| "It is as true to say that God is permanent and the World fluent, as
that the World is permanent and God is fluent. It is as true to say that
God is one and the World many, as that the World is one and God many. It
is as true to say that, in comparison with the World, God is actual
eminently, as that, in comparison with God, the World is actual eminently.
It is as true to say that the World is immanent in God, as that God is
immanent in the World. It is as true to say that God transcends the World,
as that the World transcends God. It is as true to say that God creates the
World, as that the World creates God." | |
