Egotheism
Egotheism or autotheism (from Greek autos, 'self', and theos, 'god') is the belief in the divinity of oneself or the potential for self-deification.[1][2][3] This concept has appeared in various philosophical, religious, and cultural contexts throughout history, emphasizing the immanence of the divine or the individual's potential to achieve a godlike state.[4] While critics often interpret autotheism as self-idolatry or hubris,[5] proponents view it as a form of spiritual enlightenment or personal transcendence.[6]
