Molla-Sadra knows reality of soul as shadowy; that is, soul has the divine attributes and perfection including creativity in form of shadow. He believes that artistsinherit part of divine vicegerency. He, also, believes that human vicegerally does affairs which God independently creates. The soul of artist becomes manifestation of attributions like as creative, creator, innovator and form-giver. Because, the sign of divine vicegerency aspect and God-like in human is that human ( like as God) has power to create, not only as making and producing thing , but also as creating from nothing which is the real meaning of creation. Art creation results from change in substantial motion and intensifying motion of soul and its creativity. The soul will be able to create art work by substantial increase of intensity and reaching incorporeality of imagination. However, change in substantial motion of soul provides existential possibility of art creation and the creative faculty ( power) of human is actualized by it. The artist creates art work in accordance with cognitive and existential stage of his/her soul. The necessity of existential transcendence of soul and the creation of monotheistic art work is to use practical and speculative faculties ( power) to spiritually perfect the soul. The soul moves from plurality to unity through change in substantial motion. Whatever the artist attends to shadowy unity of his/her soul , he/she achieves more unity in artistic elements. Art creation will be continuous and immortal until the soul has change in substantial motion.
