| BkII:6.III.2 | Let's start by remembering that God is the lord of time. God is the Creator of everything. Nothing, including form, can exist without His will. God created the body with holiness and beauty; everything He creates is holy, beautiful, and perfect. Imagine form as existing in pure potentiality, as thought, not yet born, waiting to be conceived, a power yet to become action. He created the creatures with their particular ways of being, each expressing the glory of God in its own way. The world of form exists for God to be known in Him, with Him, and through Him. That is the purpose of creation: to know yourself in God and therefore to be. |
