Well, I think we are reaching some common ground here and this is the nub of it:

And finally (for this post), in CWG how does a being in
the "God-Godding" slice of things

-- come to REALIZE his/her/its "situation" in the scheme of
things?

-- come to REALIZE (and live AS) the normally unmanifested
God in the midst of "God-Godding"?


One of the percepts of CWG is There is nothing to do. Enlightenment comes when one realizes that one is already enlightened and simply chooses to know this in one's experience. But beyond this is the realization that being is primal and your choice is always perfect for your soul's intention. This makes perfect sense from the understanding that we are divine beings who may experience "harm" (or anything else) but who cannot be harmed in any way.

You can only be yourself. But that is no "restriction" since you can be (or not be) anything you choose. The devotee's frustration is that one can never be oneself by striving to be like one's guru (or anyone else). And as this is true of a "guru" so it is true of God. Again this naturally follows from the understanding that there is only one of us. As God repeatedly observes in CWG: "There is only one of us. The only difference between us is that I know this."
