The Steps of Creation

[anagogy]

What about this section:

The intelligent infinity discerned a concept. This concept was discerned due to freedom of will of awareness. This concept was finity. This was the first and primal paradox or distortion of the Law of One. Thus the one intelligent infinity invested itself in an exploration of many-ness. Due to the infinite possibilities of intelligent infinity there is no ending to many-ness. The exploration, thus, is free to continue infinitely in an eternal present. (Ra, 13.12)

This sounds to me like proper creating. Manyness was something totally new and it was discerned and being explored (Let be) in free will. In unity there is no finity. No-thing. Thus whitout Creator's free decision there could easily be no finity explored in manyness.

Well, I would somewhat disagree that it was totally new. In the same way that the spirit complex exists there in potential in animals, as it is something inherent and waiting to be tapped, so too was the manyness inherent in the creator. Infinity contains everything. What we call "finity" is a slice, or cross section, of infinity/unity. Just like the white light contains all the colors, but in order to experience them, a prism of separation must be introduced. So it was something already latent in potential. So the only thing that changed was the organization factor. By introducing the distorting effect of the prism, separation was thereby experienced. This forced the Logos manifestation down into a "lower energy shell" of infinity (a more distorted perspective of infinity). But that was necessary in order for creation to occur. In order to have the illusion of creation, there has to be an illusion of lack. Unity/infinity is like a full canvas, a plenum of everything, the illusion was like sweeping that away in favor of a blank canvas. This created a void, which then had the potential of being filled by creative acts of will.

So I don't think it was a totally new thing, so much as it was the "illusion of a totally new thing". Also, from my perspective this process of reaching the natural base state of infinity/unity, and then again discerning the concept of finity and then reaching for that manifestation has been something that occurs in every octave, and I don't believe there was a "beginning octave" in the normal way we would think of it in rational cause/effect terms. I think that is something that redounds outwards to the limits of infinity as well. Dreams inside of dreams inside of dreams. Or mirrored reflection, within reflections, within reflections. There are an infinity of "simulations" and awareness has the capacity to put on "identities" thereby confining perception to more restricted views of infinity like the illusion we experience, or taking off said identity and allowing perception to settle back into the more encompassing infinite absolute state. The "focusing" onto a specific state is the very function of the logos manifestation. The focusing of unity is love.
