Or even better ... become normal.
However, being normal can take some work ... undoing all the little messes your family and society left you, and a few of your own mistakes and regrets. Then finding a way ahead in this crazy, messed up world. It is worth trying though.
I think there is a truth to Cooper/Rothschild quote. They worked their way up from the ghetto slum to become some of the most powerful people on earth.
I don't know what other people think but I think it is a good idea to get all the other worldly ideas out of your head, like becoming an angel or a god. Like you say, it's better just to be an honest human being and drop as many pretenses as possible.
I remember one "notable" BKs I spoke to, one of the founders/chairperson of the Janki Foundation. He, at least, could admit he suffered from "delusions of grandeur" ... and is that not part of the attraction of becoming a BK?
