I suppose my concept of God's existance would slightly contrast with their existance, then, considering the fact that I think of Heaven being more His central command, the location of one of His avatars, the home of the angels. His conciousness would actually exist within a dimension out of time, through which he can influence all the rest of reality through carefully facilitated intermediatry dimensions similar in concept to "the ether". He would give commands through the use of said avatar, and have the appearance of presence, both for symbolic reasons and reasons of the impact actually having a form to interact with things could have. For example in the Biblical accounts the power of His "Glory" in the vacinity caused various psychological and physical impacts to the environment and people enveloped by it, such as deep fear or spontaneous combustion. The angels seem to have a similar effect many times, as well, but to a lesser degree. Because of the nature of man, and the fact that effectively everyone has sinned in their lives, few such encounters actually occur, and it is stated that looking directly at Him unless he was using a lesser form or some sort of shroud to conceal Himself could kill a person. Due to the fact that they exist in their true form outside of time and space, and are omniscient, the personalities of the three Inhabitants of Eternity have effectively blended together to make one being.
Because of the fact that The Facet's minds exist omnipresently throughout both time and space, they should technically know everything, though they may not understand it all or be able to mentally comprehend the information at one time as an Omniscient would, this presents a problem due to the fact that they should also be effectively blended in with God, existing in the same extra-temporal dimension, due to the time-space continuum requiring both time and space to function at all. This presumes they are not on an entirely different version of the T-S C, but in that case it brings up the question of whether or not God is in fact fully there, or in another one beyond that dimension. It would make more sense that way, because God might have to use multiple avatars at once in order to get His will fully communicated, barring direct transfer into their minds, which would imply they have no will of their own whatsoever. This possibility seems to be at odds with your wish for their existance. They also have the problem of God's will being extremely difficult to understand. He would go off on a completely unrelated tangent, compared to what had been their previous conversational path, because he thinks extra-temporally, and knows what all possible actions' results will be. It also brings up the question of God time traveling to make Himself appear in multiple places at once, instead of actually using multple avatars at a single point in time, or even saying many things at once as He was said to have done while communicating the Ten Commandments to the Hebrews, innitially. They would have to think in a way that would seem Eldritch to humans for that to be possible, though, and would make it difficult for them to communicate directly by talking, as humans have. With that in mind, it may be better to have them instantaneously tell someone something via direct thought transference... Perhaps a touch on the forehead. They would then wait for the human/whatever to respond as they might, or not... They might not do anything afterwords, instead leaving, or something. I imagine that's why God has angels, seeing as they are more directly capable of communicating with humans, as the term implies. The word "angel" means "messenger". I think he probably has other members of the Heavenly Host do other things. For example, Cherrubim have been depicted to lead God's modes of transport (it would seem that He was using an avatar in the appearance in the Book of Ezekiel, and while He could have appeared out of nowhere, as He has otherwise, He chose to use the effect appearing like that would have on the man, and on the people to read the record of the event in the future), but also apparently have other jobs they perform, such as guarding Eden before it was presumeably destroyed in the Flood.
I appologise if you find the religious talk to be boring or detrimental to the thread, anyone, but with that in mind, I am trying to help Glaisaurus with the character development and establishment of the Facets.
I say this wanting a response from him, and to instill deeper consideration of the matter within him.
O.o Torture chamber... Not too pleasant to hear the results during a formal gala, though... I lower my oppinion of it a notch. *causes a glass of wine to phase out, and drinks a sip from the crystal stemware*
Aaah...
Batteries for an anti-power generator? o_e
Seeing as I am not within that dimension, it does not effect me, though it does require quite a bit more energy to effect anything in *there*, as well... Oh, and I am not draining virtually any energy from beign phased out, since I'm already within said dimension and not constantly forcing myself through matter.
I love the witty banter between those two...
