The truth is that if we are just as necessary to God as God is to us, we have therein the real principle and the real need of divine unity. We all must admit that it is inconceivable to think of the family of human souls as being one with God if neither were necessary to the other; but the fact that they are all necessary to each other gives an eternal reason for endless unity between the Infinite and every soul in existence. The same idea is applicable to the individual I AM and the manifested life of the personality. Our conclusion here must be that although the individual I AM is perfect in being, living in the absolute, still manifestation through the personality is absolutely necessary to the conscious existence of the I AM.
