Just blown away by this idea. Clarke affirms that "to be" fully, one must be like God, since we are a priori, His walking "images." What does that mean? Principally, Clarke argues that this means to be a lover, since God is love. So, "to be" really is "to be a lover" since God is Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—all self-possessive of their individual identities and yet still inextricably related in love.

"To be an actualized human person, then, is to be a lover, to live a life of inter-personal self-giving and receiving. Person is essentially a 'we' term. Person exists in its fullness only in the plural."

"As Augustine put it so well in his classic saying, "Our hearts are restless, O Lord, till they rest in You." This radical dynamism rooted in our spiritual nature might be called the dynamic a priori of the human spirit as such, and thus of every human person."
