| BkI:12.I.4 | The soul constantly creates by the mere fact of being. The soul is pure thought, just as life is. As we have already remembered, there is only pure thought. What happened then? The soul decided by its own free will to create a will separate from that of its Creator. It asked itself: “What would happen if I believed in a different way than God believes? What would happen if I created a universe in which I am autonomous? What would happen if I believe the opposite of love? If I create the opposite of truth? God has no opposite, but can I create one? God has no limits, but can I create a limited reality that imposes limits on love and truth? God is totality but can I create a separate part of that totality?” |
