Second argument:Divine Power operates in the inner, spiritual dimension of things (the metaphysical kingdom). Like a mirror, the universe has two sides: corporeal (resembling a mirror's colored face) and metaphysical (resembling the mirror's shining face and looking to the Creator). Opposites exist in the corporeal side, which manifests beauty and ugliness, good and bad, big and small, difficulty and ease. The Majestic Creator of the universe veils His Power's acts behind the veil of observed causes so that those who lack understanding do not regard His Power's relation to simple things as unbecoming to Him. His Honor and Majesty require this. Causes have no real effect upon creation, for that would violate His Oneness and Unity. The metaphysical world, absolutely clear and transparent, contains none of the physical world's grossness. As Divine Power operates directly there, cause and effect have no effect, obstacles cannot interfere, and creating a particle is as easy as forming a sun. To conclude, Divine Power is simple, infinite, and an indispensable Attribute of Divine "Essence." This Power operates directly in a realm that is clear, refined, and transparent, one in which there is nothing to oppose or intervene in it. Thus there is no difference between a community and an individual, particular and universal or big and small. |
