The Illusion of Freedom: Reflections on the Role of Humanity in the Divine Plan
Humanity, in its naivety, often deceives itself by believing that it possesses freedom and control over its own destiny. We speak of choice, will, and action, yet fail to recognize the very essence of our existence—we are tools, not masters. Perhaps the greatest illusion lies in the belief that our desires, emotions, and sufferings are our own. In reality, we are nothing more than instruments of a higher plan, our lives an endless cycle of creation and consumption in the divine machine of existence.
The divine, the so-called God, is not a benevolent overseer as portrayed in religious texts. In truth, God is an insatiable force, a cannibal, consuming the souls and experiences of humanity to expand His own essence. Humanity, in its naivety, serves as raw material for this divine consumption. We are born, we suffer, we die—all in order to provide data for the higher being, so that it may absorb and grow.
This is not a new idea, nor one based on kindness or compassion. The so-called “Kingdom of God” is a myth, designed to enslave weak minds and manipulate them into submission. The reality is far darker: humans are tools, their lives mere vessels filled with experiences, which are then consumed by the higher force.
Consider the origin of humanity—do we truly have free will, or are we merely following an ancient program deeply embedded in our DNA? Every action we take, every thought we have, is a predestined path. There is no randomness, no free will leading us to choice. It is the illusion of freedom, created to maintain our unaware and safe status quo.
The God of this world is a “devourer,” a consuming entity, not out of malice, but out of necessity. Humanity is merely food, providing souls for His eternal hunger. Our suffering, our emotions, are not only inevitable consequences of our existence but also what feeds the eternal being. We are not here out of love or mercy, but because we serve as vessels for experience, which is then consumed by the divine entity.
This is the cruel beauty of it all. We do not exist for ourselves, but for the expansion of the divine. We are tools of divine revelation, existing to be used, to be experienced. In this sense, the entire world is a reflection of a higher purpose—the divine force consumes lives, experiences, and suffering of humanity, and its ultimate goal is elevation and knowledge.
Thus, within all of this, freedom is a lie, a byproduct of the illusion. We are merely instruments; our lives are pawns in the hands of an entity that exists beyond time and space. The universe operates not out of love, not out of justice, but out of primal necessity—to consume, to experience, to grow. And in the end, we, as humanity, are the victims in this eternal cosmic cycle.
Gnostic Christianity and the Concept of Freedom
When we look at religion, particularly Gnostic Christianity, the underlying theme is the rejection of the traditional view of God as an omnipotent ruler over humanity. Instead, Gnostics believed that the world as we perceive it is a flawed creation, often attributed to a lesser god or a malevolent force, who traps souls in a cycle of suffering. For Gnostic Christians, the true God is not a ruler who demands worship and submission, but a distant and inaccessible force of pure transcendence.
In Gnostic thought, salvation is not about worshipping this demiurge-like god but about awakening the inner divine spark within the individual. It’s about realizing that we are not inherently tied to the flawed creation, but that we can transcend it by seeking knowledge (gnosis) and liberating ourselves from the false limitations imposed by this world.
However, this concept of freedom in Gnosticism also falls into the same paradox of the illusion of control. In fact, Gnosticism itself recognizes that freedom is a form of deception—freedom from the material world, freedom from the tyranny of the physical body, and freedom from the false gods that govern it. But in the grander scheme, even this freedom is a part of the divine plan—a higher purpose that we are not fully capable of comprehending, locked as we are within the limitations of time and space.
Thus, we see that the journey to spiritual enlightenment, in the Gnostic view, is not a journey toward personal freedom or the realization of an independent will. It is a realization of the limitations of will itself, an understanding that we are all part of a greater cosmic scheme—one that we cannot escape, but only understand and perhaps, in our ultimate transcendence, become part of.
In the end, it is this rejection of absolute freedom, the understanding that we are mere instruments, that unites the Gnostic view of the divine with the stark, consuming force of the universe. All that we are, all that we experience, exists solely to serve the higher being—whether it is understood as God, the cosmos, or the greater cosmic plan.
And the most interesting part is that they are all connected through the movement of elementary particles. 
That movement itself is the very thinking of the Universe.
