of sex as the most immediate epiphany
of either a demonic or a redemptive «Energy,» just as he is the only Christian visionary who has envisioned the universal role
of the female as both a redemptive and a destructive
power; (6) his is the only Christian vision
of the total kenotic movement
of God or the Godhead; (7) he was the first Christian «atheist,» the first to unveil God as Satan; (8) he is the most Christocentric
of Christian seers and artists; (9) only Blake has created a Christian vision
of the full identity
of Jesus with the individual human being (the «minute particular»); and (10) as the sole creator
of a post-biblical Christian apocalypse, he has
given Christendom its only vision
of a total cosmic reversal
of history.

of health and prosperity, but when I was distressed or threatened by sickness, death, or heavy storms
of thunder, my religion would not do, and I found there was something wanting, and would begin to repent my going so much to frolics, but when the distress was over, the devil and my own wicked heart, with the solicitations
of my associates, and my fondness for young company, were such strong allurements, I would again
give way, and thus I got to be very wild and rude, at the same time kept
up my rounds
of secret prayer and reading; but God, not willing I should destroy myself, still followed me with his calls, and moved with such
power upon my conscience, that I could not satisfy myself with my diversions, and in the midst
of my mirth sometimes would have such a sense
of my lost and undone condition, that I would wish myself from the company, and after it was over, when I went home, would make many promises that I would attend no more on these frolics, and would beg forgiveness for hours and hours; but when I came to have the temptation again, I would
give way: no sooner would I hear the music and drink a glass
of wine, but I would find my mind elevated and soon proceed to any sort
