But you will say, at some point in your saying, that God created the world and everything in it. And yes, of course. God created as Wisdom allowed but consider that the world and everything in it is a dream of God creation. Furthermore I’m not trying to pin all the bad things in the world on God [like your ‘justifications’ always get defined into doing]. Because I know. God created spirit things. The real thing is the Realm of Wisdom [formerly known as the Kingdom of Heaven before you ‘realists’ ruined the term]. God created “man” in “His” [sic] image: spirit creation made in “the image” and given “free will”. What the concept ‘created in “His” [sic] image with free will’ really amounts to is that the spirit thing, “man”, was given all creative powers and God with “His” [sic] Wisdom “stepped” away and left the “free will” of “His” [sic] creation to get about creating.
Everything that you think is bad about this creation, everything you fear — call it “Evil” as we do — is not ‘bad’ or ‘evil’ because it is not real. It is merely a state of being not-spirit not-enlightened. It is the state of things as they work out ever imperceptibly slowly to become the manifest Realm of Wisdom (which, in spirit form, has always been ‘at hand’ as Jesus many times stated).
Beyond its initial creation — I’ll grant that one to God/Wisdom — the world and all that is in it is nothing more than everything the creation of the Creator has created with free will. The creation of the Creator, of course, is you and me. (And everybody else. And everybody that is and everybody that was). You may say we all are dreamers, because we create in dreams. All we see in this world is a collective dream created by creatures made in the image of the Creator and given free will license to create. It is nonetheless not real. At all. The spirit is real. The world and things of the world, including the very concept of evil, is not real. We’ve gone and made a scary and frightening and hurtful thing. We did. (But there is beauty and peace and kindness too, don’t ever forget that).
As the math has already shown in the post previous: the time of the unreal is as nothing when set in the context of the spirit, or of what is real!
