| BkI:9.IV.1 | God in his infinite and pure potential conceived the idea of individuality. God, in a creative unequaled daring, by the pure joy of creating in love, extended the pure thought of love so as to know Himself as a uniqueness in which the part remains the whole. Thus pure soul was born from the bowels of perfect spirit like a ray of light emerging from the sun. The pure soul—which is light, which is love, which is God—rests in the fullness of being one with God, while yet remaining itself. God becomes individual without failing to be fully conscious of being the whole. Now God is both the one and the many. In that way, God Himself extends to the pure soul in all His divinity. At this level angels, cherubim, seraphim, and celestial beings exist. At this level they are particles of light that dance the merry dance of life in space without limit. Particles of light emerge from the subtle movement of the ray of light that arises from everything. |
