i believe supreme conciousness (God) always has been
it is infinite and has no cause because it had no need of one
it is unconditioned
only conditioned states have laws that have rules like cause and effect
they also lack time and space
does god follow time & space laws?
he seems to according to the holy books
but that would make him a linear being
which would make him under something

how did good exist all that time without evil?
