The Two Layers of the Universe
The trifecta is the Creator, the Chooser, and The Doer
The question has been posed before, is Jesus God?
Are Buddhas Gods? Why is it that some people pray to Prophets like they are the very Gods that they preach?

We already accept that the sun shining is quite consistent with the laws of … well consistency! Physics, simply *describes these movements, and attempts to perfectly model / predict them. However, they move by their own laws, Physics is simply a description of these laws. That is why Physics is also interchangeable with Physical Laws. The sun shines pertaining to its own laws, as it is. The Sun won’t all of a sudden say: “tomorrow i’m gonna shine in this direction.” This is based on Ontology, because of the Sun did this, then it wouldn’t be the Sun, it would be some weird Human Sun god thing. It isn’t.

In fact, humanity believes that Human beings are the only being / entity in the Universe with *choice. We go beyond the automatic, gear like turnings of the Universe. We can choose (they tell us). Yet Alcoholics keep drinking, and wars keep happening. In my opinion, even the wiring of the brain that gives birth to consciousness, is gear-like, and keeps turning as is. We are as much a rolling stone as well.. a rolling stone.
So then if the entirety of the Universe pertains to gear like machinations, causal movements, even if some are far-far more complex then others, then what moved first? Is it all mechanical? Or automated?

The underlying consciousness, or spirit, behind all this, is what some call God. From the definition of “Chooser”, then perhaps the only being that has real choice is this Spirit, underlying the layer we interact with daily. The sun shines, clouds move, and you keep doing your human thing. As much (choice) as you have, you’re not gonna wake up one day and start caw-ing like a Rooster haha
Is the Chooser, or the only one apart from the causal machinations, necessarily the Creator? I don’t think that has to be true. The Creator could have very well created the underlying Spirit as well, so it is difficult to say. But this then describes how a regular man could very well become a “God-like” being. Nobody in their right mind would say the Buddha meditated, and therefore became the Creator… that makes no sense, B doesn’t come before A. BUT what they mean is he touched upon God, something deeper than the regular realm we deal with of Automatons. He became a Chooser / (non-human, non-mechanical)-being, touching upon something deeper than our regular experience.
By this logic, he left his ontology, and therefore became a God. God, is our only word to describe such a being. But this being as described above is not necessarily the Creator. So therefore, we mix and match the words non-material being with God which is not necessarily always or logically has to be a Creator.
