It would seem to moi that to explore the questions posed in the OP, one would first have to define Creator and then define self.
Is the Creator a thing that can take you to lunch and talk over your spiritual career plans? Does it have a sense of self solid enough to support an agenda or goals of any sort?
Personally, since you asked, I doubt any of that is true. I doubt the Creator is a thing with any kind of selfhood.
What is it then, some sort of robot? I doubt that, too.
I know the term "The Creator" sounds like a functionary's office or title, but I think that may be misleading. I picture the Creator as more elemental than the elements, as it were, more fundamental than existence. It is implicit in all that has form and its nature, in the realm of form, is to gather bits together to form structure and narrative.
And what are you? You are a gathering of a few bits to form a slight structure and a brief narrative. But inside of that is the implicit Creator thing that is.......well....... you can take it from here............
They don't call it a mystery for nuthin'.
