By the higher consciousness that created it. IOW, by itself, us.

This is where words begin to fail, because we are describing both the relative and absolute realm. In the absolute realm, there is one consciousness that knows everything. This energy condenses into matter to create the physical universe, but also exists as pure consciousness (the spiritual realms).

We are not separate from this consciousness. We are the universe experiencing the absolute universe through the realm of the relative. You can only experience some aspect of 'the all' if the opposite aspect exists. You can only experience yourself as tall if 'short' exists.

Thus the absolute universe 'divides' into opposites, or varying degrees, in order to create the realm of relative, where we exist. Hot, cold. Tall, short. Happy, sad. Space, time. It doesn't really divide, nor do we really exist. It is an illusion, a trick of perception.

Human lives were created to experience what is true of the realm of the absolute: unity. Within this feeling of unity is what humans call joy or love.

Thus my statement that life was created for joy not terror. Joy (unity) is the truth. Terror (fear, disunity) is merely what-is-not. (The illusion of what-is-not is created in order that the reality of what-is may be experienced.)

By being mindful that the illusion is an illusion, and being mindful of its purpose, (IOW not forgetting and thinking it is real), we can enjoy the realm of the relative, human life, even when we are experiencing what-is-not (the "dark side").

That is why people enjoy horror movies and being scared. There is a genuine joy there, because on some level they are remembering that they are playing, and play is fun. When that is forgotten, it is no longer fun.

As to your question, we are creating all of this, on many levels. Most people are not conscious of most of these levels - they create subconsciously, without awareness. Yet our consciousness goes far beyond our human awareness, and we create from all of these levels. One of our creations is 'human life'.

Make sense?
