Bill..... >>And a true God is not the one with the most servants, but One who serves the most, thereby making Gods of all others. For this is both the goal and the glory of God; that His subjects shall be no more, and that all shall know God not as the unattainable, but as the unavoidable.>> The more we freely serve and become one with the cause of God's love and truth, the more we become responsible subjects to His freedom. And as popular as CWG has become, the notion that there are multiple Gods is the same as believing there are multiple Sources/Ends. This insanity is what collapses freedom into the conditional darkness where we becomes subjects serving our personal illusions and those we enshrine as our masters. That there is but ONE (1) God drives mankind crazy!! Everyone wants to be a source/end. Everyone wants to claim to be God! When we claim this position we, by definition, align ourselves against the divine order and providence of God which is the essence of love which manifests as perfect freedom. The light of truth fades to conditional darkness and, like torches waving in a cave, we becomes consumers of the free and unconditional universal energy that claims the title, nobility and vicarship of God Himself. So I totally understand and sympathize with your point of view. Peace and God Bless! 119293!!

"It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destination. … There are no ordinary people. You have never met a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations – these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry snub, and exploit – immortal horrors or everlasting splendors." ~C.S. Lewis
