The direction of creation

Typically (too often!) Christians make God responsible for everything... And are then appalled that God is responsible for... everything! 


If God really had made everything from nothing - then there is nowhere to go, nothing to do - and nobody to do it. 

Creation should be understood as creation-from-something, in the direction of something-more. 

Creation is not from one-thing (it is not one-thing) but from many things (many Beings) in harmonious love. 


(originating in many things...) Whence then cometh the coherence of creation - what is the origin of this love? Why is not creation the war of each against all?

Because of love - insofar as love. 


Love is between the Beings of reality. And God began love.

(Because God is two, not one: heavenly Parents, not just Father. It was their mutual love that began love.)

God began love, God continues with love. Anyone else who desires can join-in. 


The direction of creation is from the passive and accepting love of childhood, towards the active and autonomous love of maturity...

From helping with creation, towards contributing to creation.
