19-1926-08-25 Biblical Resonance Analysis
Volume 19 — August 25, 1926 “The Divine Will makes of the whole Life of Our Lord one single act in His interior.”
STAGE ONE — INDEPENDENT BIBLICAL IDENTIFICATION
The Single Act of the Eternal One: Christ’s Interior Life as Simultaneous Totality
“My whole Life was one single act coming from that single act of the Eternal One, which has no succession of acts… in the interior of my Humanity, my Divinity, the Eternal Word united to my soul, formed one single act of my whole Life… in my interior, as I was conceived, at the same time I was also born, I cried, I moaned, I walked, I operated, I spoke, I preached the Gospel, I instituted the Sacraments, I suffered and was crucified.”
John 8:58 — “Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.” The divine “I am” is the eternal single act — the divine present that has no before or after, no succession of temporal states. Christ’s interior life proceeds from this eternal present: the sequential appearances of his humanity in time are the temporal expression of an eternal simultaneity that can never be divided into a before or after. Christological/Trinitarian.
Hebrews 9:12, 26 (translation pending) — “He entered once for all into the holy places… as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.” The ephapax — “once for all” — is the temporal face of the single-act doctrine: the acts that appeared sequentially in time carry the ontological character of one unrepeatable act, the “once” expressing the “one single act” that never ceases even as it overflows into temporal succession. Direct doctrinal parallel.
John 5:19 — “Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.” The Son’s acts being grounded in and proceeding from the Father’s single act — “coming from that single act of the Eternal One” — is the Johannine Son-Father correspondence: what the Son does is the temporal expression of what the Father does eternally and as one act. Christological/Trinitarian.
Colossians 1:15–17 — “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. … in him all things are held together.” All things holding together in Christ corresponds to the single act that holds together all the acts of his humanity and maintains them as one: Christ as the image of the invisible God is the one in whom the Father’s single eternal act finds its creaturely embodiment. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Everything Remaining in Act: No Mutations, Fullness of Life That Never Ends
“All that could be seen on the outside of my Humanity little by little, step by step, inside of It was one single act, long and continuous, and which still continues… everything that comes from God and remains in God undergoes no mutations, nor increase, nor diminution. Once the act is done, it remains with the fullness of life that never ends and can give life to all, as much as they want of it.”
Malachi 3:6 — “For I, the LORD, don’t change; therefore you, sons of Jacob, are not consumed.” The no-mutations principle — everything that comes from God and remains in God undergoes no mutations — is the Malachi divine immutability axiom applied to the single act: because the Source does not change, the act that comes from and remains in the Source cannot change, increase, or diminish. Direct doctrinal parallel.
James 1:17 — “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.” The “no mutations, nor increase, nor diminution” of the divine act is James 1:17’s divine constancy transposed from attribute to act: what comes from the Father of lights carries his own unchangeableness, remaining in the fullness of its first giving. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Hebrews 7:24–25 — “But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable. Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.” The “fullness of life that never ends and can give life to all, as much as they want of it” is grounded in Christ’s permanent high priesthood: the inexhaustible life-giving capacity of the single act proceeds from the priesthood that continues forever, the “always lives” of Hebrews 7:25 expressing the eternal in-act-ness. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Revelation 1:17–18 — “When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last, and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.” The “living one” who died and yet is “alive forevermore” is the Revelation embodiment of the single act remaining always in act: the death and the resurrection are not successive events that leave each other behind but simultaneous aspects of the one eternal act of the Living One. Direct doctrinal parallel.
1 Corinthians 15:45 — “So also it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.” The single act’s capacity to “give life to all, as much as they want of it” is grounded in Christ as the last Adam who became a life-giving spirit: unlike Adam’s natural life-giving, the last Adam’s spiritual life-giving is inexhaustible because it is constituted by a single eternal act that does not diminish through giving. Direct doctrinal parallel.
The Divine Will Maintaining Everything in Act: Sun, Stars, All Creation, All Christ’s Acts
“My Will maintained and does maintain everything in act – my whole Life, just as It maintains the life of the sun in act, without allowing it to decrease or increase in its light, in its heat and in its effects; just as It preserves the expanse of the heavens with all the stars, without ever shrinking, or dispersing even one star… In the same way, my Supreme Will maintains the life of all the acts of my Humanity, without dispersing even one breath.”
Colossians 1:17 — “He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.” The DW maintaining everything in act — the sun, the stars, all creation, all the acts of Christ’s humanity — is the Pauline “all things hold together in him”: the continuous divine upholding that prevents any diminishment or dispersion in any domain. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Hebrews 1:3 — “His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,” The Supreme Will maintaining the sun in act, the stars without shrinking, and all Christ’s acts without dispersing even one breath — this is the Hebrews 1:3 upholding: the same word/will that upholds the universe upholds the acts of Christ’s humanity with identical constancy, the radiance of glory sustaining what it first radiated. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Isaiah 40:26 — “Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their army by number. He calls them all by name. By the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power, not one is lacking.” The DW preserving the heavens “without ever shrinking, or dispersing even one star” corresponds to Isaiah 40:26’s divine accounting: the same divine power that calls every star by name ensures not one is missing — the same power maintains every act of Christ’s humanity without dispersing even one breath. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Psalm 104:1–2, 5 — “Bless the LORD, my soul. The LORD, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty. He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.” The Supreme Will maintaining the cosmic order — sun, heavens, stars — without mutation or shrinkage is the Psalm 104 governance: God as the one who set each element of creation in its place and maintains it there by the constancy of his will. Typological.
Acts 17:28 — “‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’” The continuous divine upholding of all existence — the sun in its light, the stars in their place, every act of Christ’s humanity in its fullness — is the Acts 17 formula: all things remain in act because they remain in him who is the ground of their being. Direct doctrinal parallel.
The Soul Called to Union with the Single Act: Finding All Goods, All Effects
“Wherever It reigns, this Will of mine does not know how to do separated acts; Its nature is one single act, multiple in its effects, but always one in its act. Therefore It calls the soul who lets herself be dominated by It to union with Its single act, that she may find all the goods, all the effects that only the single act of a God can possess… you will be identified with my acts and will take the fruit of my whole Life.”
John 14:20 — “In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.” Union with the single act — the soul finding all goods within it — corresponds to the Johannine mutual indwelling: to be “in” the single act is to be in the Trinitarian unity in which all goods are simultaneously contained. The DW’s call to the soul is the call to enter the very indwelling from which the single act proceeds. Christological/Trinitarian.
Ephesians 1:3 — “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,” Finding “all the goods, all the effects that only the single act of a God can possess” is the Ephesians 1:3 totality: every spiritual blessing is in Christ, and union with his single act grants access to all of them simultaneously — not partial goods but the fullness. Direct doctrinal parallel.
John 15:5 — “I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” The soul called to union with the single act — and the contrast with doing “separated acts” outside the DW — corresponds directly to the Johannine abiding: the branch united to the vine participates in the vine’s single life and bears much fruit; separated, it bears no lasting fruit. The entry makes explicit what the vine-image implies: the union is with one single act, not with a succession of discrete divine gifts. Direct doctrinal parallel.
2 Corinthians 5:17 — “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.” The soul dominated by the DW and called to union with the single act undergoes the 2 Corinthians transformation: the old mode of separated acts gives way to the new creation’s participation in the single act, the old succession replaced by the new simultaneous fullness. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Hebrews 10:14 — “For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.” The “single offering” of Hebrews 10:14 is the temporal face of the single act: the one sacrifice that perfects “for all time” those being sanctified is the same act that remains always in act, available to all generations as much as they want of it. Direct doctrinal parallel.
The Scale Difference: Sun to Tiny Flame, Sea to Drop of Water
“Since my operating is one single act, between mine and theirs there is the difference that passes between the sun and a tiny little flame, between the great sea and a drop of water, between the vastness of the heavens and a little hole. Only the power of my one act has the power to give itself to all and to embrace everything; and while it gives itself, it never loses anything.”
1 Corinthians 15:40–41 — “There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.” The hierarchical glories of 1 Corinthians 15 correspond to the scale-difference between the single act and the saints’ acts: not merely a quantitative difference but a qualitative difference in the kind of glory — the sun’s glory is categorically beyond the accumulation of lesser luminosities. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Isaiah 40:12, 15 — “Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and marked off the sky with his span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measuring basket, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance. Behold, he lifts up the islands like a very little thing.” The sea-vs-drop comparison has its type in Isaiah 40: the nations’ combined weight registers as a drop from a bucket against the divine measure. The saints’ acts, however holy, stand to Christ’s single act as the drop stands to the sea whose measure the Creator holds in his palm. Typological.
John 3:34–35 — “For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.” The single act’s capacity to “give itself to all and to embrace everything… while it gives itself, it never loses anything” corresponds to the Spirit-without-measure dynamic: the single act gives without exhaustion because it operates through the Spirit given without measure, the fullness never diminished by giving. Direct doctrinal parallel.
Wisdom 7:27 — “Although she is one, she has power to do all things. Remaining in herself, she renews all things. From generation to generation passing into holy souls, she makes friends of God and prophets.” The single act that is “multiple in its effects, but always one in its act,” giving itself to all while losing nothing — this is Wisdom 7:27’s description of the one spirit: one, capable of all things, remaining in itself while renewing all things in every generation. The correspondence is both structural and doctrinal: the DW’s single act is the operative form of what Wisdom 7 describes sapientially. Direct doctrinal parallel.
STAGE TWO — COMPARISON WITH HOGAN’S COMMENTARY
CORRESPONDENCES
Hogan makes no formal Scripture citations for this entry, offering instead a sustained conceptual explanation of the single-act doctrine. The specific interpretive movement she shares with Stage One is the eternal-act-expressed-in-temporal-succession framework: “Everything that God decides to do is decided eternally… this is an eternal act. It was one act. But when you get down into time and space, that one single act is expressed in many, many acts.” This corresponds to Stage One’s John 8:58 / Hebrews 9:12 / John 5:19 identification of the eternal-present as the ground of the temporal-succession.
Both Stage One and Hogan recognize the “still continues” clause as essential: the single act goes on eternally, which is why Jesus can still be seen crucified or suffering in the present moment. This is Stage One’s Hebrews 7:24–25 / Revelation 1:17–18 dimension and Hogan’s pastoral application (“Jesus can show himself crucified to Luisa because it’s happening all the time”).
DEVIATIONS
No competing scriptural identifications — Hogan cites no passages formally. Where Stage One and Hogan diverge is in mode of exposition: Stage One develops the scriptural structure of the doctrine through the Colossians 1:17 upholding, the Hebrews ephapax series, and the Wisdom 7:27 parallel; Hogan explains the concept’s internal logic through analogy and illustration.

ADDITIONS — HERS
No explicit Scripture citations. Hogan’s principal contribution is the conceptual-access dimension: “any person of any generation from human history, from the beginning to the end, can benefit from this as much as they want, because all of this is available to us.” This extends the entry’s “give life to all, as much as they want” claim across all generations, its implicit scriptural ground being Hebrews 7:24–25 (saves to the uttermost those who draw near in every generation) and 1 Corinthians 15:45 (last Adam as universal life-giving spirit). Stage One identified both passages but did not develop the universal-temporal-access dimension with Hogan’s explicit clarity.
Hogan’s pastoral identification of the crucifixion’s present-tense reality — “he’s being crucified in the church today, he’s being crucified in the world today” — implicitly draws on Colossians 1:24 (filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions) and the Passover pattern of ongoing participation, but these are not cited.
VIP / SPECIAL DESIGNATIONS
No VIP designation. Hogan concludes: “What we’ve done this evening actually requires more meditation than anything else.” No “Very Important Message” or equivalent designating language.
STAGE TWO SYNTHESIS
This entry has an unusual Stage Two structure: Hogan cites no Scripture, offering instead a sustained conceptual exposition. The entire scriptural weight rests on Stage One. Hogan’s contributions are interpretive (the eternal-act-in-temporal-succession framework) and pastoral (the universal-temporal-access and present-tense crucifixion applications), both of which Stage One’s identifications can ground but which Hogan makes explicit without formal citation. The load-bearing scriptural correspondences are: Hebrews 9:12 / 10:14 (ephapax series) as the most precise anchor for the single-act-expressed-in-temporal-sequence; Colossians 1:17 / Hebrews 1:3 as the governing anchor for the DW maintaining everything in act without dispersion; and Wisdom 7:27 as the deepest sapiential parallel for the single act that is multiple in effects yet one, giving itself to all while remaining in itself. This is WOE-1’s most philosophically complete single-entry statement in the corpus, providing the doctrinal grounding for all prior WOE-1 registers (temporal primacy, always-in-act, depository, wheel-within-wheel).
Cross-Entry Synthesis
Volume 19 — August 25, 1926 “The Divine Will makes of the whole Life of Our Lord one single act in His interior.”
The Single Act of the Eternal One: Christ’s Interior Life as Simultaneous Totality
The entry is a single sustained philosophical-theological disclosure on one topic: the Divine Will making of Christ’s entire human life one single act in his interior. The exterior succession of acts — conception, birth, growth, ministry, Passion, death — was the temporal outpouring of an interior simultaneity in which all of these acts were present at once and remain present continuously.
The governing scriptural tradition is Johannine-Hebraic. John 8:58 provides the foundational axiom: the divine “I am” is the eternal present that has no before or after, the eternal single act from which Christ’s temporal life flows as its outpouring. John 5:19 specifies the procession: the Son does only what he sees the Father doing, which means the Son’s temporal acts are the temporal expression of the Father’s eternal single act. The Hebrews ephapax texts (Hebrews 9:12; 10:14) provide the most precise anchor: the “once for all” is the temporal face of the single-act doctrine — what appeared sequentially in history carries the ontological character of one unrepeatable act, and it is this “onceness” that grounds its permanent availability to all generations. Colossians 1:15–17 situates the single act within the cosmic-holding-together that is Christ’s essential function as the image of the invisible God.
Hogan’s explanatory contribution is the clearest non-Scripture account in this session: “Everything that God decides to do is decided eternally… when you get down into time and space, that one single act is expressed in many, many acts.” This is not a new scriptural identification but a precise conceptual bridge between the Entry’s claim and its comprehension.
Everything Remaining in Act: No Mutations, Fullness of Life That Never Ends
The entry specifies that “everything that comes from God and remains in God undergoes no mutations, nor increase, nor diminution,” and that the completed act “remains with the fullness of life that never ends and can give life to all, as much as they want of it.” These are two formally distinct claims — the no-mutations property and the inexhaustible life-giving capacity — with distinct scriptural grounds.
For the no-mutations property, Malachi 3:6 and James 1:17 converge: because the LORD does not change and there is no variation in the Father of lights, what comes from and remains in this source carries the divine immutability. The act does not increase or diminish because its source cannot. For the inexhaustible life-giving capacity, Hebrews 7:24–25 and Revelation 1:17–18 govern: the permanent priesthood that “always lives” to intercede (Hebrews 7:25) and the “living one… alive forevermore” (Revelation 1:18) are Christ’s own self-descriptions of the single act’s temporal inexhaustibility. 1 Corinthians 15:45 grounds the giving-to-all dimension: the last Adam became a life-giving spirit, and unlike the natural life of the first Adam, this spiritual life-giving does not diminish through giving.
Hogan makes the universal-temporal-access dimension explicit: “any person of any generation from human history, from the beginning to the end, can benefit from this as much as they want.” This is the pastoral deployment of what Hebrews 7:24–25 states doctrinally: “he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him” — the “uttermost” extending across all times.
The Divine Will Maintaining Everything in Act: Sun, Stars, All Creation, All Christ’s Acts
Jesus grounds the single-act doctrine in the DW’s general upholding function: as it maintains the sun without allowing its light to increase or decrease, as it preserves the heavens with all the stars without ever shrinking or losing one star, so it maintains all the acts of his humanity without dispersing even one breath.
This section’s scriptural tradition is the cosmic-upholding corpus: Colossians 1:17 (in him all things hold together), Hebrews 1:3 (upholds the universe by the word of his power), Isaiah 40:26 (calls all stars by name, not one is missing), and Acts 17:28 (in him we live and move and have our being). The pattern these texts describe is not creation-maintenance as a background condition but as an active, ongoing, fully intentional sustaining that is as precise and attentive at the level of every star and every breath of Christ’s humanity as it is at the level of the cosmic order. What the DW does for the sun’s light — maintaining it without increase or decrease — it does for every act of Christ’s humanity with the same constancy.
The analogy functions in both directions: the cosmic upholding confirms the single-act doctrine (what the DW does for creation it also does for Christ’s humanity), and the single-act doctrine illuminates the cosmic upholding (the sun is maintained in act for the same reason Christ’s acts are maintained — both are in the DW). This is a significant ECA-1 and WOE-1 convergence: the eternal creative act that sustains the universe is the same act that sustains Christ’s humanity, and both are identical in mode.
The Soul Called to Union with the Single Act: Finding All Goods, All Effects
The entry’s practical conclusion is the soul’s call to union with the single act: “May your attention be to remain united to that single act of the Eternal One, if you want to find the whole Creation and the whole Redemption in act.” Three scriptural texts converge to ground this call.
John 14:20’s mutual indwelling (I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you) establishes the union’s Trinitarian character: to be united with the single act is to be drawn into the very indwelling from which it proceeds. Ephesians 1:3 establishes the goods dimension: every spiritual blessing is in Christ, and union with his single act grants access to all of them simultaneously — the soul “finds” rather than accumulates, because all goods are already present in the one act. John 15:5 establishes the abiding-vs-separated-acts contrast: the soul abiding in the vine participates in its single life and bears much fruit; separated from the single act, no lasting fruit is possible. The entry makes explicit what the vine-image implies: union is not with a series of discrete divine gifts but with one single act in which all gifts are simultaneously contained.
Hebrews 10:14 closes the loop: the “single offering that has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified” is the same single act, the temporal face of its eternal character. The soul united to the single act is united to what perfects for all time — not accumulated holiness but participatory entry into the perfection of the one eternal offering.
The Scale Difference: Sun to Tiny Flame, Sea to Drop of Water
The entry concludes with the qualitative difference between Christ’s single act and the saints’ acts: the difference between the sun and a tiny flame, the great sea and a drop of water, the vastness of the heavens and a little hole.
1 Corinthians 15:40–41 provides the hierarchical-glory framework: the sun’s glory is categorically different from lesser luminosities — not merely quantitatively greater but qualitatively distinct. No accumulation of tiny flames produces a sun; no collection of drops constitutes the sea. Isaiah 40:12, 15 provides the OT scale: the nations as a drop from a bucket against the divine measure — the comparison is not disparagement but structural, identifying the category difference between the divine act and any creaturely act however holy. John 3:34–35 grounds the inexhaustible giving: the single act gives itself to all while losing nothing because it operates through the Spirit given without measure — the fullness never diminished by distribution. Wisdom 7:27 provides the most structurally complete parallel: Wisdom is one, can do all things, remains in herself while renewing all things in every generation. This is the exact profile of the single act — one, multiple in effects, remaining always fully itself while giving itself without diminishment to all.
Synthesis
This entry is the most philosophically complete statement of WOE-1 in the corpus to this point. Prior WOE-1 registers addressed specific phenomenological aspects — the wheel-within-wheel, temporal primacy before-and-after-do-not-exist, always-in-act, the depository, wave-upon-wave. This entry provides the doctrinal foundation for all of them: the single act of the Eternal One that overflows into temporal succession while remaining in itself, undergoes no mutations through the divine immutability, maintains everything it has generated without dispersing even one breath, and calls the soul to union with itself as the access point for all goods simultaneously.
The dominant biblical imagination is the Hebrews-Colossians upholding-and-perfecting corpus, with the Johannine eternal-present and Wisdom’s single-yet-manifold as the flanking traditions. The scriptural traditions most load-bearing for this entry are: the Hebrews ephapax series (Hebrews 9:12; 10:14) providing the most precise single-act vocabulary; the cosmic-upholding corpus (Colossians 1:17; Hebrews 1:3; Isaiah 40:26) grounding the DW-maintains-everything-in-act teaching; and Wisdom 7:27 providing the sapiential parallel for the single act that is multiple in effects yet one, giving itself to all while remaining fully in itself.
The three findings of highest theological significance: first, the ephapax-as-single-act identification (Hebrews 9:12; 10:14) — the Hebrews “once for all” is the temporal expression of what Luisa’s entry names as the interior single act; this retrospectively illuminates why the ephapax is unrepeatable and yet continuously accessible. Second, the Wisdom 7:27 / WOE-1 convergence — the DW’s single act is the operative form of what Wisdom describes sapientially: one, manifold, self-renewing in every generation without diminishment; the WOE-1 doctrine and the Wisdom tradition are structurally identical. Third, the cosmic-upholding / Christ’s-acts-maintained parallel — the DW’s maintenance of Christ’s acts without dispersing one breath is identified as formally identical to its maintenance of the sun and stars; the upholding of creation and the upholding of the Incarnation operate by the same single act, and this convergence retroactively illuminates the relationship between ECA-1 and WOE-1.

19-1926-08-25
WOE-1 — / single-act-of-Eternal-One / most philosophically complete statement in the corpus: “My whole Life was one single act coming from that single act of the Eternal One, which has no succession of acts… everything that comes from God and remains in God undergoes no mutations, nor increase, nor diminution. Once the act is done, it remains with the fullness of life that never ends and can give life to all, as much as they want of it… My Will maintains the life of all the acts of my Humanity, without dispersing even one breath… Its nature is one single act, multiple in its effects, but always one in its act.” Thirteenth confirmed WOE-1 — the most philosophically complete form in the corpus, providing the doctrinal grounding for all prior WOE-1 registers (temporal-primacy, always-in-act, depository, wave-upon-wave). New register: single-act-of-Eternal-One / Christ’s-whole-life-simultaneously-in-act / no-mutations-no-increase-no-diminution / gives-itself-to-all-losing-nothing. Hebrews 9:12; 10:14 (ephapax series), Colossians 1:17, Hebrews 1:3, James 1:17, Malachi 3:6, Wisdom 7:27 governing.
OSS-1 new register — single-act-vs-separated-acts / sun-to-flame-sea-to-drop as qualitative basis: “Since my operating is one single act, between mine and theirs there is the difference that passes between the sun and a tiny little flame, between the great sea and a drop of water, between the vastness of the heavens and a little hole.” New OSS-1 register: the qualitative basis of the distinction between Christ’s operating and the saints’ operating now grounded in the structural character of the acts — single-act vs. separated-acts — rather than only in the inside/outside-the-DW taxonomy. This grounds OSS-1 in the WOE-1 doctrine: the saints operate in separated acts; only in the DW does the soul participate in the single act of Christ and thus in the sun-level rather than the flame-level. 1 Corinthians 15:40–41, Wisdom 7:27 governing.
