40. Transformations of the Horizon of Consciousness

The Gospel also gives us an example of what has just been described. It is the process of baptism, when Christ enters Jesus of Nazareth and sinks into his humanity. He, the God, buries himself in a physical body, permeating every one of his atoms. He sees man around him and his world. This is how we feel when we see ourselves around us and believe we see the macrocosm in all its glory! We first have to be shattered by the world that opens up to us in order to realize that the world we see is false and that the stones are not bread. The Gospel of Matthew describes how Christ sees this illusory world and overcomes it in his encounter with the demon. He is not deceived and rejects the illusion. If we do not want to err, we must transform our morality, and this transformation must extend to the intellectual world within us.
