Genes / God / Ego
by Gary DeVaney
A dog’s
God is a living being who normally feeds his canine worshipper, punishes him physically on occasion, and, if worthy of devotion,
pets him affectionately. No dog ever worshipped a being that he could not see, hear, smell, and touch.
Dogs
are religious animals. A dog does venerate his master as a being with powers vastly superior to his own. He worships his God
in his own way, seeking to conciliate his favor with motions and caresses, learning to obey his master's wishes and whims,
and even having a sense of sin when he knows that he has yielded to a temptation to do something that will displease his deity.
A dog tries to appease his God’s anger, as men do, by humility and groveling and he will fight for his God, even at
the risk of his own life. Revilo Pendleton Oliver, 1908-1994
Can you distinguish your God from any fictional being? You many treat your President or Boss as a God, but they
are not Gods. You may think of yourself as God over others, but you are not God.
Do you really worship God out of fear? If the Biblical God did not threaten that you could go to Eternal-Damnation,
would you fear Him?
God is:
I am the value.
I am the authority.
I am more important.
I am entitled.
Ego is any manifestation of behavior that determines:
I am the value.
I am the authority.
I am more important.
I am entitled.
People who pray to God are really praying to their own Ego to protect them, not be tempted into harmful situations
and to be pain free.
Perspectives:
If I have
a God or Gods – it or they are my genes.
Any belief, thinking or feeling about God must go through the believer's
Ego filter before the believer is motivated or restricted
by their claimed concept of God.
Believers who bring attention to and promote God are just bringing
attention to and promoting the assumed authority and
the desired importance of their Ego.

Question / Theory:
Could our GENES, identified
as a composite called EGO, be our own personal GOD? We tend to pray, think, meditate, and, in essence, go within to address
God. Our genes created us and we would not be who we are without them. Without our genetic existence, no God could exist to us. For absolute clarity if you
did not exist, God could not exist to you. So, you have to be more important to you than God is to you. Ergo, our
genes must be our only practical God.
Assumed
authorities compete and try to threaten, bribe or wrestle away our genetic authority over ourselves in submission to their
assumed authority - so to obey them and to serve their god / genes / agenda.
By jumping allegiances, we sacredly serve them to their liking instead of serving ourselves and becoming what our genes give
us an opportunity to be.
God's desire is to be served
to the death. Our genes deserve to be served to our death. Egos tend to resent other authoritative egos as much as they resent
other authoritative gods.
Unlike dogma:
Our "genes / god / ego" is within – not external.
Our "genes / god / ego" does evolve and change during
our life cycles.
Our genes inwardly influence us more than any outside
“assumed” authority could.
Our genes are the source where our original personal
thoughts and thought impulses come from.
Like dogma:
By circumstance, we (some of our genes) are selfish, cruel
and evil just as god is depicted to be selfish, cruel and evil.
We, through observable behavior, outwardly or secretly,
boldly or timidly, operate as if we are number one. Other egos / gods, who observe and resent our doing that,
call it "ego" or "god-complex".
How many god do you think there has been?
There has probably been one personal god for almost each
and every ego.
My perspective is that the genes are a relatively new discovery (the double helix was discovered in 1952 by Watson
and Crick - if I recall) and when researchers and scientists go into vast depth on gene-mapping, I view that instead
of space, genetic info discoveries will be man's "final frontier". I view it is a given that our genes created us. Unlike
dogmatic views, I view that our genes evolve throughout our life-cycle and influence our moment by moment experiences. "Genes
trigger experiences - experience trigger genes."
We talk of chemistry - especially when meeting other people. I view that chemistry
is the "middle-man" between our genetic frequencies and our feelings. Our 2 emotions (do wants - don't wants and their intensities)
orchestrate our behaviors. Our insecure fears and desires always look for an "authority" to take away our fears and to satisfy
our desires. Because I view genes to be the most basic "hardwire" of the mechanics I've mentioned, the genes serve
best as being any god / authority in the formula. While alive, they, and their influence, are always with us. They even
influence our sleep. The anatomic system located in the primitive limbic system of our brain is another genetic-powered system
that automatically regulates and orchestrates our heart functions, endocrine systems and other non-attention life functions.
This may also be a source of random thought. No god orchestrated these functions - unless god and genes are synonymous.
Along with researching the ego / god / genes - I'm also on a tear to investigate
the mechanics of thought. If we could learn all we could know concerning these topics, I view we would dispel the heinous
and destructive Biblical God myths for good. Our animal genes have enough destructive influences. We don't need to continue
focusing on some imaginary and insane God / authority to put the blame on.
What one
person, who you know, would be impacted if sent to this site?
Any
