To explain why we can define God to affirm his existence!

My argument is that what we love cannot be just the mask that others put or what we or others tell ourselves we are. It has to be something real.

Your vision of what it means for something to be real is of no consequence. You use the word 'real' like people proclaiming NDEs are real do, it is a vision clouded by a lack of awareness of its own subjective interpretation of what it means for something to be 'real'. Why does it have to be 'real' in the sense in which you mean it's real? It doesn't have to be. There are other solutions to the puzzle that disturbs you, but you won't acknowledge them. That is a stubborness on your part, nothing more. Your ignorance and delusion do not make a positive contribution to the subject. You are possessed by 'truths' that only you can see. That is the hallmark of delusion. Regardless, nothing you have said contravenes my point that you are making an argument from ignorance, and your conclusions can thus be dismissed.

The subjective you created by a brain that has no authority on who you truly are, neither to judge, neither to order you!

More appeal to consequences.

The phenomena of trust invalidates your speculations. It is the facing of doubt in our judgement of who the other is. The phenomena of trust makes plain that our judgements are uncertain and based in subjectivity.

You keep asserting things that you believe but do not 'know'. This is dishonest and a sign of the weakness of your vision.
