Those who first stood against God in solidarity with humanistic liberation seemed to have been culpable in the meaning of God as His or Her own condition when unified with the structures of being people encounter in every meeting with reality. Both the self and God are eclipsed with the deconstruction of the ontotheological tradition, which Winquist explored in his study of Tillich as an analysis of those structures of being encountered in reality. But while awareness within oneself may not exist beyond a "picturing consciousness," or beyond the self, it returns to have within itself all contingencies, or moments. Thus substance becomes subject, and abstractions and lifelessness disappears. The actual, or simple and universal, manifests itself. The task for theology is to bring awareness to the "dimensions of the ultimate," which needs to be opened to every generation. The continuity between the modern situation and the initial revelatory event should be grounded in harmony with the realities of life, under a single horizon, that opens to and enhances the event — or as Winquist called it: the "becoming of the occasion."
