I think that makes sense Kaye. If I had all eternity and I had a feeling like you mentioned, why not create completely unique children (like a family) separate from myself, give them free will, make them an environment to learn about using free will, allow for indefinite growth and learning, and allow them to come to know me if they choose. Im not sure why I'd choose to separate myself from myself, forget myself, and wait for myself to remember just to gain some type of subjective experience. Sort of sounds like what those big drunken nights are all about :) Is that what an unlimited being would need or at least seek? Don't reckon so.
Anyway, for me the former proposition makes more sense, and both in my mind are anthropomorphic, how could they be anything but from our vantage points? So considering its nothing but speculation from a pot trying to conceive of the potter, we might still be able to use logic to discern the more likely from potentially many of similar more unlikely speculations. Is that a waste of time better spent on understanding myself first? Maybe, but there's always room to improve my poor multi-tasking capabilities.
Well that's what I think, fwiw.
