If we consider God as an entity dependent on humans, the concept of Divinity ceases to be seen as an exclusive, absolute power independent of human experience and participation. In this case, the emphasis shifts to the idea that divine manifestation occurs through the process of human understanding and involvement, and that the Divine finds its reflection in the human spirit and history. In other words, the personality of Divinity becomes not a static substance but rather a dynamic process in which the active role of humans—in their capacity to perceive, assimilate, and ultimately reflect divine content—is central.
According to the discussed views, it is God who is considered the creator of all that exists. In one of the sources, it is stated that God addresses Simeon with the words: “… to know for sure that I am God, the Creator of all…” – emphasizing His role as the sole creator (source: 1298_6488.txt). Another source underscores that “only the God of the Bible, who revealed His name to Moses… only He — the Creator”, thereby highlighting that all of existence was created out of nothing by Him (source: 190_947.txt). Furthermore, a separate text asserts that “the Father, the Almighty, the Creator — this is your God, one, living, and true. The Creator, who created the heavens and the earth, all that is visible and invisible”, which firmly confirms the unity and absolute power of God as the creator of everything (source: 419_2094.txt).
Ethical concepts that address the ontological basis of moral values consider the distinction between good and evil not as a result of empirical observation, but as something rooted in the very nature of existence and the fundamental principles of reason. Thus, the criteria for distinguishing between good and evil arise from the idea that good represents the unconditional norm of life and activity—that is, it is already embedded at the very beginning of differentiation as an ideal toward which moral consciousness aspires. For example, as noted in one of the sources, "the very first distinction between good and evil already contains the idea of good or benefit, without any limitations, embodying the unconditional norm of life and activity" (source: 1259_6294.txt). This means that moral differentiation is not merely a conditional assessment of empirical facts, but a reflection of a profound, ontologically substantiated value.
The presence of higher spiritual goals has a decisive impact on forming the true essence of personality, as such a vector directs a person's life energy toward eternal, universal values that contribute to creating a stable and integral structure of their inner world. When a person channels their aspirations toward higher spiritual ideals, their personality is not confined to superficial interests or temporary passions, but is formed through profound inner development.
