First, there is the EXITUS, or journey outward of all created being from The Source (GOD), the movement of the Many created beings from the One (GOD) . . . This outward movement is God’s making, with God as Maker, Creator, Giver, Provider . . . actively producing out of His own goodness and love the whole ordered system of our world and every being that fills it, the procession of the Many from the One.Slide13: The Great Circle of Being: The Universe as Journey. But no sooner has the outgoing journey begun than it pivots and starts back on a journey home again to THE SOURCE in GOD (REDITUS), drawn by the pull of the Good in each created being. This pull arises as the NSC of being pours over into its characteristic purpose-driven action, seeking the fullness of one’s truest self, and drawn to this goal, through constant guidance and striving, by the same SOURCE of Goodness from which it came.Slide14: The Great Circle of Being: The Universe as Journey.
