Do you consider yourself God, God's representative on Earth, a prophet, or just a very clear individual?

definition
"I am not God, nor a representative; I am simply awake to the godliness that flows through us all."
According to Osho, there is no personal God to be or represent; only godliness pervading existence. He is not God, not a representative, and not a prophet. Like Buddha, he stands neither theist nor atheist, simply awake to the same godliness we all share. 'Bhagwan' means the blessed, awakened one—the only difference is awareness, not status or knowledge.
He’s not God or God’s messenger—just someone awake to the sacredness in everything, which you can awaken to too.
