Default The eternal necessary possibility

The eternal necessary possibility


The thought does not exist: the things we thought exist. We call "thought" to the set of the thought things.

In the same way that the water cannot get wet, the thought cannot be thought. And what cannot be thought is not a being.

A being, then, is all that; that can be thought. Now then, God does not give himself the being, since it would be an absurdity; then cannot be thought. But, since he is an infinite being, it cannot be thought outside him.

Hence there fallows that:

1) God is not a mere thought, nor thought of the thought, but intuition of all the ideas and pure substance on all the things.

2) God is not a being, nor the being of beings, but the being with the eternally open possibility of the existence of which it is.

Why have you posted this same post in three different threads?
