Human Creation and the Philosophy of Divine Awareness

🔍 Philosophy of Human Creation and Awareness of the Creator


❖ The Concept of Creation


Every living being manifests creative ability through the process of living. Examples include:


✿ A bird's nest
✿ A painter's artwork
✿ A writer’s composition
✿ A poet's verses
✿ An engineer's buildings or a scientist's robot


These all reflect acts of creation.
Human life is constantly intertwined with creation, whether consciously or subconsciously.


❖ The Relationship Between Creator and Creation


Every creation is associated with its creator, but this relationship is one-directional:


✔ The creator knows his creation.
✘ The creation remains unaware of its creator.


For instance:
Buildings, machines, and other man-made objects cannot comprehend their origin, as they are inanimate.


⚙ Human Inability to Transfer Consciousness into Creations


✔ Man is unable to transfer consciousness into his creations.
Consciousness is a non-material quality, and cannot be created on a material basis.


Consciousness is linked to the soul, which lies beyond the material realm.


❖ Man as a Creation


Man himself is a created being, brought into existence by an infinite and omnipotent Creator.


✔ The Creator infused the soul, a reflection of His essence, into the material body.
✔ This soul gives man the ability to recognize and contemplate his Creator.


Even in denial, man cannot remain completely indifferent to the thought of God — his consciousness compels him to engage with the idea.


🧠 The Role of Intellect in Recognizing the Creator


God granted man intellect along with consciousness, enabling him to reason and draw conclusions.


This becomes a test for man:


① Will he use his intellect to recognize the Creator?
② Or will he use logic to reject Him?


🤖 Human Creations in the Modern Era


With advancements in science, man has created robots and artificial intelligence.


✔ It is possible that one day humans may instill limited forms of consciousness into machines, enabling them to think like human minds.


However:


✘ Man can never achieve the status of the Creator, because he cannot generate the non-material soul.


✔ He can only implant limited, material-based consciousness, but not spiritual awareness.


📚 Analogy: Two Babies and the Idea of a Mother


An insightful analogy explores this philosophy:


Two babies conversing in the womb —


👶 First Baby:
Believes in life after birth and imagines things like:
• Greater light
• Walking with feet
• Eating through the mouth


👶 Second Baby:
Denies all these ideas, considering them illogical, and only believes what he can presently experience.


✔ The first baby believes in the existence of the mother, though he cannot see her.
✘ The second baby rejects her existence since he cannot see or hear her.


This analogy reflects human debates on the existence of God:


✔ Just as babies sense their mother's existence through their nature,
✔ Likewise, humans perceive their Creator through inherent consciousness, even if they cannot physically see Him.


True faith is not rooted in observation but in natural awareness and spiritual intuition.


📌 Conclusion


Behind man's creation lies the wisdom of a Great Creator.


✔ The marvels of modern science and technology offer glimpses of the Creator’s consciousness,
✘ but man can never fully emulate his Creator.


Man should use his intellect and awareness to recognize God, while acknowledging his limited status as a creation.
