In this podcast episode, Charlie and Brian explore the concept of **Theosis** or **Divinization**, which is the belief that humans can become divine. They discuss how **early Christian teachings**, especially in Orthodox traditions, emphasize the idea that humans are meant to grow into the likeness of God. Referencing theologians like **Athanasius** and early Christian texts, they explain that this teaching has been downplayed or transformed over time to control spiritual narratives. Charlie and Brian delve into the idea of **the Divine Council**, **Elohim**, and the **image of God**, highlighting humanity's intrinsic divine nature. They also talk about the transformational role of **humility** and knowing one's place within the cosmic order. The episode challenges the conventional understanding of **hell**, **purgatory**, and **Gehanna** and emphasizes interconnectedness, **panentheism**, and the unity of all life. The discussion ties back to **Christ's teachings** on humility, the light within all beings, and how embracing our divine nature leads to spiritual growth and empowerment.
