In my wildest flights of fancy, I've often wondered if all consciousness is singular, and parts are simply divided off temporarily for self-amusement. It would be an interesting solution to the Problem of Evil. In such a solipsistic scenario, "God" would be the ultimate lonely figure, who creates simulated dramas of composed from the Creator's own substance for self amusement in a vain attempt to escape alienation. Because whatever bad things that happened would ultimately be happening to God by choice, the idea of good and evil would be meaningless; it would be no more than a play on a stage in which the Author, Players, and Audience are the same character.
On the other hand, it would bring a whole new meaning to the phrase, "playing with yourself".
