Sunrise
Kant elucidates, “In the proper meaning of the word, to orient oneself means to use a given direction ( when we divide the horizon into four of them) in order to find the others- literally, to find the sunrise. Now if I see the sun in the sky and know it is now midday, then I know how to find south, west, north, and east.” The sunrise depicts consciousness which empowers one to reason. Once one is acquainted with the sunrise reasoning is streamlined.
Fiat
Kant observes, “This human being, alone pleasing to God, “is in him from all eternity”; the idea of him proceeds from God’s being; he is not, therefore, a created thing but God’s only-begotten Son, “the Word” (the Fiat!) through which all things are.” The allegorical fiat accentuates Jesus’s mysticism which exalts him relative to the ordinary humans. Jesus’s divinity is unmatchable; thus, humans are expected to venerate him.
Conversion
Kant expounds, “Now conversion is an exit from evil and an entry into goodness, “ putting off the old man and the putting on of the new man.” since the subject dies unto sin ( and thereby also the subject of all inclinations that lead to sin) in order to live unto justice.” The figurative ‘exit’ and ‘entry’ accentuate the spiritual quintessence of conversion. Old actions are not permissible in the life of a converted individual. Conversion is tantamount to exiting a sinful room and entering a realm which inspires spirituality.
