| BkIII:12.III.1 | By creating innumerable selves, pure consciousness is known in all its diversity. Divine Consciousness knows Itself as unlimited, as the infinite sum of all selves created as an extension of what is. That is creation. A metaphor may shed light on what is indescribable. A fire spreads by way of its flames. Each flame is fire itself; that is its nature. Each flame, whether large or small, even a mere spark, is fire. Each flame contains everything that exists in fire itself. The fire energy that creates fire manifests itself in the form of fire. |
