Attributes are like points of view on substance; but in the absolute limit these points of view are no longer external, and substance contains within itself the infinity of its points of view upon itself.

--- Gilles Deleuze, Expressionism in Philosophy: Spinoza. p 22.

Now, we know what it's like to be God in pantheism.

Attributes are projections from substance to various dimensions, not in the opposite way.

Who projects from substance?

[juan_gandhi]

Wow, never thought about an entity that projects. Like in Plato's cave, who sheds the light? Have to think about it.

When I write "projection", I mean a mathematical interpretation.

Pretty amazing, huh?

When we do math we assume a god-like posture: define things in existence, project attributes, etc.

[juan_gandhi]

Good point. Have to think about it. There must be something inside.
