Analogue 62   The Theory of Resemblances The child who is born of a woman resembles the one she loves. If it is her husband, then it resembles him, but if she has an extra-marital lover, well then, it looks like him. Strangely, if a woman lies with her husband because he has coerced her, yet her heart lies elsewhere, her offspring will resemble the other one she loves. Those who go in to be with the Son of God are not in love with the system of this world, but rather with the Master, and so those who are conceived by them resemble him, and not this world. It is natural for humans to unite with humans, horses with horses, and donkeys with donkeys. Species unite with like species in the same manner that Spirit unites with Spirit, Logos with Logos, and Light with Light. If you become human, you will be loved by humans. If you become Spirit, the Spirit will unite with you. If you become Logos, the Logos will come to you. If you become Light, the Light will become a companion to you...
