AoA part thirteen: "nativeness"
"Nativeness" is the quality of the creation being "native" to the creator. Which is to sat that it is fully his own creation, under his control, and in his awareness. This, like the other parts, if of course placed on a long scale, it is not an "either or" thing.
When a spirit lives in a universe he shares with many others, all of life is influenced by cooperation and compromise. Under those conditions one may easily forget that ones own creations are exactly that, ones own. But their very power depends to a large degree on exactly that.
In a funny way, this part is one of those that can be most absolute, most free of compromise. Strangely, it is very possible to create something that has a lot of reference to a pre-existing universe, is very understandable to others, and still be 100% ones own and completely original. It is one of those mysteries which hint that perhaps universes are not the heavy, final, and absolute things they sometimes appear to be. |
