Now in this final paragraph we have a look on one of the most devious tricks of any creation of augmented reality - the so called almighty or God complex.
This is a topic Horst-Eberhard Richter wrote a groundbreaking book:
Platon`s shadow reality finding expression in different kinds of augmented realities has led western thinking into unbelievable fields of mostly compulsive imaginations, as though humans are like God.
That sounds not bad at first hand, but has tremendous results. It is by no means simply a religious statement, but a belief system of torture, hurts and destruction. It is the result of mankind being convinced of treating all around as object.
An object is a thing being opposite to a subject. You can love it and throw it away. Heidegger once said, that the mark of our contemporary times is the making of all around us an object, even living entities.
It was Descartes bringing math thinking into epistemology. He differentiated between res extensa (physical world) and res cogitans (mental world). From there nature was a case of description like an object - man is opposite to nature/world.
This opened the way of treating nature/world like an object - it could be exploited. Descartes` view was the birth ground of capitalism. And then came all those different colours: utiliarism, market economy, later nihilism and philosophy of will. The curious reader may do a research by himself...
Anyway, the almighty or God complex is a result from all trails of western thinking. Western mankind lost God and had to fill a mighty gap. This is Nietzsche`s approach to find a new mankind, and he became insane...
Modern western humans are now experiencing formerly divine attributes: they are creators of manyfold things and realities, they feel as masters of the world while exploiting all levels of nature and being, they believe in the power of money (the surrogate God), they believe in manageability of all live affairs, they set standarts on everything, they even believe defeating death one day...
With such augmented reality modern human is also approaching spirituality. The almighty western human believes he creates realities, he feels not vulnerable in believing, that he "deserves" this and that.
I have seen people really trying to command the weather (because Jesus did so), people trying to fight with spirit entities (because Jesus gave them power), poeple trying to command illnesses (because we are that mighty).
I have said this in another post, and I repeat it - people like tv evangelists misusing Jesus for the sake of success and getting rich, people like Esther and Jerry Hicks and others in this regard are clearly serving the almighty agenda.
And people get sick from it, really sick. Even their spiritual approaches is bringing them down, because they carry a burden they believe is necessary. They believe they can manage all and have the resposibility of all they experience.
Their almighty complex has no mercy. There is no room for weaknesses and imperfectibilities. There is no rest from hard works and attempts. There is a need of everlasting awareness. This is a road to burn out. This has nothing to do with love.
The almighty complex is not defeated by any fighting. It simply must aknowledged as terror thinking and cold deception, meriyless and destructive.
In my understanding humans can only heal by embracing imperfect, limited and even strange being human, by accepting even burdens and letting go of superelevated hopes and agendas.
A wise man told me once:
there are two conversions necessary - one to the divine, and one to yourself as being simply human...

"Nature's God". . .
Why Stauffenberg as your pic? lol
Did you really find it?
I was looking for a pic of resistance...
Well..I guess it's a symbol of resistance...even though his plot failed and he ended up paying with his life. But, you have to respect the man, he had alot of courage.
I don't like how people keep glorifying Jesus. Sure he was a great man, but he was more or less just here to give us a message. His death caused that message to go "viral" as it were, even though it was later on corrupted.
It was the power behind Jesus... the Christ Consciousness... that made him what he was. And he had no qualms with saying that either - he said that his way was the only way to salvation - you must do what he did.
Now as for having a God Complex...
Having been created by an infinite creator, we also carry that infinity within us. If it is not externally manifest, then it must be internally manifest. So that means We Are God.
That a person cannot seem to find the divinity--infinity inside them is their own decision, their own choice, their own fault. It doesn't mean that its not there.
At the same time someone claiming to be God or have a god complex, more or less out of a sense of misplaced Ego... is not necessarily accessing that infinity within either. To talk the talk you also have to walk the walk.
But that doesn't mean everyone with a supposed "god complex" is using their Ego either.
I glorify Jesus because through prayers to Mary He is there with Her-Holograms created by Spirit/Computer? I believe so.
But the holograms are representatives(not that I've seen them, but felt their presence) of their persona's and Mary and Jesus are peaceful and healing. I was born under Pisces and devotion comes naturally. I like it.
I believe we live in a 'fishbowl' 3d and 4d-inner earth is 4d, middle earth is 3d, upper earth is 4d. We re-incarnate continually back and forth-plus it is said there are numerous spirit worlds but still in the 'fishbowl which extends through out the universe. Through the different devotional or yoga systems we can achieve 5d. We are all not simply going to ascend to 5d-
I agree with you.
Yes, it is an Ego thing...
Me. my personality, my ego, my physical and spiritual bodies are 'human'-my soul the immortal Spark of God/Light would say
"my vehicle' referring to me, the ego etc. My soul's vehicle traveling through time experiencing life after life fulfilling desires and /or paying karmic debt because of me the ego. The ego makes choices many times based on emotions and desires-on it goes until I, the ego mind decide to allow my soul to contact it's vehicle, me the ego mind.
...and while you you walk on, you discover that you always end there, where you have been always. You find something, which was there always.
There is nothing to gain and nothing to achive, but a lot to lose: your will to gain and achive something, your struggle to work for something to achive.
You already ARE an immortal part of the divine, even without knowing, and there is nothing that can change it.
And you walk as a human - fallible, fragile, limited, trapped in space and time as it is supposed to be. You walk as a finite entity nevertheless always being like a hologram expressing the infinite.
This is hardly to comprehend - again as it is supposed to be.
Therefore we aknowledge letting go of all almighty complexes by embracing our humanity.
Who knows, maybe there will be another time and space with different frames of existence.
But as long as we are human, we have to walk human...
