      Some similarities between "God" and "Self". (Self used in the way Alan Watt's uses it in his book The Book)

      They both are the end results of negating the known through via negativa. E.g. I am not my hands, head, brain, mind, etc...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophatic_theology …

      Faith in Self/God require dedication and skill. Things can auto-magically "just happen", but just like in a Flow state, you have to have put in the practice so that you can "trust" in "other".

      Both are difficult to trust because they're hard to legibly pin down and define. We often expect miracles of them to prove their existence yet that very desire for miracle-as-spectacle disrupts the mechanism. Eg failing to guilt/shame self into doing sth and losing faith in self

      The models of both are refined through life experience and while the models gain in size, they don't improve very much in clarity. E.g. like knowing "more" about something illegible despite it staying illegible. ("systems thinking"?)

      Increased understanding protects against larger and larger degrees of loneliness. (hermit, wanderer, etc..)

      Both are constantly transmuting the unknown into the conscious. E.g. the act of "creation" is the same as the act of "perceiving"https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1346170420634869760 …

       🐈 added,

      Self as alchemist transmuting unknown to known. Gold as a metaphor for consciousness itself since both are "shiny". ("Known" is the territory within consciousness that is always in flux, not the map/model of reality.)

          Both are susceptible to the "false idol" effect which matches to Narcissus' reflection.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1323491831531798529 …

          people who fall in love with what they create are trying to love who they become in that act of creation. yet the act of loving the thing prevents the loving of the process that produced the thing. they are afraid to walk away from the mirror that reflects them so beautifully.

          Both are timeless. E.g. self can only recreate a memory of the past or model the future so it's always "Now"-ish
