What does it mean to be a heretic? Obviously, one can only be a heretic in relation to some orthodoxy; generally speaking, if you say "I am a heretic", it means that you are comparing yourself against some belief that you acquired previously. When I say "I am a heretic", I mean that I have taken the beliefs that poisoned my mind, and removed the poison, as if to suck it out with my mouth and spit it out.

There are many beliefs that one can be poisoned with that have different variations on the same theme: that you either believe that the doctrine spoken is the truth, or you are in error and must correct the error. Deliberate heresy allows one to take a doctrine that one had been told to adhere to, and redefine it as it suits one's needs.

There are many horrendous doctrines that I have accumulated in my life, from more than one flavor of Christianity, from philosophy, from mysticism, from fiction, from Hinduism, from Buddhism, and many other such ideas that have been planted within me. The result is chaos: doctrines bounce off of each other, argue with each other, and one finally at some point rejects them all, and there is an illusion of silence.

But within one's deepest mind, they are merely locked away, and it is as if one is missing a portion of oneself. So, opening the door again, a conflagration comes pouring out from a dark place in one's soul, and hopefully one has a way of dealing with this conflagration of conflicting ideas which have been simmering beneath the surface for so long.

So, one crowns oneself Pope, since there is only a lack of audacity that keeps people from being the popes of their own personal set of doctrines, and one determines what to do with these ideas, how to orient them within oneself, and having done so, one has on one's hand a new theology, or a definition of a new God.

There is a great deal of abuse that could go along with defining God, for God is a powerful being, indeed. One should be careful that one does not hurt oneself or anyone else, and so the heretical doctrine may become a new Orthodoxy which one proclaims as the truth, probably to the annoyance of everyone.

But does one really need to proclaim it? If one truly believes that one has defined God, there is nothing left to be done. One could start a cult, but this is not necessary. One could sell books to enrich oneself, but perhaps the best God is simple enough that a book need not be written about said God.

There are many doctrines to choose from: many different Christs, many Devils, monotheisms, henotheisms, dualisms, trinities, atheisms, and nihilisms. One could create an elaborate book that one considers to be holy and infallible, one could set oneself up as some kind of great leader or healer, but it is mostly simply necessary for one's former heresy to take care of the fundamental problems that the universe and the individual faces, without bringing them down into the pit.

So, in my heresy, does humanity evolve toward a goal I could make money selling to people? No, the goal has already been achieved within my soul. Does the universe evolve? No, the illusion of being separate from eternity is destroyed by bringing the conscious beings within it up into a state of bliss, fearlessness, love, and freedom. Do they have to die for this to happen? Perhaps this is the most dangerous doctrine to the death cults called religions of the Western world: No. Is this God bound by materiality? No.

How do humans achieve salvation? They don't have to do anything, and especially they do not need to die; there is a double-predestination to salvation for all: each conscious being is chosen from birth to reach toward the light of freedom within eternity, and through whatever means, reaches it. Is there a moral law? No. Is there karma? No. What happens to bad people? They have a double-predestination toward salvation as well. Is there a Hell? There is no moral law, so no one needs to go to Hell. Is there Free Will? No, there is a double-predestination toward salvation that all beings are journeying on. Do beings need to reincarnate to work out their karma? No, there is no karma. Free Will comes after salvation is achieved, and pushes one to choose their actions voluntarily from a variety of choices, not between Good and Evil. What about evidence that this theology isn't true? It is an illusion.

Does one need Jesus? No. Does one need to worship? No. The audacity of creating one's own heresy is that one believes in oneself, that one believes in one's ability to believe as one chooses, not that some other person has the ability to define one's God, and that one may do with this power as one pleases. Most religions sell you both the disease and the cure. My theology proclaims that one is already cured, and there is thus no disease to take away.
