Re: Unconditional freedom

Only omnipotence is able to withdraw (take itself back) in giving out, and 
it is this relation****p precisely which constitutes the independence of
the 
recipient. Hence God’s omnipotence is his goodness. For goodness means to 
give out completely, but in such a way that withdrawing it makes the 
recipient free. Omnipotence is not merely able to produce the most
imposing 
phenomenon, the totality of the visible universe, but also the most
fragile 
thing of all: a being that in the very face of omnipotence is independent.

It is but a worthless and worldly conception of the dynamic of power that 
it is greater and greater in pro****tion as it can compel and make 
dependent. No, the art of true power is precisely to make free.
