While it is not heretical (because in the Divine Economy of our salvation the Spirit is sent from the Father to the Son and vice versa, and through the Son onto us), but it does not ontologically express the ultimate source of the Holy Ghost's divinity; in other words, the Holy Spirit, as regards His existence, eternally proceeds only from the Father. The Father is the source of His Spirit and His Son
