Luciferael's face had lost some its brilliance, had turned dark and looked concerned. Jarahmael could hear his anxiousness when he spoke. "My Lord, do we not please You?"
"Why do you say that?" asked the Almighty.
"Why do You want to create life other than us? Are we not good enough, my Lord?" Luciferael said in a low tone.
The Almighty responded by engulfing all of the Archangels in a burst of love and used a soothing voice. "Of course you are, and you, Luciferael, are the finest of My creations. You well please Me, as do your brethren. These beings you create will be lesser forms of life, Luciferael. This is a wonderful and fulfilling opportunity. You and the other Angels can assist Me in forming these new life forms. We can watch them develop into different types. There will never be anything more beautiful or loved by Me than you and your kind. I created you first of all remember, and you have My direct essence within you. No matter what happens you will always exist as I do now, you can neither be destroyed nor harmed by any other creation. You shall be with Me forever. Now go forth and look upon what I have made. Enjoy the process and experience the Creation for yourselves."
The Archangels brightened as this additional wave of love passed through them and the Almighty continued. "The Book of Creation will guide you and assist whatever you and the others imagine. Command it to open, and the Words you must utter to create these life forms will appear. Use those Words and some of the substance I have made on the planet, be it water, clay, or air, mix those things together and with your hands, form whatever shape you choose. Archangels, make as many as you like. When you are ready to have them come to life, breathe into each one of them and command them with the Words from the Book, and you will be able to see the products of your efforts."
Jarahmael noticed that Luciferael's color brightened and he stood taller, the look of doubt receding from his face. He was once again filled with the pride, reminded that he was the First of all creations. The Archangels all knew that Luciferael was the most special to the Almighty! They arranged themselves in a triangular pattern, with Luciferael at their head as they prepared to fly off through the lesser Heavens. They then took off in flight leaving the Almighty, the Seraphim and Thrones behind in the Seventh Heaven.
The flight down was glorious. Jarahmael was excited that they had the honor of creating life itself. As they descended, they passed by each of the lower Heavens and looked at the lesser Orders of Angels who were busy filling in and continuing to build within each of their own Heavens. This was the first time they were assembled as the full Order of the Archangels with a mission from the Almighty to work in the expanding Universe.
As they passed through the lowest of the Heavens they broke through into the skies of the blue green planet below. A much different place from the Heavens, Jarahmael noted to himself. Each of the Seven Heavens was based upon unimpeded energy and waves of light, while the planet below was comprised of energy waves slowed down to form atoms and molecules that would collect into gases, liquids and solid masses.
Descending into the planet's sky, the Archangels gazed upon bodies of water, separated by what the Almighty had called clay. The group arrived at a place on the planet where the sun had not yet risen, the world was still turning, moving towards the light of the sun. In the still darkness before the sunrise, it was hard to see much of the water, however as soon as the sun rose, so too did the reflections off the water.
Jarahmael suggested that they look the planet over before they decided on what to create there, as they had all of eternity and a lot of space on Earth they could fill. Together, they took flight once again and used the morning to travel all over the Earth and explore what was there. After flying over the planet they
