The "and" and the "or" are deities. If they're separate, I'm a polytheist. Opposites in an extremely complicated relationship, sometimes friends, sometimes partners, sometimes at odds.
If they are one, God is a divided self. (But aren't we all?) The "and" wants the self to be one. But the "or" won't allow it. The "or" wants to be free. But the "and" won't allow it. The "or" breaks away, but the "and" follows it. So this divided self goes everywhere and is everywhere. It is in all things, all ideas, everywhere. So this is a God in turmoil. But a tormented genius it is, giving birth to more beauty than any artist could hope for; the universe in all its grandeur and complexity, life in all its greenness.
