The All in all things…

Busy tilting at the windmills which I take to be the hulking giants of philosophical acumen, I devised a little argument-form, and tried it out on free will and God. Recently at Processions, I was fortunate enough to ponder a quote from Gregory Palamas (pardon the missing "St."––but I'm a Roman Catholic, for Peter's sake!) which tied in well with what I was tryin to say about God in that runty argument-from. To wit:

God both is and is said to be the nature of all beings, in so far as all partake of Him and subsist by means of this participation: not however by participation in His nature - far from it - but by participation in His energy. In this sense He is Being of all beings, the Form that is in all forms as the Author of form, the Wisdom of the wise and, simply, the All in all things. Moreover, He is not nature, because He transcends nature; He is not a being, because He transcends every being; and He is not nor does He possess a form because He transcends form.

This is something of what I was getting at when I called God "that which exists as the ground of conceptual and ontological relationality (i.e., as the transcendent conceptual and ontological 'limit value') for all things".
