By Means of the Incarnation, God, the Creator, took upon Himself the Discrete Degrees of Creation that He had put forth beneath Himself—By the Glorification the Creator provided Himself with a Divine Human, having in it Each Degree of Created Life in its Infinitude—The Holy Spirit is the Influx of Life from the Creator through the Divine Human provided by the Glorification—The Trinity is the Creator from Eternity, the Divine Human taken on by Glorification, and the Holy Spirit—The Glorification of the Human is the Perfect Example of Man's Regeneration—The Glorification of the Lord effected Man's Redemption—The Word is perpetually enlightening and ennobling Humanity—The Sole Object of Life in the World is to accomplish Regeneration for the Perfection of the Love of Use and its Blessings.
