When you remove personality from the conception of God, as you do in removing will, you remove unity.

Now if creation be an illusion, and there be no creation, still the _appearance_ of creation is a fact.

But as there is no substance but spirit, this _appearance_ must have its cause in spirit, that is, is a _divine_ appearance, is God.

So destruction, in the same way, is an appearance of God, and reproduction is an appearance of God, and every other appearance in nature is a manifestation of God.

But the unity of will and person being taken away, we have not one God, but a multitude of gods,--or polytheism.
Having begun this career of thought, no course was possible for the human mind to pursue but this.
