BEGINNING
God said, ‘Let us make persons in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves.’ Gen 1:26
‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind.’ These ARE you, your spirit self, spirit self of all images. These are what God recognizes as you.
We “must have been born from above.” (John 3:7) Biology does not generate spirit.
‘Take it and eat,’ he said. ‘This is my body which is infused with my spirit. Offer it for persons to wonder about the meaning of image.’
Like God, we want to be loved. We are created lovable and loving, the building block of oneness. But we have to be willing. The obstacle in the beginning is our immature minds.
God is Creator. God is what God decides to be. It is of that which we are image.
The chronology of the Bible is that of the awareness of the storytellers. Three millennia later, with more understanding, we are obliged to reevaluate it. Gen 1:26 should be Gen 1:1. We cannot know everything about God but we can know something. That which we can know, God wants us to know. We cannot love God unless we know God and love is our reason for being.
Our minds are created erogenous so we can learn about God’s Love. Our erotic fantasies are transmitted by God to others in our common Mind so we can experience the joy of oneness.
You are not a body. You are free. You are always as God created you.
