For in the experience of these planes the experience is not of our self. It may arise from thought of self, but the experience is not our self-actor and action are two, not one. What is this world? What are these thoughts, these sensations, these habits, these longings, these desires? They are the externalizations of the inmost spirit taking form in the matter-stuff and mind-stuff of the universe. Without that Supreme Self dominating the whole scene of creation, there would be no experiences, and it is because of the God in us, which is our very essence, that we do have experiences, but they are still fantasies of a mighty Being which the finite mind cannot comprehend.
