The Book of Genesis describes existence as an initially incoherent chaos until God approached the labor of categorical division (darkness, light water, sky). Even God cannot be properly defined without the relativist contrast with the earthly-indeed, God is viewed as the Creator, but a creator is only given credence by their creations-even the Almighty is constrained by the less-powerful. No matter the point in time and in space, it is not that God is there it is that the point itself is God, and we are, all of us, with our bodies and our belongings, as small as a pen and as large as a ziggurat, traversing God, spatializing and temporalizing God, while also, in our own provisional and ephemeral ways, being God-traversing, spatializing, and temporalizing ourselves.įrom the very beginning, we are taught to pay heed to category above all else: your proper human function is, more often than not, contingent on the limitations on your jurisdiction go too big and you will be unmoored, incoherent, so know your limits. God is not merely present God is the very concept of presence. I’ve always liked this name because of what it implies: God is not simply a keeper in the Benthamite panopticon God is the panopticon, keeping itself.
