Sounds like a good reason for posting. That it's not to help everybody here, but has that side effect, I'd say.

Everything created is a self limitation of consciousness, if we didn't self limit our powers on some level, we'd be back at perfection and that's not the point.
I know this idea is popular, that we incarnate with deciding to limit ourselves so we can have experience. But is that what it is? Could it be that we are not limited but growing and unfolding and being given opportunities to grow more and become more whole? That it's not that we decided to limit consciousness but are born with potential to grow consciousness. Is a seed a limited consciousness or a bundle of potential? Is a limited consciousness the same as potential?

Self limiting our powers to not be perfect is a popular idea too. But why look at it that way? What is it that makes this true or feel true or be something to try to believe?

There's the idea that whatever is now is perfect, as is, in an unfolding way. It's not limited power it's exactly as it exists and is perfect in the now moment, right?

These two ideas are popular and seem to contradict. On one hand we are supposed to believe we limited our power to enjoy being imperfect, and then we are supposed to believe that everything is perfect as it is now in a unfolding and growing way.

I am tempted to reject that we limit our perfection of ourselves to be here because being in the now is a perfect state. Maybe someone can reconcile the two ideas so I don't have to reject that we limit ourselves.
