Of course you should read the whole thing but here is one of
Gagdad's pearls: One Cosmos - : "God, the Absolute, speaks only one word, except that he does so perpetually, or eternally: 'God never spake a word but one and that he holds so dear that he will never say another. If God stopped saying his Word, but for an instant even, heaven and earth would disappear' (Meister Eckhart).

Thus, to turn it around, 'All creatures that have flowed out from God must become united into one Man.' Who is this Man? You could say he is Christ, or the nonlocal Body of Christ, so long as you recognize, along with Augustine, that the Christian religion has always existed -- that before Abraham was, I AM -- except that it only came to be called Christianity after the appearance of Jesus. Knowing this, you can immediately prevent a lot of inter- and intra-denominational mischief, for all truth, to the extent that it is true, ultimately comes from the One (otherwise truth could not be, for it would be purely relative, which is no truth at all)."
