Divine alienation manifests a new ontological mode of time, not lack

Evidence

To insist on the fact that the representational process is not only a moment in individual spirit but also and in the first place a movement in God, allows us to conceive the divine alienation not as evidence of something uncompleted, but as the manifestation of a temporalization. For Hegel, the Trinity in its internal movement is not structured by a dynamic of lack – a primordial insatiability calling to be filled – but by the appearance of a new ontological guise of time. By alienating himself, God manifests to humanity a temporal mode of being for which, in retrospect, the philosophies of the Aufklärung, notably the Kantian, have supplied the conceptual form. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 822
