The burst of light at the resurrection is a climax of union. It is the culmination of the glorification process. This can give us great insight into the nature of the resurrection and the extraordinary markings on the cloth.

Fanti theorizes that the reason the shroud has the quality of an X-ray is that, as the body disappeared (resurrected), the cloth fell by gravity through it and picked up the internal images as it did. This assumes the body disappeared from the top down or from the outside in.

I think there is another cause for this. It would be consistent with the principle of union that the cells of His body burst into light from each cell and all parts of the body simultaneously. Because the cells of His body burst simultaneously, the images would have been deposited on the shroud at the same time.

I say the X-ray quality of the shroud is consistent with union based on the correspondences between the structure of the universe and the divine human of Jesus. The study of correspondences reveals that everything in the universe—that is, all of nature and the spiritual world—has correspondence with the divine body of Jesus.

If one were able to view the entirety of the universe, we would see that it is in the shape of the Grand Man, the divine human, which is the human of God—Jesus.

Jesus achieved perfection in the union of His body and soul by the expression of perfect love and wisdom in the natural world.
