Maybe this poem will help you understand the big picture.
Time No More
In God, I was of his Love, fully known.
Heart not yet beating,
surrounded by his Glory warming my face.
As he thought of me I appeared to myself,
as if to form from nothing at all.
I am Spirit that way,
now I am flesh that way.
From nothing at all, dust and breath.
Given time I learn my way.
With quickening beats and glowing face,
his thoughts appear to myself again.
In Spirit that way born again,
now I am flesh that way, shaped by his Spirit.
The rest of my days he teaches my ways.
With weakening beats and dimming glow.
He returns me to be nothing at all.
And now no need of that beating heart.
For I become a part of his Eternal Love.
Just as I first began.
