"Worship is an act of religious devotion usually directed towards a deity. The word is derived from the Old English weorþscipe, meaning worship, honour shown to an object,[1] which has been etymologised as "worthiness or worth-ship"—to give, at its simplest, worth to something.[2]

Evelyn Underhill (1946) defines worship thus: "The absolute acknowledgment of all that lies beyond us—the glory that fills heaven and earth. It is the response that conscious beings make to their Creator, to the Eternal Reality from which they came forth; to God, however they may think of Him or recognize Him, and whether He be realized through religion, through nature, through history, through science, art, or human life and character."[3] Worship asserts the reality of its object and defines its meaning by reference to it.[4]

An act of worship may be performed individually, in an informal or formal group, or by a designated leader."

All of the above involve a subject of worship: a deity. Even Underhill's "absolute acknowledgment of all that lies beyond us" is qualified immediately afterwards with "it is the response that conscious gods make to their creator". By sheer definition worship involves a deity, or creator.

I treat my 4 and a half year old son with far more than "significant importance", though I fall quite short of worshipping him. And you say "we" worship DMT here at the nexus. I consider the experience personally "sacred" (insofar as that word means spiritual, or divine), but have never referred to the substance itself as a "sacrament".

These words are all very charged, and I use some of them for want of more appropriate ones: I take issue with the word "spirituality", for example, because it assumes the existence of a deity or deities. But I employ it, because it would be pompous to invent a new word merely a shade away, and it would just confuse people. And I am spiritual, I believe.

But to worship is to subjugate oneself before a deity. I personally see no positive aspects to this.
