Divine Consciousness of Human Consciousness
Abstract
This paper goes through a series of theses about God and consciousness from the most certain to the least certain. I begin with the thesis that I am more certain of the existence of my currently occurring consciousness state than of anything else. I then move to the thesis that every conscious state includes a relation to a subject, which is internal to the state. I continue with models of divine omnisubjectivity and conclude that God is a co-subject of every conscious state I have. This position is a form of panentheism.
