 | "Spirit is that which transcends everything and includes everything. Or, in traditional terms, spirit is both completely transcendent to the world and completely immanent in the world--and there is the most notorious (and unavoidable) pardox of spirit. On the one hand, then spirit is the highest of all possible domains; it is the Summit of all realms, the Being beyond all beings. It is the domain that is a subset of no other domain, and thus preserves its radically transcendatal nature. On the other hand, since spirit is all-pervading and all-inclusive, since it is the set of all possible sets, the Condition of all conditions and the Nature of all natures, it is not properly thought of as a realm set apart from other realms, but as the Ground or Being of all realms, the pure THAT of which all manifestations is but a play or modification. And thus spirit preserves (paradoxically) its radically immanent nature." ~ Ken Wilber |
