 Himself, for He is Primal Man in whose image and likeness we are made. He therefore assumed humanity through Mary, a virgin, in order that He might be uninfluenced and unaffected by the limitations which come through a human father in order that He might be in a true sense "The Only Begotten Son of God." God thus projected Himself into human life through the assumption of a limited human form on the plane of earth in order not only that He might rescue mankind, but also that He might return into the Infinite later without finite limitations from a human father, and henceforward be the Inﬁnite God.

"He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me, seeth him who sent me." The Lord tells us of this relationship in a living way in the Parable of the Vine and the branches.

The Son of God who is said to have been set down on the right hand of God after His resurrection was the Divine Human, or the
