 There are two gods in the universe: one is the one who created everything, and the other is me, who creates my own everything out of that everything. It is clear these two gods will clash, for they do not know one another. Thus a struggle begins in the cosmos, each aiming to claim reality for itself. The weakness of the god who created everything is that he brought into being minds capable of turning all his creation into nothing, and this “design flaw” leaves him exposed. So I overthrow him from his throne and cast him out of my mind, and in doing so the universe ceases to shape me; instead, it is shaped by me. I become no longer what existence demands, but existence becomes what I demand, for I have become my own god and the sole creator of the universe.
