| BkI:9.II.1 | God, for the infinite joy of creating, eternally extended Himself from Himself, without failing to be what He is. In an act of unsurpassed joy, an act that is not an action but pure creative potential, He extended into a creative movement. In a game of creative beauty and ineffable joy—for there is no greater joy for the Creator than to create eternally—pure spirit came forth from the eternal matrix of God Himself. God created Himself as pure spirit in an inexplicable and indescribable movement of divine self giving birth to itself. All-embracing substance began a subtle movement from which a wisp of wind emerged. A soft, subtle ray of light emerged as pure spirit from an unchanging brilliance. The uncreated was born. From within the unshakable came a movement that emerged as pure spirit. |
