‘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.
