3.1. The Theory of Light: Truth infinite scope of the mind. Demonstrating God
3.1.1. Light as divine light of knowledge
To overcome the limitations of the human mind (finite, temporary mudable, etc.) and power achieve these immutable and eternal truths, that man needs divine help that is illuminated by the divine light and thus be able to apprehend, to capture what that transcends our minds. The man that seeks truth, illuminated by God, in its own internal (The Truth dwells inside the man, this is the road to God). Once you have received from God the daylight will be able to see the essential truths and necessary. not go away, back to yourself. In the inner man inhabits the truth .?
Its starting point is therefore the privacy of consciousness, a process that leads upward beyond the man himself. Through degrees of knowledge that is gradually reaching the truth:
1. aversion to the world sensitive
2. discovery of ideas as eternal models (Introversion)
3. union with God as the ultimate foundation (The meaning)
Only those men who strive and will deploy its interiority worth achieving? divine grace ?. It is supernatural aid granted by God to man to practice well and attain bliss. Through her return to the state of innocence that God gave our first parents, makes us? Almost free?. The freedom was the state in which the man lived before the original sin (freedom is not able to sin), then was? free ?, which consists of power not sinning. The man behind the Fall is a choice between good and evil are still departing from the happiness and freedom-is able to choose evil, the power of falling. Therefore, evil can not be attributed to God.
Only those who choose to do good, will be illuminated and llegara contemplation of the truth, which is making it the true Happiness. These truths have been deposited somehow by God in the human mind . God is like the sun platonic and illuminates our minds. Thus, search inside the human being found by the eternal truths something that transcends the soul to God . As Plato, St. Augustine wondered: how can I judge that this thing is beautiful if I do not have an understanding of beauty itself? The sensations are private, individual (what you seem cold, seemed to another hot, what you seem good, it seems wrong to another, what one finds it sweet, bitter or another seemed salty ...), but the universal truths common to all, have to exist. Plato placed in the world of ideas, as St. Augustine thoughts of God who are in the divine mind . But how can a man know?
We can not know the truth unless it is immutable as illuminated by the sun, the sun is God. The light that illuminates the human mind comes from God . Just as sunlight (Plato) makes visible things corpeas divine enlightenment makes visible to mind, the eternal truths .
The human mind, mutable, can not capture the immutable truth, which is higher than our minds. We need divine illumination to capture what that transcends our minds. These truths can not be captured by the senses; must be sought within the spirit. Its interior is immutable truths (since mathematical truths has universal truths and indubitable)
These truths beyond what mudable of human nature, then they can not have its foundation in human nature, which is mudable; you have to take the divine intelligence. And the man can not see them without outside help, because it is a contingent being, and are absolute truths and necessary. Then God illuminates the man so you can know the Truth.
If God is truth and human knowledge is possible by divine enlightenment, which is understood not to St. Augustine has collision between faith and reason, but perfect harmony, and reason can attend faith? understood to believe, cree to understand. Faith is not opposed to reason as something irrational, but you are looking for intelligence-Faith guides and enlightens the reason, and this in turn explains the contents of faith. But why should continue to faith, here again, the philosophy as servant? Ancilla? of faith
As an immediate consequence of this theory of knowledge, we have the demonstration of the existence of God
