Hence did God create the cosmic array: from His Initiative, to energy, to sub-atomic particles, to elements, to molecules, to simple life, to animal, to self-conscious animal (man, having therefore a spiritual aspect in virtue of self-consciousness), to angels of various orders and dimensions, and He at the summit of all. Essential to God’s own dynamic is Love, and essential to Love is that greatest value in all of reality—Free Will. Un-free initiative can never attain to Love, thence the inseparability of Free Will in the nature of all created beings. For as Father and Son are united in the Spirit of Love, thus is all Creation destined, made for, and meant to partake in the great Divine Love Affair.

O well.
