okay but what if all our higher beings/deities are just ancient people who’ve achieved apotheosis/gnosis and are just very strong spiritually? but we’re all just too ignorant of our spirituality to see them as that, we just see them as this unattainable status of ‘gods’ or ‘deities’.

“I who had opened your wound bit on it — did you feel me? — As into the gold of a honeycomb I bit.”
— Delmira Agustini, from The White Book: Poems; “Sweet Elegies,” c. 1910

What the Devil cites when he cites scripture. From Matthew 4:6, Luke 4:10. Citing Psalm 91:11-12. (KJV)
The Prophet of the Peacock-Quill
Hath drunk God’s Blood from out the Cup

That with Eve’s brood refuse to sup.
Ye Children of fair Lilith born,
Come tread the Path of Blame and Scorn,
For you, from Hell, have fallen … Up!
Andrew Chumbley, Qutub
