I'd like to be God (i think we all do)

Hey all,
hehe, post of conclusions in these thoughts about wisdom...
So, if this is the first time you're reading this blog, please read before these 3 posts, 1, 2 and 3 otherwise you'll thing i'm an antichrist, megalomaniac, or simply an ass writing nonsense...if it is too much, you can read this one directly anyway...
It is just a simple conclusion you can figure out by reading the title and the last post, but i think it is quite important, so it deserves a post itself.
The thing is: since the best you can get from "real" can only be achieved if you use in your favour all the knowledge you can have, be at the most places you can be, and have the more power to do the things you want, the conclusion i have is that the best you can get from life is if you were God. As chrsitians say, omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent.
This also seems to me a natural thing in men. You can see in everything around this will of having more power over "real" all the time. As Nietzsche says, it's a will to power, not over other people, but over "real".
But there are 2 considerations to be done in this matter, which most philosophies do not present.
The first is: this quest for power has to take into consideration all the conclusions on ethics we had in the older posts. I mean, it's impossible for men to be God if they're fighting between themselves all the time. We should have as much "grand style élargie" in life as possible, and thus take into consideration the existence and similiarity between we humans. Thus, wanting to be God have not to pass through steping over others, for the simple reason that it is not a state of balance. Following Kant, it does not feet into a categorical imperative.
The second is: although men want to be god, to be the closest possible to this doesn't mean neglecting our animal part: we are, even though Rousseau and Kant don't like, animals, with instincts. This means, if you don't feed your animal side, it will block you to develop in the other aspects of life. If you don't eat, you'll die, that's for sure. If you don't sleep, you can't do anything good either. If you don't express your sexuality, you spend your time thinking about this, and won't be able to focus on nothing else.
Now people may thing this is ambiguous: "you're defending that we should feed our instincts and in the same time try to be like God, which is (in concept) free of them". Mate, reality is quite clear in this matter: you're an animal. You have to live with this. So, you have to live the best you can with this condition. The best you'll ever be able to develop yourself in life will be when these 3 "animal conditions" are well feeded.
And thus we can fall into another misinterpretation: "if i'm inevitably attached to my instincts, why don't i live for them?". Well, the best you can do if you want to follow this way is trying to live like an animal, which is a thing i don't see plenty of people doing....
Just to conclude in a nice way, as in the Twiligh of the Idols : "It will be appreciated if I condense so essential and so new an insight into (...) theses. In that way I facilitate comprehension; in that way I provoke contradiction."
