The Tree Of Life
Why are you weak? Why are you limited in this little garment of flesh? Because of God's incarnation. He is not pretending he is in a human body. God had to empty himself of all that is he. Though he was rich he became poor, that by his poverty you may become rich. His incarnation is a complete embodiment wherein He took on all of the limitations of human knowledge. Incarnating myself in a little time slot called 1905, I took upon myself all of the beliefs that are related to that time. Born a Caucasian under the British flag I adopted the American flag. These are my restrictions. The beliefs I inherited as a Britisher and adopted as an American were woven together within this time slot, and they are all limited. In order to make them real I had to make it a complete incarnation. If I did not it would not be a real incarnation and only a masquerade, and God is not masquerading in this world. You completely emptied yourself of your true identity to take upon yourself the limitations and restrictions of this world. And while you are here, God's pattern unfolds from within and you discover that you are He.
Human weakness and limitation are a direct result of God's complete and literal incarnation, where He fully emptied Himself of His divine identity to become human. This is not a pretense but a total embodiment of all human restrictions, including time, place, and inherited beliefs. Through this process, God's pattern unfolds within the individual, leading to the discovery that 'you are He' (God).
