"Creative Healing by way of tradition? Whose? How to discern?" Yes, creative healing delivered by men and women who would have had no knowledge or relationship with the god of the West (or Middle East). Healers and Shamans who had/have never heard of this god you speak of. Healers and practitioners like myself who successfully work with people, even though we have no connection with your god, but do have a spirit guide that comes when needed.
"The obstacle of the death of God is not something that can be overcome; it is an existential dilemma that can only be struggled over and grappled with until, ultimately, one's life is defined by it."
Since god is dead, surely there is nothing to overcome, not even the grief that comes when a loved one dies. The struggles of life come down to one thing: individual responsibility for actions.
Man is the animal who lives in the Polis. We are not atoms but a living organism part of the Main. You cannot rid yourself of the Divine. But you can ignore. What does the conciousness looking at night sky or the living body infer insisting disorder random chaos accident only. Hell we know know we are bio-electric organisms shaped by what Sheldrake calls morphogenic fields and Michael Levin of Tufts agrees to an extent that the pattern is external to the organism
I "cannot rid myself of the Divine"? And yet I have. I am a living organ that chooses what I do, where I go and who I go with. I am a living organ who consciously looked at the night sky and saw stars and the Moon. I never once saw a Divine. I saw a brook that had cut its own way through the earth to become a stream, then a river, and then an ocean, and still no Divine. I saw the brook and wanted to follow it. I saw the stars and wanted to go to them. I never saw the Divine.
I have helped people find themselves through exercise, talking and treatment. Perhaps I'm the Divine.
Now, if morphogenic means that our actions spread across the universe and affect the universe, then perhaps that accounts for the genocidal nature of humans since this Divine was, according to legend, a maniac to put Hitler, Mao and Stalin to shame. But when I read of their deeds, I don't see the Divine.
Did this Sheldrake ever have a client come to him and thank him for his help?
And Levin? Coming from Harvard is actually a red line now; that place is toast.
He may well say that our cells are of the same structure that caused the implosion of a previous universe when its expansion created our universe. We are, after all, made up of cosmic matter...I wonder what this Divine bloke is made of.
Objectivism holds that individuals’ lives are their own, that their self-responsibility is to use their reason to formulate their values and a strategy for achieving them. Socially, Objectivism holds with the trader principle that rational individuals can interact voluntarily to mutual benefit, and that should be the norm in society. By contrast, Stirner is an anti-rationalist. He holds that one’s reason is a subjective, constraining capacity that we have that holds back one’s true self-development. Consequently, in Stirner’s account, one has to take an adversarial stance not only against society with all of its arbitrary rules and restrictions, but also against one’s own reason and emotions very often, which he sees as undermining true development. He’s an anarchist egoist in contrast to Rand’s objectivist egoism.
I think a living person can pretend they have no concept that of greater than and lesser than. Pose as tone deaf to the concept the human is a single organism in a ocean of realization whose form as molecule or man is present in everything. Being is. Beyond subject and object is primordial self arising wisdom called Divine God. From the eternal arises both freedom and self arising wisdom. Man in imitation of God creates as well. In the wrong spirit in my opinion everything is measured by our insane Left Brain. Iain McGilchrist in the Master and the Emissary says that the Left Brain dominance is in brain structure. It is an incredibly important structural and functional part of the brain, allowing us to perceive depth and enabling the two sides of our brain to communicate The communication from Right Hemisphere to Left is impeded by the the corpus callosum. Which was thought formerly as allowing for communication between both hemispheres of the brain, transferring motor, sensory, and cognitive information. And yes this is so. However this structure censors Right Brain communication and permits the Left Hemisphere to not recognize the information.
Right Brain per brain research of Hemispheres is more embedded in actual reality. Left Brain in a delusion of rationality it generates.
“Meaning emerges from engagement with the world, not from abstract contemplation of it.” ― Iain McGilchrist,
“the left hemisphere sees truth as internal coherence of the system, not correspondence with the reality we experience.” ― Iain McGilchrist,
Just my two cents bro. Not antagonistic or disagreeable. Same USA just profoundly different start points as one rightly expects. You or AI can respond. I like to read and write my mind. And I hazard over past ten years a very different direction arose from reading old writers out of season.

I'l, come back to this tomorrow. It's late tonight. And I haven't got AI to write out my answers yet, so you'll just have to wait.
