"The Creator of all is One God. From this same God all creation sprang into existence." (Pt 51) (42:1) "Interaction, cooperation and interrelation amongst beings are under the direction and will of a motive Power which is the origin, the motive force and pivot of all interactions in the universe." (Bwf 346) (42:2) "Such forces as have their origin in this world of dust are, by their very nature, unworthy of consideration." (Gl 341) (42:3) "Out of the essence of knowledge I gave thee being... Out of the clay of love I molded thee." (Hwa 7) (42:4) "The incomparable Creator hath created all men from one substance, and hath exalted their reality above the rest of His creatures." (Gl 81) (42:5) "Unto each one hath been prescribed a pre- ordained measure, as decreed in God's... Tablets." (Bwf 119) (42:6) "Difference in capacity in human individuals is fundamental." (Pup 212) (42:7) "Some think that the body is the substance and exists by itself, and that the spirit is accidental and depends upon the substance of the body... On the contrary, the rational soul is the substance, and the body depends upon it. If... the body be destroyed, the substance, the spirit remains." (Saq 277) (42:8) "Spirit (defined as) Intelligent or immaterial part of man, soul" (Oxford Dict.) (42:9) "These two names-- the human spirit and the rational soul-- designate one thing." (Bwf 317) (42:10) Special Note: But in the foregoing, the soul is the entity God creates, the human reality; whereas 'spirit' is the 'power' that activates a being or entity.. (42:11) "Man-- the true man-- is soul, not body; though physically man belongs to the animal kingdom, yet his soul lifts him above the rest of creation... The soul... makes the human creature a celestial entity." "The soul can live without a body, but the body without a soul dies." (Pt 85; Pt 87)
