When you hear someone like Azrael or any other person with an ancient consciousness speak of such things as thought and its implicit aspect of creation, one should consider what they have to say with deeper thought.
When he speaks of thought he is not talking about it the way that most humans comprehend thought but in a much grander scale.
I won't get into the same old STS debate that the same old proponents of it would love to rehash with a lot of Ra quotes that have not been appropriately discerned. It would be futile as most of those already know the argument well and have made their choice to think the way they do.
But with regard to thought I would remind you that it is thought and the power of it that is behind the entire universe. This is the creative aspect to which Azreal is referring you.
I would say that thinking bad to transform them into good is just an excuse to think bad and experience it for your self, and than have an excuse as to why you did that.
Bad cannot be transformed into good, whether done in the mind or the real world.
Discerning whether a thing is good or bad does not always necessitate the experiencing of it. I do not think that one would benefit from thinking about raping anther human being, so that you can justify that thought by suggesting that now you know how wrong it is. Why did you have to experience such a thing in your mind to come to that understanding? Were you not naturally horrified and repulsed by the thought in the first place?
