Dear Editor: Is there an infinite God as well as finite man? Yes! God is Divine Man in whom infinite things are distinctly one. Did God create the universe? Out of what? Yes! God created the universe out of his own infinite substance, which is Love and according to his own infinite form, which is wisdom. Is man an eternal being? If so, what survives the body? Yes! Man is an eternal being because he was created in the image and likeness of God and is therefore capable of receiving divine love and wisdom from God, returning it to Him in forms of use and by it being conjoined with God. The human soul, formed of spiritual substances and receptive of life inflowing immediately and mediately (directly and indirectly), survives the death or laying aside of our material body. What is the relationship between the spiritual and the natural, between mind and body? In both instances the relationship is one of cause and effect! There are two centers of creation: 1st the spiritual sun, which is pure love and its world and 2nd, the natural sun which is pure fire, and its world. The body is organized of natural substances and is capable of clothing life's ultimate forms and responding with motion. The mind is composed of spiritual and natural substances and when divinely organized, is capable of receiving life and responding, as if of itself, with human thoughts and affections. How can the infinite God relate in any understandable ratio to finite man, created in His image and likeness? There is no ratio between the infinite and the finite. However, the image and likeness of God in man enables him to receive, feel and use as his own divine love and wisdom of the Lord! The infinite can look to what is its own in man because of reception based on the appearance of self-life, and can be conjoined with the infinite from itself in the finite.
