So I was at work this morning and started talking to this Christian lady and I was explaining I'm not really a Christian but I like the Bible and how it's like a big book of philosophy and good teaching and how I think Jesus had a lot of good things to say but ALL this lady kept talking about was how Jesus was God and how he got resurrected and crucified and I just didn't get how somebody who devoted themselves to Christ one only care about the man's death and resurrection, there was so much more to him as a man than that and it just felt so one dimensional. Why don't Christians ever discuss christ as a man and not the whole him being son of God and stuff? There was so much more to him than just that one part of the story

Go and be spiritual communist somewhere else, even Hinduism has the concept of guardians who descend from beyond the wheel.
The Platonic wisdom is that this is the ultimate goal of every Soul. Not solely the transcendence beyond but the even higher transcendence INTO, God is omnipresent, real liberation is to have henosis through love. You nor God have any need for some specific state of existence, God is beyond states of existence. To become co-creators is a kingly obligation not tyrannical indulgence to power willy nilly.
