Which would confirm that it is not strictly necessary to seperate the parts of our consciousness

They of course interact with each other

It may be that certain aspects of the same thing are being held as distinct when in actual fact they are the same

What do you mean by them being the same?

Do you not think there a distinct forces that together form consciousness?

Instead of splitting into three aspects of 'consciousness' it is merely consciousness

I have been saying it is one consciousness throughout this entire conversation

One conscious made by three parts

If you have two parts you have no consciousness

I am saying there is one consciousness, being described as having three different parts

Only because we lack the ability to define the distinctions

And that if we have one consciousness, and that the physiological human brain is only capable of suporting a single consciousness, how can we reconcile that our consciousness can join with a God's

I would argue you join with God through the comprehension of the Divine.

That is where the idea of Gnosticism comes from.

Gnosis, insight on the Divine, is what allows one to achieve enlightenment and with it salvation.

But earlier you said that something with a consciousness like our own, you would consider human. Now, the definition we have come to on human consciousness, is not enough. Therefore, logically, either a supernatural consciousness exists, or it does not.

The archetypal Human in Gnosticism is called Anthropos.

Thats just a different way of saying human in Greek

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Kadmon#Gnosticism

Most Gnostic language is taken from Greek because Gnosticism emerged from Neoplatonic philosophy.

The idea is that the archetypal man is a divine being, and really this doesn't have an affect on factual reality, it is not necessarily supernatural because it is not claiming the divine directly contacts factual reality.

If God's consciousness is corporeal, and untainted by the material world, not tainted by contact with matter, how can a human with a single consciousness contact it?

Let alone become one with t

And, if any humna did do that, or ever did do that, that consciousness would no longer be corporeal

God is not corporeal

He is the opposite

It says that his thought is corporeal on that wiki page

Sorry no it doesnt

I was reading the wrong thing

Let me go again: If God's mind is not corporeal, and hasnt been darkened by contact with the material world or matter, how can it be joined with a consciousness that you described as arising from the composite parts of our physical being?

Through reflections of his light in images.

In essence, through some supernatural phenomenon

Supernatural is a very subjective term, and I wouldn't call it supernatural, I would call it metaphysical phenomenon.

Which is an abstraction of philosophy

An abstraction isn't a supernatural concept though.

No, but neither philosophy nor religion are scientifically quantifiable

I believe where this was all coming from was whether a supernatural or metaphysical being was necessary for humans, and whether atheism replaced that, or in my view whether that supposition was in actual fact a valid supposition and that there is a possibility of a human to exercise their free will to think freely

**Question**: Should political topics be involved in tests like the SAT and ACT? I just took the PSAT today, and in the reading section there were two excerpts about black feminism. Though I forget what the excerpts were from, it offset me to see it in such a test.

No.

But the colleges have decided that's "nonpolitical" and inline with what they want to teach.

Unless you can rally enough people to really fight back...
