Deity represents a subconscious ability to interact with the Universal mind. An unconscious connection collectively links the thoughts of each member of the family of mankind. Yet, this collective unconscious remains hidden from the most conscious awareness. Our truest relationship to the magickal Self remains an active operation of the subconscious, or imagination. That level of faculty which lay carefully beneath the surface of the conscious mind acting as a buffer zone between waking reality and magickal truth. If not for the diplomatic abilities of the subconscious, and its subsequent relationship to human divinity, deity would have no reason to exist.
Man pleads and supplicates to deity out of an unconscious desire to manifest universal truth. Deity acts as a repository for mankind's hopes and fears, without which none would find spiritual comfort. Therefore, deity remains an active, necessary aspect of humanity's spiritual, emotional, and psychological needs. Deity becomes the manifestation of human unconscious, magickal Self. Worship of said form enables the performance of magick. It is therefore the subtle manipulation of higher power within ourselves that enacts deity and its subsequent "supernatural" works.
