Well put, this was my training of thought as well.
As a analogy, our body is the Universe. Our fingernails (the moon) do not experience themselves or have any awareness of their own existence. Our mind (a living thing) knows and experiences our fingernails and is aware of its own existence.
Absolutely agreed, these conversations are generally very deep and definitely the Shit Post community is not the best fit for them.
That being said this one idea always resonated with me.
The idea that “we are drops of water joining to create the ocean”, suggesting that individuals are interconnected and form a larger whole, like drops of water merging to create a vast ocean.
Or how’s Ajaan, the Buddhist monk in season 2 of White Lotus phrases it.
“When you were born, you were like a single drop of water separated from the one giant consciousness. You are born, then you die to descend back into the water and become one with the ocean again. No more separated, no more suffering.”

I thought this was beautiful put.
This would all depend on peoples different views or understanding of God. Not everyone in the world may be religious or Christian, but it does not mean their view or understanding of God is any less or more correct then your own.
I don’t considered myself religious, but I do believe in God.
What is God, if not the Universe?
I suppose the next though would be is God apart of the Universe, or do they reside outside of the Universe?
If God were apart of the Universe, did they create themselves and the Universe, or did God themselves come into being at the Universe’s creation? Is God the Universe its self?
That saying that God is all within us, at least to me seems to imply that God is the Universe, and since humans are “created of the stars” we have God within us.
Or alternatively if God resides outside the Universe? Would that imply there is more beyond the Universe or do we simply reside in a “simulation” of sorts.
How else could MAGA stay connected to the tweets if they could not afford the phone?
They would probably start thinking for themselves, if access to the media did not tell them what to think.
If humans are born of the universe, and humans are sentient. Is the universe not its self sentient?
The universe created life, and life experiences the Universe. The universe is thus aware of its self.
This video depicting the concept of the Universe as a egg may also blow your mind.
God is all powerful, but only up to and limited too creating one sentient life form
What about the American people constantly complaining about aliens illegally entering their country? Explain this!
Also given the scale of time of the universe. We as humans have only existed for a small amout of time on the vast scale of things.
Countless alien civilizations may have existed and destroyed themselves, and may others may have not come into existence yet.
I definitely need to rewatch this movie again.
I feel it’s time for a remake, maybe turn the three sisters precogs into 3 AI computers?
Nobody likes a quiter.
We have reviewed our internal policies and found our employees do not share the same values as us.
You misspelled Mandalorian
During covid antivax groups were calling the vaxed groups “sheep”, referring to them as “asleep”.
Now MAGA is calling people woke?
The ven diagram between MAGA and antivax groups is probably a cirlce. I don’t get it, do these people want people awake or asleep?
Is Tom Cruise going to run the program?
Call it Minority Report
Are Spanish and English not both official languages
If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.
It was a little bit on purpose TBH, it leaves some room for though, and broadens the scope or definition of alien life.
We already know organic compounds can survive in space on astroids and comets, and we know these compounds can survive impact with planetary bodies.
What’s to say these same comets have not impacted other planetary bodies in our galaxy, or have traveled between galaxies in our Universe.
Timescales would make it impossible to know if two species on two planetary bodies would evolve at the same time.
