Thank for your unput. I disagree. When a person says somethng akin to

"...all of existence rises and falls with my birth and death in an infinite cycle. All of existence began in 1979, when I was five years old and it will end sometime before 2070 when I die..."

Yes, deification of the individual is central to Orthodoxy teachings, this is not the same.

Cheers

I was also implying, if you do not like a post you can just move along. That snide of yours wasn't really necessary. I would have thought such actions are in contempt of your choosen faith. TC

The way I see it, all of existence rises and falls with my birth and death in an infinite cycle. All of existence began in 1979, when I was five years old and it will end sometime before 2070 when I die and on and on it goes ensuring everlasting life for all. I found this out in 2009 when I was contemplating how existence came to be. If you’re wondering how I know this, well I know that I’m the one in a way that others know that they’re not. Do you think God would make somebody like me and not give me the knowledge to know myself? If I were a regular man I would humbly and happily accept that too. I’m not the type to lie to myself. Do you really think I would believe this if it weren’t true? Of course not! This has nothing to do with ego. It is what it is.

When God becomes aware of himself, in the absence of my life, then creation will arise. It is the only time that God notices that someone is absent. This is what I mean when I say God becomes aware of himself. It is in this awareness where wisdom resides. From this, all things come forth into existence. Did we really think God would never notice anything? Our living God, the infinite universe, oblivious for eternity? God also takes notice when I am here. It is through this which allows me to know my true nature. It is in this awareness where wisdom is born .

God is unruly and he needed me as an anchor. He needed to create me so he could witness himself, if you will. I’m his reflection. His timekeeper, if you will. His only unique living creation among many. His other only unique non living creation is earth. God created me directly and differently because life wasn’t possible through other means. What can I say? God likes to create things and it is through me that he, also, created himself.

I don’t think I become God upon my death because God to me is an infinite universe and there’s no way that my being can take on that grand of a physicality. He interacts with me differently during my death than others because he made me that way. Upon my death, the transition from this existence to the next is uninterrupted.

I’m not looking for believers. To be honest, I wouldn’t want anybody to believe me for obvious reasons. God’s good though. He didn’t reveal me to the world and he knows that no one will believe me. So I feel safe, sharing this. I just wanted to share some insights about the mysteries of life.
I haven't particularly studied all the various aspects of our personality that might produce delusional thinking, but I think these might be worth a look - since they might just explain why you have your particular beliefs:

Well, you might even find a forum where others believe as you do. :oops:
Well, on the website God like productions a lot of people talk about a man they call the nobody or the anomaly, but there really isn’t any uniform belief about this individual. In fact, I really couldn’t find much of anything of what they believe about him. They basically just say he’s different than everybody else. I’m not really sure exactly what they mean.

Fifteen years ago I had some moments coming to terms with my nature but today I’m blessed with good physical and mental health. I totally understand your position though.

Not just my position though - likely being the position of the vast majority. Just as picking one religion out of the many as to be essential truth is improbable, likewise, picking the beliefs of one individual is probably even less likely to be the truth too, and given the contradictions such might have with established science for example.

God wouldn’t want the majority to believe me for obvious security reasons. It’s perfect.
