The art of transposing truths is one of the most essential and the least known. What makes it most difficult is that, in order to practice it, one has to have placed oneself at the center of a truth and possessed it in all its nakedness, behind the particular form in which it happens to have found expression. Furthermore, transposition is a criterion of truth. A truth which cannot be transposed isn't a truth; in the same way that what doesn't change in appearance according to the point of view isn't a real object, but a deceptive representation of such.

Divine simplicity is a difficult doctrine, to be sure. But then would we not expect at the outset difficulties of its kind? Why should God not be different than we expect and other than we can fathom? It would strange indeed if God were not strange.
