Three Concepts from The Case of the Devine Child:

1) The Divine Child

a) “The Lord was born like another man…” God presented himself to us in the flesh for us to understand him.

- we needed Gin in the flesh as the Divine Child because that was the only way possible for our natural minds to understand Him

- we lost consciousness of the spiritual world when we became a split-brain race – a rational mind

- the Divine Child came to us through Incarnation Event = Birth of Jesus Christ (as known to Christian Religion)

- the Incarnation Event connects corresponds the natural threefold self to the spiritual threefold self

- the Devine Child is the revelation of God as a Divine Human in the natural form

- the Divine Child learned who he was by reading the Old Testament

- He learned that He was the Visible Incarnated God and that his unconscious spiritual mind was the Divine Father

b) My opinion

- I understand that the Incarnation Evens as a Divine Child was the only possible way for God to show himself physically without going against our rational race

- I am ashamed that throughout most of my life my religion gives spotlight to the suffering and death of Jesus on the Cross

- Christians shouldn’t focus on the death of Jesus on the Cross rather than the development of our rational mind

- I understand God as the Divine Human because I have the same characteristics as him because I am human

c) Cultural and psychological aspects

- most people still don’t understand the truth behind God’s appearance in the natural world

- ex: Passion of the Christ (movie)

millions of dollars earned on the glorification of Jesus’ suffering and death

2) The Divine Marriage

a) The Divine Marriage is the result of the conjunction of Divine Truth and Divine Good.

- The natural mind of the Divine child was ready to receive the Divine Good descending from his Divine Rational Mind once he learned his spiritual mind was the Divine Father

- ex: “It is Good that makes the essential Divine, and it is Truth that makes the Human of the Divine.”

- Truth is the external activity of Good

- GOOD = INTERNAL, TRUTH = EXTERNAL

b) My opinion

- Something may seem rational because we can talk ourselves into it but unless it stems from good intentions it remains false

- I feel more comfortable with examining scripture from a highly credited and respected scientist

c) Cultural and psychological aspects

- we use logic methods in order to prove something that is clearly false, just so that we can practice making things seem true

3) GOOD + TRUTH = RATIONAL

a) The rational is from good, but only exists from truth. Good flows in by an internal way;

but truth by an external way. The rational is formed from the conjunction of good and truth:

GOOD + TRUTH = RATIONAL

- ex: The color green is not a primary color, you need to mix blue and yellow to make green

b) My opinion

- It makes sense to me because if we lived by truth without the presence of good,

we would make up convenient truths because man can reason

c) Cultural and psychological aspects

- We are constantly separating good and truth:

- examples: - coffee vs. cigarettes

- using drugs

- eating disorders

- we cannot afford to separate good and truth if we want to develop rational minds

and elevate our minds to the higher heavens
