Finally, Meditations 5

Going into Meditations 5 "Concerning the Essence of Material Things, and Again Concerning God, That He Exists", he talks about the the ability of things, upon noticing them, to recall something that he has already known for some time. Furthermore, if he can think of something without seeing it, the essence of it exists and therefore, because in his mind it has characteristics that are unchangeable, such as a triangle with 3 angles = 2 right angles, and he must accept it as existing. He also talks about God. At first I thought he didn't talk about existence at all, just abunch of nonsense about triangles, and winged horses. And just like we had the conversation about God, whether he believes or not, its almost in this that he is saying literally, God does not exist but because we can think of a perfect being, he must. He goes on to talk about if he can bring forth the idea of something from his thoughts, and everything he thinks about it is true, can't he reason that you can explain God this way. Furthermore he goes on to say "And just as one may imagine a winged horse, without there being such a horse that has wings, in the same way perhaps I can attach existence to God, even though no God exists." I think it further supports that he believes there is no God, just the idea of God. And because we can think it, it means it exists. Although I don't agree with that( I can picture $100,000,000 and that shit isn't going to be in my room when I get home) it shows that he believes God really does not exist and that it is all in peoples heads, which he says makes it real, only to avoid persecution probably. That sounds pretty resonable.
