Stages of Growth
The three stages of growth, human responsibility, and why the Fall was possible during growth.
What is the realm of God's direct dominion and how does God relate to us during this time?
God's indirect dominion is a necessary growth period where humans mature by fulfilling their unique responsibility, guided by divine principles, not direct control. This freedom allows for genuine character development and the capacity for true love. Upon completing this phase, individuals transition to direct dominion, living in perfect unity and spontaneous alignment with God's will, signifying the ultimate purpose of creation and the realization of "God with us."
What is the realm of God's indirect dominion and how does God relate to us during this time?
God's indirect dominion is the period when creation, including humanity, grows autonomously through three stages (formation, growth, completion) according to divine principle. God supervises indirectly, relating to the results. Humans have a unique portion of responsibility; their fulfillment is essential to reach maturity and enter God's direct dominion, where humanity lives in perfect unity with God.
What are the 3 stages of growth, what happens during this time, and why was the Fall possible then?
All existence, from creation to the human spirit, progresses through three stages: formation, growth, and completion. This reflects God's ordered creative process. While all creation grows indirectly under God's dominion, humans uniquely bear a portion of responsibility in their growth. Fulfilling this leads to individual perfection and the realm of God's direct dominion, uniting us with His heart and purpose.
