Thanks for sharing. Have you looked into the concept of the non-competitive transcendence of God? It's relevant to the question at the heart of the concern that underlies this idea.

Thanks. I agree with that. Christ is in us but does not consume us.

Yes.
Nor does our CO-operation with God's grace displace or detract from or steal from God any glory to which God alone is due. It's simply not possible.
As St. Iraneus said in "Against Heresies", "The glory of God is a living man; and the life of man consists in beholding God." God's glory is manifested in human beings who are truly alive in the fullness of their being, which is found in a deep relationship with God. St. Irenaeus points out that true life and fulfillment come from knowing and experiencing the divine, which is what we do when we participate in the sacraments, especially communion where we receive the body, blood, soul and divinity of the Son of God.
