IMAGINATION
AND
WILL-POWER
Will and Thought-was more Divine than Angels; for he can create-they cannot. He is a step nearer the Demiurgos, the Creative Deity-even now that he is encased in matter-nearer than the Angelic Hosts although each Angel is a Spirit only and not tainted with matter. Even the orthodox conception of an Angel is that of a being who executes commands and not of one who originates, creates, and acts 'de novo'.
