Because we are finite (pieces of infinity) we are all different. Going from the point of view that God is infinite; would God have a personality? If we also became infinite, would we still be who we are? Or would infinity make us become exactly like God?
Nah, nah he wouldn't, black coffee...white bread....black or white car....he'd be pretty bland alright.
Well, seeing as personality is derivative of 'personhood', God has a "personality", because God is a person, that is, a mind, an infinite mind, who has an essence. To think of God's essence or innate disposition, that is to say, God's "ambiance", within and according to the context of the ambiance and disposition of a you or an I is to conflate, and distort, the infinite gap which separates finitude and infinitude. Imo, man can only relate to God through the embodiment of His laws (and a purity of heart); thus, man cannot relate wholly to God on a purely psychological plane.
But if there was a different infinity (a person becoming God) would that person retain the qualities of what makes them unique? Or would becoming infinite make them become exactly as God is? (Lose their individual personality)
Your confusion, imho, arises because of your equivocal usage of the term 'infinite'. So, yes, I do believe that humans can become immortal, that is to say, ever-lasting beings, without losing their personal qualities... why would they? You need to realize that a human's particularity isn't because of his or her personality or characteristics, per se, but because they are a person or subject - an individual person or subject; meaning, you, you are a unique, and subtilised, observer unto yourself without exact resemblance to any other observer. "for all the predicates of an internal sense refer to the self, as a subject, and I cannot conceive of myself as the predicate of any other subject." Did not God say that he shall make 'man' in his likeness? He clearly didn't say that he will make man tantamount with himself, but that man will be created in the his "likeness" -- a reflection of a thing and thing are not one and the same, are they? Also, why are you suggesting that God doesn't have an individual personality? God is the only One with whom we can attribute pure and true individuality, or sui generis, precisely because there can be nothing outside of, or demarcated from, infinity; meaning, the infinite contains all plurality, while plurality cannot at all be spoken of as being outside of, or demarcated from, infinity. Think of it like this... imagine an infinite circle, now imagine another infinite circle, now where do these circles inhere, or exist, if in not within another infinite circle? Nothing can encompass infinity, thus, the infinite is irrevocably individuated, precisely because it is absurd to speak of plural infinities.
I always assumed God would resemble William Faulkner: eloquent, classy and a helluva dresser--always smoking a pipe and carrying around a glass of Southern Comfort. Yeah. That's God right there, buddy.
Personality is ego/brain based...so, no. But then again, god is experiencing ego/brain activity through us as us...so, yes in that sense.
So is god the universe and it experiences itself with consciousness? Meaning it's an unconscious god. Until it becomes conscious (us), and since we came from the universe (god), this would mean that in a way, we are god. "I'm to drunk, to taste this chicken" -Talladega nights
Consciousness is certainly ONE way in which God is experiencing itself within itself, within this universe, as us, consciously aware of itself.
Just for my better understanding, this god is unconscious and universal correct? Also, what other ways can God use to experience, without the use of consciousness? "I'm to drunk, to taste this chicken" -Talladega nights
Both conscious and unconscious. Universal? Yes... but why are we trying to label something that can't be labeled? Why try to name something that can't be named? Definitions, words, and descriptions can only point to it, it can never be 'it'. And what we are attempting to point to has no borders that words can apply themselves to...if that makes sense. I can only know consciousness. From my understanding, consciousness is all there is and nothing is outside of it. I see both the duality and the non-duality of everything. It's the 'is'-ness, the obviousness, the constant awareness of now. When awareness seeks to know itself, true knowledge begins to flourish. "What we are looking for is what is looking" -St. Francis of Assisi
If God is an advanced organism, then yes it would have personality. If God is just a representation of the universe, then no. Bible god has personality, and a beard, and punishes.
If god is real then Look to nature for his artisitic ability and humans beings must be his sense of humor.
I'm not picturing someone who backs genocides as someone I'd want to sit and have tea with, regardless of what their personality is like. If you wanted to think about something illogical, logically though, consider the wearing of emotion away from the soul, the smarter and more educated one becomes. Knowledge tends to lend a common paradox: The gaining of knowledge into humanity, at the expense of one's humanity, in looping cycles of circumstance. So you picture someone who is extremely well-versed, as being quite bored, or having a very nonchalant gaze that casts itself over all that he looks to- a strange disinterest in what has become too obvious and apparent to warrant, incite emotional responses, or incentivize caring. This is how I picture an omnipotent being; beyond comprehension, and hopelessly bored with the trivialities of ants that were intended to be phoenixes.
