God and the suffocating constraints of Eternity

 

What if,as Schelling implied,eternity is less than temporality? What if eternity is a sterile,impotent,lifeless domain of pure potentialities,which,in order fully to actualize itself,has topass through temporal existence?

 What if God’s descent to man,far from being an act of grace toward humanity,is the only way for God to gain full actuality,and to liberate Himself from the suffocating constraints of Eternity

We usually claim that time is the ultimate prison (“no one can jump outside of his/her time”),and that the whole of philosophy and religion circulates around one aim:to break out of this prison-house of time into eternity.What,however,if,as Schelling implies,that Eternity is a prison of closure.
