“Repetition resembles even the foundations of all reality, the productivity of the Holy Trinity, which St. John Damascene describes in the language of imaging: “The Son is the Father's image, and the Spirit the Son's, through which Christ dwelling in man makes him after his own image.” To despise this facet of reality echoes the Lacanian “solid hatred addressed to being,” and depicts even God as subject to ennui before a kenotic descent.”
