The Worlds of God by -U.S.Baha'i National Ref Library Committee- 1 Para

"The first thing which emanated from God is that universal reality, which the ancient philosophers termed 'First Mind'... This emanation... is not limited by time or place; it is without beginning or end... Though the 'First Mind' is without beginning, it does not become a sharer in the pre- existence of God, for the existence of the universal reality in relation to the existence of God is nothingness, and it has not the power to become an associate of God and like unto Him in pre- existence." (Bwf 315- 6) (14:1)
