The following are quotations from his work De Divisione Naturae; I take them from M. de Jubainville's Irish Mythological Cycle, where they are given as summing up Erigena's philosophy, and as an indication of the vigorous Pantheism of Pre-christian Irish thought.
Erigena taught that the soul would be re-absorbed into the divine spirit, from which it had originally emanated; from God all things had come to Him would they ultimately return; God alone was eternal, and in the end nothing but God would exist. Some of Erigena's works naturally fell under the displeasure of the Church, and were duly burned: he was a philosopher, and therefore dangerous.
Erigena's philosophy rests upon the observed and admitted fact that every living thing comes from something that had previously lived. The visible world, being a world of life, has therefore emanated necessarily from some primordial existence, and that existence is God, who is thus the originator and conservator of all.
