I’ve heard it said to be careful. That one may find upon deconstructing their ego, and finding that it’s all an illusion, that they stare into the face of god, and that god is them staring back at them. That they are it. That they are the divine. How intoxicating. This person and the drug addict who thinks they’re Jesus are on the same wave length. The drug being a dangerous shortcut.
So have they not progressed very far? Or have they progressed somewhere else? Like the saying: far out man.
Having had these experiences, the god I saw and became one with was a being with a childlike sense of wonder at the universe it had accidentally created.
More of a "whoops, woah cool" than a "let there be light"
Very much unlike of the Christian conception of God.
I'm not describing this well, because I can't describe it well. But I can't imagine anyone experiencing something similar would be a jerk about it. See the universe unfiltered though the mind's perception and it just...is. Timeless and meaningless.
The point ought to be that there's nothing overly special about "being the divine" - after all, God is everywhere. In eastern tradition, this would be called "having the Buddha-nature", or the underlying potential for spiritual enlightenment. It doesn't even mean that you have attained more power over the material world (the sort of power you might naïvely ascribe to a "God"), albeit practitioners of spiritual/ascetic magick would say that there's a very real path to explore in that whole expectation.
Even Christianity that is like the most basic principle. God created man in his own image. So that's basically the same as saying to know God look in the mirror.
