Hi Stephen P. King Yes, we are products of God's will, although not all of those activities (such as sin) are his preferred will.

Dear Roger, THus we can truthfully say that "we are expressions of God's Will". This is another way of saying that effectively (not actually) each man-monad is a self who (but through God) sees "all" in the phenomenal world from his own point of view. Here "all" is limited or filtered by the capabilities and biases of the man. We are also muddy and corrupt mirrors of Its perfection. "All we have sinned and come short of the Glory of God." The Fall - the original sin - was the separation from God, and thus we acquired the ability to "know" Right from Wrong, or, in reality, fool ourselves into believing that we can. To perceive Valuation (such as numbers) is one result from our fall. God does not see numbers, or any other Particular Thing. It is ALL.
