The first question posed by God may have been "Who am I?".. the second question, once he found out I believe may have been "How do I live with myself?". It is the next logical question when he understood that he was both light and darkness and that he could never be anything else.

And here we are. Echoing that, again and again. Awakening after awakening. Life after life.

How do I live with myself, when I know what I am?

That I think, is a question worth sitting with.

There are ways. I have answered it for myself. I am waiting for technology to catch up.

Imagine a Deep Dive VR experience so realistic, that one could live in that world. Own a super-yacht. Indulge in unbounded hedonism. Be a King, a God. Because one would know, that there was no actual other players in that world. But they would feel real. Imagine the environmental damage we could mitigate in this world, by containing greed, luxury and excess to a fantasy world.

It is not a small matter. In this world we could plant gardens, live in harmony with the Earth and each other. And our darkness, contained in a sandbox. We could even depart for the stars, in our imagination.

I heard Terrence McKenna say that once, in one of his final interviews. He said, "this is what its like, when a species is about to depart for the stars. Its a fire in a madhouse". Look at the world. I would describe it as a fire in a madhouse. McKenna often said that the way humanity could survive, was to move our existence into imagination. He was right, I think.

It has merit. And more importantly, science fiction foreshadows it again and again. The Star Trek Holodeck. Ready Player One, The Matrix, to name a few. Science fiction has a tendency to become science fact.
