ok so this idea just came to me what do you all think. drugs are really spirit gods wanting to guide or take control of our minds. kinda like the book botany of desire but much more powerful. some have greater ideals than others. they influence those in power to make the other ones illegal trying to suppress there power. kinda rambling what do you think??

I don't see anything so specific occuring, and I don't see anything at the level of "Gods" fighting in the ways that humans imagine. It only takes one small step in human growth to no longer feel so separated from or pitted against other parts of life, so it doesn't make sense that anything with a wider perspective than us would perceive such things as struggle or a fight.
What I do see is two forces pulling humanity towards different futures.
In one future we act collectively. People are just socially conditioned members of society, everyone happily in their little slot. In this future humanity becomes almost like a single organism that thinks collectively. We don't have our own ideas and thoughts. Instead our thoughts and ideas are the ones that pass through our culture.
In another future we retain our individuality and move forward as a collection of individuals that think independently, but feel enough empathy and respect for each other that we are still able to work well together.
One way or another we must learn to work togther if we are to survive long term. But are we connected by our shared ideas, or are we connected by a feeling that despite being different we are all in this together? That is the question.
Of course there is no right or wrong future. Those concepts of good or bad are very human and don't exist outside our minds. They are just terms we assign things. So there is no great struggle occuring and there is no wrong path.
My advice would be that everyone makes clear which future they want. Cast your vote on the future of humanity by deciding what kind of future you want to see. Free individuals like the Federation, or a collective like the Borg (to use an analogy).
Make a choice soon as the votes are being counted by weighing the leaning of our collective conciousness. Not choosing means you don't throw the weight of your awareness in either direction. Basically your vote doesn't get counted.
Of course there may even be a way for everyone to win, but I don't have time to explain it right now. Though it still involves clearly deciding which future you want to help bring about, so either way you should decide.

God is in Reach and relates to our very common understanding of ourselves..other people and existence..in general God is Very Forgiving..but most of the types of Mind Control are to just get your Attention..then and then..by the most part far away..and then still sometimes to the Gear...to get things settled..and to be dead under the Sun..which radiates Photon emissions to Dust..of the Cosmic Soul of our Being..only Blackness can overcome God..and thats where your shadow lies..in the Cosmic Soul of Eternity..there in and there out..you can have a good Relationship with God!

The End game is to be relating to all People and things..not just God..and in that very Precise way, God is just joking Around..and remember joking rhymes with yoking..and thats the essence of your Soul! Yellow or Orange..whatever...

i'd say gods are symbols of human aspects, ie: eros is the goddess of love, ares is the god of war
so obviously someone who tries to cultivate love in their life is being influenced by eros whereas someone obsessed with winning and competition is more ruled by ares.
in magic you can "summon" a god as a meditation to bring more of that quality into your consciousness. this of course, is entirely symbolic--yet the abstract can become the reality.
