I think you may be suffering from a form of mental illness, which habitally sees "signs" in everything, which confirm a purely subjective POV ie:
your Godhood status.
I had this once, so I can speak from experience, and here is the thing to watch out for - what goes up, must come down.
It's a type of narcissistic ego inflation which tends to see everything as a reflection of the self, whereby every song on the radio, TV add,
newspaper headline and even overheard conversations, all seem to be pointing towards the same, fundamental underlying meaning, involving a drama
around the emergence of this new enlightened God ie: you.
At the same time, the spirit can't help but see everything as a reflection of itself and, imbedded in language are myths, metaphors and archetypes,
so at another level, it may be considered a valid experience!
But when you start trying to assemble a "case" for your Godhood status, as extraordinary or extra special, distinguishing yourself as "the chosen
ONE" set apart from the rest of humanity - then you are in trouble, and may fall victim, in your narcisstic self-reflecting sign and synchronicity
seeking "Sherlock Holmsian" detective work, to a very VERY humbling experience, and even the loss of your own will - for "he who exalts himself
will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
That said, the mind has a hard time coming to grips with the emergence of the spirit, and it tries deperately to come up with an interpretation which
makes sense of all the data, but there's the potential for psychosis and delusion, and I think this is what is happening to you, the same thing that
once, actually two or three times, happened to me.
And with major psychic change comes an increase in synchronicity and so you tend to get some "evidence" which appears on the face of it, to be
nothing short of miraculous, and all the while you're at the center of this drama of which you are the star actor. So I can understand why people get
confused, and hey we all want to be loved, and be at the center of a grand drama of the farthest reaching implications, and, according to some
interpretations of modern quantum physics, it's true, and we really are, and life itself is made of meaning and is archetypal in nature.
But it's good not to take one's self too seriously, and to stick to the golden rule, meaning that if you are God, then so too is everyone else, at
core..
On a side note - my mother (now passed) used to work as the head of nursing on the night shift of a large psychiatric hospital in Toronto. They used
to joke that the only thing that distinguished the nurses from the patients was that the nurses had the keys. Anyway, something they liked to do when
they had two "Jesuses" is put them together in the same room to see how they would interact with one another..!
Perhaps you and I, OmegaLogos, are two sides of the same coin, except that I've already been there, done that, and got the t-shirt!
My advice? Give it up, and just love as you are loved. Be a nothing and a nobody, and in that nothing, let whatever the someone that you are be
naturally self expressed. But give up the case, we're all God or a part of God, all special, as children of a loving God, and that is who we are.
Beyond that, nothing can be proven objectively.
And if you or I were in fact the Godhead, c'mon, let's face it, we'd screw it all up, maybe even unwittingly destroy the universe and ruin the
whole game for everyone else.
P.S. Since everything in the universe is non-locally interdependant, local matters, so I suppose that congratulations are also in order, that you've
come to recognize your true nature, as an immortal spiritual being, and a holographic chip off the old block, having a human experience.
So don't panic, and relax..
But it is quite startling, even astonishing, and a little disturbing when you "pop" isn't it? Which brings to mind this quote:
Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be
astonished, and he will rule over the All."
~ from the "heretical" Gnostic Gospel of Thomas
