It's evolving toward becoming love, lowering its entropy. Yes. And that, you know, we're chips off the old block, right? And the image... You know, okay, we're virtual machines, part of it in there. And you can go through all these other things and it just fits like a glove. Matter of fact, I was giving a talk in Atlanta in a church because that was a cheap venue.

And I had two doctors of divinity there. sitting in the audience, and I knew that. It was the pastor and the assistant pastor of this fairly big church. So I put them on the spot. I said, hey, guys, you have doctorates in divinity. Tell me, what are the attributes of God? I'm not looking for anything that's dogmatic. I'm just looking for general attributes. What is God like?

What are the attributes? And they huddled. In about 10 minutes, they came up with a list of like six things that were the basic attributes of God. Every one of them was a basic attribute of the larger consciousness system. So what were those? Oh, geez, now you're putting me on the spot there. That was probably...

15 years ago, basic things like awareness of what's going on, not necessarily omniscience, but awareness of whatever, kind of the originator, the source. That was another one. Well, that fits. It's the source. Yes, it's aware. We're all subsets of it, so it knows what we're thinking and what we're doing and that kind of stuff.

Another one was โ it was about love and caring and brotherhood and all that kind of thing as opposed to being grabby and selfish and greedy. Yeah, it was that too because it's whole entropy reduction thing in a social system is the word cooperation and caring. And it was those kinds of things that they went through. I don't know. I just got three of them, what the other one was.

But there was a few things that people associate with God that this system doesn't have. It's not supernatural. It's a natural system. It's not perfect. It's still evolving. It's still changing. It's still in a state of becoming. It's not infinite because nothing real can be infinite. Infinity is only a concept. It's not a thing. You can never get to infinity.

It's something you can get asymptotic to, but you can't ever actually get there just by definition. So it's not... It's not instantaneously all knowing of everything because it has to focus just like we do. If it wants to be aware of what you're thinking then it has to kind of focus on what you're thinking. It focuses by intention just like we do. So it has all the information available to it
