The Goddess falls in love with Herself, drawing forth her own emanation, which takes on a life of its own. Love of self for self is the creative force of the universe.

Wisdom and knowledge can best be understood together. Knowledge is learning, the power of the mind to understand and describe the universe.

Knowledge can be taught, wisdom grows from experience.
