| BkVII:17.II.4 | And the Word said, “Let us give to humankind everything so that they can become one with Our heart if they wish, and become a co-participant of creation.” Thus the divinity of the triune God was given to humanity. And so it was that the human was endowed with a consciousness capable of knowing love, truth, and holiness like no other creature, that they be aware of themselves and everything that exists, moves, and is. And the Word said, “Let them choose freely.” And free will was given to humankind, and with it the ability to discern. And God saw that everything was perfect. |
