You are the only thought in the mind of God

"Don't be ridiculous. God probably doesn't even know I exist," I hear you say. "Au contraire, mon Amie," for the briefest of moments, you are the only thing that exists, the only thought in God's mind. Let me explain. 

TV and video, moving pictures, don't really move, as you probably know. What we perceive as moving images is really a series of still images flashed before our eyes sufficiently quickly to appear as continuous movement to our brains. I believe that anything above 30 Frames Per Second (FPS) is sufficient. 

A computer works in a somewhat similar manner; a Von Neumann machine; sequentially processing one 'instruction' at a time and, thus, changing the state of the whole machine each processor 'tick'. 

Lost? Imagine you are in your kitchen about to bake a cake. The first 'instruction' might be, "Get 200g flour. So, the state of your kitchen work-surface changes from empty to having 200g of flour on it. Each step of the recipe will change the state of your kitchen and you could film it, one frame at a time. 

You can only think one thought at a time. You might think that you can think of several things at once, but you can't. Go ahead, think of an elephant and think of a giraffe. 

Maybe you can visualize both of them standing next to each other but that's not what I mean. You can think of the elephant, then, you stop thinking about the elephant and think about the giraffe, and you switch back and forth between them.

It's much easier to do this in words. To describe them walking you would say something like, "the elephant lifts it's front right leg and the giraffe places it's left rear leg down." These are separate actions. First you described what the elephant did then, you stopped describing the elephant and described the giraffe. 

So, what if God describes a small State change for you, then describes a small state change for me, then describes a small state change for John, then describes a small state change for Mary, then describes a small state change for... until everything in the Universe is processed, then He goes back and does it all again, Ad infinitum, so fast that we can't (yet) detect it? 

This is not ridiculous or outlandish, some quantum physicists already think something similar. 

So, as I said earlier, for one Universal 'frame' the only thing that occupies God's attention, the only thing on God's mind, is YOU. For one brief period, you have God's undivided attention. 

Use your time-slice well. 

Love and peace!
