 Aside from the general return of all things to God, Eriugena claims there is a special return whereby the elect achieve “deification” (deificatio, theosis, θέωσις) whereby they will merge with God completely, as lights blend into the one light, as voices blend in the choir, as a droplet of water merges with the stream. God shall be all in all (omnia in omnibus, Periphyseon, V 935c).
