Well, that is not the case it may seems. For example becoming a man fully functioning is not about moving from being simple to being complex but rather from being complex to being simple. This is where the paradox lies. Organism in general is moving from simple to complex. However as a God, we move the opposite direction.
This is because only a simple being can solve a complex issue. A complex being cannot even solve a simple problem. They will get entangled in the complexity.
That is why my aim is to be a Nothing. By being a Nothing I am Everything. In my experience, when I am simple, I can pierce through the pinhole of Mushin No Shin (Mind of No Mind). As I shrink my world, I expand my mental horizons.
Among the resources toward simplicity, the most expedient tool is isolation. Yes you read it right. isolation is a resource. The opposite of isolation is not socialization but rather loneliness. While isolation is a personal choice, loneliness is imposed [upon] upon you by the society.
To be a God, you must be able to stand alone. This means you have to at times to go against the flow of the society at large. The majority is always wrong, said Orson Welles. Warren Buffett said it too, do not follow the masses.
What we need to do is to be an independent thinker. Everything we need is within us - Miyamoto Musashi. That is why those who are seeking for God go into isolation. People like the Buddha, Jesus, Marcus Aurelius and Muhammad seek within for answers.
We are the essence of God. If God is an apple tree, then we are the apple. As much as the tree produce the fruit, its the fruit that produce the tree.
We are one and we are many. We are within God and God is within us. It's like peeling an onion, at every layer there is God. All matters are intelligent and all matters are gods.
We cannot say we are separate from God as much we cannot say our cells are not part of our body or our heart is not part of our being. Everything is interconnected. We are God and God is us:
Maybe this concept is alien to the Theists. It is even considered blasphemous. B[y] (But) in Phanteism, this idea is very plausible. Everything stems from God and everything has a potential to be God.
Perhaps the confusion lies in the definition of God itself. The Theists believe in an intervening God and this God performs miracles. Normally the Theists beliefs are supported by their sacred manuscripts.
The Pantheists don't have this belief. To them God is a Force around and within us. This Force flows through all matters and it is impartial of the deeds of the individuals. Pretty much like air and water. Both elements exist where there is life regardless whether it is good or evil. In this case this Force like water in a river flow along the Path. We on the other hand is like a vessel riding on this river following this Force, Path and Flow; the XYZ Equation.
Of course the idea that we are all gods are unsettling thoughts to many people. We always believe that God is omnipotent, omniscience and omnibenevolent. Well that is because we had been brought up to believe in such. It is just one model of belief. There are other models. The theistic, pantheistic and even the atheistic models are not the Absolute Truth. It is just a representation of our attempt to make sense of our world. Nobody have the exclusivity to this truth.
Remember, there is no truth beyond what we choose to believe.
If you don't believe me check out your thoughts and how ridiculous other's beliefs to you. Chances are to others, your beliefs are equally ridiculous.
So if truth is nothing more than what we form in our mind, then naturally truth is a question of choice rather than a decree for us to obey.
Hence being God is not an Absolute Truth but rather a choice of us to make.
