A substance, on the contrary, is self-existent; in speaking about it, we need not put of after its name. A stone is not the stone of anything; the moon is not the moon of anything, but simply the moon.
If this be so, then their invoking Amoun is the same thing as calling upon the supreme being, whom they believe to be "hidden" and "concealed" in the universal nature, to appear and manifest itself to them. So cautious and reserved was the Egyptian wisdom in those things which appertained to religion. She was self-existent, and produced her son, the Sun-god, without union with a god.
"I suppose that the immortality itself should be worth possessing." "Yes; that the life should be such that it were well it should be endless. And what then if it be not such?" "The question then would be whether it could not be made such." "You are right. And wherein consists the essential inherent worthiness of a life as life? The only perfect idea of life is a unit, self-existent, and creative.
For what are all these myths but fragments of that great metaphysic idea, which, I boldly say, I believe to be at once the justifier and the harmoniser of all philosophic truth which man has ever discovered, or will discover; which Philo saw partially, and yet clearly; which the Hebrew sages perceived far more deeply, because more humanly and practically; which Saint Paul the Platonist, and yet the Apostle, raised to its highest power, when he declared that the immutable and self-existent Being, for whom the Greek sages sought, and did not altogether seek in vain, has gathered together all things both in heaven and in earth in one inspiring and creating Logos, who is both God and Man?
Is that idea or essence, which in the dialectical process we define as essence or true existence whether essence of equality, beauty, or anything else are these essences, I say, liable at times to some degree of change? or are they each of them always what they are, having the same simple self-existent and unchanging forms, not admitting of variation at all, or in any way, or at any time?
Wherein had she failed of duty? her hands were clean: she was going to meet her just reward. It was different with Holmes, of course, with his self-existent soul. It was life he accepted to-night, he thought, a life of growth, labour, achievement, eternal. "Ohne Hast, aber ohne Rast," favourite words with him. "Ohne Hast."
Pantheism is "that speculative system which by absolutely identifying the Subject and Object of thought, reduces all existence, mental and material, to phenomenal modifications of one eternal, self-existent Substance which is called by the name of God.... All things are God."
Let us see what men have thought and said about this One it may help us to understand the nature of the problem. The materialist claims that this one is a something called Matter self-existent eternal infinite containing within itself the potentiality of Matter, Energy and Mind.
Then, when objects and events have been posited as self-existent, and when a "clock" and a system of co-ordinates have been established for measuring them, a single mathematical space and time may be deployed about them, conceived to contain all things, and to supply them with their respective places and dates. This gives us the cosmos of classical physics.
The mediating love of the minister, obliterating itself, had made him linger a step or two behind, waiting what would follow: when he saw the two folded each in the other's arms, and the fountain of love thus break forth at once from their encountering hearts, his soul leaped for joy of the new-created love new, but not the less surely eternal; for God is Love, and Love is that which is, and was, and shall be for evermore boundless, unconditioned, self-existent, creative!
