We draw near to God by rising above our egos and by seeking to benefit others instead of ourselves. The more we rise above our egos and seek to benefit others, the more similar we become to God in quality.
This is the law of equivalence of form. If our qualities are opposite to God's qualities, we're far from God. If our qualities are similar to God's qualities, we're near to God.

It's not enough to simply rise above our egos. We have to connect with each other in mutual bestowal. The goal isn't to rise above our egos. The goal is to connect with others.
When we connect with each other in mutual bestowal, it's not simply about giving. It's about connecting with each other, feeling each other, sensing one another.
The different names of God, such as Elohim, Yahweh etc., represent different levels of attainment, meaning how close we are to God in quality. Which is why it's really important to put God's names back into The Bible because they reveal specific states of attainment.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
