And now, finally, let us look at the factors in their ensemble, and consider the respective parts they play: observing, especially, the ways in which, at successive stages, they severally give place one to another in degree of importance. Acting alone, the primordial factor must have initiated the primary differentiation in all units of protoplasm alike.
God is the unknown, and hence the nothing qua us. He is also the ensemble of all we know, and hence the everything qua us. Men think they mean by God something like what Raffaelle and Michael Angelo have painted; unless this were so Raffaelle and Michael Angelo would not have painted as they did. But to get at our truer thoughts we should look at our less conscious and deliberate utterances.
