Is god conscious of the entire universe?

Interesting. What do you think of spirituality? Nonduality ? Idealism ? The hard proplem of consciousness? The origin of the universe? The existence of God or spiritual realms ?

Teaching and tutoring are secondary. The first thing is doing research, for example, if there's a project—not just a few phrases, but a specific task. The second thing is, for example, writing articles, but I don't really like that because it's mostly about money. That is, some people publish without even fully researching something, just to get funding, and there are even cases of fraud. I don't like that kind of thing.
What do I think about the hard problem of consciousness? This isn't a question for physicists, but for neuroscientists, of course, but I'll answer. There are various problems of consciousness, they're mostly described, they're solvable problems of consciousness, BUT, one thing stands out—the so-called hard problem of consciousness (qualia). And this problem really exists, it's not just some "I'll have it this way" idea. In my opinion, this problem isn't hard, as many believe, but insoluble, fundamentally insoluble, not because it can't be solved, but simply because it's impossible, no matter how powerful one's intellect and knowledge. You could say this is a question outside of our universe.
What do I think about spirituality? What kind? I don't think anything at all; it doesn't interest me.
What do I think about God? Well, let me put it this way: if I suddenly imagined that I only knew the words Universe, Reality, Being, Existence, Truth, Consciousness, God. Knowing only these seven names and nothing else, I would call it God. And of course, that's if I limited myself to just these seven words; it's not. It's neither one nor the other.

The hard proplem of consciousness simply means that materialism claims the universe is fundamentally unconscious and consciousness is only an emergent phenomenon which comes about from unconscious matter.  Science has no clue how is this even possible.

Sorry, I'm probably just sleeping.
So. This phrase about something or someone asserting something, who asserts it? It seems taken out of context. Some blogger asserting it? Or a school teacher? What materialism? Or is it asserted in feature films? Or is it simply someone's personal experience that asserts it?

Does "emergence" mean anything? Emergence is the emergence of completely new properties that "things," so to speak, didn't have before they began interacting. The concept of emergence can be applied to anything. For example, a crowd of people, a society of some kind, develops completely new properties that are not inherent to individuals, even properties of certain computing programs. That's emergence.
And the idea that we're just a bunch of unconscious matter gathering to form emergent consciousness—well, that's an extremely oversimplified answer...

So, I'll answer the author's question . Is God self-aware? He is, in essence, the Most Self-Aware, and that includes through you.

So lets talk about this insane subject.

The Universe is billions and billions of lightyears big, if not even more, it expands in an accelerating speed faster than the speed of light.

Just imagine, galaxies, suns lot of times bigger than our sun in billions of lightyears away from us, gazillions of them. The mind is absolutely too weak to even slightly comprehend the vastness of our universe.

Our sun and our planet are just a single grain of sand in all the sands on earth, if not even on other planets.

Light travels 7,5 times in a second around the eart, now imagine travelling billions of years with that speed, its ridiculously vast and never will anybody ever understand the slightest bits of it.

 

So is god/consciousness seriously consciouss of absolutely every possible thing in the universe for all the billions and billions of lightyears, planets, stars, elements, minerals and so on and so forth?

 

Well, if we think of consciousness being conscious of every single ant and every on of their cells and all types of minerals and plants and animals on earth and more than that, and that consciousness if infinite, the answer should actually be yes, which is just mindblowing, what do you think?

Two things are happening here, first imagining a universe that exist outside of your sensory experience in the NOW!

Second imagining a God separate from you that is conscious of an objective world and you are also included that's why you have an experience!

These are work of the mind! These are pure imaginations! These are not true because they cannot ever be verified directly by you! 

Never! You can only believe that that would be the case! 

Absolute Truth is in the Now! 

Truth is true anytime!

This joke only you understand, others laugh just to feel included in the genius mysterious club with you.

Uhm actually I'm a member of that club, and I'll let you into the secret meaning of Leo's comment:




From Leo's blog post: Strange Loop Cat

It's a psychedelic vision of Leo's putting an image to the situation you find yourself in when you seek ultimate holistic understanding of reality.

I suspect he was secretly eluding to this post as an answer to this thread's inquiry.

@Schahin Yes, God has omniscience

God is the entire Universe, and for me to say that, I would have to be conscious—alien infinite Purrs for forever.

Life is not the mystery to solve, it is for live to love, love to live.

Life happens trough God, yet out of control.

Life is a gift, yet God is always now, either life is exist or not. 

 

[James123]

God is genuinely not knowing.

Even if you not know for a second, life disseappears.
