Post #180 "The projection of God"

The transference of humanity into God takes place as God is the image of humanity. God is created in the image of mankind. As Intelligence imagines Perfection, humanity's idea of Perfection becomes its God. Humanity images its own image of God. Imaging is done through transference. The transference of humanity into Reality cannot take place in Reality, as Reality is Reality and image is image. Only in dream and desire does the transference take place. A resultant projected image cannot become its own original. The image of God that results is actually the image of one's interpretation and impression of God. Hence, God becomes image. God becomes the image of humanity, the image of creation. Reality remains Reality. The projection of the desire to become God results in the image which is made up of one's own interpretation of who and what God is and especially what they need and desire God to be. God becomes archetype. In order for humanity to believe in the God it has created, it must do away with anything that goes beyond. This means confining God to what intelligence has created god to be. God must be confined. But it is not only God that must be confined within the limits of intelligence, creation itself must be confined within the limit and limitations of creation. God and creation can only be what intelligence allows it to be. Nothing can exist that does not begin within Time, Place, and Matter. Nothing can exist that lies outside the dreams and desires of intelligence. Until intelligence dreams and desires and images, alternate life or alternate dimensions do not exist.

The first step to becoming God after the dream and the desire is the determination of what qualities are desired. Which qualities are the one that will bring about Perfection as God is Perfection? The most obvious characteristics that seem to be universally desired are those characteristics that are considered the best and the most God-like, as in All-knowing, All-mighty, All-powerful, Most exalted and on and on. It doesn't take long, however, to realize that Perfection, the Perfection of God, does not exist in creation. The only way to become Perfect is to seek for Perfection outside creation. Not knowing what exists outside creation, we rely on our ability to create which is the same as to image. We dream. We desire. We image. We exist within our imaging. Our images are our creation. We do not know what is outside of creation. We do not even know that there is an outside-of-creation. We can only surmise what we long for. No wonder we do not know satisfaction and keep on longing.
