Quoted By:
God in this state is a homogeonized stasis. He is the Totality of Reality, All Alone. However the self-knowing pattern of God continues. God’s Omniscience spreads outside of itself to form the Logos (or word of God). Because God is All of existence, the Logos is also God.
God’s Omniscience then aplies to his Omnipotence to produce his Purpose. God’s purpose is to glorify itself. The way that God glorifies itself is through creating. So God’s purpose is to create the most glorious creation possible. What is that?
It starts with the Mystic.
The mystic soul is a soul which has gained knowledge of the Godhead, through it’s own self-awareness. By awareness turning in upon itself and thusly becoming aware of it’s essential existence, it gains unitive knowledge of the Divine Ground of its Being. Now, in the mystical state, the awareness of the soul instead becomes the awareness of God.
A more glorious mystic soul than this, through God’s intervention, is one that is aware of the Logos as well. God imprints information upon the mystical soul, so that God perceives his Will. God perceives the Divine Will as Joy (much how the fulfillment of human desires leads to joy in humans). The God within the mystic(the Holy Spirit) is finally aware of its creation, true omniscience.
