quote from Dûndurion
Quote:

To me, it seems that Eru Illuvatar was more the World itself, and that the consciousness was more-or-less contrived. Tolkien clearly gave the Powers to the gods Manwe, Mandos, Ulmo, Melko, and the rest -- with Illuvatar as sort of an idea with whom Manwe consorted in need.

Are you saying that you think Eru was the contrived consciousness of the world, an idea? I'm not sure I follow what you are getting at.
