Well, Vivec is arguably the biggest narcissist and egoist ever, and on top of that a lying scoundrel. One should take what the hear from him with a grains of salt. Still, CHIM is I believe canon (Mankar mentions it), and one should also mention the Walking Ways, the Wheel, the Tower (not the Towers) and all that stuff. Anyway, I remember it being implied somewhere that Vivec using CHIM created two dimensions (possibly in the Imperial Library), one where he is born a god and his adventures go as they did in the Sermons and didn't kill Nerevar. Then there is the other where he is a mortal, kills Nerevar along with Almalexia and Sotha Sil (like this if you consider MK's stuff canon: http://www.imperial-library.info/content/foul-murder) and then taps into the heart and achieved apotheosis.
