That's right folks, this just in:
Imagine you have a desk. On that desk you have a pencil and a stapler. You move the pencil, and the stapler stayed in the same place! There ya go, proof that the very fabric of the universe in concsiouness, or self-awareness.
Everything exists relative to everything else. correct? So when you move the pencil, you're actually moving the entire universe, right? Cause any location could said to be the center of the universe seeing as every location is defined only by its relationships to all other locations, see?
But then we ponder how did the stapler KNOW that the pencil moved? And it must have known, because its very existence was defined by that pencil in the first place. When the pencil moves, the 4th moon of jupiter knows as well. Or at least, with knowledge of the possibility of self-awareness it could be said that the moon knew. It didn't really know, it just continued its relative existence to all things, and I choose to interpret this behaviour as self-knowledge.
relative existence means that all things are "aware" of eachother. If we look at the universe as one huge entity, it could be said that it is fully aware of itself. Awareness of all things in the universe makes it hard to go harvest wheat and catch some fish, so we're a little dumbed down compared to a rock. Makes one feel a little left out eh?

Okay, I'm going to tackle your thoughts.
There was a time, a couple of years ago, that I realized that we are each of us all in a different spot at the same time, but as time moves, our locations move.
We are not aware that each of us has moved, relative to one another, but we have, and not only have we moved in relation to one another, but the events surrounding each of our movements have changed as well.
Why have we moved? What events arose causing the movement? What caused the events? Why were we put in each other's paths?
Time is on a continuum, but we are not, and there is some kind of nexus that puts us in each other's paths, for reasons unknown to us, that causes us to benefit from one another or learn from the events.
Now my head really hurts.

Okay, let's take this a teensy bit further.
We may not each of us be consciously aware that each of us have moved in relation to each other, but our subconscious may be aware, somehow.
It's like in that book I was talking about a while back, "The Zero Point Field", (fuck, it's like next to my name and I had to scroll up to remember what it was, am I an idiot or what), that we are each of us tapping into a source where all knowledge is stored.
So when we move, we are aware somehow that others have moved, even if not consciously.
(I'm going to probably keep coming up with more thoughts, so beware. Feel free to jump in.)

I just turned in a research paper on this topic. The property you're referring to in which the universe is defined by the relationship of its contents and not a hard coordinate system is called "diffeomorphism invariance." What a mouthful.

If I do not exist, then for me, neither the stapler or the pencil exist. Therefore, my perception of existance of both the stapler and pencil is dependent upon me rather than each other. The pencil knows nothing about the staper. The staper knows nothing about the pencil. All that is known is what I perceive. Just because I call a circle a square, doesn't mean that a square is circular.

Inanimate objects are not aware of each other, but do influence each other.
I believe I understand what you're saying, but it's not moving the universe, just the relative location of what we could a "point" in the universe, and therefore changing the location of all infinite atoms, electrons, planets, stars, dust and dark energy around that point. Everything moves slightly, but all remains the same as it once did.
Now imagine an infinite number of particles doing this in an infinitely small division of points in a second, and see how much any absolute god (if one existed) would have to think of in a nanosecond. And that's just the placement

A philosopher named Spinoza would argue that the god in question is the particles, reducing it to a matter of self-awareness.

The god isn't self aware?
I want to see what you meant by that. If god is a force, he cannot be aware truely, as aware is a human perception; he may be something else, but aware would require a mindset, a human element that humans push onto gods and deities to make them seem more human. If it does have a mindset, how can it not be aware and how can it become self aware?
Maybe with the invention of LSD the god merged with it and became aware of itself.

I won't dispute this because you're right, linguistically. The property in which a god that is everything around us 'knows' exactly what is happen being 'he' is what's happening is most closely related to our human term 'self-awareness.' One reason I don't practice philosophy of god as much as I used to is the fact that one can use reason to argue just about any point as true, and god is a particularly hard target to use reason on.
