enables us to understand Jesus, for he also had it as long as he was limited by the body and life assumed from Mary.
Jesus was an expression in time and space of a soul, similar to our own expression. The processes of his purely human life must have been similar to our own. In the fourteenth chapter of John he appears to be in the interior consciousness, where he perceives his identity with the Father. This is shown by what follows:
"If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him."
This was a most remarkable statement, but it fell on uncomprehending minds.
"Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us."
Are we not always looking for some expression of the Father apart from the Son, and do we not also have our answer in what follows?
"Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?"
From these statements can any of us ever expect to see God in any other shape or form
