 For Stein, “God is pure spirit and the archetype of all spiritual being” (2003: 127[153]). The essence of divine being is to be “tri-personal” (1950/2006: 352). God is “Being-in-Person, indeed the Being-in-three-Persons” (1950/2006: 307[359]). Spirit in general, furthermore, is “superabundant, diffusive life” (1950/2006 351[380]). The life of spirit as such is non-spatial “movement” (1931: 117[169]). Spirit is active and dynamic and divine being is “a movement from the inside out (…) a generating being (…) eternal self-drawing and self-creating” (Sich-selbst-schöpfen; 1950/2006: 300[351]). All forms of spirit possess “innerness” (Inneres; Stein 1950/2006: 307[360]) and “goes out from itself”. Spirit as such has “self-shaping” power (Gestaltungskraft; 1931: 122[175]) and its essence is to be “self-giving”. Spirit, for Stein, then, is “being-in-itself” (Sein in sich selbst), “for itself”, and “from itself” (a se). All other beings that are spiritual are founded in this divine spirit and have their “archetypes” there (Urbilder; 1950/2006: 307[360]). Ultimately, all forms of spirit form a unity.
