in my opinion, we shouldn't imagine Creator as a personified figure in this case. it is not like a man created his copy (a robot maybe) and restrain the copy to do this and that as the creator wish and the created has no control toward itself whatsoever.

we do have choices. we may chose to be good or bad, pious or be damned (moral cocept will judge....), and has no direct relationship to the Creator. human does good for his/her own good, as with doing bad....

and as what i've heard,,, soul/higher self isn't created (has no beginning, thus has no end). it seems to be derived from one Source

apologize me as i'm only a learner
best regards,,,
