From a psychoanalytic point of view, Keller craved to have the Divine Presence play according to His own script, which Keller had made his own.
The Divine Presence played along, until that one point where It broke with the script. He raised His staff as if it were to strike serpent(Eve’s justificationself ).
With that gesture, It pointed to Keller’s horror: Keller was trapped in his own concupiscent skin.
The Divine Presence did not need to deliver the crushing blow. Helen ended the session. That was enough.
In the next session, Helen was not so fortunate. She could not break with the script and delivered the crushing blow herself.
Keller’s concupiscent skin was somehow bound to his deal with the jinn. What the Divine Presence accomplished, by playing along on His own terms, was the separation of Keller justificationself from his concupiscent self. When Rachel realized what the deal was, the separation was accomplished.
Like the Divine Presence, she loved the sinner, and revealed the sin.
