You could say that, and it would be accurate from a perspective of being. But, it may be more accurate to say that an absolutely awake consciousness contains the thought form of growth within it, and so that thought form plays out and has always been playing out and always will play out, eternally.
The very knowingness of an unlimited being takes that knowingness to existence. In actuality, there was no "taking it to existence" because existence is all that has ever been. There never was a state of nothingness, or a state of lack followed by a state of abundance. Creation doesn't happen the way most people seem to think it does. Abundance is all that has ever been. It's like carving a boat out of a block of wood. That boat was already "in there". So from the perspective of your ego, you simply forgot everything that was not the boat. This is how creation
actually happens.
Consciousness is the reservoir of existence -- the continuum of knowing. It knows all. God is complete. The nature of consciousness is to be aware, to be conscious. It is the TEMPLATE for knowledge itself.
What is the difference between the perfectly simulated experience of something, and the
actual "something". Do you see? There actually is no difference. "Things" have no reality in and above there ability to be experienced. They simply ARE experience. There is no need for the thing and the experience, just the experience. It *IS* the thing. And that is the reality of the situation. We are God's knowingness of what is like to "BE" us. At this level, the difference between "actual" and "potential" is moot. They are one in the same.
This is intelligent infinity.
Some people wonder why a ostensibly perfect being would need to create "lesser" intelligences if it was indeed perfectly complete. And the answer is it didn't, and doesn't. We ARE that being. The thought form of growth or expansion is a manifestation of THAT being's all knowingness. Growth cannot exist in the presence of omniscience. Ignorance and enlightenment are opposites -- they can't exist in the same place at the same point in "time".
You could say our seemingly separate existence maintains and enriches the perfection of the creator. At least, in the sense that the sphere of infinity could not be complete without the knowingness that we identify as our "personalities" or "souls" or "points of consciousness".
Hope this helps to facilitate your expansion into infinity.
