‘Who’ am I ~
God
The process of asking oneself ‘Who am I’ and
relentlessly sublimating all the unwanted ‘bad’ emotions will lead inevitably to the delusion of divinity.
In order to make the differences between Actual Freedom and the
spiritual ‘ego-death’ absolutely clear, we produced a second schematic that indicates the famed so-called
self-less state of the Buddhas and Enlightened Ones is but the result of a process of self-aggrandizement.
It’s a very glitzy diagram for a very glitzy
transformation. I think it’s clear what happens – a shift in identity from mere mortal to Divine Immortal
that is well documented in all the spiritual texts – it’s just that people are so seduced by the fantasy
that they will live on ‘after their body dies’, that they are blinded to facts. An interesting and rarely
acknowledged facet of the idea of God is that to have the Good one must still have Evil lurking somewhere, to
have the Divine one needs the Diabolical, to have God one needs the Devil, by whatever name. The spiritual
merely sublimates personal fear and aggression (the bad) for one becomes God (the good) and therefore
protected by one’s own imaginary aura or cocoon of Divine Love. Again this is well documented in all the
spiritual fables, in all the religious fairy stories – it is only passionate belief and the resulting
blindness to facts that prevents the whole silly nonsense becoming apparent.
