(Just kidding about the Nissan Frontier. What does that even mean?)
Not many of us wake up in the morning to begin reflecting on our current mortality as a part of our overall immortal existence. And certainly, at least in my mind, no one ever achieves a feeling of omnipotence, absent enthusiastic drug-use.
But omniscience… yeah, sometimes I’ve felt that I had a good grasp on what was going on in my world. (I didn't, but I forgive me.)
Way old mormons, often referred to as Elderly, unless they're high priests, grew up during a time when pondering the Mysteries was allowed, if not encouraged. We knew shizz, man! Serious Shizz!!
We had a lock on the 'Where did we come from', 'Why are we here' and 'Where are we going' issues that back then you could earn a merit badge in!
We knew why The Negro and the Lamanite were cursed, and racially equality was okay as a concept but useless as an eternal principle. Blacks had screwed themselves by sitting on fences and Lamanites could do something about it, if they would just make the effort!!!
But everyone was going to live forever, in the state of being they’d earned. (Yeah, we didn’t know about the 2nd Annoying back then, the Get to ghawdhood guarantee...)
But this is about the latter two concepts, omnipotence, and omniscience. Where immortality was automatic, the other two were earned. You’d have to be worthy and then learn how to take upon yourself these attributes. Sure, no problem!
But I never heard it brought up: What happens then? What would it be like to know EVERYTHING and have the power to do ANYTHING, except make a rock so big you couldn’t lift it, without going to the gym a lot to work out. My favorite was, could ghawd make a chile so hot he couldn’t eat it?
Here’s the point I wish to make because not only is it interesting, as a concept, but I think it’s worth a laugh and so I’m all in: How do Done&Done and I have a conversation, once we’ve ascended to ghawdhood?
D&D: Hey, EOD, how you doing, buddy? Never mind, I already know, cuz I know everything.
EOD: I knew you were going to say that… <reaching out to ruffle D&D’s magnificent pompadour hair do>
D&D: <flinching away from my reach> I knew you were going to do that…
EOD: Wanna go …
D&D: No. But we could
EOD: Nah…
D&D: Okay, then see you…
EOD: Yeah, in exactly five days, two hours, 17 seconds, and a few micro-seconds, at Lott’s place, where Lott’s Wife will once again attempt to stick a wet fingertip in your ear. What is it with that lady?
D&D: We both know what’s with that lady; how could we not? We’re ghawds...but you knew that, you rhetorical freak.
EOD: It helps pass the time. Oye, the time! I’m late!
D&D: No, you’re not ya big baby! Ghawds can't be late!
EOD: ...takes one to know one!
...In Kolobian time, the above conversation took place before it even happened, which is common in that realm. You have to be there to believe it.
See my point? A ghawd is eternal, has all possible power(s), and knows everything(s) that has happened(s), is happening(s), or will ever happen(s)! How(s) is that(s) an attraction(s)!!??!!(s)
Is this the Ultimate equality?
Other than a heavenly version of the armed forces ‘time in grade’, where the date of your commissioning to grade determines who among equals will command, what’s the point?
And if that were the situation, I’d just fuckin’ lie, especially if getting served dinner first were the prize. Not that ghawds can lie...wait, I thought they could do anything?
