Why Continue as Finite Mind if I’m Infinite Being?

"Because my finite mind cannot comprehend why the infinite would pass through the portal of ‘I am’ into this illusion, I sometimes think: who am I to say I won’t keep playing along? Is it a greater surrender to remember I’m infinite, or to continue playing my part as finite? Rupert says: ‘Why can’t you do both? Why can’t you continue as a finite mind, but open to your true nature as God’s infinite being, and use your finite mind in its service? Why did you put the finite and the infinite in conflict with each other, rather than one being the expression of the other? That’s like saying, I’m afraid that I might feel immense love but feel no impulse to look after my children. Could you imagine feeling immense love and not wanting to express that love as your care for your children? When love shines in a human heart, it’s natural for it to overflow and be expressed in some form, some kind of compassionate, caring work, some kind of artistic creativity. Could you imagine feeling love and not feeling some impulse to share it?’"
