H,
There is not a subjugation of the individual in God. It is the other way
around: it is the realization of the individual. It is not going smaller; it is
going bigger. This is what we must always realize. There is never a need to put
ourselves down. This is not God’s intention. He is not building self doubt, he
is not angling for the annihilation of who we are. It is not about being subpar
or never enough. This is not some kind of spiritual eugenics.

You will find no joy either way: the striving for imperfection or the lure
of false perfection. The new heaven and the new earth and the new human that
transcends both will be built on eternal principles. It is not who we were being
made into but who we were always meant to be. There is no end to the
individual. We can all exist in the mind of God. This is the power and beauty
of the Godhead.

This does not mean we are fixed. It merely outlines the purpose of the
great fix. “We are being made into who we will forever be”, Willard tells us. This
is not the end of the individual but the beginning.
