Not as an "initiation" of creation but creation as a result of its existence.

That sounds as if creation occurred passively as a result of its existence and not of its will. But since it exists eternally it would make sense the creation does also.

When I conceive in this area, things like will and want don't fit; maybe it's just me.

But since it exists eternally it would make sense the creation does also.

I can see that conclusion. I can also not see it. Conceptualizing the boundary between eternal and temporal is a pretty dicey deal IMHO.

Thanks for your post.
