Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Sounds nice on the surface, but check the context, and the other parts in the Biblical texts concerning ''ye shall be as gods'', and a couple of kings that thought of themselves as God. You guys jump too quickly to your conclusions.

EXCELLENT POINT!

That is why I find the Hebrew word pronounced something like Elohim to be so mysterious. It has many meanings such as Angels, etc.

It all stems with how we subjectively interpret the word "god".

Human, or something else, up to the supernatural.

Down to, I think, in terms of the best thinking.

I think the case has been made for the fact that all the gods are man made.

Some claim, we are all gods. Are you saying that belief is man-made?

Yes and no.

Yes, as all beliefs are man made. If not us, who?

No, as nature and our DNA is telling us we are the fittest of our line. That initial mental position as the fittest, in theological terms, is god.

Gods are concepts and constructs of human imagination.

Look to the root of any religion and you will see some reference to the pineal gland or other mystical symbol that denotes a mythological and imaginary rendering of an ancient central team/tribe building myth.

The only place any concept you can hold of any god is in your own mind.
