*23 Apotheosis in mythology and psychology means the deifying of prominent figures and including them among the gods, or the veneration and glorification of someone or something. Yet apotheosis usually occurs in people's behavior in assessing oneself and in identifying with the mask of the personality or with traits by which an individual is upheld. Apotheosis is usually concealed in a latent form within all of us and only through internalization and the spiritual path do inner, previous unsuspected dependencies begin to be revealed.
