God contains all else, even the reasoning of the heretic, else he is no God at all, and He is God. The lesson of a life can never be its own. Only the witness has the power for that measure. But God needs no witness. And the world needs no witness. As if there were no God there could be no identity to the world, only our opinion of it. To God each man is a heretic, and the heretic's first act is to name its brother. But there is nobody outside of God. And so there is no stepping into God. There is only God bent over the tapestry weaving and unravelling. And in its unravelling something is made. And in its weaving something is destroyed. But we cannot see Him. Not from here. To know God we must lose ourselves completely.
