It is possible to become a Deity. That is what this is all about down here. To live by Christ's example, have Him power us in our weakness, and eventually receive our exaltation.
I don't know about "OWNING" our own "PERSONAL PLANETS" -- we will be far beyond such petty concepts such as ownership. We don't "OWN" anything. We won't care about "OWNING" anything. It won't be about that. All of our focus and concern will be on helping our children obtain the same blessings we have (exaltation). Everything we create will be towards that end; to bless our children. Just as Heavenly Father does with us now.
Moro. 7: 41
41 And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the
atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise.
Any time you see Atonement you can think "Exalation" - living with God and living the KIND of life God lives. For that is the reason for the Atonement...to bring us back into God's presence ... made spotless through the merits of Christ ... to dwell with God.
