Episode notes
God's Ground
- God's ground is like a silent desert, an infinity beyond distinctions.
- It exists prior to and beyond the Trinity, a hidden abyss.
The Trinity
- The Trinity is the eternal stillness of God, eternally in motion like a "boiling."
- It represents divine relations of knowledge and love, intimacy manifested.
God's Contemplation
- God contemplates the eternal possibility of all things in the Word.
- This includes the divinity of everything, not just their existence.
