The Act of Incarnation NOT Re-incarnation

First, let's get a good definition of the word 'incarnation' so that you are clear in what I am referring to:
Incarnation is a noun.

* an incarnate being or form.

* a living being embodying a deity or spirit.

* assumption of human form or nature.

*the Incarnation, ( sometimes lowercase ) Theology . the doctrine that the second person of the Trinity assumed human form in the person of Jesus Christ and is completely both God and man.

* a person or thing regarded as embodying or exhibiting some quality, idea, or the like: The leading dancer is the incarnation of grace.

* the act of incarnating.

* state of being incarnated.

Now, that that's all cleared up.

At the level of our self-comprehension, most of you know and understand the nature of God.  This self-knowing, which is God-knowing, has the possibility of an eternal expansion.  As individual intelligence, we/you communicate with each other and you/we are able to respond to each other, so in doing so you/we establish the fact that intelligence responds to intelligence. So I think that this same universal law must hold true. This same universal law must hold good, whether you/we think of finite intelligence responding to finite intelligence or Infinite Intelligence responding to finite intelligence. Think about it........intelligence is the same in ESSENCE wherever we find it. So I would conclude that Infinite Intelligence responds to us by the very necessity of being true to Its own Nature.

But you may ask, How does it respond?  I think that it can respond only by corresponding, which means that the Infinite Intelligence responds to us by a direct impartation of Itself through us.  "The highest God and innermost God is One God." So with Jesus we may say" "The Father and I are One."  Whatever Intelligence you/we posses is some degree of the One Intelligence, which you/we call God.

The Infinite Mind, then, can and does impart Itself to the finite, through the act of incarnation.  So I think the progress of the human race is a result of that process whereby Intelligence passes by successive degrees of incarnation, through evolution, into the human mind.
