Volume 4 — January 5, 1903 “Freedom is necessary in order to recognize the good and the evil.”
Stage One — Independent Biblical Identification
”This Freedom Is Necessary to Recognize the Good and the Evil”
“Daughter, this freedom is necessary in order to recognize the good and the evil.”
Deuteronomy 30:15–19 — “Behold, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and evil. For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it. But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away and worship other gods, and serve them, I declare to you today that you will surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants,” The freedom to choose good or evil is constitutive of the moral order; without genuine freedom, neither good nor evil is recognizable as such. The divine’s allowance of the enemies’ plotting is the structural condition of moral recognition, not its failure. Direct doctrinal parallel
Sirach 15:14–17 — “He himself made man from the beginning and left him in the hand of his own counsel. If you choose, you can keep the commandments. To be faithful is a matter of your choice. He has set fire and water before you. You will stretch forth your hand to whichever you desire. Before man is life and death. Whichever he likes, it will be given to him.” The Deuterocanonical statement of freedom as the ground of moral recognition; the divine “gives too much liberty” precisely because this is the constitutive structure of the human person as created. Direct doctrinal parallel
Romans 1:21, 28 — “Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;” The divine giving-over to the consequences of free choices; the freedom that produces plotting against ministers is not the divine’s failure to restrain but the structure of human freedom taken to its self-chosen destination. Direct doctrinal parallel
”I Am Tired of Man — So Tired That I Share It with You”
“Know, however, that I am tired of man – so tired that I share it with you. In fact, when you feel that tiredness of this state of victim, and almost the will to go out of it, this comes to you from Me.”
Isaiah 43:24 — “You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices, but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities.” The most direct OT expression of the divine weariness with human sin; the January 5 declaration is this Isaian language given its most personal and intimate form — stated directly to the victim soul as the one with whom the divine shares what he cannot otherwise express. Direct doctrinal parallel
Psalm 95:10 — “Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “They are a people who err in their heart. They have not known my ways.” The sustained divine weariness over time; the January 5 tiredness is not a momentary impatience but the prolonged exhaustion of divine patience with a generation that will not know his ways. Direct doctrinal parallel
Numbers 11:11–15 — “Why have you treated your servant … I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.” The divine sharing the weight of the people with the chosen intercessor; here the direction is inverted — not the intercessor asking why the burden is placed on him but the divine sharing his own burden of weariness with the victim soul who has taken the people’s weight. Typological
Hebrews 12:3 — “For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.” The enduring of hostility as the form of the redemptive tiredness; Jesus’s warning to Luisa (“be attentive not to put your will in”) is the positive form of what Hebrews 12:3 provides as the negative imperative — the sharing of the tiredness does not authorize the abandonment of the endurance. Direct doctrinal parallel
”I Am Looking for the Will of the Creature to Lean On”
“I am looking for the will of the creature to lean on it and chastise the rebels.”
Ezekiel 22:30 — “I sought for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.” The divine searching for the aligned creaturely will; the January 5 entry operates in the same register but in the active direction — the divine is looking for a will whose alignment authorizes the chastisement against the rebels. The creaturely will is the divine’s point of contact with the historical order in both directions: restraining and executing. Direct doctrinal parallel
1 Kings 18:36–37 (paraphrase) — Elijah’s prayer at Carmel: “O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word.” The prophet whose aligned will and prayer becomes the vehicle of the divine’s powerful action in the historical order; the fire that falls on the altar follows the aligned creaturely will’s prayer. Typological
Matthew 18:18–19 — “whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in … if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.” The creaturely will’s binding operative in the divine economy; the victim soul’s will aligned with the divine will to chastise is the earth-side that authorizes the heaven-side action. Direct doctrinal parallel
2 Chronicles 7:14 — “if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” The creaturely turning as the precondition the divine leans on before acting; the divine action contingent on the creaturely will’s alignment, here applied to the chastisement direction rather than the mercy direction. Direct doctrinal parallel
Man Made for Heaven: The Trinitarian Imprint Within the Three Powers
“I did not make man for the earth, but for Heaven; his mind, his heart, and everything that his interior contains were to exist in Heaven. Had he done this, he would have received the influence of the Most Holy Trinity within his three powers, and It would have been copied within himself.”
Genesis 1:26–27 — “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness… So God created man in his own image.” The image-bearing as the designed orientation toward the Trinity; the “Trinitarian copy within the three powers” is the operational form of what Genesis 1:26 establishes. Man was made in the image of the Trinity — the three powers are the creaturely reflection of the three Persons — and the heaven-orientation was designed to maintain and deepen this correspondence through the influence received. Direct doctrinal parallel
2 Peter 1:4 — “by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.” The Trinitarian copy within the three powers is the theosis this passage names; the influence of the Trinity received within the three powers is the divine nature participatively imprinted in the creature whose three powers are oriented toward heaven. Direct doctrinal parallel
John 17:3 — “This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.” The intellect oriented toward heaven receives the eternal life that consists in knowing the Father and Son; the three-powers orientation to heaven is this eternal life operationally, not eschatologically deferred. Direct doctrinal parallel
Colossians 3:1–2 — “If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.” The directive form of what the entry states as the constitutive design: the mind was made to exist in heaven, and the Colossians directive is the recovery of that design which “occupying himself with earth” has abandoned. Direct doctrinal parallel
1 Corinthians 2:16 — “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.” The Trinitarian imprint within the intellect specifically; the mind of Christ is the intellect receiving the Wisdom of the Son — corresponding to Hogan’s Trinitarian assignment: Wisdom → Son → intellect. Direct doctrinal parallel
Deuteronomy 6:4–5 — “Hear, Israel: The LORD is our God. The LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.” The Shema as total-love mandate engaging the three powers; the “influence of the Most Holy Trinity within his three powers” is the Shema’s fulfillment from the divine side — the Trinity imprinting itself in the powers oriented wholly toward God. December 26 gave RP-9 its most complete human application; January 5 gives it its Trinitarian-source form from the divine perspective. Direct doctrinal parallel
”Since He Occupies Himself with Earth, He Receives Mud, Rot, and the Bilge of Vices”
“Since he occupies himself with earth, he receives mud, rot and the whole bilge of vices that the earth contains.”
Romans 1:21–25 (translation pending) — “although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened… they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator.” The orientation of the three powers toward the earth rather than heaven produces exactly the “mud, rot, and bilge of vices” Jesus names: the darkened thinking, the futile exchange. Romans 1 is the doctrinal form of the January 5 anthropological claim. Direct doctrinal parallel
Galatians 6:8 — “For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.” The earth/heaven polarity as a sowing-and-reaping structure; sowing the three powers to the earth reaps corruption (mud and rot), sowing them toward heaven reaps the Trinitarian imprint and eternal life. Direct doctrinal parallel
2 Peter 2:22 — “But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.” The visceral image for the earth-oriented soul; the “mud, rot, and bilge” of the entry is this wallowing-in-mire named from the theological-anthropology side. Direct doctrinal parallel
Stage Two — Comparison with Hogan’s Commentary
CORRESPONDENCES
Man made for heaven, not earth: both streams confirm. The three powers (intellect, memory, will) receiving the Trinitarian influence: both confirm. The victim soul’s temptation to leave coming from Jesus’s own tiredness: both confirm. The creaturely will as the divine’s point of contact with the historical order: both confirm.
DEVIATIONS
Hogan’s primary contribution is the Trinitarian faculty-mapping: Power → Father → will; Wisdom → Son → intellect; Love → Holy Spirit → memory. This is the most specific doctrinal development in the entry — the assignment of the Trinitarian Persons to the three powers is Hogan’s distinctive addition. Stage One does not provide this; the implicit scriptural anchors in Hogan’s mapping are 1 Corinthians 1:24 (Christ the wisdom and power of God), 1 John 4:8 (God is love), and Romans 11:33 (the depths of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God).
Stage One develops the freedom/recognition complex (Sirach 15:14–17, Deuteronomy 30:15–19, Romans 1:21) and the OT divine-tiredness tradition (Isaiah 43:24, Psalm 95:10, Numbers 11:11–15) without Hogan’s scriptural development of either section. The creaturely-will-as-divine-hinge complex (Ezekiel 22:30, 1 Kings 18:36–37, Matthew 18:18–19, 2 Chronicles 7:14) is Stage One only; Hogan focuses on the co-redemptive suffering rather than the creaturely will as the operative mechanism of the divine’s historical action.

ADDITIONS — HERS
Hogan’s Trinitarian faculty-mapping: Power → Father → will; Wisdom → Son → intellect; Love → Holy Spirit → memory. The most specific doctrinal development in the entry — giving the three-powers doctrine its Trinitarian-Person assignment. Hogan’s practical prayer-form: “I take your power wisdom and love to myself so that I can pray and operate on this divine level.” This is a first-person prayer-formula derived from the doctrinal content, giving the Trinitarian imprint its operative form for daily use. Implicit scriptural anchors: 1 Corinthians 1:24 (Christ the wisdom and power of God), 1 John 4:8 (God is love), Romans 11:33 (depths of riches and wisdom and knowledge).
VIP / SPECIAL DESIGNATIONS
Hogan designates the entry with a double elevation: “this is very very important message.” The content elevated encompasses both the doctrine of man made for heaven with the Trinitarian imprint, and the shared divine tiredness.
STAGE TWO SYNTHESIS
January 5, 1903 is Hogan double-VIP-designated and covers two major doctrinal movements: the theology of human freedom as the necessary condition of moral recognition, and the theology of man’s three-powers orientation toward heaven as the designed channel for the Trinitarian imprint. The dominant biblical traditions are the theological-anthropology tradition (Genesis 1:26–27; 2 Peter 1:4; John 17:3; Colossians 3:1–2) for the heaven-orientation and Trinitarian copy, and the prophetic divine-tiredness tradition (Isaiah 43:24; Psalm 95:10; Numbers 11:11–15) for the shared tiredness. A new tracking item opens: DTE-1 (Divine Tiredness Experienced) — the doctrine that the victim soul’s temptation to leave the victim state is the divine’s own weariness of humanity transmitted through the co-redemptive union.
Cross-Entry Synthesis
Volume 4 — January 5, 1903 “Freedom is necessary in order to recognize the good and the evil.”
The Paradox of Liberty: Freedom as the Condition of Moral Recognition
Luisa’s intercessory petition is the natural response of a victim soul who has watched calumnies escalate toward physical violence against Church ministers: “bind them.” Jesus’s response refuses the petition on doctrinal grounds: “this freedom is necessary in order to recognize the good and the evil.” Both streams identify this as a theological anthropology claim rather than a pastoral accommodation. Stage One develops the scriptural ground Hogan does not: Deuteronomy 30:15–19 (the divine setting before humanity the explicit choice between life and death as the constitutive structure of moral existence) and Sirach 15:14–17 (the most direct Deuterocanonical statement — man left in the power of his own free choice; fire and water set before him) as the foundational warrants. The divine “giving too much liberty” is not a failure of governance but the irreducible condition of the recognition-of-good-and-evil that the human person is constituted to exercise. Romans 1:21,28 provides the negative consequence: when the freedom is exercised toward the earth, the giving-over follows as the logical outcome of the freedom respected. The plotting against ministers is this freedom at its self-chosen destination — which is why binding them preemptively would remove the very structure that makes their conversion or condemnation meaningful.
The Divine Tiredness Shared: The Most Intimate Co-Redemptive Disclosure
“Know, however, that I am tired of man — so tired that I share it with you.” Hogan receives this as an extraordinary disclosure: “we don’t have any idea of the extraordinary love that God has for us.” The doctrinal weight is considerable. The victim soul’s temptation to leave the state of victim — which has appeared across the December arc as interior disturbance, unwanted rebellion, near-departures from the victim state — is now disclosed as not her own temptation at all. It comes from Jesus. “When you feel that tiredness of this state of victim, and almost the will to go out of it, this comes to you from Me.”
The co-redemptive participation has deepened to a new register. It is not only that the victim soul bears the sins of others (VSE-1 — her exterior appearing sin-covered before Justice) or the rebellion of others (the December 31 Gethsemane-form). She now bears the divine’s own affective state toward humanity. Isaiah 43:24 is the OT form: “you have wearied me with your iniquities” — the divine expressing weariness with human sin, a statement so striking it is rarely cited but fully present in the prophetic tradition. Psalm 95:10 (forty years I loathed that generation) gives it its sustained, historical form. Numbers 11:11–15 (Moses unable to carry the people alone) provides the typological structure: the intercessor sharing what the divine shares about the weight of the people. In the January 5 entry, the direction is complete: not Moses asking why the burden is placed on him, but the divine sharing his own weariness with the victim soul who has been carrying the burden for years.
The warning that follows — “be attentive not to put your will in” — is Hebrews 12:3 in its positive form: consider him who endured hostility from sinners, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. The sharing of the tiredness does not authorize the departure from the endurance. This is DTE-1’s full structure: the divine shares the tiredness precisely so the victim soul will not mistake it as her own, and will not act on it as her own. The co-redemptive participation includes the capacity to distinguish the divine’s interior states from her own — “this comes to you from Me” — which is itself a new depth of the union.
The Creaturely Will as the Divine’s Point of Contact with History
“I am looking for the will of the creature to lean on it and chastise the rebels.” The verb is significant: leaning on. The divine does not act unilaterally into the historical order but looks for a creaturely will aligned with the divine action. Ezekiel 22:30 provides the structural parallel — the divine searching for a man to stand in the breach — but here the direction reverses: the divine is not looking for a will to restrain the chastisement but for a will whose alignment authorizes the execution of it. The creaturely will operates in both directions: restraining Justice when aligned to mercy (VSC-1’s foundational structure) and authorizing Justice when aligned to the chastisement determination (the January 5 reversal).
Stage One provides the citation complex Hogan does not: 1 Kings 18:36–37 (Elijah’s aligned will as the vehicle of fire from heaven), Matthew 18:18–19 (whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven — the creaturely will structurally operative in the divine economy), and 2 Chronicles 7:14 (the creaturely turning as the precondition the divine leans on before acting). Together these establish the principle: the divine action in history is mediated through, and in some sense conditioned on, the aligned creaturely will. The victim soul’s will is the hinge. This connects to the entire OBL-1 arc’s deepest significance: the formation of the human will’s alignment to the divine will is not merely a personal spiritual achievement but the instrument through which the divine acts in history.
Man Made for Heaven: The Trinitarian Imprint Through the Three Powers
Jesus raises his hand toward heaven and delivers what is the entry’s second doctrinal summit: “I did not make man for the earth, but for Heaven; his mind, his heart, and everything that his interior contains were to exist in Heaven. Had he done this, he would have received the influence of the Most Holy Trinity within his three powers, and It would have been copied within himself.”
Both streams confirm the three-powers structure; Hogan provides its most doctrinally precise development: Power → Father → will; Wisdom → Son → intellect; Love → Holy Spirit → memory. The Trinity is not imprinted uniformly but specifically — each Person corresponds to one faculty, and each faculty receives the particular characteristic of the Person corresponding to it. The practical prayer-form Hogan derives is its operative application: “I take your power wisdom and love to myself so that I can pray and operate on this divine level.”
Stage One provides the scriptural complex: Genesis 1:26–27 (image-bearing as the constitutive structure; the three powers as the creaturely reflection of the three Persons), 2 Peter 1:4 (partakers of the divine nature — the Trinitarian copy as theosis), John 17:3 (eternal life as knowing the Father and Son — the intellect receiving the Trinitarian Wisdom already in time), and Colossians 3:1–2 (set your mind on things above — the directive form of the constitutive design). Deuteronomy 6:4–5 (RP-9) gives it its Shema form: the Shema’s total-love mandate, fulfilled from the divine side, produces the Trinitarian copy — the three powers oriented wholly toward God receive the Trinitarian influence wholly into themselves.
The contrast is unsparing: “since he occupies himself with earth, he receives mud, rot and the whole bilge of vices that the earth contains.” Romans 1:21–25 is the doctrinal form: the same exchange-logic operating in the negative direction — the creature who exchanges the divine orientation for the earthly receives the earth’s content rather than the Trinity’s. Galatians 6:8 (sowing to flesh reaps corruption) and 2 Peter 2:22 (returning to wallow in the mire) give the contrast its visceral form. The same three powers designed to receive the Trinitarian imprint receive instead the earth’s bilge when their orientation is reversed.
This teaching is RP-9’s Trinitarian-source form: December 26 gave the Shema its most complete human application (the three powers oriented to God alone after the devastating hail); January 5 gives it the divine-side perspective (the Trinity imprinting itself in the three powers when they are oriented toward heaven). The two entries together form the complete circuit of the Shema’s application to the three-powers doctrine.
Synthesis
The dominant biblical imagination across January 5, 1903 is the theological anthropology of the three powers (Genesis 1:26–27; 2 Peter 1:4; John 17:3; Deuteronomy 6:4–5) integrated with the prophetic divine-tiredness tradition (Isaiah 43:24; Psalm 95:10) and the freedom-as-moral-structure complex (Deuteronomy 30:15–19; Sirach 15:14–17). The entry is Hogan double-VIP-designated and opens the year 1903 with a new depth of the co-redemptive participation.
Three findings carry the most theological weight. First, DTE-1 (Divine Tiredness Experienced) opens as a new doctrinal item: the victim soul’s temptation to leave the victim state is the divine’s own weariness of humanity transmitted through the co-redemptive union — the most intimate form of the co-participation yet stated, going beyond bearing human sins to bearing the divine’s own affective state. Isaiah 43:24 (you have wearied me with your iniquities) is the OT warrant. Second, the creaturely-will-as-divine-hinge in its chastisement direction (Ezekiel 22:30 inverted; Matthew 18:18–19) gives the victim soul’s aligned will its most active historical role in the entry — the divine leaning on the creaturely will to execute the judgment, not merely to hold it back. Third, Hogan’s Trinitarian faculty-mapping (Power/Father/will; Wisdom/Son/intellect; Love/Spirit/memory) gives the three-powers doctrine its most specific Trinitarian-Person form in the volume, grounding the January 5 entry as the doctrinal complement to December 26’s Shema-application.

DTE-1 — Divine Tiredness Experienced — new tracking item (Hogan double-VIP): “I am tired of man – so tired that I share it with you. In fact, when you feel that tiredness of this state of victim, and almost the will to go out of it, this comes to you from Me.” The victim soul’s temptation to leave the victim state is not her own temptation but the divine’s own weariness of humanity transmitted through the co-redemptive union. Isaiah 43:24 (“you have wearied me with your iniquities”) is the OT warrant; Psalm 95:10 (the sustained weariness over forty years) is the extended form. The warning that follows — “be attentive not to put your will in” — establishes the doctrinal structure: the divine shares the tiredness so the victim soul will not mistake it as her own and act on it. The co-redemptive participation now extends to bearing the divine’s own affective state toward humanity. Monitor for development in remaining entries and higher volumes.
Creaturely will as divine hinge in chastisement direction — VSC-1 inverted: “I am looking for the will of the creature to lean on it and chastise the rebels.” The creaturely will operates in both directions in the divine economy: restraining Justice when aligned to mercy (VSC-1’s foundational structure), and authorizing Justice when aligned to the chastisement determination. Ezekiel 22:30 is here inverted — the divine seeking not a will to restrain the destruction but a will whose alignment enables the chastisement’s execution. Matthew 18:18–19 (whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven) is the structural warrant. This is OBL-1’s most active single historical application: the formed creaturely will as the instrument through which the divine’s action in history is both restrained and authorized.
Trinitarian faculty-mapping — Hogan’s most specific doctrinal contribution in January 5: Hogan provides the Trinitarian-Person-to-faculty assignment: Power → Father → will; Wisdom → Son → intellect; Love → Holy Spirit → memory. This is the most specific single doctrinal development of the three-powers doctrine in Volume 4, giving it its Trinitarian-Person correspondence. Hogan’s derived prayer-form: “I take your power wisdom and love to myself so that I can pray and operate on this divine level.” The January 5 Trinitarian-source form (divine side) and December 26’s Shema-application (human side) together complete the circuit of the three-powers doctrine in the volume.
