Fine with me, CeCe, but this still doesn't address the issue of the nature of these "various states" and their levels of freedom and intelligence. Just because they are "of-God" even in the sense which you write--which I agree with, by the way--it doesn't mean that these states ARE God.
E.g., I have cells in my body, and in one sense, that cell IS Phil, but in another, it is a cell with its own level/order of existence, freedom, intelligence. It can "choose" to act independently of the intention I have for my body and life--especially if it has become chemically corrupted.
Anyway, I've suggested to Diana that, perhaps, a new thread could be started, perhaps several could be.
Peace,
