Becoming is superior to being.

Without the knowing of divinity by man can deity survive?

Wole Soyinka

We, the Gods, wish to learn from you humans in your quest for truth.

Mazisi Kunene

Let Us make the human being in our own image and likeness.

The Torah

The notion that divinity is outside the human being makes people feel free to brutalise the human person/being.

Bessie Head

Existence precedes essence.

Existentialism

Shva’s trident symbolises humankind as the divinity, the temple and the worshipper.

Daniel Odier

God has no experience of material conditions and so She needs human experience, which is unique in combining abstract possibility and the concreteness of material conditions. This experience is distilled and assimilated by God and contributes to Her own development. Dion Fortune

Human experience, integrating the abstract and the concrete, is distilled and assimilated by God, who has no experience of material conditions, and contributes to her development.

The distillation of human experience, which represents the interaction of the abstractions represented by possibilities with the concrete realities of actual experience in a material framework, is assimilated by God and contributes to the development of God.

Man makes God in Yoruba thought.

Man is made by God in Yoruba thought. Karen Barber

It is through human actions that the divine sparks that fell to earth when the vessels enclosing the spheres were shattered under the force of divine light at creation are liberated from their material casings and enabled to rise to their divine sphere, thereby facilitating the creation of cosmic unity.

Isaac Luria

These processes shape the tapestry of the universe as it is woven by That which some refer to as chance, others as the force that makes existence possible, some as Ultimate Being. Some see this Enabler as the relationship between chance and possibility. This Relationship enables the human being to participate in the structuring of individual and social existence. It also enables human involvement with the metaphysical relationships that make individual and social activity possible. Human individual and social activity, in turn, make possible the actualisation of particular metaphysical relations.

The engagement in individual and social existence and their metaphysical relationships enables the human being to operate as an active agent in constituting the ground of being. The actualisation of the ground of being through human action is an ontological activity that complements the nature of this Ground as constitutive of existence. In this aspect of its character, it predates and is independent of humanity. The ground of being can be understood, therefore, to be both constituted by and constitutive of existence.
