Default Does it ever end?

http://dissipate and become part of the ether again

I've just read this post and I couldn't help but wonder does the evolution of our spirit ever ends? Is there this highest ''rank'' we all desire to reach? If this highest rank exists what's next? You win! Game over. Can we choose to play all of this once more or just dissipate and become part of the ether again??

And if there is a non-stop evolution of our spirit how is that possible? Does this mean that if we play ''the game'' long enough we will reach this stage that we will/could be equal to a God's one (I'm not saying I could be better than God )?

I'm not being skeptic. I just want to hear your opinion on this subject...

Lava, we are God/Source's dream. Source experiences itself through us. We're just different expressions of Source. So we are Source. We each have our own subjective world to grow and play in. As for doing all over again, I'd say this knowledge is worth it, so yes I would do it all over again...

It’s not so clear it ever began. It can cease when we are ‘complete’.

No, it’s infinite, there are always more ranks.

A higher rank (or a lower one).

Dissipating totally is the same as being one with God.

I'm not being skeptic. I just want to hear your opinion on this subject...
We are all aspects of the Divine. Since Spirit is endless and is always expressing Itself in greater ways, so do we. While all of the qualities of God exist within us, we can never be the allness of God.

It's dangerous to see it as an accomplishment... like it's some distant state you are trying to 'achieve'. Being present is less about trying to be present and more about letting go of what is preventing you from being present.

Put effort into being more aware of yourself and your interconnection within your world. It's true that there is not separation between you and your world... the enlightened feeling comes when you experience both your separateness and your interconnectedness to your world.

Since it is ‘endless’ I would say expressing itself in more ways. There is no greater to infinity.

Only by ceasing (to be separate) can we again be the allness. It is possible to perceive the allness though.
