1. Citation from Unified Thought.
* God's creative ability is the formative ability of
the internal developmental four-position foundation and
the external developmental four-position foundation in
Original Image Theory, that is,
the ability to form a two-tier structure of creation (refer to the divinity of Original Image Theory).

2. Understanding the Quoted Text from the Principle of Creation.
God's Original Image is divided into
the Spirit of God (神性) and the Truth of God (神相).
The Truth of God (神相) is further divided into
the Internal Original Nature (本性相) and the External Original Form (本形相: Pre-Energy).
The Internal Original Nature (本性相) is divided into
Internal Nature (내적 성상) and External Form (내적 형상).
Within this Internal Original Nature,
the two Internal Natures and External Forms interact through give-and-take action centered on a purpose,
forming a new, independently existent entity called Logos (構想)
< concept : internal developmental four-position foundation >.
This constitutes the first stage of creation.
When the Logos (concept) within the Internal Original Nature (本性相)
interacts with the Acting Prime Force (原力) within God’s Internal Original Form (本形狀: Pre-Energy)
through give-and-take action centered on a purpose <external developmental four-position foundation>,
the created world, including the angelic world, all things in the universe, and the human world,
comes into existence.
This constitutes the second stage of creation.
This explains the two-tier structure of creation
according to the Principle of Creation.
However,
the textbooks of Unified Thought conclude that
the creation act of the created world, namely, the angelic world, the universe, and the human world,
is completed solely through the give-and-take action of four position foundation centered on the purpose
between the Internal Original Nature (Logos) and
the Pre-Energy (Acting Prime Force) within the Truth of God (神相),
within the explanation of Logos and God's creation process.
Then,
the explanation of the question:
" < At which stage and in which process
does the four-position foundation's give-and-take action,
centered on the purpose of forming a relative standard
between the Spirit of God (神性: the Subject) and the Truth of God (神相: the Object)
separated from God's Original Image (原相) occur? > "
is omitted in the Unified Thought textbooks.
The secret is that it occurs at the following stage.
That is,
as explained above,
when the two Internal Natures and External Forms within this Internal Original Nature
interact through the four-position foundation's give-and-take action centered on a purpose,
they form a new, independently existent entity called Logos (concept) <internal developmental four-position foundation>.
This constitutes the first stage of creation.
The creation of Logos involves two stages:
The initial stage (operation of ideas, static print of ideas, design blueprint, static image, )
The later stage (dynamic image where the life of the concept operates)
In the initial stage of Logos
(Pre-Logos: operation of ideas, static print of ideas, design blueprint, static image, blueprint),
the Spirit of God (神性) is infused into this stage,
leading to the completion of the later stage of Logos
(Perfect-Live-Logos: dynamic image where the life of the concept operates).
This occurs when
the Spirit of God (神性: the Subject) and
the Truth of God (神相: the Object)
separated from God's Original Image (原相)
form a four-position foundation centered on the purpose of forming Logos.
Through the give-and-take action,
the Spirit of God (神性: the Subject) is infused into the static Pre-Logos,
imparting life to it and thereby forming the dynamic, living, completed Logos (Perfect-Live-Logos).
Thus,
it is during this process that
the Spirit of God (神性: the Subject) acts.
(In Unified Thought,
while explaining the above process,
the concept of spiritual intuition (지, 정, 의 靈的 統覺) as the central concept of subjective grasp
is elaborated repetitively.
However,
this has already been involved in the first stage of the Pre-Logos formation process
as the subjective cause,
participating as the subject of the purpose-centered four-position foundation's give-and-take action in forming Logos.
Therefore,
repetitive explanation is unnecessary and becomes redundant.)

3. Conclusion.
Through the four-position foundation's give-and-take action centered on the purpose of forming Logos
between the Spirit of God (神性: the Subject) and the Truth of God (神相: the Object)
separated from God's Original Image (原相),
the Spirit of God (神性: the Subject) is infused into
the purpose-centered four-position foundation's give-and-take action of forming Logos.
By infusing life into the static Pre-Logos,
a dynamic and active completed Logos (Perfect-Live-Logos) is formed.
It is during this process
that the Spirit of God (神性: the Subject) acts.
