How to Become God
Is it possible to become God? Is the unconscious mind nothing other than the God portal, the Heaven gate? This is the extraordinary account of the ancient and controversial secret society known as the Pythagorean Illuminati of how it is possible for every human being to attain divinity.
There are two vast obstacles to overcome, one relating to a lack of consciousness, and the other to an over-identification with consciousness. The followers of the Abrahamic religions are "bicameral", meaning that they are highly submissive, have little grasp of rationality, and obey "voices" emanating from their unconscious. Atheistic scientific materialists, on the other hand, are overly sensory and deny the existence of anything other than their mortal ego-consciousness, and doubt even that. They have cut themselves off from the most mysterious domain in existence: that of the two numbers zero and infinity (the singularity numbers), which define all of the mysteries of life.
The God Program deconstructs all of the claims of scientific materialism and shows why they are false in relation to all of the most important issues of existence: life, mind, consciousness, God, the soul and the afterlife. Equally, the "revealed" religions of Abrahamism are shown to be rooted in the pre-conscious mind of the human race and to constitute a kind of mental illness and hatred of rationality. If anything, they are a manifestation of Devil worship.
Have you ever asked where the laws of the Big Bang were stored prior to the Big Bang in order to be able to shape and direct that cosmic event? The God Program takes you on an astonishing journey back to the era before the Big Bang. It reveals how and why the material cosmos came into existence, and what the precise answer is to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything". It demonstrates how Jung's theory of the psyche can be traced back to the ideas of the Neoplatonist Plotinus, and illustrates why Jung's concept of the collective unconscious is the key to human apotheosis.
The God Program also reveals the true nature of the world's most sacred object: the Holy Grail.
This revolutionary book presents a unique and breathtaking view of reality. If you cannot find the answers to your profoundest questions in the God Program, you will find them nowhere.

I'm irritated by the constant judgmental attitude of the author(s) - calling people who don't agree with them morons, retards, and other insulting names, shouting (all caps) and using multiple exclamation points throughout the book. Though I agree that 'Abrahamists' are arrested in the mythical stage of development, there is no need for adding hostility to an already volatile mix. It's hard to get over the feeling that I'm being schooled by someone who is not yet a grown-up. Get off the pulpit and give me straight information minus your issues with duality. Spare us the manifesto. Be cleaner.
I couldn't make some of the leaps of logic to their conclusions. One example is the stance that heterosexuality is the way things *should* be, if something doesn't 'go wrong'. Also, there's no sense of understanding adaptive evolution. There are several stances taken that are sketchy if not downright ignorant. The conclusion is really disappointing.
These 'Illuminati' lack compassion and humility. Arrogance is problematic, but the lack of compassion is a huge issue.
I haven't seen any reference to Ken Wilbur's work, Integral Psychology and Integral Spirituality, with states and stages of development, and the multiple lines of intelligences. This synthesis of all world religions and psychology is information that is needed to round out the understandings presented in this book. The authors need this integral map for perspective - to see where they are at on the ladder of human development. They talk of integration but they don't seem to know that there is a well-known methodology already. They seem to me, in spite of their cognitive intelligence, to be ethically challenged, denigrating morals to the domain of submission and inferiority. In truth, when a person develops compassion, ethics come with it.
Nowhere have I seen any understanding of the Law of Interdependence or Interconnectedness, which would temper some of the thinking here. In fact, this text seems particularly Western and not integrated with Eastern realization; there are references and quotes touching Buddhism, Vedanta and Zen, but no *evidence* of realization in the narration. Mind, or Psyche is not just cognitive intelligence. Far from it.
The entire concept of certain life forms being superior to other life forms based on attributes of little mind (waking up, taking on templates, etc.) gives me pause. Who defines what has merit in a meritocracy? Although I'd like to believe that I have more value than a worm, an idiot or a brainwashed follower of a sadistic religion, because I am more conscious, complex, wise and compassionate, WHO is conscious? Isn't it the same consciousness that flows in a blade of grass? Isn't it the Ego, after all, that creates valuation? That finds itself *differentiated*? So I take issue with the authors' arrogance, talking about ego from the ego. It's like Freud talking about the Jews. Unconscious. In fact, I see the authors' shadow.
The authors continuously mention 'sweeping away' or 'ignoring' vast parts of humanity that are not sufficiently conscious in order to win a war against materialistic extroverts who currently rule the world. I challenge these people to look in the mirror and see how this very book creates a collective shadow by wishing to cast off part of the unity that comprises it. The only way to *win* is, in Ken Wilbur's words, to Transcend and Include. Hate never yet dispelled hate. Only love dispels hate. This is the truth, ancient and inexhaustible, said the Buddha.
I do feel like I learned or connected a few things in new ways, so I'm not going to give this 1 star. There's a lot of light missing here. The book doesn't deliver its title - ultimately, it tells us mysteriously to 'Run the God Program'. You'll probably learn alot more about becoming God from 'How To Know God - The Yoga Aphorisms of Pantanjali', translated by Isherwood & Prabhavananda. Also, there's this amazing TED talk (free) from Bob Thurman called 'We Can Be Buddhas'- you'll need to google that.

There is some pretty good content underneath a somewhat silly, juvenile and shrill exterior. Anything to sell a book I guess.
A good look at Jungian psychology, dollops of Plotinus, Schopenhauer, And Nietzsche. A decent look at the idea of an inner god or godhead, as espoused in Hindu and related mystical belief systems. Some rubbish about the math and ontology of zero and infinity. But you know keep an open mind. You never know where a good idea might come from. And it is always useful to jog some of these memes from time to time to keep them active in the mind.
There are the usual diatribes against science. It’s failures to answer the big questions. It has occurred to me recently that modern science (method and current content ) certainly does answer the big questions. ( provisionally as always). It just doesn’t give the answers most of us would like. The response to this is either stoic endurance or neurotic fantasy. Take your pick.
The book meanders around a bit. The author can’t resist some strident political critiques probably best left for a different book. Nobody likes or thinks much of bankers, except possibly their children.
There are some solid critiques of the established power mongering faith based religions.
And as for becoming a god, or just ... god. Well, good luck with that. Everyone has to have a goal in life.
