Metaphysics
Being and Knowledge are the same. God is beyond being and knowledge. God has three parts: generating essence, creation itself, and part beyond all things and creating. God creates by expressing Ideas in itself, out of nothing. God does not create by will, because will is in time.
Mind
Soul is like the part of God beyond creating and essence and is timeless. Body is in time. Human mind approaches God by reducing plurality to unity. Soul then reaches purity, withdraws from world, and ceases to be self.
