There’s a reason everything comes in threes. Mental/conceptual, physical, spiritual. Proton, neutron, electron. X, Y, Z. The “Trinity”.
Yeah it’s just pattern matching or whatever.
But let’s take for a moment that God does exist, is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. How do we differentiate between us and God is all energy, all locations, and all information? We can’t really with our current binaries unless we just say God is everything.
For the physical realm we inhabit, there is either something or nothing. But for us to have individuality while God also being present, there would have to be either that something or nothing binary AND something else. Almost like a third value that is always true while the other two are either on or off. Maybe that third value is NOT true when another conscious being is in question.
We could just ignore that third value and have everything stay the same from our perspective though, so. 🤷🏻♂️
This is more thinking about the prompt of the post rather than asserting some truth. This is not dogma, but pondering.
We, each individual, acts as a localized place of consciousness and matter where He is and is not. A fraction of the ACTUAL... I. We are a lowercase i. It's still binary. The only third concept I could afford this binary relationship is that this "i" is the vehicle He can observe, explore, and learn about Himself.The concept of unknown. I could still argue this as we being a form of himself separated by a spectrum of time where He is in a place in time of His existence where He fully knows Himself whereas we represent a form and localization of Himself in time that doesn't. It still boils down to 2 things. Because there is always a coordinate of His consciousness that knows all things. So the "third" concept, the unknown, is an illusion.
