GENERIC MAN

            I quoted from Paul R. Smillie’s book MARY BAKER EDDY in my post IS MARY BAKER EDDY THE WOMAN THAT GOD-CROWNED?  In his book he talks about generic man and the woman God-crowned (Revelation 12) and that Mary Baker Eddy is the human appearing of the absolute generic man, that the woman in the Apocalypse is the symbol, just as Jesus, being the human appearing, is the Lamb (symbol) and the Christ is the absolute.  We even use the term of Christ Jesus or Jesus Christ, which is the absolute Christ appearing as the human Jesus and the symbol is that he is the Lamb of God.  Smillie says that we do not call ourselves the Lamb of God, for there is only one Lamb and that is Jesus.  He continues to say that we cannot claim to be the woman of the Apocalypse because that belongs to Mary Baker Eddy alone.  But I am wondering if he is 100% correct about what he says on this topic.  {All my comments to his work and Helen Wright’s work, while quoting from their books, will be in these types of brackets.}  On page 245 he says, “Christian Scientists are fond of saying that Mrs. Eddy says the Woman in the Apocalypse is generic man, but she does not say that.  ‘The woman in the Apocalypse symbolizes generic man, the spiritual idea of God; she illustrates the coincidence of God and man as the divine Principle and divine idea.’  This statement says that the Woman ‘symbolizes’ generic man but certainly does not say the woman is generic man.

Chapter 8 – The Third Woe’s Struggle and Peril

The Two Transits of Venus

            Venus, the morning star that Jesus promised to us in Revelation, traversed the sun twice during the first part of the twenty-first century.  By the way, one definition of “measure” is “traverse”.  I mention this because at the end of Chapter 7 I was talking about the second gift (Revelation 11) which is the rod, to measure the Temple and those within the Temple.  We all know that to measure something means to find out how big it is, but to measure can also mean to govern.  So the “rod” governs with divine Science, and the morning star (Venus) and the rod both have to do with divine Science.  But what is it that really governs Christian Scientists besides the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, and the Church Tenets?  It is the Church Manual.  So, it is quite possible that the rod given to the man child in Revelation 12 happens to be Mary Baker Eddy’s Church Manual.  This Manual is only obeyed when the estoppel clauses are obeyed and The Mother Church is stopped, in other words it disorganizes!

            Both of the Venus transits took place on Tuesdays.  The first was on June 8, 2004 and the second one was on June 5, 2012.  These two transits, however, point to the third Christ Advent, when generic man (the second Sentinel) is recognized as the woman God-crowned.  But the third and most violent woe takes place after the two transits take place.  This is because error knows that its time is short and is fighting for life.  But error can never have any life, because, God did not create error or evil.  The only life evil and error ever have is the life that mortal minds give it as belief.

Behold I stand at the door, and knock, if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. — Christ Jesus.

Chapter 7 – The Second Woe’s Struggle and Peril

The Two Transits of Venus

            Venus, the morning star that Jesus promised to us in Revelation, traversed the sun twice during the mission of the woman God-crowned.  Both transits took place on Wednesdays.  The first was on December 9, 1874 and the second one was on December 6, 1882.  This set of transits across the sun took the symbols from Revelation and made them come true, for the angel with “a little book open” is “clothed with a cloud” and the woman God-crowned is “clothed with the sun”.  Venus is clothed with a cloud of volcanic ash and “his [her] face was as it were the sun” because it is clothed with the sun during its transits.  She is the morning star Jesus promised to us.  The angel is feminine because of the symbol of the rainbow (the only place in the BIBLE that this word is used), this rainbow points to the goddess Iris.  This angel is one with the woman God-crowned, they are one and the same – they are Mary Baker Eddy.  However, Mary Baker Eddy depicts Venus in her illustrated poem Christ and Christmas with seven points of light.  This symbolizes God as Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, and Love.
