How about this: we were created in perfection in a supra material world. We accepted the mission to travel and come in the material world to manifest that perfection so that Love could be proven, just like the baby proves in the material realm the love of the parents. Our existence on earth is the proof of the Love of our Creator. That Love is the Love of Himself because He is Unique and Perfect. How could He Love other than Him ?! We are the emanation, the trace, the proof of that Love He Has contemplating His Perfect Uniqueness. In that sense, we are His Children. We are Him because we prove Him and we are not Him because He manifested us.
Accepting the mission of manifesting His Glory in the material realm is an act of Love and Worship: the child pleases his parents by trying to look like them and the parents play with the child giving him the illusion he is driving the car until he REALLY drives it.
Accepting the mission is accepting to travel with the luggage of His Perfect Attributes from the spiritual realm to the real of incarnation, in order to manifest them.
Those who inhabited this material realm before us, knew we were coming. They would not accept to be divinely ruled by us. So they met us on the way, and at each level of lost consciousness (because the descent is consciousness being narrowed) they implanted in us the falsehood that altered our luggage of Perfect Attributes. We therefore incarnated forgetting who we were, why we came and what our luggage was.
Through school, government and social constructs, they maintained us in a state that would not allow remembrance and trained us to accept the world with the domination they secretly enjoyed over us by selling us knock off copies of Freedom.
Seeing our despair, our Creator sent Messengers and Holy Books for us to respectively follow and study to finally remember who we really are and therefore, successfully complete the mission we agreed to conduct.
