[continued]

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?’
