"In the beginning was the Word
and the Word was with God
and the Word was God." - John 1.1 (CEB)
God is original recognition.
The no-thing becomes by being-with: {0,{2,1}}.
Absence was infinitely and never was; a full emptiness.
Being begins with time.
Time is difference. Difference originates sameness.
Dwelling is being-in-time in both sameness and difference,
one and many.
The spark of time is the being-with that we name God: the world-soul.
The world-soul is Trinity in reconciling difference and sameness,
one and many.
She dwells perichoretically in being-itself, intertwining,
interpenetrating, interweaving personality,
the soul of the world-soul: originating-begetting-proceeding.
The origin of time is also the origin of place;
placetime is received by the self-emptying gift
of the original being-with.
Kenosis: to give oneself. Creation is the gift of being-with,
the recognition that things the no-thing: perichoretic kenosis.
Dawn treads o' happysaunter, songs sing serene as being is partnered.
In the beginning was love, attending to the unfolding of another:
the original recognition of being-with becoming
the creative attending of unfolding creation.
Originating-begetting-proceeding.
“Thus it may be said that not only the soul, the mirror of an indestructible universe, is indestructible, but also the animal itself…” – Gottfried Leibniz, Monadology sec. 77
