Analysis of Individual World Views

I₂ want to give an example of using a structure diagram to analyze belief systems.

I₂ will start with the diagram representing acceptance of a trionic structure: [ I₁ - I₂ - I₃ ]

this could represent any number of belief systems depending on the nature of the components and the interactions among them. In particular, there would be variations depending on whether I₃ was considered a mind or a soul.

some individuals may want to extend their belief system to relate to a divine entity.

[ I₁ - I₂ - I₃ ] - G₃ - G₄ - G₅

this represents a connection between a complete individual and a savior. by savior is meant a representative of the deity on earth, which deity is a personification of the ground of being. there is a connection between the human and the savior. this represents the view of the human individual in early christian theology which holds that individual human beings have only a rational soul -- a mind. Jesus, the savior, was unique.

[ I₁ - I₂ - I₃ - G₃ ] - G₄ - G₅

this is the structure of the savior. the representative of the deity on earth has an extra component, a spark of the divine fire.

[ I₁ - I₂ - I₃/G₃ ] - G₄ - G₅

This is the structure diagram of the arrian heresy, a belief in early christianity to the effect that there was no difference in kind between the human and the savior; hence, the same diagram for the human as for Jesus. the I₃ is understood as a spark of the divine fire. everyone has it; but, it burns more brightly in Jesus compared to everyone else.
