When it comes to spirit, everything is personal. On a technical level this means turning from the root rather than the waist – twisting, twining – working, working. On a philosophical level it means that immanence, far from giving rise to a flat ontology, generates a thoroughly lumpy gravy, a space-time defined not by external coordinates but by the individual intensities of the creatures that inhabit it. On a religious level it means God loves each personally, for what they are rather than for what he wants them to be, with absolute unconditionality. It also means that we find God as much in latibule as in the temple – he is the absolute interior (the internal of the internal) as well as the great beyond (the external of the external).
