Grace via Thomas Aquinas

[Thomas Eckhardt]

I don't think Aquinas had much time for either pantheism or panentheism 
(Pynchon however may well use all of these frames of reference). If I am 
not mistaken, to be able to understand things exactly as they are, in 
their quiddity, means to be able to perceive them like angels or God 
perceive them (in their essence or substance, perhaps). Which is not 
possible for humans unless they experience a revelation of the divine 
(like Saul on the road to Damascus).
