Consider an electrical circuit problem where you need to find the equivalent resistance “R”, in a chain of resistors.
The chain consists of 50 segments, each segment containing a resistor of value “R “. The goal is to determine the value of “R” such that the total resistance between the terminals is equal to “R”.
Directly solving this problem by calculating the equivalent resistance for each segment step by step is labor-intensive. Instead, we’ll use the concept of infinity to simplify the process. Let’s replace the rightmost resistor in the chain with the entire chain itself. By doing this, we essentially create a recursive structure where the chain’s right segment is always equal to the whole chain.
These concepts can be applied to various fields, demonstrating how infinity simplifies complex problems. The principles of substitution and infinity reveal deeper truths about mathematical and physical systems, encouraging us to think beyond traditional finite constraints.
Returning to our original analogy of human dignity, the rays symbolize the journey of human life and the quest for divine likeness. Each person’s path may differ in form and circumstance, but fundamentally, all are equal in their inherent worth and potential. Understanding and embracing this equality helps us treat others with the respect and love that reflects our shared divine origin.
By focusing on our own actions and striving to embody love and humility, we align ourselves with this eternal truth. In doing so, we contribute to a more harmonious and compassionate world, where every individual’s dignity is recognized and cherished.
And now, for those who are dozing off with confusion, let’s break down and clarify this simple parable. I know you’re asking yourself: where have I ended up?! I know you’re already fed up with this elementary stuff – you can take a break and get some fresh air while the elder explains this parable to the simplest minds (or, better said: to the simplest amoebas or paramecia, or to Siberian felt boots) by going for a walk in the garden near the pharmacy… Just hang in there a bit longer, and your bus will arrive soon…
So, the situation with the laws of the Kingdom of God, the action of Spiritual laws (specifically the law of Faith) in this world, is similar to solving equations and problems with tricks involving infinity. We seem to complicate the problem at first, but there, in infinity, the problem is solved verbally. Similarly, we transfer all earthly (worldly) problems (such as unforgiveness, betrayals, theft, loss, grief, offenses…) into Eternity – and there (in Eternity, from the perspective of Eternity, of Love-Personality), everything is resolved verbally (there, in Eternity, we take a hint (principle) on how to solve typical problems and then solve finite problems (of this age) according to that principle (rule)). We complicate the situation (“problem”): we call upon a third party – the Lord Jesus (the Hypostatic Eternity-Love), but with Jesus (in the Holy Spirit), everything becomes clear and simple; in Jesus, there are no problems, and for believers (in the Lord Jesus), there are no unsolvable tasks – any mountain that stands (or is placed) in the way (to Happiness, Divinization) of a Christian will be forced to move and throw itself into the sea or abyss… and most importantly, the believer does not ask for this, but commands it (the mountain) as an authority! (For example, N – any mountain (problem, trouble, trial…; N ≥ 0, meaning anything real; if N is negative (an imaginary problem, illusion, fantasy), then the task has no solution – there’s nothing to solve). So, whatever N (the mountain) may be, we solve the problem (“problem”) in the following way: we move to infinity, to Eternity, and then the problem is solved verbally, jokingly, as in the solution of an equation:
Now, let’s give examples of solving typical problems (one of them – the others are solved similarly) from the three components of selfishness-pride: love of glory (seeking, desiring glory, dominance, anger…), love of money (the craving for possession, sadness-grief from loss…), and love of pleasure (seeking various pleasures: spiritual, emotional, physical; hellish torment of emptiness and sorrow from unfulfilled desires…). We already know how to solve all these problems (from those three hellish components of pride-selfishness) – we have detailed them in previous parts; and now we will demonstrate how to solve them using tricks with “infinity”-Eternity (or more precisely, remind ourselves how to solve them, because the principle is the same, we will just talk about it in different words-analogies).
As an example-illustration of solving problems from love of glory, let’s solve one real (very complex) typical worldly problem (about anger, revenge, unforgiveness…). A guy is troubled (overthinking): – I don’t know what I will do to him (her, them) for what they did to me (my selfishness is hurt)! A person overthinks: what to come up with, how to take revenge, punish, inflict evil, cause pain and suffering, and in such a way that they will truly regret it, suffer, and not just die instantly?! In this equation-problem, so many irrationalities, so many unknown selfish desires and passions are intertwined, so many reasons to be angry and have full rights for revenge, that no psychological analysis will help, but on the contrary, will confuse even more (from one extreme to another – as in the case of an equation, when trying to get rid of irrationality (radicals) “head-on”). It seems the problem is unsolvable (how to solve it if killing is not enough for such an offense, harm, evil…? Killing is simple (at least theoretically), but what if killing is not enough?! What to do?!).
