From My Perspective

(Picture Credit - From Matrix - Genius Com)

From my perspective, I am a sentient being called Paul Butters. I live on a world called Earth. I am told that I have lived here since 27^th May 1952. I recall being 4 and thinking about going to school at 5. More vaguely I remember being a toddler, playing with some model “train” and a dog named Judy. My sister Joan appeared when I was 3.

From my point of view I don’t even know whether my parents were “real”. I loved them so much, but that does not necessarily mean they were real. Indeed the whole Universe, the whole of Existence, might not be real.

All I know is that I am here in Cleethorpes, right now. Cleethorpes, what a sad thing to say! But I am here, right now. When you read this, these words will be history.

People, if they exist, argue constantly about Existence, Reality and whether there is a God. None of this matters to me. “Reality” for me is what I perceive, and I have to engage with this reality, no matter what.

My current understanding is that I will die within the next 30 or 40 years. Sooner or later, who knows? The evidence is that effectively everything will end for me when I die. Okay so others may live on after I die, but what use is that to me? For me, all existence will end. I will no longer be able to appreciate you!

Me? From my point of view I have to be the most important person in the world. Above any Royalty or President or whatever. Sorry if that sounds egotistic or arrogant. It is the only logical viewpoint.

My only “excuse” for these words is that I believe it possible that I am part of “God”. Maybe we are all children of God. Or, as I say, “part of” God. Perhaps God lives out all our lives, one after another, for the fullness of Time. Indeed We might be “The One Mind”. Who knows?

All that matters is that “I am The One” as far as I am concerned. This is a logic I cannot avoid. That’s how I see it and that’s what I say.

I am God (and therefore Allah et al). Perhaps. Yet in this human form I have little Power. You are God too, maybe. I am almost powerless as a human, but beyond this form, that may well be quite another matter.

PS (21\2) Sorry if I have offended anyone here. God is God. That’s if the Atheists are wrong and God exists. God may be a He, She, both genders, or something else. They say that God is everywhere and in all of us. That is why I can claim to be God myself, at least partly or indirectly. Not the Whole God, just the bit that is Me. So if any religious-fanatic terrorists “execute” someone, they had better know that they are killing part of God. And I’m sure God would not be pleased with that. Just saying.
