Jesus
underwent the same variations of spiritual experience as do (on a
lesser scale) other deeply religious men: that is to say, his ‘core’
of normal awareness of God, when he spoke of
God, was interrupted by occasional periods of more intense
spirituality, when he spoke as
God, because at these times the Spirit of God within him was so clear
to his inner sense that his will and his self became as utterly
subsumed within God as a Man’s can be, and he live; and these
periods were balanced by moments of bleakness and despair when for a
time all awareness of God seemed to have departed from him, and
nothing was left but darkness and materiality:** ‘My God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me?’
