Broadening of the being
When the consciousness is narrow and personal or shut in the body, it is difficult to receive from the Divine - the wider it expands, the more it can receive. A time comes when it feels as wide as the world and able to receive all the Divine into itself.

Self-enlargement has then to awaken to the perception of something exceeding itself, exceeding the personal manifestation.
