Who was it who deemed that you can not be your own maker?

God?

[fallen_samael]

Only for as long as you choose to believe that what he says is of import.

Otherwise, he's only just another voice. Easy enough to ignore, if one can find a way.

[againstgod]

Don't believe it.

In the end is our choice.

[halffaced]

Do you want an answer?

[fallen_samael]

Would I have asked if that weren't the case?

[halffaced]

Whoever may have deemed it so, it is only perpetuated as fact by those who choose to believe it.

Would you believe me, if I told you otherwise?

[fallen_samael]

Even belief is a choice.

And I had made mine a long time ago.

What would you have told me, if I had asked?

[holymadonna]

That would be--

The ones who created us.

[fallen_samael]

I find the concept offensive.

We are who we chose to be for as long as we choose to overcome the function for which we were created for.

[holymadonna]

That is an interesting point of view you have.

What if we choose to fulfill our purpose?

[fallen_samael]

Then it will be a life wasted on following what others dictate.

I for one will not be a tool to be conveniently discarded once the task is done.

Eric Erickson theorized that to fully create oneself, one had to choose their own name.

Ken Wilbur writes that we are evolving to become the controllers and makers of our own world, shapers of our own destiny.

Both quite after my own time. But to answer your question, those with power who wish to keep it.

[fallen_samael]

Power over another exists only for as long as that power is acknowledged.

Severe the ties that bind and it matters no longer who is creator and who is created.

[tinyvampiregod]

Ahh but what type of person it would take to realize that the ties of power are only what an one is giving to another.

And the fear of some to take control on their own.

[fallen_samael]

I fear nothing.
