This puzzle is the philosophical basis of the elusive but dazzling insight of enlightenment – when the indefinable essence, the common spirit of all things, the bright light of simply being, the brilliance of existence, shines through the fog and confusion of material conditions. When we stop seeing the different things and sense instead an essence present, a wonderful oneness, uniting everything. Relatively modern western philosophy has naturally not yet shaken its fundamental dependence on materialism. It hasn’t gone quite so far.
Look Before You Leap
The existence or otherwise of God is clearly a deeply-charged emotional issue for everyone. It goes to the heart of our philosophy of life. Yet it’s significance is so profoundly intrinsic to our life, we are naturally reluctant to even recognise this emotional element. We typically defend our views with unreasonable rationalisations. Inevitably our feelings affect our perception of any evidence for or against the existence of God or the spiritual world. This is only right and essential.

Lol!
I thought I was reading... but actually hypnotized me when my eyes started rolling around, looking for the primary essence that causes the definition of the matter and the ephemeral meaning of all the things in the vast world and beyond the limiting knowledge of the human reason and soul for 5 seconds and my head started to spi~i~i~i~n (@_@)
Good one

More like playing ring-around-the-rosie...
More Eastern Humanism than anything.
We are all gods, in our own minds, once we reach a certain point of "enlightenment."
The idea of "God" is basically an emotional response to the world around us, due to the fact that we are not intwined with the world around us, thusly, not gods.
If we were appropriately intwined with the world, we could claim godship for ourselves, instead of trying to rationalize a God that may or may not exist.
