So, what is evil? An incorrect Reflection?
There are no concepts of "correct Reflection" and "incorrect Reflection." These are just Reflections.
There is a concept of distance from the Source of the Reflection. If you have reflected a hundred times or a billion times, accordingly, the number of distortions is a hundred times more or a billion times more.
Does this mean that the more reflections there are, that is, the more the Soul reflects or creates, the harder it is to return to God because the distortions are great?
Yes, that's right. But since you have a Connection to the Source embedded in you, you feel this longing to return. And you constantly try to find the Way Back, but you create new Paths of Reflection.
Does this mean that returning to God is impossible?
Nothing is impossible, and you feel that. But each of your returns to God will be different.
And you have the right to choose: whether to continue moving away from the Source of Divine Light by continuing to reflect from its Reflections or to return to the Source by exploring your own and others' Reflections within your Path.
Exploring?
Yes, most of you are engaged in this—exploring your past Reflections and seeking the essence of God's Light in those past Reflections.
And those who do the opposite, that is, continue their reflections further, moving farther away from God by distorting the Reflections of His Light—are they the Dark Ones?
Yes, something like that. But all of this, all of you who choose this Path or another Path, are, in essence, Reflections of God's Light that have begun their journey. And you are all God.
Then what does it mean in this system of explanations of the Divine essence to say that "we are all co-creators and can create our own Universes and rise to the level of the Creator"?
I cannot explain to you the essence of God. It is inexplicable and unknowable. We can only speak of the qualities of God that we perceive, that we can perceive. And we understand that the essence of God is multifaceted and therefore inexplicable. For to know the essence, you must encompass it with your perception, but this is impossible because a part cannot comprehend the whole, but only touch those parts of it that are nearby.
And so we say that the essence of God is Love, and the essence of God is Light, and we try to relate this to our concepts of Light or Love, but they are far from the Truth because we cannot grasp its multifaceted nature.
