Where?
Are you a god?
jesus said yes.
ray was told to say yes.
alan said yes.
the mahavakyas say yes
if the ALL is omnipresent, yes.
The masters (Self-Realized) that have experienced Brahman Consciousness describe Brahman as pure undifferentiated Consciousness best described as pure sat-cit-ananda (being-awareness-bliss).In western terms Brahman = the ultimate reality?
What do you know of the ultimate reality?
Not by any typical definition of God in the English language. If you redefine God to mean something completely redundant like, "everything," then sure, but it's a useless label.
But it might have been useful if Ray had said "Yes" instead...I guess to me the answer would be no as I don't find the term God to be useful.

Got it... Ray Stantz... ghostbusters... Gozer asks Ray, "Are you a God?" He was told to say yes...But it might have been useful if Ray had said "Yes" instead...
Yes, to my limited extent (not being a Brahman-Realized master yet).Are you conscious of bliss?
Being conscious of bliss, does this make you a God?
@AT-AT ... told u bud... I'm always the last to know...
This probably isn't the right time to tell you I'm a God...
Not really a response to what I said. If God means everything, then it is practically meaningless. I'm God, you're God, my car is God, my coffee cup is God, hemorrhoids are God, genocide is God. It renders the term functionally useless as a description of what is.to be or not to be is the question. maybe the understanding was changed and is changing

Answering as me (nobody’s Fool, lol) and as a non-dualist, I would say that all those physical things you mentioned are temporary props in this play/drama of God/Brahman. God/Brahman is the Consciousness, the experiencer.Not really a response to what I said. If God means everything, then it is practically meaningless.

I think there's a degree of truth here. We are in the image of God, which means we look after creation like God does. And, I believe audible language makes us one of the smarter of the many evolved species.Are you a god?

..... ....Sorry; You're looking in the wrong vertical direction.
Unfortunately we have no evidence I'm aware of that there actually is a "consciousness/experiencer of it all." If you have any I'd like to know what it is.Answering as me (nobody’s Fool, lol) and as a non-dualist, I would say that all those physical things you mentioned are temporary props in this play/drama of God/Brahman.

So the term God/Brahman is not useless but means the consciousness/experiencer of it all.
The fact that we experience is considered self-evident.Unfortunately we have no evidence I'm aware of that there actually is a "consciousness/experiencer of it all." If you have any I'd like to know what it is.
Yes, and every single example we have of someone who experiences things is in the form of a being with a living brain. We have zero examples of any kind of disembodied or universal consciousness.The fact that we experience is considered self-evident.
If it cannot be demonstrated to others, there is no way to rationally convince ourselves because our experience could just as easily be a hallucination, lucid dream, or other altered form of consciousness which we know are not reliable means to accurately perceive reality.The knowledge that all experiencers are One comes from those who have experienced the highest mystical states.
Predicting your next question, ‘no’, there is no way to show this to others. The masters say to not take their word for it but to prove it for ourselves.
