Talk:Eye of God

Thoughts?
It seems like a decently constructed page, but I'm not so sure that the entity of knowledge being manifested can really be discussed as a separate entity from the Gate itself or even as separate from the Truth. At one point, it's referred to as an "omnipotent being" and I really don't see any evidence for that, or, rather, I feel the term is misleading. As near as I can presume, what lies behind the Gate is knowledge. If what lies behind the Gate of the Earth is all the accumulated knowledge of the planet and what lies behind the Gate of Heaven is the accumulated knowledge of the universe, then one might be able to say that a collection of that much knowledge and power might as well be an omnipotent god, but omniscience isn't the same as omnipotence and the actions taken by these gate entities don't seem to show any sort of heightened consciousness or individuality besides what the Truth has them do. What should be done with this page? CorbeauKarasu 05:13, August 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with everything you say about it, CK, so that would make this page incorrect, and in the long run, unnecessary then.Tommy-Vercetti 13:22, August 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think it's separate from Truth, I've always considered Truth to be part of each person, and therefore there are multiple Truths. If you look Alphonse's Gate after they performed human transmutation, there is no Truth there, just his body.  His body probably is Truth, just as Edward sees Truth with his limbs, but is "overpowered" in a way by Al's body, as if the Truth were just a small part of him.  Alphonse's body certainly doesn't act like other Truths we've seen.  That's just for the entity of Truth though.  The real Truth, which is the knowledge behind the gate, is universal and part of the Gate itself, and is probably what this article is referring to.  This article brings up some good points, but it could likely be trimmed down and added to the Truth and/or Gate pages. Fullmetal Fan 16:48, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
