procession

In my gift-ontology, procession is the Spirit’s mode of origin, named as an eternal relation of origin rather than a temporal movement. It is personal provenance, not becoming. Procession is a way to say that the Spirit is truly a who, not an effect in time, not a bond as an impersonal category, and not a detachable “between.” The Spirit’s procession is the Spirit’s hypostatic fromness. When procession is spoken in the Latin register, it must be distinguished from the Greek technical use of ekporeusis. This is not a downgrade of truth but a clarification of terms. The dictionary should mark procession as origin-language governed by non-composition, not event-language.
