Will-as-Life/Love-as-Food Doctrine
The doctrine that the Divine Will is Life and divine Love is its Food — the ordered pair Will=Life/Love=Food (with the parallel Will=Light/Love=Heat) disclosing the Will as the primary ontological Act from which Love proceeds as its inseparable First-Born, arising from the Will as heat from light and fruit from the vine; the doctrine’s Trinitarian ground made explicit: the Father generates the Son in love, the Son loves with the Father’s same love, and the Spirit proceeds as mutual love perfected — the three together forming the divine Food on which God himself feeds and on which the DW creature, living within the Will, shares (“We eat the same Food”); the Will/Love ordered pair distinct from all mere affect-doctrines in naming the ontological primacy of Will over Love while maintaining their inseparability.
