This will change your whole view on TES. You have been warned. I will give you the more undestandable version of saying it.

Anyways, CHIM is a state of being where you are able to reshape the universe in anyway you desire. It is a state above any Aedra or Daedra. The only known beings to achieve CHIM are Talos and Vivec.

The Godhead is the "dreamer" of the TES universe. Everything in the universe is basically his dream, in a way.

So CHIM is basically understanding and beleiving that you're a figment of the Godhead's imagination, but having the arrogance to insist that you're still an independent entity despite realizing fully that you are just a miniscule part of the Godhead. Amaranth is the step above CHIM, but I'm not going to get into it. Yes, I know, it's a pretty stupid thing.
