What's the difference between narcissistic self-aggrandizement and pantheism?
Quoting Apollodorus
In philosophical (Platonic) life, piety is practicing philosophy whose aim is to "become as godlike as possible" = "serving one's own God", i.e., one's own self.
Quoting Apollodorus
On a personal level, piety is being good to one's own self, the inner divine intelligence, by recognizing its divine identity and acting according to what is good for the self (nous) in Platonic terms.

Pantheism is a view that the entirety of the universe taken all together is God. You seem to be talking about something more like autotheism.
