So there was an infinity there before it was "formed", and the creator took those already existing emanations (the seven rays) and "organized" them in a certain way through an act of will. So creation is more like "organization", rather than a strictly nothing to something situation. So when Ra says that the infinity is creation, I think they mean that the creator and created are one. The substance of infinity is the substance that is molded by the creator to form what we know as the creation.
What about this section:
Quote:The intelligent infinity discerned a concept. This concept was discerned due to freedom of will of awareness. This concept was finity. This was the first and primal paradox or distortion of the Law of One. Thus the one intelligent infinity invested itself in an exploration of many-ness. Due to the infinite possibilities of intelligent infinity there is no ending to many-ness. The exploration, thus, is free to continue infinitely in an eternal present. (Ra, 13.12)
This sounds to me like proper creating. Manyness was something totally new and it was discerned and being explored (Let be) in free will. In unity there is no finity. No-thing. Thus whitout Creator's free decision there could easily be no finity explored in manyness.
Quote:That which is infinite cannot be many, for many-ness is a finite concept. To have infinity you must identify or define that infinity as unity; otherwise, the term does not have any referent or meaning. In an Infinite Creator there is only unity. (1.7)
