The truth of the world is something that can be debated about how to get to it and what it really is. The general belief of the Western world for many centuries has been that there is only one truth, and that is the truth expressed in the Bible. This is what Edwards believes, and he believes it can be achieved through logic, or directly from God through divine, supernatural light. Emerson challenged the established belief system and said that the truth, which he calls genius, is within all of us. , and that we must "trust ourselves" (2), and not follow anyone else, to find it. Genius is similar to divine, supernatural light, but reveals individualized versions of the truth to everyone, instead of God revealing the truth in the Bible. Edwards says that the divine and supernatural light is not guilt, it is not in your mind, it will not reveal anything new and not stated in the Bible, and it is not in your emotions. All these things are part of the natural world and cannot be "supernatural" light, which cannot be absorbed through any of the natural senses. For example, he says, "conscience is a natural principle for men" (3) and is not supernatural light, furthermore people can experience guilt and other emotions regardless of their belief in Christianity. People who don't believe in Jesus can still feel emotions about Jesus as if he were a fictional character, and guilt is everyone's natural emotion. “Spiritual and divine light does not consist of any impression made on the imagination.” (3)This means that the divine and supernatural light will not come from your thoughts, which may come from the devil, but directly from God. It is not "the suggestion of new truths or propositions not contained in the words of... half of the paper. .. Edwards' views focused on individualism, establishing one's own beliefs and moving away from Christianity for many people, but also leading to religious tolerance, believing that other religions are based on one's concept of genius. This move changed the lives of people who dedicated their lives to God and relied on church and Bible information, to pursuing their own interests and relying on themselves, or the god within themselves, Emerson's beliefs reflect Freud's beliefs in future, the Id is like the genius, everyone's natural intuition, but repressed in most people which represses the Id, and the Ego is what you really are as a result of these things. And according to Emerson, this Ego part of you should be the "trustee" of the Id, or genius and not rely on society. or what others teach you.
