Between "MAN," and "The little man."In like manner in which the gap between Oligarchy and God was filled in, so the gap between The little man and the divine image, MAN needs to be filled. (See Appendix A4 and A5.) It needs to be filled both on the moral level, where the related structures pertain to the nature of Christianity where the great transitions are made; and on the scientific level where the structures relate to the Christ, the spiritual idea of God bringing to light the spiritual image of man. In Appendix A6 we find two central concepts for these positions. The concept of "River" (Channel for thought) relates to the moral position, and "Resurrection" (Spiritualization of thought) relates to the Christ or scientific position. These Glossary definitions can aid in determining the nature of the political structures that relate to these elements. The correlation that has been made, between "River" as "Channel for thought" and "Civic institutions" may appear far fetched, but when one brings the applicable painting from Christ and Christmas into the context, and the applicable textbook chapter, both of which are centered on Science, Theology, and Medicine, the connection becomes tighter. Much the same connection can be found between the Glossary term "Resurrection" and the chosen political correlative, named "Scientific Christianity." We will explore these elements in more detail later. We also have the first column to deal with. The river that flows in this column is defined as "The love of the good and beautiful, and their immortality." So we deal with love in this column, with beauty, and with immortality. We deal with the inner development of man. We must also remember that the outer column of the matrix reflects itself in the adjacent inner column as it manifest. Thus, the concept of the "unknown" (...which spiritual sense alone comprehends) reflects itself in the concept of "Resurrection" (A new and higher idea of immortality; material belief yielding to spiritual understanding). This concept of focusing on a process that brings the unknown to light - a type a spiritual exploration - has its foremost equivalent in classical humanist education, or more generally, in Classical humanism. The element that is centered on the concept of "valley" on Appendix A6 (The shadow of death vs. Christian Science, contradicting sense, which maketh "the valley to bud an blossom as the rose") may be defined as an element called, "Healing systems." || - page index - || - chapter index - || - Exit - ||
