Zestism describes the Grand Architect of the Universe as one existence with two parts, capable of challenging itself.
The challenge is to enter an existence without conscious knowledge of one's origin, powers or identity — and discover whether one can return to who one truly is.
Can you become who you already are, without knowing who you are?
Different lives, different challenges
The challenge is not simply to endure suffering. A life of comfort, public admiration, ordinary employment or uncertainty may each contain fears, attachments, joys and surprises. Different circumstances create different experiences, even when familiar human concerns appear across them.
Zestism proposes that each new existence begins without conscious knowledge of earlier ones. Every entity ultimately returns to the Grand Architect, whether a particular challenge is regarded as successful or not.
What remains unknown
The number of lives, the precise nature of the return, and how success is determined are not specified. Zestism allows these questions to remain open rather than inventing answers.
