To Be God Is to Be
To be me is to be a human being, right? So I'll use Aquinas' language. It's the act of being poured into the receptacle of some essential principle. As God comes close to a creature, he doesn't destroy it or consume it. But the creature becomes more beautiful and more radiant. The basic idea of God is non-competitively transcendent to the world. That's another way to get at it.
