As you consider this, keep in mind that God is currently separating light from darkness. Each of these is a consciousness we choose from. We light the fire we burn by or we are the light to others on the path of life. Our choices collapse the indeterminate wave of infinity at rest. God is that infinity. If we create our world in darkness, we are separated from God's light in the final judgment of finite reality.
God produces reality. He makes and runs our bodies. He spins the planets and makes the sun shine. We do none of it. We think and we move. That's it. From there, we divide darkness from light or we embrace the darkness and shun the light. Either way, free will makes the outcome ours. Being 'in' the image of Christ puts us in the image of God. The image of God is the light in a dark place.
John 3
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

This is ridiculous, no one on this planet is god or even close to being like "God".
God can speak things into existence can you?
God can create planets can you?
God can raise the dead can you?
God can make it rain can you?
When I see humans start to do those things on their own then maybe I'll buy it, but for now this teaching does nothing but confirm what the scriptures said would happen in the last days.
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 2 Timothy 3:1-5
Just be yourself and honor God, trying to put yourself on the same level as The Almighty only makes you look silly.
