What would you wish for? This is of course disallowing the typical cheat-tier wishes (I'd wish for more wishes!). I'd wish for complete control of my body/mind. If I felt like pumping out more dopamine, serotonin, GABA, I'd be able to do that instantly with no repercussions. If my liver was failing for whatever reason, I'd be able to somehow internally repair it. Although when I think about it a bit more, this could actually be a disastrous wish, there's a lot of things that we don't want control of conciously. Being conciously aware of digesting my foods, growing my nails, pushing blood throughout my body, being aware of and interacting with hundreds of trillions of bacteria in my stomach, that sounds very awful. I'd have to add an exception, something like "I can turn it off when I feel like it"
Thinking about how intense of an experience that would be makes me feel immense pity for the Abrahamic God, if such a being exists, I can't help but think of how utterly miserable they must be. The western idea is that God exists outside of time, that he is experiencing and witnessing every nanosecond of every second that will ever exist and that time is eternal. It's like a photograph was taken at every nanosecond for every trivial thing to ever occur and this being is in that photo. Oh, that fly just landed and took a shit? There's God, watching it, eternally. But he's not just watching that one time that fly went and took a shit, he's watching every time every fly that will ever exist simulateonsly taking a shit and he is going to be doing that forever with no break.
I cannot think of a more terrifying thing then to be that kind of existence, being God sounds more hellish then any kind of torture that people ascribe to hell.
