I have finally worked out that I must be God.
Sitting back with head resting against a wall I decided to ponder the great mysteries of the universe. Namely from wench it came. No having a convincing answer I need to know why I did not know and even in that I did not know. Yet know something is better than knowing nothing. Or is it.
Great minds have often told me that the more I know the less I know because knowledge is a trap. Knowledge is infinite to learn anything is finite. If you divide infinity by a finite number the answer is always zero. So therefore by knowing something I automatically don’t know anything. By being in the position of knowing nothing suddenly know everything. Infinity divided by infinity and all that stuff.
Yet knowledge about the great mysteries is nothing if no mysteries exist. Do I exist?
Of course I do or I would not be having this conversation with myself.
Are you sure about that? You could be talking to another entity that you think is you but is not you. Oh, now my head hurts now.
I could pretend that I don’t exist and see if I disappear. Nope still here, so something that I call me must exist for me to doubt that it ever did.
Now what else can prove exists by doubting it does?
Pixies exist. Because I can doubt their existence they must exist for me to doubt them. QED.
Not so easy. Where are those pixies BTW?
Oh, Bugger, I never thought of that.
And what about the rest of the universe?
Sorry?
You know, the universe, the stuff around you. How do you know that exists?
That’s easy I can, see it. I have five senses in all.
You see it through eyes that are connected by circuits to tell you mind what those signal say they are. Is that right?
Um yes.
So what happens if they are telling lies? You are being told that there is a universe when in fact it is just a trick of wiring. What if there is no circuits and all this is just some kind of dream.
Oh Crap. I need to think about that one......
So I thought for a while not bother to argue with myself in case I inflamed my own imagined temper and knocked my own imagined block off. Then I suddenly realised that it must be all true.
If I can only prove my own existence then I must be the only thing in existence.
The universe must be a figment of my imagination that unknowingly created.
The only one who can create the universe must be a supreme being so there for I am god.
Start worshiping everyone.
hmmmm

I mean crikey, you may have created all the company you can stand now that you've joined with the gods and there may be rules against fraternization, or at least a psych evaluation . . .

Thanks for your comments.
I will grant you new eyes as soon as I can work out how to create those.

Thanks for your comments.
Hmmm tricky...
I would say yes because who would I boast about being god to.
Then again you could be a rival god or part of a collective consciousness that is totally confused about its single identity.
Hmmm. Tricky....

But in the contest of who is God.
I said it first.

Thanks for your comments.
Sorry but this God is busy at the moment listening to everyone moaning about why the other gods haven't done anything for them lately.
Ask not what your god can do for you but ask what you can do for your god.

But if you do spare some thought, you'll realize how obscure and foolish this is. No-one will stay rooted in the belief that everything's maya if they're chased by a Bengal Tiger, and if they do, the claws will hurt, no mistake about that.
The world is pretty real, and what we see in it exists even without our perceptions of it. But who am I, the perceiver? I am a part of the Eternal. Not God, but a part of God, the same way my finger is a part of me. This illustrates the tattva traya (three realities), namely: cit (the perceiver), acit (the insentient objects) and Brahman (God).
Everything is accounted for: animals, insects, trees, plants... the exact number of these species is also provided for in the Puranas.
There's nothing transcendental about the God-question Damo... and that's something that puts many people off Vedic philosophy, because they'll probably have expected something life-changing.

This is starting to sound like the Clash of the Titans.

I think Richard Bach used a similar line of reasoning when he wrote "Illusions".
I like the odd ways of looking the world because they tend to add much amusement.
I might have to do a bit of reading up on Advaita and Maya sometime in the future.
BTW I deleted your double post.

Can you please imagine me a Playstation 3?
And an extra 3 inches?
Thanks in advance.

Playstation is an illusion.
By the time you to version 3 the illusion is 3 times.
You buy PS1 thinking, "ah I finally have one."
But then you realize that you really wanted PS2.
Yet as you get a PS2 the PS3 becomes available and so on and so forth. You are aiming at PS Nirvana merely to find that you cannot get the really cool games to work any more.

Thanks for your comments and compliments.
I tend to find the stuff I spend no time think about gets the best responses.

Good luck

I must have been drinking a lot of beer when I wrote this.
I did double check the maths before i wrote it. If you you a search on google you will find a site that explains what happens if you divide infinite with a finite number.
I am am no deep philosophical thinker, I just enjoy the mental treadmill once in a while. However I do know when to get off and go back to the real world where people are happier.
