From the SR POV that is exactly what is happening, but to accept that you have to accept that technically, you don't have thoughts either, only consciousness has thoughts and human bodies (including your own) are just mechanisms for outputing those thoughts.

This is making more sense to me. For awhile I thought it was cylon running the entire show, which makes no sense.
So even though from SR it really IS cylon creating everything, and it really is my dad creating everything... and we don't "cancel each other out" because we're really the same consciousness... we just think we are separate.... and we have this feeling that we are separate in order to maintain an illusion.
At this point the word "we" seems to lose all meaning.
It's just that the whole concept of maintaining an illusion, seems to be like a God saying, "you know what would be fun? If I confused myself into thinking I'm a bunch of different people in order to have a blast getting to know myself better."
I doubt that's it though... I think that's just our limited understanding of what consciousness really is... our knee-jerk reaction is to put a face and purpose behind creation. I think that's just the way we choose to understand things. We are people so we imagine whatever "created" this is kind of a person too.
