At this time of meta-tation, we reflect on a lesson in A Course in Miracles on the subject of 'creation' (my own commentary is in 'blue' below the text) -
A familiarity with the Course's teaching will help the reader here, yet these essential points hold. We ever begin with Oneness itself, since that eternal condition is prior to all other conditions that arise in the play of creation (the inter-activity of space-time). All relations and movements inhere in The One.
In-joy,

At this time of meta-tation, we reflect on a lesson in A Course in Miracles on the subject of 'creation' (my own commentary is in 'blue' below the text) -
Section 11. What is Creation?
Creation is the sum of all God's Thoughts, in number infinite, and everywhere without all limit. Only love creates, and only like itself. There was no time when all that it created was not there. Nor will there be a time when anything that it created suffers any loss. Forever and forever are God's Thoughts exactly as they were and as they are, unchanged through time and after time is done.
God's Thoughts are given all the power that their own Creator has. For He would add to love by its extension. Thus His Son shares in creation, and must therefore share in power to create. What God has willed to be forever One will still be One when time is over; and will not be changed throughout the course of time, remaining as it was before the thought of time began.
The One Creation of 'God' is timeless in its original nature, no matter what arises in the play of 'space-time', being a journey of 'learning' to rejoin with Spirit, one's original innocence.
Creation is the opposite of all illusions, for creation is the truth. Creation is the holy Son of God, for in creation is His Will complete in every aspect, making every part container of the whole. Its oneness is forever guaranteed inviolate; forever held within His holy Will, beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection and of any spot upon its sinlessness.
The original perfection of 'God' and His creation remain forever one. The Father and Son are one in the context of holy creation. We who share this 'sonship' forever inhere in 'God' whose perfect will is our own, because this love is indivisible.
We are creation; we the Sons of God. We seem to be discrete, and unaware of our eternal unity with Him. Yet back of all our doubts, past all our fears, there still is certainty. For love remains with all its Thoughts, its sureness being theirs. God's memory is in our holy minds, which know their oneness and their unity with their Creator. Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God's Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but as God created us.
Our Father calls to us. We hear His Voice, and we forgive creation in the Name of its Creator, Holiness Itself, Whose Holiness His Own creation shares; Whose Holiness is still a part of us.
Here we see 'holiness' as that divine nature of inherent 'wholeness' and 'beauty', our true nature from 'God', whose nature is One. The pure creation of holy spirit, is like unto itself, and could not be different, since 'God' can only create according to his will and nature. Therefore His eternal Son is eternally begotten out of the divine nature, expressing the will innate in 'God'. As we recognize our oneness with God as His Son...we embrace the beauty of holiness. We are that creation.
