The people I know who are bitcoin billionaires believe they are on a righteous mission from god.

I’m inclined to agree with them.

Everyone is on a mission from the Creator.

Omniscience gets boring after like 2 seconds because there is no discovery or novelty that arises for an omniscient being. Therefore, the Creator opted to explore finite, limited perspectives for eternity.

You and I are apertures through which the Creator experiences limited, finite perspective. Through us, the Creator gets to have experience of limited, finite perspective.

Each of our individual existences itself is a gift to the Creator.

The Creator exists outside of time, therefore He cannot "get bored".

Ok, pedant. Remove the time component and the logic still holds. Omniscience is boring so the Creator seeks the joy of novelty and discovery via limited, finite perspective. “Your” consciousness is really just a firewalled stream of the Creator’s consciousness and your body is composed of Divine matter as is everything.

I still don't think it works. "Omniscience is boring" is not a supported claim and it doesn't seem likely. An omniscient being would simply know how to not be bored without needing to take action.

It sounds like you're trying to find a purpose for life, as in, why was life created? It's simple. God created life because it is good.

All you have to do is think as the Golden Rule tells you to think.

All you have to do is pur yourself into the perspective of "the other".

In this case, apply that ability to the Creator. What types of attributes are commonly assigned to the Creator? All knowing, all wise, all understanding, all loving, all powerful, all merciful, etc.

OK, so what can we logically extract from something being at 100% knowledge?

It has no room for growth. It's already at the 100% mark, i.e. "all" knowing, "all" wise, etc. There's nothing new...nothing to discover. That would be super boring. How would you like nothing new for the rest of your life? How would you like to be starved of discovery for the rest of your life?

You probably wouldn't. Who would? That means no new information at all...no getting inspired into an impassioned state...super boring.

I'm guessing we have different "models" of what the Creator is.

What is your model?

Mine could be approximated with Spinoza's pantheism. God is literally everything...the whole universe...all matter...all consciousness. You and I and literally everything is a subset of the Divine.

Be careful, that line of thinking you might start you believing that we are not seperate from the creator.

That our thoughts, feelings & actions within this 3rd dimensional realm cause ripples throughout the other dimensions.

RedTailHawk 5mo ago

We aren't "separate" from the Creator in the same way that a drop of water is not separate from the ocean. Like the drop of water is to the ocean, we are a subset of the Creator.

Most definitely agree on the ripple effects. I prefer to disambiguate the notion of "alternative partitions of reality" from "geometric, physical measurement axes" like height and width and depth. I'll use the word "density" to describe the alternative partitions of reality".

Brisket 5mo ago

I agree - "density" feels more accurate than "dimension" & avoids a lot of confusion.
