God Only Acts

Now, the word “Yod He Vav He” translated “I AM” has as its primary meaning “to fall; to cause to fall; to blow; to cause the wind to blow.” One being containing all is the one who fell and caused the fall. This was all predetermined, for it was God’s plan. One God containing the gods (all sons of the Most High) fell and caused to fall so that the one God may rise one by one from this world of sin and death. God was one in the beginning and he is one in the end. We are told in Isaiah, “I will gather you one by one, O people of Israel.” We are all gathered back into the same being we were before, but infinitely enhanced by the experience of our fall into the world of sin and death. I say to everyone, you are gods, sons of the Most High; nevertheless you will die like men (everyone dies here) and fall as one god fragmented into infinite beings. Then all will be put together again to form the one man, this time infinitely greater than he was before the fall. ... God achieves his purpose by limiting himself to the limit called man, the limit of contraction and when He breaks the shell, you not only return to what you were before that the world was, but go beyond it.

The fall of humanity was a predetermined divine plan, inherent in the meaning of God's name (Yod He Vav He). The one God, containing all divine beings, fragmented into infinite individuals to experience the world of sin and death. This experience, though a fall, ultimately leads to an infinitely enhanced return to the original unity, fulfilling God's purpose of expansion beyond the initial state.

Power And Wisdom

You see, when you emptied yourself of your power and wisdom to take on the form of a slave in the world of time, it was at once a tragedy and yet a triumph. Just like a sucker, which breathes and feeds on its parent, knows tremendous tragedy when detached and planted separately -but it becomes the parent because of the separation. So your separation is a tragedy and yet a victory, for you do become aware of being God the Father because of it. The fall into decay and death was purposely planned.

Humanity's 'fall' into the world of decay and death, involving the self-emptying of divine power and wisdom, was a pre-planned act. This separation, though tragic, is ultimately a triumph, as it leads to an enhanced awareness of one's true identity as God the Father.
