Jesus did not become a tree - He became a man. So the personage of a tree, in this concept, is lesser than the personage of man, in the same way as the tree is a lesser creation than man.
Nevertheless, the Father has timeless knowledge of each unit of His creation, and that knowledge of each is the personage of each.
I have named the personage in this concept as
'fathno',
which is a shortening of Fathers knowing.
Each and every unit of creation, from the smallest basic fabric of the universe, has fathno.
With respect to man, then, the concept requires that man is made up of:
body;
soul;
person,
because the Person of Jesus had a created body and a created soul - for we are created in His likeness.
The Potential of Mankind
Jesus Christ is a man, perfectly, not only because His Person was one of the three Persons of the Trinity, but also because (and this goes hand in hand) He was without sin.
His being was pure.
Jesus was able to calm the seas, cure the deaf, raise the dead, heal the sick and more. Furthermore, He was very able in explaining the entire Scriptures and of forecasting future events.
Obviously, He had real control over things created, including those spiritual, for He showed mastery over good and evil spirits. His knowledge went beyond that of any other for He was ready to describe God's kingdom; to describe the Father. He saw the life story of a person without the need of a word.
Jesus noted that followers of His would carry out even greater miracles than He, and, of course, we see this fulfilled when we read of the wonders of the great souls down through the ages.
Indeed, the wonderful imaginations of science fiction writers are pale comparisons with the reality of the deeds of the great Saints of The Universal Church.
But, we have human souls, just as has Jesus and His amazing followers. We are man, too.
Just as Jesus worked wonders by the touch of His hand and just as Peter worked cures merely by the casting of his shadow over the sick, so also are we enabled to cure the sick and raise the dead!
And these things are not something brought to us by Jesus as though mankind was not previously capable of them. Many miracles were performed before Jesus came amongst us.
Jesus showed us the way, for the power of the physical and spiritual being that we are,
is a natural part
of our creation.
Scientists inform us that our brain and our body are capable of performing ten times what seems to be their present capacity.
There appears to be no mention that we use only ten percent of our spiritual powers. It is a certainty, however, that
