Differentiation (n.) is lacking in a function in which every position entails its own negation — undifferentiated feeling confounds hate with love.

Differentiation (n.) is creation, and man's very essence: so he must even differentiate the qualities of the Pleroma that do not exist — speaking of them says nothing about the Pleroma, only about our own differentiation.
Differentiation (n.) is what consciousness lives on: just as there is no energy without a tension of opposites, there is no consciousness without perceiving differences, though sharpened differences lead to polarity and conflict.
