God’s Superabundance Overflowing Within Itself

When listening to you, I sometimes reach a state where it feels like there’s no world, like coming out of the womb. The first thought that arises is, ‘I don’t want to come out, I want to go back in.’ Nowhere in myself can I find the impulse to have arisen into thinking and perceiving, or to have come into separation. How can this be accounted for? Rupert says: ‘It is out of God’s superabundance of itself that it overflows within itself and gives birth to itself in us as the self in each of us. It’s not an impulse that you as an individual have. It’s not you as an individual that births yourself into existence. It’s out of God’s superabundance of itself that it overflows within itself, for no reason – just as an overflowing of its own superabundance within itself.’
