Though, unlike Christians and certain Jungians,
\nYou differentiated God per se
\n(Who, if Creation\u2019s not self-made, transcends
\nThe finite human mind) from a God-image;
\nAnd though the all-male Trinity was coined
\nBy dogmatists and Fathers of the Church;
\nIn declaring fourfold symbols (formed by Self) \u2013
\nWhich to you stood for true totality \u2013
\nTo be the only right <\/em>sort of God-image,
\nFor souls, possessed by Self, inclined to see
\nIn individuation Incarnation<\/em>
\nYou resurrected an old Gnostic dogma \u2013
\n\u201cDivine Quaternity\u201d, which includes Satan
\n(The elder son of God and His Sophia),
\nWhile for inflated egos you refined
\nThe fantasy that man shall become God.
\nOy ve voy! Better to be overwhelmed
\nBy weighing Indivisibility<\/em>
\n(As was poor Job, the bravest kind of Jew)
\nOr to conceive a Godhead with three <\/em>faces,
\nWho points at least to paradox and transcendence,
\nThan to project one\u2019s evil onto God
\nOr to believe mankind shall be God\u2019s equal.
\nIn short you should have named it a man<\/em>-image,
\nIf not Anthr\u00f3pos<\/em> or Ad\u00e1m Kadm\u00f3n<\/em>;
\nFor through it man, not God, needs know himself
\nAnd hence that the Creator\u2019s Whole<\/em> and One<\/em>.
\nThis said, I grant I am a bit unfair:
\nYou termed yourself not faithful theologian
\nBut analyst of men\u2019s perceptions, right or wrong.
\nFor two millennia folk have believed
\nThat God became a man, or vice versa.
\nYou knew this was projection<\/em> of the Self \u2013
\nThough I would add the Soul which is its core \u2013
\nOnto a healer-prophet. Yet, like Yeshu
\nWhen dying disillusioned on the cross,
\nYou underestimated the very force
\nYou had\u00a0 aroused and sanctified in minds.
\nThough meaningful, it\u2019s no coincidence
\nThat now some regard you as The Messiah!<\/p>\n
