We find the supreme model for our own exercise of will and creation, and our ensuing relationship with our surroundings, in Nature's or Providence's own process of creation
1360. The supreme model for our own exercise of will and creation and the ensuing relationship with our surroundings can thus be sought exclusively in God's own exercise of will and creation, which means, in the living process around us that we call "Nature". And by concentrating our senses and powers of observation on "Nature", we see two realities, namely "perfection" and "imperfection". We thus see the most ingenious phenomena at the same time as we also see to the most imperfect, naive and primitive processes of creation. Yet everywhere we see primitivity being replaced by greater perfection, which of course in turn establishes the fact that life is a process of creation. But since primitivity is replaced by or transformed into genius, everything primitive that occurs in life and existence will thus be something unfinished, while genius will be the final or finished result. But if everything primitive in life and existence or in our surroundings is unfinished, and everything ingenious is finished, we are thus here provided with the most brilliant model for our own exercise of will and creation.
