Synopsis xxvii

Growing control over circumstances, growing freedom, 

 characterises the process, and the end is self-limitation with 

 love as its motive ........ 226 



The problem of degrees of reality and of double conscious- 

 ness for man and for God 227 



God is Immanent; and experiences the temporal series . 229 

 Absolute freedom may express itself in self-limitation . 230 



God is Transcendent; and experiences simultaneity. How 

 can these two experiences co-exist? . . . . .231 



Man's own experience furnishes the material for a solution 232 



Transcendence and Immanence are necessary correlatives of 

 each other. As God is Love, He is eternally creative and 

 therefore eternally Immanent. Nevertheless, Immanence 

 is derivative, and owes its existence to the nature of Tran- 

 scendence . 233 



The question of the Transcendence of Christ during His 

 Incarnation . . . 234 



God experienced the full consciousness of Christhood; 

 though Christ was not fully conscious of the Eternal series. 

 The greater included the less, not the less the greater. 

 Christ experienced real self -limitation . . . .235 



In man the double consciousness exists, and we are some- 

 times aware of ourselves as transcendent beings, at other 

 times as immanent. It is a question of attention. Why 

 should this not be true of God? 238 



Creativeness therefore Tri-unity is the very essence of 

 God's Being, and hence the idea of a " God before Creation " 

 is meaningless 239 



Being implies process. The wholeness of the Whole realising 

 Itself as Love is perpetually re-affirmed by process. This is 

 the meaning of the statement that God is Personal, and the 

 Doctrine of the Holy Trinity is the affirmation of that basal 

 truth. Perfect freedom issuing in complete self-limitation is 

 the end of the process for man, ...... 240 



the guarantee of whose immortality rests upon the nature 

 of personality, and upon the identical character of person- 

 ality in man and God 241
