Immanation
The term immanation denotes an inflow as opposed to an outflow, emanation . In Neoplatonism and its Christian adaptations, an outflow of the many from and backflow to an original One was fundamental, both for cosmological explanations and the dynamics of human existence. The term immanation is probably a new formation from the 19th century. The Latin literature, on the other hand, speaks of egressus-regressus, effluxus-refluxus, for example.
