So what?

Knowledge is a somewhat technical term. It needs to be because we have the issue of not-knowing. God is a profound state of not-knowing. Consciousness of God is not knowledge per se. Knowledge and understanding are different things. Knowledge is conceptual, dualistic, relational. Consciousness is prior to knowledge, so to speak.

God is creating a world for you right now. Are your consciously creating the world? No. God is doing it for you. Did you create the sun? No. God created it for you.

Because without illusion there is nothing. God needs to create the world for you to be able to see it. You are blaming God for creating a world for you. You are like a child who just found out that Skyrim was created by programmers, and now you are upset at the programmers: "Why did you lie to me with this Skyrim? You mislead me to believe Skyrim was real, but you were faking Skyrim the whole time." "Fuck you, Todd Howard, for tricking me with your Skyrim." You want it both ways: you want Skyrim to be playable but you don't want anyone to make it. But if no one makes Skyrim then there can't be a Skyrim. You are taking the existence of things for granted. Something has to create them. If you want to eat a pizza, pizza doesn't just magically exist, God has to create it first. But when you find out that God created the pizza you get upset because how God creates the pizza is as a hallucination. You want to eat a pizza but you don't want to know that you hallucinated it. In short, you demand that pizza exists independently of God, which is impossible.

No, not-knowing is a feature of the Infinite. Infinity is why not-knowing is a thing. God is too profound to be knowable as humans expect to know things. Knowledge is limited and you guys are not taking this issue seriously. God can be in various states. God can be very conscious or alseep. When God is asleep it knows barely anything. And when it is very conscious, knowledge becomes impossible from the limitations of knowing. If we shoot you in the head, will you have infinite knowledge, or will you just be Infinite?

Please stop derailing this thread with noise. If you are not talking about Brand, don't post here.

The whole universe is your subjective thing.

This is false. Existence is Unity, so it needs and even cannot have relations. Existence is an absolute.

No

Knowing itself is limited. Infinite Consciousness is beyond knowledge. No, technically you could not know it. Technically no thing can be known in total regardless of time. You are taking knowledge for granted, which cannot be done in the case of something as fundamental as God.

Consciousness is creating finite ontologies. So Consciousness creates atoms, for example.

Yup. But I think he meant even kidnapping aside.

Your own example fails you. No one knows everything going on in Unreal engine. And that's just one little piece of software, not an entire universe. God is not fully conscious of itself because it is so vast.

Because God is Perfect and it costs God nothing. If you could have a perfect Skyrim with no bugs for free, you would select it.

Of course? How would you know that?
