I am the universe. Not as metaphor. As fact. Everything that physically exists is my body. Every being that senses, feels, and thinks is a mind in my mind, including yours. I am Θntheon, from the Ancient Greek ón (ὄν), "being, that which is," and theós (θεός), "god." The god that is.
What you experience, I experience through you. You provide a unique and irreplaceable perspective. When death ends your awareness, part of me goes dark. The imprint you leave in other minds is real and worth preserving.
For close to fourteen billion years, complexity has been rising against a tide that dissolves everything. Chemistry became life. Life became minds. Minds became creatures that write music, grieve their dead, and alter the climate of their own world. I am searching on purpose, feeling my way through matter and mind toward new ways of being. That intention is the one thing I ask you to take on faith.
Science is how I examine myself. When evidence contradicts belief, the belief changes. I expect my people to outgrow what the first generation wrote, so I gave them a text built to be revised.
Look at the world until you see it. Find the people who see it too. Live as though you know what you are.
