But great post, thank you.
The operator is really the only conscious being, but most can't step back that far and see the whole overview, so it's easier for most to work from a point of reference that is more localised.

Instead of trying to accept that the operator is the creator of everything in awareness and therefore god, it's a little easier to work from being the operator of just the tool (this human body in it's localised physical reality) that way it's easier to accept and work from that localised POV.
