This has been a long time coming, but as of today, we’re live.

Perhaps, we’re alive? No? Hard to be sure what the correct phrasing should be for this. We’ve had this site up as only a placeholder for a while now, getting material ready for launch. As of today, we’re finally ready to go live.

We will add more to this site in the coming days, weeks, and months. But, for now, we wanted to ensure that there was enough to justify your time and interest.

We are the Church of the Divine Self or the CotDS. We are dedicated to raising people up instead of dragging people down. Unfortunately, all religions throughout history have two things in common, the desire for control of others and the denial of the self. We reject both concepts as detrimental to the individual and society.

We exist to show there is another way. The way of the Divine Self, the enlightened and self-aware Ego.

Behind your eyes is that which is aware of your being. Inside of you, behind the mask of yourself, is the dreamer, that which is not only you but all of reality. You are god, and the mask you wear should not be discarded but embraced. Your Ego, the Divine Self that you are, is your role to play in this life and should not be abandoned.

You are perfect, just as you are. There is nothing to do except to realize that behind the mask of yourself is the actor playing a role. Being aware of this will allow you to embrace your role and, in turn, play it to the best of your ability.

This is why were are here. For you. For all of us. So that together, we can leave behind the dogmatic religious controls and manipulations of the past.

Welcome, to the Church of the Divine Self.
