St. John Cassian Cassian, when we quote his comments on diakrisis a few pages further on, refers to this form of discrimination as a means of preventing illusion, and elsewhere it is said that without this the student falls from grace. But separate from this, in the last quotation from Clement, we can find certain statements about Love (as charity).
This supports the observation that
the higher planes of Love possess a cognitive capacity which relates
directly to the higher planes of memory, and in this we may find a clue to
the nature of that seed that I was earlier unable to define. Notes to Reading 2 [i] This term we have introduced to define the point at which the doctrine becomes effective: when sufficient of it is known and applied. Some elements are more important to the completeness of a teaching than others. For some, alternatives exist. The same 'effective completeness' has now been lost to Christianity, and it is one of the purposes of this book to attempt to restore it.
