That's for the theist to answer.
Quote: Just as the underpinnings of consciousness are to be found in the brain, so too will this "greater consciousness".
This comparison suggests that the universe is in fact the brain of God. I don't think that's what you meant to say..?
Quote: If it isn't supported in our brains then it has no place in this universe at all. Why turn down such a location for gods? Maybe you gods are in here. Consciousness is not unitary. There is plenty of room for your gods right on board that noggin of yours. You know, I and I.
Oh wait, are you saying God should be able to be found in our consciousness??? Consciousness is not unitary??? Are you a schizophrenic by any chance?
Nope. But why do you assume your consciousness is unitary? Where do your flights of imagination come from or your dreams? Do you consciously take responsibility and credit for everything that goes on in your head? This is such a strong cultural bias and a huge blind spot. Of course consciousness is fragmentary. Conscious you is just a tool of your greater consciousness. Try not to wet yourself over it but you really aren't the whole show; however you are free to be consciously confused about all this ... as you pretty much have to be until you get some perspective.
