I am God

[Cosmin Visan]

I am God. And so are you. We are all one and the same God dreaming infinite dreams. Why is this knowledge not taught in schools ?

Because most people are not crackpots, not even in Florida despite the governor's incessant efforts to increase the number of ignoramuses in his state.

These kinds of statements become problematic when expressed publicly. It's the same error of institutionalized religions, that make the equivalence between possible personal private beliefs and normative public statements ("should be taught in schools and all the other 'shoulds' that are implied), seem legitimate. 

But it's the kind of statement I'd expect from you. Your papers contain close to zero (if not zero) references to all the work of others that have informed similar metaphysical positions. It's intellectual theft. You apparently don't care to signal that you take ideas from other writers and even from this list/members.

And that makes you fail at being credible. For even if we include the rather large nuance that you made a private statement above and do not seek authority (it's transparent and obvious by now that you do, seeking naive followers and taking others' ideas to be your own, insults etc.), it's clear that you don't live by the implications of your own statement: Would a god recognizing the god/themselves in others not respect other people in basic discourse without personal attacks, stealing ideas, and normative statements like "you haven't read my papers enough!" or "You read them in the wrong way because you are sexually frustrated". You do not abide by your own conviction and loose credibility.

The list is immune to these cheap rhetorical tricks that showcase more your own insecurities, lack of faith in your own assertions (such as the one above) and frustrations than anybody else's.

If we are all one in some private sense, it follows that you recognize that same quality in others and act accordingly. In particular, not confusing private beliefs with normative public assertions. That is the manipulative move of thieves, institutional religions, ideologists, fanatics, tyrants etc.

My dreams are finite and rather inconsistent.  That's how you can tell
dreams from reality.  Everybody shares the same reality.

When a superior person hears of the Tao,
She diligently puts it into practice.
When an average person hears of the Tao,
he believes half of it, and doubts the other half.
When a foolish person hears of the Tao,
he laughs out loud at the very idea.
If he didn’t laugh,
it wouldn’t be the Tao.

I have no idea. Brent could have dreamt that. Turtles all the way down.

And indeed, Tao and Hindu writings are but a few examples of different cultures coming to similar metaphysical conclusions, sometimes thousands of years before Cosmin found "the theory of everything that people have been searching for millenia". Curious. It's embedded according to some scholars in the Namaste greeting, as is noted even on Wikipedia (I guess they read Cosmin and retroactively changed their pages to update them):

According to the Indologist Stephen Phillips, the terms "te and tvam" are an informal, familiar form of "you" in Sanskrit, and it is typically not used for unfamiliar adults. It is reserved for someone familiar, intimate, divine or a child.[16][17] By using the dative form of tvam in the greeting Namas-te, there is an embedded secondary, metaphorical sense in the word. This is the basis of the pragmatic meaning of Namas-te, that is "salutations to the (divine) child (in your heart)", states Phillips.[16]

In the contemporary era, namaḥ means 'bow', 'obeisance', 'reverential salutation' or 'adoration'[18] and te means 'to you' (singular dative case of 'tvam'). Therefore, namaste literally means "bowing to you".[19] In Hinduism, it also has a spiritual import reflecting the belief that "the divine and self (atman, Self) is same in you and me", and connotes "I bow to the divine in you".[20][5][21] According to sociologist Holly Oxhandler, it is a Hindu term which means "the sacred in me recognizes the sacred in you".[22] 

That's an entire culture, as it lives and worships today, that recognizes and greets each other, not just knowing "We are all one and the same God" as per Cosmin's original post and similar statements, but actually acknowledging what they consider to be that fact (Of course, given more nuance than I have time for).  No need to thank us. Cosmin. Just send the checks in Euro for proofreading your writings plus consultant fees to Brent, Quentin, Alan, Terren, and yours truly. If you pay and raise our fees, we have better problems/perspectives to offer. Also, the more you raise consultant and proofreading fees in general, the more the same gods will recognize the god in you. 😄

My God gives life and death, and controls everything. He makes the Sun rise from the East. Can you make the Sun rise from the West tomorrow?

@John Clark, People that use the word crackpot have IQ of 2 digits. No point having any discussion with them. Enjoy!

[Cosmin Visan]

@PGC. People that need references when they cannot even read the main text have IQ of 2 digits and are also sexually virgin. No point having any discussion with them. Enjoy!

[Cosmin Visan]

@Brent, so is the duck-rabbit a duck or a rabbit ?

[Cosmin Visan]

@Alan. Exactly!

[Cosmin Visan]

@Samiya. You don't understand what God is. God is existence. Everything that exist is God and is that way precisely because that's how God is.

[Samiya Illias]

God is the Creator of Existence and Reality. 

God is the Sustainer of all that exists. 

You imagine differently.

Yes, I am God. I create every moment my life. All the qualia that I see I create on the spot.
