If God turns out to be a phenomena from a group of dimensions, then is the word, God, a coincidence or did some thing make it that way?

Media Polls vs Korean Presidential Website Petition Results?
Most of the Korean media report polls that state the majority of Koreans are opposed to the appointment of progressive law professor Cho Kuk as Minister of Justice.
Yet, on the Korean presidential website, the number of people supporting the petition asking Cho Kuk be appointed as Justice Minister totaled over 400,000. While the petition opposing the appointment had over 250,000 supporters. I think the large number of people opposed is due to the negative media on Cho Kuk for the past several weeks. Nothing about the good things he has done. You need to log in using Facebook or other social network site in order to support or register a petition.
From what I see on TV, it seems the rich and powerful conservatives in Korean are mounting an all out campaign against Cho Kuk who has promised to reform the justice system to stamp out abuses of power. They exaggerate small student demonstrations against Cho Kuk. I am pretty sure some conservatives persuaded some students to demonstrate. I am also pretty sure the majority of students are in favor of Cho Kuk, but not his daughter, at the moment. Due to allegations of the daughter receiving favoritism in getting named in research papers which allegedly played a part in her getting accepted to medical school. She attended private school and had a privileged upbringing which makes her pretty unpopular with students, at the moment. Things are pretty bleak for Korean students with very high unemployment in Korea which I am pretty sure is due to the previous conservative administrations which focused on self-enrichment and suppression of liberal and progressive ideals and people for a decade and has opposed every reform proposed by progressive administrations by blocking and boycotting legislation. People are sick of this. At least, I am.
I hope he does become the minister of justice. Korea desperately needs to reform its justice system to stop abuses by powerful individuals.

A Quantum Dimension or The Quantum Dimension?
Is there one or are there many quantum dimensions?
Quantum dimensions? Metaphysical dimensions. Some dimension that is invisible to physical detection. A non-local dimension that is not affected so much by the space/time/energy dimension.
Non-local phenomena? Wave-particle duality, quantum entanglement, collective intelligence and similar phenomena describe things that do not seem to be connected physically, but have a connection nonetheless. They must be connected through some metaphysical dimension(s).
Some say "will" evolved from the need to survive. Where did we get the need to survive? From the sun? Or some thing or some phenomena that exists in metaphysical dimensions and the detectable dimensions. The sun provides energy for most life on earth. So it could explain basic life. But where did the need to build supercomputers come from? Not sure if it came from the sun. Is the potential of ideas be larger than the total energy received from the sun?
Some scientists theorize that life emerged from chemical reactions in something like a drop of oil that caused it to have the ability to replicate (some basic genetic code) and eventually evolve by chance. Seems like something from nothing. Especially if that life can make nuclear bombs and semiconductors from rocks.
Then could basic instincts, ability to learn from experience, and such eventually evolve into self-awareness and an explosion in communication of ideas by chance? I think there are probably different degrees of self-awareness.
Feelings, experience, logic seem so far removed from energy, yet require energy to exist.
So energy, mass, gravity, feelings and such are all related, in other words have some connections.
Maybe it's not a metaphysical dimension, maybe it's just a phenomena? No, for quantum entanglement, the entangled objects affect each other over space/time instantly. So, there must be a way for them to connect. That way is through an as of yet undetected non-local dimension or dimensions. If there is a connection, then there is something that connects them, something that we cannot yet detect physically.

Consciousness
Everything seems infinitely complicated, like a googol.
What makes up consciousness? There are our basic instincts, knowledge, experience, and more.
Some people only think in the first person, while others are comfortable without using people as the subject in a sentence. Does thinking in the first person lead to selfish thoughts? Yes. So, if they are stuck at that level of consciousness, then it could be bad.
If everyone was required to write sentences without using people as the subject in sentences, I am sure it will eventually lead to more enlightenment. They should be required to write such sentences and comment on philosophical questions until they reach a certain level of understanding.
Also, a year or two of using only positive sentences without "not", "no" and other negative words is another way of expanding mental horizons.
In addition, people talk too much. They should be required to debate only in writing, especially in politics. If everything is in writing, everything can be examined, considered, and if needed, counter arguments can be made after deep thought. Hopefully an end to brief slogan filled speeches appealing to instincts.
Bad people accuse others of doing bad things that they themselves have done and usually are doing. The Liberty Korea Party accuses the Moon administration of abuses of power. The party supports disgraced former Korean presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Keun-hye, who abused power as well as blacklisting liberals and progressives. Why do they do this? Most of their thoughts result from their decisions and actions. When they try to think, their thought are limited to what they know and do, so they can imagine little else. They can't accuse people of something they don't know about.
If you look closely at what people write or what their arguments are, then you can tell a lot about that person.
A lot of people just blab away, like Trump. They are stuck in that mind frame. Why? I have asked many times. My conclusion so far is that they are running away from death. They need to do something exciting, fun, and such before they die. Blabbing is a popular pastime, it seems. Where one can brag, boast, be conceited and the like.
Cognitive dissonance should be taught and discussed extensively. I pretty sure that's what Jesus was trying to do. He asked people to be true and not be so materialistic.

Good News and Bad News
Environmental, social and governance are now factors widely taken into consideration to evaluate the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment in a company or business.
Top U.S. CEOs say companies should put social responsibility above profit
The Business Roundtable group's statement was signed by CEOs of some top US companies. An investor's group was opposed to the idea arguing “accountability to everyone means accountability to no one.” .
Too bad there's very little sincere evidence of such ideas in the corporate worlds and societies of Korea, China, Japan and other countries.

Too Bad It's Legal To Be An A-hole
I try not to think about it, but there are lots of really bad people out there. They may be kind to their family and friends, but to the poor and powerless, they are really unkind.
When I drive, drivers cut me off, honk behind me even when I am stopped at a red light, give me dirty looks, and so on.
In life, many of the rich don't give a hoot about the poor and homeless. It's not their problem. There are people who litter. Dirty streets are not their problem. There are people and companies that pollute. World pollution is not their problem, they will probably reply if asked.

Not All Things In The Bible Are True, But Some Are
So, people should think carefully before tossing out everything in the Bible as fantasy.
Evidence of Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem - as told in the Bible
According to the article, the conquest led to the destruction of King Solomon's Temple, as told in the Second Book of Kings in the Old Testament.
There could be a God, but not like religions describe. Something other dimension-like phenomena that rewards good with a little more knowledge, content, peace, and less cognitive dissonance.
