The Creator exists outside of time, therefore He cannot "get bored".

Ok, pedant. Remove the time component and the logic still holds. Omniscience is boring so the Creator seeks the joy of novelty and discovery via limited, finite perspective. “Your” consciousness is really just a firewalled stream of the Creator’s consciousness and your body is composed of Divine matter as is everything.

I still don't think it works. "Omniscience is boring" is not a supported claim and it doesn't seem likely. An omniscient being would simply know how to not be bored without needing to take action.

It sounds like you're trying to find a purpose for life, as in, why was life created? It's simple. God created life because it is good.

All you have to do is think as the Golden Rule tells you to think.

All you have to do is pur yourself into the perspective of "the other".

In this case, apply that ability to the Creator. What types of attributes are commonly assigned to the Creator? All knowing, all wise, all understanding, all loving, all powerful, all merciful, etc.

OK, so what can we logically extract from something being at 100% knowledge?

It has no room for growth. It's already at the 100% mark, i.e. "all" knowing, "all" wise, etc. There's nothing new...nothing to discover. That would be super boring. How would you like nothing new for the rest of your life? How would you like to be starved of discovery for the rest of your life?

You probably wouldn't. Who would? That means no new information at all...no getting inspired into an impassioned state...super boring.

I'm guessing we have different "models" of what the Creator is.

What is your model?

Mine could be approximated with Spinoza's pantheism. God is literally everything...the whole universe...all matter...all consciousness. You and I and literally everything is a subset of the Divine.
