Quote: The span of a God’s love can perhaps equally hold within its vision the existences of all individuals at one time in an infinite loving glance that beholds each person, seeing each with all his or her peculiar characteristics and tendencies. Such a God’s glance would delight in each person’s difference from each other person. This would not be a blanket love, a soupy porridge of a glance in which individuality melted, but a love based on a full understanding of each individual. The emotion of love brings you closest to an understanding of the nature of All That Is. — Dorothy Jane Roberts (1929–1984) from The Seth Material {1963-1983?}
Comment: God has given people the ability to turn potentials into actuals, i.e., growth. The potentials in an infinite universe are limitless therefore growth is ever-expansive – forever. Our capacity is ever-increasing.
We will eventually be able to revisit all of the possibilities we missed due to circumstances, negligence, or poor choices. We will be given a chance to accomplish all of the opportunities we left unfulfilled.

Quotes:
• The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. — Oliver Wendell Holmes (1841-1935) American Poet
• The more you zoom in and focus on the details, the closer to the invisible and immeasurable qualities – like consciousness and energies – you get. And expanding outwards, into the cosmos, you learn more about the invisible or perceptible things. — Adrianne Elizabeth Lenker (1991-) American musician
Comment: When you make someone your enemy, you shrink your consciousness; you shrink your options; you limit your possible points of view. The narrower your world view(s), the smaller your world.
Visualization: There was a TV show called “Bonanza.” It opened with a map being consumed by fire expanding from the center outward. Think of it as a positive metaphor: an increase of consciousness, an unfolding of personality, a growing of the soul?
Life gets consumed as experience is expanded, only to nurture new growth.
