How we agree and disagree with St. Augustine and St. Thomas regarding Being

How does the relationship with the Intellect relate to Being or Godhood? The Intellect is in Godhood's Mind, as it is in our mind, only the Intellect is evolved to its Zenith in Godhood's Mind, they are never separate. Also, as in humans, there is knowledge coming from the Spirit-Will and from the experience of Soul, which exists in the Mind and Body of Godhood as they do in us. The intellect never stands outside the Body of Godhood, just as Truth never stands outside the Body and Mind Of Godhood.

This would seem to affirm both St. Augustine and St. Thomas in the sense that they thought of truth as “that which is” (St. Augustine) and of Being as the foundation of truth, or Being as prior to truth. (see “Heidegger and Aquinas” by Caputo) Only substances “truly are” to St. Thomas, and this too we affirm, in the sense that substances are eternal as the stuff from which material and supermaterial beings are made.

We seem to depart from St. Augustine and St. Thomas in the way they define Being as “permanent presence.” Godhood is the consequence and reward for attaining the Zenith of Evolution. Permanence such as there is in this sense is within the evolving life of the cosmos, or within the activating Spirit-Will within life as it activates Godhood Itself. Godhood is self-subsistence and eternal only in this evolutionary sense.  Both existence and essence are objects and Supreme Objects, material and supermaterial, which are ever evolving.
