Creation from nothingness

Any physical creation exists within a
pre-determined set of bounds, making “creation” only an iteration
within a domain. Hence creation itself is without value.
Statistically, all creation will occur at some time; therefore,
significance lies in the experience, and nothing whatsoever in the
thing. What is the quality of experience? It is an interchange
between a symbol and the whole man, who, becoming abstracted, is
free to relate in a way that is not defined by the domain, since
thought and feeling are likewise “creations”. True existence for
the soul must lie outside creation, and therefore only take part
when there is no creation. No thought, no word, no act or sense or
feeling. Entire freedom from these allows action in another manner,
since it is not action as understood by this existence. Spirit. Has
no existence in this plane; only expression when not confined, and
experience when not hindered. Thought, activity, creations of the
minds, have only relative validity. Only the pure, free spirit is
absolute, which is so difficult to attain. So difficult to attain
because it is a test, to the find the conscious, or those willing
to relinquish co-Godhood, co-Creatorship. We cannot truly love or
appreciate what we might compete against. When we are free to
renounce creation (both the doing and the thing), then we are
worthy to receive the love of the True Creator, because until that
moment we are seeking to equal him, and after that moment we stand
in awe. He would not have created us to know him, for to create
something, truly, is to bring it forth from beyond the pale of
possibility. Therefore, in order for Him to create those would love
Him, they must have been created from nothingness, from a condition
of not knowing, not loving, with every chance in the world not to
know, and every other thing in creation that they have might have
loved otherwise. And then, a single world: not a proof, but an
announcement: “love Me that I am”. There is no love created, only
an unspoken mystery. This revelation is a revelation of the
existence of a truth, and not the truth itself. If the seeker is
created through a negative realization of what he is not, and then
pursues that mystery, and figures out all the unspoken things, and
discovers through his created self that the created self does not
exist, then he has transcended the condition of his own existence,
and voila, the act of true creation is performed. For at no time
during our inception were we already what we would become. The true
lover of God appears from nowhere, with no cause, and the existence
of this is our participation in the mystery of true creation, and
the fulfillment of our purpose, at least in one respect. To see
what is not there is creating sight; to discover what is hidden is
only a matter of time. Religion is not a hidden book; its text does
not exist, and yet the hands of true faith will hold it dear to the
heart, and become glorious in a new creation.
