You increase yourself when you reject everything other than the All, and when you have rejected it, the All will be present to you...The All had no need to *come* in order to be present. If it is *not* present, the reason is that it is *you* who have distanced yourself from it. "Distancing yourself" does not mean leaving it to go someplace else - for it would be there, too. Rather it means turning away from the All, despite the fact that it is there.
