Pre-existence
I came out from that Source that has no origin. It is the Origin of all! And I came into a world that seems to begin and end. That is how God expands Himself. He takes upon Himself the limit of contraction – the limit of opacity; that, having reached the limit, He can again begin to expand. There is no limit to expansion, and no limit to translucency. So, He sends part of Himself off to go beyond what He was only by first reaching the limit of contraction. And that is how God is perpetually expanding Himself. And we are the “sons of God.” But it takes all the “sons” to make God!
God expands His creative power and wisdom by first taking upon Himself the 'limit of contraction' and 'opacity,' which is the human experience in the world of 'death.' By fully immersing Himself in limitation, God can then expand beyond His previous state. Humanity, as the 'sons of God,' are parts of God sent forth to undergo this process, and their collective return, expanded by experience, constitutes the full realization of God.
You Dare To Assume
But God lowered Himself down to the limit of man – the limit of contraction, the limit of opacity – that he may, in this state of complete oblivion to Who he really is, burst it and start expanding beyond what He was prior to the decision to come down into this state. This is how God expands. He expands and expands and expands. So, He comes down into this state by assuming the limit that is man.
God's expansion is achieved by voluntarily limiting Himself and descending into the human state of contraction and oblivion. This experience of limitation allows God to burst forth and expand beyond His previous state, making the human journey a divine process of growth.
