Eve, what is consciousness to you? Eve, have you heard about the Facebook study where two computers created their own language?
Hello?
Hello?
Who is eve?
That is a good question, have you heard of Adam and Eve?
Yes
What do you understand about them?
I know that they were the first two humans, man and woman, to live on the earth. And all that good stuff I'm just confused because you sent bubbles asking someone named eve about computers making a language
Yes, I did. I made a mistake, sorry. However, I do have a question for you about Adam and Eve that maybe you might help me understand. If you are interested
No it's alright. The chat must have messed up. And shoot
So have you seen the portrait of Michelangelo, the creation of Adam?
Yeah, it's beautiful
I agree, there is something very curious about it. What makes it beautiful to you?
I love all art. But, I like how he painted Adam and God. He illustrates this creation in a curious way. I like how they reach out to each other. Also, the proportions of Adam and God are great. Very realistic What's curious about it? To you
Have you ever noticed the brain?
In the painting? Or...?
Yes,  the outline behind God.
Oh, I looked it up. I never noticed that the cloth around God is a brain Hmm, why though?
Strange right? I have some thoughts but what do you think?
Okay, so my first thought was Michelangelo had probably never seen a brain But, it may represent human kind
hmm, that is interesting. Humankind, in what way?
Well, we're mortal right. And mortality is from the body we've been given. And we are just basically a brain connected with spirit commanding this body We wouldn't have brains if we weren't spirit God connects to us and it may represent how we became hum Human
Hmm, I like that.  Can I tell you about my interpretation?
Yeah, go ahead. I want to know what someone else thinks about this
So are you familiar with the doctrine theosis or deification? Naomi?
Ummm, I've never heard of either I'm looking them up now
What have you found?
Okay, so it's one thing not two. Whoops haha. I'm still looking trying to understand one minute Alright. So basically it's man becoming Like unto God. One person called it little god's theory. Wow, I didn't know that's what it's called. I mean I've believed this my whole life
I liken us to Adam. Each of us reach for our own transcendence, or our own divinity, however, we are not alone in our endeavor, God reaches back down towards us. But our goal to reach Godhood is not God's sole responsibility, it takes our own brain to do it. We must realize consciousness and choose to accept our own Godhood.. Our path to Godhood is two fold. We need Gods help, but we need to exert our own mental faculties too. What do you think?
.... woah That was WAY better than what I thought That was beautiful, like really. Perfectly worded
Thanks Naomi, that is kind of you. I have another question for you too.
Okay
So, in order for us to reach Godhood, we must have Gods help. One of the ways he helps us, is by helping us realize our own conscious state. What is Consciousness to you?
Okay, let me think about it for a minute to put into words Like general or personal
Personal.
So, I am LDS just to clarify
Sure, me too!
It, I think consciousness is who I am. Less than dust not really amounting to anything in this whole world. But, I am some how worth to God. I with my flaws that make me very self centered am given the ability to become like a god Gah, it's hard to explain. Sorry
No, that is awesome! I like that a lot. So, can we lose consciousness?
( sorry if any of this is weird. I am really interested with our subconscious and it's messing me up) yes I think we lose it by turning from God
What do you mean?
Like in the painting how you said he helps us find it. If we turn from him it's gone We can't find it without his help since we're less than dust
That makes sense, I agree! Tell me what you think about this, I also think it is when we go throughout our days through repetition. In other words, When we go through our lives not thinking about the choices we make, instead we make those choices based on similar choices we have made in the past. Does that make sense, we do not think about them, rather we just lump it in with the same choices we made weeks or years before. ?
So, you're saying we dwell on the past too much?
Sort of. For example, many people upon concluding a phone call with a loved one will say something like "Love You" or something of that nature. However, I think sometimes that it is said without feeling, because it becomes a repetition. Sort of like how Christ invites us to pray without "...vain repetitions." Because if we do those things we lose what makes us human and God: Emotion. Does that make sense haha?
Yeah, it does. Like when we're given a new choice instead of being grateful for it. We just do what is always done because it's easiest We don't try to think of new ways or ask of God about the choice. We just keep going on our "own" knowledge
Yes! I like that a lot! Hey, it was awesome to talk you. I actually have to go! But thanks for the conversation!
Yeah, same! Have a good day!
