i hope you don't mind my injection here; but

it seems as if at some time, you had some sort of religious experience
which may very well have been a genuine religious experience, whereupon
you saw fit to appoint yourself as some sort of guide to bring other
people
into this same religious experience, placing your self on a pedestal of
sorts,
and in so doing, have managed to lead your self astray into meandering
wanderings
in a wilderness of self worship coupled with self doubt where you seem
to need
more help than you can be or are being to anyone else.

yes, i realize that David Dalton is not one of your stated "main
deities"

but it seems as if you spend a great deal of time and energy seeking
to maintain and justify your own importance, all the while drawing 
a picture of your self as one who is in a state of utter confusion
and not as one who is actually leading anyone, including your self,
in to some state of higher conciousness.

believe it or not, i mean this, not as a denigration of your efforts

but, as a constructive criticism from someone who is a total stranger to
you,

but not a total stranger to religious experiences.

believe it or not, i realize that i am just a tiny speck of dust
on the cosmological balance, but, that i am on that balance,
nonetheless.

maybe, just perhaps, if you would refrain from seeking to elevate
yourself
to such lofty hights, you wouldn't keep crashing and burning and finding
yourself in a pit of disillusionment and would simply walk amongst 
the common folk, many of whom, have already had meaningful 
religious experiences without your guidance.
