So, AF, if we cut ourselves off from the source of being, what happens to our being?

We go mad. :)

Because we can't really cut ourselves off from that source. If we could, we wouldn't exist anymore.

The madness of the devils is to hate the very God that keeps them in existence.

I shouldn't have said "cut off". We can no more hide from God's grace than a lawn can from the rain. But we can refuse to cooperate with it and that is, in effect in our theosis, the same thing.
