My thesis is that it's a messed up corporate god (including organized religions) that would meet the criteria for the diagnosis of a control freak! This god is the Lord of the Koch Brothers, Rothchilds, and other authorities (authors of our lives). These speak to the Wizard of The Wizard of Oz story.
Is this Wizard truly God or do we worship a neurotic basket case sitting on Wall Street, Rome, or at the Sunday Morning Pulpit alongside those squabbling in Washington? Is our god a reflection of top-down corporate / government domination? Perhaps the true God, the intelligence/consciousness of Nature, is within us and within everything else, including the desire to masturbate. "Practice for the delight of us Ladies," Nature says. Nature has a purpose for everything.
The Way (Process) of Nature is Sophia Episteme (Greek), Hockmah Binah (Hebrew) or Wisdom and Understanding (English). Nature is our Essence (Being). Nature is Yahweh (I AM) in Hebrew and Brahmin (the Self) in Hindu. As the Navaho chant sings regarding this organic and orgasmic unity: "The tree, the mountain, the stream, I become it!" We too can grow to understand I Am That-I Am.
Identifying Nature as Essence implies the natural marriage of Mother Nature and Father God. What is our Nature if not who I AM? Pagan, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Christian and Atheist are one in their multiplicity. E Pluribus Unim (in the many one) is more than a shallow saying that means nothing other than a vicious lie appearing on a dollar bill. E Pluribus Unim reflects cosmological/natural process! It is who we are in relationship to this planet and universe.
Knowing this infinity, the power to become change-agents is in our hands, hearts, and heads in relationship to all other creatures. Nature/God is infinite within us as much as She is infinite in the cosmos. The transcendent, incarnate, and indwelling Spirit are one. Knowing infinity and the infinity of the finite speaks to our ability to evolve. There are infinite potentials within us, some that we may see as positive, some negative.
Just be careful that you don't equate the infinite with your ego. The ego is what we mistakenly think we are. To identify ourselves with the ego is akin to mistaking a wave for the entire ocean.
What creates the wave is everything from the planet's rotation, the phase of the moon, air and water currents. Or as per Chaos Theory: the flapping of a butterfly's wings. We are all aspects of Mother Nature's creativity. Dare you remain feeling alienated knowing that? You are a participant in this world more so than an isolated particle.
The thoughts you have of yourself, as woman, man, left wing, right wing etc. are lies. You are a manifestation of Yahweh, I AM, who creates humanity is His image, male and female, as per Genesis 1:27. There is no opposition in the Self.
The realization of this unity is reliant on negation. To embrace all, one needs to let go of everything. Emptiness is fulfillment. Thus the Tao Te Ching sings, Be newborn, be free of yourself. Christ mimics this with His "be ye like an infant." Christian mystic Meister Eckhart states we should be in the same state we were in prior to being conceived.
