… this universe itself is the absolute, the unchangeable, the noumenon; and the phenomenon constitutes the reading thereof.
For you will first find that all phenomena are finite.
Every phenomenon that we can see, feel, or think of, is finite, limited by our knowledge, and the Personal God as we conceive of Him is in fact a phenomenon.
The very idea of causation exists only in the phenomenal world, and God as the cause of this universe must naturally be thought of as limited, and yet He is the same Impersonal God.
