Of God and His Creatures
That they who see God see all things in Him at once
SINCE it has been shown that a created intelligence in seeing the
divine substance understands therein all the species of things; since
moreover all things that are seen by one presentation must be seen
together by one vision; it necessarily follows that the intelligence
which sees the divine substance views all things, not successively, but
simultaneously. Hence Augustine says (De Trinitate XV, xvi):
"Our thoughts will not then be unstable, coming and going from one
thing to another, but we shall see all our knowledge together at one
glance."*
