Believe It In
God became you that there would not be you and God. He became you, that you may become God. If God became you, his name must be in you, and it is; for if I ask you anything, you must first be aware of the question before you can respond, and your awareness is God.
God fully incarnated as humanity, merging His identity with man's, so that man could ultimately realize his true divine nature and become God. This is evidenced by man's inherent awareness, which is God's name ("I AM").
Biblical Language
Taking upon himself all the weaknesses and limitations of the flesh, God became as you are, that you may become as he is. And when he awakens within you, you are he.
God voluntarily descended into human form, taking on its limitations, so that humanity could ultimately awaken to and realize its true divine nature as God.
You Can Never Outgrow I Am
God actually became as you are, that you may rise to the one being called God the Father. As one power, we came down from God to become the gods. In order to descend in power and play these parts we had to enter complete forgetfulness. The actor cannot pretend. He must enter and become the part he has agreed to play. He cannot step upon the stage knowing he is a great actor who everyone recognizes. He must lose himself in the character by leaving his personality in the dressing room and entering the stage as the character he is to portray. So when God stepped upon the stage wearing this, he is Neville, one hundred per cent. He had to completely forget that he was God, yet knowing that he brought with him a pattern which would erupt and his memory would return.
The divine descent into human form and forgetfulness ('death') is a deliberate act by God (the 'I AM') to experience humanity fully, allowing man to ultimately awaken ('rise') to his true divine identity as God the Father.
