God as "completely returned" to himself: The classic presentation of the argument is in Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, pars I, qu. 14, art. 2, ad primum: "Redire ad essentiam suam nihil aliud est quam rem subsistere in scipsa. . . . Inquantum vero in seipsa habet esse, in scipsam redit. . . . Per se autem subsistere maxime convenit Deo. Unde secundum hunc modum loquendi, ipse est maxime rediens ad esscntiam suam," in Biblioteca de Autores Cristianos, 3rd ed. (Madrid: La Editorial Católica, 1963), 1: 107.
