            being is free from physicality.           Proximity of Value

            turn,  is  divided  into  valuable        and that is proximity of value
            and  philosophical  proximity.            which  is  discussed  in  value
            That  is,  this  meaning  of              and  moral  discussions.  This

            proximity  is  related  to  the           meaning of proximity is:
            way creatures are created, and               To  reach  a  position  and
            has  nothing  to  do  with                   level  of  which  one  of  the

               The     existence      of    all          it is a deep and immediate
            contingent  beings,  whether                 understanding       of    one's

            they  want  it  or  not,  whether            existential relationship with
            they  know  it  or  not,  depend             God;  A  position  that  is
            on  Almighty's  will.  For  this             achieved by the will of man

            reason,  all  contingent  beings             and  as  a  result  of  the  true
            do  not  differ  in  this  sense  of         evolution of the soul which
            nearness (illuminative relation);            is  the  final  and  main
            All  are  needy,  all  are                   desirable goal of man, and
