There is nothing that you can't do if you set your mind to it. Whether or not God exists, shouldn't everyone aspire to become more powerful than they could ever dream of?

I have been saying this all along, GOD is our subconscious and nirvana within us, and we can aspire to be enlightened like GOD, heaven can be achieved right here on Earth. If you accomplish your goals

Yes because hubris is a myth invented by the elites to keep the working man in his place.

If you truly believe in God, then such an aspiration is impossible to achieve and thus pointless. If you don't believe, then you're aspiring to be better than something you think doesn't exist, which is also pointless.

A far more reasonable aspiration is to become the best you that you can be.

That depends on how one defines power, and from which place the aspiration is borne.

Ideally though, exaltation is precisely this though.

We should aspire to providing prosperity for our species, not go after spooks.
