A God is perceived as an entity that exists outside of our self; outside of our body. If I were to state the words: "I am God" -- it would sound inappropriate, also because God is mostly perceived as an omnipotent, non-human being. It's almost a grammatical crime to have the words "omnipotent" and "human" placed next to each other. However, the notion that a human being can't -- to some extent be omnipotent -- is in my opinion the biggest limitation of our reality today.
Omnipotence signifies responsibility, and admitting that we are omnipotent, powerful beings means accepting a high degree of duty and accountability. So generally, we choose the safe, low-responsibility route and hand off, to a god, full ownership of our power. This means we choose the less-risky option in which the god sits outside our mind and body, and the responsibility for our being is either entirely given away to, or shared with that god. In this manner, we play the role of helpless victims with a need for assistance from someone or something that exists "out there." And because this something, or someone is outside of us -- then it must also be bigger and more powerful than ourselves?
In the eyes of the most contemporary spiritual movements, this god force is constantly with us -- or gazing over us as we also gaze towards it. Here, both subjects act as observers checking to see if the object of attention remains within the frame of focus. For us humans, if the object of our attention disappears -- in this case the god -- a point of high uncertainty is reached. This uncertainty is typically characterized by fear, anxiety or pain.
I here propose a deconstruction of this common hierarchy and the construction of a new "flat" reality where the god is not found outside of us, instead this god is found within each of us. In this new reality if we pray -- we are simply praying to the god within us. And if we find ourselves with the desire to accomplish a dream or a task, then we and the god within us -- are the ones fully responsible for that manifestation. Furthermore, if events have any meaning; then we and the god within us are responsible for that meaning. In this new reality, we face the truth that most refuse to accept -- the truth that we are, individually, the sole creators of our reality.
In essence we are indeed omnipotent, we are holy, we are mighty, we are our own god.
