God is subconscious and earth is conscious mind. It is not until the conscious mind becomes one with the subconscious mind that the conscious mind understands the "collective consciousness" of the subconscious mind accumilated and retained there in eternity (based on Gen.3 that the TOL saw that the TOK was good for gaining wisdom (verse 6).

I think Catholicism is the only JC religion that truly has goddess worship. The Pope is quite the Mary worshipper. Also Catholicism has taken many of the gods and goddesses of old and canonized them as Saints. Take my namesake for instance – Brighid (Or Brigit, Bride etc.). There is a patron saint that mysteriously has almost all the qualities of the goddess Brigid!

Some interesting worship of this saint can be found at:

That was Brigit of Sweden was it not? (Bridgit to me always sounds like a "blond" for some reason and maybe that is why).

A goddess is never a saint and saints are never worshiped. Godessess are qualities that are to be admired in encultured. We can say that in Catholicism they are not personified as goddess but stimulated by the cardinal virtues. Notice how the Cardinal virtues and the Capital sins compliment each other but can convict anyone of us at any time we think of them.
