You are now getting confused with what I am saying.
God, a sentient Being originally existed. Being eternal, that Being could not create from His own nature. So he falsely converted Himself into an entity that could generate others: because without others there could be no communications or interactions.
That makes no sense. If god cannot 'create from his own nature' he can't create a false version of himself.
If he falsely converted himself (i.e. did not convert himself, but created the illusion of a different nature) then that illusory / false version could not create anything, since it could only subsist in the true unconverted god nature.
If only god exists there can be no True Interactions between separate extant entities, but there can be any amount of interaction between generated characters (that is Jamest's version). Complex interaction between characters is routine in fiction.
If there can be no True Interactions there can be no True Interactions. 'False conversion' cant' get around that. It can only get you 'False Interaction' (interactions between false characters).
You are really confusing yourself, Graham. One who is eternal cannot create. Whatever is eternal, just happens to be so: It cannot be created or destroyed. Because God could not create others from His own nature; but is in need of others in order to be inhibited in His expressions. He falsely converted His Conscious energy into the unconsciousness that we see before us.
