Consciousness needs an object.

Reality would go crazy without something to live in it.

Because, as mother would say, it is for the best.

Because something has to live here, and nothing can truly live
unless it perceives.

It's obvious the Creator favors variety.

Consiousness energy (portions of itself) is the only stuff
the Creator has available to build infinite universes with.

That's the nature of conscious energy. Live with it.

If you don't like yours, try a different universe.

Why the capital for creator?
If creation is the premise, then how come the creator missed out on

Anthropic principle.

Cosmic formulae.

It "gets" perceived for the same reason a sailor on shore leave "gets" laid.

This is another false dichotomy. There is this something but also
another something. There is also this something in another form. Its
just that you seem to imply you haven't experienced it.

Only some parts of this something get "perceived" and they get
perceived (and sometimes mistaken for this something) for basically
the same "why" as would pertain if there were not something to
perceive those parts.

Never considered uncreated ISNESS that creates?
