Ultimately godhood is what one makes of it. I personally define divinity as superconciousness. The correlation between the human mind and a superconciousness would be the same as that of an ant to a human. Trying to understand the superconciousness would be impossible right now.
That's not to say, of course, that the human species couldn't achieve superconciousness at some point in the future and become a divinity. The question would be how exactly this will be achieved. There appear to be many potential paths.
As an aside, I often wonder why many folks in this community balk at the idea of humans becoming deities. The last time this was brought up, the responses were depressingly typical:
"That's impossible"
"The gods wouldn't allow it"
"We should just learn to be happy servants to the gods, rather than try to be them"
"We'll all be dead before we can achieve godhood"
I honestly can't see a reason why we as a species shouldn't do everything in our power to hasten the transistion to superconciousness/godhood so we can blow this popsicle stand we call Earth. That sun in the sky ain't gonna be burning forever, you know.
Something that has always baffled me is why there are some folks in this world who are so averse to even entertaining the idea that humans could eventually become what I would consider "gods". It's so obvious that whether it happens in 100 years, 10,000 years, or a million years, it will happen. The question is how will it happen?
