Summary
The paper discusses various theses regarding God and consciousness, starting with the certainty of one's own conscious state. It argues that every conscious state involves a relation to a subject within that state, ultimately proposing that God acts as a co-subject in every conscious experience. This perspective is identified as a form of panentheism.

Abstract
This paper goes through a series of theses about God and consciousness from the most certain to the least certain. I begin with the thesis that I am more certain of the existence of my currently occurring consciousness state than of anything else. I then move to the thesis that every conscious state includes a relation to a subject, which is internal to the state. I continue with models of divine omnisubjectivity and conclude that God is a co-subject of every conscious state I have. This position is a form of panentheism.
