I have recently been introduced to an entirely new concept of heaven and earth...at least new to me. What if the sole purpose of our existence is to produce data for God's memory bank? This would make us eternal beings as long as the memory doesn't get flushed. I suppose that is reserved for bad memories (those produced by sinners). Of course I know little of this concept and wonder if there is anyone out there that can provide more information. :)
For instance, if the universe is the mind of God, then we really don't know if we are being written to memory or being read from memory, do we? Have we already lived and are simply being recalled or is this life the initial run? Could this have anything to do with deja vu?

Suppose you could download your mind into a computer. When you ran this program, that program would think it was you, right? So what happens when a computer runs a program? It fetches an instruction one at a time and follows that instruction. Maybe it adds a number. Maybe it stores the result in another place in memory. It is possible to code a program into a book, and let someone read the book to simulate a microprocessor running a program. Now imagine that book is the program which is my previously downloaded mind. When you flip through the pages doing all the instructions, you may be Bishop Rick, but if you do everything correctly you are Teresita Mercado, because that's my downloaded mind. Sound silly? It is. Minds are not algorithmic at all. They are cities of living neurons, all talking to each other at once, and you can never code that into a linear procedure.
OK, so if God is creating billions of independent thinking beings then it makes perfect sense for God not to interfere. That would alter the experience and trend towards redundancy.

Teresita and Bishop Rick saw many angels and archangels flying around the throne and the lamb and the dominions. Teresita took flight with them, and bade Bishop Rick to stay close to her. And they flew out from the throne in a fountain of billions of angels, and Bishop Rick turned to see a great hypersphere of beings composed of many such fountains, some jetting up, some falling back.
He asked Teresita, “Sophia is the Creatrix?”
“No, but she is the greatest being I have seen yet. There are greater still.”
“You mean you haven’t seen the Creatrix?”
“Bishop Rick, you don’t get it yet, do you? You’re a piece of the Creatrix. I’m a piece of the Creatrix. This whole giant city of angels is the Creatrix.”
I am a tiny finite component of an eternal Creatrix. But I'm not like a cell or neuron that dies and gets replaced. If that were true, the Creatrix would not have total recall. So in this sense, I am eternal, but only at the whim of the Creatrix who is neither male nor female and isn't gender biased thus opening the door for love and attraction to one's polar opposite which could be of the same gender since polarity is not gender specific.

You make Her sound more capricious than She really is. Her whims are motivated by love.
...thus opening the door for love and attraction to one's polar opposite which could be of the same gender since polarity is not gender specific.
For most people, even gays and lesbians, opposites do attract, so you get your nonsense with roles, stone butch to stone femme and everything in between. A very few people are attracted to the same. My girlfriend looks and dresses like me (but she votes funny and prefers the television to the computer). Even now I cast my net out into cyberspace, where we don't wear bodies, to find the same kind of mind.
That is one of the drawbacks to blogging. When you read someone's words, you can only suppose the thoughts behind them. You can't see their eyes or get immediate feedback.
My "...whim..." statement was not intended to be capricious, but I can see now how it would be taken that way.
And you in turn overreacted to my reaction, as though I was upset.
And this might be another overreaction.
And so on. Ad infinitum.
True, but what does any of this have to do with Linux?
