essential finific in the form of the infinite; 'dat sibi fines'.
But the absolute will, the absolute good, in the eternal act of self-affirmation, the Good as the Holy One, co-eternally begets THE ALTERITY. The supreme being; [Greek: ho ont'os 'on]; the supreme reason; the Jehovah; the Son; the Word; whose attribute is the True (the truth, the light, the 'fiat'); and whose definition is, the 'pleroma' of being, whose essential poles are unity and distinctity; or the essential infinite in the form of the finite;--lastly, the relatively objective, 'deitas objectiva' in relation to the I Am as the 'deitas subjectiva'; the divine objectivity. N.B. The distinctities in the 'pleroma' are the eternal ideas, the subsistential truths; each considered in itself, an infinite in the form of the finite; but all considered as one with the unity, the eternal Son, they are the energies of the finific; [Greek: panta di' autou egeneto--kai ek tou plaer'omatos autou haemeis pantes elabomen.] John i. 3 and 16. But with the relatively subjective and the relatively objective, the great idea needs only for its completion a co-eternal which is both, that is, relatively objective to the subjective, relatively subjective to the objective. Hence THE COMMUNITY. |
