Ghost in the Machine?

Well, here is a weird series of thoughts that popped into my head the other day.

If you have an avatar in something like Second Life are you then the spirit/soul of the avatar?

If your avatar creates and guides another avatar, does your avatar itself become a spirit?

In the case of Second Life, is its creator Linden Research, Inc. the Supreme Being?

Is it possible we all simply avatars of others?

Who's your daddy?

you might have enjoyed my twitterific as the view of god post. seriously. take a look at twitterific... see the world's thoughts via permission based telepathy.

Or... to put it in another way... How many "God" layers/hierarchies are there? The avatar scenario reminds me of the finishing scene in Men In Black when you see Aliens playing gold with our Galaxy - Milky Way... Maybe we're doing the same with Second Life...

whoa...

You bet, we're all created by avatars in higher realties. Google 'The Simulation Argument'
