Pleading to Exist


Isn’t this strange, that a created being should take part in its own creation? Can a caricature hold the pencil in his artist’s hand? Can the characters of your own story edit your words? Can the figments of your own imagination tell you what to imagine?

Yet here we are, created beings pleading with our Creator, “Grant us life! Good life! Nice things! Be out there, in the open! Get more involved with your world!”

Here we are, in the inner chamber of the Cosmic Mind, where it is determined whether we should be or not be, participating in that decision.

We are created beings, yet there is something of us that lies beyond creation.

Maybe we are co-creators of our own life too ?

Congratulations; most succesful description of the human being.
We are G-d's assistants in the Universe. Little Gods tending to become great. But we need humility; this is the key for this, co-creation.
