God is the 'Source' and the Cause, and the Creation reflects the attributes of God, the greater cosmos and the universes.
A perpetual emanation best describes the universes emanating from the Matrix (greater Cosmos) and the constant "All things that undergo composition, in time undergo decomposition, but the component elements remain. The creation of a world, a daisy or a human body is not “making something out of nothing”; it is rather a bringing together of elements which before were scattered, a making visible of something which before was hidden. By and by the elements will again be scattered, the form will disappear, but nothing is really lost or annihilated; ever new combinations and forms arise from the ruins of the old."
The cyclic decomposition and re-composition occurs naturally through out our universe at all levels, for example stars are the result of the re-composition of older stars. In this view new universes would be the re-combination of older universes that decomposed into the greater cosmos.
No. both are not aspects of the same entity. An analogy is God's greater cosmos is like God's shadow. As long as God exists eternally the shadow exists eternally.
