`No. He is not. Even though we must try to ascertain our *own* truth.. it is ever a short stopping place to reflect and gather and then move on agian. We are certainly not in the "place" to judge ourselves correctly nor completely nor even truthfully. We are always operating from our own limited and blinded "toolset". Consequently, we cannot be our own "gods" with any real faith in our own understanding. We must try though, and we must fail. We must seek a higher relationship again and agian to aide us in our HUMBLED approach at Knowing ourselves as G-d knows us. WE learn to truely love ourselves with humbleness and joy in the process, as G-d loves us... we begin to COMPREHEND it instead of rationally understand it. It becomes what we are instead of what we understand or what we practice.`
`"...Rely not upon your own understanding.." was good advise and wise council.`
`Consider we would have such a limited sphere of activity if we were truely a "closed system" w/o need of a relationship to the greater portions of ourselves and God.`
`I suppose the KEY to everyting is not self understanding, it is instead, "relationship".`

    Thank you.
