Man is God, that's the fallacy.
We are so egotistical, we made all knowing, all powerful anthropomorphic figure, but it is really man, and about our insecurity.
Close but after a lifetime (since my 20s, now 62) of guru meditation, I understand there is much more to self than we grasp, day to day.
So, man is not God, but to me the higher aspects of SELF are universal and very powerfully GOOD.
i just add another letter. Man is GOOD.
That is what we all want. And it has not an ounce of woo-woo, or any stricture.
God is Mans highest SELF. Very real and not just hope for faith and belief in old stories, is how I see. So, even the religions are not wrong,
They look in the wrong direction, like the story of Plato's Cave.
The Universe is our Father, but not necessarily our Creator. And since I can imagine the imagine impinging me, endless and boundless SELF without even Identity, I can understand that the Universe needs no Creator.
In fact in Quantum Physics, it is looking like we create it all by observing. It is called Continuous Creation Model, as the only explanation so far the fact that we cannot find NOW in science,
Is one googleplex of a second, NOW, or is it 1/2 of that? See what I mean? It is already gone but it is still NOW.
You cannot define NOW with math.
We create REALITY, as we go?
(this is the opposite of Ayn Rand Objectivity-Illusion)
We may be creating it all by force of SELF WILL so as to know GOOD in all its aspects.
