And what is the potential man, after all? Is he not the sum of all that is human? Divine, in other words?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Man is a physical and spiritual epitome of the Universe.
Man is a spiritual intelligence, who has taken flesh with the object of gaining experience in worlds below the spiritual, in order that he may be able to master and to rule them, and in later ages take his place in the creative and directing hierarchies of the universe.
Individual potential of life is cosmic potential. Individual is divine deep inside. Transcendental experience awakens that divinity in man. And when you kill a man you deprive him of that birthright of it.
There is nothing on earth divine except humanity.
The divine is perhaps that quality in man which permits him to endure the lack of God.
A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.
God is not anything human. God is a force, God is chaos, God is unknown. God is terror and enlightenment at the same time.
The whole question of God and what God is, and whether it's a blond guy with a beard, I don't know... I don't know that. Do I believe that there's something greater at work than the sum of humanity? Yeah, I think so.
The way you become divine is to become wholly human.
And because his Spirit was wholly God, he is called God, and he is called man on account of his flesh.
