God is portrayed in most stories as someone who is poor, not rich. Now think about the psychology behind this. Say you have a very loving parent. You have two choices to portray them. Either rich or poor. 99% of the time a person is inclined to portray them as rich. With luxurious clothes. There is a bias toward aesthetic appeal and positive association. That narrative fits with the cultural conditioning too. But that is not the case with the real people who have had supernatural experience or have some sort of divine connection. They describe a messenger of God who appeared themselves as a common man, a stranger with no significance at all. When you have an experience like that, you are reporting with your authentic self. There is no ego inflation there. That is something you must look into.
