The Bible makes it very clear that we are God’s creation, not gods ourselves. I have no patience for people that try to blur those lines. What did Satan tell Eve in the garden? Gotta be on the lookout for false prophets that look to deceive us and cause our fall.

True, I agree. I am obviously not God or a part of God, yet He calls us to seek Him in humility and repentance through His Son Jesus as His children correct?
The kind of Hindu concept of “realizing you are god” seems to be a kind of self aggrandizing source of moral decay throughout the West today.
To be a child of God is not to be God or equal to God. Yet it comes with its own “realization” that I think the Buddhists like Watts are referring to.
