The design of this universe grants unlimited freedom to every constituent at every level of universal organization. This design parameter is fulfilled by creating each individual constituent in the image of God: witnessing as the neutral subject, giving forth and manifesting by light, and receiving and feeling all by love.

Since each individual in its nature reflects the nature of the Creator, each individual is allowed and indeed expected to freely create according to its own desire and inspiration. Individuals of like desire and inspiration tend to come together to conjointly create things and experiences that fulfil their common desires and inspirations. This is the purpose of the planets, or spheres of collective life: to provide complete and perfect theatres for the magnificently diverse desires of the multitudes of creatures in our universe.

Billions of planets accommodate trillions of trillions of individuals who – in their varied planetary memberships – manifest forms and experiences across a very broad and deep spectrum of desire and vision. So does this universe wondrously and marvellously reflect the endless playful brilliance of the all-creating One!
