Post #151 "Becoming God"

From the beginning, since the desire to become God actualized and expressed itself in creation, creation became and becomes symbolic of the desire to become God. Creation actualizes that desire, however, not into the intended exchange of roles with Reality, as in transference, but into the creation of the distorted and inverted image of the Reality....creation, itself. Everything that follows in creation, consequently, also is symbolic, is the ritualized action of the basic desire of creation expressed particularly in the human intelligence. The biblical and mythological characters, Adam and Eve, reenact over and over again in their lives, as in our lives, the scene in the Garden which actually was a failure of their goal to achieve Knowledge, the Knowing, which would give them Power over God through which the transference of themselves into God would take place. Possessing the Knowledge of God is akin to owning, is akin to possessing God, thereby weakening God to a position of the feminine whereby the desired qualities of God could be consumed (as in eating an apple) by rendering God helpless to be replaced with one who now would possess God's qualities, thereby God's essence. Consummation takes place through the act of eating and through the sex act. Consummation is also ritually reenacted through creation.

Through the distortion of imagery, the process of division unfolded and the opposite effect occurred. The Power over God, the Power over immortality did not come about as planned. The transference did not take! Intelligence did not become Reality! What chaos, what frustration, what fear resulted! What fear results! These are the basic human emotions. Through the failure to transfer with Intelligence with Reality, we are people of chaos. We are people of frustration and above all, we are people of fear. Fear is our basic human emotion. Fear is the very fabric of creation for it well knows its end. As the biblical, mythical Adam and Eve, having no knowledge of the Reality they sought to replace, sought knowledge. Not just knowledge but KNOWLEDGE, the Knowledge of Reality. For whoever owns the Knowledge of the Reality, becomes the Reality.The outcome for Adam and Eve was not what they planned, they did not achieve their goal of assuming the Knowledge, of assuming the Essence of Reality. What they got was the image. The image that was created on the spot. They transferred into the inverted, distorted image of their desire. They did not get the Knowledge of Reality. Without the Knowledge of Reality, came instead, the knowledge of death. They did not touch, nick, or dent the Knowledge of the Reality, meaning they did not gain possession of that Realty, nor reduce it in any way to any position of weakness, to any position of the feminine, from which they could eat their fill. The "Apple" scene set the stage for the conquest of the Reality, the Reality which is the opposite of the image, the God of Creation, through eating the Apple of Knowledge. This is the pseudo-reality which is reenacted with every movement in every moment in creation.This is the movement of our lives throughout history; the staging and re staging of our struggle to gain the knowledge with which to become God. Actually, we have accomplished our goal to become God for we created our God. Our God is the God of Creation. But we only created the image. We created our archetype. Our knowledge is not of Reality and consequently, has no Power over Reality.
