"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The Word became flesh and dwells in us." (John 1) Our physical birth is God's incarnation, for incarnation signifies the assumption by a divine being of human or animal form. When you were born your little human form was assumed by God. Christmas marks the departure from God's incarnation and your birth as God.

It was God’s birth as a man.
Umm, it was God Who became man, iirc.
bump for the title alone
Merry ChristMas
Ah, God became man so that man can become God. An interesting way to catch the reality of the word that became flesh and made us all partakers of his divinity
What the heck??
“Every child born of woman is God incarnate, or the child could not be aware that he is. His consciousness is God's incarnation. The world, not knowing this, celebrates the wrong event; for Christmas is when man becomes conscious of being God.”
This is a perversion of Scripture. No man, aside from Christ, was EVER “God.”
Sounds like you must be a Mormon.
mega dittoes!!!!!!!!1
John 14:28
Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
In his early lectures [9], [10], [11] and books [12], [13], Neville dealt solely with what he called The Law, the technique of creating one's physical reality through imagining. ...
“In response to questions about the fear of eternal hell and damnation that many have, Neville replied with a quote *[19] from Scripture, “’Not one shall be lost in all my holy mountain.’ You are God and how could God eternally condemn Himself?” Until we awaken and make this discovery, he said, we are privileged to use a Law, given by God, to “cushion the blows of life.”[20] The Law, stated succinctly is this, In Neville's words: “[Imagining creates reality]”
“...... your birth as God.”
Not according to Scripture as the Psalmist said man was made a little lower than the angels.
I think you’ve been carried away by error.
John 1:14 is to be read with the understanding of the mystery of the Godhead.
That verse is explaining that God’s Spirit, God’s mind, even his very righteous plan for mankind, was made audibly and visibly manifest to man, by meeting mankind on their very mortal level.
The flesh, that God made to dwell in, was itself created by God, having a beginning, was subject to the limitations of flesh, even to mortal death.
“To wit, that God was IN Christ reconciling the world unto himself”. 2Cor. 5:19
“God was manifest IN the flesh..” 1Tim. 3:16
Jesus Christ declared that “God is a Spirit” (Jn 4:24). And we know that God cannot die.
Jesus Christ said to his disciples, “..handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have”. Luke 24:30.
The apostle Paul said that “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God”. 1Cor. 15:50
Jesus Christ declared that, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”. John 6:63
Jesus Christ declared that “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father....the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth IN me, he doeth the works.” John 14:9,10
“..Christ was raised up from the DEAD by the glory of the Father..”. Rom. 6:4
Peter explained it quite well, when he preached to Cornelius and others present: “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power....for God was with him....whom they slew, and hanged on a tree; Him God raised up the third day....that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.” Acts 10:38-42
The one and only God dwelled in the Christ (who was a man complete with a soul), left his body so that it would die on the cross, re-entered and raised him up, and dwells in him even now, fulfilling Isaiah 9:6, where the ‘child born’ is called “Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, ‘the everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace”.
I’m glad the Son was born and given!
Existential mumbo-jumbo.
Gotta love it when a writer/speaker justifies their loopy beliefs by saying you have to find someone who has achieved a higher spiritual plane....

Twisted language. Twisted logic. Twisted conslusion.

Borrows Christian terminology, but isn't remotely Christian.
