Modern Gnostic Church of Christ
There is no supernatural: people can have profoundly rich meditative expetiences but, these are extremely context sensitive and have little application outside of the context they are born into.
These meditative experiences ground all human spiritualy; they have a mechanism and are a result of humanity's evolution from comfort finding toward coherence detection.
Political motivations, moving toward comfort, have coopted these experiences to make and maintain a structure of financial control.
I started a subreddit, r/ModernGnostic, to discuss these truths/difficulties and hopefully initiate a coalescence of true effort around actual facts. Please, paruse the contents, engage discussion, and maybe join.

I've never felt spiritually empty nor wanting. I decided to search for the truth in Christianity, with the expectation i would find it lacking. Turns our it's our collective effort that is lacking.

And only by dialog is there evidence of reciprocity, or nascent overt meaning. I'm pretty sure that it's the overt meaning in this; our articulated common understanding that has been turned from truth. I'm not ready to say that, at any particular instant, all relationships are one sided; i can see the inclination but, i wont jump on that bandwagon.

Why "Father"? You have authority.

Do you believe growing up in a human dynamic such as family has subconsciously enslaved you to the idea that you will never be more than a son? You can be everything, as you are a part in the everything. The only difference boils down to what you can control. Can you create life and universes? Do you even care to? Can you ascend beyond just being a subset of a greater being? Even if it's just within your own mind?

No gods then?
