a bit hard to grasp for some people, this is probably why there are so many religions, they try to paint the same picture in different ways. Why has he done this? He wants friends and he has given us reality, in all it's horrible and magnificent glory for us to grow and to become equal to him. There are 2 ways to obtain this in magical practice and both ways include transcending this dual state of existence by accepting it for what it is. One path is quicker and it grants power and understanding very quickly, but is extremely harmful to others. In order to do some things for this, you may need to fake compassion and actually do good deeds in order to convince others to trust you. This is known as the left-hand path. The other path is slower, but it's powers are multiplied by every good deed. It involves compassion, acceptance, forgiveness and service to others. But you should not let others take advantage of you and doing that inevitably leads to doing bad things. This is the right-hand path. These 2 paths are not separate from each other and you always need one thing from the opposite side to achieve your goals. I would personally choose the second one, as it does not involve me doing many bad things to others for my own gain, I prefer helping people. But some people simply do not care about others and thus they choose the other path. I am not going to tell you which way to choose, I will only tell you to find the way that suits YOU the best and to go with that.
Good luck.

We can never become like him. No one really can. There can be only ever one absolute, as sad as it is - once you get on his level, you literaly realize that you were him all along and the cycle begins anew.

We are separate entities because thats the only way we can escape from it all.
But in the end, it doesn't matter what path you chose, the one infinite observer will experience them all. There is no choice in the matter.

All it/he/I/you/we do is oscillationg between the realization of the terrible, infinite oneness, lonely and without freedom, observing it all and knowing it all and immersion in a pleasant dream where religion and magic and one path or another really matter.

So when you accept this, does it end? Does the experience end by you somehow being liberated from the cycle of living over and over again? When you accept this, does that part of god within us all finally decide that it has had enough and it rests eternally? Or do we go on to live again once we learn this?

I don't think so. You see, that is the problem with infinity. There is no way out.
It is what Buddha means that you have had an infinity of incarnations before - even if one line reaches an end, there are infinite more others and infinite more of the same that were before...
I think that is the main thing that maade it so terrifying. God cannot commit suicide even though he wants to so fucking bad. Eternal observer cannot stop observing. This is 'the truth' and once you find it you wish you wouldn't. And that is the drive of entire existence - Realization of truth and an immense effort to forget it again.

Well one more that reaches it's end is good. One soul less in a state of suffering, but how many more are in the very state I just left? We will all go back eventually, so I guess I will just hang around with all the others who made it after I die and I will wait for others to come back.
I MAY come back in order to liberate others, but that's the only reason I would come back. Perhaps that is why I am here in the first place, I've always had a feeling it was this way. As a kid I recieved a message in my head and it said: 'This is all my fault, it's my fault I am here. I am God and so is everyone else and we are here because we have forgotten it. I am here to make us remember.' I was so scared that I could not remember this for years, until now.
Meanwhile, I guess I will enjoy myself after I die. I mean, what else is there? And I sure as hell don't want to live again after this. I've seen enough and I want to rest, even if just a tiny piece of everything can finally rest, it would be enough to make me happy knowing that at least one person made it.

Well, that message is basically exactly this little truth of mine. I knew I can't be the only one.
I just don't think we have a choice in the matter. It's pure chance. And an eternity of rest just passes in a blink of an eye an we will be back here again.
