There lies deep within humanity the desire to become God. This desire touches all aspects and phases of created life.The desire to become God is behind all choices and determinations and is the very basis of human thought, dreams, and aspirations. It establishes life cycles, patterns, customs, alliances; the very structures of created life. The desire is the force of, and the actuality for, the perpetual search for Perfection. Humanity seeks to become God. Humanity seeks Perfection.
The restlessness and dissatisfaction that so characterizes the struggles of the ages of history is resultant as the goal often seems to be allusive and unattainable. This accelerating restlessness and dissatisfaction drives all aspects of human endeavor. A spirit of freneticism seems to permeate the air more and more with each passing age as if sensing that time is running out. How successful have we become in attaining our goal of Perfection? How successful have we become at attaining our desire of becoming God? Life today is not satisfied with living today but always looking ahead to some vague tomorrow. We always seem to be progressing or moving ahead rather than being present to what is now. Its like being at a beginning, but the kick is that the beginning has an ending. All creation is moving to its goal of becoming, of moving toward the achievement of Perfection, of fulfilling the desire to become God, to become the God of Creation.
We need to know, 'Can anyone achieve Perfection? Can anyone become God? Is Godship limited to any one group ; as in race or culture, or denomination, or sex, or whatever? If God is One,there must be selection. So who is selected? Looks like the desire of becoming the Perfection, of becoming God, is causing a big mess! Surely this would cause great agitation, anxiety, and freneticism, as in violence and hatred and wars. The list would be endless. But who holds the answers? Who hold the strategy? Who holds the secrets? Where is the plan? Are there directions? A blueprint? A college degree perhaps, for Godship?
How do we satisfy our longing and desire? How do we begin the process? So, who holds the key? Who holds the key to Perfection/Godliness....hence to Immortality? Religion has always held the key. Religion's key, however, passes through mortal death. Humanity, today, thinks it can do better than that. We believe that we are close to bringing about the fulfillment of hopes and the promises of religion. Science seems determined to accepting the role of fulfilling the hopes and promises of religion. An interesting thought.....religion fulfilled in science?
