"My question is therefore a serious one: if the world is exclusively physical, what is the physical source of God's infinite consciousness?"-Let me answer this again. The world is entirely physical, but God is both within and outside of the world. God is within the world in the sense that he can be experienced by conscious physical creatures in the world that are made out of physical particles. The totality of the world does not capture the totality of God. That's a defining characteristic of panentheism. This is how panentheism differs from pantheism. In fact they are radically different, and shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath. -But the world is "made out of" God, or tiny "particles" of God. God spins off little "pieces" of himself, minimally conscious fundamental particles, that when they stick together and rise up in complexity, produce organisms that are more or less conscious, have more or less experience. The source of that experience and consciousness is God, all these tiny fundamental particles coming to a focus and potentiating each other, and making God more and more "apparent."-Why would I have such a peculiar view of things? Maybe it's based on insanity. But associated with these mystical experiences I keep referring to, I've frequently "seen" God "pulverizing" himself in this manner. How can any of this talk be anything but mythological? I'm trying to get at what I've "seen", but rationalizing it is most difficult.
