Key Notes
definition
Jiang defines the divine spark in humans as love, and says that loving another person awakens the spark's desire to return to God.
model
Jesus is placed in a lineage of poet-prophets who teach that body is material but soul or consciousness is a divine spark cycling back toward the source.
comparison
Jiang says Thomas and Rumi converge on the image of the world as a prison for drunks because both are inspired by the same source.
