by appeal to the doctrine that God values all possible
worlds, this is not so much because evaluation is logically dependent upon gradations

of classification is to be challenged
by positing the primordiality
of a
world of eternal objects that knows «no exclusions, expressive in logical terms»; on the other hand, positing pure potentiality as a «boundless and unstructured infinity» (IWM 252) lacking all logical

like the pagan I worship a God who can be touched; and I do indeed touch him — this God — over the whole surface and in the depths
of that
world of matter which confines me: but to take hold
of him as I would wish (simply in
order not to stop touching him), I must go always on and on through and beyond each undertaking, unable to rest in anything, borne onwards at each moment
by creatures and at each moment going beyond them, in a continuing welcoming
of them and a continuing detachment from them; like the quietist I allow myself with delight to be cradled in the divine fantasy: but at the same time I know that the divine will, will only be revealed to me at each moment if I exert myself to the utmost: I shall only touch God in the
world of matter, when, like Jacob, I have been vanquished
by him.
