God is a Writer

How does God think?
God thinks like the writer of a play. A writer creates characters and gives them life.

Is that life permanent?

No. The life of a character is temporary and transient, subject to the whims of the writer.

Does that mean that the character is powerless?

No. The writer both directs the character, and gives him free will.

Are both free-will and divine direction possible?

Yes. The actor that plays the character is the soul of the character. It's being controlled by the writer, like all souls are directed by God. Nevertheless, the actor has the choice to play his character according to his own free will.

Can two actors play the same character the exact same way?

Never. This proves that all humans also have free wills.

For the entire duration of a play, does the character know that his existence is not real?

No. Only the actor knows it. If the character becomes aware of his illusory nature, either the play becomes a movie like The Matrix, or the play is known only for its boring and ridiculous nature.

So, does that mean that the actor must abandon his character the moment he realizes his true nature?

No. He must go on to finish his character, and later find another role. This is the essence of Karma Yoga and Reincarnation.

Why must he go on with playing his false role in the unreal play?

Because he has a duty to edify the other characters about their ultimate reality. He cannot achieve this just by killing all the characters, because it's the other characters that die, not the other actors.

How can he teach the other characters about their illusory nature?

He can do this by learning about how he realized his true nature in the first place.

Is there one way to show to all characters of the play that they are not real?

Yes. He can do this by assuming the most superior character in the play.

Won't the other characters in the play think he's crazy?

Yes, but we both know that only the writer and the actor know the truth. He must fight the weapon of prejudice with the weapon of knowledge for the sake of the other characters themselves.

Does that mean he should become a dictator?

No. He must become a Buddha, or a Robert Pirsig. He must become an unconditionally trustworthy person.

How can anyone do all this?

I leave that to you, dear reader, because your character in this world is your own, and not mine to assume.
