And this IS NOT the father, but the father is only the little picture which is put on it.

Now if THIS is the case, then infinity is the screen and then this theory makes sense. But if we HAVE that screen, namely ultimate concern, then we can say, "All right, now come with your psychology^c. You are probably right. And I know what it means to interpret the Calvinistic God^d in terms of father-image-- or in this country, a little bit more of mother-image [smiling; laughter]-- to see how the concrete traits are formed by the actual experiences our unconscious has with our parents, with our early friends, with persons who have impressed us very early, even with experiences with nature, with dreams, and what not -- everything!
