if we're talking about a Theory of Everything the first question we have to establish does God exist yes simple as that the reality has an identity the identity is that as which something exists matter of fact when you say the word reality you're naming an identity it is you're identifying something this I'm I'm smiling because your your answer on this is so beautiful it it just reminds me of of Moses at the burning bush and Moses at the burning bush says who shall I tell the people that you are talking to God and God says
tell them I am that I am that's right I am identity itself I'm being himself exactly that's exactly right that's what the ctmu says it's just comes up with the mathematical structure that you need to build a reality out of that you see so you come up with that identity and then you search it for its properties you see you once you've built the preliminary framework then you start deducing the properties of this identity and you find out that those properties match those of God as described in most of the world's major religions Buddhism Daoism
Hinduism bism of course Hinduism and bism they have a God uh Daoism you know they the their Central principle is the way or the Dao okay and uh they don't see da as as uh as God and then in Buddhism of course you've got you know they they are trying basically to achieve sun or emptiness right which is most Buddhists a lot of Buddhists don't even understand what that's supposed to mean but once again there's no God there you can kind of read God implicitly some Buddhists I've talked to Buddhists who actually think that there
is a God in Buddhism of A Sort but that concept of pure Consciousness is what it is okay and if you ask them well whose Consciousness are you talking about they will point at themselves and say my Consciousness in a way they're you know they kind of attribute the existence of everything to themselves but anyway when you look at what they've they've all got you come down to the same thing everybody has the da or the way you know that's the way reality works right and uh and and everybody you know has sun which is
pure syntax right pure cognition with no instantiation no content right and then you've got what what the abrahamic religions call God it's all the same thing okay but what are its properties okay are its properties such that you can deny the existence of God or are its properties such that God definitely has to exist and the answer is God exists the properties of the central substance and Central principle of reality those properties are attributed to God including of course you know things like you have the three O's omniscience omnipotence and omnipresence but then you've also
got Consciousness God has to be sentient yes you can establish a personal relationship with God we're images of God you know what an image is it's basically the product of a mapping God Maps himself into each human being right that's a very personal thing that God is doing for us right and I don't understand how anybody can say that it's any different we reflect the structure of the universe each one of us we're carried by it everything we do we exist in a medium what is that Medium right where did it come from what holds
it together what is the unifying coherence the source of coherence of that Medium is your claim a pantheistic claim that God is the universe or the universe is God and that's that or no or is God outside of the universe and created God is greater than well what is the universe damned if I know you ever hear the simulation hypothesis yes okay well the simulation hypothesis is basically the idea the reality we see around this physical reality is simulated on some sort of a an automaton or or a or a computer the idea is that
you've got some kind of an automaton running you've got a simulation running on it and God it's more panentheistic you know what pantheism is the idea is that you've got the physical universe that you see around you but God is Not confined to the physical Universe okay an ordinary pantheist thinks assumes that God is somehow confined to the universe that there is just what we see around us and God is in every piece of it God is distributed over it yeah but it's uh it's a little a bit more complex than that because this part
of the universe that we see around us cannot exist just by itself y okay there are certain things that it entails and when you go into those entailments that's how you get to God that's how you get to the identity of reality okay and now to get back to the to the reality self simulation or at least that's what I call it self- simulation but to get back to the simulation hypothesis that we're living in the display of that simulation in addition to the display there is also a processing aspect okay and God captures both
of those things it captures both the display and the processor what what do you mean I I hate to put it in in well I mean okay here's the display you realize the display contains States y okay you see things the objects contain states are static y that's why they're called stat okay static how do they change well they have to be processed something has to process yeah yeah yeah and and in the calculus for example those are tiny little infinitesimal intervals okay but they are not actually contained in the states themselves they have a
neighborhood a little tangent space or what have you you know where you can sort of draw little vectors that suggest that some kind of processing is going on but the idea of being a state and being a process those are two different things y to the in the ordin ordinary way of looking at it okay it turns out that you can't properly describe reality and causation at all unless you put those things together somehow and that's what it takes God to do okay God provides the processing functionality for your state you have an internal State
an external State you're a material human being yeah right like to explain how that is changing through time you and maintaining its coherence through time even as it changes that's what you need God for how do I make sense of Consciousness well ordinarily Quantum mechan you know what quantization is well you decide what the the ultimate irreducible objects are turns out that in order to quantize that theory that I was talking about that that theory of identity where you've got the display and you've got the processor and it's handling both it turns out that in
order to handle both of those things you need a certain kind of quantum that Quantum is called an identity operator God is the identity so obviously these little quantum they have to be they're doing things they're processing so we can call them operators right they are identity operators okay the identity operator has basically it takes input from the outside world recognizes it or accepts it using syntax processes it and then returns it to the world as external State okay so things come in then they are processed right there's throughput which is you could call that
the subjective or internal state of the identity operator and then it's returned to the external universe so what I'm saying is that's Consciousness and I'm saying that Consciousness exists in every part of the universe because those are the quantum no that's that's what I'm asking are you telling me that this table is conscious in that sense yes generically conscious but it's relying on our Consciousness to do it there's levels of Quant okay these are tertiary Quant they're all put together using physical localistic forces right but those are underd determinative they don't fully determine what happens
why the Heisenberg uncertainty principle for example it tells you that you know the the the quantum rules they're probabalistic right they don't actually determine events okay so what determines events we do we don't know how we do it but we do it when everybody's will is put together we're all creating the best possible Universe we can for ourselves and God is what harmonizes all of our different perspectives and makes things happen for all of us at the same time and if we were doing things correctly this would be the best of all possible worlds sadly
however we often times make mistakes and that's what we have to get out of doing but we can't get out of doing it until we understand what reality is what we are and what the relationship between those two things is reality is actually generative okay it's not a fixed manifold everything is being created all the time not just our states our states are being recreated right you know I can cross cross my legs I can uncross my leg that's that's the uh that's The Changing State yeah but uh but the medium around us is changing
when I look at you I'm seeing Michael mes okay I'm seeing you sitting there but that means that I'm seeing your boundary I'm seeing what distinguishes you from the external environment right there's a medium around you so I have to be regenerating that as the same time as I'm regenerating your state in my head okay when I say regenerating there there's a reason I'm doing that I could also say I'm recognizing Michael nolles I'm recognizing your state right now but I'm also recognizing the state of the medium around you because otherwise I wouldn't be able
to distinguish you from the medium and you wouldn't exist at all in the universe everything changes with time you're actually you know in the theory of relativity for example all the points are events y okay and that means that there's a Time parameter involved okay God is outside of time in space well God God is distributes over time in space and there's some left over time and space is static it's a display yeah imagine you're a little homunculus inside a computer display like the Matrix for example okay God not only distributes over that but there's
a whole other domain where God exists and that's the processing domain that's the non-terminal domain in the ctm we're in the terminal domain right and most physicists when they try to reason about the terminal domain they reason under physical confinement okay well I can only look at physics and I have to use what I know about physics what I can observe about physics to explain everything else that I explain so they have that kind of explanatory closure y going right there so speaking of this non-terminal domain in a really basic question do I I'm not
going to ask you if I'm going to go to heaven or hell but will I go to either heaven or hell you will persist after you die okay where you go to depends on who Michael nolles really is I and you would know that better than anybody yeah I I hope I know that better than but you're you're telling me I'm going somewhere yes you're confident of that I don't just uh evaporate I don't just turn into Oblivion well you can if you displease God that's exactly what's going to happen to you God is going
to cut you off and he's going to say it I can't see him anymore he going to turn away from you and then you won't be able to reunite salvation will be impossible for you because salvation means that God has got to pull you back into himself right okay but God doesn't want to see you anymore he doesn't even know you exist he knows your physical body is there but he's not interested anymore because you hate him you deny his existence you offend him so he's not going to look at you right so now what
happens well okay you're dead you still want to live there's something in you that still desperately wants to live so it's still going to be there what happens now well you try to create your own world for yourself but if you're a bad person or you're an evil person what kind of world is that going to be it's going to be an evil world and that's what we call hell this is what John Milton says in the mouth of Satan he says the mind is its own place and it can make a hell of heaven
or Heaven a hell now you got it once again what is reality it's reality just stuff out there no reality has a mental aspect y right and once you admit that basically everything has a metal aspect then of course what's going on in your mind is real it takes on a kind of reality it's not same as physical reality it is nevertheless real are angels and demons real yes yes I think so too is there is there a fear that if you take some of these drugs you might be letting in the wrong guys that's
a problem isn't it and that's a problem that I think a lot of people have encountered you have to be a certain kind of person to be able to handle these drugs and not be sucked under by them okay because once your mind is messed with and that way something else you know it's weakened you know you're not exactly in control anymore something else can come in and grab it and if you open up that Gap that I was talking about what can come into that Gap might not be good for you God is real
angels are real demons are real is the devil real oh yes yes well it has to be you know we were talking about Michael Noles being surrounded by the medium and you know you've got a boundary well God has a boundary too he's got a very tight boundary he's a perfect he's perfect he can't take anything resembling imperfection right he can't take it into himself because that would be a contradiction okay so God needs an antithesis in order to be properly defined what is that antithesis anti- God or Satan so it definitely exists now Satan
isn't coherent because you know he he basically hates existence nevertheless he gains coherence through human beings through secondary Tor as they're called in the ctmu in other words Satan can nucleate power structures for example you know things like corporations and governments where you've got people in there that can be acquired as resources and there's a kind of skeleton you know a corporate organization a governmental you know organization that's holding them together holding them in place that can be exploited I'm saying the devil likes coherence coherence is what brings everything into superposition right with itself in
other words it allows something to this is going to sound a little bit paradoxical allows something to communicate non-locally with itself okay right all of its possible states are in superp position they exist all all at once okay and uh this is this is uh pretty much inescapable [Music]
