What if God was selfish and did exist as a form?

I get how God was so selfless that he gave up Everything for Everything to exist.

 

But what if God was selfish and did exist as a form? What then would have happened?

I see God as extremely selfish. The most selfish being in existence, in fact. He's the only one that exists. All is him. And everything exists only for him and no one else.

I mean, how could he NOT be selfish? From his point of view everything in the Universe is just "Me, me, me".

 

I came to this conclusion when I contemplated about the ego and why would it be wrong to have it (I mean the kind of ego that people talk negatively about). I found out it wasn't wrong. Everything I see around me is made for me to take and enjoy. Why not use it.

 

Children are like that too. And they are the most accurate representation of God.

It's not possible even in theory. Any form is going to be an image on the screen and not the backdrop.

Thoughts and selfishness etc, are always images.

Peace and selflessness are defaults, peace being the lack of anxiety, and selflessness being the lack of selfishness. NOT desire for selflessness though, e.g. "I want to give to the poor". That "selfless" thought is an appearance. All thoughts and desires and everything else which has form are appearances.

Even a deity type of God who crafted the universe we live in with specific goals etc. Even then that God is aware and its thought process and desires that went into this pet project would be appearances. We supercede any deity/personified God. We are just nothing inherently. No thoughts or desires (including selfless thoughts), no loving thoughts, nothing.

Probably "Sunyata" will yield interesting results on Google regarding this.
