Is it possible Jeremiah IS the Creator, and doesn't know it? Is it possible the Creator found a way around the Law forbidding him access to his creation by reincarnating himself in Jeremiah's form? As Jeremiah existed independently beforehand, this would be a form of possession, Linden's most abhorred evil, but the Last Chronicles have been subverting all along the maxim that "good cannot be accomplished by evil means."

We've been told that neither the Creator or Foul can use a tool to achieve their ends. But Jeremiah seems to have consciousness and volition after he is freed from the croyel, and to some extent beforehand. Would the necessity of freedom apply in this case?

Imagine what this eventuality would do to Linden....

"Release" is definitely a better translation of Moksha than "enlightenment." It comes from a verb, Moks, which is used in the Puranas very literally when someone is, say, untied and let out of jail.

Mokshah is also used in sanskrit philosophy for "enlightenment," of course, but only because they think of enlightenment as a release from certain strictures.

Seems to me Jerry has all the attributes to be A Creator. I'm not willing to go so far as The Creator tho. When I say " attributes" yea, there is that freedom from encumbrances, his " innocence" that can allow for fresh , new perspectives on things which seems to me a necessity to " create". Also, his " talent" for magical transportive constructs suggests an ability to build anew. So, I await a fine display of his potential.
