Incorrect. If this were true then psychotic people who believe they can fly would be able to fly.
Except for everything… ever. All the science, all the history, all the people who were a live long before you were born. Your parents, for example, who birthed your. If they hadn’t existed, you wouldn’t exist. you are a contingent being who relies on external forced to maintain your existence.
We do not assume anything. If the mind created ht world around it, the world around each individual would be consistent with their mind’s ideal for it. Since human experience of the physical reality is consistent, that is, I experience a building int he same way you do, then we know that the mind is not creating it, only interpreting it.
The whole idea is that it’s possible that my mind creates something from nothing, and then sustains that something’s existence. If I stop existing…then you stop existing. And so by your reckoning, I may indeed be God.
You still have not written my name. What is it? You’ve answered everyone else, now answer me. If you are God you know it. You don’t write it, you are not God.
If it was the other way around, then I could just make things pop into existence with the power of my mind. But it doesn’t work that way. Only in lucid dreams does it work that way.
Sorry Ceelos, I’m working on it. I’m only human.
Have you ever seen all of creation simultaneously?
Of course I can’t tell you your name, but all that proves is that I’m not what you imagine God to be. But the very fact that I’m asking the question shows that I don’t really know what God should be, that’s why I’m asking. I’m not asking if I conform to your understanding of God, because obviously I don’t. I’m just trying to figure out what God might be, and reason dictates that God might be me. You and everything else might be nothing more than just the product of my own mind.
I’m pretty sure he pulled it from “The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.”
Actually this is quite a logical line of reasoning except for one thing, it’s a temporally ordered series, which assumes that time exists independent of reality. If it doesn’t, then it cannot be said that the first cause preceded the first effect, for there’s nothing by which to distinguish the two. The two are in essence, one and the same thing.
I have no clue what that is, sorry.
This is a literal impossibility. You cannot be both cause and effect, because and effect cannot exist without the cause that caused it, and an effect is also separate form the cause that caused it. The effect may affect he cause, but it is not the cause itself.
One must wonder if every conscious being must ask the question, where did I come from, even if that conscious being is God.
That’s the ultimate question, which came first? You believe that stars, and planets, and all of this stuff gave rise to me. I would propose that it’s I who gave rise to them. Or to be more precise, it’s I who give form to them.
