M.C. Here's an attempt, just off the top of my head=A0: just as in our=20=

everyday experience opposites seem to imply and even attract one=20
another, so in the divine or intelligible world things *we* consider to=20=

be contradictory in fact complement one another. So just as, say, good=20=

and evil, day and night imply one another's existence in this world, in=20=

divine reality apparent opposites *coincide*. This seems to be a=20
re-woking of the ideas of Nicolas of Cusa.

        Best, Mike.
