Lets step back from the abyss for a moment, and consider this carefully. The creator knows *everything*. But........what does it actually mean to know EVERYTHING? Knowing everything also includes the awareness of what it is like to NOT know everything. Thus, illusions of separation come into being. And they are infinitely vivid and real seeming. They don't actually come into being (they always existed), but I'm trying to word this in a way that will make the most sense to this illusory "you" reading these words.
And when i refer to an "illusory you" I'm not saying you will stop existing. Don't worry, haha. The real "you" is the consciousness looking out from the perspective of the ego that you presently identify with. It is eternal. So rest easy in that. Nobody is forcing you to let go of any reality you hold dear. When you are done sleeping, you wake up. It's that simple. Not complicated at all.
So basically, what this giant wall of text I've written here is getting around to saying is: the creator didn't "choose" to know itself. It just does. Automatically. It "appears" to choose within the illusion. This is just a knowing of what it is like to choose. All choices are explored or known. And this knowingness manifests as a series of levels of consciousness which we have come to know as "densities". These levels, or planes of existence, are products of consciousness latching onto the "knowingness" or "consciousness" of what it is like to be ignorant, to create, to grow, to wonder. The experience stops when the identification with these "objects" stop.
This post resonates with me deeply, and it speaks to the heart of the question which still puzzles me.
Are you saying that we are the creator seeing things from a narrowed perspective. I guess being a mind/body/spirit complex, creator is the spirit, mind is the perspective, body simply tag along with that perspective?
Isn't it a misnomer to say we are co-creators, since we are the creator itself, simply in different perspective?
If we are the different perspectives of the creator who is experiencing itself simultaneously through all these perspectives, creator is actually multitasking? It's a bit difficult for me to imagine, I can only notice myself focusing on one thing at a time, no matter how short the focus is. I think this is a core of my confusion, how unity awareness generate infinite focus...
Another thing, if all possibility are already known to the creator, what useful information do I bring back to "myself", since all knowledge are already known in the first place?
You said separation is simply the opposite side of unity, both has existed forever long, I still find difficult to make sense of my seemingly linear progression from separation to unity. Am I simply on a loop, unity to separation, separation to unity, unity to separation... And I just happened to be on separation to unity track of a particular cycle? The veil of forgetting is making this really difficult, I constantly ask myself why everything is the way it is.
