Incarnation
CRITICAL: NEVER use manunggaling kawula gusti, the central Javanese mystical teaching (traced to Syekh Siti Jenar and embedded broadly in kejawen and Javanese Sufi thought) that the human self and the Divine become indistinguishably fused through spiritual attainment. The Incarnation is the eternal Son permanently taking on a real, distinct human nature, once, in history, not a pantheistic merging any devotee could in principle achieve.
