I don’t see these two views as incompatible, and seeing Earth as the lowest density you can get, which equates well to some descriptions of hell, doesn’t make it ‘less than’ - @BlackMagik didn’t say that at all.
That it IS a prison for many is true by definition, we can’t get out by simply choosing and then come back at will. To open the door and just leave means having to suicide, there are many walls to keep us here, emotional, psychological, magical and not least, the elites and Archons that feed on people’s energy treating Earth like a farm.
Creativity is celestial though, it’s got nothing to do with being on this planet as it comes from the spirit in us.
I went to pick a bone with yhvh and for me there’s almost nothing there. It’s barely sentient, I know imps with more ability to communicate. It’s name has been used by something else and it’s pretty beat up and withdrawn.
Which matches some of the gnosis I’m reading above, many spirits have taken this title, some have had it put upon them, the beast that is the xtian “God” is a weird frankengod moslty made by man as the Creator now. That’s why, imo, it’s really quite psychopathic and evil - because it’s been formed by bad people looking for power over millennia.
Kind of like how elites are worshiping ‘Satan’ but they made that up too. Humans are creator beings, is it a surprise we make gods too? Shitty ones, sadly. We wrote the bible as well, proof in point.
The closest I’ve found so far to find a god of all to talk to, animistaically, is a representation of the uni/multi-verse. The whole universe is the “god” of itself, and we and everything in it are how it thinks to itself. It’s not male or female, it’s not an entity as we are used to them, it’s the universe. It’s not alone. There are many universes (I don’t mean dimensions and probabilistic offshoots of this one).
I call the animistic personification of that, “Leviathan”. It’s the intra-universe reflection of the creature you get if you go outside the universe and look back at it, which I call an Akvan (for personal reasons - I know Akvan is a name already used.) There’s lots of Akvans - when I went outside they seemed to hang in nothing as far as you can imagine, sort of sleeping, and the universes inside them were their dreams. I’m not yet clear if I think of that as the same leviathan as the one mentioned in the bible, that description is so limited it’s hard to compare, Lovecraft was closer.
In short, there is no god but a bunch of spirits that are the dreams of the universe, all figuring it out together. Some take roles for more or less order, they give each other titles, and generally live out the dreams because that’s thoughts do.
