Does God's consciousness differ a cause already put in place ?
Impermanence is just an effect ?
Complete impermanence has no permanence to scatter ?
Multiverse would only be an impermanence of the Universe ?
God would be the cause of evolution as well ?
Does God just put good karma evolution into place considering all
identities ?
Those identities are the parts of God/Universe ?
God is an identity to consider ?
Here are some of my lately thoughts ...
Isn't "thoughts" rather a grand term for what you post?

Semantic incongruity attracts attention at a pre-conscious
level: Evidence from a TMS study

Crude reduction: if shown two photographs of a typical suburban
backyard, one with a dog and one with a tiger, most people are
more likely to take quick notice of the tiger than the dog
because of what is termed a semantic incongruity. That's fancy
terminology for a context mismatch. Dogs are a commonly
occurring feature of suburban backyards while tigers are not.
It could also be that, while dogs are generally companion
but *may* be dangerous to humans, tigers definitely are.
"Key on the threat" is fairly well documented.
Extending this, many who read Dale's "thoughts" will have their
attention shocked by the tigers scattered throughout. It is
much the same if you read someone writing about smelling colors,
or seeing scents.
Dale's "thoughts" could well be nonexistent.
It appears that the reaction to such things arises at a pre-
conscious level and would normally be filtered out by processing
of a normal healthy mind that was composing a set of thoughts.
Some consciously push against such filtering, with or without
the aid of psychoactive pharmaceuticals. This is perhaps good
for some poets but dangerous in the hands of Vogons.
A lack of semantic filtering seems like a good diagnostic of
some challenging neurological conditions. Are the incongruities
not noticed? Noticed but not filtered?
It might all seem like navel gazing if it weren't for some very
significant examples of semantic incongruities frequently
spewing forth from Executive Functionaries with little apparent
executive function (non-functioning filters). Bigly.
Biden's gone, let him rest in peace.
