Freedom and creativity require a settled past and an open future. If process is basic to any part of reality, it must be basic to all of actuality. Retrocognition is sharpened awareness of part of what is within an occasion. This minimizes contrast with the perfect possibility for new creation as offered by God in initial aim. There is no unilateral creation, by God or by any other experience.
All creation is co-creation.
The pattern of creation by means of blending the contrasting influences of the God-given initial aim and the past is the most basic reality, that which always has been and always will be. Our task and privilege is to learn to co-create with God in the most conscious and effective ways, which New Thought has pioneered in providing. In short, Process New Thought is a practical, applied, clarified, pluralistic , realistic idealism, in which God is recognized as utterly personal, completely impartial, totally reliable, all-inclusive, unimaginably intelligent, and completely loving. As loving, God shares perfect possibilities for realization with all occasions of experience and thereafter completely accepts and permanently preserves whatever anyone or anything makes of the divinely-provided potentialities. God is fully available and all-availing.
