@Ponder Points My ontology shares much with this but also diverges, my view of God is that of an infinite consciousness outside of space and time, everything is emergent from that, we are not apart from God we are an emergent part OF God, that emergence in my theory happens through quantum entanglement, when a quantum state collapses if you believe the Copenhagen interpretation, I don't, I believe a path in a 4D block universe is selected, but that's immaterial to the point, the point is in my view the outcome of this collapse the resulting measurement is not random it is chosen by the underlying consciousness, and it does this by selecting a point on a 4D sphere in Hilbert space, that sphere is sized at the Planck length and is the reason for the pixelization of the universe, the conscious side can access this quantum object informationally, just four coordinates that represent a point on the sphere and on the physical side, this translates into a 4D or 3D+T depending upon perspective geometric point. We are not individual consciousnesses so far as our experiential layer goes we are a bit of base consciousness, but our locus of experience and action is determined by where our emergent bodies are and where they collect sensory data from and feed it to base consciousness via microtubule quantum entanglement thus allowing the base consciousness to experience qualia. What follows from this is we are all part of the same consciousness, when we hurt each other we hurt ourselves.
