Yeah Zenir, you can say that. However it is more of a journey to reach that god-like understanding, which can never occur since you are but one person. However, I wouldn't bring up the Theory of Everything since now you are bringing in the dynamics of human essence into the physical, quantifiable world. Welcome to the Philosophy boards.

But something that can be added, taken straight from my journal.

Saw this today http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/journa...owjournal&j=676. Didn't think of writing this till I saw the entry.
As I was conversing late last night, a friend questioned me on my beliefs which conflict.
It is my understanding that every human being on the planet, living and dead, is connected to one another. Everything that I am is the sum of everyone that has interacted with me and interacted with them and so on and so forth. This connection is deeper than understood for not only are we all connected to each other but we are connected to everything in the universe. The vast connection we share and the potential we have to accomplish anything for it is what I see as divine.
I, then, must understand that despite my good nature, it is built up from some evil that exists in the world. I know that the dreams I have of those that have hurt me and those around me are evil. No one should have dreams like this.
So it was asked of me, if I believe that we all have some good and evil within us all, how can I praise the good of us and punish the evil in us? I thought about this and in my dreams I found an answer.
Each and everyone one of us makes choices. It is these choices that make us who we are. We can choose to be good or evil. However, evil is when you remove the choices of another. If you force another to go against their choice, you are inflicting evil onto them. When you do such actions against another's choices, you are separating them, isolating them, making them an unperson, not respecting who they are. Above all I believe in connection between people and things, and by acting evil and breaking another's human spirit is wrong any way you slice it.
I will praise the good, punish the evil, and justify evil acts onto other evil people. Any evil I inflict is just towards other evil, they became disconnected long ago and nothing is going to change that, no matter how good they are or pretend to be.
