Description:

In the beginning was the Word,a and the Word was with God, and the Word was {what} God {was}. This one was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him, nothing came into being that has come into being. In him was life, life that was the light of mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. John came as a witness, to bear witness to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but [he was sent] to bear witness to the light. The true light who enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
- St. John the Evangelist, The Holy Gospel According to St. John

Description:

In the midst of being as a whole an open place occurs. There is a clearing, a lighting. Thought of in reference to what is, to beings, this clearing is in a greater degree than are beings. This open center is therefore not surrounded by what is; rather, the lighting center itself encircles all that is, like the Nothing which we scarcely know. That which is can only be, as a being, if it stands within and stands out within what is lighted in this clearing. Only this clearing grants and guarantees to us humans a passage to those beings that we ourselves are not, and access to the being that we ourselves are.
- Martin Heidegger, On the Origin of the Work of Art

Description:

And when we have the whole, a form of such a kind in this flesh and in these bones, this is Callias or Socrates; and they are different in virtue of their matter (for that is different), but the same in form, for their form is indivisible.

Description:

Thus, once again asking ourselves what the Pillar and Ground of the Truth is, we mentally run through the series of answers given here. The Pillar of the Truth is the Church; it is certitude; it is the spiritual law of identity; it is ascesis; it is the Trihypostatic Unity; it is the Light of Tabor; it is the Holy Spirit; it is chastity or spiritual integrity; it is Sophia; it is the Most Pure Virgin; it is friendship; it is, once more, the Church.
-Pavel Florensky, The Pillar and Ground of the Truth

Description:

Beneath the surface of things, beyond all diversity and multiplicity, is a deeper order out of which the phenomenal world unfolds. Created beings, in terms of their underlying nature, are not stationary but are in motion toward their natural goal, which is also a return to their origin and cause, namely God the Logos, who from eternity contains within Himself the “principles” (logoi) of beings, the metaphysical foundations of the universe.

On the basis of these principles, the Logos brings beings into actual existence by creating them out of nothing and providing each with a fixed nature and purpose. Through this creative act of self-giving and self-distribution, the one Logos—who is beyond all being and thought—is multiplied and made known in all beings, which are like a field of manifestations emerging from and returning to the continuous background of God.
-St. Maximus the Confessor, The Ambigua Vol 1

Description:

The general thesis, by the virtue of which the real surrounding world is not just given in consciousness continuously by general apprehension, but is given and familiar as factually existing “actuality” , naturally does not consist of a particular act, of an articulated judgment about existence. It is, after all, something during the whole length of the attitude, i.e. [something] continuously permanent during the natural waking life [directed at the world]. That which at any time is perceived, clearly or obscurely made present—in short, everything from the natural world which is experientially familiar and familiar before any thinking— bears … the characteristic “there,” “at hand”, a characteristic which essentially can ground an expressed (predicative) judgment about existence that is in agreement with this character.

Description:

“For, ‘The heart of them that seek the Lord shall rejoice.’ ‘Seek ye the Lord,’ ye condemned, and ‘be strengthened’ with hope; ‘seek His face’ (Psalms 104:3–4) through repentance, and sanctify yourselves by the holiness of His face, and you will be thoroughly purged from your sins.

Run to the Lord, all you that are guilty of sin, to Him that has the power to pardon sins and overlook transgressions. For He has spoken to His Prophet an oath, saying, ‘As I live, saith the Lord, I wish not the death of a sinner, but that he return and live’ (Ezekiel 33:11). And again, ‘I have spread out My hands all the day unto a rebellious and gainsaying people’ (Isaiah 65:2). And again, ‘Wherefore do ye die the death, O house of Israel?’ (cf. Ezekiel 33:11). And again, ‘Return to Me, and I will return unto you’ (Malachi 3:7).

And again: ‘In what day soever the sinner shall return from his way and return unto the Lord, and execute judgment and righteousness, I will not remember his iniquities; but living he shall live, saith the Lord. And if the righteous shall forsake his righteousness, and if sinning he do wrong, I will not remember his righteousness, but it will lay a stumbling-block before him; and he shall die in the darkness of his works, because he abode in them’ (Ezekiel 33:14–15).

Why so? Because the sinner will not stumble over his sin when he returns to the Lord. And the righteousness of the just will not redeem him when he sins, if he persists in such sinning.

But God spoke this also to Jeremias: ‘Take thee a parchment, and write all things that I have spoken unto thee from the days of Josias the king of Judah unto this day, all the evil things that I spake unto thee, saying that I would bring them upon this people: that when he hath heard it and been afraid, a man might forsake his wicked way; and returning they may repent, and I may take away their sins’ (cf. Jeremiah 36:2–3).

And Wisdom has said: ‘He that covereth his sin shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth his sins and leaveth them shall obtain mercy from God’ (Proverbs 28:13).

And Esaias says: ‘Seek ye the Lord, and when you have found Him, call upon Him: and when He shall draw nigh, let the sinner forsake his privy way, and the man of iniquity his thoughts, and return unto Me, and I will have mercy upon you. For My thoughts are not as your thoughts, neither are My ways as your ways’ (Isaiah 55:6–9).

‘If then ye hear Me, ye shall eat the good of the land’ (Isaiah 1:19). Come unto Me and obey Me, and with your soul ye shall live. Whenever you keep the ways of the Lord and do His will, then put your hope in the Lord and call on Him; and ‘as soon as you cry out, He will say to you: “Behold, I am here!”’ (Isaiah 58:9).
