An Idea of "God" with Pseudo-Pantheism
I would consider myself an atheist but recently I feel I may have to change that label because of what I was thinking...
So I was just sitting around thinking and I was perceiving the concept of "self" within the universe. And I asked myself what distinguishes my own being from another persons being. The obvious answer is we are separate entities and therefore separate people. However, the concept of "space" (a location of nothing) is literally impossible and is a man made delusion of the senses. Science and philosophy tells us (if I'm not mistaken) that "nothing" cannot exist (ex nihilo nihil), this means there is no space between anything and for all intensive purposes, every single thing is connected at one point or another. In order for things to be separate there must be some point of isolation, one does not exist. From this knowledge that theres only "being" and not "nothingness" we can conclude that everything is one being, one massive form of pure existence. Although we perceive ourselves as individuals we are still interconnected with every aspect of the world.
When you take a thing, such as person, any object for that matter, and boil it down to what it is, what you come up with are sub-particles (electrons, protons, neutrons) which if I remember correctly are hypothesized to be just pure energy of some form or something abstract along those lines. So if you boil down every object and thing in the universe what it would come down to is one massive energy structure with no definite end or beginning. This is what we would call pure being, noumenon, thing in themselves.
Now what does this all mean? If everything is connected than everything is simply one thing. That one thing is pure existence, pure knowledge (distributed amongst every "individual" organism), all powerful, pure energy. We all have a conception of a higher being because we are intertwined within that pure being, we make the sum of the parts.
This thing is not "god" its just pure existence. So, its like god but not in any cognizant self-aware sense. This is why everything (in my opinion) in terms of ethics and absolute truths is completely subjective and relative to the observer. There is no possible way to validate my opinion over another person's opinion because since we are incorporated into the same being our opinions can be both correct and wrong. Everything in life is self-contradictory and our existence is no different.
Think about it, once we die, we decompose and become something else and our matter is forever changing and becoming, we live eternally, not as our human persona's but our matter is always present. Science tells us matter cannot be created or destroyed. Our conception of our existence dies but never our existence in itself.
Now the obvious way to refute this would be to say "If we're all powerful than how come we cannot know all of this and do what we want" but to counter that refute its as simple as realizing that we have a misconception of god as this single humanesque being who acts like we do. However, this is not the case. Our "god"/existence electron thing simply holds within it all the power of the world and all the knowledge in the world and the world itself. The ability to use it is irrelevant of its capacity and power.
This seems pretty logical from my standpoint but I'm just posting this to find any flaws so feel free to point them out and I'll do my best to refute them if possible.
