Can God be a supermind, some sort of Mind above human Mind?


At present, we do not have the slightest idea of whether a different sort of Mind can exist, or what is the nature of a supermind, so I would rather recognise God as a megamind.


The best way to understand God as a megamind is to imagine our own Mind being God of the numerous cells of our own body. Our individual cells in fact have Minds of their own. In this analogy, neurons may represent human beings or higher animals; macrophages may represent larger animals like whales or elephants; smaller cells like lymphocytes may represent insects; bones are land masses; body fluids can be rivers and oceans, and so on.


And what is above these cells and in fact controls their activities? It is our Mind which is something abstract, with no form or weight, something with which each human cell has no direct contact but which, if the individual cell has high enough intelligence, should know it is there and guiding the cell's individual activities. Each cell has a Mind of its own, although the cell's Mind is much more primitive as compared to the human Mind.
