" In reality there is no existing entity that
possesses freedom, since the correlations
prevent that. The reality of freedom is
found only in the fact that the Essence
is "Independent of the worlds" (Ko-
ran 3:97), even though the cosmos be-
comes manifest from It and through It,
not through anything else. Since the Es-
sence is "Independent of the worlds," It is
free, while the cosmos is poor and needy
toward It. The creatures of the cosmos
have no freedom whatsoever. "
