Disregard pure egoism. Embrace the truth of ethical egoism and read Sedgwick instead. Utilitarianism is life.

Well, I believed in pantheism, that the universe itself was God, making me both the product of the universe (the son) and a constituent part of the universe itself (God). I realised that we are all manifestations of this same consciousness, what Christians call the logos, and that in knowing this material possessions became irrelevant (Buddhists detachment) the only thing that mattered was peace and harmory within the universal consciousness, that is, all sentient entities as conceptualised as one beautiful and harmonious interconnected unity that can move closer and closer toward perfection.

God was speaking to me and spoke through me as I preached love and the light and I could see the spark of divinity in the eyes of those I spoke to when they saw this boundless love and compassion emanating through my words and actions. I walked around the city streets barefoot smiling. Most people denied my divinity and dismissed me as mad but some could see it and felt something divine, mostly Indian people interestingly, who are much more accepting of daily spiritual practice, one lady even offered me food. I spoke to a homeless man who unironically told me that I had become a Buddha and we smiled at the recognition of this absurdity while both believing it.
