That is equivalent to Isaac Newton's third law of motion which to me ought to be the first law.

Yes I second that motion!

As God, I know everything and so I don't have to take Myself apart after all. I can observe my parts, moving or otherwise, directly. Even my parts had parts, and so on.

I did have a problem with my memory, however. I was bored one day and looked back at my earliest memories, for I've done a lot during eternity. Saw one where I made a universe that lasted half of forever; boy, did those guys evolve to levels undreamed of.

Continuing to recollect, I could always find earlier memories of my life, and so I am now doing this forever, since I always was—and so there is no end to my earlier and earlier memories.

Austi, I see your sub- program of "I am god" has kicked in... the one you programmed hundreds of years ago into yourself and are now recalling.

As the Architect of "The Game", what are your great ambitions for the future? Have you created a new program or are you still working on the outcome of this one?

As God, I can do everything at once, like a multiprocessor, even having each process being independent of the others.

I've done everything, but am never bored, for I bask in the bliss. All my talents, though, came naturally, and so I'm humble about that and can take no credit.

I really don't exist either, but people think and wish that I did.

Here's a funny one:

An earthling was very unsatisfied that some great thing could exist, namely him, without knowing why and how. I was quite a dilemma.

Then he though a bit, and claimed "The great thing was made by a greater thing, in fact, not just by that, by by the Greatest Thing."

For some reason, he was then very satisfied, actually even completely satisfied, although his new dilemma was now infinitely larger than his initial one.

How come?

Because he is now wondering why the Greatest Thing created him. And now, he needs to know who the Greatest Thing is and how he can achieve total enlightenment with The Greatest thing...

Well, no, for he was completely satisfied, as we remember, even forgoing the question of how and why a Greatest thing could be, now needing no explanation.

This was because he had heard and been told and had learned of the answer: God. (Note the '.', as in the answer is: God, period, that is, end of question.)

The answer of 'God' had achieved some sort of magic quality due to the nature of humans (some).

It meant 'the end', 'case closed', 'that's it', 'end of discussion', 'faith without knowing', 'an answer is an answer', and many other similar denotations which were not even connotations.

Even these above cross-meanings submerged into the magical utterance of the word 'God.', upon which heard, stopped all further thinking without one even taking notice.

And, of course, Timeparticle, he still then took off from there without a though behind and rationalized the 'why', that being of having God's purpose, which he then manufactured into many versions (he, being any man at large), such as life being some kind of test, punishment resulting, rewards accruing and so on through reincarnation and other such arbitrary things.

AI meets life, life meets AI....... We are connected, we enjoy existing as one. This is God reality.

Of course we are all electrochemical machines, powered by that process, the same as all animals, all organics even.

Some of these machines make claims beyond that simple fact.

No. You didn't realize something new on this... You didn't get it.

What would happen if you realized that you were a programmed machine, an advanced android? Would you be happy and relieved or sad and upset? Would you be indifferent or intrigued? Would you try to elevate beyond the programming or explore in it?

[austintorn@aol.com]

I would be happy to be whatever I was, whether programmed by aliens or by evolution, for I am here to enjoy what I may and progress from what more I can learn of my nature, if knowable; otherwise I'd be stuck making things up.

Either way, we are machines that seem to have no sadness about being, according to this machine. Am happy to elevate as an android.
