How about finding out how the universe started?

How every universe starts: One or more ISBEs decide what natural laws will be forming the universe, which essentially is like writing computer code. You start to define the constants and variables, and then you write the "if..then" clauses (the laws).

The source then forms the universe on behalf of the ISBEs.

And if the laws of a universe are logically inconsistent, the universe will collapse sooner or later, because it's not able to retain integrity.

Some notes from "Alien Interview" (L Spencer) on the subject of 'origins'
("There is no measurable "beginning" or "end" for an isbe")

Ch12 Lesson in Immortality

An IS-BE can decide to agree that they are located in space or time, and that they, themselves, are an object, or any other manner of illusion created by themselves or another or other IS-BEs.

The disadvantage of creating an illusion is that an illusion must be continually created. If not continually created, it disappears.

Continual creation of an illusion requires incessant attention to every detail of the illusion in order to sustain it.

A common denominator of IS-BEs seems to be the desire to avoid boredom.
A spirit only, without interaction with other IS-BEs, - and the unpredictable motion, drama, and unanticipated intentions and illusions being created by other IS-BEs,
is easily bored.

What if you could imagine anything, perceive everything, and cause anything to happen, at will? What if you couldn't do anything else? What if you always knew the outcome of every game and the answer to every question? Would you get bored?

The entire back time track of IS-BEs is immeasurable, nearly infinite in terms of physical
universe time. There is no measurable "beginning" or "end" for an IsBe.
They simply exist in an everlasting now.

Another common denominator of IS-BEs is that

**admiration of one's own illusions by others**
is very desirable. If the desired admiration is not forthcoming, the IS-BE will keep creating the illusion in an attempt to get admiration. One could say that the entire physical universe is made of unadmired illusions.

The origins of this universe began with the creation of individual, illusionary spaces. p225
--

Each Is-Be entered into the physical universe when they lost their own "home" universe. That is, when an Is-Be's home universe was overwhelmed by the physical universe, or when the Is-Be joined with other Is-Be's to create or conquer the physical universe.
--
Every once in a short while, a few million years, an area or planet will be taken over by another group of Is-Be's entering into an area. Sometimes they will capture other Is-Be's as slaves. They will be forced to inhabit bodies (ed: Wingmakers) to perform menial, or manual work - especially mining mineral ores on heavy-gravity planets. p106

The Physical Universe itself is formed from the convergence and amalgamation of many other individual universes each one of which were created by an Is-Be or gropu of Is-Be's. The collision of these illusory universes commingled and coalesced and were solidified to form a mutually created universe.

This Creative process continued to form an ever-expanding universe of nearly infinite physical proportions.

Before the formation of the physical universe there was a vast period during which universes were not solid, but wholly illusory. You can say that the universe was a universe of magical illusions which were made to appear and vanish at the will of the magician. In every case the magician was one or more Is-Be's. p109-110
