To know "God-as-man", is to know God's transcendence of man; to know who you are, is to transcend yourself. You cannot have immanence without transcendence.There is no Transcendent God, there is only God-as-man
Emotions are incidental to whether an action is good or evil. A good deed produces a positive emotion because it displays goodness; it is not good because it displays a positive emotion. It is good for the same reason that beauty is good: it radiates the Truth, whose two sides are the Good and the Beautiful. "Goodness is internal beauty, and beauty is external goodness."choosing between an action that produces good fruit (emotions) and one that produces evil fruit (emotions)
That is correct. But above Reason is Intellection. Just as Emotion is transcended by Reason, so Reason is transcended by Intellection. Intellection is an infallible means to knowledge due to the unity ofa Knower and known in this mode of perception. So don't stop at Emotion; transcend Reason as well.which he does by transcending his immediate emotional reaction to something and meditating/reasoning (meditation-reasoning = transcendence) upon the various causal possibilities of setting this or that spirit or emotion into motion (action).
The fruit of Reason is cleverness. Wisdom is the fruit of Intellection. Only the Intellect can receive direct knowledge. Reason proceeds from man to God through the intermediary of language and logic; the Intellect proceeds directly from God to man.In other words the task of the wise man is to be the reasoning conscience of causality
Emotion is of the psyche. Spirituality is of the Intellect. Just as Emotion is subordinate to Reason, so Reason is inferior to Intelligence.on the spiritual-emotional realm,
Knowledge of Good and Evil is a gift of the Intellect, not of Reason directly.the realm of consciousness of life, a task he cannot perform if he is not conscious of both good and evil causal possibilities.
