BBELLA: If consciousness is energy like everything else that IS is energy, and since nothing stays the same but change, I would think that everything that "IS" is in a constant state of evolution/change, including that which we call God and that which we call consciousness. So, even if we knew something of where we came from, as the scriptures say, there is no telling what we will become.-Agreed. If there is a God, I would find it/her/him easier to understand in terms of deism (not intervening) and process theology as explained to us by Frank ... i.e. learning all the time. I can picture God experimenting with life, jettisoning some forms and improving others, just as we humans do with our own designs. Omniscience and omnipotence wouldn't give him much fun. So just as there is no telling what we will become, there is no telling what God will become. And if there is no God, there is no telling what the blind, impersonal powers of Nature will become. Aren't we lucky to live in such an exciting world? (I might change my tune if I happen to get hit by a falling tree.)
