Before he was in the Wired, Masami Eiri worked at Tachibana Labs. His actions there are indicative that his intentions to become a God. He encoded the Schumann Resonance, a low frequency the earth emits which purportedly connects us all at an unconscious level. He then inserted that code into the 7th Generation protocol for PC connectivity to attach all human beings as one neural network. While he did that, he uploaded himself or a program of himself to the Wired. He did not do this for the good of humankind. His sole purpose was to create a new avenue to have direct access people as his subjects or followers. He believed in this so much that he lost his job at Tachibana Labs. He committed suicide to usher in the transition to the Wired where he believed he would be a supreme being.
His attitude towards the human race is one of indifference. To him, humanity is a means to an end. They are purely there to make him a God. His attitude toward them is not one of compassion or scorn but rather disaffection. He talks of them as if they are a cog in a machine built and orchestrated by him. They are tools at his disposal in his realm to him, Lain included. Lain being the force that she is, he must woo her or manipulate her to bend to his will. His dialogues with Lain reinforce his need of her power. He starts early when Lain is adapting to the Wired. One of his tricks is to use the façade of Lain’s father to impose a visage of authority and emotion. He tells Lain that there is no God. There is only one God and he is in the Wired. Throughout the series, he uses techniques like these to manipulate Lain.
