No one can be free, who is not god of their own mind.

Believe it or not, most people who believe in god, don't actually believe anything. They believe what they are told. Because believing in god requires faith and faith is a function of the mind, one can not truly believe in a god, if said person is not already god of their own mind. Fore only someone who is god of their own mind can make a proclamation of faith with authority.

The new age teaches to become god but this concept’s context can be misleading. Being god of your own mind isn’t the same as being the “one creator god of the universe”. They are 2 different things. It is also not the same as solipsism (nothing exists outside of self). The outside world (the universe) and the individual (self/mind) exist separately at the same time. The 2 can work in opposition or unison. Be connected or disconnected.

A person can be a stable creative force in the universe, like a god, but only if said person is god of their own mind. Because creating stable lasting things in the universe, requires understanding the inner workings of the universe. Working with them not against them. This requires one to have god like authority of one's own mind. Otherwise one is a chaotic force, destroying as much as one creates, which in the end is a null effect on the universe. In the end, those who do not claim lordship over themselves, remain effectively nothing.

Since truth is beheld in the mind, one can not obtain lasting truth without being god of one's own mind, since all truth can be made a matter of relativity without the mind’s authority to assign logic in the form of deductive reasoning. When someone or something else is god of your mind, you are subject to that god. Slave to that god. If a person is god of their own mind, any concept or "truth" beheld is subject to themselves and no other authority.

These examples alone are IMO plenty reason enough the Greek philosophers of old should be mandatory reading. : )
