Relativity has essentially two dimensions: distance and difference. It is by virtue of the “vertical” dimension of distance that in divinis Being becomes crystallized, so to speak, on this side of Beyond-Being and that, in consequence of this hypostatic polarization, the world becomes separated from God; and it is again by virtue of this dimension that the intellective Substance engenders the animic Substance, which in turn engenders the material Substance. It is by virtue of the “horizontal” dimension of difference that the All-Powerfulness is distinguished from the All-Goodness, or that on earth a rose is distinguished from a water lily. The whole Universe is a tissue of these two dimensions: all phenomena can be explained by their infinitely varied combinations; what unites them is Existence and, in the last analysis, a Reality at once absolute and infinite, the only Reality there is.
