As I understand it, Vam, they remain in the realm of possibility and, as your viewpoint brings them into your experience, a change in viewpoint or awareness will manifest the possibility into your experience. If your view includes what some would call cosmic consciousness, or the entire realm of possibility, you will bring this into your experience - the possibility of the god within you - the one.
