VAI E FAZE MESMA COISA (LUC 10, 37) “God in us and above us,” namely, “God in us,” is devalued. The result is a completely different concept of God: God, understood as “God above us,” becomes, as it were, the essence of the creature: the creature is reduced to an essence‐less apparition of the “God above us,” who alone is real and efficacious. Transcendence and immanence are no longer bound together in a tension of opposites, but have become identical.
